The latest reports received are from Osuna and Almon- jgla, the respective mayors of which notify the authorities that their re sources are exhausted and that they are unable to further assist the fam ished laborers and the women and children, as tbe distress Is too acute. At Acija the population has looted the bakers' stores. The mortality among Infants and aged persons is attaining terrifying proportions, and in many localities the working people are living on roots.

Will Never Make a Financial Contrl butlon to Japan. St Petersburg. The curtain has been rung down on the St. Petersburg stage, but the center of Interest in the peace negotiations between Rus sia and Japan has been transferred to Portsmouth. Emperor Nicholas, after carefully weighing the consequences of his act, has said his last word. Rus sia will make no financial contribution to Japan in any form whatsoever, and unless Japan accedes to President Roosevelt's efforts to effect a compro mise between Russia and Japan, his efforts will have proved unavailing. Mr. Meyer, the American ambassa dor, has Informed President Roosevelt of Russia's ultimatum. She agrees to cede half of the Island of Sakhalin and to pay Japan for the maintenance ot prisoners of war, but nothing more. Russia declares that she has met Japan more than half way and has proved to the world the sincerity ot ber desire for peace, but that she had rather fight than pay an Indemlty. On this point Russia has not changed her opinion one halr's-breadth. Smoker Caused Tragedy. Erie, Pa.

The dominant feeling In the Russian court as reported officially here, Is that Russia is in a better posi tion to go on with the war since she has heard Japan's terms than she was before, because the dissemination of these terms in Russia is having the effect of bringing most educated per sons to the conviction that the war must be fought out as the conditions are insupportable and because the re turn to Russia of a hair a million sol diers, discontented with their treat went In the far east and witn we vain results of their endurance, would aaa to the Internal ferment, while tbe gov ernment would not be able to trutn fully answer the accusation that 11 made a dishonorable peace.

"About seventy-five thousand." "Hu-m-mm. Fine outlook! Forty thousand shares short on a stock, with only a hundred thousand shares In all," growled Randolph Morris. "By God, If I pull out of this thing with a dollar I'll place It where you can't find It with a set of burglar'B tools!" Randolph Morris glared at his son, fumbled for his glasses and bent over tbe tape. "Fifty-five bid for L. & O.," it read. "Bid sixty for any part of ten thou sand shares. Gimme that telephone! Go to the exchange, Mason, and get on the other end of this wire, and I'll give you the orders." Shortly before noon a news agency made publio a statement which hastened the crisis. It read: "The deal in L. & O. was engineered by Mr. James Blake, tne dashing young operator whpBe advent In New York was signalized by the recent up heaval In prices. For several weekB Mr. Blake has quietly been absorb ing blocks of L. ft O. To-day he se cured ten thousand shares from Gen eral Marshall Carden, which, with tbe holdings of Mr. John Hawkins, gives the syndicate of which Mr. Blake Is the head absolute control of this valu able property. Another railroad com pany has been a bidder for control, but the Carden stock gives Mr. Blake the coveted advantage. "It Is rumored that a well-known and powerful banking house Is short this stock to the amount of nearly forty thousand shares. It opened at 29 4 and rapidly advanced to 75, and then by leaps and bounds reached 125. It Is believed that only a few scat tered shares are yet in the market, and that the stock is cornered. "Later. It Is rumored that the banking house of Randolph Morris ft Company has suspended." CHAPTER XXXI. Father and 8on. One by one the directors of the bank had entered the room where Randolph Morris, was making his fight against overwhelming odds. 83ne he recognized by an almost im perceptible bow, but no words came from his lips as he bent over the tape. TAe faces of the directors were pale and drawn from tension. When L ft O. had mounted to eighty dollars a share, Randolph Mor ris changed his tactics and attempted to check the rise by throwing all his holdings on the market. In less than an hour he hurled tbirty-flve thousand shares Into the speculative whirl pool. It was like stemming Niagara with a straw. The price did not sag. The powerful Interests back of L. ft O. pledged three millions of dollars for this stock and clamored for more. In response to a demand for mar gins, Randolph Morris deposited sev eral millions cash and valid securi ties. Alarmed by rumors, patrons of the bank formed In long lines and de manded their deposits.. There was no gleam of hope, but grim In defeat the old banker stood by the wheel and watched the ship ot his fortunes as she swiftly neared the reefs of ruin. A clerk entered and handed to Ran dolph Morris the yellow slip of paper containing the bulletin. He read It slowly, crumpled It In his hands and threw It on the floor. Grasping his massive gold-headed cane, he brought it down on the glass dome which covered the delicate mechanism of the ticker. One of the flying fragments cut his cheek and a few drops of blood slowly trickled down his face. 