MAY POSSIBLY REACH TWENTY PER CENT Creaeral Feella Ahoii tmo Creditors bat the Bavakfa Affairs hoM Be Woaad I'p mm toon aa Poaalble. Now that Attorney J. J. Stewart haa been appointed administrator of the estate of Thomas Officer. In place of Charles T. Offi cer, the many creditors of the defunct Offi cer A Pusey bank are llkelr to be paid a third dlrldend within a short time. The hearing on the final report of Charles Officer aa administrator is set for Wednes day before Judge Wheeler, In the district court. According to this report Officer has In his hands 114,749.84 to turn over to Ad ministrator Stewart as soon as his report ta approved. Negotiations for the sle of another valuable farm, forming part of the assets of the Thomas Officer estate, are nearly completed and those moneys and tba amount at present In the bands of Receivers Beresheim and Murphy will be sufficient It Is expected, to declare another dividend of 15 or possibly 20 per bent. The first dividend declared waa 25 per cent and the second waa 20 per cent, mak ing a total of 45 pr cent that the credltora have received so far. Should the mining lntereata owned by Thomas Officer in Colo rado pan out. It Is possible that bis estate may nearly prove sufficient to pay the bank'a deficiency. Aa it looks now, the creditors of the bank will probably realize 65 and possibly 70 per cent of their claims. There Is a feeling generally among the credltora that the affairs of the bank ahould be wound up as speedily as possible and the receivers discharged now that Mr. Stewart, who represents clalma aggregating $300,000, has been appointed administrator of the Thomas Officer estate. Plumbing and heating, liliby as Son. Law Settles Controversy. Now that the state legislature has enacted new Board of Health law it Is expected that there will be no further controversy between the city Board of Health and the county Board of Supervisors over the bills Incurred in caring for smallpox patients. Heretofore ail bills Incurred In this re spect by the city, have had to be recom mended to the county for payment by It. This has led to more or less dispute over the bills and in several lnstancea the board haa flatly refused to pay them. Under the new law, while the bills will in the first place still have to be paid by the county, the supervisors will levy a tax upon the city, town or township Incurring these ex penses, equivalent to one-third of the ' amount paid by the county. The entire amount, however, of the expense of quaran tine proper, building or providing a pest house, detention hospital, or other hospital for quarantined persona shall be collected back from the city, town or township. In which It la Incurred. As in the case of other expanses they shall bs paid first by the county. Gravel roofing, A. H. Read. 84J Broadway. First Saaday Escarsloa.

MUST WALK OR STAY AT HOME fan Fraarlaeo Street Railway Striae Made F.ffertlve by the Employes. PAN FRANCISCO. April 21. Sari Fran clscoans were without the usual facilities of rapid transit today, and many walked. The street railway strike has become ef fective. Only three lines were In operation, California, Hyde and I'nlon streets. Busi ness on every line of the United Railroad of Baltimore syndicate, which lately took over the Market street system, waa sus pended. The cables, were running, bul they drew no cars. During the day a few cars under police supervision were run over the different lines of tbe system to comply with tba franchise requirements, but no attempt waa made to carry passengers. The only facil ity for traveling over the affected district was furnished by automobiles and carry alls. Tbe day passed very quietly. There were no disturbances around the various car barns. Both sides to the contro versy held separate conferences during tbe day, tbe results of which have not yet been made public. Tbe striking employes were busy enrolling recruits and perfect ing organization. They were very confident that they had the strike won and stated that It would be impossible for the com pany to secure enough new men to carry on business. During the day there were various rumors that the officials of tbe system were will ing to settle on the bssls of a ten-hour day and 24 cents an hour, but held out on the question of unionism. Tbe rumors were de nied as fast aa they were circulated. It waa evident, however, that the railway officers were surprised at tbe strength de veloped by the strikers who claim to have about 2,000 men enrolled. The company haa not yet announced Its plan for breaking tbe strike, but it la gen erally anticipated that tbey will make an attempt tomorrow to run with the mall cars as bumpers. The strike leadera assert that there will be no attempt to Interfere with the mall cars. . Mayor Schmidts who was at Sacramento when the strike waa called reached home today and at once entered Into negotiations with tbe opposing sides for the purpose of bringing about an adjustment. Chief of Police Whitman held a long con ference with the mayor during which the attitude of he police in the controversy waa dfficusaed. Whitman reported that President Holland of the Union Railway company had requested him to place four policemen in each car sent out by the com pany with nonunion crews. Wlttman de clined to entertain the proposition until after he had consulted with tbe mayor. The mayor endorsed the action of Wltt man and Informed. him that the railroad romany could not count upon the aid of the police' at a time when there was no necessity for such intervention. He did not believe tbe police would be needed in any event, aa all reports made to him during the day were to the effect that the strike was being conducted In a most orderly manner and without any show of violence on the part of the strikers. If the com pany could find men to take out the cars they would not be interfered with enroute. VETERANS SWAMP RAILROADS Crowd Attending: Confederate Reunion Compel Abandonment of Freight Traffic.

