When Wall Street May Expect Fresh Capital. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Bpecial Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The intense dull- hess that has of late characterized specula- tion was emphasiz2d in today’s market and gperations were small and mechanical. Opening quotations were somewhat ir- Fegular with an occasicral improvement of 2-8 to 1-2 per cent. Lordon was lower and @id rothing on this side. The most im- portant of the day's developments was the continued advince in the rate of foreign ex- charge, which resulted in half a million gold being taken for shipment by tomor- fow’s steamers. Tuesday's steamers will take out a million more, and further ship- ments are anticipated. The real cause of the present outward movement of gold is the stiffening up of money rates on the fontinent, especially in Berlin, where 4 1-2 and 5 per cent is freely offered for the tem- Porary use of currercy. Money is a drug in our market and will probably continue to be until the discussion of the tariff has Progressed far enough to give the public .@ome clue as to its probable effect. Traders soid the Grangers on the report of @ecreased traffic in the west, and were suc- €essful in bringing about fractional conces- sions. Kock Isiand lost 1-S per cent to 68} $-8, and St. Paui lost 7-3 per cent to 63 7-8. In the industrial list Distillers was the feature and advanced 2 1-8 per cent on probabilities of a government tax on im- ported spirits at a rate decidedly advan- taeous to that company. Chicago Gas was again taken in hand by its friends and advanced 3-4 per cent to @7 1-2. American Tobacco broke 7 per cent on a sudden spurt of activity during the afternoon to 73. The decline was ascribed to the execution ef stop orders. Sugar was dull and fairly steady on small @ealings. The company {s siid to have been a large purchaser of sterling ex- change, as {t has some sterling loans near- ing maturity that will not be renewed.

The question of the ultimate fate of the bureau of American republics, almost the last remaining vestige of Mr. Blaine’s Pan American policy, is an interesting one. Nothirg can be learned at the State De- partment respecting the policy of the ad- ministration toward the maintenance of the bureau, but it is inferred, in view of the omission from the department's budget of an estimate for its continuance during the Years 1894-1895, that it is the intention to abandon the institution. The first controller has already decided that the bureau is not entitled to charge up the rental of its building to the State De- partment funds, inasmuch as it is not a legal bureau of the State Department. Two or three of the less wealthy of the Ameri- can republics have withdrawn their contri- butions for the joint support of the bureau, alleging simply financial stringency as the reason of their withdrawal and making no complaint as to the management of the bureau. Some of the wealthier republics continue to be well disposed toward the in- stitution. Senhor Mendonca, the Brazilian minister, speaking on the subject, said: “I should be very glad, personally, to know that the bureau was to be continued, and as long as it remains in existence Brazil will contrib- ute her portion of the expense of main- taining it. The bureau has been a great benefit to my country, never more so than m the past few months, and I had in view some plans for execution by the bureau officers intended to still further increase the trade between the United States and Brazil. If the United States fails to pro- vide means for continuing its work, byt on representatives of the other nation: | ested, shall consider that a notice that aa country does not desire itS existence to be prolonged, and, of course, we shall not un- | dertake to keep it alive.” Senfor Mendonca, in response to a ques- tion as to origin of the bureau, said it grew out of the Pan-American conference. “The executive committee of the body,” he sald, “consisted of Secretary Blaine, ‘the Presi- dent, Minister Romero of Mexico and Min- ister Segario of Peru, Cornelius N. Bliss of the United States, and myself. In the course of our discussions as to the best means of making effective and permanent the recommendations of the conference, Mr. Bliss, I think it was, suggested that the tariff of the several nations be printed and published. Mr. Romero, as I remember, then suggested that the work be done by a centrai agency, modeled after the one in | Brussels, which prints and publishes the tariffs of the whole world, and to which all the nations contribute. From that, as a starting point, the scheme which finally comprised the bureau of American repub- lies was developed.” —— PRENDERGAST A NUISANCE. He Imitates Guiteau Disturbing the Business of the Court. CHICAGO, IN., Dec. 8.—Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison, spoke his little set piece again this morning. A venireman was being questioned as to the inSanity phase of the case, when Pren- dergast’s tongue broke loose. “Your honor, your honor,” he explained, repeating the words when he noticed that the judge did not pay any attention to him, “t desire to state that as to whether or not I was sane or insane at the time is not an issue in this case. The court stated yester- day that murder was the unlawful killing of a human being with malice afore- thought.” Attorney Trude, who is practically in charge of the prosecution In the absence of the state’s attorney, complimented the de- fendant on his statutory definition of mur- der. ‘The court said sharply: “Mr. Prender- gast, your attorneys will note all the ob- jections that may enter into the trial of your case.”" —_—>—__. LOBENGULA HUMBLED. The Matabele Chief Wants to Surren- der—His Followers Starving. CAPE TOWN, Africa, Dec. 8.—King Lo- bengula has sent envoys to the British ask- ing that a number of men be sent to meet him. He desires to surrender. Many Matabeles have surrendered. The whole country is quiet. The volunteers will shortly be disbanded. Many of the follow- ers of King Lobengula are dying from smallpox and starvation. —__. MR. GLADSTONE ILL. A Severe Cold Obliges Him to Give Up a Journey. LONDON, Dec. 8.—Mr. Gladstone is se- riously {il His proposed journey to Brigh- ton has consequently been postponed. Dr. Bond, who has »een suddenly called in to attend him. sa: that he is suffering with a severe cold, but that he is as yet unable to state positively whether or not he has in- fluenza. a NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS. Ex-Minister Adams Selected by the Philadelphia Republicans. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8.—Robert Adams, jr., ex-minister to Brazil, was today nom- inated by the republicans of the second district to fill the vacancy in Congress caused by the death of Charles O'Neill. The special election will be held on the 19th instant. Mr. Adams’ nomination ts equivalent to an election. ——— To Repeal the State Bank Tax. ‘The state bank tax subcommittee of the House committee on banking and currency has made a report to the full committee, with a recommendation of a repeal of the state bank tax with limitations. These limit the circulation of the bank notes to the state of issue, unless the banks of issue use notes furnished by the United States treas- ury and subject themselves to inspection by the controller for purposes of public in- formation only. The circulation outstand- ing must not exceed 75 per cent of the capi- tal; they must be a first lien on the assets and subject to an assessment of one-half of 1 per cent. The notes may also circu- late generally upon deposit with the con- troller of state, municipal, etc., securities of par value of notes. The report is prelim- inary as showing what has been outlined so far by the subcommittee. 2+ —______ He is Not a Populist. “I object to being classed as a populist,” said Representative Livingston of Georgia to a Star reporter today. “I am a democrat, and represent a democratic constituency. True, I was president of the farmers’ al- liance in my state, but when I found that the organization was adopting the Populist ideas 1 resigned the presidency. I do be- eve in free silver, but so does Senator Mor- gan and other democrats. I am against the government's ownership of railroads, tele- graphs, &c., which is a part of the populist pees and, in fact, I am not a populist, but a democrat.” + 2+ Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: General land office—Appointment: Ernst Schwartz of Wisconsin, chief clerk, $2,250, vice Michael A. Jacobs, resigned, to take ef- fect December 20. Patent offtice—Appointment: Charles J. O'Neill of Pennsylvania, fourth assistant examiner, $1,200. Pension office—Promotions: John H. Mc- Cormick of Indiana, clerk, $1/ to special examiner, $1,300; Miss Mary E. Terry of Massachusetts,clerk, $1,000 to $1,200. Death: Joseph Limback of Ohio, clerk, $1,800. + Crispi Summoned by the King. ROME, Dec. 8.—Signor Crispi’s visit to Rome is due to a summons he received from King Humbert. He arrived this afternoon and had a conference with the king, who asked him to form a cabinet. Crispi agrees to undertake the task conditionally. It is believed that he will be able to obtain a solid ministry. —_—_. Today's Benning Races. At Benning today the weather was clear. Track sloppy. Attendance good. First race—Six and a half furlongs.
