STOCKS EXCHANGE IS EXCITED
Violent Flnctnationa Take Place in
Man Storks oa the
Active l.lst.
NHW YORK, April 2S.-The stock mar
ket showed the after-effects of yesterday's
demoralization today, but a contest de
veloped between opposing forces and mnde
violent fluctuations both ways. A higher
opening, helped by buying earlier In Lon
don, did not dissuade sellers from unload
ing in great volume and a threatening
slump followed. Vigorous support rallied
the market, but this did not quiet the
feverish tone at once. On the break such
declines wers indicated fas 6 points In North

Jersey, 4 In Colorado Fuel, S In Republic
Steel preferred. In Atlantic Const Line,
American Car and Tressed Steel Car pre
ferred, while Louisville & Nashville,
Union Pacific, Chesapeake & Ohio, United
States Steel preferred. Tennessee Coal, Lo
comotive, Sloss-ShefMeld Steel, Amalga
mated Copper, General Electric and some
others suffered to the extent of i to 2.
The rebound carried Union Pacific and Illi
nois Central 1 over last night and more
than made up some of the principal losses.
Northern Pacific rose 2 and Great North
ern preferred There was a pause to
take breath after the precipitate decline
had been arrested.
After the effectiveness of the support be
came evident there was less pressure to
sell and prices gradually recovered. There
were occasional setbacks and wavering, but
all the gains were established during the
afternoon. These extended to nearly two
points In Union Pacific and to a point or
more In some issues.
The whole mnrket was unsettled again In
the final dealings by a break In Louisville

DIPLOMATS PREPARING FOR END
Foreign Ministers at Washington
Will Talk Matters Over at Home.
WASHINGTON, April 28. Expecting that
Washington la destined to -play an Impor
tant part In the preliminary negotiations
that will precede the cessation of hostili
ties between Russia and Japan, even though
the American capital may no', be selected
as the scene of the actual peace negotia
tions, Baron Sternberg, the German am
bassador, and Mr. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, will sail for their respective
countries soon after conferring with Presi
dent Roosevelt when he returns from the
west. Baron . Sternberg will have several
a.idlencej with the emperor and Mr. Jus
serand will see President Loubet and M.
Delcaase, to whom will be communicated
In an entirely official way the earnest wish
of the president that the war end at the
earliest possible moment. The ambassadors
will supplement their dispatches by per
sonal testimony of the activities at Wash
ington In this direction, which have been
led by the president, and that in event
the outlook for peace this summer seems
favorable both ambassadors will be pre
pared to return to their posts at once. Sir
Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador.
who sails tomorrow on the Etrurla tor
London, Is In full possession of President
Roosevelt's views, which he will communi
cate In a formal way to King Edward.
Bo far as their ambassador at Washing
ton can Judge King Edward and Emperor
William are as anxious as President Roose
velt for an early ending of the war. As
the ally of one of the belligerents, Great
Britain is prevented from taking the
friendly initiative open to the president
and Emperor William, but the necessity of
the king's co-operation as well as that of
the French government is readily recog
nixed. Whatever the result of the naval
battle Impending diplomats at Washington
believe tho first real opportunity for the
successful Initiation of peace negotiations
Inoe the war began will exist with the
ending of that engagement. The war has
cost both belligerents enormously In lives
and monev and defeat of Russia's last fleet
1.7V would, it is believed, give the Russian
. i- peace party renewed power, while even a
V partial victory for the Russian fleet would
have the effect of scaling Japan's peace
terms to what Russia would regard as
reasonable basis.

St. Petersburg Hears of Schwab's
Contract from New York.
ST. PETERSBURG. April M.-The news
of the conclusion of the arrangement be
tween Charles M. Schwab and the Russian
Admiralty for the reconstruction of the
Russian fleet contained In these despatches
was telegraphed back to St. Petersburg
from New York and published here this
afternoon, being the first Information on
the subject furnished to the Russian public.
The news created a great sensation among
the -e.gc.nt of foreign shipyards who had
been awaiting continuously in the corridors
of the Admiralty building. When the facts
became known to them they descended upon
the Admiralty In a body demanding de
tails and particulars of the mysterious
method of construction by which Mr,
Bchwab proposed to build ships twenty per
cent higher In efficiency than anything now
afloat, but they obtained little satisfaction
The few superior officers who tocjk part In
the secret negotiations nuturally declined
to talk and the Inferior officers could only
explain their lack of knowledge.
in newspaper correspondents who re
eclved urgent queries on the subject met
the same fate. In some cases shielding their
Inability to procure precise Information by
making formal denials. It was evident
from the matter In which the correspon

the European capital that Mr. Schwab'
guarantee to furnish Russia with ships

throughout the world has aroused intense
Interest everywhere.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 28. Three
days' hard fasting, preceding Easter, ac

