Beuutiful Ceremonials Observed—Confirma- tion nt Trinity, Services yesterday in the Catholic, Episco- pal and Lutheran churches were somewhat festal in character in commemoration of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalom, which in the church calendar is called Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. Hundreds of devout worshippers were seen on the streets yesterday after church hours, cither carrying or wearing in button holes tho pretty branches of the palm tree, which in thoe olden time wero cast befors tke Lord during his triumphal progress toward the city which was to become famous the world over as the dwelling piace of the Master. Priestly hands had blessed the pelms, and for the day the branches were emblemauo of Passion week, which began with yester- day. The services yesterday at Trinity were varticularly impressive, it being confirma- tion day at the cathearal. ‘Tho chaucel, altar and raredos were beautifully decorated with the spreading branches of the palm, while the choir stalls and pulpit wers ornamented with the pretty evergreen. Rt. Rev. George Wourthington, bishop of Nooraska, officiated at the services, preach- ing the sermon, and was assisted by tho dean of the cathedral, Very Rev. C. H. Gardner. The bishop chose for his text the words, “Who 1s This,”” found in the tenth chapter of St. Mathew and twenty-first verse. The speaker reviewed the momentous events, which began with Christ’s cutry into Jerusa- lom, and pictured finely the storm and stress of Christ's latter days on eavth. After the sermon the bishop confirmed a class of thirty-six persons, admitung them to communion with the church. Tho choir sang with great spirit “‘Les Rameaux” (the Palms), by Faure, arranged for solo and chorns by Dudley Buck. Mr. Jules Lombard’s fine bass was heard to ad- vantage in tho solo, a selection which never grows tiresome. A beautiful benedicite by Foster was also sung by the choir in a manuer swhich left littlo to be desired, also several Gregorian chants, which are always interesting because of their simplicity, yet show great strength in composition. It is & pleasure to hear the choir at Trinity, for their work is always intelligont. ——— SPORTING NEWS. Very Palpable Fake. ALBUQUERQUE, N.

THE KEEN RALLIED THE MARKET Peculiar Condition of Leading Stocks Dur- ing Last Weok. OMAHA HOW THE SHORT INTERESTS WERE SERVED Fallure of the Anticipated Movement to Oceur Earller 1 Much Uneasiness Among a Certain Class of Operat ~Features of the Trade. New York, April 10.—[Spocial Telogram to Tue Bre.|--The rally on the short inter- est duly made its apposrance. It has come and gone. It was a little late, having been expected two wooks ago, and its fallure to come exactly on time made somo people think that- more long stock had been shaken out than was really the caso. But the borrowing demand for stocks showed a tondency to increase rather than diminish avd the points whord the bear posi- alon could be assailed wore thereby indi- cated. ‘Tuo gencral impression 1n the street is that the turn was made by Mr, Keene, ono ofthoso old time seven'day moves in tbe market which recall his operations in the days of its prime, In a narrow and profes- sional market the trading of a single large operator may be distinctly manifest. Ina broad market it would bo lost in the mass, but when publie trading is ata minimum and most of the large operators are doing hittle, then a sudden attack on the market or a rally may often be chargea to one man by the peculiar way in which tho operation is conducted. Tue mental characteristics of the operator distinctly discover themselves, and these characteristics are as dissimilay in differont operators as handwriting. If several mon write the same sentence, although the writ- ten words are the same, every man will write them with distinctive variation of style, and these will be so marked and so constant that if the observer gets onco to know the handwriting he can recognize it. How Oporators Work, In operations in the stock market it is a fact that every one of the_ leading operators who have been known in Wall street for the last ten or fiftoen years hus (or had) a dis- tinet individual style of handling the mar- ket, and when the field happened to be pretty cledar for him his style could be rec- ognized Mr. Gould has a iknown way of driving stocks one way or the other. Mr. Commack’s cavalry charges on a weakening general list are well known, as also the ra- pidity with which he will swing round and rotreat when ho finds that the line will not yield. Mr. Woerishoffer had a thrashing way of going at things which, when he was bearing the market, reminded ono of a man violently swinging a flail. It was asort of all round siaughter., Mr, Keene’s method is ono of rapid movements, quick surprises, vigilant searching of weak points and instant attacks. He has always hud a liking for making short, quick turns in the market, such as that of the 1ast week, which was simply a drive at tho short interest. Just Like Their Handwriting. The difficulty about analyzing these specu- lations aud tracing them to their source is as dificult as learning the handwriting. Once learned it is easy to recognize