FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Opened Strong, But Closed Weak
Bonds Barely Steady.

New York, Feb. 26. - Opening with
some show Of strength under the lead
Of Reading and American Locomotive,
which soon rose two points each, to-
tady's brief market gradually yielded
to increasing pressure which emanat-
ed largely from professional sources.
A better understanding of the political
situation at Washington was more
than offset by latest reports of Ger
man success in France.
This latter development served for
the further depression of prices, va
rious speculative issues scoring lowest
prices of the week. Support was neg
ligible at best, even in the investment
shares. while specialties offered no re-
sistance.
Among the weakest stocks were pc
troleum motors Mercantile Marine
pfd., Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomo-
tive and American Zinc. Coppers,
which manifested decided f1rmness at
the outset, fell back in common with
the general list later and U. S. Steel
to pressure.
Leading railroads like Canadian Pa
cidc, New York Central and NorfiIk
and Western, were lower by 1 to
the final dealings. New York Chicago
and st. Louis common and second
preferred declined 1 IA and points
respectively, on small offerings. Total
sales OF stocks amounted to 275, 900
shares.
Included in the days news items was
the official statement on January for
eign trade which showed a decided
recession from the high tide of recent
months, the weekly reports of the
mercantile agencies, containing the
significant statement that a DISPOSE
ton to proceed with caution is
evtnced in various quarters and the
beginning Of a movement to relieve
the problem arising from the car
shortage.
The weekly exhibit of the clearing
house institutions reflected some of
the recent new financing and shifting
of loans incidental to such operations
Atcautl loans expanded by almost
$4,000, 900, with a cash loss of almost
81, 100000 and a decrease of ST.
100000 in excess reserves, reducing
that item to the smallest total since
March Of last year.
Bonds were barely steady. with to-
tai sales (par value) $1,625, 900.

Cornell Defeats Army.

Cornell outplayed the Army all the
way through Saturday at basketball,
winning by a score Of So to &c. The
upstaters started with a substitute
team which looked better than any
other aggregation that has visited here
this year. So fast was it's work and
so accurate it's shooting from scrtm-
mage that the big Red team had IL
points to its credit in the first half be-
fore the cadets woke up.
1t was then too late, and although
the Army made a gallant attempt the
visitors were too far out in front, and
the half closed with the score 10 to
IL in CornelTs favor. In the second
period the Army showed flashes of
offensive strength now and then, but
Cornell never was in danger Fuller
and Ortner were stars for Cornell
At the conclusion of the game the
cadets elected John T. Cole, of Char
lotesville, Va, a member of the class
of 1T, as their captain for next year.
Cadet Cole has played guard all sea-
son and was substitute end on the
football team last fall

FORT WRIGHT TEAM
GETS SIGNALS CROSSED.
Through Misunderstanding They
Journey to DanieIson Expecting to
Play.
Especial to the Bulletin. }

Especial to The Bulletfn.)
Danielson, Feb. 26.-An unfortunate
crossing of arrangement signals
brought the Fort Wright basketball
team here Saturday evening for
game they expected to play with the
Danielson team. but the latter organ
tzat1on was not on hand to play them.
The soldiers went to the town hall
and were very much surprised squad
when they learned that the Danielson
management had not expected them
and that the local team was not on
hand to play There had been cores
pondence between representatives of
the team, followed by g. telegram from
the Fort Wright boys saying that they
would come Saturday and unless they
received a return message instructing
them not to do so. They did not re-
ceive any such message, they claim,
so came along.
The bad feature about the whole
proposition as viewed by some of the
soldiers was that they hit this town
broke or at least with too little mon
eny to get them back to Fishers Is
land. After watching the high school
game at the town hall they went to
the Attawaugan hotel, Landloard S. D.
Horton playing the good Samaritan by
providing with rooms for the night
and their breakfast and home going

TWO STEAMSHIPS
SUNK BY MINES

crew off All the boats had already
been swung out before she struck, as
precaution against accident, and all
those aboard had sufficient time to
put on life belts, instruction in the use
of which had been given the previous
evening.
Boat after boat and a number of
RATS were sent away, but several per-
sons leaped into the water and were
picked up by the surrounding craft. 1t
was at first thought that all had been
saved, but later bodies were washed
ashore and their number was gradually
added to during the day.
Owing to the fact that Dover is I'M
der strict military law, it was possible
to obtain only meagre details from
both passengers and crew behaved
splendidly.
Many Were British Officials.
The passengers were for the most
part British officials in the Indian SER
vice, the most prominent being Judge
Oldfield of the Indian high court. Only
one of the crew of the Empress of Fort
William was drowned.
Up to midnight the bodies landed
from the Maloja include IS men, IL
women and 4 children, in addition to II
Lascars. Among the dead is Mrs. Nc
Leod, wife of General Mcleod.
A Terrific Explosion.
It was about 1890 in the morning that
the disaster occurred. The MalOja was
steaming down the channel, children
playing on the deck and most of the
passengers carrying life belts in their
hands. Suddenly a terrific explosion
blew in the side of the second saloon
and 20 minutes later the steamer sank
Vessel Turned Turtle.
Just before she went to the bottom
the vessel turned turtle and for a few
seconds the keel was visible above the
surface. According to eye witnesses
there was a second explosion, and while
under the water the vessel rtghted her
self, the masts became visible, and
then she went down.

ship to the last. Though all were
saved, not one of them left the ship in
the boats and they were all picked up
fro mthe water.
Several Children Blown to Pieces.
The captain from the bridge directed
the lowering of the boats and called on
everybody to keep calm and everybody
kept calm, for the scene Immediately
after the explosion was one sufficiently
terrifying to cause a panic. Several
children were blown to pieces and the
deck was covered with wreckage and
wounded, but there was no sign OF
panic. j
Heavy Sea Hampered Rescue Work. !
Only a few boats could be lowered
and the heavy sea made the rescue
work difficult. The majority of those
saved were on RATS, of which the ship
carried a large number.
Boat capsized.
Most of the women and children lost
their lives owing to the fact that one
boat already in the water drifted un-i
der another which was being lowered
and capSized.
The captain remained on the bridge
until thrown into the water by the last
lurch of the ship.
Statement by Line officials.
The steamship line issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE Peninsular and Oriental line
regrets to state that at 1870 o'clock
Sunday morning, when the steamer
Maloja was midway between Dover
and Folkestone, she was struck by q
mine, the after part of the ship being
blown up. There was a high sea run

HARVARD WINS COLLEGE
HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP
Yale Seven BewiIdered at the Crimson
Attacks.

Led by Captain J. Morgan, the Har-
ward hockey team proved too fast for
the Yale seven in the Arena at New
Haven Saturday night, defeating the
Eli pucksters by the score of to 2,
and thereby winning the Intercolle-
giate hockey championship. The Yale
team, with the exception Of Holcomb
York, seemed bewildered during the
entire contest, except at two or three
intervals, and did not by any means
demonstrate the form which was ma
terial in securing a win over the
Princeton hockey players few nights
ago.
The Harvard forwards failed to get
their stride until the second half of
the game, when they completely out
skated the Blue players, and lombard
ed Holcomb York in amazing fashion.
The Eli goal tender, however, kicked
away drive after drive, but this did
not discourage the Crimson men, who
kept up their terrific assault until the
bell rang for the close of the game.
Captain J. Morgan, Thatcher and
Rice were the brilliants for the Har-
ward pucl<sters. Their passing. espec-
tally in the second half of the game,
was too much for the Blue players,
and but for the spectacular work of
Holcomb York, the Eli cage defender,
would have rolled up an unusually
large score.
