In the stock mnrket, after 11 o'clock, the heavy pressure was removed to a certain extent; but stocks continued to come upon ihe market, and prices again took the downward direction. The Grangers, Vil lards, and New England, were the chief bull'orers In the decline. DETAILS OF THE FLUnRV. New York, Nov. 10. The stock market today continued the rapid and heavy de cline of the latter part of last week, and for a time this moruing it looked more like a panic than at any previous time since the downward movement began. As remarked by a prominent western manip ulator of stocks and other speculative commodities, it was only a rich man's panic, and thus far the slump in prices which has reached 15 per cent in some cases has been accompanied by a com plete freedom from failures upon the street emphasizing the fact that not for a long time have stocks been held to any ex tent upon the street in brokers' offices on margins. Today, however, the excitement, which was of the suppressed order, and almost "( entirely free from the usually noise and wild gyrations which have marked the transaction of business on the stock ex change at times, was sufficient to cause tho death of one of the leading members of he exchange upon the floor at about noon, uch an event would, in usual times, have been sufficient to cause the closing of tho exchange at once; but the magnitude of the interests which would have been en dangered by such a course forbade it, and after a half hour's interruption of business, trading was resumed upon the floor. The Gould pnrty are credited today with being large purchasers.

Tho panic received fresh impetus from London this morning in the first prices made in that market, before the opening of this. All stocks opened there 1 cent lower than they closed here on Saturday tho latter drop being on Union Pacific. Money was higher in London at noon, and all the great banks of Europe npjcar to bo grab bing for tho diminished supply of gold, some of which has gono to Spain and South America." shouted out their bids for stocks and an nouncement of sales. A messenger was hurriedly sent for Dr. Hewitt, who is a member of the stock exchange. He came seven minutes after Struthers had fallen. He saw the case was hopeless, and in three minutes he said Struthers was dead. As soon as it became known, President Dickeraian stopped the noise hv mounting the rostrum and announcing the death. He said business would be suspended for half an hour on account of the death; whereat, scores of brokers rushed off to make up their accounts. Gray-coated at tendants of the exchange brought a stretcher and the body was removed. Cor oner Levy came and examined half a dozen witnesses. Dr. Hewitt said he be lieved death was caused by apoplexy. Sharp to the minute or 12:30 o'clock exactly one-half hour after the recess had been announced the president again mounted the rostrum and made the official announcement of the death of James Struthers, late member of the New York Stock Exchange. Then as he stepped down, there was a rush and a shout, and business had once more been resumed on the floor. Mr. Struthers was 58 years old, and was a member of the firm of James Struthers & Co., long since dissolved. He leaves a wife and a young daughter. He lived at 123 East Fifty-seventh street. WINDOM AND THE PANIC Washington, Nov. 10 Secretary Win don was kept fully advised of the con dition of tho money market today, but uiu noc ieei cauea on to taKo any action m the matter, beyond tho purchase of all the silver bullion that was offered the depart ment. The director of the mint said this was doneifor the relief ot tho market. The available treasury cash balance will be used principally in the redemption of the 4i per cent, loans. The secretary's offer of October 9. to redeem this class of bonds on presentation, at par, with interest to maturity, September 1, 1891, is still open. The bouds are coming in very slowly, and the total redemptions to date are less than five million dollais. A BUDGET OF NEWS OF VARIOUS DEGREES OF INTEREST.

PALMER'S HOPE. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. An error has been discovered in footinir un the returns nf Mm Second senatorial district, and it now ap pears that Kinney, the Democra'iccandi date for representative, was elected in stead of Hoppin, the Republican, as re ported. Owing to tho fact that the two parties have been thought to be a tie in the legislature, this discovery is of considera ble importance. If the official count veri fies the election of Kinnev, the Democrats will have 101 votes in the assembly and the Republicans but 100, thus making the election of John M. Palmer to the United States senate next thing to a certainty. GALVESTON SHIP LINE. Galveston, Tex., Nov. 10. There is a movement on foot which is rapidly assum ing practical shape looking toward thees- laonsnment ot a lino of steamships for reciprocal commercial relations and to ply between Galveston and various ports on tho northern states of South America, having connection with the systems of railroad lines running south from Cartha gena, and which will penetrate all the Pa cific States Of South America nnd t.-in ! all latitudinal lines of that country, thus 111U.R.1UH wiuiu iriuutary to uariuagcna aim the line of steamers contemplated to be es tablished between this port and Cartha gena.

The November returns to the department of agriculture of rates of yield per acre, make the following averages: Corn. 19.9 bushels; potatoes, 57.5 bushels; buckwheat, 14.5 bushels; hay, 120 tons; tobacco 57K pounds. The corn crop makes the smallest yield reported, exceedincr onlv thnr. nf isst which was 18.G bushels. That of 1SS7 was 20.1. It is S3 per cent of the average of t he last ten years, a period which includes four unusually poor years, and onlv 73 per cent of last year's crop.

