Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, April 20.-Speculation took
on a somewhat stronger tone this morning
and prices generally were improved. Lon
don bought few stocks. principally st.
Paul, and still has moderate supply OF
orders in our bond market. Dizziness was
the dominant factor, and professionalism
was easily detected at every point OF
activity Trades prominent in the setting
movement at the beginning of the week
were liberal buyers today, and were direct
ly responsible for the better prices, partic-
ularly in the grangers. st. Paul was
marked up per cent on covering, Burling-
ton gained "a and Rock Island IL per
cent for the same reason.
The bears were unable. after several
days of hammering, to force out any long
stock, and were obliged to buy back their
own stock at slight advances. Missouri
Pacific was strong at a gain of per cent.
and Western Union moved up 1-2 point on
moderate purchases. New England was
the only conspicuously weak feature of the
day, selling down 1 per cent on consider
able activity. The remainder of the rail-
road list was dull. and without special
feature.
Sugar was strong at fractional gains, and
only moderately active. The conservative
middle course adopted by this stock during
the last few days gives color to the theory
that 1t Is again approaching a sudden out
burst of activity. 1t is not at all probable
that such activity, come when 1t may, will
detract from present figures. The tariff
schedule, on which the entire speculative
value of this property hinges. is as surely
settled In the company's favor as anything
In future can be. Manipulation may be
resorted to by insiders for the purpose of
accommodating stock, but there is but one
assured direction for the price to take and
that upward.
Gold exports to the amount Of three and
a half millions are charged against the
banks this week. but this amount is largely
onset by gains at the subtreasury, result
ing from pension disbursements.
The market closed dull at fractional net
gains for the day.

THE NATIONS CASH BOx.
Additional Safeguards Adopted at the
Treasury Department.

Additional safeguards have recently been
thrown around the money vaults In the
treasury Department. The vaults are no
longer open to public inspection and visit
ors to the strong box are subject to a
stricter scrutiny than heretofore. The
large silver vault in particular. which was
one OF the principal objects of interest to
all strangers in the city, has been en-
tirely closed to outsiders since the rob-
berries perpetrated by the treasury mes
senger Anderson a few months ago. Extra
watchmen have been added and their ar
mament has been increased
Inc principal change, however is in the
eash room fronting the main entrance to
lne building on Pennsylvania avenue
mere are three entrances to this room
from the corridor and enc to the gallery on
the floor above. These are all public en-
frances. They have now all been closed.
with the single exception of the central en-
trace on the main floor. The gallery is
closed altogether from the outside. and the
Two side doors on the main floor are locked
and barred tight. The officials say there is
no special significance in these changes ex-
planning that additional precautions of this
character are always taken when a large
crowd Of visitors to the city Is expected on
occasions like inaugurations, military en-
caEITents. conventions, etc.

The German Emperor Delighted Owe,
Royal BetrOthal.

| COBURG, Germany, April 20.-The be-
! trothal is announced Of the czarewitch
Grand Duke Nicholas), heir apparent to
the throne of Russia, to the Princess Alix
Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice of Hesse.
For long time past it has been known
| that an attachment existed between the
czarewitch and the Princess Alix, and it
has frequently been reported that they were
betrothed But these reports have as fire.
quently been denied.
A few days ago it was reported that the
czarewitch contemplated resigning his sue
cession to the throne in favor of his
youngest brother, the Grand Duke Michael
and it was believed that this action was
contemplated on account of the opposition
of the car 10 his marriage with the Prin-
cess AK. 1t was also stated at the time
| that the czarewitch would never marry
But all obstacles to the happiness of the
young couple seem to have been removed
and the betrothal Is made the occasion to-
day OF sincere congratulations upon the
Part Of all the members of royal and i'm
perial families who gathered here in order
to be present yesterday at the marriage of
the Grand Duke Of Hesse to Princess Vic
torfa Melita of SaXe-Coburg- Gotha.
Emperor William of Germany was the
first to communicate the news of the be-
| trothal to Queen Victoria, who expressed
herself as being highly pleased Emperor
William then walked from the ducal schloss
to the Edinburgh palace, accompanied by
| Col. L. V. Swaine, the British military at
tache at Berlin, and communicated the
| news to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Go
| (the Duke of Edinburgh.) The news of the
betrothal had evidently become public, for
a crowd of people followed William to the
Edinburgh palace, cheering heartily for his
| majesty, who is believed to have been
mainly instrumental in bringing about the
betrothal Of the czarewitch to the Princess
Alix when everything looked so black for
the two young people.
Emperor William met Secretary Steven of
the British legation, ard cordially shook
hands with him, beaming with delight as
he informed him of the betrothal. The fact
that Emperor William had the welcome
news before Queen Victoria and the Duke
/ and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha and
| the evident delight of his imperial majesty.
is said to show the Importance which he at
taches to the alliance. All the morning the
Emperor William was in the highest spirits,
dartins here and there, looking In splendid
health.
