 on the point of succumbing to adverse in- fluences.
 In the effort to protect these securities others were also involved, including some of the most substantial stocks in the list. The fall in prices, instead of relieving the situation, added to the weakness with cu- mulating force by reason of the shrinkage dn the value of collaterals.
 Before the concerted relief by the clearing house banks, the money rate leaped to 5O, TO, 100, and, according to the official record, 12J per cent Credible reports assert that 1S6 per cent. was paid for money during the day. The official record of such a transaction was lost in the excitement An idea of the severity of losses may be gained from a few specifications: Thus, American Tobacco fell an extreme 2l1A Metropolitan, 20A Peoples Gas, II; Sugar, 121a; Continental Tobacco, 11ls Tennessee Coal, IT. Manhattan 9, and Leather pre- ferred, 91a, all in the list of industrals. In the railroad list such stocks as North west, New York Central, Great Northern preferred, Rock Island, Southern Pacific the Union Paciics, the Northern Pacitics, Atchisen preferred, and, in fact, the most prominent and active railroad stocks in the whole list showed losses all the way from 1 to 9 points, The rallies with the final forcing down of the money rate to 6 per cent. ran from to 10 points. The days transactions ran up to a total of nearly 1,65O,0C0 shares, which is the record for a days business The excitement was intense all day, and there be no doubt that q large volume of transactions and a record of many quotations were entirely lost in the turmoil of brokers and operators, which surged over the floor of the exchange and about every post all day long. The changes in prices between sales ran up to l, and even points, both on the down. ward grade and in the recovery. After the close of the exchange there was a meeting of the clearing house committee to con- ceive furthr measures for safety and relief. An issue of clearing house certificates was discussed, but the bank presidents present said that it would not be available at pres ent

WILL BE NO BILL
Congressman Burton Doubts Introduce
 ton of Measure

Cleveland, December 1S.-A special to the Leader from Washington says Congress- man T. F. Burton, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, said tonight:
 II doubt whether a river and harbof bill will be reported at this session. There are several good reasons why the bill may not be reached. First, the engineering force of the war department has all the work it can do for more than a year. Second, congress at this session will be called upon to make large appropriations for the army and navy, and reasonable economy is a good thing to practice. Third, prices of materials are high, and in many cases the work can not be done within the war department es- times. The committee will begin to give hearings to persons interested in new river and harbor work in short time, and these hearings will continue throughout the pres ent session."

J. D. HALL KILLED AT GALLOWAY 
Shot Through the Head by
 Sam Aston.
RESULT OF DRUNKEN BRAWL
Several Stories as to How the Tragedy t. sOccurred=BothM Men Were Employ
 ed in Mining-Murderer in : all at Jasper

Horse Creek December 1S.-(special.)-
 John D. Hall, night watchman at No. f mines at Galloway, was shot and killed by Sam Aston, a miner, early Saturday morning, under circumstances which are yet shrouded in mystery.
 There are several rumors as to how the killing occurred. According to one report, Hall was just preparing to go to work and while salting some pork heard cursing and loud talking in a house near by. The pro- falffty, according to this report, grew louder and Hall went to the house and found several men drinking and playing cards, and requested them to stop swear ing, stating that his family could hear dt One of the men, so it is said, took excep- tion to his interference, and a difficulty ensued, in which he was shot by Aston. Another account of the affair is that the men were all drinking and playing cards and that Hall came into the house and wanted to take a hand. Objection was made and a fight ensued, which resulted in Halls death.
 The unfortunate man was shot through the head and died instantly. His wife was the first to reach his side.
 Alston left the house immediately, taking his own and Halls pistol, and going up the road, met D. J. Jones and told him he had killed his "pardner." Jones, with the as- sistance of several men. placed Aston un- der arrest and he is now in the Walker county jail at Jasper.
 Halls remains were brought to this place and inferred in the family burying ground.

