The voting showed that Germany had with her Austria and Morocco, while eight representatives of the powers supported Sir Arthur KeJg-lum and Sweden announced that they would abide by the decision of the majority. One of the delegates then proposed that the police question be referred to a special committee, which should prepare a scheme and pubmlt It to the conference, but this proposition received a negative vote. The result of the vote on Sir Arthur N'icolsnn's proposal has caused something sensation, as It means that the delicate Franco-German contest over the policing of Morocco has been forced to a decisive issue In which both Pldeg will be compelled to enow their hands. Moreover, the vote cave some Indication of the strength of the two sides, bat this was not decisive, the question was rot upon the merits of the police.

Count Cassinl. the chief Kuesian plenipotentiary. Fays that he pins his faith on the happenings of the last hour, when both sides are face to face with the tremendous responsibility of the failure of the conference.

KUBELIK LI FES IX CAIi. Violinist Pays $50 and Eighteen Tickets a Day for Seclusion. If seclusion from publlo and his would-be friends at all times except when playing on concert Btage la part of Jan contract while In America, he has certainly succeeded In carrying it out to the letter, for he lives, eats. Bleeps and practises In a Pullman car especially adapted for his use. At present this horn's on wheels Edgemere Is shunted up against a row of sleepers and diners on one of a maze of tracks In the Pullman yards at lGlst street, in the suburb of Melrose.

"Some friends of mine came up here to see me yesterday," said he, "but they won't come again. They said so, and I don't think I blame them. You see. this car has been my home for six -weeks, and I ehall live In It for about ten weeks more.

It costs me fifty dollars a day and eighteen tickets, but it is infinitely better for my purpose than a hotel. I can sleep well, eat well, and have my little horn" to myself, avoiding all the trouble and expense of moving my baggage to and from the hotels. Ludwig Schwab is mv friend and accompanist, and we play chess after every meal. We have plenty of books to read. I have a fine large bed to bleep In, and a bath that Is a treat.

"It seems so odd for me to be playing In the Hippodrome to-morrow night. Of course, It Is a 'beautiful house, but the name for me Is so odd. My friends abroad will think that Kubellk Is playing in a circus. The acoustics, however, are pood. I tried it at rehearsal there to-day.

I all play in Providence on March 6, and in St. Louis, for the second time this tour, on March 8. Then I am to play in Western cities, always living: in my car. I am particularly fortunate In having one of my countrymen for cook. He has been thirty-five year's In America." Jan Kubellk's party on the car Include Carl Junkwrman, his secretary; a Mr.

Goldberg, a baggage man, a Hindoo valet and two colored waiters. Speaking of his present tour of America, violinist said that it was easier for him now than on previous visits, for he knew the public better and they knew him better. He has already played engagements In Chicago. Toronto. Toledo.

Read tho little boot Road to WellvilW XUIe Thr Financial World. We have had another wwk of Stock Exchaort not a day free from aggressive bear campaigning; every hour hart Its plosive sensation, then has been scarcely a t-ingle minute without raiding performance nt its own. Net result, to meet adverse to excuse slamming and jamming roc esses so" persistently pursued, ought to be re fleeted in material market declines. Actually the result for the week Is not desperately pressing. The Hill Rtocks Northern losing IS points and Northern Pacific falling nor do thesp figures show the lowwt for during the week Northern Pttctfic and Northern were both substantially lower.

Aim! loan Smelting likewise v.as under the hammer selling as low as compart-rt with I I a ago. yesterday's final figure being fractionally above 134. two stocks upon which heap effort has been concentrated are Consolidated (las and Amalgamated Copper, each for week failing over half a dozen points. Touching neither of the properties is a sir.g'.o nothing, at of consequence a to be surprising. At Albany has proceeded inimical Ga.n programme, but as to eoppep shares no disclosed development Is anything el3e than actually ir.splrttins.

As to Gas, it is. of course. recosnizM by folks that there can be recourse to intelligent judicial review of vested right and upon elal i.th' I can state that wffl be mere sullen compliance with Albany's o-iers bAng within the province; cf the -Supresia Court of the United Stales to determine Ow readily and how far professional politics may proclaim confiscation. And. an statrij Jn this review a week ago.

ConsohfJatcd Gas t3t 3 with but extraordinary exceptions the cheapest of all industrial stocks quoted upon the York Stock Exchange. As to Amalgamated every professional trader being aggressively what ordinarily may be taken for criteria of value are wholly Ignored. Competition, opposition, vanish Mines that were tied up become operative; whsri were handicaps, burdens and strangulation are now disclosed united effort, helpfulness and profits. la trade revolution. la American industrial history not one record there quotable for this new situation unprecedented In its prosperity in what conservative observers be- Hove to be certainties.

