New Yorx, March 7.—Stocks opened weak and lower. The feature was the heavy selling of American sugar, which broke to 11834, against 122%, at the close yesterday. ‘There was a further decline in stocks after 10 o'clock owing largely to sales on “stop” orders. Subsequently a rally set in, Manhat- | tam rose 23%. to 158%; sugar 13g, to 119%{; whisky 1.to 33, and general electric 3. to 1043,. Call loans opened at 20a25 per cent and the supply was limited even at these high figures. he feature of the stock market after 11 o'clock was another break in sugar, which sold as low as 1175< net,a net decline of 5% per cent. ‘The selling was due chiefly to continued reports ti.at there will be no extra dividend. ‘The stringency in money had a tendency to check speculation, but as the shorts were dis- posed to cover,a rally occurred before 12 o'clock. Money on call was active and stringent at 1-16a1-8 per cent per diem and legal interest.

The most desirable plums are the of the District, the recorder of doods, the register of wills; tho posttasterahipy the superintendent of charities, the district attorney and the judges of ‘the District Court of Ap) | must bea non-resident of the District, and, | naturally enough, it is an office in which Dis- | trict democrats are little interested. It seems }to be the general belief that Mr. | A. A. Wilson will be reappointed United States marshal if he so desires, and there appears to be little doubt that he does desire that honor. It is said by some that Mr. James L. Norris is after the office notwithstanding thefact that Mr. Norris asserted be an applicant for any office, nor would he ac- cept one. Mr. Lawrence ner and Mr. E. L. Cutting of Columbus, Ohio, are also said to be not averse to accepting such an honor. Few believe that District Attorney Birney will be removed, at least not before he has served some considerable time in the office, to which he was lately appointed, and hence few names are at mentioned in connection with that position. Should, however, it become krown that Presi- | dent Cleveland intended to make a change, it is understood that Mr. Andrew A. Lipscomb would make a bid for the honor. It is also understood that _—_ Police Court Judge Miller would not be at all offended if appointed. Judge Miller's term does not expire until May 16, 1894, and should no other honor be conferred ‘upon him in the meantime there seems to be little, if any doubt, that he he will be reappointed to his present position. Should, however, the president promote one or more of the justices of Supreme Court of the District, to’ the bench of the Court of Appeals, itwould little surprise many lif Judge Miller should be appointed to fill one of the vacancies thus made. The names most prominently mentioned in con- nection with the Court of Appeals are Judge Martin V. Montgomer ‘ex-Representative Hemphill of South Carolina, Chief Justice Bin, bam, Martin F. Morris, R. Ross Porry. J. J. Darlington and H.0.Claughton. It is rumored here that Senator Gray of Delaware would ac- cept an appointment as the chief justice of the court. ‘There is a lurking suspicion shat the new re- corder of deeds will be a colored man, and it ie said that Dr. Jerome Riley, the president of the mer Club “of this city, Charles H. J. Taylor, colored _ newspaper man ‘of Kansas, and A. H. Grimke of Massachusetts are candidates. Not- withstanding this suspicion it is understood that even though the office is not as desirable a place as heretofore, through the making of it a salaried office, Messrs, Thos. J. Luttreil, H. L. Biscoe, Cranch Melntire and J. Fred Kelley would not refuse the hono For the ‘office of register of wills it is not thought unlikely that Mr. Cleveland's former register, Mr. Dorsey Clagett, will be reappointed. Nor it is believed that Mr. C. C. Lancaster would step aside should the office seek him. The general impression is that City Post- master Sherwood will be allowed to fill out his term, which expires next September one year, for the reason that Capt. Sherwood is a grippled Union veteran, that his predecessor, John W. Ross, was_not ‘removed by Mr. Har- rison, and because Postmaster Sherwood’s ap- pointment was a recognition of civil service re- form. However, it is understood that the following local democrats voice’ the senti- ments of Mr. Barkiss, J. Harrison Johnson, Mills Dean, W. D. Peachy, chief of the registry division of ‘the office and John A Clarke. Pre Sas SHE DREAMED OF BLOOD. A Woman's Presentiment and # Double Tragedy. ‘The guests and employes of the Stafford Hotel at Chicago were startled at 5 o'clock yee- terday afternoon by a woman's screams coming from one of the rooms, A chambermaid ran to the apartment, and, upon opening the door, was confronted with ahorrible sight. Frank Eck, aged twenty-eight, and his wife, Frances, aged twenty-six, were lying upon the floor of the room weltering in blood, with their throats cut from ear to ear. The girl gave an alarm and the police were summoned. ‘The couple were married a year and a half ago at Kansas City and moved from there to St. Louis and about two weeks ago went to Chi- cago. The wife secured employment at the hotel as a chambermaid. Of the husband but little is known, as he did not board at the hiotel. A singular coincidence is that Mrs. “Eck dreamed Sunday night that she was wading in blood. She told this dream to some of the guests of the hotel and her fellow employes yes- terday morning. Eck was of a» singularly morose disposition and it is thought that, in an insane spirit of jealous rage, he cut his wife's | throat and then his own. | The bodies were | taken in eharge by the coroner and an inquest will be held ee ‘Vicar General Brady Dead. Rev. P. G. Brady, vicar generalof the diocese of St. Louis, died yesterday. He had been ill for some time with a complication of diseases, Father Brady was one of the best known Catholic priests west of the Mississippi river. He was born in St, Louis in 1847 and educated | at Cape Girardeau College. He officiated as psstor in several of the city churches and, in 1884, when Bishop Ryan removed to Philadel- Phin, Father Brady was appoinjed vicar general of this diocese. For many years he bad the confidence of Archbishop Kenrick and in the last two or three vears act ae administrator of the Catholic affairs i diocese. It was well known that Archbis! Kenrick had signi- fied his wish to Rome that Father Brady should be appointed as his coadjutor. This wish was opposed by many, und the fact that his promo- tion was antagomzed had a disheartening effect on Father Brady. Recent developments in the coadjutorship question added to his grief and contributed to undermining his health. Reetharasi yarns The New P. and RK.

