CERTAIN STOCKS.

Philadelphia, June 21.-The Phila-
delphia Stock Exchange has sent a
notice to its members warning them
against negotiating stock certificates
bearing the name of Benjamin H.
Gaskill or Benjamin H. Gaskill & Co.

was made by E. C. Miller & Co., bank
ers and brokers.
Benjamin H. Gaskill, senior men,
Der of the first named firm, died three
weeks ago. One of his customers
transferred his account to Miller C
Co. and in the account was a certifi-
cate of 100 shares of Philadelphia
Traction company stock worth about
$4,000. 1t subsequently developed
that the certificate had been raised
from one share. The discovery ere.
ated sensation in financial circles,

transactions of the same sort have
been made. One bank is said to have
loaned S225,00O on raised certificates.
The administrators of the Gaskill es.
tate are making an investigation and a
statement is promised.

Des MONIES, June 21.-John Nelson,
an aged recluse of Munterville,
small town near Ottumwa, was found
dead Monday and since then about 200
neighbors have been busily digging
up his two-acre farm In search of q
fortune that he is said to have buried.
Nelson was prominent ieweler at
Rockford, ILL.,, for years. He became
slightly demented and sold his store
and q large amount of property and
came to Munterville, where he has
since lived. No one knows what he
did with his money, but occasionally
he had been heard to talk of gold and
Jewels of much value. When he paid
his taxes it was always with musty
gold pieces. He left no heirs and the
neighbors believe that whoever finds
the money and jewels is entitled to
them. 4 - <. = tJ.. r..

day with the bringing into action of a
new strike committee appointed by the

struggle without further consultation
with the strikers.
A majority of the members of the
International executive board are
known to be opposed to continuance
of the strike and have used their in.
fluence during the last week toward
bringing 1t to an end. It was on this
account that the executive committee
was asked to act with the councils

to a close. That the new committee
will agree to the peace terms offered

strike will be taken.

tries can mutually agree and the am

Baron Essex took the chair in the

lowed, during which he said that the
hope of Sweden in regard to the union

In such manner that 1t would be
very difficult to make any attempts to

People of England Hope Another Bat.

London, June 21.-While undoubt-
eddy the people of England would like
to see a general battle in Manchuria
before an armistice is declared, since
it is felt certain that Field Marshal
Oyama would score another victory,
the Associated Press is assured that
the British government has not given
Japan any advice as to what course
to pursue, as alleged by the Novoe
Vre1nya of st. Petersburg. In fact,
the government has done nothing be-
yond supporting President Roosevelt's
endeavor to secure the earliest meet
ing Of the peace plenipotentiaries and
the submission by Japan of terms
likely to be acceptable to Russia. With
overwhelming forces at his command
1t is felt in military circles that Oyama
is in position to deal a most crush
ing defeat to General Linevitch.
The recent movements of British
cruisers in the Far East are taken to
mean that the admiralty has again un-
dertaken to notify the Russian cruis-
ers of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's in
structions that there is to be no fur
Their sinking of neutral ships. At any
rate ship owners are much relieved.
Premier Balfour, replying to
question in the house of commons,
said correspondence with the Russian
government was proceeding in regard
to the sinking of the British steamer
St. kilda. The government took a
very serious view of the matter be-
cause it had received the most specific
assurances that no such action would
again be taken.

Proposed Conference. !.
Washington, June 21.-The state de.
partment has received dispatch from
Mr.. Gummere, minister to Morocco,
transmitting request from the gov
eminent OF Morocco that the United
States participate in a conference on
the affairs of that country. The re-
quest is similar to that which has been
sent to other governments.
The reply of the United States was
discussed at the cabinet meeting, but
no decision was reached because the
United States first desires to know
the scope and purpose Of the confer
ence. Other governments have re-
piled in substance that If all the great
powers participated they would also
accept.
The interests of the United States
are only commercial, it is said, while
those Of Germany and France are pc.
litical. Consequently the United States
does not have such interest in the con.
ference as the governments of Eu
