 II seems that California will have to begin another war of extern,ina+ion against the coyote The rancbmen sheep herders and small farmers who live along the foothills in places remote from towns in central and southern California are complaining that the CO., votes are once more increasing and causing destruction among fiocks and poultry. It Is reckoned that damage to the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars has been done by coyotes in Cal ifornia in the last year. The local newspapers are beginning to urge the re-enactment of the law of 1891, giving a bounty of five dollars for every CO., vote killed. For four years the coyote was hunted as vermin in this state, and cost the California taxpayers more than three hundred thousand dollars. Then detectives showed how coyotes were be- ing propagated in the Nevada and Ari- zona mountains for the sake of the bounty, and the law was repealed. How many wild coyotes were actually slain under the operation of the scalp bounty law will never be known, for,

The advance in Illinois Central extended to IS and in Southern pre- ferred a point and the latter stock held remarkably firm all day in face of heavy liquidation all through the market. Illinois Central rather unac- countably declined nearly two points. The stock rallied later and closed with net gain.
 The market sank quite weakly under the heavy realizing movement in the morning. London buying invited real lzing sales and it Is likely that the fail- ure or a large outside brokerage house had something to do with the heaviness on account of the liquidation entailed upon agents on the floor. The decline extended to 1ss in St. Paul,1ss in North ern Pacific preferred and an average of a point In large number of leading shares
 The assembling of the St. Paul direc- tors With quorum present was the ef- fective influence in checking the de- cline on account of the prevalent be- lief that an extra dividend would be declared. When 1t became known that the decision of the directors was in favor of making the extra dividend per cent the stock mounted upward strongly to par, which 1t touched for the first time in fourteen years. The price reacted fraction then as though the maximum had been reached but a renewed impetus was imparted bv the enormous buying of all that offered and the price was lifted to 101 and held there till the close. Sales of St. Paul were over 130,000 shares.
 This lively advance affected the oth- CT grangers by sympathy and extended an improved tone all through the list. The renewed strength of the grain markets, the reports of the heavy traffic on railroads and the improve ment In earnings helped the rally.

that Of Eugene Cowles as Count Anthem
His magnificent bass voice came out in

ever he was given an opportunl to be
heard he was at his best. Jessie Bartlett
DAVIS, as the queen, came next in favor,
with Macdonald as Devilshoof. Both sang
exceedingly well and their parts were acted
as well as any one could wish. Miss Alice
Nelson took the part Of Airline, and while
sne d1d not come up to expectations her
voice is sweet and she gave the numbers
aliotted to her in fairly good style. Mr.

ments had been adopted only a week or two
pefore 1t was necessary for the work to be-

census Is the time at which 1t is taken. He
sald many people were away from home at
Ihe SEASIDE or mountains June 1, when the
census begins, and October 1 would be far
peter date on which to begin. The objec-
uon TO the latter date was the circum-
stance that in 1900 it would turn loose an
army OF $4,000 or 10000 enumerators in the
neat OF the presidential campaign Mr..
wright urged that there should be a per-
manent bureau of trained statisticians, in
touch with statistical bureaux in all parts
of the world.

for charities and corrections, and the Sec
ond International congress for the protec-

Of France, who was instrumental in bring

Inc proceedings Of the Mckinley and
Hobart Marching Club of the District of
Columbia last night, after preliminary
work of preparation for the inaugural
parade and ceremonies, and the indorse-
ment Of Lorin NJ Saunders for District
Commissioner, to succeed Commissioner
TruesdeI, took an unexpected turn, brought
about by a statement Of w. B. Hill in a
speech that Gen. Maceo, the Cuban war
rior. still lives, and that 1t was the duty
OF the colored American citizens to organ
ize company to go to Cuba and aid her
IN her struggle for independence. He did
not think that Senator Hale's fears that
we would bring on a war If we assisted
CUBA were well founded. He felt ready to
shoulder his gun, If necessary leave home
and friends, and march away to Cuban
warfare. This was loudly applauded, the
ladies starting the applause.
We are not courting war, he said with
any foreign power; 1t Is not the policy of
this government to do so, but If any coun-
try pounces on us the Anglo-American and
the AFRO American will stand by the flag.
Mr.. Chas. Strother, who was presiding
next addressed the meeting in eloquent
terms regarding Cuba. He said that at
any moment he was ready to leave wife
and child and the shores of his country to
fight for Cuban liberty and Independence
He thought that If the colored people
would organize and aid Cuba to gain her
independence it would be lasting monu-
ment to the race in America.
w. Chas. Hill made strong appeal for
action in the premises, and thought that
it was cowardly to delay. Mr.. Henry Dod-
son moved for the temporary organization
OF company, which was carried. Mrs
Rachael Jenkins, one of the ladies present
said that the colored men should organize
and call on Congress to grant the necessary
aid, and should go to Cuba and whip the
Spaniards and return home. She was loud
ly applauded.
Names were enrolled, with Lieut.. Charles
Hill as captain of the temporary organiza-
ton. 1t was then decided to hold public
meeting to perfect the organization and to
enlist volunteers, and the following were
named as a committee to arrange the time