'The corporation of Randolph Mor- rig ft Company is bankrupt!" he said, rising to his feet and looking Into the faces of his astounded associates. "The Board of Directors will convene at once and take formal action to that effect Be seated, gentlemen, and come to order. You may make the motion for suspension, Mr. Mason." When Randolph Morris adjourned the directors' meeting he looked about tor his son, but he was not in the room. He found Arthur Morris with in the caged enclosure occupied by the paying teller. In his hands were several packages of money. "What are you doing there?" de manded Randolph Morris. Cashing a check," was the sullen reply. Yon are a thief as well as a fool," roared Randolph Morris, his hand on the door and his features convulsed with passion. "No officer of a bank os the point of suspension has a right to accept or withdraw funds, and you know it" He grabbed Arthur Morris by the shoulder and dragged him through the narrow doorway. My curse goes with that money!" he shouted, his face convulsed with rage. "You have dragged me down Orasprfg bio magi jtettW cane be brout Mom on the jlm dome to shame and poverty In my old age. I hope, by God, that everything you buy with that money will give you pain! I wish to God" His voice was choked, the blood surged to his temples, his hands clutched at bis throat, and with a gasp for breath he tell heavily to the floor. Before Arthur Morrla realized what had happened, others were by his father's side. The stricken old finan cier partially recovered consciousness before a physician arrived, but again sank Into a most alarming condition. "Apoplexy," said the physician. In answer to a question. '"Is this his first attack?" he asked Arthur Mor ris. "I don't know," was the reply. "I've seen tbe governor so mad he couldn't speak, several times, but never so bad as this." As he spoke Randolph Morris opened bis eyes and they rested on his son. ' "Take him away," he said, averting his eyes. "Take him away, and give me a chance to live." "You're all right, governor," said Arthur Morris, as the doctor gave him a signal to stay out of sight "Keep cool and you'll come out on top. I feel as bad as you do about It, but there's no use in kicking. Brace up and take your medicine like a man; we may win out yet." To which encouraging advice Ran dolph Morris made no reply, and the son left the room. As Randolph Morris was tenderly carried down the steps, through an angry crowd, and placed In an ambu lance, he opened his eyes and looked longingly at the building which bore his name. Thus he made his last Journey away from the roar and tur moil ot Wall street; a mental, physi cal and financial wreck, cast on the shores of oblivion by a storm terrific and unforeseen. Arthur Morris, stripped of all power by tbe action of the directors, stood amid the wreck of his fortunes. He was a witness to the compro mise by which a representative ot James Blake ft Company agreed to terms, which, while protecting the de positors, called for the sacrifice ot the millions which once stood in his name. The fifty thousand dollars he had suc ceeded at the last moment In draw- ing from the bank was all that was left to him. Through the long hours of that eventful day General Cardan's eyes were fixed on tbe stock board. Fw ot the excited customers of James Blake ft Company recognized the ex banker, and none knew the reason for his absorbing interest In the fluctua tions of the stock labeled L. ft O. Who was this man Blake, and why had he offered to place a fortune In his hand? Why had this stranger come from out the West, and by '.he magic of his touch, transformed a worthless stock Into one of so grtat value that millionaires struggled mad ly for its possession?. When he took his last look at the stock board L. ft O. was quoted at 105. He nervously drew a slip of paper from his pocket and made a rapid calculation. If Blake chose to realize at the quotation, General Gar den's share of the profits would be nearly eight hundred thousand dollars. The figures puzzled him, and he made the calculation anew, only to find It accurate. This represented more than the fortune he had lost. A wild impulse came which urged him to demand of Blake the sale of his stock. What right had he to im peril that which would insure the hap piness of his daughter and the repose of his old age? Hurriedly he retraced his steps until he reached Broadway, and again he entered Blake's office. An hour had passed, and he hardly dared look at the quotations. Per haps the deal had collapsed? Per haps "U ft O. 145, 145, 146V4," called out the man who was reading the ticker. "Two thousand L. ft O. at 150!" An exultant shout went up from the crowd of men who surrounded James Blake. His handsome face was aglow with pleasure as they slapped him on the back. "My congratulations, general," Blake tald, grasping the old soldier's hand. "Our little pool Is working splendidly! Do you feel like getting out at 160, general? I wouldn't ad vise you to do so, but It you wish it can be arranged. I have a customer who will take the stock off your hands at that figure." "I