day and heavy blocks of securities offer

market.

but all reports from Washington were
taken to mean that. although there
might be delay, there was little doubt that
the ultimate action of congress would be
such as would necessarily constitute a
casus belli by regulating Spanish SOW
ereignty in Cuba.
The Spanish 4 per cent. bonds were
without support at any of the European
centers and the heavy tone of Americans
helped the growing belief in war. The
early weakness on the local exchange
was due In great part to liquidation of
foreign account In American securities.
Sales of ali these stocks for London &C
count were more urgent than at any time
since the Cuban question has been at is

of local liquidation in the early trading

money markets condition In London
The open market call rate for money
there has been raised to about the bank
rate of 4 per cent. Berlin discount has
also risen to 32 per cent, compared with
the bank rate of 4 per cent, and money

With call money in the local market

upon this condition of affairs might cas-
iy have been the impelling cause for
London selling of American securities In
an effort to ameliorate the exchange con-
dition. There were some very heavy hold
ings thrown over in the final dealings to-
day and no confident support was mani
fest anywhere in the list.

fire. The women passengers were pam

The cabin boy, William Hawkins,
aged II. had been sleeping at the rear
of the saloon, and when awakened
found the doorway and the woodwork
all around a mass of names. Egress in
the ordinary way was impossible. The
poor lad, screaming, rushed to a star
board portfolio and tried to wriggle
through. Men mounted the betting of
the ship and held his head n right
arm, while desperate attempts We're

this time the fire brigade had arrived.
and the hose was directed on the sa-
loon, through the doorway and port
holes. Sailors tore the skin OF their
hands in the struggle to break away

and he was taken out dead.
The body was removed to the fore

An immense volume of water was
poured on the flames from land and
floating engines. but the vessel listed
so heavily to port that it was hardly
possible for a landsman to stand on
the deck, and fears were expressed that
the steamer would capsize. To prevent

the steamer was lowered safely upon
the mud below the quay, and the task
OF battling with the flames was con-
tinued with some degree OF safety.
When the fire was extinguished and
the brigade was about to dispense a
grewsome discovery was made. The
vessel was being searched in the spot
where the outbreak occurred and the
body of a man was found in the steer

Crater lake is the deepest American
lake. and, indeed. one of the deepest
lakes in the world. 1t is Of the
wonders of America. Crater lake is on
the crest of the Cascade mountains,
about 100 miles east of Ashland, ore.
1t is circular in shape, and about hve
miles across. Ii lies IN the very top of
Mount Mazama, and is completely sur
rounded by rocks rising straight from
the water. Its greatest ascertained
depth is 1000 feet. and this depth seems
to be almost the same oyer the greater
part of the lake. There is no beach.
the surrounding rocky shores extending
vertically beneath the water to a depth
of several hundred feet. There are few
large fish in the lake, but much small
life in the shape of crustacea, etc.