Business of every character censed and all
the government departments were closed.
The alarming reports circulated during the
lost few days apparently had little effect
on the size of the crowds which thronged
the churches, where the tragedy of Cal
vary was vividly re-enacted. The day was
also marked by the observance of the tra
ditional ceremonies of freeing birds, light
ing bonfires and placing holy bread In bins,
but the bright sunshine did not fail to
make a deep Impression on the supersti

bodings of evil, being an augury of drouth

DETROIT, Mich., April 28. At today's
session of the American committee fed
erated with the World's Your.g Women's
Christian association, "the opportunity of
the association to prepare leaders for the
church" was discussed from the stand
point of a college president by Dr. W. H.

the dominant note In the college associa

be repelled. It must be remembered in
conducting this work that conditions have
changed from the days of the Puritans."
Among the recommendations of the Amer

the following: "That an advlBory com

The convention also voted to establish

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., April 28.
Detalls of the killing of four bears by
the president's party have not yet come
In. Late today Secretary Loeb received
a telephone message from a ranch house
two miles from the camp. The message
was dictated by the president and deliv
ered to Mr. Loeb by Courier Chapman. It
said: "We' got four bears yesterday. We
are all well."
There was more to the message touch
ing upon government affairs, but the ru
mor that the president had been 111 was
proven unfounded. It haB not been de
termined when the party will move Its
new location, about sixteen miles from
Glenwood Springs. The sport on the West
Divide creek has been so good that the
president dislikes to leave. At the same
time it Is believed the change proposed
will result In killing of grizzlies, which
variety has been particularly scarce. Brown
bears have been found In plenty, but Ihi
grizzly and the silver tip appear to be
too wily for the hunter.

