COPPER STOCK sHRINKAGE.
A Fall of More than $132,s52, 500 from the
Highest Point of 1908.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUXE.l

Boston, July 26-The Boston copper stocks to
date show total shrinkage Of $132,S52, 500 from
the highest point of 1903. following the slightest
fluctuations of the New-York market. yet at the
lowest level without any apparent reason, in the
face of the metal prices.
The greatest shrinkage is in Amalgamated,
with SCI, ,976,250; Calumet and Hecla is next.
with $15, 100000 and Copper Range stands third.
with So $4,000 The smallest is Allouez, with
100000, but as its capital is only 100000 it
stands in the same proportion as the others.
One of the remarkable features is that few Of
the Boston copper stocks have come out in the
latest terrific drives at the market. This leads
to the conclusion that copper stocks here are
either owned outright amply protected.

BLOOD CLOT CAUSED DEATH.
Surprising Physical Condition, However
Discovered in Midshipman Clark.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO The TRIBUNE. ]


Annapolis. Md, July ga post-mortem ex
animation was held to-day on Midshipman
Lawrence F. Clark. of New-York. who died
yesterday. The examination was conducted by
DR.. Van Wart, pathologist of Johns Hopkins
Hospital, and Surgeon Howard E. Ames, of the
Naval Academy. The immediate cause Of death
was shown to be a large clot which had formed
from a hemorrhage of the BRAIN which took
place yesterday morning. A startling condition
was, however, disclosed by the examination.
It developed that not only the brain but the
heart, kidneys and liver were all seriously af-
fected, and there also injury to the
hip. The latter, though, was not serious
There is some wonder as TO how the young
man could have passed his physical examina-
ton for entrance to the Academy only two days
previous to being taken ill., but it is stated that
the diseases were all such could only be dis
covered by post-mortem examination. Clark
was sixteen years old His burial will take

HOT WEATHER TELLING ON CORN.
The Crop Making Little Headway in
Kansas
my TELEGRAPH TO Tue TRIBUNE. ]

Abilene Kan, July "a full week of 100 degree
weather has been a severe strain on the corn of
Central Kansas. The large acreage planted is
making little headway now, and if the farmers do
not get rain inside of the next few days. it will
not mature. The crop in Southern Kansas in the
lower part of the corn belt is in even worse con-
dition Reports from Southern Kansas say that
corn Is showing signs of curling from the heat
which is reported as high as l05 degrees to-day
in several Of the southern counties. In the north
erh counties the condition Is not quite so severe
There is wide difference in the various fields
Some corn is six feet high. while other stalks are
scarcely two feet. This is due 10 the wet spring
the floods and the necessity OF planting late crops
Guthrie. Okla. July 26-The hot dry winds Of
the last few days have dried vegetation in Okla

Boston, July 26.-Thomas w Lawson, who

usually long time for him, unburdened himself
to-day but, like most financial sages, gives no
facts, no deductions from conditions and no ex-
PLANTATION OF how why it all happened. He
contents himself with saying:
Investors and spectators should right now
bear in mind that tomorrow all that has been
attempted before will be attempted again, and
that to-morrow's attempt must inevitably-be-
