Ilanlivnrp Company , the MomliiTH of WliU-li Cniiiiot AKri'i * . The Cox-Ittner Hardware company , at Sherman avenue and Corby street , which was only Incorporated on July 19 of this year , seems already to be considerably dis rupted and disturbed by an Internal dissen sion among the three members , E. D. Cox , Ernest Ittner and H. A. Meyers. Of the three. Cox claims to ba the injured party , and he has asked the courts for assistance. Cox alleges that the company was capital ized at $10.000 , but that only ? 1,000 of stock was issued , one-half bslng taken by him self and the balance by Ittner. He aversi that ho sold $5 worth of his chares to H. A. Meyers , and that then the trouble began. He charges that as Ittner and Meyers held the majority of stock , they started In to freeze him out. A meeting of the three directors was he-Id on October 16 , and Cox says that he , who was president , was de- nosed , although his term of ofllco had not expired. Meyers was elected in hlsjlace. 'He ' further tays that although he Is the only practical hardware- man of the thro ? , the other two have assumed control of the busi ness , and refuse to allow him to have any thing to do with It , or Inspect the books and accounts. On this showing Cox asks that the two men bo ordered to turn over all the books and accounts to the court , that the company b declared suspended and a full accountIng - Ing bo had.

Tne temperature of the street at the opening was moro hopefu owliif ; to the hlRher quotation ! ) made for American securities In London. H was rec ognlzed that the character of the carl } cables uould determine the course of the New York market. The street was again crowded with outsiders who thronssil the entrances and galleries of the exchange. The opinion had heon gathered from the newspapers that Monday would be n field da > In earnest. ThD brokers were out early am anxiously exchanged opinions ns to the proh able course of the London prices , The early cables caused profound relief , as they showcc advances ranging up to 2 per cent In St Paul. The only Important exception was a decline In Canadian Pacific of 2 % . Other reabsurlng reports and rumors were current.It was announced that the clearing house committee of the Now York Stock ex change had decided to Issue ceitlflcatcs as upon former occasions , and this , It was known , would exert a decidedly beneflcla effect In averting trouble If any were Im pending , The scene In the Stock exchang ? at the fall of the chairman's gavel announcing the formal opening of the business was deeply Im pressive. The outsiders were of course un aware of the changs for the better In the sentiments of the brokers. The oncnlnc was even wilder than It had been. The meeting of the Clearing House asso ciation ndjourneJ after giving the commlttea authority to Is.itie clearing house loan certifi cates to an unlimited amount. The personnel of the clearing houo loan committee Is the same ns It was In 1893. It consists of President Frederick D. Tappen , chairman , Gallatln National ; J , Edward Slin- mend , Fourth National ; II. W. Cannon , Chase National ; Williams , Chemical ; Perklny , Importers and Traders , and Nash , Corn Ex change. The certificates will be Issued 'at 6 per cent and a commission of 1-1C psr'cent. No applications for certificates had been re ceived by any of the banks. This scheme of the clearing certificates which originated In the panic of 1S73 and was adopted In the panic of 1884 , 1S90 nnd 1893 , Is simply a plan for union between the clsnr- Ing house banks. Any Individual banks need ing certificates puts up a bond collateral , fthlio the certificates themselves are to the obligations of the entire association of New York banks , making them unquestioned se curity. This combination prevents the weaker banks from being pressed and In turn enables them to deal justly with their borrowers In a panicky market. The schcm ? , however , does not protect or render assistance to banks that are actually Insolvent. Lean certificates will bo Issued up to 75 per cent of the value of the eecurltles. Heretofore , the clearing house banks have acted slowly In th ? Issue of certificates and the complaint was made that the evil had , been wrought bsforo remedial action was taken. The promptness of the present action hao stimulated the rally In the market and has had great weight In influencing a revival cf purchases of our securities for foreign au- ccunt today.

