COSTA RIGA DEMANDS TERMS
For the Surrender 20 Great Britain OF
an Accused Murderer.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 2-The gov
eminent of Costa Riea has definitely re-
fused to surrender Rutherford. the man
charged with the murder of the Ameri-
can citizen, Archer. unless the British
government guarantees not to infiict CAPT
tai punishment. 10 which the government
cannot accede. thus closing the case 80
far as Jamaica is concerned.
Early in 1877 an American OF the name
of Post Harding Archer arrived In ia
macia for the purpose OF taking up land
and engaging in fruit cultivation To all
appearances he possessed considerable
means in cash and personal effects
Archer secured a property known as
Eden Vale, in the parish of Portland. a
most valuable place for bis purpose. but
situated on the very outskirts OF civiliza-
ton and reached by a road that led no
farther. AS a companion and partner in
his venture. Archer secured the services
OF jamaican named Rutherford.
October p. 1857 the body Of Archer
was found in an unfrequentsd spot, in a
pool of blood. The body showed two pis-
tol-shot wounds, one through the brain
and the other through the heart. There
was no weapon found and the flannel
undershirt, shirt and coat were buttoned
up and found to be unperfosated by the
bullet that entered the heart The body
also lay face downward on a pile OF
broken stones. yet the face was not
bruised. The effects of the deceased
were found 70 i.av- been stolen.
In spite sr these facts the police, after
= s7of, q Of
the coroner's jury. The tprenerETAOIN
suicide. with Nhich ;hey went before
the coroner's jury. The coroner. who was
the resident magistrate, refused 70 allow
such a verdict on the evidence. and the
recorded verdict was that "the deceased
came TO his death from the effects OF
two pistol shots, but by whom discharged
does not appear from the evidence. As
the circumstances surrounding the death
OF the deceased are so suspicious. We
would suggest that the police be instruct
ed to institute further vigilant inves;iga-
tan"
In january, 1895 the government form
ally notified the United States consul that
Archer had committed suicide. Mean
while. Mr. Elmworthy had kept up
secretary, pointing out the criminal negli-
gence and incapacity Of the people, but
his representations had no affect Early
in the present year there was a shutting
OF the police and one result was the
transfer TO Portland OF one OF the
shrewdest and most active inspectors on
the force Inspector Mcleod. In the in
term, Mr.. Elmworthy, a justice OF the
peace and friend OF Archer. had been
quietly carrying on a private investiga-
ton with view to the ultimate clear
ing OF the memory OF his friend from
the stain OF suicide and 70 bring the
murderer TO Justice He placed the re-
suits in the hands Of Mcleod and after
that officer united with Mr..
EIworthy in urging the government 20
order a re-opening of the inquiry. This
was done. Rutherford. who. Immediately
after the holding OF the inquest. disap-
peared from the island. was located in
Costa Rica. where he was arrested on an
extradition warrant from the jamaican

Results 10 Some Net Gains of
Striking Proportions.
BIG TOTAL OF OPERATIONS
Some Late Reactions Occur

New York, Nov. 2-The stock market
took on show of great anxiety and
strength today. and some very striking
net gains resulted. The general list. how

developed little activity. The operations.
which totalled 95o,aoS shares, were large
y confined to the professional element
The upward movement was obviously
based upon the notably easier tone OF the
money market. The large operations were
powerful pools and strong financial In
terests which have at command money
resources outside the usual money mar
ket circles. The prevailing opinion IN
Wall Street is that prices OF stocks would
move upwards easily IL the obstacle Of
stringent money were removed. The
large outstanding short interest in stocks
has been palpably uneasy for some time
past and any indication of relaxation In
the tightness of money makes them In
clined TO cover their short contracts The
professional pool operations in a number
of prominent stocks today obviously d.
rected against the bear contingent and
with good success. 1t is very probable,

in prices on account Of a growing public
interest III stocks. 1t is the period of the
year in which, under normal circum-
stances, the extra uses for money in the
moving of the crops begins to show dimin-
ution, releasing large funds for employ
ment in stock speculation. Expert opin-
ion, hodever, Is by no means unanimous
that funds would be released in the usual
volume this fall, owing 10 the marvellous
business expansion. Outside the highly
speculative industnrials. the movement
in the railroads centered in the South
western group. The special strength and
activity In Southern Pacific helped the
southwesterns and was based on current
rumors of REIMBURSEMENT of control. The
belated movement in cotton was a factor
of strength among both southern and
southwestern railroads. There were spe-
cial movements in Cleveland. Cincinnati
and st. Louis, and Chesapeake and Ohio.
and some demand for the coalers. The
upward movement in the Iron and Steel
stocks encountered difficulties, as did that

AMOUNTS 10 4 SLUMP
Domestic Stocks Pile Up and
Foreign Markets Weaken.
DECEMBER WHEAT 68 ~
Coarse Grains Lower and
Provisions Unchanged.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Liquidation by the
constant piling up of stocks and particu-
larly weak foreign markets caused a de-
.cided slump in wheat today, December
declining to s81kc. Part of the lass was
regained near the ned on covering, but the
market closed weak at decline of SO
&c Corn and oats declined 1sG4c each.
Provisions closed practically unchanged.
Wheat opened weak and showed very
little recuperative power. Prices remain
ed below yesterdays level throughout the
session. Nearly everything was against
the market and long wheat came out In
large quantities. The principal weaken
ing influence was the excess of visible
stocks this year compared with last, and
the fact that daily additions are being
made TO the oYer-supply. At this time
last year there were but 100000 bushels
in the visible, whereas now there are
100000 bushels are stored in Chicago,
against only 100000 a year ago. Heavy
cables and the promising condition of the
winter wheat. together with an excess
sively slack cash demand encouraged the
selling movement. Near the end OF the
session covering by shorts started a
slight really, but the market closed weak
within &c of the bottom. December
opened 1sc lower, at 691sG69llc, sold spar
ingly at 69Ac, declined to 6S12c, and closed
with sellers at 6S%. Chicago received 50
cars, one of which graded contract. Min
neapolis and Duluth got sos cars, COM
pared with 1,201 the same day year ago.
Total western primary receipts were $685.
COO bushels, against 1,536000 bushels last
EYnnrtS Atlantic in
wheat and flour equalled $4,000 bushels
Corn was active but weak, with wheat
Light clearances, a slow cash demand and
an estimate by a prominent statistician
that the worlds crop would amount to
2, COS 100000 bushels, against 2,416, 900 900
bushels last year also encouraged selling
under which the market dec:Sed steadily
until late in the session when claims of
disappointing husking returns, together
with covering by shorts caused, some re-
action. Receipts, 273 cars. December
opened &c lower at SIC, advanced to S11sc,
declined to 30Ac, and advanced to 1880
31c at the close.
Sympathy with the other grains and
heavy commission house selling weaken
ed oats. Estimates which made con-
increase in the worlds supply of
oats also had a depressing influence Re-

lower, at 229sq2224c, declined to 22asc and
closed at 221aq229sc.
A larger decrease in stocks than ex-'l
pected strengthened provisions early, but
the market finally yielded under heavy
selling by packers. The weakness IN
grains was also a handicap. January
pork after an advance of 10c, closed a
shade lower at $3.50; January lard a |
shade lower, at $5.25, and January ribs a |
shade higher, at 81. SOd4. 921k.
