WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me.,says, in a letter recently received: “It wives me pleasure to speak from personal knowlede of the wonderful cure, by the use of AYER'S Sarsa- Parilla, of abad humor ina child eleven years old. The child's hands, arms, feet and legs were covered with blotches and scabs, resisting all local applica- tions. Very soon after taking AYER'S Sarsaparilla the humor disappesred, the eure being complete. As ‘blood puritier I consider that AYER'S Sarsapaniia Stands atthe head of the whole catalogue of such Preparations, especially when used in connection with AYER'S Pills.” “There can be no question as to the superiority of AYER’S Sarsaparilla over ali other blood purifiers. If ‘this was not the case the demand for it, stead of in- creasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like so many other blood medicines I could name."—F. L. NICKERSON, Charlestown, Mass.

ANTI-AMERICAN QUTRAGIS IN CHILE. Close of the First Week of the Exposition. ALDERMEN AT FISTICUFFS. ge BETTER FEELING IN THE MARKET ‘There Was n Fall in Sugar, but Other Stocks Commanded Higher Prices, New Yous, May 6—The general run. of active stocks, both railway and industrials, opened strong and anywhere from 14 to 244 per cent higher. Cordage rose from 14 to 213g and then receded to 20. In the first ten minutes, however, sugar, which had opened at 81, fell to 7734, and this checked the rising tendency. At 10:15a.m, the market was weak in tone, but business was not specially active, and the excitement did uot touch the high pitch reached on Thursday or Friday. Tho stock exchange during the first hour of business presented a striking contrast with the excitement and panicky fecling that pre- vailed yesterday, While the dealings were larger than the average they were comparatively small as compared with yesterday and the fiuctua- tions were far less violent, After a rise of 3¢ to 314 points at the opening, the latter in sugar preferred, a disposition to sell was manifested anda sharp reaction en- sued. General electric ran off from 8035 to 59, Chicago gas from 74 to 61k, Manhattan” from 129 to 126, Rock Island from 783, to 76, sugar from 81 to 7734, referred from 88%{ ‘to 811g, Western Union from 853¢ to 84, national cordage from 213¢ to 19, national lead from 34 to 32 and Missouri Pacitic from 424; to 4114. After 10:30 a change for the better set in, and higher prices than before were recorded. Rub- ber preferred rose 7 to 47; general electric 4 to 83; and there was an improvement other- wise of !ga2ig¢ per cent. The reduction in the posted rates of exchange to 485'y and 4882, and the absence of failures had a good effect on the market. At 11 o'clock specula- tion was comparatively firm, THE MARKET CLOSED QUIET AND FIRM. Stocks mude a further advance in conse- quence of the favorable character of the bank statement, but later cased off, triula” were relatively firmer than the railway and showed net gains for the day of 1a134 points, the latter in American tobacco. The dealings were quite moderate und there was an entire abrence of excitement. The market closed quiet and firm.

Lending men express themselves as more bull- ish on the situation and the following remarks of Russell Sage are the views generally held in influential qnarte Mr. Sage said: “I would not advise indiscrim- inate purchases, but good stocks may be picked up now xnd heid. It takes less money to carry Manhattan than it did when it sold Western Union looks cheaper than Lackawanna below 140 is not dear, and the industrials, the menace to the markets, and the ones’ that have caused the depres- sion, are now on a basis more representative of their intrinsic value. Iam not an uncondi- ticnal bull, but I think that rales of short stock wili uot be productive of profits.” The temper of the market, taken altogether, is less feverish, and commission houses report a better inquiry from investors. SYMPATHY FOR MR, WurTs. 8. V. White was on the floor of the stock ox- change a little before 10 o'clock this morn- ing and received many expressions of sym- pathy. This morning all those who had stock exchange clearing honse contracts in American sugar with Mr. White which did not go through the clearing house were assessed $17 per hundred shares, ‘The umount of such con- tracts was 8,00 shares. This shows the exact Jona which was made on his sugar deal yester- jay. The following securities were sold out “under the rule" at the stock exchange this morning: 200 «hares of Ameri Norfolk and Western preferred ge. In railway bonds, $7, Reading first preferred ‘incomes, #2000 Brooklyn elevated first, $1000 North Missouri first, 21,000 Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg con- sol and $1,000 Tennessee coal and iron firsts, Tennessee division, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE. Atthe office of Mr. White it was stated | at noon today that his affairs are in better shape than was thought yesterday and that he will resume in @ few days. The report that the Havemeyers and others had offered to put Mr. White on his fect was denied. No offers of outside assistance have been re- ceived, and it is said none will be needed. Mr. White said: “I am not badly off at all. If @ man is strack by a runaway team he may hase an arm broken or his back broken. In my case it is not, in my judgment, going to be any worse than’ a bad bruise. Any man connected with the business will appreciate that. borrowing as I was millions of dollars with a drop of $23 per share in twenty-three inutes on some of the securities I was carry- ing, it was perfectly evident that calls would be made for margins greater than I could respond to on the instant, and it was my duty under the laws of the stock exchange, to promptly notify them of the fact. I did it, and did not know how bad the storm waa gong to be. As it appears this morning things are not looking at all serious for permanent invest- ments,” ———— ALDERMEN COME TO BLOWS.

