brokers yesterday delivered stock pur-
chased on account Of the London 4
Globe and asked for payment they re-
cclvcd checks which were dishonorci.
This was followed to-day by the fall.

While the difficulties OF the firms
closely connected with the London n
Globe division were largely discount
ed, the repeated fall OF the hammer
this morning caused a great sensation.
II Is feared the full list Of failures Is
not yet known.
Trouble was disclosed on the Stock
Exchange yesterday In the West Aus
able fall In the shares OF the London
l. Globe Finance Corporation, limited,
and lie Roi Mining Company, limited.
Seven firms had checks returned by
the clearing house. This. the dispatch
added. does not imply failure. however.
ns 1t Is expected that the usual period
of grace allowed will enable the firms
to meet their engagements.
Almost the whole interest on the
Stock Exchange to-day centcred In the
West Australian market. the condition
of which sympathctically affected the
others. All the shares of the London

I.akevlews and lie Roi No. =. The
shares of the latter were yesterday
quoted Mt %. but to-day they are un-
saleablc Mt 4. The London & Globe Is
also heavily involved In the British
Columbian market. The situation Is
not yet cleared up. rs the rumors OF
arrangements to assist the London y
Globe are not credited In weii-h
formed circles. There is the greatest
Indignation against Whitaker wright
who is the fountain-head OF the con-
cern, and others OF the LONDON u
Globe group. There has been some
what Of n recovery in Lakeview since
last evening.
The chairman of the London & Globe

Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, the Tor,

British ambassador Mt Paris. The fail-
ure of the concern of which he Is the
head adds one more sorrow to the clos

preparing to start for South Africa, In
company with Lady Dufferln. in con-

woman's Advancement.

Chilllcothe. NO.. Dec. 31.-Hall
Caine, writing 10 the Sorosis, local
womnn's club, under date Of Greeba
castle. Isle of Man, says:
when one considers what the posi-
tion of woman was. even in the most
civilized countries, as recently as 100
years ago, and how high n place she
has now won for herself, not only In
the statute books of nations, but In
the field of art, one cannot but feel
that the change Is even more remark
able than some of the great material
developments which have distinguish
ed the century.
speaking as one who has seen life
in many countries, feel that 1t is
within the truth to say that the posi-
ton of woman is higher in America
than in any other part of the world.
For this reason American women
have, mo doubt, to thank their own
natural gifts and great independence
of mind, but they have also, l think.
to be grateful to the splendid chivalry
in the other sex, which is nowhere
more conspicuous than in the best type
of American gentlemen

CHINA ACCEPTS
TERMS OF PEACE

Pnrie. Dec. 31.-Princc Ching and III
Hung Chang have communicated 10
the foreign cnvoys an imperial cdict in
which the emperor declares that China
accepts the joint note and authorizes
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang to
negotiate and to ask FOR a suspension
OF hostilities.
Pckin. Dec. 31.--Thc Chinese plenipo-
tcptiarics have been unexpectedly or
dered to sign the preliminary joint note
and have notified the foreign ENJOYS to
that effect. The Chinese themselves
were greatly astonishcd at receiving
the imperial instructions. Neither LII
Hung Chang nor Prince Ching had ex-
pected success in pcrsuading the court
under ten days.
The cmperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note. but then Ell
deavor to get the best terms possible,
particularly In the matter Of limiting
the number of the legation guards and
also ns to the places where these are
to be located.
The plenipotentiarics are Instructed
to endeavor to limit the number OF
army posts along the line of railway
to as few as possible, and finally to re-
quest the powers not to destroy tho
forts but merely to disarm them.
Ii Hung Chnng's health is bad and
It Is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affix his signature to
an instrument. delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another plenipo-
Tertiary has been appointed. He was
dressed this morning and carried in n
chair to the residence Of Prince Ching.
with whom he held long consulta-
ton. Prince Ching then called upon the
doyen Of the diplomatic corps, the
Spanish minister, Senor de Cologan,
and requested him to notify the other
ENJOYS that instructions had been re-
ceived from the emperor to sign the
note.

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER. Gains 12 lbs. on Change of Food.

When change in food can rebuild a man 77 years of age. it is evidence that there is some value in a knowledge that can discriminate in the selection of prop CT food to rebuild the body. A few months ago the physician attending Warren s. Johnson of Colfax, Cal, IT years old, told him that death from old age would soon claim him. He suffered from general weakness and debility.
 An old lady advised him to quit coffee and drink Postum Cereal Food Coffee and to eat Grape-Nuts breakfast food every morn ing. He took the advice, and has gained twelve pounds Says he is as well as he ever was, and can take long trips in the do for a long dime.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York. September 27.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 The current of trade is still running full in nearly all lines, and in some the tide is still rising as shown by firmer tone or actual advances in the level of prices, except for those staples such as creals, hog products and cotton, which are dealt in on the exchanges. In distrib- utive trade the features are the contin- ued good tone of advices from the job ping trade west. northwest and south west, and on the Pacific coast, and the better retail trade reported at the east, due to the advance in the season. The talk of the widespread corn damage. due to late frosts, seems to have fallen fiat, viewed from the standpoint of corn prices and of trade reports from affected sections. A quieting down in demand for dry goods, usual at this season, is noted at many markets but these reports are accompanied by advices of enlarged dis tribution of clothing and footwear. De- mand for iron and steel, repressed by strikes and for other cause, has at last broken the usual trade limits, and is full and free in nearly all lines. Pig iron Is active and in large sale, and southern iron has again advanced in all markets While the excessive premiums oh tin plates and other strike-auecteu products have disappeared, the demand is so