That Amalgamate Copper market values should decline can bo daa 1 or explainable only upon the of specilatlva pressure. What seems to be the case is that powerful interests aro intent upon letting faw outsiders retain stock market Every, body scan is into liquidation. But the sequel will be profit in large volume for ell who do not tremble and let go. Metropolitan Street Railway shares have bess centre of other hubbub. At Alhany and in "Wall Street alike animated opposition proclaimed Itself against the announced for merger with the subway and the elevated systems tiw of a concentrated natural transit system for the metropolis.

And according to vociferous oracles of the Street there wai no hope of success for enterprise, shareholders refusing to he "victimized," it belaa freely forecast that the call for from security holders would this week end In fiasco. But. somehow, the sruesser guesssd" wrong Official announcement came on March 1 stating that the merger plan was acceptable tc the owners of the securities of the Metropolltaa corporation, that the merger was assured success. Of course, this does not wholly diapoas of the cavalry charges at Albany; but doej denote a situation clariSsd. In Wall Street history there are few Instances of prejudice, pressing 1 persistent and purblind, comparable with this prejudice which for years on years has been figuring fa antagonists the straightforward development ol New-York's street railway service.

Recently animosity has trebled its vigor, hurrahing over the discovery that it might be possible to yet do further damage by calling Thomas F. Ryan JUr. Ryan's personal Identification with street railway expansion givinsr him pre-eminence as target. All the sallies agair.3t taa property have proceeded on the theory that adverse activity must command co-operation of Metropolitan's own shareholders; and at times. in some ways, there has seemed basis for theorizing of this sort.

Yet whenever teat has been made there has been readily fonhcoa- Ing 1 ample proof to the contrary. Upon the New-York Stock Exchange roster. It would not be possible to find one stock whose sponsors have striven more carefully or with more willingness of personal sacrifice to maintain Intrinsic value to Insure continuing dividend returns. Take, for exemplincation, the auxiliary Metropolitan Securities corporationcriticised, censured, condemned, by all Qm host of professional opponents as Indicating evil (sometimes weakness, sometimes for the Metropolitan Street Railway Company's shareholders. It Is difficult to classify censure of this cort some of It childish, some of It criminal.

What the record shows 13 healthful and helpful and wholesome. What the record ihowa is that Thomas F. Ryan and his associates In devotion to the business Interests for which they stood were striving earnestly and all the while to do what was beneficial for Investment Realizing current difScultles and handicaps, they were ready to pledge their own resources In appreciation cf the future contributing of their own capital to found an Independent corporation, to assure, to underwrita, ta guarantee, the good faith of Metropolitan dividend capacity. That Metropolitan security holders with promptness show their recognition of such service Is merely all tha professional bear speculators of Wail Street to the contrary notwithstanding. Throughout the week we have had worry over the money market situation, Everybody short of the entire professional felt sure that we v.ere upon the verge of a banking cataclysm.

Funds on call did get up to 6 per cent, even touching a littll higher rate, but the normal quotation was below the. figure; and at the close of the week comei announcement from Washington that the Treasury Department recognizes the wisdom of replacing: in the country's banks a substantial portion of what the government has withdrawnrecognizing the fairness of giving the money market freedom from government drain. Thll means much. But what before long seems son to give us larger relief appears in the- prospect of gold imports. Our phenomena! international trade balances will warrant drafts upon Europe.

Throughout th country business prosperity it so substantial, rises to such extraordinary heights, that there is ready use fcr all funds within reaoh; and to some of the timid souls of Wall Street this national prosperity seerr.a an actual consuming the money which financial world here ordinarily depends upon. "Logic" of this character, however, proceeds upon the theory that the credit element in finance Is shrinking, loses its normal consequence. A canvass of a score of the most important bankers in Wall Street elicits the fact that Is virtual agreement among them that before end of this month money market conditions wiil have corrected themselves, that there will ease. According to these authorities Imprest rates may not be surprisingly cheap, but will not be surprisingly will not onerous. fact that may be kept well In Is that there is showing an absorption of American securities on a large scale for the account European Investors.

TWa statement is rnada tc me by the heads of important International banking houses. And this absorption Is not on sentiment absolutely warninted by current disclosures of earnings notable exemplification seen in thu remarkable reports from a number of roads for tho month of January. Conspicuous examples are Erie, Rock Island. Chesapeake ar.il Ohio, I Atehison. And these nrstaens cover 1,1.1 separated territory.

Nor must be omitted the matjninVent statement of the Pennsylvania for the year IIHCi. exhibiting r.et approximating per cent upon its stock. Nor Is th: situation confined to the railroads. Astonishing reports come of the arr.azU'.s prosperity of the steel and Iron business. sumption crowds production.

Prices are maintained by all the not a hint of irada warfare anywhere not a suspicion of labor troubles. Kven In the crazy market of Ota past week appreciation of this was evident la unyielding tirir.ness of the United States shares. It is quite evident thaS they must assume leadership when market recovery HMIM H. Further testimony to comprehension facts Is furnished by the course of that pivotal stock. I nlon Faciftc.
