The advance of Importance during the
week was made in Mergenthaler Linotype
stock, and by far the heaviest dealings
were in this security. 1t was noticeable
that people who sold Mergenthaler q few
weeks ago when the annual statement was
made public were among the buyers. Some
of this buying represented the covering of
small short sales but it is said that there
was good investment buying as we'll The
statement of the present condition of the
Mergenthaler Company, published in The
Times yesterday reflects the cause of the
renewed strength of the stock. Investors
have begun TO learn that there was nothing
in the annual report of the company to
cause uneasiness or lack Of faith on the
part of any stockholder. The figures given
in The Times were read with much in

Ine Hgures OF me statemeGt were a sur
prise 10 The entire financial world There
had been the expectation OF an excellent
statement because II was known that the
Government had bought during die week
81. .000, GOO in bonds but the most liberal
estimate as 10 the extent to which the
banks would profit by this influx of money
was far short Of the reality As was state I
in this column yesterday, one careful esti-
mate was that the increase IN the reserve
would be from $4,000 600 10 s.. 900 0G0 The
actual figures were nearly $1,000 GOO This
places the surplus reserve over the mini
mum about SEQ coo. and leaves the banks
in far better position. The gain in the

increase in cash is S7.244500.

Capital Traction has declined fractionally
during the week. 1t was sold yesterday as
low as 90 1-2, though not in very large
amounts The earnings Of the company
and the outlook for an increased dividend
are not such as to cause the sale of invest

decline represents to certain extent at
least speculative manipulation. Ii may be
stated on the authority OF a director OF the
company that the dividend viii be in
creased TO 4 per cent in April. This in
crease will be made at about the same time
as the issuance of the $1,000, coo OF new
bonds by the company.

course OF the Baltimore and Ohio securities
this week The immense advances made
by both the preferred and the common
stocks last week, representing an advance
in the value of the capital stock of nearly
SO. 600 coo, was much more rapid and much
larger than had been generally expected.

that the present prices Of the securities are
higher than is warranted by even the ex-

Big Fellow Is Counted Out in the Sixth
Round.
New YORK, Sept. 2O.-Kid Mccoy
had little difficulty in getting away
with Steve O'Donnell in the area of the
Broadway Athletic club. In spite of
O'Donnell's IS advantages of height, reach
and weight, Mccoy went to him grad
ually without taking any careless iber-
ties and soon had his big adversary in
trouble.
O'Donnell never landed a good blow
on Mccoy, while the Kid was gaining
ground i'll each succeeding round His
left was always getting to the face,
head or stomach and O'Donnen was
puzzled. He staggered frequently and
in the sixth round went down from a
left swing. He remained down as long
as the rules allowed, but it was all up
with the big fellow. Mccoy went after
him with swinging lefts and rights and
soon foored him with another hard left
swing, from the effects of which he was
unable to recover until counted out.
Steve had to be assisted to his feet by
the referee, while Mccoy walked to
his corner smiling and without a mark.

TRANSPORT TARTAR SAILS.

Port Officer of Hong Kong Takes Hint
from British Foreign Office.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Clearance
papers have been allowed the Tartar at
Hong Kong. 1t is expected that it will
proceed to the United States at once.
The information that the clearance had
been allowed came in dispatch to Ad-
jutant General Corbin from Colonel
Metcalf, commanding the Twentieth
Kansas and the troops aboard the trans
port.
1t is supposed that clearance papers
were allowed upon the suggestion of
the British foreign Office to the British
governor at Hong Kong that it would
be unwise to interfere with American
transports.
Another dispatch from Colonel Met
calf states that the Tartar was no more
overcrowded and that the food was as
good as on other transports leaving
Manila. He said the trouble arose
among the discharged regular soldiers
who We're returning home on board the
ship.
HONG KosG, Sept. 15.-The transport
Tartar sailed today with its full comp.e-
ment of troops, clearance having been
allowed by the British governor.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1s.-Charles A.
Pillsbury, the well known miller, died
in this city last evening. On account
of poor health Mr.. Pillsbury went to
Europe Dec. 1, 1898, and returned the
middle Of June. The physicians agreed
that he was suffering from heart trou-
bic caused by an enlargement of the
stomach, which, in turn, was due to
overwork and insufficient physical ex-
ercise. After reaching home he gradu-
ally improved and seemed to be in a
fair way to totally recover his health.
A week ago he took trip to southern
Minnesota, but on his return he suf-
fered from nausea. Since his return
from his European trip he has been de-
voting but about two hours day to
business. He remained at home nearly
all day Saturday. During Saturday
night he complained of great pain and
physicians were summoned They re-
mained with him through the night
and until short time before Mr.. Pills
bury died. He was conscious to the
end and talked to his wife and friends
who were in the room

CARTERvILLE. Ills, Sept. 2O.-Mat-

goodly number of miners were at work,

small crowd in the streets all day. The
coroner's jury is still in session and may
be for two or three days yet. The jury
men say they are fully determined to
sift the matter to the bottom and shield
no one. Company B Of Newton arrived

and one of the other companies in a
week or so. Deputy Sheriff Odum of
Marion arrived in the city last evening

improve any. Both sides are just as
determined as they were before the

will not give in and the union miners
say that he will have to.

