F., Oct. 7.—The failure of the Peary exploring steamer Windward to zeturn from the north leads the local observers to believe that the explorer will not attempt to get back this autumn.

Should that | have been the Lieutenant Peary is likely to have taken the Windward into some high latitude. hoping to use her in a further- expedition next season. This would mean that he has made no special record during the present year. Bodies Found in a Well.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 7.—David P. Lister is lying at his home suffering from severe burns received from molten iron, and that he is alive to tell of his ex- perience is a source of wonder. Lister is foreman of the moiding room of the Pioneer Iron Works. Yesterday after- noon a “heat” was run off, when hot metal is poured into molds of sand. A ladle containing 40 pounds of molten metal had just been drawn off from the furnace, and preparation were being made to pour it into the mold. At this juncture an employe threw into the hot metal a_plece of cold cast iron. In an instant hot metal was flying in all direc- tions. Lister was standing near and received the full force of the flving metal. The effect of hot iron under these circum ances is much like duckshot from a gun. It perforates everything it strikes Lister was struck in the back and sides. Much hot metal ran down inside his | clothing to his shoes. His back was riddled, as was also his sides and legs, and had not his shirt and other clothing been torn from him he must have been. burned alive, Buckets of water were thrown upon the suffering man and temporaruy relievel him. That he was not burned to death seems strange, as the hot flying iron literally covered him. e NEW POWDER COMPANY IS INCORPORATED Will Engage in the Manufacture of High Explosives in San Mateo County.

BERLIN, Oct. 7.—Influenced by the lat- est diplomatic events in China and by he remarkable ease of the money mar- ket, the Boerse last week had the best ex- perier:ce it has had for months. The fact that the foreizn powers regard the China situation as more favorable had a great weight with overators. The fall of 13 per cent in private discount on Monday~ and Tuesday acted favorably on the mar- ket and this influence was maintained un- til Friday, when the rate rose . The Boerse presented a completely that of previous months. All classes of securities showed improvement until Friday, when the rise was checked. This was followed by rather heavy falls yesterday, but the week's trading shows a moderate rise. 3 The so-calied “New York Treasuries’ gained 25 cents, the demand continuing above the supply, and Chinese gained from 2 to 4 points. Coal and iron shares rose steadily until Friday, notwithstanding the gloomler re- ports from the iren centers. The wea ness of the iron situation is apparently growing, some reductions in wages and ischarges of overatives having been re- ported. Manufacturers of structural fron in Germany are trying to find relief for the dullness of the home market by un- derbidding Belgian manufacturers. The ccal situation remains strong, but the oninion prevails that the scarcity will soon over. The syndicate has decided to raise prices in the case of a few grades after April. German cokers are offering coke at Liege cheaper than the Belgians. It iz understood that discounts at the Reichsbank during the present week wiil be heavy. The New York Exchange range has risen near the gold point and fear is expressed that German gold will go to New York. The organ of Dr. von Miquel, Prussian Minister of Finance, the Politische Nach- richten, announces that no Prussian loan will be made during the fiscal year and probably none will be made for several years to come.
