From Our Wall-Street Correspondent. NEW YORK, May 11. Many persons con sidered stocks cheap at the closing figures of last evening, and so began to purchase at the very opening this morning, the buying eausini; an advance ot la3 per cent, but before' noou the bears returned to the assault and clipped the market of nearly all the advance It had made. i Opinions are useless In such a condition of affairs as that through which the stock market is now passing. The oldest heads on the street regard it as simply a huge gamble, In which, there being no opposition, the players can knock down all the ten-plus they please.

It is entirely a one-sided game, and when the turn Is to come is only known to the players. If we take the prices of a couplof months back and compare with to-day, we find a decline In suk'ks oi rrom a to 43 points, ana mis too, in tho face of a 4 per cent, money market and railway and other corporate earnings almost without a parallel. The fact appears Incredible, yet it Is a fact, nevertheless; aud one not easy of solution. The shin had a thoroughly bear crow on board nearly all day, and not even a bull's eye lism was visinie in any part until near tne close. The stocks sold thus far this week could have been sold two months ago at a difference lu favor of the holders of over $10,000,000.

In the final sales there was a rally of la2 per ct. sinning was advanced to 4.hk ana 4.8y, on scarcity of outside bills, which sold up as high as 4.84 for commercial on bank. Documents were 4.34a4.83X. Before the advance In city bankers next to prime sold at 4.85 and 4.88, and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Company's bills were offered at The Paris rates were also strong. A bill has passed both branches of the Legis lature giving holders of Southern defaulted securities the right to sue States through the attorney-general.

Much interest is felt concerning the Governor's action on the bill, but in weii-inrormed quarters it Is believed he will sign It. Cotton goods are feeling the further fall In the raw article, and prices for May styles have been reduced without leading to any marked increase of business.

Fatal ConOict with Settlers in Call- f'ornia. San Francisco, May 11. From an Interview with the railroad authorities ot this city it Is learned that M. D. Hart and W.

J. Crow had purchased, some three years ago, certain lands from the railroad company in Tulare county, the settlers on which refused to surrender pos session, and yesterday United States ilaralial Pool went down for that purpose, taking with him Mr. Clark, agent of the company, to point out the pieces of land in dispute, Hart and Crow accompanying them. The following was received by the company from Pool this after noon "I put Hart In possession ot the tract. He and Crow followed Clark and I to another sec tion, where met defendant, Storer, who talked with Crow about compromising.

Storer rode off, saying he would see his partner and what he thought of It. Soon after he left about forty mounted men made toward us. I left my buggy with Clark and advanced; to meet tnem. Alter a Drier conversation wttn me they suddenly covered me with rifles and pistols. Some of them code rapidly towards the wagon occupied by Crow and Hart.

One of the horses struck my leg with his root and threw me down. Am not certain who fired first. Think three, possibly four, settlers were killed and one or two wounded. Hart was shot in the groin fatally. I think Clark and myself not hurt.

A. W. Pool, U. S. Marsnal.

It is further learned that after the shooting occurred the settlers ran the telegraph ope rator at Halford Depot, who is also agent of the railroad company, out of town, and there has been no telegraphic communication with that place since noon, but news is momentarily ex pected from runners dispatched to the nearest station on the main line of the Southern Pacific. A dispatch from Ylsalla says Crow was snot and instantly Killed. Tnree settlers were Killed and four wounded. Hart was fatally shot. Great excitement prevails over the affair.

Manassas and Orange and Alexandria bonds were entirely nominal, the former closing held at 81, with 79 hid.

The depression in these bonds Is partly attributed to the knowledge that an injunction bad been Issued by Judge Christian, of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, forbidding the sale, for the present, of the Virginia Midland Railroad. Under the 'scheme for reorganization the sale was to have taken place on the 13th Inst. It is understood that the holders of much the larger amount of all the obllga-tions of the Virginia Midland Company have agreed to the proposed reorganization, and that the opposition represents only a comparatively small interest.

1 By Atlantic Cables. I Leading: Invents nnd Topics Abroad. i BRITISH POLITICS. London, May ll. Mr.

Gladstone's letter ex plaining that his animadversions on the for eign policy of Austria, were based upon misconception of the facts and the letter to P. M. G. Fawcett recalling his statement regarding the government's information relative to the Indian budget deficit severely criticised by the Morning Post, Dally Telegraph, Standard and Times as humiliating and damaging confessions. Tue Times says the correspondence between Mr.

Gladstone and Count Karcdyl Is probably unprecedented in tne annals of modern diplo macy. It is far from desirable that occasions should frequently arise for such apologetic ex planations as Mr. tiiadstone offers. Mr. (ilad- stone's language in Midlothian, If left without withdrawal or explanation, must have ren dered his intercourse with Count Karolyl unpleasant to both.

