Prices Earily Tarned by Purchases or Salen. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Today’s market lacked both snap and energy. The opeuing was strong at an advance of 1-4 to 11-2 per cent, but immediately lapsed into dullness and irregularity. London was a trifle higher, and as yester- day had some selling orders on this side. Two thousand St. Paul were sold in the first five minutes for foreign accouat on reports of continued decrease in earnings and certain vague rumors in regard to next month's dividend. The visible supply of buying orders seems to have been pretty well exhausted, and the shorts were not at all anxious about their ‘The room continues loyal to the reactionary theory, and is con- to come soon and suddenly, After the first hour business came almos: to a standstill, and though dull and lower there were no evidences of weakness. The acknowledged scarcity of stocks makes it impossible to buy even an average amount | without causing a sharp advance in pric: At the same time, any attempt at -ea! ing turns the course of speculation down- ward, which proceeding has thus far been checked by the timely appearance of pur- chasing orders or news of a favorable char- acter. The street grows daily more impatient over the Senate's delay, and anxiously awaits the termination of this long pa- renthesis that intervenes between the ac- tion of the House and the presidential »'g- nature. This question once disposed of at- tention can be given to less evils and the process of reconstruction go on urfinter- ruptedly. Manhattan directors declared the regular quarterly dividend of 11-2 per cent, an] the executive committee of the Western ‘'nion ‘Telegraph Company met today“and recom- mended the usual dividend of 11-4 per cent | on the stock that company. ‘The loan committee canceled $200,000 ad- ditional certificates, and announced that 50 per cent of today’s balances at the cieur- ing house were paid in cash. The total amount of the exchanges was $51,117.05; balances, $4,074,189, and the subtreasu’ debit balance, $433,367. Manhattan pped back to 1311-4. a loss of 13-4 from the opening. New England continues strong on inside buying and sold up to 261-2, a gain of 13-8 over closing fig- ures. Western Union declined to % 3-8 and Bur- lington to %, a joss of one point for each. Chicago Gas lost per cent to 60, and Sui advanced 11-4 per cent during the morning and lost it all later in the day. At 2:30 the*ma-ket looked top-heavy and tired and developed a downward tendency that soon resulted in the curtailment of earlier profits. POLITICS IN IT. The Silver Repeal Bill and Its Chances. ee THE PROGRAM INTHE SENATE. The Administration Not Inclined to Compromise. FEDERAL ELECTION LAW. Some of the earnest advocates of the re- peal of the Sherman law are still insisting that the repeal of the federal election liw should not be considered at this time, fear- ing, as they do, that it will give offense to the republicans. In fact, quite an active effort is being made to prevent the federal election question from coming up, and it Is understood that the administration greatly opposed to it. ‘There are a great many rumors on the subject going about, and there ts much talk and feeling in the matter. At the same time, there is no reason to doubt that the federal election question will be taken up by the House, and that there will be quite a prolonged discussion of it. Some demo- crats who are earnest enough in their sup- port of the Voorhees bill are liable to be xiven offense by any effort to postpone all other sorts of legislation in order vo aid that bill through in the Senate. What Southern Silver Men Say. Silver men in the south who are willing to sacrifice silver to the policy of the ad- | ministration say that it is going a little too far when they are asked to give up other things not relating to finances which the party is pledged to do, and which their constituents have a right to expect them to do. They ridicule the idea of the action of the Senate on the Voorhees bill being in any way Influenced by the consideration of the federal election matter in the House, and say that it is an unworthy assump- tion that this would be so, and a cowardly attitude for the democrats to take to be afraid to do those things which have been regarded as essential, merely from a fear that It might not please the republicans. They say that It is not to be supposed that the republicans would be gratified at On the London Market. LONDON, Sept. 12—Money today was | cheaper, and discount 2 1-2 per cent.

They further suggest that the same objection might be raised to the consideration of the | tariff question, as it will undoubtedly of- fend the republicans to have the McKinley bill repealed and replaced by a general | tariff bil which {fs not a protective meas- | ure. They feel that the House has done | its duty to the administration in passing the bill by a tremendous majority, which should affect the Senate, if any ction on the part of the House can, and that now they should be free to go on with other leg- islation which they must dispose of. The time between now and the opening of the next congressional campaign Is none too long for laws to be made and tested before the country by their application so as to be considered and passed upon in- telligently by the people at the election next fall. There is a very strong element | in Congress holding that all the Important legislation concerning which there was an issue at the last election should be dis- posed of by both houses by early next win- ter. To do this it would be necessary to go ahead with the work now just as tt would be handled at any regular session of Con- gress. Program in the Senate. ‘The silver men in the Senate appear to have got their second wind and have talked themselves into a determination to fight, as Mr. Pugh says, as long as they are able to stand or utter a syllable.