Sunshiny Weather and Mi Draw the Peop! Cuicaco, May 6.—There was a large early attendance at the exposition today, due ina measure to the bright sunshine, the extra at- tractions for today, including the official visit of the foreign naval commanders, the numerous concerts, the opening of the Missouri building, and the expectation among many strangers that President Palmer's reception to tie Duke of Veragua in the ad- ministration building and the first electrical illumination of the exposition would take place tonight. ‘There were general expressions of disappoint- ment when it wax learned that the illumination could not be inaugurated until Monday. The display of flags from the different build- ings this morning was magnigcent. Each structure was adorned with from 50 to 100 flag poles, from each one of which was un- furled a flag or banner. The colors of all nations were shown with a bewildering profusion and added greatly to the general appearance of the frounds and buildings. The administration uilding, was the only exception. On this grand structure only the American flag was shown. Abont 100 poles, each orcupying ® prominent place, adorned the building, from which’ floated flags of various sizes, but all American. Surrounding the building the five great tall flagstaffs have been finished aud are receiving a base work of staff. From :he tip of each listens a wreath which is pinnacled by a golden model of a Columbus caravel. The lust of these caravels was placed in position this morning and two of the poles bear the banner of Castile and Leon. The others are graced by immense American flags. UNINVITING RESTAURANTS. In one respect there is a noticeable difference between the Paris and Columbian expositions favor of the former. Europeans dearly love to spend some of their leisure time in cafes, where they can eat, drink, chat and be merry in parties or in pairs, They want to be surrounded with these material things as well as creations which appeal to the esthetic souls. But at present there is an absence of these necesxary adjuncts to European life and luxury. Certainly there are buildings in course of erection and others finiched which are intended to be used as cafes of various na- tionalities, but none are to be seen in opera- tion, and the European within the gates of the exposition sadly misses even the sight of a pretty, enticing cafe filled witha gay assem- lage and good cheer. ‘The restaurants already open are inconve- niently situated and by no means attractive und the first impression a European visitor receives when he walks past or through =the ~— great building is that he is expected to confine himself to a feast of art and a flow of soul to the exclusion of his physical desires. Still there is evidence that the exposition directors have made am}le Provision for cafes on the European plan, but they will be late in materializing. THE FIRST WEEK OF THE FAIR. The first week of the fair closes with a con- tinuation of the cold and windy veather, aivhongh the rain that has fallen during exposition hours hax not been sufficient to interfere wiah the visitors’ enjoyment of the rildings und exhii fhe main avenues and promenades are in excellent condition and with arise in the temperature next week the Attractions fair will be fairly Jaunched on the wave of success, The attendance dur- ing the week outside the open= ing day has been as large as the exposition of cials hoped for, considering the uninviting | weather, and if the operating expenses are not balanced by the receipts they will not com- plain, THE LAST OF THE EXHIBITS. The end of next week will probably sce the last car of exhibits in tue grounds although it is not expected the installation and work on some foreign and state buildings will be finished within the next two weeks. Electricity, mines, fisheries manufact- revs and agriculture buildings are full of busy workman erecting pavilions and installing ex- hibits, but the mining and inanufacturing ex- hibits will al! be in place next week, and the present state of installation in those buildings satisfies the most expectant and exacting vis- itor. | He gets far more for his money than be ete the fine arts building and its contents promise to be the gem of the exposition both* from an architectural