New York, May 9.-The stock market
to-day was demoralized by liquidation
both voluntary and forced and values
melted away with large interests ap-
parently apathetic. Marginal accounts
were wiped out and nothing escaped the
furious decline. The continuance of
bear pressure disheartened many and
resulted in shaking out of many COM
mission house accounts. The market
was devoid OF general news features but
local stocks reflected fear as to the
probable effect of the Ford franchise
tax bill which, it was the general be-
lief, would be signed tomorrow. Lon
don purchased some 10000 shares, rem
dering an easier tone to sterling ex-
change and acting as the sustaining fac
tor in the early dealings. Money on
call was strong, ranging from 81 to 6,
the latter being the quotation of the
last loan. Standard shares were thrown
over in some instances to protect spe-
cialties that were receding at an alarm
ing rate. The forenoon show of strength
tempted renewal of short pressure
and liquidation which was practically
continuous. Among the weakest points
were the Flower stocks, which had risen
the most during the long bull campaign,
Brooklyn Transit suffering net loss of
5A, New York Air Brake 1919 and
Peoples Gas over points. Other de-
clines among the specialties were
American Tobacco "A, Sugar and Steel
Hoop 61a each, Metropolitan Steel A,
and Consolidated Gas 3.
The railways suffered from / to 3
points less and there were so many
other weak spots that their enumeration
would be tedious. The bear faction was
constantly on the alert for vulnerable
points and stop loss orders were freely
uncovered. In some quarters the eX-
pectation was entertained that the gov
eminent crop report to be issued to-
morrow would show little improvement
in the winter wheat belt. Clearing
house balances to-day of 1891, 900
were the largest on record and the
credit balances of over S13,000,000 Of
the bank which managed the payment
of the Spanish indemnity was the larg-
est ever liquidated at the clearing
house. The sub-treasury's debit bal
ance of over S10,000,000 is the largest
since 1890. The closing of the market
was weak. but final prices were well
above the lowest, the total transactions
for the day being considerably over
100000 shares.
There was quite few issues in the
bond market which ignored the down
ward tendency of the semi-speculative
mortgages whose losses, however. did
not exceed fractional proportions. Total
sales s3,125,000.
U. S. IS, the old As registered and the
5s advanced Il in the bid price.
The total sales of stocks to-day
amounted to 1,O2S,37S shares.

popular and an expensive fancy is
to wear in unison three or four rings

effective. Another new style of ring is

LUNA ASSASINATED.
1t Was Dore by Direct Orders
From Aguinaldo.

Manila, June 13.-Gen. Luna,
one of the bitterest foes of the
Americans in the PhiIippies, has
been assassinated by orders of
AguinaIdo, the Filipino leader.
Luna recently found himself in
opposition to the chiefs views
and not only dlsobeyed orders,
but at one time stopped Aguinal-
dos peace commissioners or the
way to Manila t. treat with the
Americans. Aguinaldo ordered
his death and the orders were car
ried out by some of his fanatical
followers. The report of the assas>
sination has caused great excite
ment among the Filipinos at Ma
Mia.
The reported assassination of
Luna is confirmed. Lieut.. Ra-
man, Luna's aide de-camp, was
also assassinated. Aguinaldo' S
guard performed the deed on
June Sth.

If any other of the South Caro-

liclY declared himself in favor of
this expansion idea we have failed
to see. For some time this writer
has had little company in the
Piedmont IN his decided opinions
on this subject, and it gives him
special pleasure to state that Son
ator McLaurin is fairly committed
to the general plan of protecting
our island possessions, giving the
people better government than
they have ever had, and showing
to the world that civil liberty and
Christian civilization can hurish
even in the tropics. Even those
who differ from the senator as to
territorial expansion admit that
he made Il fine address.

Ej2ht prisoners were captured.
The majority of the Fiipinos wore

According to Gen. Anderson,
the heavy losses of the American
troops IN the recent engagements
with the Filipinos at Los Pinas
and bakoOr, were caused by the
artillery which Admiral Dewey
presented to Aguinaldo last vim
ter. The batteries, he says, are
being operated by Spanish prs
oners who haye been released by
AguinaIdo with the understanding
that they enlist in the insurgent
army.
