HIS LONELY PANIC
WAS ALL A ME
Isaac Siegel. Lawyer, Turns Broker
. and Kind Friends Take- an
Interest In Him.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.?Isaac
Siegel. who was admitted to the Bar,
bat who left his legal practice to become
a Wall stTeet broker, will in all
probability remember Tuesday, December
20. 1004. as one or the most
exciting days in his career. He win
also remember International Mir lug
stock, a phantom issue organized for
his enlightenment, ami as a species
of initiation to the euro.
For two hours Mr. Siegel tiaded
in International Mining rtock with all
the enthusiasm that only a youthful
rotary at the shrine of finance can
exhibit. He got some of the brokers
short of the stock, and so mixed matters
that a veritable corner was precipitated
in the phantom issue and at
one stage of the speculation he stood
to win $100,000.
While all this was going on he was
surrounded by a howiing mob of
brokers, apparently prr.ic stricken,
dealing in huge quantities of the
stock, the price moving upward and
then declining with frightful rapidity.
His hat was smashed, his collar spattered
with mud. his clothing and hair
disheveled, but be stood torth valiantly.
thoroughly believing that he was
the most important man in Wall
street.
Not for a moment in the terrifying
two hours of excitement that he endured
did he realize that he was be
ins made the butt of the entire curb
market. Xewsbovs sold bim International
Mining stock and be bought it.
Even the cab drivers a"d the sinker
ind pic men joined in the fun and
bought International Mining stock
from the enthusiast. From one side
of Broad street to the other the crowd
iostled him. yelling and howling Ji: e
tpaches for International Mining.
When finally a kind relative tool;
rim by the neck and shoved him out
>f the centre of the crowd and ex- ,
fiained matters to him he looked like :

Lttack of typhoid fever.

SCENES ALONG THE
RUSSIAN FRONT. ' "V
. e
Positions of the Opposing Armies a
Similar to Those That Existed
at Liaoyang.
^
MUKDEN. Dec. 9 (Delayed).?A. j
correspondent of the Associated Press ^
has toured the entire Russian front, j
traversing: nearly 100 miles along and
around the frost-covered burrows of s
the soldiers from the Ktm to the r
Sakhe river. ^
At all times there has been demon- .
strative but irrational cannonading t,
along the center, where, owing to the
proximity of the lines, the corps
commanders while inspecting the positions
have frequently been recog- n
nized and fired at with shells. *
13
On the extreme right and left p
fianks the lines are separated by ^
from five to eight miles, and across
p
these spaces both sides occasionally ^
march battalions, reconnoitering and
making demonstrative attacks, dur- ^
ing which each side has taken pris- ^
jnerM. The object of both Russians
md Japanese in these operations is
:he same, namely, to prevent the moestation
of the winter cantonments, j-.
The positions of both Russians and j.,
Japanese are similar to those held by
hem before the battle of Liaoyang.
ad therefore the spring campaign j0
vill find the two armies in the same tc
elation as at Liaoyang.
