N. Y. Stock Exchange
Is Disturbed by Re-
port as About to
Sign Contract
Wants TO Control Western Union
Sale Of Quotations

New York, March 1S.-Authenticated
reports that so-called bueketshops
had resumed operations in northern
New York and some of the New Eng
land states caused considerable agi-
tation today in Stock Exchange cir
cles, particularly in view of the fact
that new contract is soon to be sign
ed between the exchange and the
Western Union Telegraph Co., for
distribution of stock quotations.
The Western Union has had the sole
right of the sale of these quotations
to outsiders for many years. paying
the exchange 100000 annually for the
concession. To what extent the tele-
graph company has protited by this
privilege is not ascertainable, mas
much as it has never disclosed the
number of its patrons.
The exchange purposes, in its new
contract, to bind the Western Union
not to sell it's quotations to any in
dividual, firm or corporation without
the approval of the exchange.
The Western Union has expressed
its willingness to comply with this
stipulation, which in the judgment of
the exchange officials would effectual-
ly stop all stock quotation operations
of an illicit character, and speedily
drive existing Offenders out of BUSH
ness.
The old quotation contract between
the Stock Exchange and the Western
Union expired over five years ago,
since which time it has been con-
Quoted on a day-to-day basis.
The committee appointed by the ex-
change to renew negotiations with
the Western Union declares that 1t
will not enter into a new contract
unless that corporation agrees abso-
lutely to the terms imposed.

lie schools were attacked as inefficient,
and school laws as inadequate by
speakers today at the closing session
of the 10th annual National Child La
Dor conference. improvements in

Nine. Caillaux seems today to have be-
come a popular heroine amid all the tur-
moil. Among the crowds of excited, ges-
ticulating people, her name is heard con-
stantly. She is talked of as the victim of
her love for her husband and as his in
strument in committing the crime which
has robbed the press of prominent writ
er and the French cabinet of its leading
spirit.
The crowds have adopted as their own
the assertion of Deputy Delahaye in the
Chamber last night that cabinet minis
tiers nowadays sent their wives to kill
those obstructing their path The excite
ment among the populace is worked upon
by the many sensational newspapers
among the 1879 daily publications of Paris.

things and the paper vendors yell the in
situations among the crowd, exciting the
people still further.

Minimize Reports of
Any Serious Fighting

Ell Paso Texas, March 1S.-The most
thorough canvass today of those in
position to know military develop
ments in the Torreon region resulted
in a intimidation of reports OF the
clashes of the Federals and rebels at
Escalcn and Rosario.
The official tone in Juarez was opti-
mistic, and the prediction was made
that hte real battle of Torreon lies in
the future.
The report that Federals had sue
ceeded in getting behind the rebels at
Jiminez was dispelled when it was
learned that official reports to Chihua-
hua were coming by wire from g
point far south of that city.
This was taken to indicate that while
tie rebel forces might have suffered
a check at Escalon. the check was
without any real significance.
Further doubt was thrown on Fed
eral reports of a decisive victory when
Gen. Benavides. who was said to have
been killed at Escalon, telegraphed nip
father In this city assurances of his
safety.