it again. To make this requirement it is necessary that one should have a chance to watch how the murket acts when you havo persousl knowledge of w’hat a large operator is doing. In other words, you must at some time have seen the actual pulling of the string. Such chances do not occur to every one. Then again, to traco the movements clearly the field must be comparatively clear, for if there are many forces at work the manipuiations of a single operator are most indistinguishable unless he is coutining his efforts to one or two stocks. ‘I'ne favorable time for seeing the handi- work of a single operator is a period of dull- ness liko the present, waen forexample Com- mack or Mr. Keene will yield to mental 1m- pulse and cive the market a twist one way or the other in such a manner as to plamnly sbow their hand to experienced observers. It does not follow, however, that toese short operations are always a financial success 1o tho operator who makes them. They may bo doueat aloss, butthe styleof opera- tion remains tho sawe. During last woek when the veto of the Reading bill by Governor Abbott failed to break the stock because there were larger support orders in the market for it, tho bear position wos greatly weakened, Rending Was the Leading Stock. It was almost a certainty that the market, which had been declining for a week or ten days, would be sharply raliied, since an event which might have been expected to give the bull side of speculation a severe blow, had in fact failed to muke any im- pression. Reading rallied quickly and the rest of the active list (not a broad one, how- ever), followed suit. Saturday there was little doing and such stocks as wero quoted showed a dropping tendency. The rally on the short interest had cul- minated the day before. Thare is one cause for congratulation, the Reading bill is out of the wn{. That bad became a nvisance. Why it should have boen kept as long as it was in the excoutive chamber is 4 mystery, There is nothing in the veto messago which suggests & reason for the pro- longed delay. The suspicion in Wall street is that it was counected with speculation ia the stock. As to the coal combination, for all essential pur- poses that will stand just where it did be- fore. The guestion what Reading is worth is the same now as it was before, what oan the company earn! To aiscover what it can earn under the new conditions and in rela- 10D to the new obligations the company has ussumed, & couple of years at least will be reauired, that is to reach a basis of calcula- tior upon which the future may, with rea- sonabie certainty, bo forecast. Reading stock is likely to continue as one of the most highly speculative in the market. ‘The following nave been indicated as stocks to which a buying movement is tending from various cuuses: Western Union, Cordage common and preferred, Cotton Oil' preferred and Lead preferred. The former sold Satur- day at 90, & prico at which it had not beon nuoted for exactly ton years, The trouble with most of the railroad stock tnat they are aiready selling on about a (1 per cent basis. This is well for the strict iovestor but it gives little margin for bull speculation it them. FOREAGN FINANCIAL REVIEW, Discount Houses Expect That the Bank Rate Will Be Again Lowered.

Tho distribution of divi- aends bas increased the supplies in the money mavket and the abundance is such that at times money is almost unlendable. Discount houses expect that the Bank of Euglaud rate will be again lowered. The silver market continues to attract anxious attention.

On I'riday the price recovered 15 ponce and vostecday onc-eighth, New York having ceased to sell and Iudia having renewed buy- ing.

DAY, APRIL 11, 1892, TRYING T0 CAUSE TROUBLE Ridioulous Reports Being Cabled to London About the United States, APPROACHING A FINANCIAL CRISIS Chili's Statesmen Making Every Bt Regulate the AMairs of the Gove 80 a8 Lo Inspice Confide Exports and Impg [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Benne't.| VaLparatso, Chili (via Galveston, T'ex.), April 10.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Hoerald—Special to Tir Brr.]—United States Admiral Walker sent mo a dispateh today denying in the strongest terms the London Times story that he, Mr. Pitken, the American minister to the Argentine Re- publie, and the Uruguayan minister of for- eign affairs had entered intoa quasi secret agreement by which Uruguay was to pro vido & naval depot for the United Statos, but that failing to secure Libertad sland in Montevideo bay, Walker and Pitkin per suaded the Argentine governmont to enter- tain a proposal for the concossion of land at the mouth of the Rio de La Plata, Ad miral Watker says that the Times story is not only entirely false but utterly ridicu- lous. The financial condition of Chili is causing much comment in the leading journals, Ix change yesterday receded 15d. The prob: ability 1 that it will fall_more, Itis known that the government will have to mect en- gazements in Kurope this year of £500,000, IMurthermore, in the present state of the world's markets, Chilian exports of wheai, copper and silver are of vory littlo import ance. This 1s another eause respousible for the fall of exchange and dec! A factor serving to deféat Chili's exchequer is the largo amount of money remitted monthly to Kuropo to supply wealthy absentes. such as Senor Cousino Claudio Vicuua, the two McKennas and Catapos. The balance ot trade is unequal, Imports Exceed the Exports. ‘The imports aro largely in excess of tho exports and require remittances, as the value of the cxports is so small. There is no doubt that the present and future adminis- trations must grapplo with the problem of curtailing the national expenditure that has assumed proportions far in excess of the country’s noeds. 