The Wall Street Panic Knded-Ileallslng Sales Cause at ll.trograde Movement American Securities Advancing In the English Markets. New York, Dec, 26. Tbe stock mar ket opened in good tone, with specula tion very brisk. There was good bay ing, in which foreign houses were prominent, and nearly all active lists made rapid advances. Some realizing sales caused a-retrograde movement, and declines were recorded from to 9 per cent The market, however, was fairly steady, snd there were no indications of panioky condition. The depression which came on tbe market at 10: IS oontinaed a boat ball an boar, the extreme decline being in sugar, whioh foil 2 1,' cents. At 10:16 prices were again moving upward, Pullman selling at 6 por cent and others at from to 3 per cent adavnoe. Money has ranged between 6 and 25 per oou t on actual transactions, bnt at one time was 85 per oent, with no bnslnoss. The rate at noon was 20 per oent, and at 12:00 200,000 was loaned at 20 per oent Loans have been made on dividend-paying stock at 6 percent Gould, Hall & Company snspended today as a result of the slump in the stock market Friday and Saturday.

At 1 0 'dock this afternoon there was less excitement on tbe stock exchange, bat the market was still ousettled. There was a disposi tion to take a more hopeful view of the Venezuelan question politically, but grave apprehension is felt regard ing the financial outlook of the United States. There was not much improve ment in foreign government securities. The American railroad market, wbiob was very excited at tbe opening, was quieter at 1 o'clock. In fact the pan icky fooling seems to have given way to one of more oonfidenoe. On tbe Liveprool and Manchester and Glasgow E. MoNEILL, Receiver.

Await further News. London, Deo. 26. The afternoon pa pers today, comment editorially at length on the Venezuelan matter, but their remarks are on the financial rather than the political phase. While there is no abatement of expressions of belief that tbe ground taken by tbe United States is untenable, the tone is altogether more paoiflo. Yet there is considerable display of satisfaction at financial difficulties in the United B tales. Business daring tbe day was exeed- Ingly quiet on the exchange. Operators geuorally were disposed to await fur ther news from the United States. American stocks, however, closed steady; Brazilians particularly heavy. Reaction In Hoston, Boston, Deo. 20. There was a no ticeable reaction from the panicky con dition of last week's market at the opening this morning. It is believed tbe worst is over. Tbe advance in prices noted daring the first few min utes of business was not seriously broken, and a feeling of greater con fidence was apparent THE STRIKE ENDED. Basle of Settlement Reached bjr the Company and Striking Employes. Philadelphia, Deo. 26. Tbe great trolly strike is ended. This is the flnaL John Wannamaker is the man who brought about the settlement He was aided by members of the Chirstian League. The basis of the settlement is as follows: First While the Union Traction Company will treat only with the workmen in its employ, it will allow them membership in any lawful organ ization. Seoond It will take up their greiv- ancea and give them full and fair con sideration. Third It will immediately pat on the old men as fast ss vacancies arise; will give preference to any of the old men yet unemployed, and endeavor to arrange tbe trips of the cars to favor the old men as far as possible without violating its contract with the new men. Tbe questions of compensation and hours are loft for future determina tion. , Concessions were made by both sides. The battle has been mainly fought on the question of the employes' member ship in tbe Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes, whioh the company has persistently refused to recognize. The new men engaged sinoe the strike beagn number nearly 1,000. There were about 6,000. strik ers. Tiiey will report lor work tomor row morning. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. Movement to Substitute the I'opalar vote for the Electoral College. New York, Deo. 20. A local paper says: T. M. Curtin, a cousin of tbe late Andrew Curtin, who was governor of Pennsylvania, and a relative of Jere miah Curtin, who for many years was connected with the United States lega tion at bt Petersburg, is preparing to spend (100.000 to secure an amend ment to tbe constitution of the United States. Most of the money will come from Mr. Cartin's own pocket Tbe balance will be given by two friends, who are earnest believers in his projeot and who have tbe utmost faith in his ability to accomplish his object Mr. Curtin and his private secre tary are at present visiting friends In this city. The amendment to the con stitution for whioh Mr. Curtin