WASHINGTON, April 2S. General FIU
hugh Lee, V. S. A., retired, and one of
Virginia's foremost sons, died at the Prov
idence hospital here tonight from an at
tack of apopiexy, which he suffered early
this morning on a train while enroute from
Boston to Washington. After General Lee
had been removed to the hospital this
morning It was evident to the physicians
that his case was a very serious one, but
they hoped that his vitality and will power
would assist materially In a partial re
covery at least from the attack. His con
dition remained fair considering the
severity of the attack during the day, but
shortly after 9 o'clock he begun to grow
weaker, his breathing became more rapid
and his pulse lower, terminating in less
than two hours In death. The end was
peaceful and without pain, the general
remaining conscious" until within five min
utes of the end. Half an hour before death
General Lee recognized his brother, Daniel
Lee, who canio Into the room for a mo
ment. Scenes in Death Chamber.
In the room when he died were Dr.
Montgomery, one of the physician at the
hospital; Mrs. Dorsey, a relative, and a
nurse, two of the attending physicians,
Drs. Edie and Kean, having retired: tem
porarily. A pathetic feature of the case
Is that although General Lee was blessed
with a family consisting of a wife and five
children, not one of them 'were with him
at the time of his death. The general was
08 years of age.
General Lee was conscious throughout
the day and recognized those who were
about the sick room. Necessarily these
were very few persons and included the
attending physicians, the nurses and sev
eral relatives who came to visit him. While
not suffering any pain the general was
rather uncomfortable most of the time,
his breathing being difficult and his articu
lation when he attempted to speak being
heavy and thick. The orders of Lieuten
ant George Ie, a son who was about to
sail for the Philippines, has been changed
and he will come to Washington and It is
expected will bo accompanied by his sis
ter, the wife of Lieutenant Brown, who
also Is now on the Pacific coast and whose
orders were Issued directing him to sail
with his regiment for the Philippines.
End Come Suddenly.
The end of General Lee's Illness wss a
shock to his numerous friends In Wash
ington. This was evidenced by the nu
merous Inquiries made during the day and
evening. His heart and soul has been In
the work of the Jamestown exposition and
he 'abored sealously to make It a success.
General Lee has been a prominent figure In
Washington and ho always was given a
hearty reception wherever he went.
Prior to the 'Civil war, at the beginning
of which he resigned his position In the
United States army. General Lea saw con
siderable frontier service In movements
against the Indians. He was an expert
cavalry officer and on one occasion, June
16, 1800, he was engaged In a hand to
hand encounter with Comanche Indlnns
near Camp Colorado, Texas. His services
In the confederate army as major general
are well known, and during the Interval
between this war and his active work In
the Spanish-American war General Lee
filled a number of Important positions,
Including the governorship of Virginia,
the presidency of the Pittsburg & Virginia
railway, the collector of Internal revenue
and the consul generalship of Havana.
Following his honorable discharge from
the volunteer army on March 2, 1901,
General Lee was appointed to the regular
army with the rank of brigadier general
and with this rank he was retired In the
March following.
Funeral Arrangements.
Arrangements for General Lee' funeral
and the selection of the place for the In
terment of the remains will not be made
until after the arrival In Washington of
Mrs. Iee, who is now on her way to
Washington from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
Meanwhile the body will be prepared for
burial and will remain at the hospital. It
la possible that the body may he laid to
rest at the National cemetery at Arling
ton, although It Is expected that General
Lee's friends may make an effort tp have
a site chosen somewhere else in Virginia,
the state he lived so many years in and
In who.ie behalf he was so strongly identi
fied. General Lee was a nephew of the
confederate general and, like him, saw
active service In the confederacy.
A widow and five children survive Gen
eral Lee. The two boys ore army officers
and two of the girls are wives of army
officers, while the remaining child is a
young woman still In her teens. The
children are Mrs. J. C. Rhea, wife of
Lieutenant Rhea, now at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga.; Lieutenant Fltzhugh Lee of the cav
alry branch, now In Manila; Lieutenant
George Mason Les of the Seventh cavalry,
who Is now In San Francisco; Mrs. Anne
Brown, wife of Lieutenant Brown of the
Seventh cavalry, who is now at San Fran
cisco, and Miss Virginia Lee.
At the time of his death General Lee
waa president of the exposition company
engaged In commemorating the settle
ment at Jamestown, by means of a land
and sea display, military and naval exhibit
at Hampton Roads, and it was In its
interest that he went to Boston.
Stricken at Mott Haven.
NEW YORK. April 28 General Lee wa
stricken with apopU-xy while the Federal
express, on which he was a passenger, was
at Mott Haven, the terminal of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, on
the East tiver, early today. Two physicians
were summoned and General Lee remained
on board the train while It was transferred
by float to Jersey City and proceeded to
Washington.
General Lee was known In Omaha,
where he served as commander of the De
partment of the Missouri for some tlm
three years ago, coming here upon his
appointment to the regular army after
service with the volunteer forces as major
general during the Spanish-American war.
He left Omaha for his home In Charlottea
burg. Vs., upon his retirement from active
service In the army. He Is one of two
former confederate brigadier generals
bearing slihilar lank In the United State
army, the other being General Joa Wheeler
of Alabama.

society, has written the following letter
to the policyholders of the Equitable Life
Assurance society:
The members of the investigating com
mittee have received a large nunioer of
letters from jiollcyholders mnking In
quiries as to the solvency of the society
and In many cases desiring to know if the
sums already paid to the society ns pre-
policies were endangered 01
on
mium
lost.
The work of Investigation, to be of value,
must be done, thoroughly. To do this will
necessarily take time. The committee Is
not ready to make its report and cannot
at this time anticipate its report.
In view of these Inquiries from policy
holders, It seems proper for the committee
to state that the interest of every policy
holder Is absolutely safe.
The assets of the society are In its pos
session. They have been examined In do
tall by the Insurance commissions of many
states. They are absolutely sound. Indeed,
one of the criticisms of the society's man
agement has been that in Its Investments
it has been conservative to the point of
not realizing a sufliclently high rate of
interest on its funds. There are no charges
made which, if true, would diminish the
oiicty's assets.
The integrity of the society's contracts
Is absolutely unimpaired. It might lie well
In this connection to add that while as
sessment societies and fraternal organiza
tions require the new risks to meet their
obligations on old ones, the Equitable,
like all of the old line companies, could
meet in full all of Its maturing policies,
even If It never wrote another dollar of
Insurance.
The Investigation, commencing May 1,
will hold dally sessions until Us work be
completed.
(Signed) II. C. FRICK, Chairman.
It was rumored in Wall street today that
Vice President Gage E. Tarbell had de
cided to retire from the Equitable and
start a new company. It was understood
that he had an abundance of capital back
ing for the new company, and It was in
tended to offer the presidency of it to
President James W. Alexander of the
Equitable If he Is willing to accept.

homo on Astor street, It having been
taken possession ol by tho Wisconsin
Trust and Security company as receiver
for the Itigelow estate. Mr. Blgelow, with

of testamentary appointment. Mr. Blge

day was reduced to almost an even thing,
thus showing that the bank has recovered
its normal condition.

