ADMIRAL DEWEY and the Olympia
are each undergoing repairs at Hong
Kong, and two weeks of recuperation
will place both in good condition for
their long homeward voyage. If any
thing of that languor which long
tropical residence, amid wearing cares
and heavy responsibilities, has induced,
or is reported to and in the nature of
mortal things would have induced, re-
mains when the Olympia resumes her
course, the upbuilding breezes of the
Mediterranean and the Atlantic may
be trusted to complete his full restora-
ton of strength and vigor. Even in
the physical depression of his first ar
rival at Hong Kong the Admiral has
shown his mental soundness, and his
ability to do to the cause of anti.expan-
sion at home what he did TO Montojo's
feet in Manila bay. He is enthusiastic
on the subject of retaining the Philip
pines; they are the portal to American
commerce in the East; the idea that
any one should have seriously suggest
ed giving them up twill be one of the
curiosities of history" This, and
much more of the same Sort Dewey

FRANCE begins today to do justice to
the poor victim of conspiracy, of false
hood, forgery and passionate race
hatred, who has or years been Ian
gushing in the presidential regions of
Devils Island, off the coast of French
Guiana, South America. If Dreyfus
is innocent, as all the world outside of
interested and prejudiced circles in
Paris believes him to be, may his vim
dication be as full and satisfying as his
conviction was swift and infamous.
Innocent, restitution for terrible wrong
is beyond human power, but Drey-
fus and his family must find in acqut-
tai and restoration to each others So
ciety satisfaction for unspeakable suf-
fering. And this satisfaction to them
will be limitless. What atonement can
the government of France contrive?

New York, April 20.-Today's sto2k mar
ket was rather wanting in incidents Of in
terest. notwithstanding some developments
in the outside situation that were worthy
of serious attention. Among them there
may be cited the halt in the advance in
wheat. which. while not rejecting any re-
ported improvement in crop conditions,
may nevertheless be accepted as an en-
couraging circumstance. There was
further a perceptibiy easier tone in the
money market, particularly in the cali loan
division, where the lowest rates for sew
eral weeks were recorded on considerable
transactions. On the other hand the stsr-
ling exchange market was decidedly
strong. with the rates for sight bills quoted
only about 3-4c below the gold shipping
point. In q general way it was believed
that the operations in anticipation of the
remittance of the Spanish indemnity a.
counted in part for the strength of ster-
ling, but on the other hand an active de-
mand for bills on other accounts was re-
ported. while the supply of commercial and
other bills was very meager.
IL will be noted that apart from the for
eign exchange market the days outside sit
uation was rather favorable to the long
the stock market was lacking in snap and
animation. London was fairly large SELL
er in this market, but as a matter of fact
the stocks in which the pressure from this
quarter was the heaviest, namely, Southern
Railway and Louisville and Nashville, were
among the firmest features of the list,
hence it would appear that the operations
for foreign account were a Ineligible factor.
Other strong features were the anthracite
coal shares, in which the dividend paying
issues attained the highest level reached
in several years. The granger shares as
rule, attained their highest level in the
early dealings. The Pacific shares New
York Central and the other standard issues
were quite neglected. Manhattan Railway
and Brooklyn Rapid Transit again led the
local transportation shares in respect TO
activity. The movements in these stocks
were very erratic and without any new
definite explanation.
The frmness of Southern Railway and
Louisville and Nashville was in part due
to the announcement of the Joint acqusi-
ton by these companies OF the Birming-
ham Southern Railroad. Burlington and
Quincy was actively dealt in in connection
with the announcement of the details of
the new issues of 3 l-2 per cent bonds and

the present stock were equal to about 3 Ia
per cent. in the industrial list the move
men was irregular. The newly introduced

The many stockholders of the Mergen-

and perfected an organization for mutual
protection and for forwarding the interests
of the Linotype Company. The new asso-
citation is to be called the Washington Lin

The Washington stockholders of the COM
pany hold very nearly n third of the entire
capital stock, or about 600 shares out of
the total 100 600 shares. Their holdings at
the present market price are worth nearly
81, GOO, coo, and their dividends are over
| $500 600 yearly. Many of the most prom

the holders, and the number of individual
holders is very large. There were present

The market is broader every day, and al
though up TO yesterday afternoon 1t was
largely professional traders affair. there
are indications that the public is willing
TO buy stocks around present prices. Many
stocks that have been inactive for weeks
have been taken up. and yesterday there
was activity and even buoyancy in some OF
these issues. AS matter of fact, Southern
Railway and Pacific Mail were the features
yesterday. while these stocks, with Louis
vile and Nashville, Tennessee Coal and
Iron, Colorado Fuel and Iron, and American
Cotton oil, have been the best stocks of
the week. These facts suggest that the
future market may not be confined so
largely TO the iDdus;rials, heretofore the
favorites, and they also seem to indicate
fresh buying power which should, accord
ing to all preeedents, result in generally
higher prices. At the same time the buy
ing of the specialties does not abate. when
there is buying Of any kind, and it is the
firm opinion of the best informed people
in the street that these stocks will all be
buoyant during sthe coming months, on
their brilliant earnings and prospects. On
the whole, gradual betterment seems to
be looked for, and a general expansion of
the buying. The professionals may con-
tinue in control for a few days longer, and
may perhaps sell stocks and cause tempor-
ary declines next week, but it is believed
that they should be bought on all such re-
cessions.
