ing Tuesday morning he remained there

nation when this report closed.

FUNERAL OF HERR KRUPP.
Theory That He Committed Suicide
Has Not 0uieted.

BERLIN, November A.-The funeral Of
Herr Krupp will take place from the little
old house where his father lived poorly
while striving to cast the first steel gun.
The viii Of the deceased gunmaker, accord
ing to q semi-auth oritative statement. pro-
vides that the works shall not be turned
into joint stock company under twenty
five years. Meantime. the revenues of the
whole property will go to the widow, and
after her death to the eldest daughter. The
value Of the estate. estimated by bankers
who were connected with Herr Krupp. Is
900. This does not include securities
owned by the deceased outside of his man
ufacturing plants, which may possibly
amount to as much more.
The suicide theory has not yet Quieted.
The Cologne Gazette says: Whether he
died of shock due to excitement and embit-
ternent over the attacks made upon him.
or whether, adjudging himself guilty, he
took his own life, are questions which,
however answered by the accusation itself,
must halt at his DEATH
The physicians who were In attendance
upon Herr Krupp have drawn up a state
ment, which for the present Is kept secret,
but 1t is understood that 1t declares he died
of apoplexy.
It appears that after Herr Krupp re-
gained consciousness on Saturday he in
sisted ON discussing with his solicitor, Herr
Korn, the prosecutions of the newspapers
for publishing accusations against him, and
that thereupon the second stroke followed.

SITUATION IN ICELAND
DISCOVERY OF IMPORTANT NEW
FISHING GROUNDS.
People Are Making Progress in a
Moral as Well as an Eco
nornic Way.

COPENHAGEN. Tuesday, November H.
A Danish navy officer, who has just -e-
turned from Iceland, gave the correspon-
dent Of the Associated Press here today
some interesting Information Of the fish
cries and conditions In Zealand. The Dan
ish government has observed that the fish,
ing area IL moving northward owing to
the large and destructive catch in waters
adjacent to the Scandinavian countries. 1t
has therefore undertaken a survey OF
waters near the Farce Islands, Iceland and
the regions in the vicinity of the polar
circle. This work Is conducted by the navy.
and the results are interesting and will
prove Of great value to the fishing inter-
ests Of Denmark. 1t has been discovered
that immense quantities of fish, especially
cod and herring. are to be found In those
waters. On a recent trip the Danish ship
DANA sometimes ploughed through shoals
Of these varieties for a long distance, when
they could be scooped up without any fish
ing tackle.
New banks were discovered, some Of them
Of great extent These appear to be new
homes for the fish. and they possess the
necessary requisites for feeding them and
rearing their young. The eyes OF English,
French, German and Norwegian fishermen
have been turned to Iceland and they are
beg1nnlng TO go LneTS III HuluDeIS lot
the purpose of participating in the catch.
As to Iceland proper, important changes
have taken place among its people. They
had been rather Incorporate and unpro-
gressive for some time, but temperance
has now made much progress among the
people.
The agitation for more liberal constitu-
ton always awakened a spirit of mtellec-
| tual progress among the Icelanders, and
the mother country has now granted their
request to have a separate minister, who Is
to reside in Iceland.
Heretofore matters pertaining to Iceland
have been cared for by the Danish minister
Of Justice. Economically there is also an
upward trend in Iceland. Trade with Den
mark hitherto has largely been a matter OF
barter. to the great disadvantage OF Ice
land. Now. however, it Is conforming to
modern methods. with money as the me-
dunn OF exchange. Salmon fisheries are be-
ing exploited in the country, plans are on
foot for establishing large canning factories
| along the rivers, which furnish excellent
| water power. and Englishmen and Amer
| leans are taking an interest in this project.
The trourist traffic to Iceland, especially
from England and America, Is rapidly in
| creasing. The geysers, volcanic forma-
tons, weird mountain scenery and excellent
summer climate make 1t attractive and diff
ferent from any other region in the world.

THE MINERS STRIKE
NO DEFINITE ACTION REGARD
ING A SETTLEMENT.
Independent Operators Claim They
Cannot Increase Wages Without
Freight Rates Are Reduced.

