Deman said he assaulted a comrade, Daniel Ferris, with a bayonet while the latter was asleep in the barracks at Columbus, O., last Friday, and he feared he had killed Ferris. He said he had started to run away, but concluded It would be best to return and take the consequences. He was held awaiting orders from the commandant of the post at Columbus. There was no wild scramble for overnight loans of Northern Pacific stock, and the new day seemed to be fair In promise. There was Intense relief at the promised succor of the Northern Pacific shortB. It was accepted as a fact that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and J. P. Morgan ft Co. would settle for ISO and believed that the action of those two great houses would fix the price for everybody. The price, It was generally agreed, was a fair one. As to the latter a very hopeful view generally prevailed. John W. Gates dispensed cbeer. Nor do Germany's difficulties end here. Italy shows a disposition to exact a commercial equivalent for a renewal of the triple alliance. Russia has declared her determination to begin a War of tariffs should the agrarians' protectionist policy be adopted by the German government—as Count von Billow hinted It would, though this was before the canal bill had received Its second setback—and In the United States there exists a growing suspicion of Germany's objects which no amount of fair words can allay. "Deeds speak louder than words," remarks our Berlin correspondent. The reported Intention of Germany to secure a coaling station on Margarita Island Is regarded as a violation of the Monroe doctrine which If persisted In would Inevitably bring the two countries Into collision. m "Men, women and children who never heard of Phillips until a feW weeks ago or who never read the commercial columns of a newspaper are now reading closely to see what Phillips Is doing in the market and what he Is saying.
