LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
CLOSED Since LAST JULY.
AGAIN Open FOR BUSINESS

London, Jan. 4, 1906 P. M.-The
London Stock Exchange reopened for
business to-day after having been closed
on account of the war since July 80
Severe restrictions were placed upon
trading in order to prevent anything
approaching panic selling or the unload
ing of securities by hostile countries.
The session opened with round of
ringing cheers and to the strains of the
national anthem, heartily sung bv a
rather smaller attendance than usua4.
number of British and French mem
bers were absent on account of the war
while the exclusion of aliens who were
not able to satisfy the committee they
had severed all connection with foreign
countries, reduced somewhat the for
elgn attendance.
The single fact that business has
been resumed and then on a limited
scale and under restrictions is taken to
indicate that the greatest crisis in the
history of the Exchange has been safe
ly negotiated through the combined ef-
forts of the treasury and the Stock Elk.

The house has been redecorated dur.
ing the prolonged recess and to-day it
presented cheerful appearance. Sew
eral English members appeared in
khaki. There were no shouting of bids
across the house and business was on
strictly cash basis. The committee
decided to allow all dealings between
the hours of / 1 and 8 inside or outside
of the Stock Exchange and with arbi-
trary business banned, there will be no
street dealings in American securities
at the present time.
The general opinion was that the
restrictions to trading would curtail
business to an extent during the first
half hour. Not a single bargain occur

these securities appeared. The war loan

NEED MORE SKATES ON LAKE
Sport So Popular That Commissioner Is
Asked to Get Bigger Supply

One thousand to fifteen hundred per-
sons enjoyed skating on the Susquehan-
ma river and Wildwood Lake yester-
day and it IS a toss-up which of the two
places had the larger crowd The de-
mand for skates at Wildwood was ex-
tremely large, in fact so great as to
prompt those in charge to ask Park
Commissioner Taylor to order an addi-
tional supply. By early afternoon yes
terday all of the ladies skates had
been rented and but few of the men 3
remained.
Twelve oil lamps furnished sufficient
light at night to keep the skaters away
from the few dangerous air holes on the
lake. The moon also helps make even
ing skating pleasant.
The ice on both the river and the
lake is rough in spots, due to the strong
wind of Saturday night, but there is
plenty of smooth skating surface

MANY GERMANS killed IN
HAND TO- hand STRUGGLE
With RUSSIAN SOLDIERS

Petrograd, Jan. 3.-An official COM
munication issued tonight by the gen
eral staff of the Russian army regard
ing the fighting in Poland and Galicia,
says:
"a strong artillery combat has been
fought all along the front on the left
bank of the Vistula. The attempt of
the Germans to gain ground in certain
places in the region of the Bzura river
was without success.
son the night of January 2, we dis
covered the passage of Germans across
the Bzura in the vicinity of Kozloff
and Biskoupi. Having watched the con
centration of the enemy's forces, one
of our glorious regiments surrounded
the Germans. They attacked them with
the bayonet without firing shot and
in the hand to hand struggle which fol-
lowed killed several hundred men. The
survivors saved their lives by surrend-
ering.
About p. M, on, January 3. brig
ade of German infantry attacked our
position near Boriimow, northeast of
Bolimow, but the German assault was
repulsed with enormous losses by the
fire from several batteries and a coun-
ter attack made with the bayonet.
~ Desperate fighting occurred during
the night of January 2, continuing un-
til daybreak, northeast of Rawa where
we succeeded in dislodging the enemy
from some of the trenches which they
had previously taken.
South of the Pilida river fighting
took place at Metairie and Gaschek,
west of Inowlodz, and also southeast of
Madagascar near Volmine, where we re-

Graphic Scenes on British Battleship
When Explosion Caused by Mine or
Torpedo Sends Huge Ship to Bot
tom of English Channel

London, Jan. 4, 2.11 A. M-Captain
Arthur n. Loxley, of the battleship
Formidable, stood on the bridge smok-
ing cigarette as his vessel went down
in the English channel last Friday
morning after the ship either had
struck mine or been torpedoed, accord
ing to survivors of the disaster. The
captains last words, they say, We're a
compliment to the officer who was su-
perintending the launching of the boats
on the seamanly manner in which the
work was being done.
Captain Loxley gave his order as
calmly as if his ship had been in harbor
with her anchors down." said one res
cued sailor. ''The only sign he gave
that anything was amiss was a brief
speech with which he exhorted his crew,
and steady. men, everything is all
right Keep cool and be British!
There's tons of life in the old ship!"

the scene Oh board the battleship.

but it ihterned the dynamo room and
put all electric lighting and the wireless
out of action.
The captain of the battleship. ac-
cording to survivors, was on deck all
the time the vessel sank When the
order was given for all hands to come
on deck the men swarmed up, saluting

Many were almost without clothes.
Flood Cuts Off Steam Supply
Two minutes after the first alarm was
given the engine room was flooded and
the supply of steam stopped. This was
the worst blow of all because with
steam the Formidable might have been
able to make port. The absence of
steam also made the work of getting the
boats out very laborious. The vessel
was soon tilted at an angle that made
1T difficult for the men to retain their
foothold.
Orders were given to make RATS and
soon the men were tearing up the decks
and bringing all available furniture
from below for this purpose. The
ships carpenters improvised RATS by
the dozen.
Second Explosion Occurred
While the second cutter was being
launched another explosion occurred.
This, curiously enough, served to length
en- the warship's life. She had tilted to
terrifying angle and it seemed as
though she might cdpsize at any mo-
ment, but the rush of water into the
portside had the effect of balancing her
better. though she laid lower in the wa
ter.
A large percentage of those saved
wore inflated waistcoats, which are de-
scribed as more effective than life belts.
The Formidable IS end was hurried by
the fact that she was struck three
times by terrific seas within the space
of minute.