Knight, an lnmats of tbe Soldiers' horns, a veteran of tbe Eighteenth Indiana in fantry, sad who haa near relatives In Omaba, was killed by a Missouri Pacific passenger train tonight. Tttse SPECULATION ON INCREASE Prospective Improvement In Monetary Con ditions One of Causes, REPEAL OF THE WARTAX ALSO HELPS OUT Developments Show that Morgan Is In Complete Control of the l.oaln vllle A xasbvllle Situation. NBW YORK, April 21. (Ppeclal.) Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews A Co., In hla weekly review of the conditions In Wall street, nays: There haa been a decided increase In speculative activity during the last two weeka. This could not be entirely attributed to the Louisville & Nashville incident, thouajh that may have been a stimulating factor. The principal cause has been the prospective Improvement in monetary con ditions. Local bank reserves may be low Just now, but the turning point has been reached; currency will soon return from the interior with Increasing freedom, relieving the loan situation from fear of natural stringency for several months to come. Very likely the money market will now work along fairly comfortably until the crop movement begins; assuming of coure that no seriously untoward events occur during the next three months. The effect of the recent Russian and British loans upon the International financial markets can be fairly measured. The former is nit a factor of Importance; the latter will be Issued so gradually aa not to produce any material disturbance. Possibly at a later date we may export fair amounts of gold to Europe on account of American invest ments In consols, but in view of our large supply of gold and the Increasing produc tion of the same, this n-ed cause no un easiness. The approach of peace, moreover, In South Africa will stimulate the produc tion of gold In that quarter, and so tend to divert demand from this section; the world's money markets thus being In nn easier condition than for some time past. War Tax Repeal Helps. A very Important event from the Ameri can point of view was the repeal of tho war tax bill Imposed at the outbreak of the war js-lth Spain. The repeal of superfluous taxes will of course check the congestion of funds In the treasury, which had been a serious financial menace ever since the war closed. The only effectual means hitherto of releasing funds withdrawn un necessarily by taxation was by the pur chase of bonds; a most objectionable method, because it constantly diminished the basis of national bank circulation, and so forced a further ultimate contraction of the currency, to say nothing of the folly of the government paying unneces sarily high prices for its own bonds. The repeal of the war taxes, therefore, removes a serious element of disturbance, which had it been allowed to continue would sooner or later have Involved the country In fresh financial spasms. The avoidance of such a contingency ia a distinct aid to confidence. Morgan In Complete Control. The Louisville & Nashville enlaode has developed another very important fact; vis., that Mr. Morgan is in complete con trol of that system. With masterful sa gacity he haa evidently measured the possi bilities of further contents for control in the spread of the concentration movement, and with admirable tact has accomplished his purpose without dangerous friction. After the experiences a year ago attending the struggle for control of Northern Pa cific there was naturally very serious ap prehensions of trouble by those who best understood the consequences of such con tests and the possibilities of their repeti tion. The removal of this danger hap Im measurably strengthened the financial situa tion and Invited renewed activity. These two factora then the Improved "monetary condition and the passing of Ixmisville A Nashville under Morgan control eeem to have been the signals for a revival of speculative activity, which promises to con tinue for some time to come. Many of ths big leaders have returned from their south ern trips; the large holders are known to be favoring an upward movement; there is an excellent demand for desirable in vestments, which are scarce and firmly held; trade conditions are good; railroad prosperity appears unchecked, and so far crop conditions are satisfactory. When the Boer war Is over and the waste of about $200,000,000 yearly stopped, this country will be the better off; so will the army of about 150,000 men, a large portion of whom will be released for productive employment, possibly In South Africa. Under such con ditions it is not surprising that aome of the reetlens spirits who have acquired large wealth may wish to distinguish themselves in the stock market. ConsetAitlve oper atora may not approve of all their actions, but they are not likely to do otherwise than quietly encourage an upward move ment In the market in spite of the high level of prices. Anticipate Active Market. For such reasons I anticipate a much more active market. Sharp irregularities are likely to occur because the situation Is not as satisfactory aa a year ago and real izations must follow; yet there are present all the elements necessary to active speou 'atlon, In which the railroads are entitled to a decided preference. The Industrials should be left severely alone. A keen out look must be kept upon the crop situation. A good harvest would Insure another vear of general prosperity. A partial failure would produce unwelcome results. BUYING NORTHERN PACIFIC Selling; of Germane Readily Absorbed and Induces Rise of Eight Points. BERLIN, April 21. The most activs se curity on the bourse during the past week was Canadian Pacific, which developed an extraordinary movement and was bought heavily on London and New York account. The Frankfurter Zeitung says there has been much short selling of Canadian Pa cific stock here. This stock secured a rise of eight points during the week, other wise the bourse was quite lifeless and there were few transactions. The undertone was rather firm, however, and thla im proved somewhat toward the nd of the week, under the Influence of the British loan and the securing of the control of Louisville A Nashville by J. P. Morgan, which the VoeBische Zeitung regards as of eminent significance for the American In ternational situation, since it shown anew how Americana are buying back foreign holdings In American railways.
