SMALL TOTAL OF NET GAINS Tone ot Market Ranges Steady to Irregular at the Close Copper Stocks Exhibit Some Strength. NEW YORK, June 19. The stock mar ket opened today with some show of activity and strength, but these promises were not fulfilled, although the undertone remained moderately strong. Dealings In the first hour fairly large, but they fell down to minor proportions in the suc ceeding hours, with a small total of net gams. Coal shares supplied the bulk ot the early business at higher prices. . In the early afternoon the market eb came extremely dull, with spasmodio movements 1 some of the obscure issues and amalgamated copper, the latter be ing assisted by rumors of another ad vance in tho price of copper mewl, the second In two days. Another helpful fac tor in the copper stocks was the strength of these securities abroad. In the final hour, when trading became a trifle more animated, interborough met ropolitan preferred was advanced on an nouncement that the interborough Rapid Transit company had declared an extra dividend of per cent part of which ac crues to the benefit ot the first named security. The tone of the market at the close ranged steady to Irregular. Among the minor securities Wabash I uuiiuun anu prcierrea were prominent for their acute weakness, the one selling at the lowest price in its history, and the other touching the lowest Quotation In years. The reorganization plan of the Wabash is likely to be issued soon, and it is a foregone conclusion that both classes of stock will be heavily assessed. me aa.nK or England received over $1,000,000 gold, but shipped almost double that amount to Berlin, where financial pressure shows but slight relaxation. Time money was a bit firmer here. some of the larger institutions placing ninety-day loans at 3 per cent com pared with bids of 3 per cent the day Derore. There was some lending of sixty- day money at 3 per cent with no demand for shorter periods. The heaviness of New York city issues was the feature of today's bond market, with an uncertain movement elsewhere. Total sales par value $1,176,000. Panama 3's declined per cent on call.

Advices from Chicago and some other selling points indicated a lower range of pi Ices, and buyers here were inclined to hold back and await developments before doing very muoh business, it was in tact very ap parent that they had all of them made up their minds to buy the cattle a little lower than yesterday. On tne other nana receiDts were very lieht. the total for the three days amounting to only 7,000 head, a falling off as compared , with the tight receiDts oi last week ana a decrease oi over 3,000 head as compared with a year ago. This light run made sellers rather strong in their views so that they were not inclined to take oil anytning, dui held back for good, firm prices. This attitude on the part ot sellers contributed still more to the dulii oi tne traoe. It appeared, however, Liat buyers really wanted the cattle, ana nere ana mere they began picking up such stuff as es pecially suited them, and it was not long before tne big bulk oi tne came naa changed hands. In spite of the fact that buyers had evidently maae up tneir minus to buy the cattle lower, as notea aDove, in the end they paid prices that were Just about steady with yesterday, so that the cattle market as a whole so far aa beef steers were concerned cou.d best be described as .a slow, steady market The offerings of cows and hellers were very moderate this morning and the mar ket generally steaay witn yesieraay. While the trade was not very acilve, the receipts for the most part changed hands in good season. There were only . a tew - scattering bunches of stackers and feeders and the trade on that kind ot stock was i:ot ma terially changed from what it nas been during the last few days.

CE0WD MERCILESS TO SPEAKERS Chairman's Gavel Beats Incessantly While Shoots and Jeers Inter rupt the Orators la High est Flights. By ANTHONY SI. EASITERLING. CHICAGO, June 19.-SpeciaJ Telegram.) -When I walked into the Coliseum to day to witness my first national political convention, the confusion incident to the attempt of 12,000 patrlotlo souls to voice the glory of their patriotism and enthusi asm or this land of the free, indicated that there might be chaos, riot revolu tion and bloodshed, as had been foretold by the political prophets. A prayer was said and Chairman Rosewater called the convention to order. Being innocent of political wisdom I could not now venture to say precisely what happened after that' . . ? Governor Hadley ot Missouri had climbed over the ropes around the speakers platform and was voclferlously protesting, against what was about to happen. Francis J. Heney was prepar ing a vocal kick, worded after the rough fashion employed by the colonel and delivered In an Abe-Ruef-case manner. Back where the representatives of the people ' sat and prompted, a colored brother was seeking earnestly to convince his unenlightened brethren the country's "infernal prosperity" depended on the Issues to be fought out within the next thirty minutes. There was a great hubbub . and this was Increased to a tumult when EHhu Root and Governor McGovern were nominated for temporary chairman. Events Easier to Follow, Tho innocent from Nebraska could thereafter follows the logic of events with greater comprehension. These) events consisted chiefly of a succession of "I am honored Indeed and consider H rare 'privilege to be able to second tho nomination," etc. Each delegate who felt it incumbent upon him to praise tho nominees was given an unstinted portion of applause, scorn or tolerance aa the mood of the spectators dictated. But it neither squelched or elated him. Ha would talk right on waiting calmly ft silence when the discord drowned tho sound of his oratorical effort The crowd was merciless. A flv. tongued champion of a fearless, honor, able, upright and indispensable candi date, cause or condition, would be ln tho middle of the most eloauent oeroratlon he bad been able to frame within the space of two or three weeks, 'when tw would come a long-dsawn, soul-racking; .. f t,rotva. un, come on, recite us some poetry,", somebody would shout in mock sincerity. "Na-w, tell us a funnv tnr would be a third recommendation. " Sit down," would be the mandate of several hundred, and when the distlnsruishni an. ator, governor, orator, politician or dele gate would show no Inclination to ohev. a concerted "boo" of great volume wohM greet his efforts to continue.

TONY D0NATT0, PLAIN HERO Deed of Railroad Track Walker Puts .name on the Roll of Honor. There Is a fresh mound in M. v. cemeteries of New Haven, Conn. A young wiaow. with three little ones cling ing to her knees, is trazine m.r - window somewhere In that city trying wun learDiinaea eyes to look into the future. To her, the knowledge man lying under that mound died the death of a hero does not mean much at this time. He was her husband, the father of her babies. And probably New Haven derstand. For Tony Donatto was merely an Italian track laborer working for the New. Haven Railroad comnanv did not wear the gold-bound uniform of an ocean steamship captain and as he did not stand on the bridge of sV miht liner, while he rushed it through fields of ice to the rescue of women and chil dren cast upon the mercy of the sea by a terrible disaster. He was not r..vi officer picked from among his fellows to take a ship through a storm of shot and shell to block the mouth of a har- bor where an enemy's fleet had taken refuge. Tony Donatto was not and inspired by the knowledge that the eyes or tne wona were upon him, but he was no less a hero than Rostron or Hobson. Tony Donatto was workine railroad track when a fast exnrea. troi approached. He and the other members . or tne gang lie was with stepped aside out ot danger. Tony saw that a tie had carelessly been left on the track. He sprang back and hurled it Into the ditch. But he could not save himself. The engine struck him. After a hri.c tho train sped on. It was only an Italian laborer who had been killed. The man and the deed will anm. k. forgotten. But when the recorrllnsr a r, trnl brings forth his roll of honor on tho last aay tne name of Tony Donatto will be found not far from the tnn.-ri.v. land Leader.
