few instances the record shows rapid
recoveries. About noon business be-
came slow and prices hung fast, with
nothing in sight to put them up or
down. To all appearance the market IL
likely to go lower instead OF higher, as
the full meaning of the conditions at
the Capitol in Washington are better
understood.
The course of the market during the
morning may be illustrated by Union

at 126%, dropping to 12411, and recover

Pacific, Southern Pacific, and st. Paul

the losses. Steel, around which special
interest hangs, opened II down, at 7SA,

After noon the market continued dull,

Lnm1inence of Tariff Tlakerng Breaks the Market
STOCKS BREAK IN WALL STREET
ON FEAR OF DRASTIC
TARIFF REVISION.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Because of the
coronation ceremonies London markets
were closed today, and the usual point
ers for the early trading were wanting
in Wall Street. Before the opening of
exchange there was a good deal of
hopefulness about the financial center
that the market might be steady and
might show some inclination to rise.
But the hopefully inclined had not con-
sidered the effect of the news from
Washington that tariff revision of
drastic nature is now imminent, and
that the elements which have for SO
long unsettled business are likely to be
active for several months to come.
The project of tariff revision and the
high prices Of grain in all parts of the
country are at the present moment
formidable obstacles against any ad-
vance in the prices of stocks, and 1t
became evident a few minutes after the
opening of the market that II was TO
suffer a big drop, and possibly go per-
to a lower level The drop
showed in the opening bids, most issues
from an eighth to half point
below last nights closing. Rails were
the leaders in the fall, which did not
stop until the whole list was down
from one to two points. At this level
the market steadied somewhat, and In

Taft Much Concerned
Over Senate'S Action
On the Wool Revision
BY. i. FRED ESSARY.

NEW YORK, June 22.-President
Taft, who is here for the day, Is
shocked at the action Of the Senate
yesterday In forcing the issue on the
wool revision. He is fearful that before
the finish comes in this fight that his
reciprocity program fill be seriously en-
dangered.
While no formal statement was mdae
by the President this morning, follow
ing his return to this city from New
Haven, those who talked to him are
convinced that the developments In the
tariff fight forced by the combined in
surgents and Democrats are giving him
grave concern. He Is at the home OF
his brother, Henry W. Taft, and has
denied himself TO all formal callers this
morning, with the explanation that he
Is working on the two speeches he is to
deliver at Manhattan Beach tonight.
1t is certain that on one or both OF
these addresses, the President will make
II uncomfortable for any interest in or
out Of Congress that threatens reel
procity with defeat. He believes the
country wants reciprocal trade relations
with Canada, and he will place the re-
comes, where II belongs.
Fears Amendment.
The President, 1t is learned here,
is not so much worried over the deci-
sion OF. the Senate to take up and vote
on the wool bill and the free list bill
as he is over the likelihood that these
measures will be tackled on to the reci-
procity bill. He is against any amend
ment TO reciprocity. important or other
wise, but those who talked to the Ex-
ecutive today cannot say with certainty
that he would vote reciprocity If that

In any event the President has aban-
doned his plan for a series OF political
here today. and IL devoting
his whole time to his night spseeches.
Secretary HilIes called at the Taft
home early, and together he and the
President are working on whit may
prove to be the most important public
utterance of the President since Con-
gress reconvened.

The American Baby.

The American baby has a fine, strong ancestry. The young men of England who were impatient of reli- gious restraint and of physical oppres- sion; the young men of Germany touched with the dream of democracy; the pick of northern Europe, the strong, the fair, the self reliant, the conscientious English at bottom, but with dash of the best blood of other races-this is the American baby, and no king and no lord ever had a better heritage. Take it as it goes, in Mas sachusetts, in Ohio, in Michigan, in Washington, in California, the average American baby has in its veins more of the blood of the >P1antagenets than any king now living has. It was his fortune to have come from the daugh- ter lines and the lines of the younger sons, not from the elder son, whom British custom has marked for the aristecrat.-David Starr Jordan.

SPIRITS SAY PEARY
 DIDN'T REACH POLE.
Nor Did DT. Cook, According to
 William I. Stead.

According to the testimony of prom inent disembodied spirits, neither pr. Cook nor Commander Peary reached the north pole, but Cook got nearer to the goal than Peary.
 This somewhat astonishing state liam T. Stead of the Review of Re views of London to Arthur Robinson Colburn, a lawyer of Washington, and forwarded by MT. Colburn to Repre- sentative Roberts of Massachusetts, a member of the house committee on na- val affairs, who has been outspoken in his opposition to the proposition that congress reward Peary for his arctic explorations. r'-
 In MT. Stead's letter to MT. Colburn he says: With regard to the pole contro- have received on the subject was one from Sir John Franklin last year. He did not say anything about Peary, but said he had personally conducted Cook nearly to the pole and then left him to complete the journey himself. Seeing you have received a communication in the same sense, thought this would interest you"
 MT. Colburn believes the strangest feature about the communication from Mr. Stead is the statement that when near the pole the spirit of Sir John Franklin, the arctic explorer, who died in 1S47, left Dr. Cook to finish the journey alone.
 Representative Roberts is much cheered up as a result of this com ,munication from the spirit world.

 One of the shots entered the leg of a clerk. The wound is not a serious one.
 M. Briand was quickly surrounded by others of the ministry and by the deputies and heartily congratulated upon his escape from death.
 Gisolme, a former court clerk, who fired the shots, was quickly secured. He is well known to the police, having been but recently liberated from an insane asylum, in which he had been held following an unsuccessful at tempt which he made upon the life of the English consul at St. Sebastian. He was removed from the courts of Bayonne some time ago on the ground that he was insane. He resented his discharge bitterly and is thought to have held NJ. Briand responsible, as the premier was the minister of justice at the time.

8 SCALDED TO DEATH
 ON U. s, BATTLESR.P
Boiler Explosion on Delaware
 When Plates Give Way.

Eight men were killed and another so badly injured that he probably will die on board the battleship Delaware at sea through an unprecedented acci- dent in the fire room. Three back headers attached to one of the boilers blew off with such terrific force that the entire crew in the fire room were scalded to death, probably before they realized what had happened.
 The Delaware was making for Hampton roads and the explosion oc- cured while she was about twelve hours from her goal.
 Backheaders practically are right on the boiler itself, being the connection between the boiler and the boiler tubes. Boiler tubes run into the back headers, which are of solid steel plate. It has been generally believed that these backheaders were capable of withstanding almost any pressure There is no case on record where similar one has occurred in the United States navy.
 According to these officers the effect of the tremendous amount of scalding steam must have been instantaneous and terrific. It was, they say, like opening up the vitals of the boiler without warning and letting the entire steam pressure loose.
 First intimation of the explosion came in a wireless dispatch received at the navy department from Rear Admiral William A. Marshal, com mandant of the Norfolk navy yard, who had received a wireless dispatch from Captain Cove of the Delaware.

A Mean Advantaue.

| In breach of promise case the bar. rister who held the brief for injured beauty arranged that his fair client should be so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the jury. He began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention to her beauty and calling for justice upon the head of him who could wound the heart and betray the confidence of one so fair, concluding with peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears. The counsel for the de fendant then rose, and after paying the lady the compliment of admitting that it was impossible not to assent to the encomiums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not. to for
 get that she wore a wooden leg. Then he sat down. The important fact of which the fair plaintiffs counsel was unaware was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, assessed damages at the smallest amount. \
