LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
With Exception of Rumored Activity
In American Securities Week Quiet.

London, July 20.-With the exception OF
renewed activity in American securities
last week was unusually quiet on the
stock exchange. The resignation Of the
premiership by Lord Salisbury had no eff
feet upon the market, which throughout
remained sluggish, South Africans being
rather weak. Various views are ex-
pressed by financial critics regarding the
rise here in American shares, but 1t is
generally believed that London is only
blindly following New York's lead, with
out much intelligence. Satisfaction,
however, is universally voiced regarding
the American crop outlook.
The money market during the week
has been easy owing to considerable gov
eminent disbursements. The harvest and
holiday requirements In addition to the
demands from Paris, are likely to alb
sorb any gold reaching the open mar
borrower for some time to come, the
prospects augur a steady money mar
ket.
Manchester, July 20.-The market last
week was generally quiet and unsatisfac-
tory, though prices were firm. Mean
while the inquiry for cloth is increas-
ing in various directions and the actual
demand, when 1t becomes workable
promises to be of fair dimensions. The
figures obtainable during the week for
Calcutta shirtings were generally not
such as to be entertained. There was
some Bombay and Madras business, but
the China trade was lethargic, while
some sampling purchases were made for
South America. Yarns were with a
quiet retail inquiry and prices were
barely maintained in the face of dearer
cotton,

ANDREE's FATE.
1t Is Now Known That He Was Muir
dered by Esqulmaux.

From the New York World.
Has Andree won the great victory for
| which he has so many times braved death
and paid for 1t with his life?
Recent evidence said to have been found
in the frozen north seems to prove that
the indomitable Swedish explorer dis
covered the north pole and died before
he could reveal his triumph to the world.
This evidence goes far 20 prove that An
dree and his companions, DIR. Fraen-
Stranberg and Knut Hjalmar F. Fraen-
KEEL, were murdered by savage Esquimaux
after they had made in safety the peril
GUS voyage in air and over ice from the
island Of spitzbergen, off the coast of
Norway, to the Hudson Bay country,
where they met their sad fate.
1t appears that Andree an his fellow
travelrs were slain at least three years
ago, two years after they nad sailed on
their strange voyage. The news filtered
through the arctic wilds, to. civilization
without great delay, ut for some reason
the balloon of the explorer, and other
property said to have been found and
never identified as his. and rhe report was
discredited
brought the news originally that the ex-
plorers had been murdered at Fort
Churchill, the furthermost post of the
Hudson Bay Company, in the wilds of
North Canada and on the shores of Hud-
son Bay. Soon afterward another native
runner. called "uuslde," arrived at Fort
Churchill with corroborative information.
The facts were later sent % London by
Rev. Ashton d. Aston. rector of the
Anglican churc-- at Fort Churchill, writ
ing to his uncle. RearsAdmiral Campion,
of the English navy. The ''huskie'' said
that he had met some Esquimaux hunters
who told him of wrecked balloon and
scientific instruments, which they asked
him to go with them to see. and of the
fact that the three men who had been. in
the balloon had been murdered ty natives.
Now, after three years, two pies and
the parts of several scientific instruments,
which have been identified as the prop
erty of the explorer, have been brought
into Fort Churcl.ul, it is said. The
.huskie' who brought in the relics saws
that he got them from memoirs of his
tribe.
So far there is no trace of the bones
of the three unfortunate men, nor have
any writings whatever been found The
point at which Andree and his compan-
ions are supposed to have been murdered
is in an almost direct line northwest OF
Spitzbergen and south of the United
States territory of Alaska.
Andree might have reached this point
by a course a little south of the north
pole, but as he carried with him all the
scientific instruments necessary to locate
his exact position at any time, 1t is not
thought possible that he could have fail
ed to reach the pole

LEAvENwoRTH RIOT OVER.
Arrival Of Cavalry Stopped the Raid o.
the Soldiers.

Leavenworth. Kas., July 20.-The In
ciplent riot. started late last night by
several hundred soldiers from Fort
Leavenworth. who demolished the house
of negro in the low quarter here fol-
lowing the stabbing of Eli Loucke, a
cavalryman, by an inmate of the place
ended quietly shortly efter midnight and
today all was quiet.
A company of the Fourth Cavalry ar
rived at a. m. and rounded up those
soldiers who had rot voluntarily return
ed to the post. Today Loucke was re-
ported to have n chance or recovery.
Groups of soldiers continue to discuss
the trouble and there wer threats to
finish up tonight the work Of last night
but it fs believed nc further trouble will
occur unless Loucke dies. The sentiment
is with the soldiers and there is mild
talk of organizing a vigilance committee
to drive out the tough characters and
thugs unless the police take decisive ac-
ton in that direction.

