BURGLAR FOUND DEAD
Mysterious Case of Shooting at Quincy.
Mass
Police Puzzled Over the Case-Robber
Was Probably Shot by
His Pal.

QUINCY, Mass, December 22-The most
peculiar shooting affair which has ever
been brought to the attention of the police
of this city, occurred early this morning at
the winter home of Jonn Shaw in this
city, when robber, who had plundered
the house, lost his life
The whole affair is very mysterious as
the occupants of Mr.. Shaw's house declare
that they heard no shot fired and did not
know that their home had been entered un-
I'll the body of the man was found by
servant, who was .-.e first in the house to
arise this morning, and who stumbled over
the form.
The BODY was directly in front of the
bay wipdo@, which was open. The police
were called. An officer found that the
burglars coat, hat and shoes had been
left on the piazza, just outside the window.
The man wore a new suit, in the pockets
of which gold watch, diamond pin and
two pairs of eyeglasses belonging TO mem
bers of the Shaw family were found. Be
sides these articles, jack knive, thirteen
cartridges, SLIGO in money, ticket from
Wattham to Boston and a piece Of paDer
marked James Emerson. Green street
Jamaica Palms. were found.
Ila man was probably thirty-five years
OF age. When the body was found it was
lying on the left side. The bullet which
caused his death entered three and one-haIf
inches above the right nipple and took an
upward course.
The police are greatly puzzled over the
affair. They are working on the theory
that the robGer was shot by a pal" who
was watching outside, and who may have
mistaken the robber for the owner of the
house just as his companion came toward
the window. Neighbors living nearby, and
right workmen in a bakery in the vicinity
of the house. say they heard pistoi-shot
about o'clock this morning.

Steamer Blake Sails From BaltimoEe
on Scientific Mission.

BALTIMORE, Md, December 22-The
coast and geodetc survey steamer Blake
left Baltimore today for Porto Rican wa
ters. Her departure marks the beginning
by this government in the new possessions,
this being the first expedition sent to any
of these islands for the purpose of making
surveys. Most of the Spanish possessions
have been poorly charted, and the coast
lines of Porto Rico. Cuba and the Philip
pines contain many good harbors of which
little is known. Accurate surveys of these
harhors will be made by the government at
once.
The Blake has been fitting out at Balti-
more for some weeks. Surveys by the
Bake Wal begin in the harbcr of jos.
which is reported to be the finest harbor
on the coast of Porto Rico but about which
little is at present known. 4 distinguished
party, including the mayor of Baltimore,
former Postmaster General Gary and fami-
ly and officials of the department interest
ed IN surveying UCrk, were entertained at
noon at breakfast on board before the
Blake left by DIR. Pritchett, ,ne superin-
tendent of the survey. The new coast sur
vey flags recently adopted were displayed
at the masthead for the first time

New Level of High Prices Gained
in Stocks.
MARKET PRESERVES BUOYANCY
Realizing in Some Departments
Granger Shares Strong Again.
GENERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.


NEW YORK, December 22-The volume
of commission orders in todays stock
market was as large, if not larger. than,
that of any previous day of the week.
Prices in consequence moved upward
toward a new level, notwithstanding the
continued argument Of conservative traders
against buying on the top of rise. In
every instance where profits have been
taken as the result of these arguments the
opportunity for rebuying to advantage has
failed to materiaize.
AS the resIlt of such circumstances as
traders are working around to TIE belief
that the market is to be followed without
regard for the season or mere surface indi-
cations of profit taking The latter process
in a market Of the prevailing breadth and
character does not necessarily mean lower
prices.
the volume of business, hut prices are given
good support, and another is taken up ag-
gressively and advanced. Thus far with
the exception of a few of he leading in
dustrials, no change; of any Importance
have been made of the descending scale.
The record for December is remarkable
and in consequence of recent achievements
the optimism for the year is even
more remarkable than that at the close
of the present season. Irregularity is likely.
new issues will be pressed forward and those
having moved the least are likely TO be
made the nucleus of a campaign Of good
proportions. Meanwhile earnings in nearly
all sections are coming in in A way to
suggest good returns to shareholders and
in some instances periods of Improbable
waiting are giving away to regular and
fairly liberal disbursements.
Denver preferred added y per cent to its
dividend rate today and the current gossip
places Missouri Pacific in line for a Giyi-
dend in the very near future.
The Granger shares We're the strong feat
ures of today's market, the entire group
taking on new life and proceeding upward
to a new level.
Union Pacific issues were in rather good
demand under the prospect of some bene-
fits to be derived from the Chicago and
Alton purchase Texas Pacific was taken
in round amounts under influences of a
favorable character relative to the future
welfare of the property.
The Federal Steel issues were the center
CT some realizing sales, but in spite of the
recent advance new prices We're made to-
day. Friends of these shares are most
sanguine in their predictions for the future
ard the success of Flower enterprises has
become q superstition and creates fol-
lowing once the source of the demand Is
definitely located.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.
The state Department Awaiting the
Ambnssador's Movements.


The British newspapers, it is said at the
State Department. are far ahead of the de-
partment in getting news of the intention
0: the German ambassador to Washington
respecting the initiation pf new tariff negO-
tiations- The department is not aware of
the nature Of the Instructions with which
the ambassador is charged.
II had been supposed that ultimately the
German government would take advantage
of the reciprocity clauses of the tariff act
nent for mutual concessions in tariff
charges was reached between the United
States and France last summer.
There has been some exchanges on the
subject. but they can scarcely be said 10
have reaC he'd the dignity Of full negotia
tions II is possible row that the ambassa-
dor has been in consultation al Berlin with
his government ne is better prepared than
he was before he left Washington to en-
bark upon formal negotiations. The fourth
clause of the reciprocity section of the
tarlff act allows considerable latitude 10 the
State Department in making concessions OF
reduced duties on articles Of import. even
sugar. ana the French government has
sought tC ;ahe advantage OF its provisions
:" enlarge Us reciprocity aTrdng5 meut with
the United States. The agreement entered
into last summer had very limited scope
being made under the third section Of the
act, hut the regulations row in progress
have IN View a considerable enlargement of
