WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

early dealings, but the apparent reaction had no
other chcct than Il produce extreme duine's
The sharp r:e in the last hour furnished excellent
evidence tnat the foreign selling was chiefly on
orders from Ncw-York. There was, however, q
little stiffening in the rates for foreign exchange
and predictions of heavy exports OF gold were
again vcntnred. In the last two weeks similar
p edic'ions, evidently from the same sources, nave
not been fulfilled, and the foreign sellers may
conclude before the end OF the week 10 protect
their contracts. 1t is probable, in other words
that the receipts of securities from Europe, IN

PRINCIPAL EXPORTS IN MAY.

Tuesday, June lip. nj.
The report by the Bureau of Statistics OF the
exports in May of the principal products OF inc
country, including brendstnf1s. cotton, mineral
oils and provisions with live stock shows n con-
siderable shrinkage from the same movement In
the previous month. This falling OF was no
greater than had been expected, and compared
with the corresponding month in preceding years
,hc exports showed continuous growth The
report is in fact a gratifying exhibit In spite
of small loses in the shipments Of cotton and
petroleum, the aggregate exports were larger than
in May last year by Sll,2l6,904. The increase
in the value of breadstuffs was $',oSo163. and
in provisions $5,246,4lG, while the decrease III
the other items amounted to only 81 .10o,67J.
Fer the ten months Of the fiscal year the total
exports of the principal products now amount
TO 81 i0,3s6,l2 an increase of Sl24o63.3ll over
the corresponding period in the previous year.
The following tables compare the val ne OF these
EXPORTS in MAY and in ten months for three years

Louis-Already Two Million Dollars

Menace Still Greater Disaster Mt SO
Louis-Already Two Million Dollars
Have Becn Lost In Property Destroyed.
ST.. LOUIS, May 21.--As nearly as can
be told, with hard wind blowing
Friday morning, the Mississippi riv-
err was at IA stand here. But
this gives no hope to the flood suf-
ferers, for before fall can possibly
take place the up-river rise will reach
here and add new chapter to the suf-
fering already inflicted upon people liv-
ing in the flooded districts. In
the various sections of the city prop
er the condition remains much the
same. In north st. Louis nearly ten
million feet of lumber is floating about,
almost ready to go down the river II the
current sets into the west strongly
enough. st. Louis county, north and
west of the city, is still under the water
flowing back from the Missouri and
Meraman rivers. Many bridges over
the latter stream have gone down, pre-
venting traffic over country roads.
Across and below the city at East
Carondelet the situation is worse than
it has been before thought possible.
AS long ago as last Monday night the
levees protecting the little town broke
and almost swept it from the face of
the earth, and this in the face of eff
forts night and day to keep the levee
from breaking. 1t broke at 1880 p.
IN. and in ten minutes there was four
feet of water in every house in the
little hamlet. Many houses were carried
away, but despite the handicap of dark
ness so far as known no lives were lost.
The true state of affairs was not learned
this side of the river until Thursday.
No aid could be sent across because Of
the high winds, but Friday an effort
was made to aid the 800 or more people
now in the second stories or on the
roofs of their flooded dwellings.
The railroad situation is one degree
worse. The Vandalia tracks are washed
out for thousand feet near the Venice
belt crossing. This leaves only the
Ohio e. Mississippi road unharmed. To
the west little trouble is experienced.
At East st. Louis there is no change.
At Brooklyn, ILL.,, opposite the north
ern end of this city, the baclSwater from
, below has completely isolated the little
village which is now under two to five
feet of water. In South st. Louis tho
damage already done is almost beyond
belief. The water has reached far back
into the thicIly settled section. Many
manufactures are menaced while 9TH
ers have for the past ten days been shut
down one by one as the waters rose.
Over $4,000 persons in this section Of
the town have been thrown out of work.
Factory owners are viewing the situa-
ton very seriously. Some of them have
lost thousands of dollars and they do
not know to what extent the river will
damage them. The damages in this
portion of the city will exceed s2,Ooo,-

HEAVY STORMS.

