STOCKS TRY n TWICE
But the Bears are Able to
Dominate the Situation.
HEAVINESS ALL AROUND
Money Situation Is Anything
But Favorable.

New York. Oct. 12-The stock market
made couple OF futile and feeble efforts
to advance this morning. The lethargy
OF the trading was an invitation TO hear
aggression and when determined lea1er-
ship developed for that faction the pro
fessional element among the traders was
quick to follow the lead. A single block
of st. Paul of $500 shares was quickly fol-
lowed by another of 4.0OO shares offered
by brokers who are usually employed by
the acknowledged bear leaders. Selling
all around the room was the sequence.
The two large blocks of ST. Paul were at
l24 Ia and the price had fallen 10 l2S IA
in few minutes. The Changers, New
York Central, Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chi
cago and St. Louis. and the leading high
priced specialties were the principal SUI
ferers. Brooklyn Transit was under con-
spicuous pressure and dropped 10 So 51Sc.
Pullman made a brilliant advance OF S -
points on rumors of the coming ABSORB
ton of the leading competitor. which
case of positive strength. Louisville was
the leader of the early abortive advance
and was rather firm after having the ad-
vance wiped out. Otherwise, the heavi-
ness was quite uniform. The news Of de-
velopments in South Africa had very
little effect on the market Call money
worked a shade easier and did not
touch higher than ! per cent. What with
last Saturdays receipt of gold from Eu-
rope. other small accretions of the preci-
Gus metal from other sources and the re-
Taxed pressure by the sub-treasury, add
ed to the further contraction of loans
which has been made, more favorable
showing is expected from the New York
banks in the Saturdays statement. The
general outlook in the money market is
considered anything but unfavorable. The
violent upward movement of 1-2c in the
pound for sterling exchange both for
actual rates and posted rates. is regarded
as an admonition that an easing of the
money rate here is likely to lead TO a de-
mand from London for gold. The weekly
statement OF the Bank of England dis
closed a very slight increase of the pro-
portion of reserve to liability, and the
statement for the same period of the
Bank Of France shows a loss Of 81, 100000
in gold while demand for credits has In
creased It's oIans about so, 100000. The
sterling exchange rate at Paris dropped
of an additional half centime. II is ex-
ceedingly significant that the Bank Of
England arted with some sle5,OO0 in gold
today for shipment to Paris. which city
has been looked TO from all points as the
available source for relief for the need OF
gold. A financial upset in Italy had a dis
turbing effect in all the European
money markets. The sharp upward move
ment here not only in sterling exchange
but also in French exchange suggests a
coming pressure on this center.

The small donkey hoist has been running for some little time and cages bave been placed in the shafi. The whistle from this hoist now makes the power to awake the echoes of the adjacent hill siues.

CG.DEN TALLY KILL ID.
Jim EcNeil Blown to P eces by a
 East.

The quietude of or city was thrown into fevor of excitement last evening about II o'clock by the report that three
 men had been blown to death by an ex- plosion in the South bisbee com pany's shaft at South Bisbee.
 The report, we are glad 10 say, proved only partly true, one miner, James Me Nell, being killed and Earl McClutchoa and Joe O'Hare being badly bruised.
 The three men wera working on the 3 o'clock shift and had put Tn several holes in tue corners of the bottom ot the shaft, when McNeil commenced to put hole down in the center. He had put the hole down six or eight inches when tervtlic explosion took place, blowing him upward and filling the shatt with flying rocks, hammers, etc, O'Hara was struck with a haniGler in the slde of the head and stunned, while McClutChon escaped with only slight brulse, bnt was mOmentarilt stunned by the concussion. He soon regajned consciousness and rang for the bucket, putting McNeil in and holding O'Hare on top of the bucket, brought them to the surface.
 McNell, who was directly over the charge, was shot to pieces. His left arm and band were blown off and both his aN gh ,,-t,i ia S.arA a spot on his body but what was cut by the rocks, but ill spite of his condition he lived from the time of the accident, 10 o'clock, until ,, he being uncOnscl- ous, however. How O'Hure and Me- Clutchon escaped with their lives is miracle.
 The accident was caused by McNeil's drill hitting charged hole, which the morning shift had put in and had failed to explode, but which both shifts had failed to notice, the morning shitt part ly cleaning up before quitting work.
 Deceased was man about 50 years of age and had been employed in the camp here for number of years. He was of medium height, light cOmpect- ed and wore light sandy beard. Me Neil was man of quiet, unassuming nature and has made many friends among his fellow miners.
 The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at l 80 from the undertaking parlors of E. F. Graham SS Co.

IT IS beginning to be more than suspected that inc American losses in the Philipp ne Islands have been minimized in the reports sent out by the war department, while those of the Filipinos have been correspond gly magnihed. Foreign newspapers state posi- lively that this has been done. and only upon this hypothesis con one understand the giy- ing out by the department of the fragment ary dispatches which are being continually delivered to the press with blanks gaps and asterisks scattered throughout, and the sen, soring of all tho news sent from Manila.

