since the depression in business at the
stock exchange began and it WAS also de-
cidedly strong, everything on list reaching
materially higher figures. Indications point
10 complete change in the temper of specu-

state of specializing temper to be resisted,
St. Paul and Union Pacific were the only
specially active stocks but the business
done in the rest Of the list was materially
larger than usual of late, and the market

Railroad bonds We're also more active.

the train pulled into the depot
here at 8 o'clock, Jew Jake
jumped off and as Marshal Treat
emerged from car, began shooting at
him, hitting him in the leg above the
knee, and through the back. The
wounded officer pulled revolver and
fired, breaking Jew Jake's leg. Other
shots were exchanged. One hit Joseph
Lessard just below the eye, and another
wounded young Marks in the feshy part
of the leg. The platform was crowded

The Situation of Germans in Russia Fast
Becoming Intolerable.
VIENNA, Nov. 17.-Accounts from the
interior of Russia say that general ex-
odus is beginning of the Germans who,
for century past, have taken a leading
share of the development of the indus
trial welfare of the country. There is
reason to believe that the Russian gov
ernment, anticipating war with Ger
many sooner or later, has determined
to rid itself of those who by their nat
ural sympathies would be inclined to.
the German side. The Germans are
not harassed to the same degree as the
Jews, but they are made to feel certain
disabilities that have been in allegiance,
and menacing hints are thrown out that
worse is coming. The object seems to
be to frighten rather than to force them
away. Altogether the situation Of
Germans in Russia is fast becoming i'll
tOlerable.

The Sudden Departure of the Minister to
Italy for Washington Causes Comment.
New YORK, Nov 17.-Albert g. Por-
ter, United States minister to Italy, ar
rived Sunday on the steamship Norman
mia, and after few hours stop pro-
ceeded on a fast express to Washington.
This sudden and unannounced arrival
leads many to believe that he has been
hurriedly summoned to Washington to
confer with the president and secretary
OF state on the present situation of the
controversy with Italy, growing out of
the Malta troubles in New Orleans. 1t
is more than probable that Italy has
taken advantage Of the trouble between
the United States and Chilli to make a
demand for an apology and a money in
demnity for the killing Of two Of her
subjects in New Orleans. Minister por-
ter refused to give any reason for his
hasty and secret trip to Washington.

An Expensive Elorkat.e,

SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich; Nov. 19.-
The figures in reference to the blockade
to navigation in Lake George flats last
month have just been completed. They
are Of interest to the entire country.
The accident. which was caused by the
schooner George w. Adams sinking the
steam barge Susan E. Peck, occurred at
1:10 p. III. Saturday, Cct. 10. The Peck
was sunk in thirty feel of water across
the channel. there being only channel
of eight feet ahead Of her stem and six
feet ahead of her stern. The following
morning three dredges We're put to work
which were supplemented by another.
the next day. The four dredges dug a
channel seventy feet wide at the bow of
the wreck and extended up and down
the stream about 300 feet in each direc-
ton. The material moved is estimated
at about $4,000 cubic yards. The acci-
dent occurred at 1:10 p. m., Oct. 10, and
was not cleared until noon, Oct. q.
when the last vessel was taken through
the new channel: The total number of
vessels delayed was 21,. the total delays
amount to 1927 days, ) hours and II
minutes. The value of tonnage delayed
is $23,294 600. The estimated loss to
the vessel interests is $l4G,236. The
delay, while being most disastrous to
navigation, will have the effect of
placing before congress the importance
OF lake improvements and the necessity
of an early completion of the new lock
and the Hay lake channel.

Results in Two Deaths.

"A salvation Army Tragedy at Omaha
Results in Two Deaths.
OMAHA, Nov. 17.-About o'clock D.
m. Cadet Clara Bea,lle, of the local
corps of the Salvation Army, met Cap
tain Hattie Smith, of Clinton, Ia., at the
barracks and tried to open a conversa-
ton with her. The Smith woman is en-
gagged to Lieutenant Berry. of Boone,
Ia, and imagined that the Beadle wo-
man was trying to steal him from her
She refused to talk, when the Beadle
woman drew a revolver and shot Miss
Smith, through the right lung, firing
three shots at her. The Smith woman
ran a block before she fell mortally
wounded. Seeing that she had probab-
ly killed her rival, Cadet Beadle turned
the revolver on herself, blowing out her
own brains. Miss Sprague, of Omaha,
another Salvationists, was so overcome
by the sight that she became paralyzed
and her death is expected.
Marshal Booth, of Paris, has been
holding a series of -hallelujah meetings
here to which Miss Smith had come as q
visitor. The incident did not stop the
meeting which went right along after
the police had removed the dead and
dying.
