FHE SALOON ELEMENT KICKING. Many Compliments Being Passed On Van Wyck's Latest Speech—The Benteen Court Martial Finding Approved. Under the Ban of Blue Laws. ASHINGTON, April 16.—~[Special Tele- gram to the Bre|—To-morrow 18 expected tobe the most perfectly observed Sunday known in Washington for the past two score ‘I'he blue laws are to be enforced and ‘nest. Every article sold for a profit, excepting medieines, plain meals and news- papers, cannot be dealt in between 12 o'clock to-night and tho same hour to-morrow night. FEven newspapers cannot be sold on the streets after 1 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. Every restaurant, cafe, boarding place and hotel with bar attachment must be closed on Bunday. Only ice and milk wagons can be operated. Thero is bitter protesting by the drinking classes, but the great body of peo- ple are supporting the district commissioners in this work, although many smile that the roform is begun by the demoeratic adminis- tration* *‘Liquid provender” is being laid in to-night by those who **lush,” people carry- it home by the armful or basketful. Beer wazons supplied many homes to-day for the first time. The saloon elements declare they ‘will have the strcet cars and all public con- veyances stopped on Sundays, and they shall retaliate in every conceivable manner, and thatthe Sunday laws, including not only the old blue laws, but the almost absolete Mary- land laws, enacted in the 18th century, will be enforced all the same and Washington will have Christian as well as Jeffersonian Sabbaths. COMPLIMENTARY TO VAN WYCK. A great deal of very complimer ment has been made upon General Wyck’s remarks at the meeting last Thurs- day night which protested against the Irish coercion bill pending fn thoe British parlia- ment. The friends of Ireland and her causo sy it was just the thing. ‘The Star of this city, referring to the mecting, says: “The great speeches of the oceasion wero those of Senator Van Wyck and General Sheridan, which were received with the wildest ap- plause. Italso citesas showing General Van Wyck's popularity with Ircland’s sympa- thizers the f: that when he stepped for- ward it the ting, ‘‘he was received with reat enthusiasm,” and his remarks were in- rrupted constantly by applause. CLEVELAND FOR RENOMINATION, f There is much discussion here recarding the president’s candidacy for renomination. ‘There are many who assert that Cleveland will seek renomination and that plans are al- ready being arranged by Lamont and other trusted friends to bring about such a result. Other friends of “the president are r).fllll\'o in their nssertions that Jleveland will not seek renomination and that he has written a lctter to that effect. 1t is declared that Dorshimer, editor of the New York Star, has now in his possession letters In which the president says he will not be & candidate; that he was the first man to lead the party tosuccess in many vears: that he recognizes the fact that he has not satisficd many ot the leaders in the party and that he has no desire to be the first man to lead the party to deofeat. The correspondent’s informant says that this letter has been in the hands of Dors- heimer for some time and that the latter has instruotions to make the contents of the same known when, 1n his opinion, the proper time has come for s¢ doing. The president feels that his administration will satisfy the coun- try, but recognized the fact that the political leaders of his own party are against him and that it is doubtful whether he could secure the nomination, and that even shounld e succeed it would be' after @ bitter fight, ‘which would leave the party in such a di- vided condition as to render success almost fmpossible. Few of the leading democratic papers are supporting him and he can now only hope to have a voice in naning his suc- cessor, NEBRASKA AND IOWA PENSIONS, TPensions were issued for Nebraskans to-day as follows: W C.

Galloupe found that the machine was only to be reached by going down asort of ladder through a dark scuttle-hole. When le started to go down a voice, from below shamply ordered him to keep away. “I'm a Upited States officer, and I have a writ to seryo here,” was Gal- loupe's explanation. *I don’t care who you aro; if you try to come dows here LIl shoot you," was the rather startlitg response. ‘The marshal had gone down enly two or three steps when ~ a bullet whi him. Galioupe came out rather than he went down and bzan to y “'See here my man, 1 have Ll _authority to place an attichment here, and your resis- tanco will only get you intotrouble. If you don’t believe me come up and examing ‘the writ.” The only response was a renewal of the first threat.” As Gallotpe made another dash for the hole a secon hot came so promptly from below that I wisely retreated and began further nezotiathn. He declared that Le would remain on guard until the man below surrendered, if if took all summer, Finally Ruberg came up, and while reading the writ was seized by Gelloupe and dis- armed. He was taken ™ down town and ar- raigned before Commissionr Hallet on the arze of felonious assaut on a United States officer.

