New York Stock Market.

New York, May 10. II a. m.--After
the opening the market became quietly
strong. Foreign houses said the de-
clines cabled from the other side were
misleading, and while there has been
some continental aud provincial liqui-
datition, the weakness resulting was only
temporary and it was impossible to buy
stocks there at the price quoted in the
cables. Important speculative interests
were the principal buyers of stocks on
the early decline and during the first
hour. There was no selling pressure
from any source, except the usual Sat
urday closing of contracts by room trad
ers. Government bonds unchanged.

London Comment.

London, May l3. The Saturday Re-
view in commenting on the recent speech
ofPresident Rooseyeltin regard to the reg
uIation OF railway rates, says: Sometime
or other the American people will have to
face larger issue than that which di-
vides the country into rival interests of
individual capitalists on the one hand
and of the public and State on the other.
In spite of the capitalistic trusts the
principle advocated is likely to gain
ground and the President, in asserting
the right OF the State to prevent railways
from arranging rates to suit this or that
interest, is on the side OF angels. "

So far as can be ascertained 100 lives
we're lest by the tornado TT Snyder, Ok

The Frisco Railroad from the depot TO
the limits of the corporation 10 each d.
rection is strewn with timbers, pieces of
brick and stone and other things cast
there by the storm. 1t required consid-
cradle work to clear the tracks.
Pitiable scenes of want and suffering
were seen in Snyder yesterday on all
sides. Much confusion still existed de-
spite the efforts of hundreds of outsiders
to aid the victims of the tornado. On
Thursday night many Who had lost every
thing they possessed went hungry and
practically IN protected from the cold.
Many bodies lying in temporary NOR
CUES remained unidentified, while among
the injured dozens who suffered from
ugly wounds or broken limbs we're with
out proper medical attention. Others
still were missing, and an exact Int OF
the casualties was not to be hac.
During heavy wind yesterday sc@s
of the injured were conveyed on stretch
ers from the improvised hospital TO yari-
GUS places. Rain began falling furiousIy
and the wounded people were drenched..
The wind subsidized and the injured we're
returned to the building from which they
were taken.
All the graves dug for victims of
the tornado are filed with water, which
must be bailed out before the bodies can
be buried.
All Thursday night two dozen men
worked necessarily preparing the bodies
of the victims for burial, and YESTERDAY
dozens of funerals were held. Plenty Of
collins had been cent, but wagons and
drays had to be used in carting the re-
mains TO the cemeteries. Ali day long

WIEN the Panama Canal proposition
was pending in Congress the descriptions
of the isthmus suggested the Garden Of
Eden. 1t was admitted that the EN-
ployes of the French company died in
large numbers, but it was said Ameri-
cans were not Frenchmen and sanitary
science had made great strides in quar-
ter ola century. 1t was also asserted that
the climate was lovely, yellow fever
could be easily suppressed, and as every
man would be encased in a mosquito
proof cage no one would have malaria.
Some unfortunate Americans who
thought themselves lucky to get employ
ment on the canal have survived and
got home. Their accounts of the food,
the water, the barracks, the climate, and
the prevalence of disease and the death
rate do not support the rOseate pictures
drawn in advance by the canal enthusi-
asts.

Not 70 be Allowed Counsel.

Moscow, May 1S.--The governor of
the Province of Vladimir has issued in
structions to the local authorities throuh-
out the district not to allow the peasants
to apply to barristers to support their cases
in the law courts. The reason assigned
for this unusual order is because the
"5arristers' are immoral persons who
always try to seduce iliterate people
with revolutionary promises. The efert
of the order can readily be understood as
it will leave the peasants helpless to re-
sist by legal steps any grievances they
may have, while landlords will be able to
retain their own lawyers without inter
ference.

DR.. WILEY, Of the Bureau Of Chemis-
try, thinks the ordinary limit of human
activity will soon be ninety instead Of
seventy years. The chief aids to such a
result, he afiirms, are heredity, temper
ance, work and play--in other words, a
rational life. Of these necessary ele-
ments all except one-heredity-are, or
should be, within the individuals con-
troll. Science is adding greatly to the
span of life, and when its aid is supple
mented properly by the individual, GEN.
tenarians will be so common as not to
excite remark. The difficulty lies
naturally with the human element in
the factors and the prepondersnce of in
cIination and desire over the reason and
judgment.
