No Rally in Market.

New York, Oct. 2G.-An unexpectedly
good bank statement Saturday failed to
produce any rally to speak of. There
is disappointment with the course of
things. Eastern war rumors and the
copper decision were both effective in
checking the markets tendency to ad-
vance. Stocks will probably prove pur:
chase, but if a bull market is on, there
should be some activity with advancing
prices today and Tuesday. In other
words the outlook now is for higher
prices this week. The danger points are

vile 0S,, If two or three stocks break
these figures, the indications are the
market will go lower. This is based
on last Mondays low. But if st. Paul
touches l4O, Southern Pacific 43, Atchi,
son Gs, Missouri Pacific about 81, the
indications are that bull market is
On. 1t might be noted that investment
in bonds continue excellent, that most
stocks are loaHing at about ! per cent,
that Standard Oil advanced % points in
two days, and that time loans are grad
Ially working easier.

The Proposed Withdrawal.

The State Department had no fresh news
from Minister Leishman today. The Amer
lean minister has mad several conferences
with Tewfk Pasha, the Turkish foreign
minister, concerning the settlement of the
Magelssen affair and the American claims
against the sultans government While def
mite conclusions have not been reached no
the ground that all is now quiet at Beirut
1t is not unlikely that the Porte is pressing
for the withdrawal of the American ships
but no direct request of that nature has
been preferred to the authorities here 1t
is pointed out here that there may be a con-
fusion of cause and effect in the Turkish
mind. and that the real reason for the
tranquil state of affairs "a Beirut may be
the presence of the American Suua dron.
In anticipation of a prompt and favorable
outcome of pending negotiations, however,
the administration is seriously considering
the early withdrawal of the European
squadron from Turkish waters. with view
to making Il friendly demonstration in
honor of King Menelik. OF Abyssinia AS

REFUSED TO BUY SILVER.
Offers Are Higher Than Director Rob
erts Will Accent.

For a number of months the director of
the mint has been accustomed to receive
offers of silver for purchase for Philippine
coinage Monday and Thursday afternoons
of each week. On those days of this week
he received offers, as usual but the prices
were so high that he declined to buy, and
will do nothing for while, merely await
ing developments in the silver market. The
offers yesterday ranged from 6O2o to Co.'s
cents an ounce. the highest price yet touch
ed In the recent rise Of silver.
A rise of a little more than 3 cents an
ounce over the present figures will make
the silver bullion in the Philippine peso
worth much for bullion as the face
value, and promises trouble for the Philip
pine financial system in that event. But
the Treasury Department does not expect
rise of that much for a long time. and IS
under the impression that the price of sill
yer may not go any higher. China has
recently been buying a good deal of silver,
and the French government has been a
purchaser, intending to use the silver in
IEdo-China. British India is also expected
to begin purchases, and all these things
have increased the price of silver.

Tennessee Sheriff Wounds One
Man and Captures Three.
SIMPLE ASSAULT CASE
SHOT TO DEATH IN CORRIDOR OF
THE JAIL.
Iron Door Broken and Victim Torn
From His Cell-Citizens to Rescue
of the Officials.

LYNCHBURG, Tenn, September 25.-
Sheriff George r. Davidson in attempting
to save the life of negro early this morn
ing fired into a mob which was assailin2
the Jail, wounding man whose name is
unknown.
The sheriff summoned assistance, but he
entered, and the much wanted negro, Allen
Small, shot to death in the corridor. The
mob was composed of about twenty five
people. Sheriff Davidson was alone at the
time. He refused to give UP the keys and
opened fire from window. He wounded
one of the mob, but his identity is not
known. The sheriff then called for the
police.
Two officers and several citizens rushed to
the Jail, but despite their presence the mob
battered down the wooden door at the foot
of the stairs leading to the corridor.
The sheriff and posse made stout re-
sIstance. but were unable to prevent the
mob from breaking in the iron door at the
head of the stairs and entering the cell
occupied by the negro, about whose neck
they placed rope.
AS soon as the men emerged from the cell
it became apparent that the negro could
not be taken from the Jail and hung, for
fear of being FREQ on, and he was shot to
death The mob then made an effort to
escape, but the sheriff and his guard cap
tured three of them, and they are in Jail.
One of them. it is said has made a confess
sion, duplicating thirteen men in the affair.
Small was under arrest on the charge of
assaulting Mrs. Eliza Eggleston, and at his
preliminary hearing the warrant was
amended as to charge a simple case of
assault. The negro had waived examination
and was awaiting the action Of the grand
iuTy.

Beavers Examination Postponed.
NEW YORK, September 25.-The exami-
nation of George w. Beavers on the Brook
lyn indictment in the postal investga ton
was again adjourned today by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock until Octo-
ber 3, when the contempt proceedings
against Post Office Inspector Little for re-
fusing to obey a subpoena will have been
argued. 1t is claimed by the defense that
subpoena was served upon Inspector Lit
tie to attend the second Beavers hearing
witness in their behalf but that the
inspector ignored the process and since
that date has kept out of the way of tho
process servers of the defendant.
United States District Attorney Burnett
said he thought the defense should be COM
PEELED to state what the materiality of the
evidence expected to be established by In
spector Little was, but Commissioner
Hitchcock decided that as he had already
been served with a subpoena by the de-
fenSe, no such statement needed at
that iuncture. An adjournment was ac-
cordingly taken until October 5.
Arraigned on Washington Indictment.
Mr. Beavers was also formally arraigned
today the first Washington Indictment,
which charges him with conspiracy with
the Columbia Supply Company, which fur
n;shed the large iron boxes used for receiv-
ing packages and papers. The defense adj
notice to the prosecution that they intended
to object to the sufficiency of the indict-
ment, and that they would on or before
Saturday next file briefs with the commS-
Sioner pointing out their objections and the
legal reasons therefore.
