FINANCIAL SUMMARY.

New York, Dec 1.-The stock mar
ket was fairly firm today at times.
Trading was almost entirely profess
sional and fluctuations were within
narrow limits. In the early part of
the session a good advance in Rock
Island carrying it to above 155. Later
there was a slump and it declined
sharply carrying the whole list with
it. z: On the recession the buying was
of good character and it looks as if
copper stocks were being used as a
club to keep the market down until in
-siders can load up preparatory to the
usual January boom which will prob
ably come along ahead of time We
advise purchasing on all set-backs for
big profits. - ~. "

in Charge
Defalcations Commenced Many Years
Ago and Have Been Und-

Ballston Spa, N. Y, Dec. 4.-The
been closed pending am examination
by national bank examiner. 1t is
stated HAT the closing of the banks
doors followed the discovery of irregu-
larities in the accounts of the teller
Charles E. Fitcham. The bank began
business in 1865. Judge J. S. Lamor-
eaux succeeded George West aus presi-
dent early in October of this year and
H. J. Donaldson succeeded to the vice
presidency. The new executive Off
GERS began at once thorough investi-
cation of the banks affairs and discov-
cred indications of defalcation on the
part of Teller Fitcham. The investi-
cation was pursued until it was seen
that the defalcation had begun many
years ago and attained large figures.
Bank Examiners Graham and Van
Vranken were sent for and Monday be-
gan a thorough examination. At the
closing of banking hours they reported
shortage of 100000. The directors
then decided to close the bank pending
an Investigation and a warrant for
Fitcham's arrest was issued. Fitcham
was bonded to the amount of $1,000.
He has a wife and one daughter. Pres
ident Lamo1eaux said that it was not
possible, to determine the amount of
Fitcham's defalcation without an in
spection of the outstanding certificates
of deposits and depositors' pass books
The examination, he said, shows the
teller alone is responsible. Mr.. Lam
oreaux added that it is not thought pos
sible that any loss cam come to depos
| itors or certificate holders as the bank
has a surplus of 100000, which it is
hoped will nearly meet the deficit and
! leave the banks capital of 100000 un
! impaired.
An examination of the bank by Elk
aminer Van Vranken last August fail
ed to disclose any irregularity in the
accounts.
Fitcham is i'll at his residence where
he is under arrest and guarded by two
officers.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Chicago. Dec. 5.--Wheat: Gables
were 5sc higher today in response to-
our advance yesterday. Local prices
were up 1ac and Immediately sold up
to 7GA @Mc for the May option. The
drought in the winter wheat section
still continues and with the enormous
buying which has developed the past
few days, is going to put wheat at the
top price. There was some realizing
which checked the advance and prices
sagged off 5sc. Considerable strength
soon developed, the market selling up
to 7611s when break occurred which
took the market down Ac on heavy
selling. 1t is but natural that there
should be some reaction. In fact it
is absolutely necessary for a bull mar
ket to break a cent of two occasionally,
to keep tie deal in a healthy condi-
tion. We strongly urge you to buy
wheat on all SOFT spots. 1t is bound
to go higher.
Corn opened with sales from ss@Ac
higher than yesterdays closing, and
on heavy buying continued the ad-
vance until another Ac was added
making the price for May 6S1ac. Corn
has had a good advance and there may
be a break temporarily, but under
conditions existing and the great de-
mand for it, higher price should
surely follow and our prediction of zoe
corn will be realized sooner than anti
cipated.
Oats opened higher under light re-
ceipts and in sympathy with wheat
and corn, and sold 1c higher than
yesterday. Oats will sell at SO cents
or over
Provisions, too, have had another
good advance and showed strong at sc
cents higher for pork. Lard is very
firm, advancing 25c tierce today.

The war in South Africa, says M. Du-

how little it costs a nation, that so
treats people in it's fierce and inhuman
pursuit of ~ains on which it has set
its mind, to sacrifice noble thoughts

DECLINES RESPONSIBILITY.
Bulsaria's Reply to Diplomatic Agent
Dickinocn.

