FRACTIONAL DECLINES AND A DULL MARKET 8 Trading Dominated by Fear of Money Stringency in Ensuing Fortnight. Erie, Reading, and Sugar Refining Comparatively Firm Features. NEW YORK, Dec. 24 —The stock market opened dull and showing frac tional declines in comparison with yes terday's closing prices. The trading was again almost wholly dominated by the apprehension of con tinued stringency in the mongy mar ket in the ensuing fortnight. There was nothing of importance in this morn’s news calculated to divert atten tion from that phase of the situation. The morning inte.ligence from Vene zuela seemed to cut little or no figure in the trading. American stocks were rather heavy in the London market, chiefly in sympathy with the decline in the local dealings yesterday. Comparatively firm {features of thg early dealings were Erie, Reading, and Sugar Refining. Texas and Pacific was heavy. St. Paul and the other active stocks fluctuated within narrow limits.

Those kilied were: Capt. George M. Willfams. Fireman Longey. 1 One man on the barge whose name is rot know had his leg broken. Engineer Dunn will probably die. It is ‘believed his back is broken. The accident occurred seven miles be low the city. No cause is assigned for the upcldent, he Sx plmsion shook the adjacent mills, and was hes for a lon BANK OF SPAIN TO OPEN IN NEW YORK AND HAVANA DRID, Dee. 24.—Your correspond ent is reliably informed that as the busi mess between Spain and America has been increased greatly since the Span ish-American war. The Bank of Spain will shorciy open branches in both New York and Havana. Prices were reactionary yesterday, due to a suddem rise in the rate on call loans to 7% per cent, and late in the day to 10. Today it reached 9 per ceat before noon. This rate may continue the rest 6f the week, in fact, it will be surprising i: the rate is not raised again before the end of the month. Last year it went to 25 per cent on Decem ber 31. But when money does seek its normal condition, prices of securijies are bound to go up, and even now the banks are forced to resort to the call ing of loans and increasing the rates to restrain speculation. Between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock vesterday Louisville Nashville ad vanced from 123 to 126% on a rumor that an extra dividend had been de clared on the stock. Credence was given to the rumor, inasmuch as a dividend is soon to be declared, and the result was that room traders dealt in about 13,000 shares before it was learned th: dividend declared wis by the Loulevi'ie Street Railway Company. Brooklyn Rapid Transit showed an in crease of 30 per cent in ne. earnings for November, and was correspondingly ac tive, but it will be some tise before It reaches the high prices o* 1889. Incident to every meeting of the di rectors of the Vanderbilt roads rumors are circulated of increased dividends, and these rumors are circulated with persistency which creates an activity in the stocks. But with the adjournment of every recent meeting it is learned that there was no increase. This was the action yesterday with respect ‘'o the New York Central, Lake Shore, a 7% ihe Mich igan Central, Increased operating ex penses in all the roads have cut down net earnings. It is said that the “beam” pool and “steel plate” pool have entered into agreements to maintain their prices in tact mext year. The members of these pools include both the independent con cerns and the United States Steel Cor poration, but as this last corporation manufactures most of the products it becomes necessarily the dominating fac tor and controls the situation. It is reported that President Schwab has a five-year contract with the Steel Corporation at $160 000 a year, or $800,000 in all, and that in addition to this sum Mr. Carnegie gives him $200,000 more. There is no doubt that a gradual set tlement of the Copper warfare is in progress, but H. H. Rogers, of the Amal gamated Company, denies that in this settlement the Heinze interests will get much consideration. The settlement will be between the Amalgamated Com pany and the inierests represented by Sonator Clark. The Pennsylvania will not be the only railroad to tunnel the North River, if the Delaware and Lackawanna’ aud Erie avail themselves of the franchise ap proved yesterday by the mayor of New York. This franchise contemplates the tunneling of the river between Jersey City and Christopher and Hudson Streets in New York, and the erection of large terminal facilities at the latter point. Jchn L. McLean, of the firm of J. L. Mclean Co., was expelled from the Consolidated Exchange yesterday. He claims to own twelve seats on the ¢x change. There ure indications fromm the active borrowing demand for St. Paul, Balti more and Ohio, Atchison, Union Pacific, avd Southern Pacific that there is a large short interest in these stocks. A very little steady buying would cause the shorts to cover and send prices up six or deven points. All of the siacks are lower than they were a year ago, with the ex ception of Southern Pacific. It is estimated by the “Railroad Ga zette™ that €.026 miles of new steam rail reac have heen built in the year 1902. This does not include double track or sid ings. The trackage is larger than for any year «ince 1880. The increase extends also 0 cars and locomotives, and the cart built last year exceed by 25,542 the cutput for 1901.

