IAD RUSH FOR FORTUNES The Unprecedented Speculative Movement in Wall Street Continues, ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN rremendons Activity In Special Stocks ? Brokers, "Swamped" by Orders, Have to Refuse Business?Something Abou* the Boom and the Immense Fortunei Now Being Made lu Wall Street. New York City. - The Stock Exchange had another day of record smashing on Tuesday. Recorded transactions ran up to the enormous total of over 3,200.000 shares?to be exact, ? - tun*, enn iwi B,-70,Sol?wnicn is more mau uw.ww shares greater than the record established on the day previous, and almost 1,000,000 shares greater than the record previous to that. The clerical forces of the Street are demoralized, the Clearing House is having all-night sessions, banking and brokerage firms have had to seek larger quarters, and mechanical contrivances are at length the last resort of the board room of the big bourse adopted by the over-strained brokers to keep up with the orders of a frenzied and stock-mad public. Wall Street is one big vortex in which the speculative interests of a country whose people have recently been handling more money than was their wont are seething and eddying in a style the hardiest financial veteran cannot explain, and that casts every ordinary maxim to the winds. The orders come from all over the civilized world, some of the big firms buying on account of Russia, France and Germany. Canada felt the contagion thpre was considerable buying for men who live in Ontario and Montreal. One of the significant features of the market, which perhaps was not caught by the outsiders during the tremendous business, was the fact that the bankers put up the rate of interest to six per cent. It has ruled between three and four per cent. It was whispered that 6ome of the great bankers have grown wary, thinking that the market has passed all sanity, and propose, if they can, to repress the fever. The brokers cannot complain that the public is not in the market. Interest in stock speculation to-day Is probably more widespread than it has ever been before. For months there has been more or less of a short interest in the market and the powerful manipulation aided by the public, has driven the bears to grief not once, but many times. As usual there was an absence of news to account for the fluctuations. The question arises: Who Is making all the money in Wall Street to-day? The reply seems to be that every one, pretty much throughout the country la participating in Wall Street's prosperity. ; ever before has speculation In stocks appealed to so many persons. Men are speculating in Wall Street who live as far west as Denver, San Francisco and Seattle. They arrange niiAfotinno via enaninl tripn At* Ik. V JL lUt VJUVlttUUUO ' ?u, 0|V\.ViU4 " V4 receive them at periodic Intervals during the day. Then again, Chicago, with its many important commission houses, tapping by wire the numerous rich and populous cities of the middle [West, is doing an enormous business. Of course in the enormous growth which has resulted in giving Wall Street the unique position that it en|oys as in some respects the first money market of the world, the Stock Exchange has perfected one of the finest monopolies in the world. While Wall Street does not possess the farreaching lines of Lombard Street througnout the world, it is acknowledged to be the money market leader in that it possesses wealth in the form of more gold than any other monetary centre. This growth is reflected on the Stock Exchange by a dazzling increase of business without any corresponding increase of membership. The Stock o n rro cfonrlo of 1 1 llItUiUC101ii|? CkUUUO (U Iiw, as It has for years. A recent proposition to increase the membership forty was adversely decided. Memberships have advanced in a year from $35,000 to $75,000, and if the present business is maintained tney will soon be quoted at $100,000. To say that Stock Exchange members are growing rich is putting it mildly. They are growing wealthy so fast that they have to refuse business. Many young men under thirty-five years are earning money at the rate of $25,000 to $100,000 a year. The great boom brings Into sharp relief the commercial genius of many men. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan stands out as the leader of American finance. A man would be blind, however, who shut his eyes to the great money-mak ers or me west wuu are uecoujiuy per- > manent residents of this city. They have startled conservative Wall Street with the force of their constructive capacity. and are destined to be prominent figures in Wall Street in the year to come. Volumes could be written of recent events. A great many speculators have been sadly deceived by the securities market, and the conservative Wall Street man is practically speechless by the stock market results as measured by prices. Ask him what he thinks of the market and the speculative public, and he will most likely tell you that he has quit thinking about it. Killed Hlmnelf For a Trifle. The six-masted schooner George W.