The managers on the part of the adminis ation forces, however, do not admit that “they have lost any ground or that there 1s any special reason of being apprehensive that the Voorhees bill will not pass in time, ‘They say that they have not contemplated making any move toward forcing a vote before the i8th at the earliest or more Mke- ly the 25th of this month.

The reorganization of the United States military service in foreign capitals has begun by the detail of First Lieut. J. 1. H. Peshine of the thirteenth ‘nfantry as mill: tary attache of the United States legation at Madrid. This has never before been a separate detail. It was formerly part of the territory of the silitary attache at Vienna. Lieut. Peshine’s iast service was with his regiment in the Indian territory, so that the change will ge a great one to him. Major Post, the military attache at London, and Major Hine, the military at- tache at Vienna, have completed their four years’ detail and will come home about, the Ast of October. Their succeszors have not yet been selected, but the maiter Is now under consideration at the War Depart- ment. ————+e+____ Silver Purchases. Of the 236,000 ounces of silver offered yes- terday the owners accepted the counter of- fer of $7540 per ounce by the treas. ury for 190,000.

A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Press says: Beadling, a mining station fourteen miles from this city, on the Pitts- burg, Chartiers and Youghiogheny railroad, was the scene during last night until day- light of the worst riot in this section since the Homestead affair. One hundred and fifty striking atalian miners took possession of the hamlet and created terror from sunset until morning. ‘They were armed with shotguns, revolvers and pleces of iron, and a bloody battle was averted only by the cool, hard work on the part of the Beadling Brothers, who own the mine. Fighting Against Discharge. The firm decided last week to get rid of all the foreigners and to employ native miners. Notices were posted on Satur: to the effect that the Italians would be paid | in full tf they would give up their tools. | The notice caused a sensation among the Italians, and it had not been up more than an hour until they had decided to fight for work. They conducted their operations secretly, and by last night every man was armed. At 8 o'clock word was received at the company’s store that the Italians had tined up at the mines and were preparing to march to the store. William Beadling, a defend the company’s property. Summon- ing six men upon whom he could depend to and furnished a Winchester rifle for each one. An hour later the Italians arrived and opened fire. All the windows in the front of the store were broken, but none of the men inside were hurt. Beadling had his men behind a barricade of oll barrels in front of the building, und then ordered the men to return the ‘ire of the rioters. About 300 shots were exchans- ed, but the mob scattered upon finding that the company’s men were very much in earnest. If any of the Italians were hurt they were cared for by their companton as no one was left on the fleld. The re- sistance made at the store did not discour- age the Italians, for they continued to march on the roads until 4 o'clock this morning. During the night they went to the house of one of the company’s employes, a man named Flacker, and shot through the win- dow. About 3 o'clock, as a man was pass- ing a house in which a number of the Ital. fans boarded, a second story window opened and three shots were fired at nim, but none of them took effect. At 4 o'clock, or as soon as they could see, the men who were besieged made a charge out of the store across the little bridge over a small creek, and the Italians, after firing several parting shots, were finally routed. There were 150 of them, and thev were divided into three parties. They made an effort to come together as the men rushed upon them, but the determined stand made the day, and the Italians fled. One of the Beadling Brothers went to MansfieJd, five miles below, and swore out | warrants before ‘Squire McCready for the | arrest of thirty of the Italians for riot and disorderly assemblage. A posse returned | with him, and three of the ringleaders were | captured ‘at their homes, After a cha: | two or three miles twenty others were cp- tured and marched back to the company’s store. Others were captured till there were twenty-six in the office, which adjoins the store. These were heavily guarded, and later, in irons, marched to Mansfeld. During the ‘siege there was intense fear among the women of the village. Five Hungarians Shot. Another riot was In progress last evening in a different section. were shot in a pitched battle at the Cliff mines on the Montour railway. None of the men are seriously injured, but further trouble is expected. ‘The Montour railroad is a small coal line running from Imperial, Allegheny county, to Montour junction, P, and Le E., twelve miles below the city. Cliff mines are situ- ated three miles from Imperial. A great many foreigners are employed at the var- fous mines along the road. Sunday ts a gala day, and beer is drunk in great quanti- ties. One of the Hungarians, Kalmak, had just purchased a new watch. A man of an- other faction broke the watch. Kalmak hunted up his friends, and when they Yad armed themselves they started after the crowd which had broken the watch. They found it In the woods near the little mining village, and the battle started. Kalmak and his friends drove the thers away, and began to look after the wounded. One man was shot through the arm, an- | other the others were wounded in the arms and body. No arrests have been imade. : see CONGRESS OF RELIGIONS. A Sight That © Be Seen Only in ‘This Age. The regular proceedings of the parliament of religious were opened auspiciously at Chicago yesterday by an invocation by Cardinal Gibbons and addresses by Presi- dent C. C. Bonney and religious lights from various parts of the world. There was not @ vacant seat in the hall, and the walls were fringed with people standing up when and played a selection preliminary to the procession with which the proceedings were opened. President Bonney in his address of wel- come said they should give thanks for being able to take part in so grand @ congress, one that so fully exemplified peace and progress and which would have so great an influence on the world. The Rev. John Henry Barrows, chairman of the common organization, then addressed the congress. He said had such a congress been undertaken, and not Jong ago it would have been deemed impossible to carry it to successful comple- tion, Cardinal Gibbons had to leave early, so his response to the address of welcome was called for out of its order. He said that though all did not agree on matters of faith, there was one platform on which all were united. This was charity, humanity and benevolence. He said that he could not impress too strongly on every one that each was his brother's keeper. That was the whole the- ory of humanity. If Christ had cried with Cain, “Am IT my brother's keeper?” we would be still walking in darkness. The Rev. Augusta J. Chapin welcomed the congress on behalf of the women. President Higinbotham followed, welcom- ing the delegates to the exposition. He said it was a source of great satisfaction that the new city in a far part of the world | should be accorded the honor of three con- |gresses. They were the greatest honor of the world’s fair year, The archbishop of Zante expressed his thanks for the Invitation which enabled him to take part in the proceedings which he thought would be productive of much good. He prayed the Almighty, he said, for dlessings on the country ahd on the great enterprise. The archbishop's tributes to this country were greeted with enthusias- tie applause. Protop Chunder Mazoombar of India.when introduced, said that that religion was the grandest that Joined all religions.