WEEELY BUSINESS REVIEW Transactions in Monetary Oiroles Attracts Much More Attention, BANKERS PRESSED FOR FAVORS Foreign Exchange in Moderate Sup- ply With aFalrly Active Demand & —Activity in the Leading Produce Markets, Ihe Week in the Commercial World. Crrcaao, Avril 16.—|Special Telegram to the Berk.]—Finaneial affairs haye at- tracted more attentlon during the past we and business in monetary circles has beeu more active, Bankers have been pressed for favors by parties in various branches of busi- ness, and while they have a fair surplus of funds on hand, they have been compelled to refuse some paper, which has been presented. Some bankers were unwilling to center their funds in a fow hands, and gave their own customers praference, even when only small amounts wera wanted. Speculators were (uite anxious borrowers, and in some cases asked for round sums. In most cases they succeeded in obtaining the favors they re- quested, but some round lots of grain were placed in the hands of outside partics as security for temporary loans. Rather free calling of margins on May con- tracts for grain and provisions, has stimulated the local demand for money. Packers, while not borrowers to a great ex- tent, are a little backward In payments of former loans, as they have been carrying thelr property for delivery on contracts next month. Shippers of grain and provisions ask for very few favors, and their demands aro generally for small amounts. Lumber dealers require some little assistance at this season of the year, and they obtain all the favors they require. The demand from the interior for money was quite active and more currency was forwarded to the country than for some weeks past. There was some inquiry for loans from parties at other large western markets tor the purpose of carrying grain, but bankers generally refused to ac- copt such paper. Wholesale merchants are borrowing very little money at present. ‘Their trade Is quite brisk for this season of the year, but the greater proportion of it is from near-by points. Rates of interest are well maintained—rather stronger than last week. Call loans are firm at 0@oig per cent and time loans 61¢@s per cent, ac- cording to the standing of the borrower and the amount of the money desired. Some paper was accepted on the street at 6@3 ver cent for good names, ern money Imar- kets are reported rather firm, with a little more pressure for loans, though interest rates are without material change, Foreign money markets are easy, the demand for money being light. Discount_rates are more favorable to borrowers. New York exchange was in lighter s DD]P and the demand was a trifle more active. The light shipments of grain and provisions have curtailed the of- forings of shippers’ bills. The market ruled stronger and rates were considerably higher. Sales” were made between banks at par at cents premium per $1,000, and the wmarkets closed steady at 25 cents premium. Foreign exchange was in moderate supply and the demand was fairly Shippers' sixty day doou- ills were stronger and sold at (@4.531¢, and closed steady at $4.83%(@ T'he New York stock market atiracted siderable atiention during the week Just closed and trading was quite active, The earnings of all the prineipal roads exhibited 8 good increase compared with the business ono year ago, and the stock market displayed rome strencth, ‘T'be prices of leading vroper- ties were generally higher, though extremno figures were not maintained, specialties, Wall street operators were more liberal traders, and foreign operators pur- chased with moro freedom than usual. cago oporators traded rather sparin attention being attracted to aifai home. American irities were stronger in foreign markets and sold_at_ his Sales on the New Y stock e the week were 2,192,000 shares, was quite active at irregular early in the week owing to a more mand froi *'shorts.,” Later a more qnict feeling prevailed, though the market ex- hibited considerable steadiness. Sales on the New York petroleum exchange agarozatod 7,650,000 barrels. Opening sales were made at 6444 cents sold at 04@i0'y cents, and closed steady at 6415 conts. The leading pro marlkets have exhibited considerable activity during the past week, but it was almost ex- clusxva]{ on speculative account. As May approaches more interest centers in leading graln and provisions and operators, while not trading very liberally, are watching the course of events very' anxiously . and preparing to make quick changes should any disclosures be made. For several months trading has been heavy for delivery during May, and now as that month approaches parties are anxlous to learn the result of all his speculative trading. Of course “all are atsea” except those who are directly inter- ested 1n large transactions and they are con- fined to a select few. The bulk of trading at present 18 in near deliveries for small proiits or losses, or in more deferred deliveries. Operators are exercising consid- erable caution, both for their customers and themselves, and are unwilling to be placed in & position where they cannot extricate then- selves on very short mnotice. Prices have ruled somewhat irregular, ruling higher for some articles and easier for others. Trading on shivping account was light, orders from distributing markets being smalldr than usual. The r(‘t‘eelg 8 of grain were smaller, as was anticipated when the inter-state com- merce law went into effect. 1n vrovisions little more strength was manifested, due in a measure tothe report of the decreased supply of hogs In the monthly statement of the dé- partment of agriculture. Packing in the west I8 progressing fayorably and receipts of hogs are enlarging. Stocks ot erain are not diminishing to any extent, and supplies of provisions show little change. —-——-— The Rahway Mystery Solved. New Yorg, April 16.—To-morrow’s World will have a long account of the unraveling of the Rahway mystery as made by its repor- ters.