is now working is the election of the presi dent by a popular vote instead of by a oollege of electors. After he has accomplished this, as he feels sure he will, he intends to work for a change by whioh United States senators will also be chosen by popular vote. Such a change, Mr. Curtin thinks, would be of great bene fit to the country and would prevent much injustice from whioh the people are now suffering. As a first step toward bringing about the change, Mr. Curtin and his friends are about to establish a bureau in Washington through which an expression of opin ion as to tbe best man to be nominated for president by the leading parties will be secured. This bureau will be opened In a few days and will be at work until after tbe Democratic and Repulbloan conventions. WATCHMAKER GROWING RAPIDLY. DOVELOPMENT OF NORTHWEST INDUSTRIES. Discovery of Coal In Grant County The Gold Yield of Josephine Connty la Larger Than for Maajr Tears East Kootenai OU Excitement Oregon. Long Creek has been having great re ligious revivals. Over 100 conversions are reported. Mutton sheep are being purchased in Southern Oregon for Portland markets for from $1.25 to fl.60 per bead. The discovery of coal in great abundance in Grant county is reported. It is lignite in obaraoter. If true, the extension of tbe railroad to the mine is the near future is probable. The southern part of Josephine coun ty will yield more gold this season than for many years past Old mines are being operated that have lain idle for a long time, and everything points toward a revival of the mining indus try. Some years ago Frank Dekum, of Portland, procured from Europe a large number of nightingale songsters, which were turned loose through the state. They are said to be thriving and are now in districts where they are seen for the first time. Railroad rumors are rife on the Lower Klamath. A party of seven or eight men were discovered last week from Eureka with transits, levels and all tbe apparatus neoeassry for making a preliminary survey. After a few days they returned to Eureka. The following is given as Oregon's gold yield by counties for 1804: Baker, $447,996.72; Benton, $2,046; Coos, $106,863.77; Crook, $1,050; Curry, $8,800; Douglas, $670,879.88; Grant, $128,868.00; Hasney, $1,600; Jackson, $167,446; Josephine,$143, 676.61; Lane, $32,600; Linn, $2,000; Malheur, $18,- 600; Marion, $982.88; Union, $1,- 059,070; total, $3,218,856.42. A Umatilla county stockman says that it looks worse for stockmen' in that section than any time for a great many years. There is no grass on the range, owing to the dry summer, and there was no bay to speak of grown on tbe uplands. There is no bunch grass at present and they cannot sell any cattle or sheep ss they are too poor for beef or mutton. He believes that a large number of cattle, horses and sheep will stirve this winter. It is re ported in tbe sheep district that the scab is spreading. The oenana roll of Wallowa oonntv came to hand in thS secretary of state's offloe, and a cursory inspection of its contents reveals the following facta to tbe credit of that distant "Docket borough:' With a total population of 8,980, she has 1,175 legal voters; wood, 836,190 pounds; sheep, 63,902; hogs, 4,216; horses, 7,650; mules, 80; cat tle, 16,095; acres of land in cultiva tion, 25,187; wheat raised, 115,685 bushels; oats, 78,880; barley and rye, 70,223; oorn, 674; hay, 20,639 tons; butter and cheese, 71,006 pounds; po tatoes, 81,992; bushels apples, 2,960 busheis; prunes and plums, 1,149 bushels; poultry, 1,980 dozen; bacon, 85,800; pounds; gold, 40 ounces, and 926,000 feet of lumber. 'Washington. The flouring mill at Asotin has been destroyed by fire with a loss of $6,000. Hillyard has at last been deolared in corporated by the commissioners of Spokane county. A brick building has been begun in Walla Walla. It will be used for a bottling works. North Takima is bidding for a scouring mill and cloth factory. One of her citizens has gone East to inter est oapitaL An organized effort is being made among the shingle manufacturers in Eastern Washington to olose the mills down for two months so as to strengthen prioes in Eastern markets. Various oounty asooiations are being organized and it is believed the movement will suooeed. The fate of the state capitol building is to be in tbe hands of the supreme court Preparations for legal formal! ties are now in progress, on aooont of the' passage of the following resolu tlons by the state capitol oommision Wheraa, It appears to the state capitol commission that the said commission can dispose of the warrants on the "state capitol building fund" for the full amunt of the unexpended appropri ation tor tbe said state capitol at par in cash issued on the letting of the oontraot for the superstructure of