life and labor as he has. And as to

The Fish and Game Protection Club
of Montreal, Canada, asks the province
Of Quebec to give bounty for wolf
scalps, and one of their observant
members suggests that while they are
about it they should include foxes, as
these animals, he is convinced, are
much more destructive of small game
than wolves, even. The fox, he says,
is the great destroyer of cartridges,
and in his tramps through the woods
he has had abundant proof of it.

New York, April There Is a strong
conviction on Wall street that delay in
the sending In of the presidents mes
sage is favorable to the avoidance Of
war. This was clearly manifest in the
response Of the market to the early
rumor from abroad that the presidents
message would not so in yesterday,
and to the later authorized announce
ment from Washington that 1t would
be withheld until Monday. The dispo-
sition of the message was the central
point about which the whole market
turned all day. The assertions of the
morning newspapers that 1t would
without question go In, and that 1t
would declare for forcibIe Intervention,
caused the decline at the opening, the
opening prices in almost all cases being
the lowest of the day.
The resistance to the decline and the
quick recovery were surprise to out
side observers, who were prepared for
something like a war panic on the eX-
change. The recovery was due to
cabled reports Of a rumor in London
that the message would not go in until
next Tuesday. This rumor was quickly
ulbcTeulteu ny StdteIntnlS lToIl "dSu-
ington, and the market drifted to
lower plane again. but not to the low
est. The stagnation of the trading
during this period Of waiting was al
most absolute, and the sudden out
break of activity when the later au-
thentic reports came from Washington
that the message would be delayed
until Monday was in strong contrast.
1t was evident that the conclusion was
leaped to that the Withholding Of the
message was due to reception Of fur
ther proposals from Spain or to move
ments for mediation by European pow
ers, giving promise that the two coun-
tries might emerge peacefully from
their ENHANCEMENT. The violent ad-
vance was checked and reaction set in
when 1t was stated that delay was due
to advices from Consul General Lee.
Prices stiffened again, however, before
the close. on the strength of the gem
eral sentiment that delay favored
peace.

This Would Not Satisfy Cubans.

London, April THE Vienna CORE
spondent of The Times explains a plan
of settlement which "offers an accent
able compromise. if not too late, and
which has already come under the no.
tice of one Of the parties concerned"
He says: The scheme involves Civ
ing Cuba autonomy, but placing the
island in a relation toward Spain sim
liar to that which Egypt sustains to-
ward Turkey Under this plan Cuba
would pay an annual tribute to Spain.
while America would he entrusted with
the control OF the Cuban finances and
have the same standing there as Eng
land has in Egypt. The United States
would guarantee the Spanish loan,
which, considering Americas high
credit, could easily be issued at 8 per
cent interest being covered by the
tribute. The proceeds Of the loan could
be divided, say one-third to Cuba and
two-thirds to Spain, and thus both be
rescued from financial distress and an
honorable peace secured, advantageous
to both America and Spain"
