THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Nov. 4,-Since the surplus
reserves of the, New York banks fell TO
about quarter Of million in mid
September, the professional trader in
stocks has looked for a deficit in the
required cash reserves of the banks al
most every week, so the wiping out of
the surplus shown in the bank state
ment today was not a complete sur
prise. But the weeks events in the
stock market made it particularly yul-
nerable in spots, and the slump in
prices of few stocks gave an appear
ance Of decentralization to the market.
Leather especially. which touched 40
at the opening, and was above 80 when
the bank statement appeared, slumped
suddenly to 25 the breaks between
transactions reaching as high as three
points. Marginal accounts in the spe-
cialty were wiped out right and left.
Sugar and Brooklyn Transit were
also losers to the extent of over two
points. A number of other prominent
industrials lost between / and 2 points.
but the general list reacted only a
fraction. There were some violent re-
coveries from the low level and the
closing was feverish and greatly ex-
cited, and at net losses all through the
list Speculative excitement was in
creased by the fact that the bank state
ment was withheld until 10 minutes
before the close of the trading Efforts
to close accounts in the short time re
naming made the market furiously ae-
tive. The loss in cash shown by the
statement is somewhat greater than
expected, which is doubtless brought
over from last weeks condition by the
average system Of computations

FOUND IN EAST BROOKFIELD.

East Brookfield, Nov 4.-The
attendance Of people passing on
Main street was attracted last
night by the peculiar antics of a
boy near the bridge across the head of
Lake Lashaway. He leaped and ran,
seemingly oblivious to the fact that a
growing crowd was watching him FL
nally, officer George Bolac was in
formed and he took the boy into Gus
tody.
Nothing could be got from him ex-
cept a few meaningless sentences. Last
evening The Spy reporter and officer
Bolac visited the lookup and looked
over the boy closely. He appeared to be
about II years old and IL feet in
height. His clothes consisted of a blue
coat with army buttons, dark trousers
and a small cap To all interrogations
he returned no answers, in some cases
merely repeating the questions in a
high pitched voice.
This morning an account was seen in

cester. Accordingly Officer Bolac was
informed, and this afternoon te4Wphoned

LAYING NEW TRACKS.
Worcester & Suburban Blasting It's
Way Through Mount Pleasant Ledge.

Way Trough Mount Pleasant Ledge.
Leicester, Nov. 4.-The blasting of
the long ledge on Mount Pleasant is
proceeding fast and by the last of next
week the stone will be cleared out in
readiness for laying the new tracks for
the Worcester and Suburban Railway.
The soft rock is being hauled to the
stone crusher and crushed, and makes
excellent filling to be put around the
railroad ties.
Contractor John O'Gara has 40 teams
at work all told and the work is be-
ing rushed. Rails are laid from the
Spencer line to Edward Warrens,
which is about half of the 5000 feet of
state highway to be constructed. Next
week the track will be laid west in
stead of east, beginning at c. w. Bau-
der's, and connecting with that laid
this week
The November election this year
promises to be quiet and it is not
thought a very large vote will be
polled. Eugene D. Marchessault and C.
H. Allen of Spencer, rival candidates
for the office of representative from
the sixth Worcester district, have both
been in town several times this week,
looking after their interests.
The board of selectmen at a recent
meeting talked over the street railway
law of 1898 and voted that they We're
opposed to its effects. They came out
in favor of having an electric railway
passing within the town limits paying
for its franchise and bearing some of
the expense of spHnkling streets along
the track and removing snow from the
track.
The Leicester Academy foot ball team
exists on paper, but not a single game
has been played by the eleven. Lack
of funds in the treasury is given as the
principal reason for the inactivity, as
no money is available for guarantees
to visiting teams.

New York clearing house institutions
has not shown a deficit before since
1898. But for six weeks past the sur
plus has been near the vanishing point,
and at least half and sometimes more
of the individual members of the clear
ing house have been below the legal
reserve. They have not sought to build
up surplus in that time, but have
apparently been content to discriminate
in the calling of loans against collat-
eral which did not please them, and
with their security thus improved, to
keep their funds loaned up to the limit
of the legal allowance.

SEND ALL HOME
Administration Decides on a Lib
eral Construction of the
Treaty
Requiring This Country to Trans
port Spanish Soldiers Back
to Spain.
Provision Will Be Stretched to
Cover Civilian Officials and
Their Families.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-At the cabi.
net meeting it was decided to construe
that portion of the treaty with Spain
regarding the return of Spanish SOL
ldiers and prisoners of war in the most
liberal way. By the terms Of the treaty
the United States agreed to transport
all Spanish soldiers and prisoners of
war serving in the conquered territory
to Spain. Quite number of disputed
questions have been raised in connec-
ton with the repatriation of the Span
ish soldiers serving in the Philippines
and these have been the subject of con-
siderable correspondence between Gen.
eral Otis and the Spanish representa-
tive at Manila. In the peace treaty va
rious terms are used, Spanish SOL
diers;" Spanish prisoners" prisoners
in the hands of insurgents" etc. After
discussing the question, the cabinet de-
cided to construe the language of the
treaty literally, indeed to stretch it not
only to cover all Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the insurgents who are
now falling into our hands, but their
families and all Spanish civilian officials
and their families. All will be trans
ported to Spain at the expense of the
United States.
Secretary Root has no information as
to how many Spanish prisoners remain
on, the islands.

CENSORSHIP TOO SEVERE.

The Dem ocracia, an American Supporter,
Suspends Publication at Manila.
MANILA, Dec. 25.-The newspaper
Democracia, the organ of a coterie
of Filipinos, including the supreme
court judges. favoring American con-
troll in the Philippines, has announced
that it has decided to suspend publica-
ton. The paper was started at the
suggestion and under the patronage of
the Philippine advisory commission,
headed by Professor j. G.. Schurman.
The Democracia prints single page in
big type. In the statement accompa-
nying the announcement of its suspen-
sion the editor says he has been directed
by the provost marshal to retract GER
tain criticism of the clerical methods
adopted in regard to the management
of schools and adds:
Recognizing the authority of the
provost marshal we have no recourse
except to comply and have decided to
suspend publication until the present
extraordinary conditions regarding
press matters disappear. When we
know what laws rule us, by what code
we are judged and to whose jurisdic-
ton press matters are amenable, The
Democracia will reappear."
The paper has generally been warm
supporter of the administration.

bong that Aguinaldo has crossed the
mountains near Bayom bong, going
