Watering OH stock

New York. April 2O.-The Journal
and Advertiser says:
The Standard Oil Company will de-
cleare n dividend about May 1st of
twenty per cent. on its capital OF
S1OO,OOO.O00. At the same time the
plan will probably be adopted of in
creasing the capital stock of the com
pany from S1OO.OOO.OOO to S4OO.OOO, 900.
The increase of the capital stock will
be. in reality, an adjustment. Four
shares OF the new stock will be given
in exchange for one of the old. The
stock is quoted as present at its top
figure. sos, so that share of the new
stock will be worth in the market ap-
proximately $500.

New York, April 19.-The New York
Journal says:
The week ended Saturday was the
most remarkable in the history of the
New York Stock Exchange. and

the Clouds"
Fortunes as great as any gathered
by old-time milfionaires in lifetime
have been snatched up in few
months; and since January LIST twenty
men have won sums that would buy
cities.
New York has become at last the
financial center Of the world, with J.
Picrpont Morgan rs its king.
Some figures, notably those in bank
clearances, are well nigh inconceiv-
able, but some notion of the gigantic
scale of Wall street doings these days
may be gathered from the statement
that one bank. the National City Bank,
the pet of the Rockefellcrs, sent $780,
100000 In checks to the clearing
house in one day, which was approx
mately twice the size of the clear

record was made this year, on January

New York alone were greater during
this week than the total clearings of
the entire United States in any week
Of any previous year
Stock sales for the week also

stock market is the cynosure of all

tive estimate of what j. Pierpont

the attempted assassination of the

WAR ON ANARCHISTS.
Washington Officials Said to Be Work
inc on Plot Theory.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special to
the Tribune from Washington saws
There is good reason for saying that the
arrest of Emma Goldman in Chicago and
of Maggie in the far-off Territory of
New Mexico foresbadows a movement
that virtually has been decided upon by
the Federal Government looking TO a most
searching INVESTIGATION of the theory that
the murderous assault on the President
was the result of an anarchist plot.
Attorney-General Knox, Solicitor-Gen-
eral Richards. and other officials of the
Department of Justice. deny that they
are working on the belief that Czolgosz
was the agent of organized anarchists
who plotted to take the Presidents life.
At the same time. it is interesting to OBJ
serve that almost coincident with the re-
turn of Attorney General Knox TO Wash
lRgton from the bedside of the wounded
President the arrests mentioned were
made, when at any time in the last forty
eight hours the persons now wriggling in
the strong clutch of the law Gould have
been arrested.

week Is over.
Another point which was settled to-
day by the prosecuting officials Is the
fact that President Mckinley need not
be In Buffalo during the examination
OF prisoners either before the COM
hitting magistrate or Grand jury at
the trial. There ars enough wItaes<-
es AID medical testimony to establish
the crime without the President, who
would otherwise be the chief CON-
plainant, being present.
Released Men shsdcwed.s
According TO the police of Buffalo,
Stutz and Walter Nowalk have been
released from custody, no evidence
having been addnced that was strong
enough TO warrant their being held.
It is true that Stutz has been releas-
ed. but on the authority of Superin-
tendent Bull il can be said that ne
can be arrested again at a moments
notice. He may be OF more service
free than in jail He is being closely
shadowed and may lead the police
to others who are wanted Walter
Nowak is said to have gone to Chr

quarters direct to the railroad station,
where he took a train for Chicago. A
secret service agent went with him,
or, at least. was in the same car with
him the entire distanA from Buff

employment as a cigarmaker in Chi

be made use of by secret service
