FINANCIAL NEWS
LARGE OFFERINGS QUICKLY ABSORBED New Haven issues Gain Point
 During Rally.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.-Large of- ferings of the principal stocks were absorbed without seriously disturb ing the level of prices in the early trading today. Steel, Amal. and Reading in particular, were put out in round amounts. There was a good demand, however, and while the opening range was slightly lower the market soon hardened. The decline of the last few days put down quo- tations close to the years low fig ures, a fact which encouraged bullish traders to believe a substantial up turn might be expected soon. There was an increase, also, in outside buy ing and the absorptive power Of the market soon caused the bears to de- sist in their efforts. On the rally New Haven gained a point
 Closing.-The market closed strong. The upward movement continued in spasmodic fashion with Canadian Pa cific and the metal shares making the most headway. Full recoveries were made in many instances.

proceed to Mexican waters following so closely upon the dispatch of the Atlantic fleet gave naval officers here plenty of possibilities upon which to speculate. Constitutionalists were in terested to learn whether or not the Pacific fleet would concentrate at ports held by the federals or at Top olobampo held by the rebels as well. Tampico, as well as most of the towns on the Pacific side, is not fortified, and according to the rules of civilized warfare, undefended towns would not be bombarded. It is gen. orally believed that aside from the moral value of the dispatch of so large a naval force to Mexican waters. the chief purpose of it is to place there large forces of b1uejackets and marines for expeditionary movements in case of emergency.
 Two Americans Held.
 Two Americans, Boyless and Far ias, laborers on the San EnflQue ranch, arrested in connection with tho murder of two federal soldiers, are being held in jail at Piedras Negras as witnesses. Their release has been urged by the American consular rep resentatives, but the Mexican author ities while asserting their belief in the innocence of the. prisoners have or dered them held pending an investi- gation, which probably will be ended tomorrow ,,. .,s... s,,.. -- ..

Newspaper Raps Wilson.

London, April 16.-Contrasting the action of President Wilson in connec- ton with the arrest of American blue- jackets at Tampfco with what was done when William s. Benton, the British ranch owner, who was killed at Juarez, the Manchester Guardian, one of the leading newspapers, says today:
 Intervention which murder and rob- bery failed to bring about is appar- ently to be the punishment for a merely symbolic slight on American dignity
 Mexican Policy Doubtful.
 Expressing it's admiration for tho ability and motives of President Will sen the Guardian says it is impossible tc suppress doubts and misgivings on his Mexican policy. It continues:
 Why should Villa murder with impunity and General Huerta be chas- tised with the whole strength of the right arm of the United States for a mere breach of international polite ness? It should be far easier to bring Villa to better frame of mind than to teach Huerta manners. Tn the enc case 1t would have been enough to threaten the rebels that the em- bargo on the exportation of arms and ammunition from the United States would be re-imposed, but what sort of guarantee is there that the capture of Tampico by the American fleet will either mend Huerta's manners or re- lieve the hardships of foreign subjects in Mexico or help any of the interests President Wilson is anxious to serve?
 eff the United States is anxious for ar excuse for intervention in Mexico. an insult to her flag will serve very well; but no one knows better than President Wilson that armed inter- vention once begun cannot easily be confined to the limits that are set for it at the beginning. It is next to im- possible for one country to make itself rartly responsible for the good gov ernment of another and independent country.' >....

OCEAN FLYER GETS
TEST IN MOONLIGHT
Lieutenant Porte, with Only De-
tails to Adjust, Starts for
ST. Johns FRIDAY.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Hammondsport, n. Y. June 30.-The
Rodman Wanamaker transatlantic fly
ing boat America finished the day at
O'Clock tonight in a moonlight flight
over Lake Keuka. For several days
Lieutenant Porte has been contem-
plating taking the machine out at
night, and his anxiety to finish the
work of testing was one OF the rea-
sons for the flight in the dark.
Some changes were made to-day IN
the planning surfaces of the America
The big arms on the sides of the hull
were widened and the extension which
was placed on the step two days ago
was removed Late this evening both
Porte and Glenn II. Curtiss agreed
that tomorrow would see the end OF
their experiments.
The two propellers, which have been
made by DR.. Olmstead, of Buffalo, have
been shipped and will be bolted in
place tomorrow. Testing these pro-
pellers will be the last work Porte
will do in Hammondsport He will go
TO New York some time tomorrow and
sail for Newfoundland on Friday.
To-day's flights were not spectacular,
and the only feature OF particular I'm
portance was an increase Of the gross
weight to 1880 pounds, a slight gain
over that of yesterday. A new aneroid
which Porte will use on his ocean flight
was tested tonight while the America
was planning about the lake. Elwood
Doherty and Francis Wildman ascend
ed to an altitude Of 1900 feet with
the instrument and carefully watched
the registration of altitude.

Same Old Bill Promises Hell
Fight Dragon of Graft II
He's Reelected.

Somewhere in the neighborhood OF
137th St. and Broadway exists tne
Young Mems Sulzer Club. It's exist
ence was proved by the presence OF
eleven Young men, who said they wer'
members. in the Hamilton Square
building last night, who listened TO
the same old Bill make one OF ms
same old speeches in his same old
style.
Besides the eleven young men there
were forty-nine other adult majesty
careful count-and seven women.
Il was Suffers opening speech IN
his campaign for Governor Samuel
Bell Thomas and Louis Sarecky, two
members of his faithful Kitchen kabi-
net, who were also billed as stars,
failed to shine.
Refreshments announced on the pro.
gramme went the way of Samuel and
Louis.
While Sulzer was making his bid for
the votes of the electorate present word
came that the better part of his ticket
had gone TO smasL.
Ii was already known that George
Foster Peabody, drafted by Sulzer 10
run for the Job Of State Treasurer, had
refused to be drafted. But it was news
that Colonel william De Hcrtburn
Washington. n collateral descendant OF
the Father of His Country, had an
nounced that he would not accept the
nomination for State Engineer allotted
him by Sulzer.
Rumor had it also that John A. Hen
messy. whom Sulzer decided he would
run for State Controller. would also de-
cline. It can be authoritatively stated,
however, that William Sulzer will run
for Governor.