and an art standpoint. The salons so far opened to the public are filled all day with lovers of paint- ings and sculpture. The American who cannot afford to visit London or Paris will never again have the opportunity which is pre-ented at the expomition of seeing such a perfect and large exhibition of the fine arts represcutative of ail xchools and alll nati ms who know what art is. > BY CHILEANS. REPORTED OUT! An American Surveyor Sald to H Killed and His Fiag Torn Up. Saw Fraxcteco, May 8,—A letter from Chile, received here, tells of the killing of Frank Mathewson, an American railrond surveyor, by a mob of Chilean half-breeds near Con- cepcion. Mathewson and another man named James Jerome were employed to survey @ railroad into the interior. ‘The natives showed much hostility when it was learned they were Ameri- cans, and the men were warned that their lives were in danger. Next day they started back for Concepcion and were ambushed on the road by natives, whoattacked them with knives. ‘The Americans dezended them#elves with Ti but Mathewson was quickly cat down killed, Been HoW JEROME ESCAPED. Jerome thinks he would have met the eame fate had not Dalaro.a Peruvian, and several He wax badly wounded as it was. Jerome sent word by a native to the nearest telegraph strtion, but the dispatch was never tranemi:ted, Next day the cabin which had been ocenpied by the Americans was broken into by a band of natives, who «tole everything.

New York, May 6.—Tbree Chinamen who have Violated the Chinese exclusion act by fail- ing to register within the past year, as required by the law, walked into United States Marshal Jacobus’ office this morning and were placed under arrest. Their names are Wong Quan, Lee Goe and Fong Yue Sing. They surrendered themselves by advice of eminent lawyers, in order to test the constitu- tionality of the Chinese exclusion act. Quan and Goe were taken before United States Dis- trict Judge Addison Brown, while the case of Fong Yue Si brought before United States Cire . he case of Wong Quan was first called. The lawyers present for the Chinamen were Jose; h ‘hoate, J. Hubley Achton, Maxwell E: and ‘Thomas Riordan. ‘The latter is the counsel for the powerful Chinexe Six Companies of San | Francisco, which is defraying all the expenses | of the test cases. Mr. Riordan came here from San Francisco two weeks ago. ‘The United States district attorney appeared | to prosecute. ‘Through an interpreter Wong Quan said he wasa laborer; that ho was a resident of the | United States on May 5, 1892, when the Geary act became a law, and thit he had not applied for a certificate of residence as re- | mired by the Jaw, nor even troubled himself about it, For not doing so he had no excuse to offer. The lawyers for the Chinese appeared as anxious as the di-trict attorne; law, und Judge Brown remanded him to the ported to China. Lee Goe's case was then called. It differed from Wong Quan’s case, inasmuch as his law- yers said he was without the necessary certifi- cate through “unavoidable canse,” but was not able to prove Ko, nor was he able to prove that | he was in the country on May 5, 1892, as the law requires. parce Tue immense hail constructed over the Northern Liberty market is to be lighted and | thrown open for public inspection this evening, to have Mr, | Wong Quan adjudged guilty of violating the | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Henry Clews’ “Weekly Financial Review,” issued today, says: At last the accumulated elements of distrust have culminated in a crisis on the stock ex- change. It could hardly have been otherwise. The steady drain of gold from the treasury and the banks, extending persistently over the last four months, was, apart from other adverse in- fluences, sufficient to strain severely the ability of speculative holders of stocks to carry their loads. That strain har been borne,with compara- tively little yielding, through a’ reduction of some €45.000,000 in’ the loans of the associated banks, which has been an «vidence of the in- | trinsic strength of the market; but. in the ab- sence of any signs of immediate relief of the | inthe way of appointments were whispered | the afternoon of the 4th of pressure, te banks and the holders of stocks | into the President's ear.
