EXPECT STRIKE SETLLEMENT Evidences That Only .Parti.1l Shut Down Has Been Accomplished? Railroads Give Assurances of Big Stocks on Hand. (Ry Associated Prcaa.) NI5W YORK. April 2.?The action of today's stock market was accepted as a demonstration of confidence r.n Hie part of the speculative element in the strength of their position. ? That positioti was maintained today and prices advanced briskly with more show of breadth and animation in the trading than at any time since the movement began. The money o.arkot showed relaxa? tion as was expected, the; call loan rate being at the fi per cent, level from the opening excep'. for a lath flurry to 10 per cent, when tin day'j borrowing was mostly completed. The comparatively good couJltlou as to money was the result of heavy dis? bursements of dividends and interest, paid by the banks, and the payment jr some $2,000,000 of govcrnmen*. inter? est. Timo loans were quoted at 5 per cent, for all dates. There is a sangufce expectation In the financial district that the differ? ences In the anthracite industry will bo promptly adjusted. Evidence tint only a partial shut down has been ef? fected of soft coal production took fho edge off the apprehension over the consequences. Itailroad officials were reported as giving assurances of larg<: supplies of fuel on hand both for the rail toads and manufaturing indus? tries. The weakness of Consolidated Gas unsettled the market temporarily but the late flurry to 10 per cent. In the money rate was practcally moored as it was not represenlive of the actual conditions in the market. Th> mar? ket was strong and active, at the close. Bonds were slightly Irregular.

April 2.?Tho Earl of Ronnldshny, author of several books of travel and formerly an nlde-do enmp to Lord Curzbn, who resigned as Viceroy of India recently, has dis? covered, he thinks, why so many Americans live abroad. Tho earl, who is here on his way to .Tapan and Manchuria on an industrial investiga? tion mission, said yesterday at the Hotel Nethcrlaud: "In tho course of much traveling in Europe I met many Americans, and 1 confess I often wondered why so many of 4.hem lived abroad and what they did tho re?I mean, of course, not. those who were simply spinning around the tourist traek. but those who had gone with all their domestic incumbninccts, to become. S. for sonic years at least.bonn-l'ide res? idents or Lhc Old World. '.'There are two distinctly different classes of Americans living in Europe -native born citizens and naturalized citizens. There are many instances in proof of why the naturalized citizen lives abroad. Having come to this country for the twofold purpose of making money and avoiding bis irksome mili? tary service In Europe, and hnviug ac? complished ImuIi ends, lie returns to Europe to lie, for the simple reason that he likes It belter and can live mere cheaply and under conditions that arc to him more congenhil. "As for tlx: native horn citizen, I once asked a witty, American woman who lind lived on the Continent- why so many of her country people choose to live in liurope, and she replied: "Because they can't gel along at home." Hut my observations convince rile that there arc three chief reasons why Americans live abroad?1 mean particularly (.hose who live on the Continent. "The first and most important, rea? son of all is Tor effecting the pri? mary education of tlticir children in the Continental schools, where they may learn one and perhaps two of the Continental languages. The second is for the purpose of practicing econ? omy. The third the Inherit desire lo enlarge their scope of knowledge and observation.'' A Valet Was Meant. Yasujiro Ishikawa. the Japanese journalist, was recently complimented on bis nation's wonderful adabtlity, its wonderful assimilation of foreign customs, manners and ways of thought; "Yes." the journalist, agreed, "a Japanese, wherever he may go, can soon learn to conduct himself like a( native. In that lie is like the Ameri? cans and unlike the English. The English diplomat once told me of a simple-minded curate who was Invited up to London to spend a week at a great house. "The curate. ignorant of high so? ciety, fearful of making mistakes, call? ed on the diplomat and asked for guidance. "The diplomat told him bow he should conduct himself durlug bis I stay In the great Condon house and I ended with the words: " I think, too, you had better lake a servant with you.' " 'I will,' said the curate, and In duo time the poor fellow arrived at the residence of his host with some I modest luggage and a housemaid." .Veil?I permitted him to kiss me oil condition that he wouldn't men? tion it. to anyone.