Washington, Nov. 10. Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, minister from the United States to Eugland, reached the city this morning from Chicaco. He called on Secretary Proctor at the war department early in the day, and held quite a reception among his old official friends. Ho looks exceed ingly well, being somewhat stouter than he was while secretary of war, and he ap pears to be in the best of health. To an Associated Press reporter he said, in a positive manner: "Tho stories to the effect that I intend to resign my post, aud that I shall remain henceforth in America are absolutely false. I came here on a leave of absence, and General Booth continues receivingletters commenting favorably on his book, "In Darkest England, and the Way Out." setting forth c scheme for tho relief of poverty, ignorance and vice. The prince of Wales has written Gen eral Booth, thanking him for tho receipt of a copy of the book. He says he is con fident that be will be greatly interested in the perusal of the work, and that its sub ject is one that for many years has had much at heart. Letters of approval have also been re ceived from the bishops of Bath, Wells and Rochester; from the Rev. Mr. Moul ton, president of the Wesleyan confer ence, and Mr. Grubb, of the Quakers, who encloses a che k for -50. Chairman Laing, of the Brighton railway, has also written General Booth a letter in Bympathy, in which is enclosed a check for 100, con tributed for the furtherance of the scheme. General Booth has published a letter ex pressing thanks for the general support accorded him aud suggesting combined action on the part of the churches in the collection of funds. A circular letter, ap proving of the scheme and General Booth's suggestion, has been issued. It is signed by a host of clergymen, including Arcnaeacon jjarrar, ur. .rarKer ana Messrs.

The big clock on the wall of the Stock exchange wnntud ilf- ' en minutes of 12, when a trimly built man, a '' se hair was gray, entered by the Wall :tvr door. He was James Struthers, ami 1 e walked slowly and with eudent effort uirough the crowd toward the center of t ic ivom. Men who know him aud saw l'mp'8, remember now when thev talk 1 1 his dtmth, that ho acted as if something was the matter with him. They were too 1 usv to pay much attention to a sick man at the time too busy watching the rise and fall of the markets. It whs 11:50 when druthers roHchml a iKint on the floor le tween the sunds of the New York Central and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Grouped there Here C R Gunthcr, E. O Reed and a Mr. Francis. As Struthers t ime up behind Read, he tottered and brushed past him.

Tle next man he reached was Gunther. He tell wu- up against Gunther, who stepped cc tb f,U out of the way. This permitted hitu to fall to Ins knees. From that position lie tumbled forward on his face. Then Gunther and Reed jumped to his side and turned him ovur on his lwck.

Prof. Koch has dis missed as completely cured several of the patients whom ho lias been treating for sumption, iiis son-in-law, Dr. Peuncucl, promises that the method of tho treatment will be made public within three weeks. He said that the method is not. exactly or t lie nature of inoculation. He asserts that it cures lungs quickly and surely. BERLIN, Nov. 10. Prof. Bergman inocu lated fifteen consumptive patients on Thursday 13' Prof. Koch's process, and on tho following day exhibited one of the patients before a number of physicians in order to show the change that had resulted within twenty-four hours. The Borscn Courier says it hns authority for the statement that Prof. Koch's remedy has proven to bo a success. A famous German surgeon, it says, cured within five days a case of lupus or necrotic tubercular destruction of the tissues of the face. Tho National Zeitung says that Prof. Koch, although he has performed a num ber of cures, does not consider the time come for the publication of his researches. Although the remedy has been applied to patients in tho charit- hospital aud in some private cases, its composition re mains a profound secret. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Denver, Nov. 10. Tho general assem bly of the Knights of Labor met in the Fifth street theatre in this city this after noon at 3 o'clock. There are already in this city over 300 delegates, and 103 more are expected to arrive tonight and tomor row morning. Among tho most promi nont knights present are Grand Master Powderly, A.