Why the Assessor Proposed the 10 Per Cent Discount. ce aecninies The proposition of Assessor Trimble to the Commissioners that they ask Congress to al- without penalties, the payment of the half of their taxes due in November until Ma: and to allow a reduction of 10 per cent on all taxes paid in November, will be consia- ered by the Commissioners at the next full meeting of the board. Tax Assessor Trimble is at present in | Chicago, but he is expected to return to | Washington in time to discuss the matter with the Commissioners. Mr. Griffin, the first assistant in the as- | sessor’s office, and one of the board of as- | sessors, in conversation with a Star re- | porter today said: “While I was to a cer- tain extent instrumental in bringing about the proposition which was presented to the Commissioners by Mr. Trimble, I cannot say that I am fully in accord with the en. tire movement as It now stands. For in- stance, {t appears to me that the much bet- ter plan would be to allow an abatement of |5 per cent from each half of the assess- ment. | “That is, if taxpayers saw fit to pay half of their taxes in November and half May, as is customary, why they could be allowed 5 per cent discount on each | payment, and if they preferred to the | whole amount in a lump in either May or | November they should be allowed the re- | duction just the same. I agree with editorial which appeared in The Star some | days since In reference to this subject. as | 1 can’t exactly see where this arrang-ment would prove of so much idvantage as a | means of assisting the Mnancial stringency. |"Those who have money in bank availa- ble would, in order to take advantage of | the 10 per cent discount proposed, draw it out and pay thelr taxes, and tae amoun' | thus taken from the banks ‘would be great er than would be ordinarily | That would, to a certain extent, caus | more stringency among the banking in- | stitutions and the very sbject sought would thus be defeated. The assesament |on property in the District has been de- | creased 3) per cent. It is still too hich, and I am strongly in favor of reducing it at least 23 per cent more. This can be done only by special act of -‘ongress and would involve such a great amount of work as would make it practically tmpos- sible this year. Mr, Trimble realized this when he made his proposition to the Com. nded as a substitute for this plan. st feasible plan, in my estimation, |and 1 have studied them all, is for Con- | gress to extend the time for payment of | taxes until May 1, and then, if the financial | situation has not improved to a very great extent, they can be asked to grant an abate- ment of 10 per cent. ‘The revenues derived from taxation [have not to any very great extent in- creased in the past few years, for the rea- son that the amount of exempted property | 1s largely on the increase. The government 4s continually acquiring property in the District, and church property grows more | Howe of University Heights, has attracted | th and more extensive each year” One of the principal troubles in the way of allowing the November taxes to go over until May arises in the Treasury Depart- | ment. From about the Ist of July until the Ist of November the District government has no money on deposit with the treas- urer, but it is allowed by the controller to overdraw its account and the amount is refunded out of the revenues derived from the payment of November taxes. The con- troller, It is claimed, would hardly be will- ing to take the responsibility of making ad- vances for a period of six months longer, without authorization from Congress. It is, | thought, however, that the Commissioners ‘will take such a decided stand when the | bill is presented to Congress that some jad one of his fingers shot off and legislation will be enacted to obviate these | | difficulties. ‘The clerical force in the assessor's office, | it is claimed is much too small. The clerks have been forced to work night and day for several months. The force has not been [increased since 188, while the work of the | office has since that time increased at least | 40 per cent. | A Perambulating Garbage Furnace. | ‘The Commissioners are In receipt of a let- ter from Mr. E. G. Stggers of 3% F street | northwest, who is on a visit to the world’s fair. He calls their attention to the system of disposing of gurbage now in vogue in Chicago, and suggests that the plan be adopted’ in Washington. The plan while simple in detail seems to Mr. Siggers to be very effective as a means of disposing of the refuse, It {s nothing more nor less than a perambulating garbage crematory. he machine, according to description, outward- ly resembles a boiler eight feet long and | four and a half feet In diameter placed on a | Wagon. It is divided into three compart- | ments, the garbage being consumed by fire | in the middle one, after having been dried to combustion point in the upper chamber. The furnace is fed with kerosene. The | capacity of the furnace, he claims, is some- thing enormous. It devours the vilest and most dangerous kind of garbage as fast as | it Is thrown in. No odor whatever Js emit- | ted from the machine. The cost of a ma- chine is said not to exceed $250. Not an Insurance Company, * The request received by the Commission- lers September 4 from the Union Loan and Investment Company of Washington, D. ¢. asking permission to do business in the District, and which was referred to Attor- ney for the District S. T. Thomas, was re- turned to the Commissioners today with the |endorsement theron that it is not an in- surance company within the meaning of the latute regulating insurance in the Dis- trict. The company was chartered under the laws of West Virginia, July 27, 1893. At St. Elizabeth's.

