New Yors, Oct. 3—The stock market again opened with a moderate volume of busi- ness this morning, but as usual a few stocks did the great bulk of the business and Atchison, Burlington, Reading, St. Paul and cotton oil attracted almost all the attention of the market. First prices were generally steady, the Chap being small and irregular from those of last evening. Atchison and cotton oil, which seems to have taken the place so lately occupied by sugar, were decidedly weak, and Atchison retired 1% to 32k and cotton oil 1 to 4734. The rest of the list sympathized with the decline, but the changes were for small fractions only and Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western preferred and Burlington were strong, the former rising 1 to 1163¢ and the latter a fraction to 109. Atchi- son later retired to 32and cotton oil to 47%. There was no change in the ‘temper of the market, and at 11 o'clock it i iet | and heavy to weak at the lowest prices reached | and generally small fractions below the open- ing prices. ss To Bar Out Natalfe.

XO LIQUOR LICENSES FOR WOMEN. ‘Mr. Frank P. Madigan called upon the Com- missioners today in the interest of the women who now hold retail liquor licenses. The object of his call was to learn the Com- missioners were determined to carry out that of the new regulations governing the sale of liquor, which applied to | the granting of liquor licenses to women. He called the COmmissioners’ attention to the fact that licenses now held by women were left them by their husbands. Many of these places he said were prominent restaurants con- ducted in the best manner, and he thought it a shame to deprive the women of livelihood. Commissioner Hine said that the whole question had been carefully considered pro and con and it was the unani- mous opinion of the board that liquor licenses should not be issued to women, and they pro- posed to live up to it. THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD. Recently Capt. B. W. Meade, commandant of the Washington navy yard, ina letter to the Commissioners requested a general permit to make such repairs to the steam, water and sewer pipes connected with the navy yard system. but located outside the yard, as might from time to time be required. Capt. Lusk in his report upon the subject says that he does not think a permit should be granted, as it is not desirable. He recommends that Capt. — gapped ge any i peipmende may make for permits w: erent without delay. Whe Commissioners ha oved the recommendation and today jotter to Capt. Meade to that effect, crRcLE, printed Capt.

The handsome and appropriate floral design placed in the middle of the lunch table at the White House reception yesterday was designed by Mrs. Harrisen. The idea of having half the globe represented with the North and South American continents embossed in flowers was an inal idea. She had the piece made and placed on the table and the fret the President and Secretary Blaine knew of it was when they saw iton the table. The water of the globe was represented by the smooth deep green leaves of the laurel or holly, giving almost the color of the sea, and the land of flowers gave the exact outline of the two continents. The delegates were delighted with the de- sign and made many flattering comments upon it’ Mr. Blaine said it was the feature of the lunch, and gave Mrs, Harrison much praise. Army Changes.

At just 8:15 o'clock this morning, the hour fixed by the published echedule for starting, the train bearing the delegates to the inter- national congress on their tour of inspection pulled out of the Pennsylvania railroad sta- tion. It was the handsomest train ever run out of that station, with the possible exception of the train that carried the President of the United States and his party to the centennial in New York last April. There were seven cars in the train, all vestibuled ond all fresh from the Pennsylvania shops, Even the engine was new. On the side of the composite car Esperansa, immediately behind the engine, was lettered in gold, ‘International American Congress—Pennsylvania Special.” In this car was the dynamo which furnished electricity to illuminate the entire train, the bath room snd barber shop, the library, and the smoking car. BEHIND THE COMPOSITE CAR was the dining car Windsor, its larder stocked with every delicacy. Then came the vestibuled Pullman cars—Russia, Japan, India, Columbus, and Washington. They were the largest size Pullman cars, each with twelve sections snd two drawing rooms. Each ighted from above by incandescent lights. while other lights were arranged in each berth, so that the trav- elers could have their sleeping apartments lighted at night if they choose, George W. Boyd, the assistant general pas- senger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Mr. Martin of the Pullman palace car company were on the train superintending every ar- rangement, ARRIVAL OF THE DELEGATES. ‘The delegates began to reach the station at 7:80 o'clock. They were met at the entrance by the representative of the Pennsylvania road, 8. W.F. Draper, and W. E.Curtis, the agent of the State department. Each was assigned to his lace on the train and escorted to the cars. ere was very few people in the station to say od-bye to the delegates. Shortly before the ime for the departure of the train Secretary Proctor arrived. He was going to West Point with the party to witness the unveiling of the Childs pictures there, At 8:14 Mr. Ourtis announced that all of the party were on the train. The signal for de- jure was given and at just 8:16 the train Moved out of the station. EX-SENATOR HENDERSON LEFT, Mr. Curtis made a mistake, however, when he said that all of the party were on board. Three minutes after the departure of the train ex-Senator Henderson, the temporary chairman of the conference, hurried into the station. He was too late even for the melancholy satisfac- tion of seeing the train pull out of the station. He was met bya representative of the State poral who put him on the regular 9 o'clock train for New York, on which he will be able to reach West Point by 5:30 p.m. if he does not miss connection. THOSE WITH THE PARTY. In addition to the delegates, a full list of whom has already been published in Tux Stax, the following gentlemen were of the party: W. E.