the capitol building for whioh bids are cr will be invited, and that by so doing the completion of the said building wholly and solely from said "state capitol fund" and wthout resort to any other fund of the state is insured, and the oontraot price for the said letting can be reduoed several thousand dol lars and the said sum saved to tbe state, and without so doing said oontraot can not be let! therefor be it resolved, That on the letting of the oontraot the commission, with the consent of the contractors, issue to the auditor its oer tifloate or certificates, directing the au ditor to Issue warrants on tbe state capitol building fund payable to the order of the contractor, to be indorsed by the contractor, and to be delivered as so indorsed by the auditor in ex change for oasb at not less than par, said certificate or certificates and war rants to be for a sum or sums not ex oeedung the amount of the appropria tion still unexxpended; said moneys realized by tbe commission from the said warrants to be held by the state treasurer solely to be disbursed upon certificates igned by the board upon and with vouchers duly presented, passed apon, examined and allowed in the method proivded In section 14 of chap ter 188, laws of 1898, certifying that tbe services have been rendered and material furnished, and that the per son therein named is entitled to be paid the amount therein named, and said certificates to be audited and al lowed by tbe tate auditor. The su preme court will be asked to pass upon tbe legality of the action which the above resolution calls for, and it is un derstood that an effort will be made to have this matter made a special fea ture and acted upon at once. In tbe opinion of Assistant Attoreny-Gensral James A. Haight, the immediate sale of the warrants for cash can be legally made. The state land commission has invested $160,000 of the permanent school fund in state wararnta. This amount, together with tbe sum already invested in county bonds and the amount drawing interest on contracts to purchase school lands, will make the whole sum of the permanent fund now drawng interest about $2,000,000. Montana. The Castner Coal & Coke Company are going to put in a $22,000 electrical plant at Great Falls for lighting pur poses. Tbe season- just closed has been a fairly profitable one to the cattlemen of Montana. Over 147,000 head were shipped over the Great Northern road and the average price was $36 per head. Congressman Hartman wants an In dian industrial school opened at Keogh reservation at Miles iCty and wants $75,000 for that purpose, $40,000 of which is to be used for buildings. One hundred and fifty men are at work at Clancy preparing the grounds and foundations for the buildings to be erected there for the use of the Great Northern railroad. A steam plow is in operation there andthe workh is pro gressing rapidly. It is calculated by the most con servative business men of Butte that the present payroll for labor alone in that camp exceeds the enormous sum of $800,000 per month. That sum of money is sufficient to maintain and keep booming a city four times the present size of Butte. The capitol building commissioners expect soon to establish tbe validity of tbe warrants issued by the board, and will then make an effort to dispose of them to the bankers of the state. Sev eral prominent bankers have already shown a disposition to aooept the war rants at par, provided they are valid, the commissioners say. Idaho. The railroad mileage of the state is nearly 1.C00 miles. Idaho has 718,889 sheep, whioh are assesed at $1 per head. The 1 contractors of the Mink creek canal have aooeptedone piece of the work, and have just let another con tract. J. F. Gaffney, the reoeiver of the bank of Genessee, has taken charge of the defunct institution. Tbe assets snd liabilities of the bank have been invoiced by the sheriff. An electrio light plant is to be erected at Canyon creek for the purpose of supplying lights at Burke and Gem, and intermediate points. Water power will be used from Canyon creek. TLl new city of Nes Perce is making rapid progress. At present there are eight or ten buildings in the course of erection. Contracts have been made by persons who have leased the saw mill to deliver 1,000,000 feet ot lumber to the town site by January 1. About twenty buildings have been erected so far, but further progress has been re tarded owing to the oold weather. British Columbia. A new sawmill has been built at Wellington. A smelter company has been organ ized to oommenoe operations early in the year at Grand Forks. The plant will be similar to that now being erect' ed at Trail. The surface indications in the oil fields in East Kootenai are considered good. Two different qualities of oil jave been obtained. On Kishneena