SCRANTON, Pa, November A.-No
definite action was taken today with re-
gard to the proposed private settlement OF
the differences existing between the mine
workers and the employers. All the attor-
neys for the coal companies have gone to
their respective homes for the purpose OF
consulting with the head officials OF the
concerns they represent, and no conferences
will be held until they return clothed with
power to negotiate a settlement. Clarence
s. Darrow Of Chicago, leading counsel for
the mine workers, who was in New York
yesterday. returned here today. He said he
visited New York for the purpose Of seeing
friends, and that the proposed strike set
tiement negotiations were not mentioned
while he was there. Mr.. Darrow had a con-
ference with Mr.. Mitchell today, and also
had talk with Ira H. Burns, one of the at
torneys for the Independent operators. No
action Of any kind was decided upon at
either conference.
Much interest is manifested in the posi-
ton Of the Independent companies. COM
mittee from which holds conference with
the presidents of the coal roads in New
York tomorrow. They want to know what
concession will be made to them by the
coal-carrying roads before they consent to
an increase in wages.
Regarding their mission to the metropolis.
a representative of the independent opera
tors made this statement:
beyond the profits derived from mining coal.
When the mining Of coal and the breaker
Is Stopped his revenues also cease, but the
expense in maintaining the property goes
on.
THE large companies owned by the rail-
roads depend on their freight rates to main
tain their collieries while in idleness. The
independent companies are paying the min.
ers as much now as they can afford to. and
if an increase in wages is granted by the
large companies the large companies must
give the Independents a lower freight rate
in order to meet the increase In wages.
This is the mission of the committee.
IF they refuse to make a concession In
freight rates or It's equivalent, then It Is
probable the Independent companies will
insist upon the whole matter being threshed
out before the commission. The independ-
emit companies feel that they have a good
case, and are willing to leave 1t to the
commission.
"Mr. Mitchell, In his testimony before the
commission last week, said that 5000 a year
would be fair American standard of liv-
ing wages. Some of the Independent COM
panies are paying an average of over $7O0-a
year, while the large companies are under
these figures. Therefore, if a 10 per cent
increase Is agreed upon the amount OF
money to be paid to the men by the indie
pendents would be greater than that Of the
large companies"

Stocks Were Irregular, With
Weaker Tendency.
CASE OF MANHATTAN
BELIEF THAT RECENT ADVANCE
WAS UNWARRANTED.
New Buying Today Was Partial to
Baltimore and Ohio and
Union Pacific.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star
NEW YORK, November 24-opening
prices in today's stock market were gener-
ally irregular as the result OF London SELL
ing and some pressure from the room. Com
mission houses had a fair volume of buy
Ing orders and the tone OF the market out
side OF professional circles was noticeably
improved.
The banking interests took a more hope
full view of the money market and were
still credited with making determined eff
forts to avert gold shipments. As to the
success of the efforts in the latter connec-
ton it Is too early to judge, and numerous
experienced foreign houses hold to differ
ent opinions.
The one point upon which there is an al
most unanimous verdict Is that no big ad-
vance in prices Is likely or desirable at this
time. Conditions are decidedly improved
and the worst of the evils leading UP to
the recent liquidation have been success
fully overcome. At the same time all the
buying on the declines was not voluntary
and many such purchases are now seeking
a market.
Baltimore and Ohio and Union Pacific
are in favor with new buyers, but every
advance brings out an increased supply OF
stock. This fact Is taken as an indication
that supporting orders last week resulted
In the acquisition OF a generous line of
stocks which are now being distributed.
The mystery In Manhattan begins to- force
the conclusion that the facts behind the
recent advance have not the market value
the various rumors have, and official utter
ances are withheld while a market turn is
being engineered. 1t Ii reasonable to sup
pose that some change has been recorded
In the fortunes Of Manhattan, but II Is ex-
tremely doubtful IL such changes possess
anything like the value quoted for the stock
today.
After selling down to within a fraction of
$50 this morning the price rose sharply to
1913 and then abruptly sold down per cent.
Whatever the facts are must soon come to
light now, for such erratic action is not
likely to meet with favor in certain influen-
tlal quarters.
The coal stocks were strong under q vol
ume Of business which seemed to come
from inside sources.
The demand for Reading was especially
confident and was based the idea that
greater Reading property was to be
formed once the strike question was settled.
The chances for a settlement outside OF the
commission are still regarded as good.
The industrial list was irregular in spite
Of some fairly good buying. Amalgamated
Cooper was sold rather freely even though
some open manipulation In favor Of higher
prices was recorded.
Closing prices were under the best Tor the
day and sentiment was somewhat mixed as
to the immediate direction Of the market
although no serious decline Is expected.
