AGAIN PANICKY.
Liquidation Threw Big Volume of
Stocks ON the Market.

New York, April 29.-Panicky condi-
tions developed in the stock exchange
in the second hour of today's session
Urgent liquidation apparently forced IN
character threw an enormous volume
of stocks on the market and the buying
demand seemed paralyzed. Prices crum-
bled rapidly and as consequence st.

Nashville 3%, Northwestern preferred
93z, Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg 111z,
Tennessee Coal 514, Metropolitan Securi-
ties 45s, Pressed Steel Car and Kansas
and Texas preferred f.
The break in prices was accompanied
by various rumorS and reports, some OF
them rejecting on the SOlVency OF IN
stitutions and individuals. There was
tremendously heavy selling from such
out of town points as Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston. The
two cities first named, unloaded enor-
nous quantities of steel stocks The
decline was accelerated by the heavy
short selling of cliQues and by room
traders generally. Stop loss orders were
uncovered in all the active stocks and
as usual on an occasion of this sort
many weakly margined accounts were
sold out at a sacrifice.
A canvass among the brokers in the
financial district elected no real rea-
sons for today's sharp declines although
it has been the opinion of the banking
element for some weeks past that prices
were beyond reason. The bank state
ment which in ordinary conditions
would have been favorab1y received,
had little or no effect today. Trading
was so heavy that the ticker was two
hours behind in reporting quotations. At
the offices of the numerous brokerage
houses they notified their clerical force
that their services would be in demand
until late this evening and many clerks
were ordered to report tomorrow. Be
tween this and Monday thousands of
Wall Street spectators will receive
notices from their brokers demanding
an increase in margins

aged 68 years, from an attack of apo

the attack during the day. but shortly
after 8 O'Clock he began to grow weak

than two hours in death. The end was
peaceful and without pain, the general
remaining conscious until within Ave
minutes Of the end. Half an hour be-
fore death General Lee recognized his
brother, Daniel Lee, who came into the
room for moment.

GRIZZLIES SCARCE.
The President Reports Slaughter of
Four More Bears.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. April 29.-
Details of the killing of four bears by
the presidents party Thursday have not
yet come in. Secretary Loeb received
a telephone message from a ranch
house. two miles from the camp. The
message was dictated by the president
and read to Mr.. Loeb by Elmer Chap
man, the courier. It said:
I'VE got four bears ThursGery; we are
all we'll"
There was more to the message touch
ing upon government affairs but the
rumor that the president had been i'll
was proven unfounded.
It has not been determined when the
party will move to its new location
about sixteen miles from Glenwood
Springs. The sport on the West Divide
creek has been so good that the presi-
dent dislilxes to leave. At the same
time it is believed the change proposed
will result in the killing Of grizzlies,
which variety has been particularly
scarce. Brown bears have been found
in plenty but the grizzly and the sill
yer tip appear to be too willy for the
hunters

Earthquake shocks We're felt here at

were somewhat alarmed and many of
them rushed into the streets. but the
damage done in this city was very
slight
Canton de Valois and elsewhere They
were accompanied by subterranean
rumblings. Some houses were dam
aged.
The shocks apparently were more
severe at ChamouniX and in its neigh
borhood than elsewhere. Houses were
cracked and some old monuments
were badly damaged. The church at
Argentineres was so shaken that its
condition is dangerous
Lyons, France, April 29.-Earth
shocks were felt here and at Pontar-
lier and Gex between 2 and 8 o'clock
this morning.

MORE SHOPS HERE
Bids for Northwestern Improve
ments to Be Called For.
RumOr That They Will Include
Substantial Shops.
MAY BE THE WEDGE.
Ultimate Removal of Armstrong
Machine Shops.
Union Pacific Now Has $500
Men Working on New Track.

1t is reported that the Topeka &
Northwestern railway company, q. sub
sidiary company of the Union Pacific
railroad which is building the cutoff
between Topeka and Marysville, will
shortly ask for bids for the construc-
ton of shops in North Topeka.
It is not known in Topeka whether
the construction of shops for the To-
peka & Northwestern railway is the
preliminary step to the ultimate re-
movaI of the Armstrong shops to this
place or not. It is not stated how
much money is proposed to be ex-
pended in shop construction here.
The report, however, that shops are
to be built here seems to be well
authenticated, and in event the report
turns out to be true there is reason to
believe that the removal of the Arm
strong shops will eventually result.
Plans for the proposed new pas
senger station in North Topeka are
also in preparation by the chief engi-
neer of the Union Pacific, and at this
time it is expected that bids will be
asked for on this work at an early
may be completed by the time the
new line between Topeka and Marys-
vile and the double track between
Topeka and Kansas City are ready for
operation.
About a thousand men and teams
are employed on the cutoff between
Topeka and Onaga, and about 1900
men and teams are employed on the
double track work to Kansas City.

Another Cause Assigned for Pad

lowing bulletin concerning the pa
tient:
Mr.. Paderewsh is suffering from

the muscles of the neck and right
scapular region, brought on by a
severe shock of some kind"
PadereWski's secretary was asked
about the shock to which the doctor
attributed the patients condition and
it was said that Wednesday evening
the engine on the train to which Pad
erewski's private car was attached was
derailed near Auburn. N. Y, and the
train stopped very quickly. The jar
was such as to cause movable articles
to fall to the floor and Mr.. Paderewski

Terrible Ravages Of Bubonic Plague in
Pizagua, Chill.

San Antonio. Tex. April 29.-Pas-
sengers from Chilean ports, according
to a dispatch to the Express from
Mazatlan, Mexico, bring the first full
information concerning the terrible
ravages of bubonic plague in the city
of PiZagua, Chill. For some time be-
fore their departure the deaths IN
Fizagua had ranged from 10 to 80 a
day and the authorities were then un-
able to enforce burials. Corpses were
thrown into the streets to decOlnp pOse
and spread contagiOn. But little
headway had been made in the fight
on the disease and it seemed as
though the entire population of that
Chilean port might be exterminated
by the plague. Many persons had
been shot down by the soldiers on
guard while attempting to escape from
the stricken city.

IT Will NOT DOWN
Persistent RumOr That the
President Is I'll.
Ranchman Smith Says He Will
See for Himself.

GlenwOod Springs, Col, April 29.-Ru-
mors of a persistent character are COM
ing continually from the vicinity of
West Divide creek that the. president is
i'll in his camp. The reports are denied
by Secretary Loeb and telephone mes
sages to the ranch of W. L. Smith. two
miles from camp are to the effect that
the president is resting but is not in
disposed. Mr.. Loeb said today after
denying the stories emphatically:
DO you not think I would go to the
president if he were sick. Don't you
suppose I would get some word from
camp. I heard from there yesterday
and every member Of the party was in
good health. No word has come from
the camp today"
After this talk with Secretary Loeb
the Associated Press representative
with the presidents party called UP
the Smith ranch and told Mr.. Smith OF
the stories said to have been sent out
over his telephone He replied that the
only means of communication from the
camp to the outside world is over his
telephone. and added:
mo message of the character you
mentioned has gone out from here.

of fever. 1 heard from the camp yes