MEMORIAL DAY.
A Patriotic Suggestion by g Member of the G. 4. R.

EDITOR ORE While we are trsinipg the boys and girls Of our land ill the intelligent and moral spheres of life we must not forget to impress on their minds sense of the prlvieges they enjoy, of the freedom which is charac- teristic of their country, and not com mon to all nations on earth. They should early learn of the struggles our forefathers put forth to make this a free land, and to preserve this freedom they should learn to honor and respect the memory of the heroes who fought and died for their country.
 No time is more propitious for teach ing these truths than Memorial Day. With the comrades ot the Grand Army of the Republic and the citizens of our city and the schools should unite in hOnOring the memory of our departed heroes, and with appropriate speeches, songs and other ceremonies, the rising generation should have liiniIed in their breasts the fires of '76.
 Our country has recently passed through war frousht with great sacri- tices. The blue and the gray have united to bring 10 an en>iaVe4 people the freedom which we know is so dear to every American heart. Memorial Day, therefore, should bring new thoughts to Us. The past year las been a history making one in our lives. At our very doors we have seen our boys mustered into the ranks and heard the tramp of marching soldiers; we have followed our brave heroes from here to Prescott and from there to Cuban soil, watched them charge up the hliis of San Juan and Fl Clancy, and others now in the tropical PhIllppiuS. All of these events are fresh in the minds ali, and the lesson of loyalty to the tig this year can be taught to the pupils in our pub lie schools with greater force than has ever been done before.
 In the distant lands ofCuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines lie the bodies of departed heroes whose graves will not be decorated with wreathes an gar lands of flowers as willthose whose re. mains have been brought back and buried on their native soil.
 While we are duly honOrinS our de- parted heroes here let us not forget these brave lads who rest in foreign lands, but fondIy remember t,.em. Let us all join together in thes honoring of this day by holding appropriate cxer- cises and paying what respect we can to our departed ones.
 Respectfully Yours,

FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED.

Professor Heron delivered a lecture in Chicago short time ago to an audience of l5OO people on the subject of American Im- perialism. It is needless to say that the lectu CT condo mned, in termseloquent with righteous wrath the whole brutal, bloody program which in the name and with ths might of the American people, is even yet in progress in the Philippine islands. It is well worth saying, however that the thrilling re- sponses which his sentiment evoked f om the great au Hence of common people showed that there Is feeling in the oommu- nity, and strong one, which resents the usurpation that has turned war professed. ly disinterested into e sanguinary carnival of conquest
 One point that Professor Heron made in his anti-imperial speech should be every where repeated and at all times emphasized He warned the common people that if they calmly allow this great crime in the Philip pines to be consummated, their turn will be next. This Is but too evident It is not the Filipinos alone who are said by the imperi- alists to be incapable of self-goyernment. From the same sources it is proclaimed with increasing boldne that the American com mon people are likewise incapable, and that their suffrage should be restricted Let the fundamental principle of American govern ment be successfully ignored by American imperialists in the Philippines, and the time will quickly come when thoy will ignore it at home. The multiplication by four of the standing army, which, as Admiral Dewey says of himself as naval officer, will at all times be the obedient agent of the party in power. is a preparatory step in that dirco- tion. It is not easy to believe that this gov ernment could ever be transformed into a military despotism. But let us consider the startling revolution in our whole national character and aspiration that favoring events have produced in one short year, and be warned in time.--The Public.

DESPITE its load of fraudulent claims and wildcat schemes the mining industry has paid more money in dividends, compared with industries started in the last thirty years, than any business known, says u writer in the Now York Tibune. Compare the profits in mining with the protit5 on the 156,0G0 odd miles of railroad, with the aggre- gate liabilities O. neariy S1O,COJ0J0, then you will see which pays the most. Under the wing of minlns there exists some of the safest snd most prohtAb,s of all business. Take, for instance, the twelve great smelt- ing companies, the mineral pawnbrolSers The smelting companies that do strictly custom business, show absolutely and un- questionabIy tho largest profits of any iu- dustry in America, l know of instances where capital invested in smelting comua- nies has been turned five times year, and each time the margin of profits has been over twenty per cent of the entire amount han dled. They take no risk; simply buy the raw gold and silver in the orc ut rauu', q price, extract their cost of teatmont and pay the miner the residue It is a businc ss where the principle is absolutely safe. All of thesethimEs should show the people the value Of mining. 1t often huppens that if a nininS man presents an enterprise to con seryatiye capital he i8 looked upon with sus- picion and no assistance ia rendered hiln. Tho investor fails to roalize thuS the very sinews of commerce come from the ia ncs apd that they are the root oi Laf the sus- ce sfu industries of this country. Last year, notwithstan ding the fact that capital gayo very little assistance O the mining industry thir was steady, heait y increase of pros pority. Of tho mGuy millions pro lucad f, om the mines the amount was d.viie SO that all avenues of industry prohted. Over ten per cont went to railroad corporations thirty seven per cent t1 mina owners, fully tftecn Der cont to smelting weeks, while h resi- due, thirty eight per cen, was circulated among the iaboriugs elements.
