WASHINGTON. June 4. At a conference

nois, and Senators Elktns and Crane It
was suggested that the house might accept
the senate amendments to the railroad bill
and a conference avoided. It was said that
If this couise should be taken It would

The suggestion that the house accept the
senate amendments to the railroad bill met
with favor at the hand of some of the
democratic members of the house, who led
the fight against the measure In the
house. They pointed out that the senate
bill was a much better oms than that

standpoint and If republican leaders sin

NEW YORK, June 4 (Special Telegram.)
The stock market Is completely demoral
ized. Stocks of all kinds, standard, manip
ulative and inactive, have been raided to
the extent of $2)0,000,000 since last Monday.
Mainly It Is a slap at the national admin
istration for the present policy against the
railroads, but it has been assisted some
what In the withdrawal of Investor who
withdrew Involuntarily they were wiped
out.
Every day this week noted a steady de
cline In the market. Selling order have
come tumbling in upon the broker from
every direction. The entire list has been
and is still under fire. But, it I only tem
porary and many fortunes are going to be
made by those who are cleverly buying
upon the present Mump.
Union Pacific, United State Steel, Read
ing. Pennsylvania, all .led In the grand
tumble which swept down merrily, wiping
out account after account and leaving
stranded those small fry who will Insist, In
the face of all advice, to attempt a broker
age account upon a slender margin.
Work of Kings of Finance.
The kings of finance have been admin
istering a rebuke. They have been showing
President Taft and Attorney General Wick
eriham what they can do when ardjised.
Roughly estimated In four days' trading
prices were shaded off aa follows:
Central Leather lost 2; Chicago &
Northwestern, 4; Delaware & Hudson, 7;
Great Northern preferred, J; Louisville ft
Nashville, 7; Norfolk & Western, ft; Read
ing. 11; Southern Pacific, ; Missouri Pa
cific. 6W; Texas Land, ; Union Pacific," 7;
Steel, common, ; Chesapeake & Ohio, 4;
Denver & Rio Grande, 64 points.
i nese are merely a few of the more
prominent shares which suffered.
In the money market there Is not much
change. On the week's currency opera
tions New York banks made a net gain ,of
approximately $2,74S,O00. rFom the interior
there was taken In on balance $3,388,000,
that amount being lefts then the weekly
receipts recently reported. Offsetting this
gain was thf payment of $t43,000 to the
United States aubtreasury on the week's
account. The Interior' movement was
smaller than usual and the gain was drawn
by gold shipments into Canada early in
the week.
Approximately $6,133,000 was received from
the Interior, while $2,745,000 was shipped di
rect to the Interior from this center. The
receipts for new gold were $1,676,000. The
total gain from the interior aud on new
gold was nominally less than last week.
The Summer Outlook.
With the advent of summer the money
market is naturally more or less concerned
with the prospective demanda from the in
terior, necessary for the movement of
crops. For the last two years this has not
been so Important an operation as this
year. From the present Indications there
is going to.be a tightness tn money in the
late summer and fall.
A bond Issue by the United tSales treas
ury before congress convenes next De
cember seems Inevitable. This situation Is
created by the fact that the supreme court.
Instead of deciding the corporation tax
cases, restored them to the calendar for a
rehearing. The government had confidently
expected that the cases would be decided
In favor of the federal powers so that bond
provision must be made now to care for
the demand, which, otherwise, would have
been met by the tax receipts. However,
this Issue would not be of suffcient import
ance to cause much of a flurry In the bond
market.
All l-'rcl Uireuded.
The big Item this week wa. nt course,
the action of Attorney General Wickerrhani
in securing a federal injunction restraining
the western railroads from increasing rates.
This Is not a development which affects
any one s;em of lines. The railroad nnd
lndustilal institutions the nation over have
taken It upon themselves to fel offended at
the presumption of federal powers. Tread
ing closely upon the heels of this develop
ment came reports from the east, west,
south and north that this company and
that one would cancel Its orders for equip
ment on account of the government action.
These rumors were put into action very
cleverly. No railroad man of rerponslbllity
stood sponsor for them. Vice, President
I Gordon, of the New York Central, on the
contrary, raid:
"The report that we have cancelled
tfi.COO.OOO worth of equipment orders, is ab
solutely false. It is a lie, pure and simple.'-
However, a delegation of railroad men
will call upon President Taft next week,
as representatives of jrr b;g systems of
North America, nnd they will try to con
vince him of a course and tell him what
may happen In the future.

