third party ideas and are not likely t

ANOTHER DAY OF WILD EXCITEMENT.
Everybody Suspects that Gould is

Go to tlio Wall.
NEW YOHK , Nov. 12. When the gong
sounded for Ihe opening of business this
morning on the stock exchange theiro was n
yell and a rush and pandemonium reigned on
the floor. The market opened stronger and
there was evidently a hopeful view of the sit
uation despite the fact that early London ad
vices wore not of n favorable character.
The stock market todnv showed a ma
terially bettor feeling both in the street and
outsldo nnd there was the most gratifying
confidence displayed thai not oulv was the
worst over but thut the Improvement would
bo quick and sharp. The action ol the clear-
ng house committee , coming to the relief of
ho banks in difficulty , was the means of re-
itorlng confidence to many , while the im-
> rovcmcnt in the situation abroad was also n
wwerful factor to that end. Not only were
ictivo stocks much higher nil day long , but
, ho Inactive specialties which yesterday could
lot find buyers at any price today were token
at constantly advancing ilgurus , und the
heavy slump In these shares was la a great
measure made up.
The liquidation in Villnrds Is now believed
.o have marked the culmination oftho efforts
o force a complete liquidation in the street ,
as these slocks had resisted the force applied
for much a longer tlmo than any other group
of stocks on the list. The impression is now
, hnt the whole situation has been Improved
'or the bettor and a higher market will fol-
ow. There are to to expected considerable
jelling of Northern Pacific securities and
some others to liquidate loads , as was wit
nessed today , but tbo market now shows
no pressure of stbcks aud offerings of
the past few days have undoubtedly
been taken by strong parties. The unfavor
able factors today were the continued sales
under the rule both on account of the sus
pended linn of Decker , Howcll & Co. and for
the accounts of two other brokers whoso sus
pension was announced today. There were
still rumors of further troubles in financial
circles and the North Uiver bank went intc
.ho hands of an examiner late in the day ,
.hough . the fact was not made known until
after the close of business. Foreigners were
"icavy buyers all day and transactions for
foreign account .were so largo that tlio sus
plclon that the lata sales for London were for
short account was openly expressed. The
loaning rates for stocks has been very hint
nnd inquiry has been very urgent , which
would go to glvo color to the suspicion. The
report that Gould had acquired control of the
Union 1'acillo again was used for all it was
worth , but the stock showed no response to
the story. North American sold heavily ,
nnd although taken freely failed to advance
with the rest of the list and was specially
sluggish In comparison with Northern Pa
cific Transactions in It , however , were or
an enormous sealo and aggregated about one
quarter of the total business done In all secu-
ritlcs. The general list wos.very feverish , as
was to bo expected under the circumstances ,
but there was nn almost continuous advance
in prices from the opening to the close.
Trading up to 10:43 n. m. was simply en
ormous , especially in the Vlllards and St
Paul. Several thousand shares were sold
under the rule , completing the sales whict
were begun yesterday , These wore all ii
Vlllards and St. Paul and are believed to b <

The general market declined slightly fron
the opening with a 2 per cent drop h
Burlington. The Villards , however , wen
strong. S. V. White , one of the leadinf
operators , says the indications are for cheapei
money , which must tend to help the market
It looks now as If the conditions were fa
voraoloto a decided improvement. In view
of the fact that London is regarded as tin
main factor in the situation , it may bo im
portnnt to know that bullion Is being shippei
from many financial centers to that point

