M'KINLEY'S POLICY.
MIR. HaIstead Says 1t Is Peace So Long
as Pence Is Not DishOnOrable.

ITHACA, N. Y, March 5-Mr. Murat
Halstead lectured in the course of the Cor
nell University last evening on the Spanish
American crisis in Cuba. He expressed con-
hdence in the administration and said that
since the tragic mystery of the Maine had
made the matter critically serious, Con-
gress, with a few unimportant exceptions,
had stood with the President, senator's and
representatives doing so without regard to
party affiliations. The President, the speak
er felt, had public opinion with him. The
President, on Washington's birthday, at the
very crest of the war excitement, and the
horror of the country over the blowing up
of the Maine, had faced vast crowds in the
streets of Philadelphia, and there was not
even a crank among a hundred thousand
men to lift his voice with a shout of sug-
gestion that he was not doing his whole
duty. 1t was in the atmosphere of Wash
ington that the policy of the President was
peace so long as peace was not diShonora-
BILE. Mr.. Mckinley was pursuing policy on
lines parallel to that of Lincoln before the
firing on Sumter. 1T was the policy of pa
thence. Under Lincoln it saved the coun-
try. Under Mckinley it would keep the
peace of the Nation 1t would be as one
man for the war.

The constant Utilization of the saiivary
organs kept up by chewing this stuff not
only causes a steady drain of saliva which
is most wasteful, but, what is more serious
still in consequence of the frequently re-
peated stimulation to which these organs
are thus exposed. they fail to respond to
the normal excitation which ought to rouse
them to action when food is taken A con-
slant dribble of salivary secretion is substi-
tuted for the healthy flow which should oc-
cur only at meal times. The glands fail to
respond to any stimulant less potent than
the peppermint, anise seed or the constitu-
ents found in chewing gum, and the more
insipid foods, such as bread and other
starchy compounds, pass into the stomach
unchanged. This is disturbing to digestion
at It's very commencement, and Ii Is ex-
tremely probable that the indigestion for
met with at the present day, is largely due
to the waste Of saliva caused by smoking
and by the constant chewing OF various
substances which is going on all around
The chewing of gum is thus not only a
nasty habit, but Is provocative of III health
Unfortunately, when chewing gum" is sold
in the form OF a sweetmeat, 1t may cause
still more serious consequences, beng apt

a mischievouS look when he has his front
street and he looks ordinary. He knows
that that is his right place, and he wears
an air of sedateness. But occasionally he
gets tired and wants a little human SYM
pathy and then he gets up out of the gut
ter and puts half of himself on the side
walk.
''Then he looks at every person who
comes along in hail-felloW-well- sort
of way that always goes to my heart
1.-THE other day / saw horse halfway on
the sidewalk. Near him was an Italian
with a pushcart On the pushcart were APP
pies and flannel caps. Mr.. Horse watched
the apples for long time and then, when
he saw the Italian looking another way,
he slyly crept up and began to MUNICH the
apples He had eaten three before the Ital-
ian discovered him, and was having high
old time.
THE Italian was a good-natured fellow.
He simply showed the horse away and
turned the flannel caps toward him. OF
course the horse had no interest in flannel
caps.
IL was feeling pretty good that day, so I
went up and paid for the apples the horse
had eaten. The Italian was grateful l was
happy, and l patted the horse on the

of the New York banks and explains why.
money for purely speculative purposes has
become scarce, why liquidation on the
stock Exchange has been forced and why
prices were depressed. IL is possible that
some part of the loan contraction is due to
liquidation on sterling excha age collateral
which has been withdrawn from use in i'm
porting gold. But it is the general belief
that the gold imports have been made on
the sale OF new bills against London pur-
chasers of American securities, which were
heaNy week before last, and against grain
shipments from New York. The net result

to the banks losses of cash. The situation
IN the stock market is closely analogous

the rise in prices last September The move
ment OF money then to the interior TO move
rates and liquidation of speculative stock
holdings. Whether the import movement of
gold Will result in q renewed advance in
stock with easing of money rates remains
TO be seen. That the disposition for the
moment is against speculative outlay in Sc
curltleS is evident though large capital APP
pafently stands ready to buy stocks at any
considerable decline in prices. The decline
of the latter part of the week has not in
all cases wiped out the early advances, and

ADOPTION OF THE CAT.
When 1t Was Introduced to Human
Society IL Mystery.
Boston Journal.


1t is impossible to trace the origin of the
domestic cat with certainty to any existing
species or variety of wildcat. Indeed, the
time at Which the cat was hrSt domeStlca-
ted and introduced to human society is sim
ply matter of conjecture. Prof. Smaller
expresses the opinion that the domestication
of the cat must have been much later than
that of the dog, while naturalists give rea-
sons for believing to the contrary
Some people agree with Prof Shaler and
for this reason: That dogs were probably
first domeSticated in order to assist in hunt
ing, and, therefore, probably in what is
called the hunting age of human society
whereas the cat has nowhere been gener-
ally used a hunting animal. The dog is
essentially gregarious he loves to hunt in
family he regards the family as his pack
and hunts accordingly, so that he is easily
made serviceable by the human hunter. The
cat, on the contrary, is unsocial; it lives
alone and hunts alone, so that 1t could not
be expected to be easily trained to hunt,
either with men or for men. In fact, the
only member of the cat family that is
known to have been trained to hunt is the
cheetah, though an ancient Egyptian paint
ing, which may be seen in the British mu-
scum, represents a cat which is apparently
assisting a hunter to catch birds.
There is another reason for thinking that
the cat must have been adopted by man
after the hunting age, namely the cats
wonderful attachment to localities. Animals
like the wolf, with which the dog is most
closely allied, follow their prey over vast
tracts of country, and seem entirely desti-
tute of local attachment. The wildcat, on
the contrary, settles down in a particular
spot and waits for it's prey to come. When
seems to lose its skill, and therefore would
be useless to men in a hunting age, because
in that age men seldom had fixed habita-
lions, but roamed abroad wherever game
is conjecture. Whether the cat or the dog
was first adopted by man cannot now be
known as a domestic animal at an early
period of human history.

Powder for Forts,

SAN FRANCISCO. March 5-Increased
supplies of ammunition for high-power guns
have been ordered by the War Department
from the Benecia arsenal to the forts at the
Preside and Lime Point. To-day twenty
tons of powder and a large supply of pro-
jectiles were placed aboard barges at Bene-
cha and towed to the Preside wharf The
supply of munitions at the arsenal have
been almost exhausted by this shipment
and will be replenished by trainload of
ammunition from the East. Veteran army
officers stationed at the Preside are conf
dent that the works at Fort Point and Fort
Baker are now strong enough to success
fully resist any fleet that Spain could send
to the Pacific