The se- eresy of the caucus was most zealously guarded, even going 0 far as to closing to Mrj Moore, clerk of the committee on the District of Columbia, the room of that committee which hes doors leading into the room in which the caucus was held. The first work accomplished by the caucus was the election of Senator Gorman as presi- dent and Senator Fanlkner as secretary of tic caucuses. The question which kept the caucus in session for so long was whether or not the reorganization of the Senate at this session should extend be- ond the make-up of the various committees new Senators earnestly advocate the elec- tion of all officers of the Senate at once, while the older and more conservative mem- bers favor the plan to allow this matter | jo over until Congress again meets. This was debated pro and con at some | length, but it was finally decided by referring th toa committee which will be ap- pointed probably tonight. This committee will also have charge of the reorganization of the | Senate committees. Though the matter was disposed of in this manner today the report of the, a may not finally be agreed upon, and the fight wil reopened when’ the committer makes Although of the | committee it is believed that the chairman- | ships announced in Tue Star yesterday will be agreed to and that Senator Harris will be the next chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia.

Opinions there as to the course that will be taken by the United States are as diverse as the many factors in Hawaiian poli- tic, As a general proposition, however, the American and German interests in Hawaii strongly urge upon the government at Wash- ingtow the necessity of protecting the business in- terests at least of the islands by annexing them. The native Hawaiians are divided on the proposition, on the one side being an innate love for royalty, affection for Princess Kaiu- lani, now being educated in England, and pride in native institutions; on the other side a desire for greater prosperity and greater enfranchise- ment, which would follow the inauguration of republican rule as one of the American states. The English sentiment against annexation is, not so strong as that which prevails against the ides of a Hawaiian republic, and it has even been stated on good authority that at no time within the past five years would Great Britain have seriously protested against the islands forming a part of the United States. If, however, the United States should now, for any reason or in any contingency, decide to advise that a republican form of government with a native ruler sveceed the dethroned mon- archy, the opinion is freely expressed that mil- lions of capital would be withdrawn at once from her aud native business intgresta, such as they are.would be forced to struggle against’ steadily growing competition of Chinese and Japanese. It has been stated by naval officers, who do not desire their names published, that in their opinion bloodshed even would follow the dec ration.of a native republic, and that for this reason nothing of the kind’ would be proffered Washington. The general view is that nothing remains in such an event but the Testoration of Queen Liliuokalani or the Princess Kaiulaui, Dacked by an American protectoral glish one, or annexation to Great Britain. ‘The government has reached the point where executive sessions are largely dispensed with, fund the day the schooner left an invitation was tendered to newspaper reprosentatives of the United Statey to visit the ministry and attend s meeting of the advisory council. President Dole stated that in his opinion the United States government would proceed with due regard to the different interests in the isiands and that a satisfaétory conclusion wonld be. eventually reached. P, C. Jones, ministor of finance, and who held the same pouition under the late monarchy from December to January, said the queen managed to sccure the necessary twenty-five to port her efforts to istry to terms by appropriati and expending among them 87,000 cad by male ing promi to certain members that one should be appointed minister to Washington and another should have a voice in the forma. tion of a new ministry.

