COMMERCIAL

Stocks Tumbled From a Variety of
 Causes.
A STRIKE AVERTED.

New York, September 29.-With call money up to 35 per cent and a numbe: of other adverse circumstances today's stock market received a very severe shake-up, the net losses in many active issues ranging from to 10 per cent. Other features that combined to un- settle the market were disquieting re- ports concerning the prOlongation of the coal strike and the undOubtable fact that London and the continent are un- loading Americans in large blocks.
 The market opened weak and lost all around, LOndons attitude having 1 marked effect in that direction. Call money opened at 15 per cent and went off a point or two, but soon rose to 20. In the second hour of the afternoon session 9 per cent was the quoted price. and the highest figure of the year. O. per cent, was reached in the last half hour.
 It was in the late trading that prices melted most, and the decline was un- checked at the close.

MEN OF APACHE
 FOR MORRISON
The Candidates Reception at St Johns
 and Concho.

St. Johns. September cS Cvia Hol- brook, September 29).-Hon. Robert F.. Morrison last night addressed the larg- est and most enthusiastic crowd that has assembled here in a long time. He was most warmly received by his old friends, democrats and republicans alike. He spoke for more than an hour on the current issues of the day, and gave his democratic opponent some hard nuts to crack on the tariff. the trusts and labor. Tn fact he discussed all the topics that pertain to Arizona politics.
 He showed up in relief the democrat ic record of duplicity with labor. and the extravaganza c, the party in terri torial affairs. The people cf Apache county are friends of MT Morrison, and are strong for protection. especial ly for American wool. The sheepmen of this county will not favor man who advocates a return to democratic conditions with the attendant Accent wool This will be great republican year here
 MT. Morrison also had a fine meeting at COnoho. Alfred Ruiz interpreted his speech to the Mexican population. Mir. Morrison is known to almost every enc in this county. and all have the utmost confidence in him.

fEIGNED WAR
 AT FORT RILEY
Solution Of an Interesting Mll-
 ii8ry Problem
The Outrageous Weather Is Sufficient to Give 10 the ManeuVers the Appearance of Actual Warfare in Real Life

Fort Riley. Ran, September 29.- Marching over a soggy field swept at frequent intervals by a binding rain driven by forty-mile gale, the men of the maneuver division carried out their days programme in splendid style. The work was without flaw and at the conclusion of the days work the um- pires pronounced that it was the most satisfactory undertaking that has so far been carried out in the maneuvers.
 In working out the problem of the day it was presumed that a blue force with headquarters at Abilene, Kan, was operating against a brown force advancing from the east. A division of the latter army was presumed tn have already reached Stockdale, Kan. Col onel George E. Rodney of the artillery corps and in command Of the blues was Camped on the banks of the Republican river On the Fort Riley reservation. His command comprised the Sixth bat talion of engineers acting as infantry the Nineteenth Twentieth and Twenty eighth batteries Of field artillery and
 the First squadron of the Eighth caval- ry. The plan Of the day for Colonel
 Rodney was to make a demonstration
 in force toward Stockdale to gain in formation of the enemy. said to be about 10000 strong.
 TOmCrrCw's programme is to be the attack and defense of a convoy. The
 latter will consist of fully 100 wagons. and it is thought the days work will present one of the most interesting of tha SprinG Of rDone1IVarS
 The weather tonight is about as des- perate for field work as can we'll be ] imagined. A cold wind is blowing at ! the rate of forty miles an hour from

 of Limitations

St Louis, September 2o.-The first days proceedings in the trial O: Robert M.

room during the night Two little dogs belonging to the Zolas passed the night in their masters bedroom. They were alive this morning. It is believed that they owe their lives to the fact that one slept on the bed and the other on chair. thus escaping the heavy carbOnic gas which settled near the floor.
 A druggist, who was the first to ar rive at the house to attend Zola and his wife said: When I entered the bedroom ZCla was lying partly on the floor. No special odor likely to cause asphyxiation was distingushable. ZOl1 and wife did not present exclusive symptoms of asphyxiation. Their faces were Contorted and their lips were blocdless, but not violet colored. think the accident was probably caused by Iolas inhaling the heavy carbOnic gas which lay mainly below the level of the high bed. This would account for the wife's escape. They were not suffocated on the bed. ZOla was awak- ened by the effects Of the gas and tried
 to rise. but he was seized with vOmit- ing. tainted. and fell to the floor,
 where he suffocated. The wife also was overcome by gas. but to a less degree than her husband
 The co.nmissary of police who was summoned to the Zola residence said in his report to the prefect of police: The : hea ting stove was not lighted and there
 was no odor of gas. It Is believed that ! Zola's death was due to accidental poisoning by drugs. Two dogs found l in the bedroom are alive In a second 1 rs0ort the cOmmissary of police en- l dorsed the medical opinion that Zola' death was accidental and due to as phyxiatioE-

 of his blood and of the atmosphere of

Paris. September 29-Emile ZOla, the novelist, who gained additional prom thence in recent years because of his defense of the Jews and of former Cap tain Dreyfus, was found dead in his Paris house this morning. AsphyXia ton resulting from the fumes from a stove in his bedroom is given as the cause of death.
 M. ZCla and his wile retired at 10 o'clock last night. Mrs. Zola was seri- ousIy i'll when the room was broken in- to this morning At about noon she was removed to a private hospital where she recovered consciousness for a short time, and was able to briefly explain to the magistrate what had happened. Zola and his wife returned to Paris from their country house at Medan yesterday. owing to a sudden spell of cold weather the heating stove in their bedroom was ordered lighted. The stove burned badly, and the pipes of the stove are said to have been out of order.
 To the magistrate Mrs. Zoia explained that she awolle early this morning with a splitting headache. She wakaned her husband and asked him to open the window. Sne saw nm rise anu d - tempt to move toward the window, but he staggered and fell to the floor un- conscious. She tainted at the same mo- ment and was therefore unable to give the alarm. She does not kEOw of heI husbands death, and it is feared she may suffer a relapse when informed of it. It is thought tonight, however, that she will recover.
 The death of Zola, which only became generally known late this afternoon has caused a great sensation in Paris and this evening there was a constant stream of callers at the Zola residence IL was reported here during the day that there were evidences of suicide D the death of Zola. Nothing so far has developed to substantiate this theory and the statement by the wife to the magistrate seems to disprOve it.
 Zola dined with good appetite yes terday and the servants of the house hold ate of the same dishes. No un- usual sound was heard from the bed

 MT. Shaw said he had never seen any gcod reason why the banks holding government deposits secured by gov crnment bonds should be required to carry a reserve fund against it. First, il is a deposit rot likely to be called in time of stringenCy and, second, if called the collateral will always sell for cash in excess of the deposit. He has. since he toCk charge e. the treas ury. contemplated relieving the banks of this burden.