Scott , president of the Union Iron works , who Lullt the Olympla and several other of the b'st American warships , says that In ihe event of war between England and Atrorlca this country would come out on top. ' * "There Is no question of England's gre.it strength on th * water , " slid Mr. Scott , "but It Is not always the strongest navy that gets away with the battle. A lucky shot will turn the tide of the fight when the danger seems th ? greatest. England might give us a dash nt first , but In the end we would whip her. her."Wo "Wo have this advantage of her. She would liava to como over to light us. By the time her battleships crossed the Atlantic they would be short of fuel and It would bo necessary for them to reload. The English worships would make for Halifax and our effort would bo to Intercept thsm. The first great nnvol battle would take placs off the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. Our pecple would cross Into Chnada and force the Brldsh to send reinforcements there. The EngJIsh would , . : c doubt , attempt to lay t'iego ' to Buffalo , Milwaukee , Chicago and other lake cities. They would send their Rtt.nlt stilnu Intn thn Inlrnn nuil ntMflr nilt- cltles. their object being to keep up their frontier by compelling us to stay nt home and protect the harbor. Then our objective po'nt would bo the Welland canal. With the canal destroyed , connection with the lakes would he closed nnd the British fie.'f shut out. "In my judgment , If war Is declared every effort will be made on the port of our armies to get 'nto Canada before a sufficient force could ho gathered there 10 ston their progress. Canada Is a vulnerable nlnco lo us and England would be nhllced tn bring trcbpa over tn ri fpn ! ! t Th ° ' 'insporlallon of troops from England to America would be no easy task. The transports will have to b ? convoyed by cruisers and battleships , and the spscd would be that of the slowest ship In the fleet. "Tho president would find no trouble In ral'lng an army. Onp million men would vol unteer as fast ns they could bo organize1 ! . It would be n very different proposition to war between the north and the south.

"A war between America and England pll.llltm t ) ft fnno nt flin ti'lmlnirt * tl Russia would gain Conelantlnoplo and Eng land would lose India. China would bo di vided between Russia , Japon.

The ten dency of American ship owners would he to transfer th lr vessels to some other nation In order to escape English privateers. Some neutral nation would doubtless benefit by the war In point of commerca. Francs might take a notion to ottack England while she Is busy with the United Statoa All things considered , I do not think England wants to light very badly. Then It Feems to me that a boundary strip in Venezuela Is * too trivial an affair for two countries llko United States and Great Britain to go to war over , and I think some peacefuV solution will bo found to settle the controversy. " CANADA AWAKES TO THI3 IJ.VXfSEH. to tlenllre tlie ProNltleiit'N MONTREAL , Dec. 23. Canada Is begin ning to look a little more njriously than at first at the war nuestlon. The Fiftv-iilnth battalion , composed nearly entirely of Scotch , with headquarters in the county of Stermont , and to whom the first defense on the frontier south of Mount Royal would fall , cabled to Lord Salisbury : "Do not lose any sleep over the defense of our part of the frontier. We'll triple our number of men If war should be declared. " The Montreal Star today offers to equip a regiment and look after the relatives of Its men during the war If there should be one. It says : "There has been a natural disposi tion on the part of the people of Canada to regard President Cleveland's mes'jag" ' to con gress suggesting war with England aa an Incident of political party strife In the United States and devoid of serious International significance. To deliberately and without provocation court for his country such a dire calamity ar war with the most powerful em pire on earth appeared more like the outcome of a drunken orgy of an Imperial despot than the deliberate act of the chosen leader of a free and enlightened nation. But whatever may have been the motive for thU action , which has pucli stupendous significance for us , or none at all , the manner of Its reception by the press and people of the United States forbids the Canadians any longer ignoring It or treating It with contempt.

B. A. Kelly is a farmer from Mlssotiil. He was In the c'ty last night onqruKod in some Christmas shopping , nnd before he finished ho was arrested on the double chargeof carrying" concealed woaponx and passing countorfelt money. The Inspector ot money ut llnvden' * store examined the two $10 bills which Kelly hud sent to the cashlei's desk and deuluied that they weie counterfeits , and very ponr ones nt that. An olllcer was called and Kelly wa hustled off to the pollc ? station. At the station It was found that Kelly carried a revolver. To be sure , It was not loaded , but the additional charge of carryIng - Ing concealed weapons wont down opposite his name. Later United States Inspcetor Donslla called at the station and carefully examined the two $10 bills which Kelly had endeavored to pas' ) , and nlso the two le- mnlnlng ones which Kcly had In his pocket. Ths government official declnied that nil four of the bills were genuln1 and that the charge of pissing counterfeit money could not be sustained. Kelly was not released. _ Collide on 11 Croivilo.il Corner. A wagon belonging to the Pacific ISxprcg * company and dilvcn by J.
