Potomac River Popular
For Visiting Sightseers

The Potomac is coming into its own
as a river affording travellers scenes of
beauty and sights of historic interest.
People resident in and visiting Wash
ington are beginning to realize that the
Potomac, from its head of navigation
at Arlington, to Wakefield and Piney
Point. where it flows into Chesapeake
bay, is a stream remarkable as a har-
Dor of expanse and depth and as a
picturesque waterway.
The steamer service afforded by the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company, whose vessels leave Washing
ton daily at Gas p. m, and arrive al
Old Point Comfort at $50 the next
morning, is doing much to make the
Potomac popular with sightseers.

STOCKS SHOW SPLENDID STRENGTH
IN A THIRD HOUR RALLY.
SENTIMENT BULLISH.

I the business outlook, that they hope for
a partial victory from the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
the matter of rates, and that the fl
nancial world has formed the conclu-
sion that the disastrous upheaval from
the trust decisions is not to be expected.
The stocks sold on the reaction were
well taken, though when indications fav-
ored concessions buyers waited for the
opportunity, being naturally inclined TO
get them as cheaply as possible.
While the leaders were all inclined to
ease off, Copper. Smelling, lead, Cot
ton Oil, Denver, Great Northern, and a
few others acted well and scored good
net gains.
Among the weaklings was Northern
Pacific, for days one of the strongest
on the list, but naturally enough eX-
citing thereby the attention of holders
who have carried it down from higher
levels, and oil others who acquired the
stock much lower. Northern Pacific
dropped from 12S to 1884, with Great
Northern making a sharp rise only to
come back with the rest of the list.
The slump encouraged some of the
bears to take chance on their faVorite
side 0f the market. but there was a
complete change of sentiment in the
latter part of the noon hour and during
the second hour of the afternoon. Buy
ing was resumed all around the room,
and the character of the orders gave
confidence to the trailers that it was
by important interests.
Not only were the losses recovered
very generally. but among the leaders
many new high records were made.

NEW YORK, Feb. AFTER making
another good start and with substantial
advances following the opening, the
market turned the other way, into a
natural reactionary trend, especially on
the stocks that have been so much to
the fore in the last few days of active
trading operations. Sentiment was still
favorably inclined and many commits
sion houses were sending out advice to
buy stocks on all reactions.
The short interest has been greatly re-
duced through the covering process
caused by the scare thrown into the
bears by the strength of the list.
The liquidation in evidence this morn
ing ought not to be taken as short
selling, but rather as a natural taking
OF profits that have accumulated to
tempting propositions and the room
traders turned them to bank accounts
with rapidity. 1t is also probable that
there was more or less judicious distri-
button of long stock by parties who
have been waiting for an opportunity to
get out at profit.
Customers rooms in the various brok-
erage offices were crowded as they have
not been for many weeks. The. attend
ance always increases when the market
has developed a strong trend, but as the
public is only nibbling yet, a further eX-
tention of the advance might result in
large purchases for their account

Why President Favored
San Francisco for Fair

The secret of the Presidents advo-
cacy of San Francisco for the Panama
exposition came out today. 1t was
learned that the Executive had taken
sides because he hoped that by holding
the exposition in the Western city, a
more friendly feeling might be cuIti-
waited with the japanese.
These explanations were heard at the
White House today after Representa-
tive Kahn of California had called to
extend TO Mr.. Taft the thanks of the
people of San Francisco for the warm
support and sympathy which he had
given them in the fight before the
House.
Mr.. Kahn himself said that the action
Of the House in voting in favor of San
Francisco had done more than anything
TO encourage a friendly feeling among
the Oriental people who live on the
Pacific coast, and those who live in the
Orient itself.

Young Turks Plan Great
Military Demonstration

LONDON, Feb. Am unprecedented
foreign military movement by the
Young Turks to check the growing do
mestic discomfort is indicated in today's
dispatches from Salonika. These dis
patches say that the Young Turks have
decided to mobilize 100000 reserves, in
addition to the present standing army
of 1000
While It was known that Turkey was
threatened from many sides, her danger
has not been thought sufficiently immi-
nent to demand such an enormous
demonstration. Italy, Russia, Greece,
and Bulgaria are believed to be the pos
sible adversaries of Turkey. The de-
cision of the Young Turks practically
amounts to a movement by the govern
ment itself, as the Young Turks are in
complete control.
