BREAK IN STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. lO-'rhe violent
break in the stock market this week is
usually attributed in the financial dis
trict to the hue and cry against corpo-
rations from many quarters. A vul-
nemble speculative position was un.
nerved and loiding tactics by profession
al bears were actively employed. The
growing contraction Of money resources
is a price element in the United States.
The interior has begun to draw curren.
cy away from New York and large syn
dicate requirements had to be met for
subscriptions due on new securities. The
recession in the iron and steel trade and
the decline in prices Of copper kept
awake to the probability of trade re-
action, The stock market up prices
are abck to or below the prices of the
March panic,

Uncle Joe Cannon to be
Pushed for Presidency
After Holidays.

Washington. D. c.. Dec. 16-Im-
mediately after the holiday recess Of
congress Joseph C. Cannon's presi-
Dental boom will be launched in
earnest. Just what peculiar form the
launching will take IS a matter which
the promoters Of the speakers candi-
dacy have not definitely divulged It
Will be in such manner. however as
to let the whole country know that the
statesman from DanvilIe is real. sure
enough, never say die candidate for the
political shoes of Theodore Roosevelt.
Up to the time congress convened
there was not much TO the Cannon boom
but talk. but now 1t is to be serious
matter with hustling committee
actively at work in the interests of Mr..
Cannon. During the last month Mr..
Cannon has with difficulty restrained
his supporters from coming out into
the open and pushing him to the front.
Why HustIing Was Delayed.
There were two reasons a month ago
why he wanted to be kept in the backA
ground One was on account of the
fact that there was so much talk Of
the denomination Of President Roose-
welt, and the speaker did not want to
be regarded as an active candidate
until the president should again de
clare himself against a third term The
other reason was that he desired to
have the matter of the appointment OF
the house committees out of the way
before the real work in his behalf
should be begun.
The first Of these reasons has beer
overcome by the presidents reiteratior
of his election night statement that ht
would not again be a candidate for the
| presidency, and the second will be OBJ

The speakers friends were crowding
him so hard and were so anxious to ge
busy that he was seriously considering
! the advisability of allowing Represen
tative CIayton's anti-third term resolu
ton to come up in the house, when the
president forstalled such a movement
| by declaring himself.
The resolution undoubtedly would
have passed, and In that event, ever
without the presidents statement, Mr.

excuse for booming him as a candidate

READY FOR HARD WORK Low BORN A MARQUISI
Childless French Nobleman
Adopts American In
FAINT as His Own.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-Instruo
lions were received yesterday which
doubtless will result in an American
child of obscure and unsanctihed par
entage falling heir to the title and
estates of marquis de Montferriers, the
scion of one Of the richest and most
distinguished families in France.
The marquis and marquise de Mont
terriers were without an heir. They
were DESTROYS of adopting a child and
being admirers of American children
decided a babe of American parentage
would best preserve the traditions of
their house They communicated their
intentions TO Mr., and Mrs. Frank Jen-
xins, one of the first families of Balti-
more. Mrs. Jenkins enlisted the aid
OF her sister. Miss Lowe.
Look for Suitable Child.
It was planned that the search for
the babe should be kept a profound
secret Miss Mary Bowie Johnson. a
descendant of Governor Oden Bowie
and a leader in Baltimore society. who
is a friend of Miss Lowe, was intrusted
with the secret and invited TO partici-
pate in the search.
An advertisement inserted in a Balti-
more paper furnished a clew TO baby.
Cores pondence developed the fact Mrs.
Baker of Winchester had inserted the
advertisement Miss Lowe and Miss
Johnson showed them a beautiful babe.
He was a healthy boy with blue eyes
and auburn hair.
Mrs. Baker stated that William Fair
fax of collateral descent from Thomas,
| Lord Fairfax was the childs father
| and Elizabeth Carroll of the CAROLS OF
Carrollton, was the mother.
! Word of the location of a babe who
| fulfilled so well the requirements de-
manded by marquis de Montferrier was
sent to him. He replied that he was
overjoyed. and gave orders that the
babe be brought to France with al
possible dispatch
Discovery Comes Too Late.
Among friends to whom the marqui:
and his wife revealed their secret was
a man residing in France who was con-
nected with the CAROLS of Carroll
/ ton. When told of his probable relation
ship to the babe he made inquiry con
corning the parents. When this wa:
| given he vOuchsafed the assertion thai
deception had been practiced.
Marquis and marquise de Montferrie1
were weH-nigh overwhelmed will
grief. They had adopted the babe ant
there was no retreat from the position
they had taken. 1t finally was discov
cred that the child's mother wa!
Fannie Virginia Carroll. 1t was es
| tablished that she was not a Carol
of Carrollton. Instead she was
country girl of humble Irish parentage