Jefferson DeAngelis

The attraction of "The Jolly Musketeer," in which Jefferson De Angelis and his comic opera company will be heard at O'Brien's opera house tonight, is limited to two acts. This means an almost continu- ous entertainment, with less time wasted for setting of scenes. The first act is a flower mart in Amiens, France. This is street scene and it utilizes the full capaci- ty of the stage. It is described as being an unusually elaborate and picturesque example of scenic art, full of atmosphere and bright coloring. The second act is laid in a palatial ball room, of pink onyx. No artist could wish for a better possibility to inspire gorgeous effects, and from reports this scene is a veritable dream of a stage setting. The construction of the scene calls for magnificent dOme studded with electric lights. Both of these stage pie lures will be shown, as the entire outfit of scenery, accessories and effects are transported with the company. requiring two baggage cars in order to give the opera as complete as when originally produced in New York.
 MT. De Angells was furnished this comic opera by Stanislaus Stange and Julian Ed wards two of the most famous builders of musical entertainment in this country. To- gether they wrote "The Wedding Day." in which De Angelis shared the stellar honors with Lillian Russell and Della Fox, and an- other huge operatic success, Brian Boru." !" For the proper and adequate presentation of "The Jolly Musketeer" a company of fifty people, including some very well known artists, such as Grace Van Stud afford, Maud Rollins, Hubert Wike, Har- ry Macdonough, Lenore Soulier and Hilda Rollins surround the star The advance sale of seats is unusually large.

Washington, December IS, 1899.

w DeCtfllDer 10, loJJ.
 Dear Madam-The announcement of the death of your son, Lieutenant Thofhas w.. Brumby, has been received with universal sorrow by the whole country, and especial ly by the service of which he was so dis tinguished and honored a member. It is especially regretable that an officer of his rank and youth who had had the signal honor of serving as flag lieutenant under Admiral Dewey should be cut off from the further career of honor and usefulness that was promised for him. In your great dis tress at the loss of so noble a son, there cannot fail to be some conciliation in the fact that his name will ever be associated with the brilliant victory of the American fleet at the battle of Manila Bay. You also have the comfort that comes from the knowledge that the whole navy mourns with you in his death.
 May I be permitted to add an expression of my great personal sympathy for you in your sorrow? Very respectfully,
 JOHN D. LONG.
 Mrs. A. E. Brumby, Marietta, Ga.

making an investigation. What they
found has been embodied in an official

master in charge of the Manitoba have
been recommended for discharge from
the service. Nearly every one of the

ot this is $4,000. John ID. Rockefeller

Washington, Dec General Otis,
commanding at Manila, has called the
war department that in his opinion
Gen. Miller has the situation well in
hand at Iloilo and that he fully under
stands the purpose of the president is
not to crowd the insurgents unduly
II Is highly desirable that a hostile
collision between the American forces
and insurgents be avoided at all haz-
ards, at least pending a ratification of
the peace treaty, and as Gen. Miller
understands this purpose on the part
of the president, he will be guided by
II and may be relied upon to resort to
force only under absolute comqulsion.
One feature of Gen. Otis report is
his notice of the approaching meeting
of the so-called Filipino parliament,
which will be held presumably at NAL
alos, 20 miles from Manila, on the ISL
and of Luzon, tomorrow. A good deal
of interest is attached to this meeting
as Gen. Otis reports that by the at
tendance the strength of Aguinaldo's
party can be gagged. Gen. Otis feels
that when an attempt Is made to con-
vene the parliament IL will be found
that Aguinaldo has lost control of the
majority and cannot command even a
working coalition. Such state of
affairs would tend to make easier the
task of the military authorities of the
United States of establishing peaceful
ly temporary form of government
for the Philippines that will command
the support of the people and receive
the approval of the civilized world.
The official news received at Wash
ington regarding the attitude of the
rebels and natives at Iloilo and vicin-
ity Is similar in effect to that received
in the press dispatches. The situa-
ton. the officials say, shows that the
relations between the Americans and
those with whom they are dealing are
much strained and will require tact
and forbearance on the part of both to
avoid collision. II Is also said that
the information which has been re-
ceived here does not indicate that
Gen. Miller has landed with the
American troops.
