THE SPANISH TREATY.
Secretary Blaine Will Not Give 1t Out Un
til the President Returns.


WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Spanish
sioner Foster at Madrid is in the hands
of Secretary of State Blaine. Mr.. Foster,
who arrived here yesterday, called at
Secretary Blaine's house shortly before
noon, and with him went carefully over
the proposed agreement.
Secretary Blaine, however, said that he
could say nothing whatever on the sub
ject of the treaty, which is of such ma
ture as to preclude publication until the
President shall have had look at it. He
also declined to state whether or not the
document was treaty or an agreement
under the recent tariff law.
This is an important point to be deter
mined, inasmuch as treaty would have
to go to the Senate for ratification and
would, therefore, run the chances of re-
lection, whereas tariff agreement, such
as those that have been made with the
South American countries, can be put
into operation at once by means of a
proclamation by the President.
1t is generally thought that it is an
agreement Of this sort since this form of
international arrangement has all the
effect of formal treaty with none of its
disadvantages. It might also be noted
that the only imports into the United
| States that can be affected by an agree
ment under the tariff act are hides, sugar,
tea and coffee. 1t is understood that
Spain made a strong effort with Commits
sioner Foster to secure the extension OF
the reciprocity privileges to tobacco, but
he was compelled to refuse under the
terms of the act, which includes only
the staples named above.
Tobacco could have been included IN
the agreement, to be sure, but this would
have made the act a treaty, subject tc
ratification or rejection by the Senate
with the probabilities largely on the side
Of the latter. 1t is believed that Mr.. Eos
ter's preliminary report, largely verbal
was highly satisfactory to Secretary

who embezzled $4,000 from the Lam
cashire Insurance Company and fled to
Switzerland, has just been sentenced to
nine years. imprisonment by Judge
MARITIME in Part of the Court of General

Meaning of His Possible appointment as

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Dispatches re-
ceived in this city quote Commander-in-
Chief Veasey of the Grand Army of the
Republic as predicting the succession to
Senator Edmunds of Secretary Proctor
and the award of the war portfolio to
Gen. Russell A. Alger.
Should the programme outlined be full
filled friends of the Michigan veteran say
he will be compelled to abandon any
aspirations he may have of securing the
Republican Presidential nomination next
year.
Should General Alger become Secretary
of War, the inference drawn by his sup
porters and opponents alike would be
that he as we'll as Mr.. Blaine regards the

THE PEACH CROP INJURED.
The Yield VIII Not BE One-Third What
Was Anticipated.

The Yield VIII Not BE One-Thtrd what
Was Anticipated.
MILFORD. Del, May ,2-The prospect
for an abundant crop of peaches, which
was so acknowledgement month ago,
cannot ba verified. 1t is now feared that
the prevailing frosts of the past few
weeks have done their work.
and that the yield will not be one
third of what it was at first anticipated.
The young trees have suffered more than
the old ones and it is from the latter that
there is still a hope of marketing por.
ton of a crop.
The same state of affairs exists in
lower Kent and Sussex Counties while in
upper Kent and lower Kent and New
Castle there will be good yield. Reports
from Maryland and the upper part of the
State show that the prospects are good
and the yield will be a large one. The poor
crop of this year, coupled with the failure
of the past few years, will have a tenden-
cy to greatly depress the farmers of this
part of the State, as great many Of
them depend principally on the peach for
their source of revenue.

Professor Munro, of Queens college,
England, has something to say concerning
the economic effects of an eight-hour day.
The argument against the eight-hour day
in England is, according to Professor
Munro, that it will raise prices to the home
consumer, that it will reduce wages and
profits, and that it will injure English for
eign trade. If these claims were sustained
it would be obvious that the condition of
the wage earners under the eight-hour day
would be worse than it is at the present
time, for the demand for the product of
their work would so far decrease, in con-
sequence of advanced prices, that eight
hours per diem would much more than
compass the opportunities for labor
that would be offered, and this,
too, with the rates of wages greatly
below the standard now prevailing.
But Professor Munro shows that the reduc
tions that are constantly going on in the
hours of labor in England are not attended
with loss of foreign trade or by reduc-
tions in wages or profits. In 1890 the out
puI VI COIL III EuSlduu "hS uOIc GudI lou,
000,0 tons, and of this more than 80,
100000 tons were exported. This fuel
was sent, to a considerable extent, to France
and Germany, the two countries on the
continent of Europe that possess extensive
coal fields of their own. The wages paid
to the coal miners in England are con-
siderably higher than those given on
the continent; and, more than this,
while the average working time of coal
miners in England is less than fifty hours
per week, in France and Germany the av-
erage time of work is from ffty-four to
ffty-six hours per week. But, in spite of
lower pay and longer hours. the produc-
ton of coal is cheaper in England than ii
is in France or Germany, for while these
two countries could not send coal to Eng
land, England sent last year to France
more than 5000, 600 tons, and to Germany
more than three and a quarter millions
tons.
This showing will much encourage the
advocates of the eioht-hour day.

Mrs. JOHNSON,S FATLURE.

One little event that didn't happen on
Christmas day at 5 p. m. has been almost
overlooked. This is the "end of the
world" which was carefully and persist
emily predicted by Mrs. Charles T. John
son, of Wyandotte, Kansas. She appar-
emily had faith in her own prediction and
she attracted several hundred other be-
levers by the confidence and defniteness
of her assertion. There are great many
people who are always looking
for the end of the world,
and who know something about
the "times" and "half times" that figure
in the calculations of the world-enders.
And when anybody comes along who
really knows exactly when the world will
cease to do business he or she can always
get followers. Mrs. johnson had no trouble
about that, but she is having trouble in
trying to explain to herself how it hap
pened that her prediction didn't work
She has locked the door of her house and
steadfastly refuses to talk with anybody.
When she has convinced herself that there
was some mistake in her figuring she will
probably come forth and explain things,
The world-enders will flourish between
now and 1900. We suppose that their
figuring is quite correct. At least, there
are few who can dispute it. According to
this figuring the end is not far distant.
But as none of us can put it off if it
should come, and as there is still room for
doubt that it will come, there is no sense
in undue anxiety over the matter.
