During the Recent Typhoon
in the Philippines.
Thrilling Rescues Of About 100
by Three Americans.
Towns Swept Away---neavy Damage
to Tobacco Crop.

Manila, Oct 22-Additional reports
VALLEY by the typhcon of Oct. -. indi
cate that loss of life will reach 500. Al
Aparri, where Il thrilling rescuc OF 100
natives was affected through the hero
ism Of Lieut. Robert Clark. Lieut.
Treadway and Postmaster Foss, the
survivors say that 300 residents of the
submerged district below APART We're
swept away and drowned.
The three Americans. aided by one
Filipino volunteer. We're Informed of
the great danger that threatened the
district and managed TO reach it by
boat Approaching the shore in Il series
of short rushes between the breakers
that threatened at any moment to
swamp their frail craft the rescuers
found scores of natives clinglna to the
poles of their wrecked habitations
Lieut. Clark and Lieut. Treadway,
CARRYING lines from the boat. fought
their way through the breakers and
swimming from house to house in the
flood water saved the lives Of about
100 men, women and children So thor
ough was their work that all but SIX
of those living when the boat reached
the district We're saved. The half doz-
en- unfortunates were swept by the
force of the water while the Americans
were striving to reach them. More than
80 bodies were recovered in this To-
cality.
It is reported that many were
drowned at Ilagan and that the town
was almost entirely destroyed.
Il is feared that the storm and the
resulting flood has seriously damaged
the tobacco crop Of the islands. The
principal supply and the best quality
of Philippine tobacco is grown in the
Caeayan district where two planta-
tons report serious damage.
Up to the present time there has been
no communication established with
other sections where the crop Is OF
great Importance.

| character Of judge you want in q

An injunction is merely an order in

court and asks the judge to issue an

of the tree Is prevention better than
cure in such a case? Why then. should
a judge refuse to issue the injunction :
That kind of remedy has been in force
for 400 years and is the most remedial
writ that we have. 1t arose to protect
poor men, not to oppose them. For in
stance, the way it arose was this: A
man borrowed $500 on his farm; ne
gave a mortgage which was in form an
absolute conveyance subject to being
made void by the payment of $500, but
the farm was worth $4,000 He failed
TO pay the $500 on the debt and in law
they brought suit in ejectmcnt and
they put the man off the $4,000 farm
for $500. He went to the King in the
cid days and he said: This j. fine
kind of justice that YOU are giving me.
You allow this man to take my $4,000
farm for $500
subsequently became the lord chancellor:
Here, you take over this case and see
whether there is Justice The lord keep
was then an ecclesiast, and he sent for
the officer who had enforced the order, or
was about to, and said This is mncori,,
stitutional: l am not going to permit you
to do it. l enjoin you from prosecution
in suit That is the way the injunction
came on.
The lord chancellor said: I am going

into court that l am going To create
and l will enjoin you until you see that
the farm should be sold, that $500 shall
be applied on the debt with interest, and
that S95oN shall go to this man who owns
the farm
That is the way the injunction grew

incre ased in Stocks Yesterday-Weak
All Day--Last Prices Were
Lowest.

New York, Feb S.---There was moth
ing striking in the news today to
account for the increase of selling
pressure in the stock market. The
movement was rather the cumulative
effect of the feeling of discourage
ment that has grown up during the
week as to any prospect for the early
revival of the widespread demand TO-
securities, such as can only form a
lproper basis for successful speculative
operations. A considerable period of
Idullness and neglect of the stock mar
ket is clearly the expressed anticipa-
ton heard amongst habitual operators
and voiced in the atcion Of the market.
There is apprehension also Of pcssi.
BILE delay in the revival Of Industrial
and business activity i'll the country.
Sundry items of information which APP
peared today were of more cheerful
complexion on this subject than has
been the recent rule, but their put
pose was ignored in the movement
of prices
Placing of orders for steel rails by
some railroad companies promised
some revival of that important indus
try and the president of the United
States Steel corporation impaired in
formation that it was now opening at
between As and so per cent its usual
production compared with only IS per
cent of its capacity at low tide in the
middle of December. The ratio of
decrease in the gross earnings OF rail
roads reporting for the later weeks OF
January shows less favorable compari-
son with last years corresponding
period than in the earlier stages of
the contraction. giving ground for IN
ference of betterment in that field OF
enterprise. Conservative opinions OF
Importance were recorded also by
mercantile reviews.

lieyed during the progress of the SEES