Court Rebukes the Jnry For Its Action-* Chief Uonohue Says Case Against Crowe Is Weakened. Omaha, Neb.?After considering over night the guilt or Innocence of Jamea Callahan, the jury announced that he was not guilty of complicity in the kidnaping of Edward Cudahy, Jr. The verdict was an evident surprise to the Court, and Judge Baker expressed his disgust in emphatic terms. Callahan was arrested on two other counts, which the State is not now prepared to say will be made use of, as no new evidence Is at hand, and the expense of going over the ground An Mn 10 vuuoiuciai/ic. The jury notified Judge Baker at 9 o'clock a. m. that It had settled upon a verdict, and the news spread among attorneys and interested persons, so that an audience of fifty awaited the twelve men as they filed into the courtroom. Callahan's face was a blank as he watched tlie verdict unfolded and read. As the words "Not guilty" were pronounced, however, Callahan half rose to his feet, his lips parted in a smile, and be turned his eyes gratefully toward the jury. Judge Baker studied the wording of the verdict for several minutes in silence, as if he doubted the evidence of his ears. Then, addressing the jury, he rebuked them in most vigorous terms. "If Callahan had made his own choice of a jury," the Court said, "he lould not have selected twelve men who would have served him more faithfully. If the State for its part had made the selection, I know of no men it could have named who could have been less careful of its interests. The jury is discharged without the compliments of the Court, and the prisoner is likewise turned loose as to this trial, I presume to continue the criminal practices in which you have failed to check him. I do not know what motive actuated you in reaching this decision, but I hope none of you will ever appear again in this jury box." The jury evidently was ill at ease during this arraignment but did not make any response, and filed rapidly from the box as soon as it was at liberty. In the hallway Callahan mumbled his thanks and shook the jurymen's hands. Chief of Police Donohue says he will urge Mr. Cudahy to at once withdraw the proffered reward of $5000 for the apprehension of Pat Crowe. "Crowe might easily make an appearance and claim the reward himself," said Chief Donohue, "as the evidence against him is no more direct than that against Callahan. In my eighteen years of experience with criminals I have never heard more absolutely convincing evidence than that presented against Callahan. There was not a single flaw In the testimony, and the evidence of guilt was overwhelming. "From the information I 'have secured as to the sentiment of the jury, I believe that its decision was based largely on the theory that the victim of the affair was a wealthy man, and as such is able to suffer. Two of the jurors, I am informed, expressed their opinion that no kidnaping had occurred, and they had taken their oath as jurors with this conviction in their minds. "The $50,000 offered for the conviction of the three men concerned in the crime, however, will stand." PLEAD FOR FORMER SULTAN. Turks Agk Aid in Effecting His Release From a Living; Grave. Paris, France.?The French League of the Rights of Man has received a letter from the Ottoman Liberal Committee in Constantinople appealing to the league to take up the propaganda i for the release of former Sultan Mourad. who was deposed on August 31, 1870, on grounds of ill-health and mental incapacity. The committee proceeds, in part, as follows: "The deposed Snltan is undergoing a martyrdom in prison in Tehiragan more cruel than the sufferings of the victim of Devil's Island. He was imprisoned on the pretext of madness. He has not seen a human face, except that of his jailer, for twenty-five years, nor a letter, a newspaper or book. He is not allowed to leave his rooms, and thus is buried in a living grave." The committee urges that, if he is really deranged, he should be treated scientifically. KAISER TO AVENGE SUBJECT.

First Step In the Consolidation of TransAtlantic Shipping Interests.

It is understood that the shareholders will receive ?14 10s. for each ten-pound share. It is learned that the purchase of the Leyland Line is tantamount to its consolidation with the Atlantic Transport Line. For the present the Leyland Line will retain its name and be under the same management, though changes in the directorate are likely to occur shortly. The result of the projected consolidation would be a steamship company with the largest tonnage of any company In the world. ALASKA IN A QUEER FIX.
