INTERESTS GERMAN PRESS.
Financial Editors Of the Empire Comr
ment on Securities Company.
fp, proaaN


Berlin, Nov. 16.-The transaction re.
sulting in the formation OF the Northern
Securities company is receiving much
attention in the German financial press.
The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes a
warning against the exchange Of Ameri.
can railroad shares for bonds on the
basis of the present high quotations OF
the former.
The Berliner Tageblatt complains that
the group of financiers controlling tho
common stock of the railroads comprised
in the amalgamation will withdraw theis
holdings, and that the holders of the
majority of the shares reached their de-
cision without consulting with the mi-
nority and says such action contradicts
German ideas of justice. The Tageblatt
concludes it's comment as follows:
'At any rate, the suddenncss with
which the Americans conclude their
financial operations shows what We
would have to expect if the United States
acquired a still greater influence over
German business life than they have
done up to the present time"
The Boerson Zeitung says the matter
does not interest the German market aS
much as spectators pretend.

TOM CoNsIDINE TEsT1F1Es.
Brother Of Meredith's Slayer Proves 9
Good Witness for Defense.
(BX Associated Press.l

(BX Associated Press.)
Seattle, WASH, Nov. 16.-Thomas ].
Considine, brother of John w. Considine,
also under charge of murder of Chief Of
Police Meredith, testified in behalf of his
brother and made an excellent witness
for the defense.
He detailed minutely and at length
the movements Of himself. and John on
the afternoon of the killing and gave a
version of the fight in the drug store
showing Meredith the aggressor through
out.
Rigid cross-examination failed to shake
his testimony on any important point.
He himself had carried no revolver on
that day and took no part in the fight
until called upon by John while the latter
was graphing with Meredith.
The first discharge of Meredith's shot
gun and the belief that John had been
seriously hurt paralyzed Tom for a few
moments and he was reused to action
only by the calls from John.
In this portion of his testimony, Tom
broke down on the stand and sobbed
aloud.
John Considine was visibly affected by
his brothers emotion and his wife and
father who sat near were moved to tears.
Other witnesses of the day testified to
hav1ng seen Meredith on the afternoon
of the shooting and to seeing the drN
store fight.
The defense expects to close it's case
today.

Iu the meanwhile we had been max
ing headway ut u good pace for boat
so overloaded, and we had shipped but
iittle water in the process. We were
now close in; 30 or 40 strokes and we
should beach her: for the ebb had al
ready disclosed narrow belt OF sand
below the clustering trees. The gig
was no longer to be feared; the little
point had already concealed it from our
eyes. The ebb-tide, which had 60
cruelty delayed us, was now making
reparation, and delaying our nssail-
ants. The one source of danger was
the gun.
IF l durst," said the captain. I'D
stop and pick off another man."
But il was plain that they meant
nothing should delay their shot. They
had never SO much as looked at their
fallen comrade. though he was not
dead, and l could see him trying TO
crawl away.
Ready" cried the squire.
"Hold." cried the captain, quick as
an echo.
And he and Eedruth backed with q
great heave that sent her stern bodily
under water. The report fell in at the
same instant Of time. This was the
| first that jim heard. the sound OF the
squire's shot not having reached him.
When the ball passed. not one of US
precisely knew; but l fancy it must
have been over our heads, and that the
wind of it may have contributed to our
disaster.
At any rate, the boat sunk by the

So far there was no great harm. No

ashore in safety. But there were all
our stores in the bottom, and. to make
things worse, only two guns out OF
| five remained in n state for service.
Mine had snatched from my knees and
held over my head, by sort Of instinct.
AS for the captain. he had carried his
over his shoulder by bandoleer. and.
like a wise man, lock uppermost. The
three had gone down with the boat.
To add to our concern we heard voices
already drawing near us in the woods
along shore; and we had not only the
danger Of being cut of front the stock

fear before us, whether il Hunter and
Joyce were attacked by half dozen

The cry he gave was echoed, not only
by his companions on board, but by a
great number of voices from the shore,

other pirates trooping out from
among the trees and tumbling into
their places in the boats.

NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCToR-END OF THE FIRST DAYS
FIGHTING.
We made our best speed across the
strip OF wood that now divided us from
the stockade, and at every step we
took the voices of the buccaneers
rang nearer. Soon we could hear their
footsteps as they ran, and the crack
ing Of the branches as they breasted
across q bit OF thicket.
Ibegan to see we should have brush
for it in earnest, and looked to my prim-
ing.
Captain" said I. "Trelawney is the
dead shot. Give him your gun; his
own is useless"
They exchanged guns. and Trelaw-
silent and cool as he had been since
the beginning of the hustle, hung mo
ment on his heel to see that oil was
ft for service. At the same time, OBJ
serving Gray to be unarmed, handed
him my cutlass. 1t did oil our hearts
good TO see him spit on his hand, knit
his brows, and make the blade sing
through the air. 1t was plain from
every line of his body that our new
hand was worth his salt.
Forty PAGES further we came to the
edge of the wood and saw the stockade
in front of US. We struck the inclos-
ure about the middle Of the south side,
and, almost at the same time seven mu-
tineers-Job Anderson, the boatswain,
at their head, appeared in full cry at
the southwestern corner.
They paused, as If taken aback, and
before they could recover not only the
squire and I, but Hunter and Joyce
from the block-house had time to fire.
The four shots came in rather scat
tering volley; but they did the busi-
ness; one Of the enemy actually fell,
and the rest, without hesitation, turned
and plunged into the trees.
After reloading, we walked down the
outside of the palisade to see the ALLEN
enemy. He was stone dead-shot
through the heart.
We began to rejoice over our good
success, when just at that moment q
pistol cracked in the bush, ball whis-
tied close pastmy ear, and poor Tom Red
ruth stumbled and fell his full length on
the ground. Both the squire and re-
turned the shot; but as we had nothing
to aim at, it il probable we only
wasted powder. Then we reloaded. and
turned our attention to poor Tom.