Yes- terday the majority of his callers were on pleas- ure and curiosity bent. ‘Foday the situation is reversed; it is strictly business with the major- ity of them. Early in the morning the lobby outside of the Premdent's door and ‘Private Secretary Thurber's door in the official portion of the building began to fll up with people antio for an audience. Some got im and some did not. Some came out smiling and some wote deep, dark frowns. The crowd of callers who found their way up stairs was a mixed one, Congressmen, civilians, old friends of the President and would-be friends; gray-headed politicians and young democracy. ! | WHAT THEIR FACES SAID. A reader of faces might have seen on some of the countenances an expression which could be ¥ bedi hum! ‘ite sta Thouch hu Pi take it fs Will they get it? Well, that is a question of ‘ime. One of the earliest callers this morning was Representative Meredith of Virginia. He whisked in for a moment and out again, after a word with the President. Mr. Jas. J. Fox of Buzzard’s Bay, Mass, 9 neighbor of the President's seaside home, called with Mr. J. G. Powers, He reports that ae eomeon for fishing next summer are 01 quick and SEVERAL GROUPS HAVE A HEARING, In the next half hour several groups passed inside the swinging doors of the cabinet room, which is a halfway house between the lobby and the presidential presence.

The new Senator from Nebraska, Mr. Allen, was piloted in by Representative Bryan and in- troduced to the President, receiving a cordial greeting. | | | | THE PRESIDENT'S JOKE. A little incident occurred which afforded some amusement to a group of onlookers. The President was passing hastily through one of the corridors when Representhtive Dalzell of Pennsylvania said, **Good morning, Mr. Presi- dent,” and then added, “You don’t recognize me, do you?” “Not at this moment,” said Mr. Cleveland, started to on, ‘Dalzell of Pennsylvania,” said the Congress- man, by way of oduction, The President stopped and looked really pained. He knows Dalzeil of Pennsylvania as any man in Congress, and the thought that he was about to pass him without recog- nition seemed to strike him with force. He took him by the hand and seemed embar- rassed for a second.when he smiled and leaning over whispered a joke in the Congressman’s ear, which caused that gentleman to laugh loudly, the President joining in a hearty man- joke,” the President ad , ‘but’ from Mr. MORE CONGRESSMEX. Congressman Springer of Illinois, accom- panied by John Culbertson, editor of the Dela- van Advertiser; William Edgar Morrison, a cousin of William R, Morrison of Morrisonville, and Dr. G. A.

Mr. Hemphill called merely to pay his respects. Senator Jones of Arkansas, with a delegation of visitors who are not office seekers, called and presented his friends the President, who gave them a cordial greeting. Mr. Daniel McConville of Ohio,who was sixth auditor in Mr. Cleveland's former administra- tion, dropped in for a few moments’ chat. THE PENSION ComMISSIONERSHIP. A Michigan man who passed through the cor- ridor said to a Stanreporter that ex-Represent- ative Wheeler of that state will be urged by the Michigan delegation in Congress for ap- pointment as commisrioner of pensions. He has a good record and it is claimed that his ap- ee would be acceptable to Michigan- ers. : However, Mr. Wheeler is not alone in this ambition. Mr. H. C. McLean of Terre Haute, Ind., has the same desire.and Col. the mayor of Fort Wayne, Ind., a Grand Army magnate, is out for the position of deputy com- | missioner. About noon, when the pressure of official | callers had somewhat slackened, the President | went down to the east room to receive a line of visitors who had formed with the hope of get- | ting sight of him. He shook hands with each comer, and made each person feel that the smile of greeting was especially for him or her.
