Alarm on London Exchange.

London, Sept, 29.-The renewed
heavy realizations. chiefly in the best
investment securities. caused a demor-
alization on the stock market yester-
day, almost amounting to panic Con-

point beneath the lowest reached dur
ing the Franco-German war.
The heavy liquidation is said to be
due to the needs of American finan-
ciers and spectators. Great appre-
hension is felt regarding the position
of Wall street, and anxiety is enter
tained concerning the stock exchange
settlement here on Wednesday. There
are rumors OF probable failures which,
in the best informed quarters, however,
are said to be exaggerated.
The slump in the United States steel
stock caused some anxiety as to its
probable effect on Carnegie's library
endowments. 1t is said. however. that
Mr. Carnegie views the slump with ut
most complacency. An appeal to him

lowing response:

Increased Philippine Commerce.

Washington. Sept. 29.-The returns
OF Philippine commerce for May, 1903.
show the foreign trade of the islands
aggregated for the month $6,S27 .9S2. ex-
elusive of government supplies and
gold and silver. being even greater
than that reported for April of the
present year. the value OF which ex-
ceeded that for any single month since
American occupation.
Importauons amounted to $3.391,-
655. being considerably in excess OF the
monthly average. as a result Of the
heavy purchases of foodstuffs. The out
going trade included shipments of
Philippine products to the value OF
$3.4S1.327. For eleven months ended
May 81, 1908, the total trade amounted
to $50, ,576. .245. while for the correspond
ing period of 1902 the value was $780,
S24,090.
The gain indicated by the foregoing
figures Is due to the extraordinary In
crease in exports. especially OF hemp.
Copra shipments are also on the in
crease and the expectation OF this new
product now ranks second in import
ance. followed by sugar and tobacco.
Customs revenues to the value OF S.
100000 were collected during the eleven
months of 1903. an increase amounting
to over a million dollars Us compared

kept q relay station on the Rawlins-

10:3O o'clock yesterday morning. An
autopsy was held and the brain of the
murderer was carefully examined. The
physicians pronounced 1t perfectly
normal. and say that the injury to his
head, which Keffer said made him In
sane at times. had not affected the
brain. SO far us any outward evidence
could show. The report OF the physi-
clans quieted stories that keffer was
insane at the time OF his execution.
and strengthened the general belief
that he was sane when he killed War
rem.
On the sallows Keffer made speech
while Sheriff Charles Slough was ad-
justing the moose and black cap. He
said that he had no grudge against any
one In Lander. and addressing some
Of the Jurors who were present, told
them that they were taking the life Of
an innocent man and that they would
live to regret their action.