No ad- equate Idea can be conveyed in words of the scene of ruin and destruction where the tor- nado struck, The streets are strown with wreckage and In some places the roads were for a time impassible with broken trees, prostrated telegraph poles, wires and fences. ‘There was a rush of sight scers to St. Clairs= ville to-day. elezraph communication being cut off, there was great anxiety to learn how bad the situation of aflairs was.

A large matinee audience witnessed the production of *Sho Stoops to Conquer” at the Boyd yesterday, Mr. I Tony Lampkin and Mr. Crane as Hardcastle. ‘The effort of the latter was both painstaking and successful. Ot that of Mr, Robson, the same may not be said. It was entertaining but not satisfactory.

The drew an immense house. At times it seemed difficult which to admire the more, the genius which designed the piece or the skill of the zentlemen who were engaved in representing it. The stars were admirably sustalned, though the ballet, vocal and instrumental music and mnondescript supers, might well have been omitted. The scenery differed entirely from that shown when Jast the piece was produced here, and most of it was excellent. JEAN BAUREIS' BENEFIT TO-NIGHT.

THEJUDGE LAYS DOWN THE LAW A Very Voluminous Charge, Occupy’ ing One Hour and Twenty Min. utes—The Resalt Awaited With Great Intercst, The Haddock Jury Retires. St1ovx Ciry, Ia, April 16,—Hon. M. D, O'Connell concluded his argument before the grand jury in the Haddo.ck case at about §p. m* tollay, and after a short rocess Judgo Lowis began with his instructions, which took until 4:30, at which time the jury re- tired. There s much speculation as to what the verdict will be, and ftis awaited with much interest. The trial began March 23 and has lasted twenty-four full days, The instructions of Judzo Lewis tothe fury are quite voluminous. The reading of them occnpied one hour and twenty minutes, The ' proliminaty Instructions deiino . the di 3 of murder in the state of lowa, ac- cording to which, murder in the first degreo consists of wilful, deliberate, premeditated killing, or killing by .person, or lying in wait. "The judie instructed the firy that under the indictment for murder in the first degree o - verdict for In- ferfor degrees could be found, as even & verdict for simple assault, The vital point of the {nstruction, however, was that relatingl to the question of conspiraey, upon which question the great battle of the case was fought, and the court instructed the jury that the question of the existence of conspiracy was one properly ralsed under tho indictment for murder, and it isa question of fact for the jury to decide, and if tho Jury shall find that ‘theére was a conspiracy to kill Haddock and the defendant was one of the parties to it, them the court instructs that he may be found Emln' of murder n the first degrees, even t uuu?) he did not \imself tire the fatalshot and even though he were not present when the shot was Lired If the jury shall find that there was a con- slm.\c) 0 assault and do bodily injury to Haddock and the defendant was & party to the conspitacy, and if in carrying ont the un- lawful attempt, Haddock was killed, thougn not originally intended todo so, then the court instructs that the defendant may be found guilty of murder. When the jury shall find that there was a conspiracy” to either to k!l or assault Haddock, thén all the declarations aud acts of all tho parties to the conspiracy in pursuance thereof, although not in the presence of the defendant, were to bo eonsidered as a proper defense for the de- e for the consideration of the jury. In T d to the defense of an alibi the court fn- structed that it was one t‘n‘llg' manufactured and that it must be supported by a preponder- ance of the evidence and the evidence in sup~ port of it is to be consldered with caution. The sensational feature of the _charge was that in which the court alluded to one member of the jury. From the first of the trial said member had showed a stubborn dispositisn aud a determination not to con- sider or study the cvidence. The court said he had never before seen in the jury box so flagrant a violation of the duty of a juryman, and he added that the juryman to ‘whom he referred was mnot Adalr, -in regard to whose conduct outside of the court room criticism had been made {n the public prints. ‘The court expressed the hope that the juryman whom ho had re- buked would dispose himself to a better when the jury retired to its room. At ock to-niglit the jury had not returned from its room, and there 'is no prospect of hearing from it to-night.