All efforts to obtain .further information

The body of Gcucrnl Crook arrived from
Oakland , Md.at 5 o'clock this morning , nnd
nt 10 o'clock it was borne in a hcarso to Ar
lington , whore the remains of the dead In
dian lighter were finally put to rest , side by
side with these of hundreds of illustrious
comrades who gave up their lives for
this republic more than n quarter of | n
'century ago. Mcar the last resting place
of General Belknnp the grave hnd been dug ,
nnd around this the ofllccrs gathered whlleslx
artillery sergeants took thocoftlu from the
hearse and lowered It Into the lomb. The
cavalry dismounted nnd formed in the road
way and presented arms as the casket sunk
from sight. Then for n moment there was n
rest to load with blank cartridges , and ns two
colored men rapidly shoveled the earth
upon the cofiln , volley after volley
rallied from the carbines , nnd Just
as the third ono was being llred
tbo truraptor sounded the call of "tans. "
Nearly nil of those who went to Arlington
with the remains vcro on terms of speclnrin-
timacy with General Croolc. The attendance
would doubtless have been much larger had
It generally been known that the reinterment
would tnko place today , but the fnct failed of
wide circulation aud this must account for
the absence of so many associates. Ono who
came from Omaha to pay Iho last honor was
there. It was Colonel Stnnlou , known among
nrmv men In Iho west as the lighting pay
master. When the Sioux trouble opened in
the Black Hills , Colonel Stunton volunteered
to enter active service. Ho was temporarily
detached from the paymaster's department
nnd proceeded to make himself most useful.
Ho commanded the half breed ami Indian
scouts nnd in the course of that and subsequent
campaigns had more than a fnir share of
dangers nnd hardships. Ho was associated
in the field principally with Major OeorRO M.
Kandall of the Twenty-third infantry , who
was expected to bo present today. Colonel
Stautou was conspicuously bravo In the St.
Patrick's day fight with Urazy Horse on the
Powder river , Mont. , nnd again at Slim
Butlcs , Dak. Ho suffered with the others of
tbo command on that awful march from Yel
lowstone river to Dendwood , where for ten
days the soldiers subsisted entirely on the
llcsh of broken down horses. A bosom friend
of ( Jcneral Crow's was Captain G. Bourko.
who was with the general from 1871 to 18Si
and was his chief of stall during the greater
portion of these llfteen eventful yc.irs. Ho
was with Crook in every flght ho
fought nud every mile ho marched ,
running the bloody gauntlet of ttio
Apaeho , Sioux , Cheyenne , Bannock ,
Ncz Perces , Uw nud Cluracahua campaigns ,
and accompanying the general in that famous
expedition to the Sierra Madre mountains
aftcr'Geronlmo.
No man mourns the departure of Crook
with more .sincerity- than does paptain
Bbnrko. General Sohoflcld was also a. warm
friend of General Crook's nnd General Crook
was an ardent admirer of General Schollcld.
"When Crook was in command of the depart
ment of Arizona nnd was making things warm
for the Apaches ho was enthusiastically sup
ported by General Scholleld , then command
ing the division of the Pacitlc. Crook always
said that but for Schollcld ho would hnvo
failed In Arizona.
Webb Hayes , son of ox-President Hayes ,
was beloved by General Crook from his early
childhood. There was nn intimacy between
tlio Hayes family nnd AVobb was always the
warrior's ' favorite. Every year for some
time past , with ono or two exceptions , has
seen General Crook. and Webb Hayes out in
the far west on n hear hunt. During the war
of tbo rebellion a friendship sprung up be
tween General Crook nnd Colonel If. C. Cor-
bin , the latter commanding a > regiment in
General Crook's brigade in tho'Army of the
Cumberland.
Lieutenant Kcnnnn was also a favorite
with General Crook nnd the great affection
manifested by the old warrior was heartily
reciprocated. After the party's return from
Arlington they were cntertalnea at luncheon
by Captain John G , and Mrs. Bourke at their
homo , 183'J Jefferson Place.
THE BEAT , COXTIIOVERSY.
Just before he went west. Senator Petti-
grow announced his determination to propose
in the senate tlib absolute abandonment ol
the seal fishing interests of the Unllcd Stales
in Alaskan waters. The senator said the
reason for this movement on his part was :
First , that the seal fisheries cost more than
they bring in ; second , that they are con
tinued sources of Internal complication , and ,
third , that the seals which are protected , by
the government destroy the cod fisheries ,
which would bo infinitely .more valuable than
the seal fisheries nnd which would entail no
expense. Senator Pcttigrew meant what ho
said and will undoubtedly carry out his
proposition ns far as possible. Ho is likely
to meet with a very strong ally in the person
of Commander Tanner of the United States
fish commission steamer , ' "Albatross. " 'Com
mander Tanner has Juit returned from n
cruise along the Northern Paclllc coast of the
United Stales and has spent sotno months in
investigating the fisheries in the Bearing sen.
Ho reports tlm" the cod fisheries there nro ol
almost untold value nnd that they promise tc
afford enormous returns In the future , ticn-
ntor Pettigrcw's idea is indexed by several
senators and if the fish commission comes out
strongly for It , ns It Is likely to do , it need not
surprise anyone to learn lhat Iho Alaskai :
seal fisheries are not to bo fanned out nftci
the existing contract , ' but that , the cod fish
erics are to bo cultivated instead.
