The sixty days guarantee is thought
by dealers to be hurting sales. the idea

the guarantee has run out before hav-

is that some concerns are extending the
cid guarantee of six months AS they

are not to b. classed anti-annexation-

are probably correct, but in writing OF the

TO discuss the agitation against annexation

Spanish merchants, that material queS-
tonS must lie settled before entering on the
domain of politics.
If the queting of the NOV menl LOT an
neXation among the Spanish cOmmercla1
classes does not indicate a change in senti-
ment it is true in a thousand-fold more in
tense degree that tha sentiment of the mass
of the Cubans for independence mas not

But writing of the present. it is impossible
to say the aspirations of the Cubans as a
people for independence are less intense
than they were when they reYoited against
Spanish rule.
Conservative Element in Control.
The conservative forces among the insur-
gents and among the other Cubans have
asserted themselves. They are in control
and will continue to control unless some
unforeseen circumstance should disturb the
present conditions. Ine source OF lHtlT
strength is simple. They support the policy
of trusting the United States as a means TO
insure the experiment of independence. SO
long as they go with their people they are
strong If the sentiment of the people
changes the leaders may keep their position
by acting in harmony with it. But they
cannot themselves alter the popular Senu-
ment, When Gen. CaliNto- Garcia and the
other members of the delegation return

Though by virtue of election the members
of this assembly can claim to represent
only the Cubans who were in arms, il it
properly interprets the feelings and the
aspirations of the entire people its actions
will have their support.
While the future government of Cuba has
not been among the official duties of the
evacuation commission, the matter was one
which did not lie entirely outside its prov
ince. The members could not avoid meet
ing all classes. The meeting with the Gu
bans has had good effect. Their faith
in the intentions of the United States has
not been shaken. while they have obtained
a better understanding of the wor-. that

Cuba In mingling with the insurgents and

they have the friendship of the official rep

Grave Possibilities,
SCARCITY OF APPLES.
MissOuris Crop This Year is Almost
Complete Failure.

From the Kansas City Star.
There are many interesting features to
the apple market this season. 1t is seldom
that conditions vary so materially from or
binary years. A year ago this fall buyers
from all parts of the country haunted the
apple orchards of Kansas City and the sur
rounding country and paid the Missouri
growers literally for their fruit. This year
hardly an apple state in the Union Jared
so badly as did Missouri. The crop was
hardly 10 per cent of an average yield
Buyers for the Kansas City trade have
had agents north, south, east and west
with instructions to buy everything in sight
that money could purchase. The result is
unique In one cold storage house in the
city which last year contained about 10 OpO
barrels of home grown fruit there are va
rieties of apples grown in no fewer than
fourteen different states, representing al
most every part or this country and Can
ada and one may buy apples here grown
in New York or in oregon, in Canada or in
Idaho, but it will be almost an impossible
ity for him to purchase an apple that was
ripened by a Missouri sun or one that was
colored by the winds in the big red apple
district of Arkansas.
Anybody who has ever bought fruit out
of season or has purchased vegetables
grown in foreign climate knows the rela-
ton of express and freight tariffs to the
price he pays for the commodity. The cost
of shipping apples to this market this sea-
son has advanced prices considerably In
stead of paying ten cents for a dozen large
red Winesaps or juicy Huntsman's Favor
ties, the consumer who enjoys an apple
after his monday meal is obliged to pay
five cents for two, apples of questionable
variety, the only good quality of which is
that they are apples. The housewife who
is accustomed TO pay 10 and 20 cents peck
for cooking apples makes fewer pies and
stews less sauce when she is obliged to pay
twice that sum.
The scarcity of apples has caused many
dealers to sell their offerings upon arrival
because of the good prices resulting from
the heavy consumptive demand. The sup
ply in cold storage Is not so large, in con-
sequence as 1t was last year at this time
Many outside growers, however are for
warding their fruit for storage in this mar
ket, and the total number of barrels will
aggregate nearly as many as last year A
visit to the storage plant of the Armours
shows the fruit in excellent condition The
facilities for storing at this big cold stor-
age house are recognized by apple dealers
all over the country as among the best to
be found anywhere. w. j. Murray, who
has charge of the department says that
not once in fifteen years will the conditions
of the apple market be like those prevail
ing in 1898.

Bismarcks 5 brain is perhaps the heaviest
on record. The weight was estimated at
fifty-eight ounces. or l, ,S67 grams, whereas
Cuvier's weighed 1,Sso Byrons. 1,SJ7;
Kant's $50; Schiller's. l $50, and Dante's.
1,420 grams The average for European
adult man is $50 grams. II should be said,
however, that the weight of Bismarck S
brain is only calculated from head meas
urements, and, therefore. We cannot affirm
that il makes the record. Byron had a
large brain, yet observers describe his head
as rather small, and it is possible that Bis
marck with large head, may have had a
dispreportionately small brain. Bismarck s
head was of the broad, or Celtic, type,
which has a larger capacity than the long
Teutenic type but this fact does not neces-
sarily mean that the Celtic type is the
more intellectual, though some maintain