to the calling of such convention, /

ment in the different states and
territories of the Union to
forward to me the names of such
men in their state or territory as they
may think are best fitted for the office
of national vice president Of their re-
spective state or territory. I now ask
every worker in the cause to call four or
more Of his friends or neighbors to-
gether who are opposed to the encroach-
ment of corporate power upon the
rights of the people and organize an
American antitrust league in his town

Garrison in Fort Chabrol NIeekly Gives In
Without Show OF Resistance.
PARIS, Sept. 20.-At midnight Lucien
Millevoie, one of the deputies for the
department. of the Seine, accompanied
by the brother of Jules Guerin, the
anti-Semite agitator. entered the Grand
Occident, the building in the Rue de
Chabrol where Cue il and his compan-
ions have long been besieged. About
the same time the soldiers who had been
harding the approaches were with
drawn and replaced by troops fully
equipped, as if for field service.
M. Millevoie and the brother of the
agitator left the building an hour later.
While they were within a rumor cir
culated swiftly that Guerin had de-
cided to surrender, but this proved to
be without foundation. NJ Millevoie's
mission was failure. It is said that
he strongly urged Guerin to surrender,
but that the latter imposed impossible
conditions.
At 4 o'clock this morning M. Guerin
promised to surrender. Precisely at the
hour appointed captain Of the Munich
pal guards raped at the door of Fort
Chabrol. There was moment of ex-
pectation and then the door opened. M.
Guerin calmly presented himself, meek
ly surrendered and was driven to the
police depot in an open cab, seated be-
side the captain Of the guards. His
companions were allowed to go free.
Thus the six weeks siege ended in sub
timely ridiculous style. The plan was
to attack the building and arrest Guerin
and his band. The government had
given him until 4 o'clock this morning
to surrender and had a regular army to
assault the fort if he refused. Troops,
municipal guards, mounted and on
foot, and policemen to the number of
nearly 1000 We're dispatched to Gordon
all the streets within radius of quar-.
ter of mile of Fort Chabrol.

PARIS, Sept. 20.-The council of min
listers decided yesterday to pardon
/ Dreyfus in principle. The pardon will
take effect in a few days. Dreyfus has
relnquished his appeal for reversal of
the Judgment of the court-martial.
President Loubet later in the day
signed the pardon.
1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his
pardon, in order to avoid demonstra-
tions.
The decision Of the cabinet to pardon
Dreyfus created less interest in Paris
than would the result of big horse
race. In fact, it may be said it caused
no excitement whatever. There was
no rioting on the boulevards. In front
of the offices of the Libre Parole, where
crowd usually assemblies in the even
ing to gaze upon the huge colored trans
parencies outside the windows of the
leading anti-Semite organ, there was
not the slightest gathering or the faint
est sign of demonstration, either for or
against Dreyfus.
One would think that the fire of the
Dreyfus agitation had burned itself out
The -Dreyfusard evening papers
tried to infuse life into the government s

Declares Firm Intention OF 1ransvaa.
Stand hY Terms of 1904

.
PRETORIA, Sept lS.-The reply of the
public to the latest dispatch, dated Sept.
10, of the British secretary Of state for
the colonies, in part is as follows:
''The government deeply regrets the
withdrawal, as the government under
stands it, Of the invitation contained in
the British dispatch of Aug. % and the
substitution in place thereof of an en-
tirely new proposal. This government
had by no means an intention to raise
again needlessly the question of its po-
litical status, but acted with the sole
object of erdeavoring by the aid of the
local British agent to put an end to the
strained condition of affairs.
''This was done in the shape of a
proposal which this government deems,
both as regards it's spirit and form, to
be SO worded as relying upon intima-
tions to this government, would satisfy
her majesty's government. This gov
ernment saw a difficulty as to the ac-
ceptance of those proposals by the people
and legislature Of the Transvaal and
also contemplated possible dangers con-
nected Herewith, but risked making
them on account of sincere desire to
secure peace and because assured by
Mr.. Chamberlain that such proposals
would not be deemed refusal of his
proposals, but would be settled on their
merits.
GAS regards the joint commission,
the Transvaal adheres to the acceptance
Of the invitation thereunto given by
her majesty's government and cannot
understand why such commission.
which before was deemed necessary to
explain the complicated details of the
seven years. law should now be deemed
unnecessary and why it should now,
without much inquiry be thought pos
sible to declare this law inadequate.
sThe proposed conference, as opposed
to the joint commission of inquiry, this
government is likewise not unwilling
to enter upon, but the difficulty is that
an acceptance thereof is made depend
ent upon the acceptance, on the side of
the Transvaal, Of precedent conditions
which this government does not feel at
liberty to submit to the volksraad; and,
moreover, the subjects to be discussed
at the conference remain underlined.
"This government ardently desires
and gladly accepts arbitration, as it's
firm intention is to adhere to the terms
of the London convention Of 1894"
Amicable Understanding Still Possible.
PRETORIA, Sept. 20.-The reply of
the government to the latest British
note is variously commented upon, but
the Pretoria Press and other papers
profess to believe that joint commits.
sion will yet be held and that there is
still possibility of an understanding
being reached.

of bricklayers and stonemasons en-
ployed on the new federal building was
ordered yesterday. The foundation for

tival in October, was built last Sunday.
The work was done by union masons,
but under subcontract from John r..
Pierce, who has the contract for the
stone work of the federal building. Few
men Ire affected, but unless the strike
is Sc, tied it will probably prevent the