Mr. Mat- tingly raised the hat and discovered the man to be Joe Hayes. The surprise was mutual. Hayes said that he had come from Chicago. The officers giving up their Baltimore business for the time, took Hayes to the sixth precinct station, where he was locked up.

Chairman Parker had an interview with the District Commissioners today, at which it was finally determined that Pennsylvania avenue should be wired on~* the day of the de, next Tuesday, as on inauguration day, This measure was urged by the committee as the only means by which the avenue could be kept perfectly c! for the parade. There was objection on the part of the Commissioners because = of the damage to be done to the pavement by sinking the posts or uprights on which the wires are to be gins} and also on account of doubt as to the legality of practically closing the street. The triennial committee, through Mr. Parker, today engaged to repair all dam- age done to the pavement at their own ex- pense. The Commissioners having satisfied them- selves that they had legal authority to take the means proposed for gems the parade from the embarrassment that might follow if the street became crowded with people. the order was made today to have the avenue wired. The Western Union company, which has consented to furnish the wire necessary, will send the quantity required from Philadelphia. Major Raymond was opposed to granting the permission to wire the avenue, and the order was passed by the Commissioners over his note. His chief objections were that it would not only injure the new pavement by reason of cutting holes into it for the poste, but it would make the District liable to lawsuits, There is a law- suit pending now by a man who was injurod by the ropes on Jast inauguration day. A GUEST FROM ENGLAND, Chairman Parker will have as his guest dur- ing the conclave Thomas A. McCammon, who will arrive here tomorrow from England. Mr. McCammon is tho representative of the Grand lodge of the District near the Grand lodge of Ireland, having been appointed to that office by Mr. Parker when the latter was grand master of the District, AM IMPORTED BAND. Among the questions which Chairman Parker had to have settled today was an intesesting one raised over a band of music, One of the Canadian bodies coming proposes to bring a band, but it is found that the contract labor law is in the way. Obair- man Parker went to see the Secretary of the Treasury this afternoon to have the necessary orders made to admit the band across the border. At a meeting last night of the ladies’ commit- tee of DeMolay commandery details were made for ladies to be present on different days, TO RECEIVE AT THE B. AND P. DEPOT. Sir Knight E. B.

The Commissioners will issue an order to that effect. INVITATION TO COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS. The other letter was in the shape of an invi- tation to Commissioner Douglass. inviting him to be present at the opening of the Grand en- campment and deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the city of Washington, and also an invitation toa seaton the presidential re- viewing stand. It is understood that Commis- sioner Douglass will accept the invitation, NO STREET “FAKIRS” ALLOWED, The street fakirs will not be permitted to op- erate in this city during the conclave next week. The nuisance was carried too far at the last inauguration, and now the police have been instructed to arrest all faki: “It will be useless for parties to apply for permits to sell goods, wares or novelties upon the streets, avenues or reservations, as no such permits will or can be given, under section 222 of the statutes relating to the District, and all Sere: found violating this section will be ar- rested.” The above notice has been posted in police headquarters, where it can be seen by those who call for permits. This order is not, how- ever, to prevent boys from selling badges, but- tons and other novelties when boys keep moving.

The man wanted for the place is one whose selection would be well received |by the country at large and who would have also a strong influence with the Grand Army.

But the wh thing seems to be high “‘in the air.” THE TAX RATE FIXED. The Rate Per Hundred on Real Estate.

The trial board was composed of Capt. M. A. Austin, Inspector Swindells and Lieut. John F. Guy. Long before the case was called there were several East Washington citizens at police headquarters who looked as though they were ready and willing to tell all they know about thecharges, There were also on hand a num- ber of policemen from the fifth precinct station and the two station keepers. A number of citizens appeared as witnesses for the lieutenant who were severe in their denunciation of the man who made the charges, ed that it was 2 police officer, but as denied by the officers.

A TALK WITH THE GOVERNOR, A Stan reporter saw the governor at the AR lington this afternoon. “The real object of my visit to Washington,” he said, ‘‘was to settle the bond question that has been troubling us a little. North Carolina issued some railroad bonds which in the present good condition of the state's credit are more valuable than government bonds. A question arose as to the settlement for some $147,000 of these bonds with the government, and I am | here in that connection. I have seen most of | the administration and a very satisfactory settlement bas been reached. We get our bonds back by the payment of their face value. The settlement is practically upon the plan pro- pose by me in May, THE PRESIDENT INVITED TO THE TARWEEL STATS He laughed over the Indian affair and said he was sorry he did not see Secretary Proctor. The part of the state where they propored to put the Indians was one of ihe most desutifal laces in the country. He invited the Presi- | dent to come down there and see the place and | have as good « time as he could have anywhere | in the country. The governor is accompanied by the district —— F. H. Busbeo, and State Treasurer —— The Result in Montana, The President received « private telegram this afternoon from Montana, asserting that the republicans have carried the legislature and that Carter (rep.) has been elected to Con- grea.