I . . v -
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June 4. Receivers
for the Jones Dry Goods company, one of
the largest retail general merchandise con
cerns In this part of the west, were ap
pointed by the federal court here today.
The liabilities are placed at $1,600,000 and
the assets at over $2,000,000. Henry L.
Rook, vice president of the wholesale dry
goods firm, of Burnham, Munger & Co.,
Kansas City, and Charles Campbell, vice
president of the Fidelity Trust company of
this city, who were named as receivers by
Judge John F. Phillips In the United State
district court, gave bond in the sum of
$400,0110. The receivers stated that the com
pany was solvent and that its business
would be continued without Interruption..
The action of the courts followed the
presentation of a bill In equity by Hollings
head & Campbell of New York City, note
brokers, who hold two of the company's
notes for $5,000 each. The petition assert
that the business is being poorly managed
and the action is taken to prevent small
creditors from securing Judgments and
thus jeopardizing the interests of all con
cerned. It la alleged that the company has
been spending large sums for realty and
for leases that should be placed in the
business. The Immediate cause of the re
ceivership is given as poor business, re
sulting from an unfavorable spring
weather, making it Impossible to meet the
obligations now which were maturing at
the rate of $T5.Ou0 a week.
The notes held by Holllneshead &. Cainp
but the petitioners asserted that .Immediate
action was deemed necessary to protect ail
interests and prevent the closing of the
business. The principal creditors are In
St. Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia and New
York.
Immediately after qualifying as receivers
today, Messrs. Root and Campbell Issued
a statement In which they declared that
the Jones Dry Goods company Is perfectly
solvent; that its stores would remain open.

LONDON, June 4 (Special Cablegram )
Mrs. Theodora Roosevelt, who has shared
the honors of Colonel Roosevelt abroad,
and who liss been exalted in a manner
which has fallen to few other American
women, is dellirhted with the royal recep
tion granted her everywhere, but she Is
secretly counting the days until the Statue
of Liberty breaks Into view from the ship
which will carry her'back to America. She
said so today, while she publtaly thanked tha
people of Great Britain and the continental
capitals for their many honors.
Mrs. Kooeevelt said that the part of the
trip which she enjoyed best was ths car
riage drive with her husband over the
route where they had spent' their honey
moon years sgo. She was also greatly In
terested in looking at the old church where
she and Colonel Roosevelt were married
in London. She said It had changed but
very little.
Hailed everywhere, where honors were
showered thick and fast upon the head of
her distinguished husband, Mrs. Roosevelt
came in for complimentary receptions with
out end. ,
o Chance to Re Homesick.
To use the expression that was - mad
famous by her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt Is
"delighted." She says her time has been
taken up so greatly In attending great af
fairs planned In her honor that she hss
had but little time to grow homesick, al
though she will feel very happy when she
sees once again the shores of her native
land,
"America for Americans, always, and al
ways especially, for American women,"
said Mrs. Roosevelt today, after she had
consented to discuss certain phases of her
triumphant Journey through Europe.
"I believe that one is made a better
American by a trip through Europe. Though
the countries of the continent have delight
ful scenery, the people are polite and su
litiou. everything is cheap and plenty, but
there Is something lacking; something in
tangible, which makes Americans feci Ilk

Mrs. Roosevelt laughed gaily If I were

treated any better.

"Being an American, my view of things
was a little different from that of a foreign
woman, perhaps. While the honor were
not unexpected, I did not anticipate so
many. To an European woman they must
have been taken somewhat as a matter of
course. To me it was a grand panorama,
Just like a description of some of the scene
In olden days. There was not a thing to
mar the pleasure of the trip at any place
or at any time. The kings and queens to
whom I have been introduced are the most
delightful people imaginable. Queen Alex
andra Is a splendid woman. It is no wonder
the English people love her so much. Shs
is a woman of beautiful character. In her
affliction she is endeared even closer to the
hearts of her people.