I am entirely satisfied to let it alone," said General Carden, drawing himself up proudly. "Handle my stock according to your Judgment The subordinate should not question the policy of a victorious command er." "Mr. Burton wishes to see you," whispered a clerk to Blake, and the famous head ot the firm turned and left General Carden. He heard the shouts of victory and found himself shaking bands a laughing with strangers. He felt a strong grasp on his shoulder Md turned to see James Blake. "We settle with Randolph Morris ft Company at 175," he whispered, "Your share ot the profits is nearly million and a half. I'll call at your house this evening, and give yo a check for the exact amount" "I can find no words to express my feelings," said General Carden. deep ly affected. "I do not think that I am entitled to so large a share ot these profits. I I really I do not know what to say to you, Mr. Blake. God bless and reward you." "Don't thank me," replied James Blake. A strange expression came over bis face and a look of pain to his dark eyes. "I am not I should not He paused, released General Carden's hand and turning abruptly, rushed across the room and vanished into an Inner office. In the turmoil of his own feelings General Carden paid little attention to this strange action. Six hours be fore he had entered these rooms all but penniless. He left them more than a millionaire. In a darkened room In a remote quarter of the city, a gray-hatred man gasped for breath and moaned In his delirium. A great financial battle had been fought. Randolph Morris was one ot the stricken victims, and Mar shall Carden was one ot tbe victors. In this age of commercial and Indus trial barbarism, man must climb tc glory over the dead and mangled bod ies of the losers. Commercial compe tition has all the horrors and none of the chivalry of physical warfare. Thoughts such as these came to John Burt when the news circulated that Randolph Morris had been strick en in his office. The blow aimed at the son had fallen with crushing force on the father. In the hour of victory John Burt was silent and sad, and John Hawkins was not slow to glean the reason. "I wouldn't worry over Randolph Morris," be said, with a gruffness which was assumed. "The old man will recover. One stroke ot apoplexy won't kill him." "Write to Randolph Morris," said John, addressing Blake, "and say that bis personal property Is exempt In this settlement. He has scheduled It as having a value of nearly a million dol lare. I shall not take It from him. He's an old man, with daughters and others dependent on him." "Good for you, Burt!" exclaimed John Hawkins. "It isn't business, but business Is hell as old Sherman said about war. I'm going to my hotel to take a nap. Where can I see you this evening? Dine with me at the hotel at nine o'clock. What d'ye say? You. too, Blake." (To be continued.) YACHT COST HIM NOTHING. How Commodore Monroe Was Made Eligible for Position. Just what the Larchmont Yacht club will do, now that Gus Monroe is dead, the members are wondering. With Mr. Monroe the Larchmont Yacht club was a hobby. He worked harder to make that organization suc ceed than many men work at their business. He was identified with the club for more than twenty years, and all that time he was an officeholder. In 1883 he was chosen commodore. He did not own a yacht then. "Bill," he said to his friend, W. 8. Alley, "they want me to be commo dore, but I can't be, because I haven't a boat." "Is that all that prevents you from accepting the nomination?" aBked Mr. Alley. "That's all," was the reply. "Then I'll give you my yacht the Schemer. I'll have the boat properly transferred to you In consideration of $1. You can keep her as long as yon like, but when you want to get rid of her you must give roe the opportunity to take her back again for $1." "That's a go," said the commodore. The Schemer, which was the most famous sloop In her day, was dwlj transferred, and Mr. Monroe paid Mr. Alley $1. "Now, I'll match you for the dollar,'' said the commodore. They matched, and Mr. Alley lost, so the commodore got bis flagship fc nothing. He kept the Schemer for two ye?e, retired from office, and then had file yacht transferred back to Mr. Ally. When Mr. Alley paid the dollar he sug gested that they should match for (t. "Not on your life," said CommooVre Monroe. "That dollar is going to to. a souvenir of the flagship I owMl that never cost a cent." New YJrA Sun. Causes of Nervous Prostration. "Believe me," said a Spruce seft physician who makes a specialty of treating nervous disorders, "it Milt overwork that superinduces nerVMs prostration. The men who sucovHb to nervous strain are not the men fo work continually under high preHgv. The man who has no relaxation Vis no time to brood over his health, awd brooding Is fatal to a man whose nerves are highly strung. If a man is constantly busy in mind from morning until night he isn't In any danger of nervous trouble. It's only when he re laxes and gives himself a certain amount of leisure that he is danger. A man Is a good bit like a piece of machinery. It's the relaxation that tells. Take Russell Sage, for in stance. He celebrated his 88th birth day to-day, and he Is In the harness all the time.
