White Metal Drops to 64 3-4 ia the New
York Market
WALL STREET NOW PASSES IT BY
No Oae Hat Faith That It Will Ad

Wheat Export on the Increase.
Gain of 2,720,000 Bushels Sent
Abroad Over Previous WeekGold
Contiuues to Flow This Way.
New York, Oct. 12. Of the many
problems now being studied by finan
ciers, stock operators and others who
study ante-election indications, closely,
the must interesting is the steady and
further decline In the price of silver,
which today touched 6514 cents an ounce
for certificates and 1)4 for commercial
bars, against 64, the last quotation
being the lowest price of the year. This
decline was partially due to a similar
drop In the London market and was also
Influenced by further delivery of certi
ficates and liquidation on the part of
the big Bilver pool which was formed
last summer, when It was supposed
that Bryan might have a chance of
election. In such an event silver would
naturally rise In value in Jumps and
bounds.
While silver declined wheat remained
stiong at the highest llgure with a good
demand fiom abroad, and const quently
more jruld Imports In prospect. The ac
tual amount of wheat on passage In
creased 2,720.000 bushels over last week.
From various estimates it Is figured
that fully $G,iXH),000 In gold will arrive
here or been In transit on the Atlantic
by the end of the week. The announce
ments today were of $500,000 gold sold
by the Hank of England in American
eagles for export una $125,000 consigned
to Muller, Hchnll & Co., which Is now
en route here on the steamship Yumurl,
from Havana.
The amount of gold Imported last
.veck was $2,213,290.
At the opening of business today the
treasury (told reserve amounted to
124.2-iO,04l. It was also said that the
gold withdrawn from the sub-treasury
mi Saturday decreased to $00,600. Most
of this gold is said to have been with
drawn for hoarding purposes.
Under these conditions the average
layman might naturally be surprised
that the predicted boom in the prices
of stocks In anticipation of McKinley's
election, would follow. It did not and
the causes assigned were various.
BROKER'S OPINION.
One well known broker, whose opin
ions are always the result of thought
Fald:
"While my natural position In the
stock Is that of a bull, I have not be
lieved since the Maine election that the
market will discount McKinley's elec
tion until the day after election. There
is a large speculative interest in stucks,
and outside buying or selling is not
brisk. Brokers are cautions about tak
ing orders, and the general tendency is
to watch and wait. Hut of one thing
we may be certain. If Bryan's elec
tion was in any way forecasted prices
would not be within an average of ten
points of where they are. Every one
would be rushing to buy silver and get
rid of stocks. Are they? No.
"The market is also largely affected
by various separate conditions. Thera
are rumors affecting Chicago Gas,
Sugar, Manhattan and various rail
roads which cannot yet show an In
crease in business due to the grain
movement.
1 lie IU1H1II UL Dim iiiuic fiuiu uaa
little effect on stocks, I believe, be
cause of the high rate of interest. Per
sons argue that gold is tlowlng here to
be loaned: but they do not consider
that every dollar sent by Great Britain
or Europe for that purpose is an evi
dence that foreign countries are con
vinced that their money is safe here
and that we are In no danger of r?pu
dlatlon. To my knowledge a prominent
a very prominent banker cabled to
his European correspondents last
week that McKinley's election Is as
sured." Other financiers argued that the stock
market was quieter than might be ex
pected owing to the spirit of .timidity
which tempts the hoarding of gold.
They said that whenever gold is at a
premium, however slight, stocks are
Invariably depressed.
Even with these causes for advance
ment or depression the stock market
grew stronger as the day advanced and
held its own fairly well.

KILLED BY HIS FRIEND.
A German Nobleman's Tragi o Death
While Touring,
Monterey. Cal., Oct. 12. A young
German toblemaa and artist Count
Von Ballestrem, was killed at Point
t'armel last night. A constable hurried
there and found Charles Ablger wan
dering listlessly around the house In
Which lay the dead body of Ballestrem.
Ablger surrendered, claiming that the
shooting was accidental. The men had
been traveling companions and friends
for six years, and this was their second
trip to Point Lobos, of which Ballls
trem had been making studies.
Ablger said: "I took a notion to go
hunting just about sundown. Balles
trem objected and grabbed the gun. We
fcagaa a playful tusala and to my hor
ror the gun went off and lodged the full
charge of shot in' his side, killing him
instantly."
The authorities have no doubt that
the shooting was accidental. The de
ceased was related to some ofhe best
known noble houses of Germany. His
mother is Countess Von Ballistrem. One
of his uncles was a president of the
German Reichstag.
RIOT QUELLED BY A WOMAN.
Wife ofSherlffQuinn Shows Pluck in
an Emergency.
Kewanee. III.. Oct. 12 Thirteen pris
oners attempted to break out of the
Henry county jail last night while the
sheriff was away. Several were Intoxi
cated, and a battle ensued between
them and the ones who had planned
the delivery and kept sober to carry It
out. A deputy was overpowered and
narrowly escaped being beaten to
death. The riot was finally -quelled by
the sheriff's wife with the aid of two
revolvers.
Deputy Sheriff Stlers had gone up
town and this fact had become known
to the Inmates of the jail in some way.
They were not -confined In cells, but
were all together In one- loom.
The outcries brought a crowd to the
outside of the Jail, and some one sent
for Deputy Stlers. As soon as he ar
rived he passed in to the jail with a
loaded revolver, but a chair was hurled
at him, knocking the weapon from his
hand. Then the prisoners threw them
selves upon him, kicking him and beat
ing him with pieces of the frames of
their beds.
Meanwhile Mm. Qulnn, the sheriff's
wife, seeing the deputy's peril, rushed
to her room and snatched up her hus
band's revolvers. Rushing to the open
lng through which food Is passed, she
pushed the weapons through, at the
same time crying for the prisoners to
beware, as she was going to shoot. The
sober ones saw she hail the drop on
them, so they ca'nied the others and
quiet was restored with the help of the
deputy.
TIRF WRITER SHOT.
Gwynoe Tompkins, Known as "Grey
stone," Is the Victim of a Jealous
Husband Who Carried a Gun.
Washington, Oct. 12. A mysterious
affray occurred this afterncon In
Georgetown, resulting In the shooting