1 Heraldo in an editorial yesterday advocates cutting off the subsidy 10 the English mail steamers on the ground that thero are five lines now run by Chili. The project of Senor Valdez Vergara to com- pel the payment of export dutics on nitrates by uinety-day bills on Loudon will bo recon- sidered at the coming session of congress. If passed it may prove a solution in part of tho financial question, but so long as members of congress and the government rely for polit- ical” support at clections on national em- ploves on railroads or in other brauches thero 18 little hope for great reform. ‘The railvond scrvice 1s demoralized. Grain and other produce is unable o by moved owing to the luck of cars and the cupidity of ofticors who want to receive a fee before granting applicants wansportation facilities. Senor Edwards, the present minister ot finance, is g1ving his utmost atteation to the rehabilitation of the country’s finances, Unon thne return of Senor Augustine Koss from Europe his advice will be asked. \With o raiso of values of Chili's exports her future will be much brizhter. nteresting Gossip from Chill, German Minister von Trekow was received vosterduy Ly President Montt. Senor Harror Luce has boen appointed ou the council of state, in placa of Carlos Walker Martinez, who rosigned from the office, Dr. Trambull yesterday gave mo a signed statemeut in which he usserts that he has undealable proof thav ono of Unitea States Admiral Brown's officers, on __August 20, 1801, - gave Intondent Vil of Valparaiso the results of the San Francisco's observations at Quintois. Dr. Trumbull claims pubticly that as u resulv of such information this officer is chargeable with being death’s ally at the battle of Placilla, as the military situation of the con- gressional army at the Concor engagement was such that bad no news been given the Balmacedists the battle would never havo taken place. An investigation of the affair is solicited, The government pronoses to erect a monu- ment at Santingo in honor of the victims of the congressionalists. The conservative papers are attacking tho cabinet in regard 1o railroad management. An inspector of the southern division hus been jailed at Concepcion for responsimlityin the vecent railroud accident, 1 which sev* eral persons were killed or wounded. The minister of public works, Riesco, who is an engineer by profession, is giving much con- sideration 1o railroad affairs. IN THE ARGENTINA, Louls fena Chosen President by an Over. whelming Majority. Buexos Avres, Argentina (via Galveston, Tex.), April 10.—|By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tur Be Everything is quiet in the capital this even ing, und so far us can be learned, throughout the entire country. The voting for presi- dential electors who are to choose a successor to Pelligrini was conducted in a peaceful manner. As I have often preaicted, Louis Saenz Pena, the coalition candidate of the Roca Mitre party and all the other parties, with tho exception of radicals, have carried everything before him. Al- though a state of siege was proclaimed ou April2 after the discovery of tho alleged dynamite plot and the arrest of a numoer of radical leaders, 1t was lifted today. The government allowed the radical journals to publish telegrams only after they bhad been subjected 1o the strictést censorshin, i Argentina, u promiuent radical organ of this city, issued a manifesto calling upon all the members of the party to abstain from voting. The coalition or aguendista tivket in consequence met, with no opnosition. Tho polls were gusrded by the police and sol- diers to keep ovier and their presence pre- vented any trouble, Dispatches from the various provinces received here tonight stato that Saenz Peoa’s victory has veen as marked as in Buenos Ayres. Trouble In Brazil, Rio JANEIRO, Brazil (via Galveston, Tex.), April 10. —|By Meaican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tne Ber. |—Presi dent Peixotto issued a manifesto severoly rebuking the recent military pronunciamento 10 which the deposition of Fovernors in some of tho states was condemued, Not satistied with a mere rebuke. bo has caused several of the ofticors siguing it to be dismissed from tho service, Mauy other military wmen have been imprisoned.” General Melo Barreto, who is mixed up in the affair, has rua away to avoid being put in jail. L. —— ATE TOO MANY PILLS, gered Near Death's oisoning. Schuyler, the 10-year-old son B. Schuyler, a waiter in the Boston oyster house, is 1ying close to death's door av bis home, 261 South May street, o victim of s inquisitivenecss snd his penchant for