New York Stock Market.

New York, Oct.Il9.-11 a. m. The
stock market today enjoyed sharp re-
covery in the early dealings due to gen.
eral covering of shorts. The somewhat
hysterical tone recently marking the
speculation received reinsurance, first
from the better conditions in London
market and, secondly, from evidence Of
support from powerful local interests.
The extreme advances in herailroad list
averaged about a point, with larger gains
in Union Pacific, Atchison, Reading,
and Canadian Pacific. In the industrials
there were recoveries of 1 per cent in
Amalgamated Copper and Republic Iron
and Steel preferred, 2per cent in Car g.
Foundry, preferred, and Il in the com.

Tennessee Coal and Iron and New York
Airbrake, T. S. Steel stocks were better
supported the preferred advancing II
per cent Pressed Steel Car issues were
slightly lower, and American Locomo-
tive preferred was inclined to heaviness.
Before the first hour was over the market
became dull and higher, and few
desultory concessions took place.

CHARGED WITH PARRICIDE. Earl
Ellsworth, aged "a years, was arrested in
Chicago yesterday as the result of an al
legged confession which detectives obtain
ed By pretending to be his friends.
Eighteen months ago, at Woodstock,
ILL.,, Benjamin Ellsworth, Earl's father,
finding his wife in company with Amos
Anderson, shot and killed both of them,
and then, according to Earl Ellsworth, who
gave the police the story, the old man
committed suicide. Earl admitted hay-
ing advised his father to kill the couple,
and at the time was arrested as an aces
sorry, but was allowed to go, police senti-
ment generally being in his favor. An
Insurance company, however, being liza
BILE for Sc, 900 insurance which the elder
Ellsworth carried, decided to investigate
further. The talk which young Els
worth had with the detectives, and
which was overheard by witnesses secret
ed in an adjoining room, is said to have
cleared Ellsworth's mother of the charge
of faithlessness, and to have left open to
doubt the statement that the senior Els
worth killed himself 1t is said there
was a conspiracy to obtain the insurance
money, Earl Ellsworth and two promi-
nent citizens of Woodstock being in
volved, and that young Ellsworth's al
legged conversation with his supposed
friends, who claimed to be helping him
to avoid impeding arrest, leaves open to
grave question the statement that the
killing of Anderson and Mrs. Ellsworth
was by the elder Ellsworth.

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 10. 1908.

THE MuTrERINGs of the storm cloud
which has lowered over the Far East
during the past few days are not so much
in evidence at present, although the
heavens are by no means clear in that
quarter of the sky. Relations between
Russia and Japan have not been cordial
for long time, and 50 long as the
former holds Manchuria and persists IN
ATTEMPTS to extend her influence over
Korea, Japan's wounds will continue in
a tester. This power has 10 these many
wears been ambitious to become the head
of the Monaghan race, and from her
recent advances in civilization and her
prowess with the sword, it is but natural
she should. The Mikado and his sub
iects may be victims of cephalic expansion
but that Japan is animated by an honest
passion and is in a position she has hon
estly acquired none can question. How
ever. Russia is averse to Japan placing
herself in a position to be considered
when other nations have diplomatic re-
lations with the yellow race, and at
tempts to brush the sprightly little ma
ton aside have caused all the friction.
As is well-kncwn, there is an alliance
between Japan and England and the
former has the moral support of the
United States; otherwise Russia would
long ago have shown the world the diff
ference between the Muscoyite and the
bristling branch of the Monaghan family.
The conflict between the two has again
been deferred, but how long the tranquil
period will continue remains to be seen.
