MUST DO WITHOUT TIE FOOD.
The Importation of Sea Bird Eggs to San
Francisco StOpped.


The government officials will stop the
importing of sea birds eggs from the Far
allones. The lighthouse board at Wash
ington, which has the fare of the Faral-
lones in charge as a sort of United States
government preserve, has issued "a de-
cree that the traffic in the eggs OF the
sea birds must cease.
The mandate of the lighthouse board
will bring to close a unique industry
of San Francisco The eggs of =. the
murre, or foolish guillemot, have been
shipped to the markets of San Francisco
in great quantities ever since 1S49x at
which date they were almost the only
fresh eggs to be had, bringing 81 dozen.
AS high as 10000 dozen of the eggs
were annually brought to market by the
Greek and Italian fishermen. They are
twice the size of an ordinary hens egg,
for which they are said to be an excellent
substitute, and they sold at retail from
Is cents to 20 cents per dozen.
During the last four or five seasons the
Greeks have been driven off, and the egg
industry has been carried on by the light
house keepers on the Farallones.

Daughter of Senator Hanna Runs Her
own Matrimonial Bureau.
Washington, D. c., March 1O.-Miss
Hanna, daughter of the senator from
Ohio, appears to be a good deal of a
manager herself Senator and Mrs.
Mark Hanna admit that their eldest
daughter is engaged to Mr.. Berry, the
successful young bridge builder of To
Iedo, who has for some little time past
permitted it to be known that he was
Miss Hanna's iance.
Mr. Beery early in the autumn first
approached Senator Hanna for the pur-
pose of formally asking his daughters
hand in marriage. At that time the Sen
ator was too busy with political matters
to give the answer desired by the young
people attention. Again Mr.. Berry APP
preached the senator in the very height
of confusion attendant upon his selec-
ton for the Senate. Again the Senator
stated that he could not give the matter
attention at that time. Then the young
people decided to take the matter in their
own hands and engaged themselves
forthwith
Mrs Hanna says that while she
thought her daughter should have waited
for her fathers formal consent in the
matter. she could not blame her for
taking matters in her own hands as she
had done

ST. LOUIS PEOPLE SCARED.
How a Theatrical Agent Advertised Hi

How a IneAfr1Cal agent AuN0TtAS0u Ills
Tornado" Company.
St. Louis. Mo-. March 10.-A theat-
rical advance agent started a sensation
in ST. Louis by causing cardboards to
be tackled and hung and pasted about
the city wherever his men could find the
space. these cardboards bearing, in fam
ing letter. the words: Bulletin. Warm
ing. "A Tornado is Coming" A large,
black-faced flag like the one used by the
weather bureau was represented on the
card. conveying the idea that the paste
boards were issued officially.
The condition of the weather was
threatening and when the people saw
these advertising cards they became very
much alarmed. Soon the police, the
weather bureau and the newspaper offices
were flooded with telephone and private
messages asking if a tornado was really
predicted.
All through that locality where the
fearful tornado of last May spread so
much death, the terror Of the women es-
pecially was pitiable and many families
took refuge in the cellars and it was not
until the murky clouds began to disap-
pear that they could be persuaded to
leave In the meantime the police were
busy tearing IN the awe-inspiring Dlac-
ards and assuring the people there was
no danger. A cold reception awaits the
Tornado company and it's advance agen1

SOLVE CRETAN PROBLEM.
Believed that an Understanding will
be Reached Soon-Process
Of Coercion.

Constantinople, March lit is be-
lieved here that the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the powers will arrive at
an agreement to permit the Greek troops
to cooperate under Eurnnean officers in
the pacification of the island Of Crete,
after Greece has signified her submis-
sion to the ultimatum of the powers.
London, March 1.-THE stock ex-
change continues very firm. Consols
and foreign securities are very strong
on the evidence. in spite Of rumors to
the contrary, that the powers are. abso-
lutely united on the Graeco-Cretan ques-
ton Even the Graecophites are weary
ing of the obstinacy of the Hellenes and
are disguised with the perfidy of the
Greek commodore, Reineck, since re-
called. who it now appears assumed the
responsibility Of suppressing the joint re-
monstrance Of Europe which he had I'M
dertaken to make known to the insur-
gents.
The foreign admirals, at q conference
with the insurgent leaders at Akrotiri
yesterday also learned that Commodore
Reineck never impaired to the lnsur-
gents the proclamation of the admirals
forbidding them to attack the towns, al
though be had accepted a commission
to do so.
1t is thought possible that some con
cession will be made to Greece, but only
after that country has made complete
submission to the demands of the pow
erS.
There are signs that Greece is anxious
the powers should apply seeming pres
sure upon her in order to give the Greek
government an excuse to retire from an
impossible position.
Berlin, March 1.-THE National lei
tung semi-officially announces today that
Germany will not take part in any nego-
tiations suggesting another note to
Greece, adding that Germany insists up
on holding the original ultimatum.
Canea, Crete, March 11.-Turkish
transports arrived here today having on
board the refugees from Selino.

PRESIDENT CRESPO'S MESSAGE.
In Difference to the United States He En-.
dorses Venezuelan Treaty.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
text of the message to the Venezuelan
congress of President Crespo which has
Just reached this country shows that the
subject Of the boundary controversy was
treated at great length. as befitted it's inn
portance For ono thing it was made
clear that Venezuela knew officially moth
ing of the arrangements made between
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote for the submission Of the boundary
question to arbitration until the whole
matter had been closed up.
1t is evident that the Venezuelan presi-
dent did not like this method Of arrang-
ing the affairs Of his country without
consultation with him, for his message
shows that he was not altogether dis
posed to accept the arrangement. How
ever. in Difference to the kindly interest
shown by the United States in this mat
fer. he endorsed the treaty and pressed
it upon the attention of the Venezuelan
congress to the exclusion of all other
business