The Northwest Visited by Some of the
Severest Ever Known, Followed by Floods.
ST. PAUL, MINI, May 2O.-Reports
Df damage from the storms are coming
in from all over the northwest, the
rains of the past twenty-four hours
having been especially severe. Violent
wind storms have greatly increased the
damage. At Crookston, Mimi, Red
Lake river rose four feet Wednesday
night, and is still rising, the heavy
rains having been getting in their work.
At Madison, Mimi, Thursday, the
rain continued to fall thick and fast.
The town is nearly under water, and
there are thousands of acres of grain
here that will be drowned out. A heavy
rain-storm, accompanied by violent
wind, struck Lakefield Wednesday night
and Thursday. Five inches of water fell
in eighteen hours. Sloughs are flooded,
lakes full, roads impossible and many
small bridges washed away. Several
washouts are reported along the rail-
way.
One of the most severe storms of the
year struck Duluth, MINI, Thursday.
The rain has been falling twenty-four
hours, and the wind blew thirty-ive
miles an hour from the northwest. All
the ice at the head of the lake
is now piled up ten TO twenty feet
high before the entrance to the har.
Dor of Superior. At Ninth avenue,
cast, where Superior street crosses
n ravinc, deep cut has been made by
the swollen stream, and half the width
of the street washed out, including the
street railway tracks. But little other
damage has been done by the storm. Cap
tains of incoming steamers report terri
fic weather on the big lake, and look
for serious losses. On the north shore,
near Port Arthur, the wind is reported
to be blowing seventy miles an hour.

ELECTROCUTION.

Murderer Joseph l.. Tlce, the Ninth Victim
He Meets His Death Bravely and WitIis
out Bravado.
AUBURN, N. Y, May 10,--Joseph l.
Tice, the Rochester wife murderer, was
executed at 6:39 Wednesday morning.
The execution was a great success from
the start. Short contacts were made,
this being deemed better than too long
ones. There was nothing revolving
about the scene
The witnesses saw no burning Of
flesh, no exhalation of air from the
lungs, no struggle of the victim. The
murderer met his fate calmly The
electric current was turned into the
body four times, each contact being
brief. The physician in charge be-
lieved that better results would be OBJ
tanned in this way than with two longA
contacts. The complete time of contact
was fifty seconds. Tice slept from 10
to 12 o'clock last night. At midnight
he was awakened to be shaved. He
had been told early in the evening by
his spiritual advisers that his life would
be taken Wednesday morning. He said
he was ready and would meet death
like a soldier, and he joined fervently
in the prayers of the clergymcn.
All the physicians examined the body
and all agreed that Tice had passed into
eternity the instant the first contact
was made. Electrician Davis said that
the indicator showed 1,720 volts on the
first contact with very slight falling
off when the three other circuits were
made. A closer examination of the
| body showed no marks or burns upon
it. DR.. Ruff declared that the electro
cution was perfection itself.
Chaplain Yates and Pastor Penney
were with Tice half an hour before tho
execution took place He told them,
they say, that he did not sleep well last
night and that his spine had panied him
considerably.
HE was very brave" said Chaplain
Yates. "He fulfilled his promise to Mr..
Penney and myself that he would die
| like man and a Christian. His last
words to me were, oh, if 1 didn't drink
that whisky Put that in big type"
added Mr.. Penney with tears in his
eyes. Then he said: But for that very
thing he was as good man as any wit
ness in this room"
DIR. George E. Fell, of Buffalo, who
also witnessed the Kemmler execution,
said: THE execution of Tice can NOT
be improved upon. The frequent short
contacts are undoubtedly the best
method. There was nothing revolving
in this case. AS compared with
the Kemmler case this was the more
satisfactory. In the execution of Tice
there were absolutely no reflex move
ments from beginning to end, aside
from the rigidity of the body produced
by the breaking of the current. 1 was
one of the first to advocate electrical
execution, and, after seeing this execu-
ton, am satisfied that the grounds
assumed were correct