Frosident of Teamsters Advises TriTer to
Refrain from Disordsr.
THIRTY-FIVE HUNDRED ARE OUT
Attempt Will Probably Re Made t
Involve Railway ilrot herhoods
and Employes of I nlon
Traction Company.
CHICAGO, Arrll iS.-For the first time
since the strike of the American Railway
union In l.VH, tho government of tho
I'nlted States has been made a party to
the labor troubles In this city. The gov
ernment was brotiRht Into the teamsters'
strike tod.iy by tho issuance of an In
junction by JudRo C. C. Kohlsaat of the
United States circuit court. The writ was
asked on behalf of the Employers' Team
ing comiwny, on tho grounds that the
orgnnlzatlon Is Incorporated under the
laws of West Virginia, and Is therefore
under tho protection of the federal court.
The order commands that all defendant
refrain from any Interference with the
business of the Employers' Teaming com
pany and commands the strikers to refrain
from picketing, massing on the streets, with
Intent to Interfere with the wagons of the
complainant and from Interfering In any
manner with nonunion men in its em
ploy. As soon as Issued coplea of the In
junction were printed in large cards, and
two of these were attached to every wagon
of the Employers' Teaming company which
wont upon the streets today. The injunc
tion exerted a pacifying Influence Bnd
there was less rioting In tho streets than
yesterday. A heavy thunderstorm, which
continued during tho latter part of the aft- '
ornoon and through tho evening, also lent
material assistance in keeping the streets
clear.
, Twelve Arrest Made.
Twelve arrest were made for Interfer
ence with tho Injunction, all of them be
ing mode, at one time and place. At 1:80
o'clock this afternoon two wagon loaded
with coal approached the Union League
club on Jackson boulevard, and when they
attempted to drive into the narrow alley
cant of the club house to unload, the
nonunion teamsters -were attacked by a
crowd of strike sympathizers and a lively
fight resulted. The wagons were plainly
marked with copies of the injunction, and
the police In charging the mob arrested
twelve strikers, who ore now confined In
the Harrison street police station. They
may be arraigned In the United State cir
cuit court tomorrow morning. . , .
One hundred and five copies of the In
junction were given to United State Mar
shal Ames for service upon the labor lead
ers, and five of hi assistant were sent
out Immediately to serve them. The
greater part of the notice had been given
by evening.
Cautioned Against Violence.
When the news of the injunction reached
President Shea of the teamster he Issued
the following order, signed by the com
mittee of teamsters' business agent!
To All I'nlon Teamsters: Permit no
violation of the peace under any circum
stances; competent drivers oannot be pro
cured to handle the teams in Chicago and
violence will not help us in this strike. Be
loyal to your union and obey its Instruc
tions. The Injunction writ Is made returnable
May 10 and the defendants will be given a
hearing at 10 a. m. on that day.
In the afternoon a new situation In the
Injunction question was placed before Judge
Kohlsaat when attorneys for the Scott
Transfer company asked for an order to
restrain the heads of the varloua union
from calling out the men who are work
ing for the transfer company. It wa
claimed that a conspiracy existed among
certain heads of teamster unions to call
out the employe of the Scott Transfer
company, which la also Incorporated under
West Virginia laws and that therefore the
protection of the United States should be
given. Judge Kohlsaat declared that the
Injunction prayed for wa too sweeping In
Its scope and directed that a modified, form
be presented to him tomorrow morning.
The strike spread; steadily throughout
the day, most of the tearaalurs going out,
however, were employed by small con
cerns. The sixty drivers of Hillmun & Co.,
a State street dry goods house, constituted
the largest accetmion to the ranks of the
strikers. There are now about 8.&00 team
sters on strike and tholr lnaotlon ha
largely deprived about 16.000 other meu
from work.
Package Delivery Suspended.
It waa impossible today to have a
package delivered to any address outside
of the downtown business section from
any of the large dry good store. Cus
tomers were told that delivery of large
parcels could not be made for a day or
two at moMt and they were strongly urged
to take small packages with thuin. Hun
dreds of people called In person and by
telephone at the headquarters of the re
tall department store driver union, asking
to have parcels delivered. One weman de
clured over the telephone that ihe had
