NEW YORK, October -. l p. NJ
AS indicated in our market letter or
last night high prices were TO be ex-
pected. and these were realized in the
early session of to-day's short mar
ket. No official confirmation coming
forth as regards the railroad deals
talked of yesterday, it was natural that
the opportunity would be taken adj
vantage of to realize profits, and that
is what occurred in the last hour OF
the market. The weakness of the
fractions. notably Metropolitan, con-
tributed somewhat to the desire to
realize profits on other securities. At
the same time the Indifferent action of
Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were
also factors that disturbed the regu-
larity of the upward movement.
The bank statement might be called
a good one, although it was expected
that a greater reduction in loans would
have appeared. The activity OF the
market was quite pronounced, and in
spite of the reaction it looks as II nego-
tiations for Encouragement OF the Sc
curities of the Northwestern railways
is likely to take place, and on any
further breaks early next week 1t would
seem good policy to buy stocks.
The news of the day was meagre,
except as TO the reorganization of the
Mexican National, the securities OF
which showed considerable strength in
spite of the weak market. The steel
stocks evidenced remarkable stability,
on favorable trade reports
The market closes virtually at the
low prices of the day, although COM
pared with the early part OF the week
very substantial advances are still to
the credit of numerous securities.

favorable character of the bank state

nent feature. reaching fractionally
higher price than yesterday but sub
sequently losing several points in

OF the building was a seething mass OF

awaken and alarm the guests, and soon
these were rushing through the corrid

There were in the hotel many fine
works OF art, including in the Franklin

Although the hour was late when the
fire broke out an immense crowd was
attracted.

London (By Cable) The Far East
ern situation continues an enigma to all
European observers Russia's apparent
withdrawal or modification OF her de-
mands quite fails to restore confidence
IN an amieable settlement of the prob
lem. 1t is pointed out with melancholy
truth by one English writer that trifling
with the Anglo-Russian incident at the
Tientsin railway Siding will probably
cost Great Britain at leasts 20 ooo 900
IN hard cash.
1t was the news Of this incident and the
possibility OF a conflict between Russia
and Great Britain, it is now learned.
which caused Botha's rejection Of Gen
eral Kitchener's peace terms.
Attention is directed more to Korea
than to China at the present moment,
the belief being general that the crisis
between Russia and Japan is really
grave.
There is ample information that Japan
is making energetic preparations for
war.
1t may be taken for granted in this
connection that Great Britain is fully
aware of all that Japan is doing and also
of her ultimate plans. The failure OF
the African peace negotiations may have
some effect upon Japans action.

Aguinaldo has violated any OF the laws
OF war and declines to take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States, he will
be tried by military commission to
be appointed by Major General Mac
Arthur.
This is the important feature OF in
structions sent by Secretary Root to
General Macarthur regarding !he dis
position to be made OF the prisoner.
General Macarthur will make no bar
gain with Aguinaldo, giving him free
dom in return for aid in establishing
recognition OF American sovereignty
He will inform Aguinaldo that the Gov
ernment is disposed to deal leniently
with him and he will be held for the
present as prisoner OF war.
He will be kept under close survcil-
lance, so as not to be able to communi-
cate with his former subordinates to the
injury OF the United States. He will be
allowed, ii he desires, to take the oath
OF allegiance and then to acquaint the
Filipinos generally with what he has
done and his views as to their future
course
1t was explained that notwithstand-
ing the fact that Aguinaldo was cap
tured, the President holds that his case
comes within the scope OF the amnesty
proclamation issued by General Mac
Arthur last summer. and the enabling
act recently passed by the Philippines
Commission.