An order was issued from Engineer Com- missioner Powell's office today for twenty- three brackets to be made at the U street pumping station, to be used in lowering the glectric lights on ith street northwest from Thomas Circle. The electric lights as they are now arranged are on poles ranging in height from fifteen to eighteen feet. The branches of the trees in that locality being much lower than the lights under the pres- ent system, the streets are naturally very much darkened. The brackets ordered are to be five feet in length, and will be on the poles at a uniform height of twelve feet, thus obviating the difficulty and throwing the light on the street. Building Permits. Building permits were granted by the inspector of buildings today as follows: | | west; $700. David Riordan, struct frame dwelling, northeast corner New Jersey avenue and L street worth- west; $200.

Besides these regularly licensed places, Lieut. Amiss of the first precinct thinks there are about seventy-five houses of {l- | fame in which liquor ts sold. None of these | Places are licensed, and the authorities are now considering what is best to do with them. Under the terms of the present law, | the heavy penalties, is is thought, would drive many of the places out of the “Divis- | | fon” and scatter them tn respectable locali- | | ties. This the police are anxious to avoid if possible, for then they say the manner of | conducting the houses would be changed so | (much that to break them up would be a | | difficult task. i “When the fine in Iquor cases was $106," | | said Lieut. Amiss this morning, “the resi- dents of this locality paid $9.00) in fines In year.” As heretofore stated, the question of what is to be done with these | places so far as the sale of Mquor is con- | | cerned has not yet been settled. and until | then the police will probably not interfere \with the proprietresses of the numerous houses of this kind. The erection of the city post office, running as it will along C street, may have some bearing on the |houses on the adjacent squares and it is| more than likely that before the comple- | tion of the building many occupants of the houses on those squares will be driven | westward, as was done along the line of 12th | street several years ago.
