point despite rumors Of the issue of an order for a strike and the unfavorabIe showing in January net earnings. Some of the iron and copper stocks made some show of resistance to the prevail ing depression owing to favorable trade reports, but the whole market gave way at the last and sold down rapidly until the weak closing.
 The uneasiness over the rapid deple- ton of New York banking reserves was slightly relieved by to-day's news of the receipt of SS0O0O in gold from San Fran cisco. But the market had to face as an offset the news of the shipment of s750OOO in gold to Buenos Ayres. In the internal tional exchange markets there was a relaxation of pressure all around. The private discount rate both a London and Paris went quickly lower and gave ground for the suppo- sition that the reduction in the Bank of England rate is deferred for only week. But it is feared that further shipments will be made to Argentine from here and that Chicago will make further demand for currency. Opera tors in the market are also inclined to be discouraged about the prospeht of action at this session on the Aldrich financial bill. Time money, whcih is the true in- dex of the present money situation, hardened further to-day and practically no business was done at less than , per cent. for periods longer than three months One of the features of the days market was the wide concessions necessary to find a market for small offerings of some of the expensive high grade stocks. Chicago and Northern was notable example. the price declin- ing eight points on quite feverish fuc- tuations. The subscription rights to the new stock sold at 1918, compared with 15N on the first day they were dealt in last week.

YEsTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.
Closes With Active sclling Movement-

 Prices or.
 New York, Feb. 2G-After day of indifference and neglect to-day's stock market closed with an active selling movement and with the majority of last night A cause for this sudden weakness was the adjournment of the St. Paul directors without taking action on the issue of new stock, but it is more plausibly explained by spccula- tive weariness over the persistent hang ing back of prices. This sense of dis appointment was in evidence at the opening, when it was seen that the au- thorized reports of the practical consol- idation of Rock Island and St. Louis and San Francisco were without stilnu- lation effect on speculation. St. Louis and San Francisco in fact relapsed sharply to 21s below last night on com- paratively light offerings, and Rock Isl- and. after mere fractional advance became heavy and ruled below last night for the rest of the day. This seem cd to be accepted as a conclusive dem onstration that nothing was to be hoped for in the way of active speculation at present, The relief from the pressure of selling in Metropolitan Street rail- way alleviated for tirne the depress- irg effect on this conviction. There was demonstration also in Wabash pf., which carried that stock up to a

Washington, Nov. 25.-It can be an
nounced that Eugene f. Ware, the
commissioner of pensions, will retire
from that Office by about the middle
of November Of next year and will re-
turn Immediately to the practice of
law in Kansas. His contemplated &C
tion is generally understood among
Kansas politicians and mas been The
subject Of several interviews with the
president, which have been kept Sc
cret. The decision to resign and re-
turn to private life is the result Of his
lCngfelt dissatisfaction with the ma
ture Of the duties of his Office, a feeling
that has grown steadily since the early
days Of his administration of that bu-
reau.
Despite the secrecy with which the
proposed change in the head Of the
pension bureau has been guarded,
number of candidates already have de-
veloped. Ex-Representative Richard
Whiting Blue, who was the representa-
tive-at-large from Kansas during sew
eral sessions Of congress, and eX-Rep-
resentative Samuel W. Peters, Of Kan
sas, have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the successorship to Mr..

not yet reached a decision as to whom
he will select as Mr.. Wares successor,
though it is presumed that war service
will be recognized in his choice.
Mr.. Wares plans have become known.

dent to Harry Elkes.
Boston. Mass, June l. - Harry D..
Elkes, of Glen Falls. N. Y. was killed
and William StinsOn, of Cambridge,
and F. A. Gately, Of Roxbury, Mass,
were injured in a mix-up during a
20-mile motor-paced race at Charles
River Park. It was the opening day
of the new track. and 10000 people
turned out in anticipation of a record
breaking race between Elkes and Stin-
son, Walthour and Moran.
The race was exciting from the
start, and Elkes was leading Walthour
by three laps, when in the sixteenth
mile his chain snapped and he coasted
down the back stretch. Suddenly the
broken chain caught in his rear wheel
and he was thrown over his handle
bars, and for a second lay Outstretched
on the track.
Realizing his danger, the crowds
shouted to Stinson's pacemaker, Gate
ly. who was coming down the stretch
at 1.13 clip, but the warning was too
late. The flying motor cycle struck
Elkes' body, throwing Gately, and
Stinson rode into the heap and was
thrown fully 20 feet, striking upon his
shoulders on the hard track, while the
motor cycle ploughed against his chest
as it turned over.
Blood por~ed from the wounds OF all
three riders. and TIE sight was terrible
TO col, at. Mar women in the grand
stand fainted. while hundreds of mon
rushed about the course as though
mad.
Elkes was found limp and almost
lifeless, with his head crushed in and
his brains protruding from a gaping
wound His clothes were torn to rib
bons. He died on his way to hospital.
Stlnson had three ugly bruises on his
head and scores more on his chest,
arms and leg. Besides. he had four
inch cash over his left eye.

