Cochran G Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware & Leland.
New York, March 19.-Market closed
firm at about the best of the day. There
seemed to be a movement to cover shorts
said to be in some way associated with
the cotton failure. and the traders who
bid up said they found very little stocks
offering. Bank statement was not a mar
ket factor of any Importance. The room
thought 1t possible that Mendham Bros
might be covering shorts in Reading but
attached Importance to buying by houses
sometimes associated with the national
bank operations. The Gates buying of
Pennsylvania was said by the following
of that house to represent operations on
long side of the market. but the room
was inclined to think that some covering
of shorts was involved

A Sad Tragedy.

On last Friday morning as a freight
pulled out Of the Santa yards here for
Girard three men attempted to board
it. One succeeded but the second one
was thrown down On the tr ack and
the merciless wheels passed over his
legs and one arm crushing bone and
flesh into pulp. The puor fellow was
gathered up tenderiy and carried
on a stretcher to the city hall where
medical aid was furnished but to nc
purpose. Before night he was dead,
a stranger among strangers he
breathed his last breath,
Inquiry developed that the man
was John Mcclure of E. K. Junction,
KY. A coal mIaer by trade he had
gone to Colorado to work but failing
to get work without taking strikers
place he was trying to get back
rome. His parents we're notified and
also a brother who lives in Moberly,
Mo.
The brother came 10 Saturday but
was unable to pay the expenses of
shipping the remains to the far away
nome and decided to bury his brother
here. But Sunday the Carpenters
union and Oddfellows took the matter
up and raised enough money to nay
all expenses and send the body and
the brother back to the old Kentucky
home.
Fraternal societies may not be
counted worth much but in this case
truly they did a noble act.

proverbs

"Whea the butter won't
come put a penny In the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sign.
JIt is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just a;
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale anc
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

GERMAN PROTEST.
objects to Seizure Of Mails by the
Russians.

BERLIN-The German government
has taken a prompt and firm stand in
regard to the seizure of the mails of
the North German Lloyd steamer
Prinz Heinrich, which arrived at Alden
July 1G from Hamburg and Southamp-
ton for Yokohama, by the Russian vol
unteer fleet steamer Smolensk, July
Is, having entered a protest against
the carrying off of the mails, and ask
ing for a disavowal of the Smolensk's
action and the return of the captured
mail sacks. The German government,
the foreign office says, recognizes the
right to search mails when on board
the vessel itself, but claims the Smo-
lensk had no right to take off mails
in bulk from the vessel. The further
argument is advanced that the right
of search can only be exercised by
warship, whereas the Smolensk ira
versed the Dardanelles only recently
flying the Russian commercial flag,
not assuming the character of war
ship. The German government has
not taken positive stand on this last
verdict, but leaves the question for
future discussion and settlement No
answer has yet been received from
Russia.
The recent publication by the Russ
of St Petersburg of statement that
Great Britain is about to transfer Wei
Hal Wei to Germany in exchange for
free hand in the Yang Use valley is
secuted at the foreign Office, where it
is classed as revival of an old story
and as having no foundation.
Diplomatic circles believe Russia
will speedily disavow the seizure,
since refusal to do so will certainly
raise the status Of the Smolensk. Dis
cussions OF the incident among the
foreign diplomats show there is a be-
lief that the raising of the question
will be extremely awkward for Rus
STA, since the Smolensk passed the
DardanelleS as a merchantmen and
assumed the role of warship in the
Red sea. In determining it's status
only two alternatives are permissible
| it Is either a warrior or a pirate
and Russia having every reason to
| prevent Germany from pressing for q
decision on this point, will, it is be-
lieved, gracefully disavow the rash act
of the Smolensk.
The newspapers strike sharper
note in discussing the seizure of mails
from the Prinz Heinrich, and raise a
unanimous demand for a speedy apol
ogy.

Ships Sighted in Jap Waters and Bonn

anese Torpedo Boats Retire Under
Heavy Fire From Forts.

TOKIO.-A fisherman reports that
the Vladivostok squadron was off My
ako yesterday, going in southeastern
ly direction at speed of 10 knots.
If this course and speed is maintained
the squadron will be off Yokohoma
late today The eastern coast of
Japan is shrouded in fog. Shipping
has been suspended, awaiting the To-
cation of the Russian fleet.
CHEZ FOO.-Copies of the Novo
Krai, newspaper published at Port
Arthur, including the issue of July II,
reached here this afternoon. Accord
ing to this paper the Japanese fleet,
composed of six cruisers, five gun
boats and twenty torpedo boats, was
seen early in the morning of July 10
to the southeast.
At 8 o'clock in the morning part of
the Russian fleet moved to the en-
trance of the inner harbor. The Jap
anese torpedo boats then approached
and at 1913 they were fired upon by
the gunboat Kiliak and the cruiser
Diana. The Japanese vessels retired.
At o'clock in the afternoon several
torpedo boats again approached Port
Arthur. The cruiser Novik, with an
escort of torpedo boats, advanced
and the enemy retired the second
time.
During the night of the 10th six
teen Japanese torpedo boats formed
for attack. They were, however, dis
covered by the searchlights and re-
tired under a heavy fire from the
forts. At a later hour that same
night single torpedo boat made for