patent wedicines, says the Chicago Tribune, Willie set out for the Skinuer school us usuat Wodnesduy morning. Like all other small boys at this scason of the year he tad a large pocketful of marbles and a strong dislike for study. When he reached Harrison street he ran across @ group of small boys as well equipped as himsel! with warbles and dislikes for educational duties, They soon found @ secluded spot under sheltor from the rein and settled dowu 10 a social gome of “keeps.” Luck went against Willie and be wes scon relieved of his store of mar- bles. la the meantime school had begun ued the small boys started up Harrison street in quest of something 10 8muse them during the forenoon. Before they had gone & great ways they founa what they were lookiug for. Down the streel came & wan with a sack upon his back filied with small yellow envelopes, each eon- taining fourinnocent-looking little white pills and a card, upon which was printed the an noupcement that if presented ata eertain West Harrison drug store a bottle of uerve medicine would ba giveo in exchange free of charge. Wilh Lhe pills and card was & gaudy Ircular, announcing that the little pills wore “the greatost, most unparalled success in the history of medicine, best sellers, not ex- celled, and sure to givo univorsal satisfac. tion. Sure to cure anyihing from fits, spasms, epilopsy, and St. Vitus' dance to lioart diseaso.’’ Willio felt that he was in possession of a sinecuro that woula easily take the place of his lost marbles, and 10 company with his companions he set out to lay in a store of the surprisingly suceessful quack romody. They kept closo behind the man with the sack. Whenever ho stoppod and loft a samplo thoy stole cautiously up to tho doo: pos ay and took sion of the envelope. thoy had a at quan tity —as mauy as they thought they ould use, Then thoy hunted up tho arug store, coshed in the cards and received many bottles of the splendid nerve food, Tuo botties were hard to open and they thought it best to trv tho piils first. ‘Ilicy sat down on the curbstone and commenced 10 doctor themsolves, Tho s tasted good and Willie, not wishing to 10s0 a bargain so un oxpectedly found, ato until he had cou sumed avout 100 of the little peliets. His companions also ate copiously of them, al though they failed to come up to his record But soon 1t camo the pills’ turn, Presently Willio began to feal sick. Ho grew worso and besought his frieuds to tako him home, They also had bocome sick at their stomachs, but thoy made a supreme offort to get their leader back home, Whou they reached the corner of May ana Hurrison streets young iSchuyler fell ‘to the sidewalk in con- vulsions. He was piciced upand carriod into his house, only a fow doors ~ distaut, and br, P. McPherson was called. When the physician arrived ho found tho boy suffering from strychinine poisoning and at tho point of death, = Uhe stomach pump was used and antidotos were freely adminis tored, and finaily after porsistent etfort from 10:30 &, . untal 8 p.m., the boy’s condition changed for the botter. During that time his sufferiugs were terrib The convulsions continued unceasing I'hey muscles contracted, and in his great ngony Willio ground two of his buck tecth it atoms against tho wedge thathad boen in- serted in his mouth to prevent him from bit- g the tubeto the stomach pump. Last night he was prorounced out of immediate dangor, but he is still far from recovery. Examination of the pills showed that oach contained a little loss than onesixtieth of a grain of strychnine, which is considerably less than an ordinary dose. Willia, tiowever, uto enough pills to raise the amount of strych nine to about one grain, enough to kill two boys of his age and constitution. Tn tho meantimo the other boys had fared almost as padly. Dan Desmoud, who lives at 81 Gurley street, was taken home in a bad condition ana the stomach pump was again called into requisition. In tho case of the other boys nature took the place of the stomnach pump and a violent nausen was the only evil effects that they sufferod from their exfmrimenh n Willie's pockots vrero found enough bot- tles of the *‘wonderfully successful” tonicand pills to start an oxtensive drug store. He will not uso them, however. When he ro- covors sufficiently to realize that hoe is alive he doubtless will promise to go to school for the remainder of his days. Indoed, it is pos- sible that he w forego the pleasant ais- sipation of “‘keeps” foraver., Ono thing atl-ast is certwm, Ho will never again meadle with white mills in_yellow envelopes, notwith standing tho fiot that thoy are “the great est, most unparalelled success in the history of medicine.” The Spooner Comedy conpany began an engagement at the IFarnam Streot theater vesterday 1n “A Fight fora Million.” 1t1s hot a protentious company, but it gave o smooth prescutition of its littl play ana caught the favor of vesterday's audicnces Ceeil Spooner plays a boy part better tha uy girls who attemnt it, and Edna May pooner was quite attractive as an unsophi ticated girl who becomes un heiress. number ot songs and dances and a Chino! orchestra were introduced during the pel formance and gave variety to the entertain- ment.
