New York, Juno 24. Exohange
this morning became extremely activo
and excited with heavy declines. The
markot opened with a feeling of 'con
fidence in many of the stocks whioh
suffered so severely yesterday and
large supporting orders were given
all over the room. In a few moments
there was heavy selling apparent, and
reports were circulated that Jay
Gould was dead and that there had
been a falling out between Jay Gould
and Bussell Sage and Cyrus W. Field.
At the same time heavy blocks of
Manhattan stock were offered, caus
ing prices in that stock to break from
156 to 120. The room was crowded
with brokers and the decline brought
out selling orders in all classes of se
curities. Western Union telegraph
stock began to break down about 11
o'clock and in fifteen minutes had
dropped eight points. The fll in
other stocks was correspondingly
great. The greatest excitement was
in the loan crowd where many inqui
ries were made for loans on call, but
parties prominent in loaning money
refused to lend any amount, no mat
ter how small.
The excitement reached its greatest
height shortly before noon and a ver
itable panic was developed. No at
tention was paid by brokers to frac
tions in sales made by them and the
fluctuations were so wild that sales
were sometimeV from" five to ten per
cent, apart. Stocks bought near the
opening hours were thrown over when
the break ocourred and this selling
completely demoralized th specta
tors. Wall Btrfeet was the fcc-up of
more excitement than has beun wit
nessed since the May panic of 1S85,
but the increased short interest saved
the money panic by its demaud for
stooks for delivery, and -some large
operators entered the market and be
gan buying freely. They soon gath
ered a large following and, by heavy
buying, turned the market almost as
rapidly as it had fallen and stooks
took long jumps back to former
prices.
No failures are announced. Jay
Gould denies the story that he and
Cyrus W. Field had quarrelled, and
says they are as good friends as ever.
A SURPRISE AIi ROUND.
Salinas, Cal., June 24. The trial
or E. S. Simmons, for the alleged fir
ing of the Del Monte hotel has come
to a sudden close. This morning the
prosecution rested shortly after" the
opening of court, and the defense, to
the surprise of everybody, also rested
and expressed a desire to submit the
case without further testimony or
argument. The prosecution, although
taken by surprise, demanded that
the case bo argued before the jury.
INTERNATIONAL COURTESIES.
Loceport, N. Y., June 14. The
recent order of the Dominion gov
ernment to Canadian customs officials
at Windsor to make a record of
all Amerioan residents at Detroit
and vio'.nity, who daily cross the line
to engage in work, has led to a
counter move by the collector of
customs at Niagara Falls and the
suspension bridge. This morning,
when the Canadian laborers engaged
in employment on this side, reached
the frontier of the United States the
customs deputies demanded their
names, ages, residences, occupations,
and where and by whom they were
employed. During the day notices
were served upon employers of these
foreigners that if they should con
tinue to employ such foreign labor
after July 1st the distriot attorney
would be recommendejl to proceed
against them according to law.

Considerable attention was attract
ed yesterday about G p. St., on this
part of the insignificant little gob
of mud we call "the earth," by the
majestic appearance of the planet
Venus. Although the sun was several
degrees above the horizon and was
shining with undiminished splendor,
that brilliant evening star was glow
ing in the horizon and as visible to
the nude eye as the crescent moon,
near which the sparkling orb was
scintillating. And when the last rays
of the declining sun had darkened
into the gray of twilight which in
turn mellowed into the blue and sil
ver of the night, the Hesperian visit
or kindled to a brighter fire and hung
above the fir-fringed hills like the
rounded essence of a million con
centrated electric lights, its brilliancy
occasionally overspread by twinkling
tears as if in sorrow at the Bad lot of
man at having to pay 20 cents for a
little half-filled box of raspberries.
That dispatoh about the railroad
from Forest Grove here, whioh ap
peared in the HJews last Wednesday
and was copied, here the next morn

day before. Pilot Dan Graham, who
arrived in charge of the Columbia

toria railroad is the general topic
among San Francisco business men.

Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
lias used Hoselee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump
tion, severe Conghs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in faot all throat
and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relievo any case, and wo
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine as
the German Syriq) cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist
about it Sample bottles to try sold
at 10 cents. Regular Bize, 75 cents.
