A Common Sense View of the
Present Situation.
The Closing Up Of the Company Would
Be a Misfortune.
Feasible Plan Suggested TO Relieve
the Existing Difficulty.

The hesitation on part of some OF the
conservative stockholders OF the Kent d
Stanley Company "to put their hands in
their pockets" to help along the cause, for
fear Of some OF the smaller fry benefit
ing thereby, is causing considerable
comment, especially among creditors.
In consequence, reports are coming
along every week of fresh liens brought
by timorous firms, who say that IL stock
holders and committee meetings, FREE
quently held, with the Boston magnate,
f. &. Huxley, at the hahn, cannot serve to
bring about a compromise, we may as
we'll get in before the company assigns"
One Of the persons most interested In
the company's affairs today says: 81 don't
see why some move is not made at once,
by adopting one OF the numerous plans
the business. OF course. one trouble
H., there are too many plans, but
the real hitch comes when those fellows
who have the stuff are asked
to subscribe the necessary amount
to pull the Kent & Stanley Company
'out OF the hole.' Now it is not right to
state that in any event 100000, or there
abouts, will be needed to carry the thing
along, neither will it be necessary nor
right for those who are holding off to
| want all the benefits for themselves,
thereby shutting out the poorer stock
holders.
"There is one plan which is agreeable to
h. ;,,t han a..
ors, as 1 will guarantee, to all the small
stockholders and to a handful of the big
ones, who have told me they would really
assent to 1t. IL is this, briefly: Reduce
the capital stock s250,0o0, then
issue the same amount of preferred
stock, giving the creditors 40 per cent.
and leaving about $50 900 to work on. The
| Enterprise building would find a ready
sale, and in fact there has been good
offer for it already. Creditors would
gladly grant an extension Of from one to
two years, and / know the banks which
handle the paper will take hold with a
will"
| "The Kent & Stanley Company has done
an elegant business, one year recently do
ing about 1916, 900 worth, and is safe to
count on from $780, 900 to $3.50, 900 business
yearly. Are we going to see such an in
dustry leave our State? i should hope
not. know from personal observation
that the business has always
been conducted in conser-
vative and careful manner. And
know, too, that 200 hands or more have
been employed by the company and II an
assignment is made it means that those
people must go elsewhere for living and
that will adversely influence the business
of our butchers and bakers, besides vio-
lauing public confidence and trust gene

TEN THOUSAND DOGS.
This Is the Season to Pay Their
Licenses.
Aurry Chevers' Thoroughbred Heads
the List-L. Sayles' White Terriers.

About this time of year the owners of
dogs begin to think about making visit
TO Stephen s. Blanding at the city hall,
and give him s1.15 or s5.15 as the case may
be. The prudent ones call this month, as
they can have the license date from April
1, which is the commencement of the
"dog year" aud during that month
it is expected that not less
than 5000 of nearly 5000 CANNES will be
registered by Mr.. Blanding. For during
the month of April the price is the same,
but on and after May 1 another dollar is
added to the bill. Chief Child is now
busy affixing his signature to the
licenses, having not less than 10000 to
prepare. OF the 5000 dogs that were
given permission to roam the streets of
the city at their own will, 1t is calculated
that at least 1900 have died, been stolen,
sold, or in various ways been disposed of,
and about that many new numbers have
been prepared by Mr.. Blanding.
One peculiar feature of the present dog
law is that should q citizen come into
possession of litter of puppies during
month OF April he must pay license for
each of them, but any other month he is
given 80 days, which gives him time to sell
or dispose OF them as he deems best.
In looking over the books of Mr.. Bland
ing 1t is found that Deputy City Clerk
Aurion V. Chevers pays for license No. 1,
and has done so since 1883. This number
was first given to Walter g. Webster,
which was in 1869, and he held it until
1874, each year. From 1870 to 1894,
Lycurgus Saylos paid s1.15 for
white terrier, which undoubtedly
is the longest record Of any dog in the
city. Last year Mr.. Sayles did not take
out license, so it is presumed that the
"pet OF the family" passed away, and no
dog has been found to take his place.
The last two days OF this month the Office
will be open until 9 o'clock for the bene-
At of dog owners, but is hoped by the
officials that all owners will not wait
until the last day. The receipts for last
year were so, ,3s925.

IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
premier whiteway Explains It From His
Own Point OF View.


LONDON, March 4.-Sir William White
way complains Of the Misrepresentation
IN regard TO Newfoundlands finances
mode I'm the English press. Ho declares
that the decline in the revenues In jan
uary and February were attributable TO
causes other than the financial crisis, such
as reduced purchasing power. owing to the
Limitation OF the markets for exports
This, ho says, would have been materi-
ally averted had the imperial government
ratified the Bond Blaine convention,
which he considered il was morally bound
20 do, since it had authorized further nego-
tiations. The absence of the United States
markets for Newfoundland's exports and
the complications arising from the I'M
perial recognition of the French fishery
claims contributed largely TO the crisis
"The spirit of the Newfoundland peo-
pie is apparently little understood" says
the premier. II believe they would starve
rather than surrender their indcpend-
ence"
After referring to the fact that tho gov
ernment has not responded to Newfound-
lands request that it guarantee the inter
est on its debt In order to tide the colony
over its difficulties, Sir William concludes
by stating that IL the colonists must still
trust to their inherent pluck and the re-
sources OF the country, they must only
passively submit, although they may moro
bitterly feel, their heartless treatment by
the imperial government.