STALLINGS WILL
FIRE FIRST GUN
1T is SAID THAT JOHNSTON CAM
PAIGN WILL BE OPENED IN THIS
CITY WEDNESDAY NIGHTTIME
JOINT CANVASS.

Montgomery, July o.-(speeiaL)-It Is
stated here that the Johnston campaign
will open in Birmingham on Wednesday
night with a speech from Mr.. Stallings.
Some effort is being made to have Gov
ernor Johnston make his opening speech
in Mont gomery. Governor Jelks will not
accept a challenge to joint canvass.
and he has not yet decided to what ex-
tent he will go on the stump to I'LL ap-
pointments of his own.
The report has reached here that Chair
man Lowe has been inquiring into the
cost of printing the tickets and instruc-
lions for the primary, and distributing
them, and that the estimates are running
toward a couple of thousand dollars.
There are nineteen candidates in the race
between whom the expense will be d.
vided.
1t has been about concluded that Con-
gresham Wiley from this district is not
to have any opposition. Terry Richard
son has decided not to run, and no one
else is mentioned.

special trains to Rusk, Henderson coun-
ty, for the protection of a negro who

MINERS RETURN
TO THEIR HOMES
Only Work Now is Collection
of the Funds
SYSTEMATIC PLAN ADOPTED
Mr.. Mitchell Estimates That at Least
10000 Men Are Out on Strike
in the Anthracite Region.
Large Relief Fund.

Indianapolis. Ind. July z0.-The last Of
the miners who were here to make pro-
visions for carrying on the strike in the
anthracite field left the city today for
their homes. Only President Mitchell
and one or two Of the members of the
national executive board remain, and
President Mitchell expects to leave for
Wilkesbarre tomorrow or Tuesday.
The care of the national organization
now will be to see to the collection of the
defense fund with which to carry on the
strike. Secretary Wilson. who is the
financial head of the union, will be in
charge of this work and will lose no time
in providing to handle the sums. It is
believed that all the voluntary contribu-
lions from the various districts. sub
districts and local organizations will be
turned into his hands within the next
ten days. These contributions are esti-
mated at about 100000
Strikers Number 10000.
According to the estimate Of President
Mitchell the strikers in the anthracite
field number 1900 while the total num-
Der dependent on them is $4,000 and the
weekly expense is 100000 In District
No H. West Virginia (bituminous) he es-
Inmates that there are 5000 strikers
with 5000 dependents.
He estimates the revenue for defraying
strike expenses at 100000 and the rev.
enue from weekly assessments by dis
tricts as follows:
The two Pennsylvania districts 100000;
Ohio $4,000 Indiana (bloclS), $4,000; ILL
nois, $50, 600; Indiana (bituminous), &c.,
COO; Iowa, $4,000 Kansas, $4,000; Colo
rada, $1,000; Maryland. $1,000; Tennessee,
$1,000; Alabama, $4,000; Arkansas and
Indian Territory, $1,000; Kentucky. $780,
600; Missouri. 5000. Total. s244.0OO.
Estimated public contributions (weekly)
s25O,OOO. Grand total weekly income,
S494, 200.
A part of the contribution money has
already been turned in. The Ohio men
have handed Secretary Wilson q check
for their $4,000. Indiana ana Iowa are
expected to make their donations, and
the other districts will do the same.
Systematic Methods.
A systematic method will be adopted
sor canvassing for outside subscriptions
In the village cities. Their exact plan
of raising the subscriptions has not been
determined on.
1t Is probable, however. the central la
Dor unions in all cities where such Or
ganizations exist will be asked to take
charge of the raising or subscriptions,
which will be forwarded at once to Sec
rotary Treasurer Wilson. In some OF the
largest cities of the country, such as
Chicago, New York. Philadelphia and
others headquarters will be established
fl ON which the work will be conducted
and committees will be appointed to
make the canvass.
Some aid is expected to come from the
national Socialist organization.
The distribution of the funds will be
left almost entirely to the officers of the
anthracite districts. Money will be sent
to them to be used in relieving the de-
nendeuts

THE REFRESHING RAIN.
Last Night Was Delightfully."- Cool and
- 81 Suggested Autumn.

The long looked-for and occasionally
prayed for rain came yesterday morning
and for several minutes a miniature
deluge was in progress. Frequent show
ers fell at intervals during the after
noon, cooling the atmosphere and put
ting everybody and everything in better
spirits and condition. In fact last night
was exceptionally cool and pleasant,
with just a little tinge of early autumn
in the air and faint suspicion Of yell
low leaves in the woods.
The parks and various Sunday resorts
bore evidence yesterday of the changed
atmospheric conditions from mat of the
past several weeks. While a fair size
crowd patronizec the parks, still those
present at thes places could not be
counted by the thousands as has been
the case for several Sundays.