ROME DENIES RUMOR ROME, Dec. 24 —The rumor current in the United States this morning that the OF POPE’S Pope is ill, is without foun':tjon. His holiness is in excellent health anc spirits. THE FINANCIAL WORLD. THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1902. WORK ON GOULD SYSTER BEGUN AT BALTIHORE Hoped to Have Rocaa Com pleted by Summer. Plans of the Goulds for reaching the eastern coast for (heir great railroad system have approached the stage where the public can see physical signe of progress. Heretofore, news has been of what was to be done toward making the connections or what had been done in buying this or that road. Last week saw a change. Work was begun on the tidewater terminals at Bal timore. It was a modest beginning. Con tractors began pulling piles from four 01d piers on the water edge of what is koown as Fort Covington, where some thirty acres at the head of one of the channels in the hafbors nas been .se cured for terminals. Test piles for the long bridge which is to cross the middle branch of the Patapsco River on the line-—seven miles long—coanecting the ‘Western Maryland Railroad prope: with the Fort Covington property, were sunk; hearing as to the character of the ‘bridge was given by Gen. Peter C. Hains, of the United States Engineering Corps, and best of all, as viewed by Balti moreans, grading was begun. Less than a year ago announcement ‘was made of the purchase of the West Virginia Central by the so-called Fuller syndicate. Six” months later, that syn dicate elected Winslow S. Pierce presi dent, and F. S. Landstreet vice presi dent of the Western Maryland, having \in the meantime bought the Baltimore and Washington county interest in the road. Such was the faith of Baltimor eans in the Goulds that the city refused an offer of $10,000,000 made by the Read ing Railway, and took $8,761,000, the of fer of the Goulds. A guarantee that $3,000,000 would be spent on terminals, and connection be made with the coal mines in West Vir ginia was exacted. This was not ab solutely necessary, for almost before the road was turned over to the new man agement, arrangements had been made for the purchase of the Fort Covington property, and engineers were making surveys for the tidewater line. The tidewater line itself will be equal to that of any road in the country—ir deed, this may be said of the entire sye tem. The route of the former is gov erned by the franchise granted a decade ago. Baltimore is hilly, and there are some steep grades on the line between the Western Maryland and the termi nals. The heaviest grade will be 1.2 per cent with traffic, and the sharpoast curve 7 degrees, properly compensaied. The line goes under the Pennsylvania Railroad once, under the Baltimore and Ohio twice, and has one grade crossing on the latter road. There are compara tively few street crossings at grade, the highways as a rule going over or under the Tracks. The work will be heavy, some of the cuts being forty feet deep. It is hoped to have the road finished next sumnger. Much will depend on the attitude of property owners. Some right-of-way has been secured, and on this grading has begun, but in other cases condemnation proceedings are on, and still others are in prospect. The main line of the Western Mary land must be rebuilt. Curves mast come out, grades cut down, bridges re built, and heavier rails laid. Except in the broad ofitline of doing away with the worst features. nothing has been decided upon. The main line climbs to the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and on each side of the summit the worst grades are to be found. Surveys have been made for a 10,000-foot tunnel through this ridge, the building of which would entail the construction of a road twenty-six miles long from the Monocacy east to Smithsburg, west of the mountains. This is about the dis tance of the present line with its curves and grades. To construct this line would take about two years.

THE NEWS OF GEORGETOWN. The conference uf the Society of the St. Vincent de Paul of Trinity Catholic Church will observe the established custom this year and distribute baskets of provisions to the Georgetown poor. ‘The distribution will be made this evening. Last Sunday at all the ser vices the usual appeal to the congre gation was made for donations, which have been very liberal. John Hadley Doyle, Daniel Donnelly, and Mrs. Charles Hein, form the committee in charge of the Georgetown branch of the society. Thomas E. Waggaman, a member of the Georgetown branch, several days ago made a liberal donation. The so ciety this year will try and reach every needy family in the West End. Miss Annie E.

