FRIDAY. July D.
The reactionary tendency in both the do
mestic and London money markets was suf-
fcently pronounced to-day to stimulate buy
ing OF securities In each centre. Foreign
arbitrago houses transacted the largest bust
ness they have done In several weeks and their
purchases on balance were conservatively es-
timated ut 10000 shares. 1t Is possible that
some OF this buying was for two
three wc.known traders who are abroad.
The effect Of these purchases. together with
free offerings OF bills against prospec-
tive grain shipments next month. depressed

tons in stocks were tho largest since the be-
ginning OF the half year. They were also re-
marknbly well distributed. In over a dozen
stocks tho transactions were IN excess OF
10000 shares.

POSTAGE TO BE REDUCED TO ONE
CENT.

The enormous increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the United
States mails makes it certain that the
rate of postage must eventually be re-
duced to one cent an inc The presi-
dent who succeeds in getting such a
measure through congress will hold
a high place in the esteem of the peo-
pie, but no higher than the esteem in
which everybody nolds Hostetter's

an unequalled record in reducing the
sickness of mankind. 1t gets at the
starting point of disease by acting up

vAPOR sHRoUDS WINDSOR RUINS.
No More Bodies Found and Many of
the Missing Located.

New York, March 19.-Little prog
ress was made today in moving the de
bris of the Windsor hotel fire in the eff
fort to discover the bodies supposed to
lie buried there. All day long over 200
men labOred as much as the misty.
muddy, steaming of broken
stones, twisted iron and crushed brick
would admit. A heavy. Sitting vapor
arose, continually retarding progress Of
the workers, and keeping them for
most part away from the center of the
ruins. From Fifth avenue much of the
debris that had fallen into the street
had been cleared away and the men
were able to reach a portion of the
first floor. What small portions of wall
could be blasted down were leveled,
but the great pillar of brick at the For
ty-seventh street end still stood.
Up to midnight no bodies had been
discovered, and no more deaths from
injuries received at the fire were report
ed from the hospitals, but a number of
the injured are in a serious condition.
The death list remains the same as
yesterday-siXteen-and the list of
missing has been reduced to 40, as a
number of those previously ~unaccount-
ed for and reported in person and had
been located by friends.

Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known 80 years ago in New
York as the "Mad Poet" which show
that he had a vein of great shrewdness,
such as is often possessed by people
who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table in a
New York hotel quietly eating his sim
pie dinner when two young men took
their seats at the anne table. They were
not gentlemen in the best sense of the
word, and it occurred to them that they
might have some sport with the poor
poet. Consequently one of them said in
an unnecessarily clear tone:
81 have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except Melon
aid Clarke. / have "a great admiration
for his poems, and | would give Il great
deal to see the man"
When be paused, the mad poet leaned
forward ard said with evident gratIica-
ton:
"Sir, l am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see"
The young man stared Mt him with
much rudeness for a moment, and then,
drawing "a quarter from his pocket, ho
laid it on the poets plate, saying,
''That's for the sight"
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
slant, and then, placing it in his pocket,
he took out a "York shilling, l2i
cents. This he handed to the young
man, saying gravely, "Chlldren half
price. "-Youth's Companion.

generous treatment that the Americans
administer to the native prisoners and
wounded seemed to influence the in
surget army powerfully. In the opin-
ion Of the Americans, however, the Fill
Pine leaders will continue to provoke
fighting just as long as they can retain
their hold upon their followers, be-
cause they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
The enemy has twice as many men
on their firing line as they have arms,
and the fact that so few arms are cap
tured by the Americans is because the
guns of the wounded Filipinos and
many of those who surrender are spir-
tied away.
The armed tugs Laguna de Bay and
Oeste have returned to San Pedro Ma
cati and reported the results of their
tour of the lake. Last Friday morning
they shelled the town of Moringi, the
rebels fleeing with out making any re-
Spouse to the fire. The Americans
landed a party which destroyed a guam
tity of stores and all the buildings ex-
cept the church
The expedition then proceeded to Ma
jayguy, where a sugar mill and saw mill
were destroyed.
On arriving at Santa Cruz, a town of
] 200 inhabitants, it was found that the
enemy was strongly ~entrenched and
prepared to defend the position, as
sisted by two gunlboats and several
launches. Moreover, the mouth of the
river was blocked with rocks and bam-
boo.
IA few shells caused an exodus of the
citizens, but not of the enemy's troops.
The Americans did not attempt a land
ing.
Capt. Grant, who is charge of the ex-
petition, asks for reinforcements and
will probably take Santa Cruz tomor-
row.

them, and at this expecte attack the

Their ammunition ran low. Some of
the men only had four rounds. They
were obliged to fix bayonets and charge

retreat successfully.
Three Americans were killed and
twenty-one wounded.