and many others were carried OF dead
or wounded as a result OF five daS5'
fighting in Jolo between the American
troops under General Leonard Wood
and the insurgents. Major II. L.
Scott, of the Fourteenth Cavalry, and
five American privates were wounded.
General Wood landed near siet Lake

We're soon located and fighting began
Immediately and continued until No

Members of Seamen's Union May Be
Charged With Piracy.
New York, Nov 24.-Captain Joseph
Smith. of the schooner w. E. & A. L..
Tuck. lying loaded with coal at Eliza
bethport. N. j., bound for Boston, COM
planned to Shipping Commissioner H.
A. Hanbury that four seamen whom he
had shipped through the commissioner
had been taken away from his vessel
by force by members of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's Union.
According to the captains story, he
had gone ashore for his bills of lad
ind and on returning found a steam
launch, containing u men, alongside.
He was told that as he employed nom
union sailors they had come to take
off the four men he had shipped.
Captain Smith expostulated, but the
men in the launch swarmed aboard the
schooner. The captain rushed for his
cabin to get his revolver, but was held
by one of the boarding party, and the
others of the crew were overawed by
the superior force OF the boarders. In
spite of the captains continued resist
ance and threats of reprisal, the four
sailors and their captors went back in
to the launch and ashore.
Captain Smith declares that the act
OF the assaulting party was piracy, and
he will seek warrants for the arrest
Of the IL men.

ing $1,O00.O0O, the disposition Of which
he did not know. He did not know
whether Mr.. Schwab obtained it.
It was also brought out that at the
time the Sheldon reorganization plan

offered to purchase 100000 bonds, with
The accompanying bonus Of $4,000

The scene when the sultan of Mo-
rocco Makes Journey.
In the morning at 4 O'Clock the bugle
sounded to break camp. The foot sol
diers arose, pulled up their tent pegs
and were away in tho darkness. Gradu-
ally the remaining tents came down
and the throng OF Arabs were on the
move. The suitan's tent remained. A
little to one side his ministers and
kaids patiently waited, the latter form
ing large. hollow square, at one end
Of which stood the ministers. while In
front of them a spacious blue and
gold chair awaited its sacred occupant.
Presently the wall opened and he APP
peared, his masklille visage turning
neither right nor left. With garments
swaylng rhythmically he walked to
the chair and seated himself A slave
at his side famed him with a white
sillen cloth to defend his sacred mas
ter from imaginary insects. he whis-
pered to the slave, who called to one
of the ministers. Hurriedly he ap-
peared, lowering his hood; then, after
removing his slippers just back of his
majesty. presented himself and, after
a short conversation, was dismissed.
Presently five gorgeously saddied
horses were brought before their royal
master. who, with q motion Of his
hand. cEcsc one. the others being taken
away. while he rose With great so
lennity and. mounting. rode to all sides
of the square. 20 be thrice saluted by

way. 1t was nothing bat an cntanSle-
mcnt of artillery, infantry, flags, horse
men and court officers in a mad riot,
but, as in a thrasEing machine tearing
its insidas furiously, the wheat, straw
and chaff found their channels at once
and left the ignorant beholder spell
bound. Behold. They were moving
with military precision, a brother Of
the sultan at the head. followed by an
extremely wide row of mounted sol
dicrs carrying silken standards Of all
colOrs.
Then came the artillery, rafting and
humping, and coming to grief often
where the roads were bad. Next fol-
lowed mounted soldiers and a score Of
government officers. a sort of police.
After a short space, riding alone. came
the kaid of the mishwa master Of
ceremonies), very straight and very
black, picturesquely hugging his gun
close to him.
After hiin followed four led horses
abreast. all richly sadGied, for the sui
tau's use should he tire of his mount.
Then, with some distance intervening,
came the sultan. alone save for six
black slaves who kept up a continual
waiting Of white cloths in the direc-
tiCn Of his face.

then appeared, carried between two
mules just in front of another row Of