Any interruption of diplomatic relations or change of Austria's repre sentation was for every reason to be deprecated. fortunately tne dimcuity lias been ended by the complete and gracefully-worded amende Mr. Gladstone has made. Nevertheless, the form of the explanation shows how Inexpedient it is that there should ever have been occasion for it. The Morning Post says: "It is Quite unprece dented to have to place before the public two such documents as the letters of Mr.

Fawcett and Mr. Gladstone. The liberal majority, large as It Is, may disappear In other places, as It na3 vamsuea at uxiora, it blown upon by a change of wind, such as might bo broughwibout Dy these lamagmg confessions." The Dally Telegraph says: "Unless the new ministry are more careful they may go down to history as the cabinet of apologies. Hardly had It been constituted before the postmaster-general Is seen doing public penance for rash accusation, and now the literature of diplomacy Is supplied with a document at once unprecedented and undesirable, In which the prime minister or England is round making the amende honorable, to the Austrian representative, for expressions used amidst the excitement of the recent general elections." The Standard says "The country will peruse with vexation and shame one of the most extraordinary productions that ever emanated Irom the pen of a public man. It is humiliating to have to add that the writer Is the prime minister ot England." i The Standard's Vienna corrrespondent reports that the majority of the newspapers consider Mr.

Gladstone's letter satisfactory to Austria. It is regarded as a full recognition of and Complete victory for Baron Von Hay merle's policy. The Berlin National Zeltnng says the letter is one of the most extraordinary documents ever Issued from Downing street, and is a bad one for the foreign policy ot the new government. THB ENGLISH CIRCULAR NOTE. London, May 12.

The Tlmes's dispatch from Vienna says: "The much-talked-of English circular note drawing the attention of tho powers to the unexecuted points of the Berlin treaty has been Issued, but does not appear to have that general character It was supposed it would have, for it specifies questions which, according to the opinion of the British cabinet, ought to engage the attention of the powers, namely, he Montenegrin, Greek and Armenian BISMARCK'S DEFEAT. The Times has the following from Berlin "The recommittal of the Elbe navigation bill on the third reading last night was a reversal of the vote of the Reichstag on Herr von Ben-ningsen's motion on the second reading, and is a decided defeat for the government. On the second reading, Reichstag struck out clause 4, containing provision for removal of the existing customs frontier, which is the same thing in effect as making the declaration proposed by Herr Delbruck, though the latter was formerly negatived. The upshot of the whole business is that the Reichstag has been prorogued without ratifying the government measures agreed upon with Austria, and the old treaty continued in force." ALBANIA AND MONTENEGRO. A Ragusa dispatch to the Manchester Guardian says the Porte no longer controls the Albanians.

They declare their intention to invade Montenegro and take Podgoritza. The state of affairs in Montenegro Is deplorable. The crops failed last year, and now, Just at the sowing season, the whole population is called to defend the frontier. The Prince of Montenegro declares that unless his people can return to the fields within 10 days a famine will be Inevitable. A Vienna dispatch to tho Standard says: "Four thousand horses, 6,000 Martini rifles and 130,000 cartridges have lately arrived at Scutari tor the use of the Albanians, who now occupy the whole territory from Scutari and Prisrend to Kavaja.

Turkish officers and men are everywhere fraternizing with The Tlmes's Constantinople dispatch says trustworthy news has been received from Scutari that the whole of Northern Albania is In arms. The authorities seem to have lost all power. Scutari has already sent 1,200 men to the Insurgents, and the entire population capable of bearing arms is ready to turn out In case of need.

John Drew, lessee, for the act ot one of the em ployes of the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, for electing a colored man, named John Peer, and his wife, from the theatre. Peer and his wife, having purchased tickets In advancement to the theatre, ana were aoout entering tne door, when the ticket agent called to an employe, "Clear them niggers away." The em ploye pushed against them. Peer and his wife resisted, but finally they were hustled outside, The suit, with the result above stated, followed. She took the case to the Supreme Court, alleg ing that there had been a mistake in the form of the action, and that the plaintiffs were only entitled to a verdict for two dollars, the amount paid for the two tickets. The court of last re sort, In an opinion by Justice Sterrett, sustains the judgment or the lower court.

The iuage, after remarking that the right action had been brought, says: "Whether the tickets conferred merely a license, or someimng more, is lmma torial. If they gave only a license to enter the theatre and remain there during tne perrorm- ance, it is very clear that the agents of the de- lendant nad no right to revoKe it, as tney aid, and summarily eject Peer and his wife from the building insuch a manner as to injure her. We incline to tho opinion, however, that as purchasers and holders of tlcsetsfor particular seats they had more than a mere license. Their right was more In the nature ot a lease, en titling them to peaceable Ingress and egress, and exclusive possession of the designated seats during the performance on that particular evening.
