BIG APE DIES IN MID-OCEAN
LARGEST EYER. CAPTURED EX- FIRES ON GRAF WALDERSEE.
Occupied Cabin Stateroom the Same as Any PassengeS-Had Stewards to Carry It Water and FOOd-CarefulIy Fed by PhysIcian-Given Choicest of Fruits but Succumbs to Intestinal Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis.


 New York, September 21.-The larg- lest gorilla ever captured, con- signed to the New York Geological so- ciety, died of the most deadly of ape es-tuberculosis-in nidocean on the steamer Graf Waldersee last Mon day. The ship arrived here to-day with the stuffed remains of the most delicate of equatorial wild animals. The gorilla was over five feet tall, and Dr. Cecil French, the Washington naturalist, who was bringing the animal here, said that it's death was fastened by seasickness.
 The animal cost $1 ,0O0 and was insur- ed for the trip for $500. It was cap- tured in the French Congo, East Africa, by 0 French agent named Crowther, who christened the ape after himself. The gorilla was put aboard the Graf WaIdersee at Dover and until it died occupied a cabin stateroom, like any other passenger. The ape had stewards to carry 1t water and food, which were, however, given to 1t by pr. French. Crowther had spent two weeks at the London Geological Gardens before be- ing put aboard the Waldersea. The first day it arrived in London it refused to eat; the second day English hothousa grapes at $5 per poufld and the finest
 kind of oranges were purchased, but the ape ate only a few of the grapes.
 The day before going on shipboard 1t ate half a pineapple. The last thing Dr. French did before embarking was to thoroughly examine the wild man, ,''
 and he said he found it in perfect con dition.
 The first day at sea the animal ate
 pineapple, but declined all other food ! but refused pineapple. On the third day 1t ate half a ineapple. It never ate after that.
 Last Sunday the gorilla showed a
 great thirst. It drank more than a gallon of water. Dr. Frecnh gave it two large oranges, which it took, tore off the skins, tasted and threw away The thirst continued all Sunday night and Dr. French, who occupied a state
 room near by, arosetwo or three times to see how the ape was doing. His last | visit was at o'clock Monday morning.
 He found 1t seemingly all right, wrap
 ped in a blanket, and lying apparently | asleep on the straw which covered the 1 floor of the stateroom. At 7:30 Mon- day morning, when Dr. French went
 through the stateroom, he found the gorilla lying on one side, with it's two
 great paws grasping the iron bars. Il l was dead.
 With the second officer Dr. French l made post mortem examination Mon- l day morning. He found that the anil 1 nal died of intestinal tuberculosis.

She called Thalkers att tention to it and he was about to in- vestigate when flames shot up through the flooring of the automobile. Mrs. Wilcox and Thalker pumped just in time to escape being burned, although the clothes of both were scorched. AL though water was poured on the ma- chine and other means were taken to extinguish the flames all efforts were futile, and the handsome car was burn ed to ashes. It was large touring car of this years make.

HIGHEST Level.
Wall Street Average of Prices
Breaks All Records.
Volume Of Daily Business the
Largest Of the Year.
LIMIT is REACHED
Tt is Believed by Close Observers
of Financial Events.
Upward Movement Has Been
Going on Two Years.

New York, Nov. 25.-The week has
witnessed further enlargement of
the speculative movement on the
stock exchange. the volume of daily
business rising to the largest of the
year SO far. A general advance in
prices has not occurred, but measured
by the general average quotations have
ascended rapidly and stand now not
only at the highest level of the sea-
son, but the highest ever known in
Wall street history. In view of this
fact it would seem that the upv ard
movement which has lasted with
slight interruption for two years, has
in many directions reached its proper
limit. Henceforth the process of in
Vestment and speculation may be ex-
peesed to be more discriminating, Sc
lecting for purchase more particularly
those stocks that have not had their
proportionate advance and bringing
them gradually into line with the rest
of the share list, whose values have
been more fully exploited.
The technical side of the market has
been uppermost In the financial COM
ment on the work That is to say with
the ma p0rity of observers it is as much
outside conditions and their relations
to security prices as it is the question
of immediate speculative conditions
that weighs the heavier. Violent adj

I
outer covering of an important distrib-
uting movement. There are many who
believe that an executive distribution of
stocks has been in progress this week
and that all other incidents Of the mar
ket have been subordinate to this as the
main end in view. The truth or fallacy
/ of this analysis will soon be established.
Tt is agreed on all sides however that
the market position has been weakened
by the slap dash plunging operations
that have been in progress recently,
and, that while its underpinnings are
still very strong there is a larger ele-
ment Of pure speculation than existed
q month ago. The passing of the au-
turnn money strain, while on the sur
face it seems a very favorable thing,
has also its unfavorable side. For
while the stringency lasted, there was
the assurance that highly speculative
buying was at a minimum; that only
the financially well equipped could af-
ford to hold and buy. With the easing
of money rates the speculative coterie
have once more come prominently to
the fore and it is q plain enough infer
ence that in proportion as the less sub
stantiaI stock holdings have increased
holdings of the weightier sort have di-
miniShed.

