New York, Dec, 26. Tbe stock mar
ket opened in good tone, with specula

prominent, and nearly all active lists
made rapid advances. Some realizing

afternoon there was less excitement on
tbe stock exchange, bat the market was

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

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

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.

The southern part of Josephine coun

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 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.

The Castner Coal & Coke Company

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.

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