KAISER AT WORK AND AT PLAY. Emperor William Takes Up Either With Equal Zest. Trl Ekal LES. London Mail, One useful quality which William Ii has to perfection is the power -f in stant application. He can take up a piece of work and become immersed in it at 2 moment's notice, Certainly the faculty -is one which no emperor who has te travel about and show him self should be without. One tiny example of such concentration came under my notice. The Emperor had come over for a night at the opera at Wiesbaden from Mainz, where he had spent the day reviewing troops. Fe drove straight from the performance back to the rail way station to catch the midnight train for Metz and more reviews. A few adventurous English visitors took up their stand at a level crossing a miie out of Wiesbaden so as to get an un interrupted view of the royal train as it flashed by. Their curiosity was re warded by a full view of the imperial saloon carriage, brilliantly lighted and the blinds undrawn. Only a mile out of Wiesbaden, with the gongs of the German prima donna not out of his ears—yet there sa’ the Emperor =t his desk, writing as diligently as the most irdustrious and most inferior of nrove lists. His imperial maicsty works to good purpose. Naval cotrtruction, of course, 1g his particular hobhy. At the time of the last universal! maritime conference held at Berlin. one of the principal of ficlals of Lloyd's surveying staff, sii-e dead, had an audience of the Emperor The Englishman was shown some of the ship models In the imperial study. He was not a courtier, nor did he possess in any merked degree the ability te appre ciate Teutonic virtues. But he returned to London enthusiastic aboat William NI —not, be it observed, in the latter's ciu pacity as a ruler, but as a naval cou siructor of the soundest and most learned type. The Emperor at play is an equally thoroughgoing person. All the world the game will be turned into the build ing fund of Trinity Catholic Church, In the assembly hall of the Western High School last might the pupils en tertained their frier.ds and relatives with a Christmas enteriainment. The affair was a highly enjoyable one. All of the puplis of the Georgetown public schools have been interested in the work of protecting dumb animals and looking after their welfare, and as a re sult a number of bands have been form ed. It is a branch of the Society of Prevention of Crueity iu Animals. The puplis of each class of the local schools have formed what is known as a band of mercy. The object of these bands is best exprossed by George T. Angell: “To teach and lead every child and older per Son to seize every opportunity to say a kind word or do a kind act that wil} make somfe other human being or dumb animal happier.” Miss Ella M. Chase, principal of the Cestis School on O Street, near Potomac, is president of the bands of that schoo! The members of Potomac Comman dery, No. 3, Knights Templar, will as semble at Masonic Hall on Thirtysec ond Street, tgmorrow afternoon, and for mally observe the dav. WAR REVENUE TAX CASE What is known as the war revenue tax case has been advanced on the docket of the Supreme Court of the United States. The case is that of Cheeshorough against the United States, and involves the validity of the provision of the war revenue law which fixed the ‘ax on all deeds of transfer of real esta'e. The case will come on for hearing on the second Monday in Januvary MKENDRE CANTATA McKendree Sunday school will cele brate Christmas with a cantata on Fri day evening, December 26, Friends of the children are invited. knows that he has acquired some of his mother’s artistic ability. He sketches, though those who remember his alle gorical drawing emblematic of the Yel low Peril may be inclined to describe his pencil as somewhat feverish. He has written poetry, and helped in the writ ing of a play, and given ideas for other plays. His latest feat has been to sup ply Signor Leeoncavallo with a Berlin plot for a new opera. Indeed, the Em peror has a positive mania for the the ater. Every spring he gpends twelve days at Wiesbaden, and every night his stay (including Sunday) sees him at the opera. The opera house in that beautiful city was one of his pet pro jects. The director, Herr von Hilsen, was a fcrmer schoolsfellow, and the per formances are arranged by his majesty some weeks before his visit. Out of doors the Emperor's chief relaxation is with the gun. He has ‘always been an indefatigable hunter of wild things from grouse to boars. A congenital malfor mation of the left arm leaves it useless for all purposes savé to repose on his sword hilt at his side. He takes aim and shoots with his right arm alone. Yachting is his other love. He likes

The Idaho Supreme Court has handed down an opinion in the L. D. Brickey habeag corpus case. Brickey had been convicted in the lower court of “carry ing a deadly weapon within the limits of the city of Lewiston in contravention of the act of the Territory of Idaho, of Feh ruary 4, 1899,” and was in jall serving sentence when a writ of habeas corpus was applied for. fd STOCKS The court held that the act referred to was unconstitutional, granted the writ, and on a hearing ordered the discharge of the prisoner. The opinion of the court, which is by Chief Justice Quarles, the other justices concurring, is in part as follows: SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES Safe Depos t Be xes for rent in large burglar RN “The Second Amendment to the Feder al Constitution is in the following lan guage: ‘A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’

“The language of section 11, Article I, constitution of Idaho, is as follows: ‘The people have the right to bear arms for their security and defense, but the Leg Islature shall regulate the exercise of this right by law.’ “Under these constitutional provisions the legislature has no power to prohibit a citizen from bearing arms in any por tion of the State of Idaho, whether with in or without the corporate 'lmits of cities, towns, and villages, “The Legislature may, as expressly provided in our State constitution, reg ulate the exercise of this right, but may not prohibit jt. “A statute prohibiting the carrying of concealed deadly weapons would be a proper exercise of the police power of the State. “But the statute in question does not prohibit the carrying of weapons con cealed, which is cof itself a pernicious practice, but prohibits the carrying of them in any manner in cities, towns, and villages. “We are compeiled to hold this statute void. The statute being void, the said justice's gourt had no jurisdictinn of the subject-matter of the action, and the said judgment of conviction and the commitment which issued thereon and the detention of the petitioner under said commitment and judgment of conviction is illegal and void.

“The said judgment being void, ha beas corpus will lie, and the prisoner should be discharged from custody, and it is so ordered.” THE NATIONAL SAFE DEPOSIT, SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY,
