no person interested in literature or the
history Of the Hebrew race can afford to
miss.

New York Stock Market.

New York, Oct. II. IL a. m. The
stock market has shown little recovery
since the opening. On the contrary,
prices have continued to sag under bear
pressure and scattered liquidation. The
stocks of the southern roads have de-
veloped further weakness. Southern
Railway preferred declined over two per
cent. Louisville and Nashville lost a
point on liquidation, said to be of Louis
Vile, KY, origin. Illinois Central lost
| per cent. There were losses of about
point or more in Reading, Pennsyl-
vania, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific,
500 and Wabash. st. Paul lost Z per
cent, despite some support. Republic
steel preferred lost per cent. General
electric declined 81. Amalgamated Cop
per lost u. Sloss-Sheffield preferred sold
4 points under last previous sale. The
speculative sentiment is depressed by the
same influences which unsettled the mar
ket last week. An additional discourage
ing factor is the continued weakness in
London, due to a revival of anxiety
over the apprehened clash between
Japan and Russia. Steel common and
preferred made new low rec )rds, tie
former falling to 124 against l4i Satur
day and the preferred decling to 57s
as against 59t Saturday.

The Russo.Japan Imbroglio.

Berlin, Oct. ia dispatch from
Shanghai states that news has reached
there from Chefoo that the japanese have
occupied Masan-Pho, Korea, and that an
official declaration of war between japan
and Russia, is expected shortly.
st. Petersburg, Oct. EFFORTS are
now being made to complete the crews
of the Russian feet in the Pacific ocean.
To this end, large number of officers
and engineers are leaving Kronstadt,
overland. One hundred have already
gone.
Port Arthur, Oct. ia dispatch
from Toxic says the japanese press Is
pointing out that if Japan engages in
war with Russia, it will not be on ac-
count of the latter governments occupa-
ton of Manchuria, but in order to es
tablish Japan among the continental
powers. Preparations for hostilities are
proceeding. Part of the reserves have
been called out. The Mikado has sent
Major Ito to northern China to inspect
places suitable for japanese bases, and
also to ascertain if China will cooperate
with Japan against Russia, pointing out
that Japan's object is to procure the re-
turn of Manchuria to its original sceptre,
provide for a colonization of the field
and open trading for herself.
London, Oct. 12.-The British For
eipn Office has received no confirmation
of the report current in Berlin this
morning to the effect that the japanese
troops have seized Ma-San-Pho, Korea.
No credence is given to the report.
Berlin, Oct. II. Your correspondent
learns that since the Cars stay in Ger
many a complete understanding has
been reached by which in the event of
war between Russia and Japan, Germany
will lend her moral and diplomatic sup
port to Russia, with a view Of prevent,
ing England or the United States from
going TO Japan's assistance. The bar
gain arrived at is that when Japan is
crushed, Germany will have share of
spoils. Russia will keep Mongolia,
Manchuria, and Korea Germany will
have Shan-TuDg, and possibly a slice of
contiguous territory. In brief, the
Kaiser is endeavoring to occupy the
familiar role of the bottle holder, with a
view to sharing prize money after the
fight. German statesmen believe that
Russo-Japanese war would make the
partition of China inevitable.

AMONG THE features of the Dresser
revelations concerning the shipbuilding
trust is the written contract STIMULATING
that the Gates firm of brokers should
unload upon the market the Schwab
and Morgan interests before the shares
of the company should be offered for
sale. This, the witness testifes, is
what Mr.. Schwab insisted upon as an
essential condition of the deal. 1t is
evident from this that Mr.. Schwab him
self had doubts of the financial strength
of a trust into which he put his own
Bethlehem property for more than three
times its actual cost and that he wanted
to make himself secure no matter what
happened to the other fellows. 1t was
said last spring that Mr.. Sehwab was
suffering from nervous prostration and
that his mind was giving away, but his
ability to look after number one reiutes
