Negotiating for Treaty.

St Petersburg, Oct 31.-The Ameri. can charge d'affaires, Montgomery Schuyler, jr, has opened negotiations with the foreign office here for treaty. reciprOcally recognizing naturaliZa- tion in either country and in so doing presented at the request of the for eign office draft modelled on exist ing treaties. This provides that nat uralization shall be recognized unless the person naturalized fled abroad to escape military service after being called to the colors. Under the pres- ent Russian laws the transfer of al- legiance without the consent of the sovereign is crime punishable by fine and imprisonment, but such cases generally are disregarded if the re- quired service in the army was com- pleted before the person naturalized went abroad.

THIS IS HALLOWEEN.
And Witches and Fairies Will Be
 Abroad This Evening.

All halloween, a time when it is and hold high carnival until the stroke of twelve, when they disap- pear, will be with us this evening.
 Halloween is a time when young people play various tricks by which it is supposed that they obtain a peep into the future and get line on their prospective husband or wife. These tricks include the throwing of apple parings over the right shoulder, melting lead, burning nuts, eating an apple before a looking glass and comb ing the hair at the same time and during these performances the name or face of the future husband is sup posed to appear. There is anoth~S element of the population which doesn't play tricks for any such pur- pose. They are usually seen on the street with faces blackened and arm ed with cabbage stumps and other things which they propel at front doors with unerring aim. If your bell rings this evening look out of lue W WluuOW dull Sou II oCC hllii Aci ming away.
 Flora Zabelle, the missing actors wife, who has a part in the Yankee Tourist" company in which Hitch cock has been starring, was complete ly exhausted to-day as the result of the last 24 hours. Despite the hours of worry yesterday when the search for her husband was going on in every direction and the fact that she was apparently on the verge of break down last night, she kept her place and went through her part in both the matinee and evening perform ances of "The Yankee Tourist" After the close of the performance Mrs Hitchcock remained up all night as sisting in directing the search for her husband.
 She will not listen to any theory which included flight, insisting that she believes he has been the victim of foul play. She declared that he made absolutely no preparations for flight as he had only few dollars in mon- ey and two or three rings with him when he left the hotel yesterday morning. She says that even il he contemplated flight, which she de- clares she believed he did not, he would have at least taken sufficient money to provide for himself in com fort.

RATE IS HIGHER
And Win Knowledge of It Came General Improvement in
 London
SMALL BROKERS FAIL

London, Oct 31.-The announce ment of the higher bank rate put an end to the suspense which had been hanging over the stock exchange for some days, and except in the case of consols was the signal for gen. eral improvement. Consols after being S2as receded to S2 3-lo. Americans at noon stood two to six points above yesterdays closing prices, this being more than point over parity. Union Pacific and Chi cago, Milwaukee and St Paul led the rally.
 Coppers were in good demand and Kaffirs ruled firm.
 A couple of small failures Of brokers were announced this morn ing, but they had no effect on the markets, which under the influence of the over night rally in New York and the belief that the monetary outlook was more satisfactory, had a s
 than for some time past.
 The increase had been regarded as a foregone conclusion in consequence of the inroads made upon the Bank of England's stock of gold by the de- mands from America and the recent rise in the discount rule of the Inn periaI bank of Germany. Since last Thursday the United States secured about s3,250.000 in gold from the Bank of England and in the open market, and the banks reserve had been reduced to about e21, 0,OOO, which, however, was $2,5O0,OO0 higher than at this time last year, when the bank rate was 6 per cent. It was hoped early in the month that the Bank of England might finish the year without increasing it's rate of discount, but the financial furry , in America upset these calculations and caused unwelcome pressure here, necessitating protective meas ures. Apart from the American de- mands for the metal, the Egyptian requirements for the movement Of the huge cotton crop have yet to be satisfied, and money is badly wanted in Brazil and Gern. any. Should Lon- don require assistance it seems to be agreed that Paris will help to the extent of G3,000,o00 in gold in ex- change for sterling bills, this being similar to the transaction of last !, year, when the American demand for gold was so keen. This friendly dis position on the part of the Bank oi France and the fact that. the United States treasury afforded much help to the American market during the strain, probably kept the Bank of England authorities from raising the discount rate 70 6 per cent.

Lunaphobia.

III there is anybody in this world

lions 1t Is the man who Is saturated
with superstition" said the gray head
Cd man. "Of all these the most cour-
ageous Is the fellow who walks the
streets on a beautiful moonlight night
with his umbrella raised. There are
several such heroic men and women In
New York. When ! saw the first one
pronenading down street thus shielded
from the soft light Of a glorious full
moon, laughed In company with other
skeptical observers and set the man
down as crazy. Even when had sean
half a dozen Of these victims Of luna.
phobia l still attributed their curious
performance to eccentricity or a rabid
desire for notoriety. One evening
stopped a moon fearing stroller and
asked him what he meant by such un-
usual behavior. Then I learned that
even In this hustling metropolis there
are scores Of persons who hold the he
lief that the beams Of the full moon
spell disaster for whomsoeycr they FALL
upon, and that when compelled TO 10
abroad at that time Of the month they
carry an umbrella to shade them from
the evil light"

It was o'Ferrall, the policeman, and,

and drawn.
ssBurke, my sisters up there on tho
nth door. All the other girls are out,
but tho top floor crowd is cut of. The
ptairway's burning now. There's twenty
girls penned In up there. and the smoke
will get them sure before the fames.p
Burke nodded grimly. The hook and
ladder had drawn up outside
.sI'il so up and get them to the win
aows, he said. Hurry UP the lad
dera."
A great stiffness fell on the waiting
crowd that packed the street beyond
the stretched ropes. Al tho big ladders
were put In position 1t leaked out that
one fireman had gone to fight his way
IN through the burning stairs to save
the fifth floor lacers. Then all at once
a cheer went up, and o'Ferrall looked
up. Thcladders were up, two of them,
and sttudily working their wNV down
each XII were two IRE laddies, each

had reached tina floor and was getting
the girk to tho windows. and tho big.
smooth faced policeman shut his lips
tighter and thanked God for the pluck
that lies In the smoke eaters heart.
Burke counted the girls aa he made
his way back and forth through tho
smoke. STEADILY. grimly, gasping now
and then at the window, then going
back for more Some had tainted,
but most were anxious to help and
kept their nerve. As no handed Sue
McManus out OF the window no asked
where Margery was. Sue was the last
of the regular girls.
.'Sho fell over by the stairs trying
to shut the safety DOORS" Sue told him
sobbingly. you'll never get her,
Tom"
Burke looked back. A hook and lad
der boy was yelling to him to get out,
that the floor was weakening.
"Waitl One morer' he answered,
and went Mt the thick black smoke
that hid where the stairway had been.
He never knew afterward how he
had found her, 1t seemed frightful
nightmare Of fighting blindly at leap
ing fends OF flame that tugged and
throttled him and choked out his life
by inches. And then somewhere In
the fiery hell he had found her, felt
the slender. limp figure and lifted II
in his arms, close to his heart
There was Just one thing about that
rescue that Margery never was sure
of until long after her wedding day.
Then one autumn night when Officer
O'Ferrall had dropped in on the new
home to say brotherly blessing
Burke told:
"If l hadn't thought 1t was all up

And Mrs. Burke blushed softly and
