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.

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.

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.

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. "Far more
significant, however," continues the Vo
slsche Zeitung, "is the fact that the lead
ing capitalists are not frightened by the
action of the government against the
Northern Securities company."
The protraction of the peace negotiations
In South Africa haa disappointed the bourse
snd ia causing reserve in speculation.
Domestic loans were weaker, but re
covered their lost ground yesterday. Irons
had a mixed tendency and this market was
confused by conflicting reports of the In
dustry. Coal shares gained several points
during the week as a result of the situx
tion In Belgium. French speculators are
investing money in German coal shares In
anticipation of a spread of the strike In
Belgium. Machinery shares were mostly
lower, a were electric necurltles. Textiles
were hlsher. with considerable advances In
some Instances. Cements were partly lower
upon Dad annual reports.
Ocean steamship t ha res were slightly
higher during the week. Herr I'lath. presi
dent of the North German Lloyd line, said
at the annual meeting of the company,
held yeeurday, that the company had
acquired In conjunction with Herr Krupp,
an extenalve coal field, which It would soon
begin to open up. Herr Plath also said
that the nretient business vear of the North
German Lloyd line promised to give normal
results.

the shipping combine, says the conciuaton
Is legitimate that J. Plerpont Morgan has
acquired control of nearly all the British
lines of Bteamers reaching America and
that the organization of a great shipping
combine, In the style of the United States
Steel corporation, appears to be Imminent.
The branches of thla combine, continues
the paper, will retain their nominal Inde
pendence, but will be directed from the
central office. The Cologne Gazette argued
tnat the Hamburg-American Steam Packet
company and the North German Uoyd line
of Bteamers have formed a syndicate which
haa made a long term agreement with Mr.

LITTLE BUSINESS IN STOCKS
Speculators Are Timorous Over the
Situation In South
Africa.
LONDON, April 21. The barometer of the
Stork exchange fluctuated throughout the
last week In response to every fresh rumor
of peace negotiations, but actual business
waa comparatively limited, the interest In
the new loan overshadowing ajl other deal
Inga. The Immense oversubscription to the
new iRSue of consols fairly Indicates the
strong conviction among the public of the
actual proximity or peace, nut tne situation
Is too complicated to encourage extensive
speculation. The most optimistic of the
operators durlnR the flrat part of the week
proved to be moat timorous. The whole
list reu perceptibly upon Mr. nairour s an
nouncement that a definite settlement In
8outh Africa had been deferred In order
to allow the Uoer delegates time to Inter
view the commandoes. Rands also weak
ened at the end of the week without any
assignable cause and the whole mining
situation closed weaker. Home rails pronted
more than any other slock during the week
and there waa a general rise in quotations
and advance were well maintained. The
outlook for Kngllsh railways la today de
cidedly more cheerful than It has been for
six months past.
American securities attractfd consider
able attention during the week. There was
not much trading, however, and this was
Fiartlv owIiir to the fear of n corner In
iilsvllle & Nashville. The announcement
of Mr. Morsan's participation In this deal
removed some of the apprehensions of the
arbitrage houses. There Is a better outlook
for American business next week.
The money mrket expects nn easier time
for the next two months. Tlwre will cer
tainly not be any threat lockup of treasury
funds for that period. The rates of ex
change on New York, Paris and Herlln all
point to gold shipments to Indon. rather
than the reverse.
;et After las DmUrri,
ST. JOSEPH, April 21 Shortage of funds
la responsible for an order to curtail the
number of school months from nine to six.
Citlsens. dissatisfied with the prospect, are
responsible for an increase in the assess
ments of real estate and personal property
by conalderably over tMMUMi. This Is the
dodgers who are being ferreted out and
the full school term will probably be the
result.