non do plume of "Oieystone" by John
Collns.a clerk In the ofllee of the com

shot in the arm and side. How seriously
he is hurt, however, cannot be stated,
ua he was at once carried off by his
friends In a carriage and has not yet
been located by the police. Collins whs
arrested and Is now In a police station.
He will say nothing about the shouting,
although a package of letters which hi
has in his possession and of which he
seems to be most solicltlous Is believed
to have something to do with It.
Tompkins has had a divorce grant d
recently from his wife, herself a wri
ter of some reputation, over the signa
ture of "Helen Dare." She suddenly
disappeared from New York two year.
ago, was later located In San SsjariciKCo
in company with Norman Broughat, u
prominent sporting writer, to whom
Bhe was married a few days ago.
The letters which Collins holds nro
said to have been written by Tompkins
to Mrs. Collins, seeking an appointment
with her. The husband was on hand In
stead of the wife and when Tompkins
appeared, the shooting commenced.
Tompkins was taken tu the Garfield
hospital und his wound dressed. The
officials there say his injuiies are not
serious.
MUStW TELEPHONE RATES.
Postoflice Department Will Not Pay
Over $50 a Year.
Washington, Oct. 12. Telephone
companies supplying Instruments to
poBtofllces nnd branch postodices In
many of the large cities of the country
will have to reduce their rates or take
out their telephones.
All telephones in the Washington
postoflice and Its various branches were
removed today by order of Frank
Jones, first assistant postmaster gen
eral. The postoflice has been paying
from ISO to $120 a year for the use of
the telephones, and in view of the cut
rates to other patrons the demand was
made for a reduction. Mr. Jones re
duced the matter to an ultimatum of
$.10 a year. The company said it could
not furnish the Instruments at this
figure without a loss.
Mr. Jones says there is no more use
of these postoflice telephones than
there Is of others in business houses
and professional ofllces where the rates
have been reduced. The matter will be
referred to congress for action.

BAYARD ATTACKS
CHICAGO PLATFORM
Advises Democrats to Vote for Palmer
aad Bnckaer.
ATTACKS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
Vigorous Letter to Samuel Bancroft
in Which He Says that the Platform
Should Justify All Constitutional
Democrats in Refusing to Vote for
llryan and Sewall. 1
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 12. Ambassa
dor Bayard writes a letter to Samuel
Uuncroti, Jr., In which he attacks the
Chicago platform vigorously, and said
it should Justify constitutional Demo
crats In refusing to vote for Bryan and
Sewall. He also attacks the Republi
can candidates, and expresses the hope
thut. Palmer and Buckner electoral
tic kets will bo placed in every Btate.
Mr. Bayard says:
"It seems scarcely possible that any
one could be In doubt In relation to'my
personal opinion upon the very serious
issues now placed before our country
men by the machinery of the several
political organizations. The evils which
surround us and the perils that con
front us have not grown In a night, nor
have they come without warning. The
dangers of disregarding sound finan
cial principles have been distinctly
foretold and reiterated; and, looking
over the lust twenty-five years as a
representative of Delaware In the sen
ate and as a citizen discussing else
where public measures and policies, I
cannot discern any failure on my part
to speak with absolute plainness in op
position to the facts of the tlnnncial
and commercial policies which are re
sponsible for the present perilous and
distressing conditions.
In such a crisis, language of reproach,
nf crimination, would be useless, or
worse, and unworthy; but each man,
upon his own responsibility, must ask
und answer the question whether men
collectively or Individually, can, with
justice or self-respect, abandon a Just
und vital principle In the hour of its
exigency, and Just when the necessity
of Its maintenance Is greatest, and lly
from the field when the assault Is
fiercest and courage Is most needed to
defend the right. Whether the princi
ple Is embedded In the text of the writ
ten charter of our government, or Is
found in statutes Intended to give ef
fect to the constitution, the measure of
duly and fidelity Is equal; and in these
seasons of excitement, alarm, and pas
sionate unreason, which are almost In
evitable In the history of any rintlon,
a patriotic, sincere, and self-respecting
man will hear and heed the summons,
and will foci the real trial of his soul
to support, In the hour of their dis
tress, the truths he has deliberately
weighed and avowed it to be his duty
to sustain for the welfare of the coun
try to which his faith and allegiance
huve been plighted."
