Stocks-The stock market displayed
a feverish tone as a consequence OF the
violent shake down of yesterday. Al
though there was some belated liquida-
ton, prices were not without support
at any time and where breaches were
made in values the character OF the
buying at the decline made it look as
though the manipulation for a fall was
for the purpose of taking on stocks.
There was a notable volume OF COM
mission house buying, which indicated
that the outsiders had been attracted
by the lower level of prices. There
were points in the industrial list wnlch
displayed notable resistance all day.
and during the latter part OF the trad
ing some positive strength. Some OF
the sharp declines in the railroad list,
notably in the grangers. were attribut-
ed to a shifting of holdings from that
group into some of the industrials. The
grangers touched lower prices than In
the decentralization of yesterday, and
they were practically the only stocks
in the list to do so. That there is still
a large and aggressive bear party in
the market was evident. Their tactics
were moderately successful in the
morning, especially in the cases OF Ter
nessee Coal and Metropolitan Street
Railway. which were forced down 5h
and 81 respectively. Money at no
time ruled over 8 per cent, and in the
afternoon was offered down to 4 per
cent The impression was abroad that
| some of the very large individual oper-
| ators had become possessed Of a liberal
supply of funds and were taking on
stocks. Traders generally turned to
the bull side and marked up stocks to
the n~eighborhood Of last nights level,
and In some instances materially above
il. Prominent specialties showed re-
~ccveries from the low point ranging
from 2 to over 5 points. Sugar, Brook
lyn Transit and Tobacco were espec-
tally notable in the rally. In the rail-
way list the trunk lines, the Pacifics
and one or two of the coalers rose from
~ to 2. and Southern Railway pre-
ferred rallied 2Aa. After touching
1881, Sugar suddenly broke 4 points
to zeal the lowest and very much I'M
settled the whole list. Reactions were
confined to fractions outside of Tobacco
and Brooklyn Transit and a few other
industrials. The closing was thus
made irregular and with mixed net
changes. The action of the directors

FIVE THOUSAND PERISH.

Terrible Result Of the Earth q1uak. .s
-" Ceram Nov. 2. 49,
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. lathe Bulle-
tin says: The disaster that overlook
the island of Ceram on Nov. 2 cost the
people of that district immense loss of
life and property. The steamship
America Maru, just arrived from the
Orient, brought advices from Ceram
and report that 5000 people were de-
stroyed on that island alone when the
dreadful earthquake Of November
shocked tho Japanese coast and agitated
the islands adjacent to the empire.
On the night of Nov. 2 the people of
Ceran were awakened by a terrific
shock of earthquake that seemed to
work from north to south. Every one
fled from their homes and took up
places in the public square. A few
hours later it was reported that the
water was rising in the bay of Ambo-
MA, The sea came forward in the
shape of a huge tidal wave and forced
the water into the bay entrance. It
came up so feet over the lowlands. At
Panholin and Samaseroa, on the bay,
the waves swept over the tops of trees
80 feet high. Out of nearly 1900 in
habitants only 40 escaped.

BY this time Braddon was paying the
utmost possible attention.
He cared no more for matrimonial
advertisements than he did for John
Olmstead's millions. 1t was John Ohm
stead's nephew he was thinking Of. The
moment there was pause he said:
"see here, Esther; the idea is all
right, but it is risky business for the
shrewdest man to try and handle GRIM
inals. You want the best lawyer you
can secure, and you want him at the
start. Otherwise you'll drag your club
into no end of trouble; for even GRIM
inals have certain rights, which they
understand better than you, and which
it is dangerous to NEEDLE with or ig-
more. Now, the first thing you do, you
go to John Olmstead's nephew. be-
lieve he's the best lawyer of his age in
the state. He'll tell you he's too busy
to give the matter attention, but don't
let him slip. Ten minutes of his brain
work is better than an hour from most.
Take him on philanthropy. I under
stand it's something of a hobby with
him. Don't you offer to pay him, or he
won't look at you. He can earn ten
times all that your club will pay with
half the work you will require, but he's
forever throwing away good business
TO give his time in charity. Call it
charity. See? And if that don't work,
try moral reform. He's head and front

ANOTHER EXTRA SESSION.

