Burger and Prof Bacon, instructor in science, rushed into the hall and upon the platform and de stroyed the speaker's manuscript Be fore the faculty could Interfere twenty five students werer piled up In a football heap on the stage in a rough-and-tumble tussle. A number received severe bruises Willis' clothing was almost completely torn off before order was restored.

New York ....? 59% 59% Call money, New York 31^, 3-4^ .NEW-YORK, May U.— A final spurt of i I activity and strength in the stock market j I was al! that saved the fitfy Trom being j 1 the dullest, in the . amount >of business I dene . since the . November election. As ! it was, business was well down towards 1 the minimum, and ■ was ■ besides ■ largely < congested in a" few stocks. The Tobacco i stocks, American - and \ Continental were I the feature of the market. The volume of business in them grew as the ad vance progressed, and all of the room traders,.hungry for a .stock that-would move- asily .tailed onto the_jy,ovemenu . By bidding up prices smartly, uiey ascer- j tamed that very few sell.ng urdeis for ths I stock were in the market above the pie- j vailing price level. These technical conditions were respon- I sible for the movements of the stocks so I far as ary news that was published', I would - indicate. .^Something ia .made of I the; fact -that the new tobacco company j which Is being organized has representa | tives in it who organized an opposition I company once before which was ab j sorbed m a short time by the American I company. The day"s gain registered for | American Tobacco was 8 points, and for i Continental Tobacco 4%. The final | j strength of the market "was due to this ! movement and to the late accentuation I of strength In other stocks which had j shown signs, of steadiness earlier in the I day. The weak points were also pulled I up so that the losses, which were at one j time very general were either wiped out ior greatly reduced all around. The j Erics, the Wabashes, '• Missouri Pacific I and Atchison were good points of resist ; ance all day. The story persisted that I efforts waru. making- to : secure a trunk line outlet for the Gould Southwestern railroads and Wabash; that the great trunk line proprietors had protested 1 : again3t this project, and that it had been I threatened that Atchison would be ab- I sorbed by the Pennsylvania In retalia i lion. Thl3 story and its variations will j be found closely related to - whatever i 3lrength was shown In the day's market. The movement of Union Pacific was a notable influence on the whole' market its break to 9S being the principal factor in the early weakness of the market and •Its recovery at the close relieving th© depression. The forecast of a strong j bank statement, promising a recupera tion in cash by the banks 'of nearly 000 000, was a revivifying-influence, although there has been no lack of money to loan. The fact that no furth*>r : kold was en gaged for export was also a strengthen ing factor, not only • for its immedate bearing . upon the situation, but in its larger significance as indicating a reiaxu-' tion in the whole foreign ironey situa tion. Yesterday's large purchase of new ly, arrived gold in the, open market in London by th Bank of England was the j signal that the pressure for gold at con ! tlnental centers had relaxed; that the re i quirements in Paris for the Russian loan | had been satisfied, and that the country was free to recuperate Its monay mar ket and. prepare for. some large future needs. This is a notable relief to the ! whole financial world; i and is incidental ly a striking testimony to the strong po | sition of the Bank of Franc,■. which has | been able to provide fprjthe ""ssian loan , with a much lighter recour . ' han was expected to the foreign.'.cr^lits"of the Paris money market. Tfie! cessation of the -urgent demand for North^rh-Paciiic also relieved apprehensions. The result was an active and firm vclose In the stock market after a day of feeble and desul tory fluctuations/. "V .V ..• The bond markef' was irregular and only moderately active.

CATTLE—Stock and feeding catltle prices suffered a heavy decline this week the drop coming on Tuesday when re ceipts were unusually heavy and indica tions pointed to a drouth. The decline, which was general, amounted to a flat 25 cents on the good quality cattle, and 2~> to 50 cents on the common and scrub stuff. The heavy rainfall of Wednesday and yesterday was a decided help to the market and, as a result, the yards are well cleared of tho good quality cattle ■with prices generally strong at the de cline. In the last two days considerable common stuff has also been moved, but prices h.'ive been very low. Butcher cat tle offerings formed a very small per centage of the receipts and all kinds af killing stuff has been selling quickly at steady to strong prices. Cood to choice milch cows ara active at unchanged steady, while the others hold fairly well It la Impossible at present to tell on what basis the combinations will be made, but we advised the Colorado Southern at - present quotation!! as dis tinctly cheap and we think that It has a good future and is a stock in which suc cessful bull operations can be . made at very moderate risk."