Rarely has the Metropolitan opera house held such an audience as it did tonight when the Irish societies of the city of New York gave a public reception to the Irish representa tives, Messrs. O'Connor, O'Brien, Dillon, Sullivan, Harrington and Gill. There were about 4,000 people in the house, 3,200 being seated, and the remaining 800 on the platform and standing. At 6 o'clock peo ple began to demand admission, and when the doors were thrown open at 7, the top galleries were immediately packed. There were few deco rations in the house. An Irish flag was hung on either side of the first balcony. and the background of the stage was formed by two American flags, with a golden harp joined on a square of green in the center. The Sixth Regiment band was early in attendance and held the attention of the audience previous to the opening of the meeting, by playing such airs as the "Wearing of the Green," "The Star Spangled Banner," "Marching Through Georgia," etc. The audience filled the interval by cheering alternately for Par nell and the members of the Irish party, and hissing Balfour. A few minutes before 8 o'clock Messers O'Brien and Dillon walked on the stage. This was a sicnal for loud and enthusiastic plaudits, the neartiest of which came from the gallery, where the enthusiasm was of the wildest kind. The Irish party were escorted on the platform by Governor Hill, Mayor Grant, Recorder Smythe, Dr. M. B. Wallace, Amos J. Cummings and Joseph O'Donoghue. The Irish patriots took seats on the right of the stage, after shaking bands with many of those on the platform. Governor Hill took a chair in the center of the stage. When the loud outburst of cheers hud ceased, Mr. O'Donoghue called the meet ing formally to order. After a few appro Enate.remarks, he introduced Mr. John illon, who spoko of the Irish cause. When Mr. Dillon concluded the applauso was deafening, the band again played "The Wearing of the Green," and Gov ernor Hill next introduced Mr. O'Brien, who met with a reception as cordial as any that had been accorded during the evening. He said that he was gratified and as tonished at the welcome that had been given him and his compatriots. "We como here not for a relief fund, but for a fighting fund. Cheers. We want to fight tins system that has muue tno lamine and wo want to crush it." The secretary of the p.irl?jnentary fund then announced that the totals amonnt subscribed was: Receipts from the doors $4,000; subscriptions in the hall $33,000. Mr. Eugene Kelly was appointed treasurer ot tne fund. Governor Hill said ne wonld like to contribute when the delegates visited Albany, but he however, would subscribe on the spot $100. He then intro duced Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor, M. P., who spoke briefly. This ended the proceedings. Mrs. Parnell was an interested spectator during the evening.

MORNING SESSION. Howard and Linn were the only ab sentees at this morning's session of the counciL The reading of an amusing bill provid ing for taxes upon occupations, first enter tamed the councilors. The taxes proposed to be levied were so exorbitant that they would likely result in a prohibition of all occupations. It was referred to the pruning knife of the committee on ways and means. A divided report came In on tho liquor question and the matter was made a spe cial order for Wednesday morning. The council resolved itself into a com mittee of the whole, for the consideration of a bill prepared by Mr. Brown, of Okla home, defining the words "occupying claimants, and providing protection for their rights. It provides that where a person has set tled on town lots in good faith and im proved them, when it is determined that he is not entitled to possession, that he is entitled to the value of his improvements. Tho legality of this provision was at tacked by Mr. Brown of Logan, who said that the party to whom the title was awarded might not be able to buy the im provements. Mr. Brown of Oklahoma, was prepared with a fond of authorities to show that the subsequent provision in the bill bad been sustained by tho courts. According to these provisions, in case the owner of the land was unable to purchase the im provements, then the value of a portion of the land should (be determined and the owner of the improvements might pur chase it; otherwise they would be consid ered as tenants in common. The importance ot the question called forth a full discussion on the part of the legal members, which continued until ad journment for dinner. make a large investment in a water way with an assurance that it will be taxed whether it is used or not? I dig this canal, I pay the persons through whose property the ditch runs $50 per acre, I give them the use of the water for the purposes of irrigation, thereby enabling them to produce crops, unfavorable weather to the contrary. The general prosperity of the country is enhanced and the water made available. Does not this in itself prove of inestimable benefit to the surrounding country? The minute I begin to uso the water for milling or other manufacturing purposes, niv mill, mv machinery, and all the appurtenances must be taxed. If other parties utilize the water for manufactur ing their plants are taxed. Docs not the country at large reap a rich harvest in the way of taxation? Now, suppose this ditch is not dug. What has become of the revenue that came in from the taxation? Where are the abundant crops the result of irriga tion.' j.ne gentleman irom Payne one day wishes to exempt everything- "from taxa tion; the next ho wishes to tax everything. Where does he stand? Why will ho not bo more specific? Why will ho notshow a reason why the canals should bo taxed? I am in favor of striking out section 4, If it meets the approval of the house, let it come under the general law. The gentle man from Payne has stated that he in tends going into this business. I would adviso him not to act hastily in this mat ter. He will do well to count the cost, or he will find his exchequer depleted, and himself a sadder and wiser man. Mr. Clark Do men through whose land the canal runs pay taxes upon tho land used for the canal? Mr. Jones Certainly they do; and do not object, as they consider themselves moro than compensated. You would have this land pay double taxes. tha railroad bed and the railroad besides? Mr. Jones Yes: fortherailroodpsTs alL Tho man through whose land the railroad runs receives no benefit therefrom.