Michigan Legislature Called Upon to
Submit = Constitutional Amend mont.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. l4.-Governor
Pingree has sent out call for an extra
session of the legislature to convene,
Monday, Dec. 10, ''to consider the sub
mission of an amendment, or amend
ments to the constitution which will
permit the enactment of laws which
will provide for the equal taxation of
all property by the assessment of the
same at its cash value, and such other
matters as shall be submitted by spe-
cial message"
The call for the special session tells
of the passage Of the Atkinson railway
taxation bill by the last legislature and
the declaring Of it unconstitutional last
spring by the state supreme court, and
says that because of that decision a
constitutional amendment is necessary,
"before laws can be enacted providing
for equal taxation of all property"

Thorndike. Indeed, it was difficult to
hold gratuitous information away; but
with keen native sense of honor,
greatly overstrained and intensified as
it was by the strange circumstances,
he felt that it would be the height of
disloyalty for him to permit himself to
know anything beyond what Esther
Thorndike had herself communicated.
The day Of her departure found him
as ignorant as ever, and only so many
days deeper in the new sentiments and
their attendant morbid desperation.

CRITICISED THE KAISER,

Remarkable Incident During tho De-
bate on tho Naval Bill.
BERLIN, Dec. l4.-The event of the
day has been DR.. Lieber's criticism in
the reichstag of Emperor Williams
speech at Hamburg. The spectacle of
this cautious leader Of the most impor-
tant group in the reichstag the section
which will decide the fate of the naval
bill-thus severely blaming the kaiser,
is almost without parallel in German
parliamentary history. It was all tho
more notable because Count Won Bal
lestrem, president of the reichstag,
upheld the dignity of the chamber and
maintained freedom of speech against
the protest of the imperial chancellor.
Parliamentary circles are all agog over
the incident and it has not improved
the chance of the naval bill.

whelming force Of the real izat ion which
followed, TINT the moon which shone
with such refreshnent for moment
was even then hidden by the black
waves of the Atlantic, and that every
tleeting sound was bearing her farther
and farther away, to set beyond the
clouds, beyond the possibility OF even
one more passing glimpse,
The memory of one week before
came back to haunt him as night gath
cred. Involuntanly he was living it all
over again. Step by step he seemed
forced to follow it, and every step was
bereft of all but bitterness bitterness
and utter loneliness. 4
Even the discovery that it had been
such strength and comfort to him to
know that she was as near as Brooklyn
filled him with dismay. The wild, UNI
comfortable, almost incoherent ram
blings of his mind startled him. His
plans were methodically laid for his
departure the following day, but mac
ton was uncomfortable. It was very un-
like John Olmstead'snephew, but it only
made. matters so much the worse that
he fully realized the fact. In a strug-
gle to escape he started that might for
California.
BY degrees the strange week sank
into something like the memory of
an ugly dream. Often he seemed to
himself to be still dreaming. AS the
train rumbled on he sometimes tried to
rouse himself, with vague sense that
if he succeeded he should discover that
it was only dream. Yet as often as
he made the attempt he shuddered lest
he might succeed; for in it there was
something more real than reality as he
knew it, and even at that moment he
would not have had it all dream.
The man on one side of the two-ine
advertisement and the. man on the
other side were two painfully distinct
and different creatures. The change
was not agreeable. It resulted in no
end of misery, and nothing else; yet in
the midst of the misery there was some
thing so agreeable and beautiful that
nothing in the old life could compare
with it.
If the turning of his hand would have
taken him back again to the time before
that advertisement appeared, he would
not have turned his hand.
If he could only have understood him
self it would have been very different
But he did not understand. However
much or little Robert Stanton knew
he certainly did not know that the new
sentiment possessing him was love.