New York. Dec. .4.-The Bulgarian
government reply to United States
Diplomatic Agent Dickineon's note has
just been made public by the Austro-
hungarian foreign minister at Vienna,
says the Vienna correspondent of The
World. It was written by Mr.. Danief
Bulgaria's minister of foreign affairs,
and contains the following words:
Il am surprised that you have come
to the conclusion that the United
States will hold Bulgaria responsible
for Miss Stones death. 1 must hold
it certain that the violence used by thc
brigands can be only accountable by
your protracted negotiations.
"The Bulgarian government declines
all responsibility
In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent and the hope is ex-
pressed that the United States will
hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss
Stones safety.

Seneca Disaster.

Seneca Disaster.
Adrian, Mich, Dec. 4.-Engineer A.
T. Strong and Conductor George j.
Martin Of Wabash train No. 4, which
collided last Wednesday night with
train 13, Jus beyond Seneca, causing
frightfm dess :uction among the two
carloads of Italian immigrants which
formed part of train 13, testified be-
fore the coroner's jury which is inves:
tigating the disaster. Conductor Mar
tin, the first witness, testified that his
orders, which he read to Engineer
Strong instructed him to pass train 1S
at Seneca. He testified that he did not
hear the engineers signal for Seneca
station and as soon as he discovered
that the tra'u had passed the station
he attempted to pull the emergency
brake cord. The brakeman, however,
already had done this. Conductor
Martins testimony brought out the
fact that in the coaches with double
windows signals from the engine
whistle could not be heard by the con-
ductor and brakeman:
Engineer Strong was sworn next.
He said that he read his order, handed
trains. Nos. 13 and 8, at Sand Greek, in
stead of one at each place, as the or
der was written. He accounted for the
error by the fact that the wind was
blowing when the order was handed
him and that while he was reading it
one corner of the paper was blown
over, hiding the word Seneca When
he had finished reading the order, he
testified. he did not understand that
the word Seneca had appeared in it.
Engineer Strong admitted that Con-
ductor Martin read this order to him
but said that he must have Inislnder-
/, stood it then. AS soon as he discover
ed train 13 on the same track and COM
Ing toward him, he shut off the steam
and applied the emergency brake. ,.t T.
Brakeman Dittman was the next wit
mess but he brought ont nothing new.

FAVoRs CONSOLIDATION.
Annual Report of the iowa Railroad
Commissioners,

Des Moines, Dec. 4.-The annual re-
port of the Iowa railroad commission
ers, which was made public during the
day, after referring to the progress of
consolidation in the state, comments
as follows:
"The absorption of the smaller lines
by the larger lines will be, on account
Of the safeguards provided by the
railway laws of this state, beneficial
rather than otherwise to the people
Of the state. It has had the effect not
only Of placing the weaker lines in a
higher class, thereby reducing the
maximum freight rates proposed by
the board, but also of making a con-
tinous mileage rate in case of ship
ments that previous to this absorp-
tion had to bear the burden of 10 or
more short distance or local rates."

Washington, Dec. 4.-The cabinet

of the court were in most respects sat
isfactory to the administration. 1t was
pointed out that the ultimate results
of the decisions are in a measure spec
ulative at present with the exception
that the> customs duties collected in
this col stTy on goods shipped from
the Philippines since the ratification
Of the Paris treaty will have to be re-
funded. 1t. is not thought, however,
that the aggregate will be large and
Secretary Gage expects that it will be
within one million dollars. He called
attention to the fact that a great por-
tion of the imports from the Philip
pines are admitted free Of duty under
our general tariff laws, not ably, hemp,
which is a leading staple in the ISL
ands
The present tariff in operation in the
Philippines, Mr.. Gage thinks, will need
little or no revision. 1t was prepared
after the most thorough investigation
and is said to be highly satisfactory
to the business interests of the islands
The preparation of tariff on Philip
pine importations into the United
States, however, is expected to con
sume consid derable of the time of con
gress, but there, is expectation that
pending final settlement of the ques
ton, congress by joint resolution may
continue the duties imposed by th'
Dingley tariff and thus, if it is SO dis
posed, cut off flood of imports whicl
might follow the announcement tha
all duties were removed.