President Roosevelt Has Under
taken a Large Contract.
1t Is to Restore Harmony in the
Republican Ranks.
EMPIRE STATE ROW.
Is Giving the Chief Executive
Serious Concern.
Calling Many Party Workers to
the Council Chamber.
empire STATE ROW.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Out of almost
riotously discordant political conditions
in New York state President Roosevelt
has Iabored all week to bring the
means of peace. He has called reform
ers and shrewed politicians to the coun-
Gil chamber and during the next week
every Republican member of congress
bearing credentials from the Empire
state will be consulted on the troubles
that threaten disruption to the party.
The president realizes the overshad-
owing Importance of New York in ma
tional elections and he knows that his
tory has shown that breaches in the
party ranks in his native state are
longer in closing than similar breaches
in any other state in the union. His de-
sire is to bring about present peace
and II leave a legacy of harmony to
the next Republican who aspires to the
presidency.
Strangely enough. Mr.. Odel1s menac-
ing statement about the likelihood OF
another "stalwart' schism like that
which began in Garfield's time, if Mr..
Roosevelt attempts to interfere has not
disturbed the president in the least. He
holds to the belief that the threat will
be reactionary and that not even in
their bitterness will the followers OF
Odell let him lead them away from the
councils of a president who declares
that he did not interfere prior to the
election and has no thought of inter-
fering now in a factional spirit
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to feel perhaps
uncOnsciously, that his personality will
be a power in pacifying the warriors OF
the PIatt-OdelI camps. No intimation
of an intention to withhold patronage
from one man or the other has been
heard by the score of New Workers OF
all shades of party feeling who have
come to the White House this week in
response to the presidential summons.
Let them get together for the good
of the party" has been the Roosevelt
saying and he has shown a sort of in
spired confidence that his luck is to
hold in this matter as it has held in
other matters.
The president is a canny dipIomatist
in this New York peace-patching af-
fair He will not interfere" yet every
chief friend that he has IN all the Re
publican factions is to work along the
harmony lines laid down under White
House direction and if the fruits OF
peace are not claimed in Washington
there will be little difficulty in locating
the right owner.

SPECIAL JURY.
One May Be Called in the Beef
Trust Cases.
Controversy Has Been Reduced
to Question of Fact.
GARFIELD WILL SWEAR
That He Did Not Promise I'm
munity to Packers.
Moody May Be Called Upon to
Give Testimony.
GARFIELD WILLSWEAR

Chicago, Nov. 25.-A special federal
jury may have to be impanelled to hear
testimony on the special pleas in bar,
filed some time ago in the beef hear
ing. DeniaIs of the points raised by
the packers are made by United States
District Attorney Morrison in replica
tions filed in the United States district
court this afternoon. The allegations
of the packers that they were compelled
to appear and testify. supplemented la
ter by a more definite plea that they
testified and were promised immunity
from future prosecution, are declared
to be not founded on fact.
The charge that documentary evil
dence was seized ssby force and arms
by Thomas I. Porter and at the instance
of the district attorney is also denied.
The other allegation in the plea that
the existing federal injunction in the
fresh meat cases against the defend
ants is a bar to criminal proceedings is
demurred to, technically admitted, but
declared to be no bar to criminal pro
ceedings. This question must be ar
gued on points of law. The replicatiOns
raise issues of fact that probably will
be tried before jury.
It is because the replies of the gov
ernment so absolutely deny the charges
of the defendants and the questions
raised are so vital that it may be nee
essary before the questions are finally
settled for Attorney General Moody,
District Attorney Morrison, Commits
sioner of Corpora tions Garfield and his
several assistants who worked on the
beef industry report, to testify. before a
special jury. J. Ogden Armour and all
the other packers included in the in
dictnnent win in that event be called to
support the allegations.
Commissioner Garfield will testify. it
is said, that he did not promise the
packers immunity and Attorney General
Moody will deny that he used the Gar
field report in directing the attack
against the packers. Attorney Morri-
son VIII substantiate the attorney gen
eral and testify that all documentary
evidence was seized by due course OF
law