oreek, a short distance north of the in ternational boundary line, black oil similar to the Pennsylvania and Ohio oils, is found. But on Sage orek, some eight miles north, there is found an oil that is nearly pure, of a light yellow oolor, whioh will burn in a lamp as it oomes from the ground. Close by there is natural gas escaping from bedrock whioh burns freely on ignition. Some of the oil sent to the geolbgioal museum at Ottawa, caused considerable exoitement and oomment, and was pronounoed a fraud on ao- ; oount of its purity. INSURGENTS ADVANCE THE CAPITAL CITY OF CUBA IN IMMINENT DANGER. A a Amy ol 13,000 Insurgents March on to Havana la Spit of the Efforts of Captain-General Martlnes do Cantpoa A Cuban Victory. Havana, Dec. 27. Further details reached here today from Matanzas of tbe rapid advance of tbe insurgent army, numbering about 12,000 men, upon Havana after forcing its way through the province of Santa Clara and into the provinoe of Matanzas, in spite of the efforts of Captain-General Martinez de Campos and about 8,000 troops at his disposal in the territory invaded. The reported important battle be tween the Spaniards under Campos and the insurgents at Coliaeo plantation, twelve miles from Cardenas, does not appear to have been a very severe . engagement Cardenas is a seaport, and quiet an important place for Cuba, of about 40,000 inhabitants. It is only twelve miles from Matanzas, the capi tal of the provinoe of that name, and . tbe largest town between Cardenas and Havana. The Spanish forces do not appear to have encountered the main body of the insurgents, as at first announced. The fight at the Coliaeo plantation was be tween a portion of the northern column of the insurgent columns, now pushing through the provinoe of Matanzas, and instead of turning out to be a great victory for the Spaniards, the result of the engagnement was virtually a de feat for Campos' forces, for the Cuban army pushed onward unchecked, and is still advancing on the city. The fighting took place amid burning cane, underwood, tall grass and trees, and was of the usual guerilla nature. At times both the troops and insur gents were surrounded by walls of flames, and tbe smoke was so dense over certain portions of the ground con tested that the Cubans and tbe troops were unable to see each other, and kept banging away at open .space, wasting good ammunition. It is true that this indiscriminate ring was more noticed upon the part of the troops than on the side of the insurgents, but for one in surgent killed, at least 2,000 shots must have been fired. The Cubans, following their customary taction, seemed to melt away into the distance as soon as the troops got within fight ing distance of them, and nealry all the firing was at very long range, al though the soldiers made several gal lant charges through the burning terri tory. This style of fighting is termed a defeat for the insurgents, but as they succeeded in accomplishing their object holding the Spaniards in check while the Cuabns pushed on southward the result was really a Cuban victory. The captain-general was as near to the front as possible throughout the battle, enoouraging the troops by words and actions. One of the captain-general's orderlies, who was sitting on his horse beside Campos, received a bullet in his breast and fell to the ground badly wounded. The shot was, no doubt, intended for the Spanish commander. STRATHNEVIS IS SAFE. The Diaabled Steamship Baa Reached Fort Townsend. Port Townsnd, Wash., Dec. 27. Tbe steamship Strathnevis, which sailed from Taooma October 12 for the Orient and was about given up for lost, ar rived in port at 10 o'clock last night, in tow of the steamer Mineola. The officers report a remarkable voyage, one filled with danger and privations, and Monday afternoon last all hope of sav ing the vessel was abandoned, and life rafts and boats were manned, and pre parations made for leaving the vessel, as she was in imminent danger of drifting ashore on Destruction island, where certain death stared them in the face. Now that tbe Strathnevis is safe, grave fears are entertained for the safety of tbe Australian steamship Miowera, which had the Strathnevis in tow for five days. The captain of the Miowera personally assured the chief officer of the disabled steamship that his vessel would stand by at all hazards to render assistance in saving lives. Ten miles oft Cape Flattery last Friday afternoon, during a violent gale, the two steel hawsers parted suddenly, and the Miowera disappeared in the storm. The Miowera had the Strathnevis in tow five days and had exhausted the larger part of her fuel. The master told the captain of the Strathnevis that tbe Miowera would have to return to Puget sound for coal. Montana Mlnlns; Dividend. Helena. Deo. 27.
