STANDARD OIL Co. stock sold in New

something like 40 points within the last
few months. The stock yields in regu-
lar dividends 12 per cent annually, but
within the last 10 months upward of 40
per cent has been paid through the
medium of extra dividends, and this
fact, together with rumors that at the
forthcoming meeting of the directors
an extra dividend of at least 10 per
cent will be declared in addition to the
usual 3 per cent. for the quarter, ac-
counts for the sharp rise in the stock

The Tennessee centennial exposition
at Nashville was opened at noon last
Saturday with appropriate ceremonies
in the presence of many thousands OF
people. The opening ceremonies took
place soon after IL o'clock. After pray
er by Bishop Thomas F. Gailori Presl-
dent J. w. Thomas delivered an ad-
dress. He was followed by Hon. K. L..
Taylor, governor of Tennessee. At the
close of his address, Major E. G. Lewis
director of the exposition, spoke, and
soon after at given signal, the ma
chinery was set in motion by an elec-
trio current turned on by President Nc
Kinley, from the White house
The idea of celebrating the centen
NAL ami versary of the state was first
suggested about six years ago by news
paper communications, but nothing
seemed to grow out of anything that
was then said. The first active steps
were taken by Captain W. c. Smith,
Who in the fall of 1898 began agitating
the matter at the meetings OF various
organizations with which he was con-
nected
: The exposition originally planned
for the fall of 1896, was of necessity
postponed till this year, because of the
growing importance of the exposition,
and the impossibility of getting ready
for really creditable affair.

propriated $50,0O0 and congress after

safe to say that without the strict bust

fully half million more.

cupied most of the first session of the Su-
preme Council of the National Farmers

committee on changes in the constitution
reported in favor of allowing the National
Alliance Aid, now in session at Dallas, Tex.

committee of the Supreme Council or to
become an independent organization under
a charter of it's own. This report was
adopted, and the action of the aid, what
ever it may be, will be ndorsed and the
organization allowed to secede In peace in
the interests of harmony. The step was
not taken however, without deliberation.
This is the first instance in which the two
bodies have met separately, and Is done

amendments to the constitution were adopt
ed. including the striking out OF the pro-
vision fixing the presidents tenure of Office

Reserves Called Out by the Porte
SuItun's Life Threatened.

CONSTANT1NOPEE, Feb. 1.-THE coun-
Gil of ministers, n result OF its all-day
session at Yildiz Kiosk yesterday, has de-
cided to leave the pacifcation of Crete to
the powers. This is regarded as wise de-
cision in the face of a most complicated
situation an Crete, where the flags of Rus
sia. France, Great Britain, Italy and Aus
tria are flying alongside the Turkish stand
ard, while Greece Is seemingly defying the
powers. The ministerial council also decided
to send Karatheodor Pasha 10 Crete as
imperial high commissioner to adopt mill
tary measures on the Greek frontier, as
previously intimated in these dispatches, to
appoint Marshal Edham Pasha. who di-
rected the operations against the insurgents
of Zeitoun in 1886, TO command the Turk
ish troops at Elaszona, and TO call out the
Redifs first reserves) of the third army
corps, which is now at Salonika. These
measures, however, are for purely defensive
purposes and taken in order to enable
the Turkish government to be prepared for
all eventualities. The Sultan has informed
the ambassadors Of the powers that in view
of the aggressive attitude of Greece he has
been obliged To adopt measures required by
the situation. At the same time, the Sultan
took the occasion to express his satisfac-
ton at the landing of the detachments
of marines at Canea from the war ships
of Russia, France. Great Britain, Italy and
Austria for the restoration of order in
Crete.
In spite of this peaceful outlook it is
known that the debarkation of the Greek
forces In Crete caused great sensation at
the lidiz Kiosk, and IL required the use
of much tact on the part of the embas-
Sadors to prevail the porte to accept
the situation as II Is now presented Anti
Turkish manifestations are reported TO
have occurred at Arta and Prevessa. In

ish frontier guard has been wounded. Ii
is hoped. however, that no further trouble
will occur although the Greeks are known

The Sultan seems to be well aware that
as she has done without having at least
one powerful friend behind her and il is
this feature of the complications which is
having the most calming effect upon the
Turks who also see in the abandonment
OF Crete TO Greece d possible ioophOle of
escape from further and much more inn
portant changes in the map OF the Turkish
empire. To the Sultan IL seems TO be the old
story OF its being an i'll wind which blows
nobody good. and he is credited with hop
ing that his obedience to the wishes of
the powerful friend or friends of Greece in
the matter of Crete may be placed TO his
credit. when the long discussed and much
postponed reforms" of the Turkish en-
pire come to the front again. The action
OF Greece may have been nothing more
than coincidence, IL is remarked. but IL is
