PEACE TAIN IN THE WRONG PLACE.
Let Overtures Come From spain. the Beat
en- Party. but No Peace Talk Here.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Boston business man of promi-
nence tells the country that 'the time
is ripe for entering into negotiations
for an early peace" \ little of the
same sort of talk Is heard in other
parts of the United States, but 1t will
not have the slightest effect on this
country's conduct. This talk is not only
useless, as regards its possible influence
in the United States. but 1t nay prove
harmful by raising false hopes IN
Spain. When Spain hears of peace pc
titions i'm this country she may think
that people here are firing of the war,
and that will head off the peace pro-
posals which are beginning to be agi-
tated by a part of the press and people
over there. Peace talk i'm the United
States is as much out of place as IL
would have been in this country just
before SCOTS capture of the City of
Mexico half a century ago. or 1t would
have been in Germany on h eve %
sedan.
The place for peace ALI is in Spain.
and 1t is beginning TO be heard in that
country. The most prominent paper IN
Barcelona has just taken up the peace
cry which is beginning to resound
through various parts OF that country,
and its appeals are being copied in the
Madrid press. This is significant. even
though, as the cable tells us, the Ma
drid press does not indorse the APP
peals. The Barcelona paper says.
with truth, that EVERY days delay
raises the price at which peace is OBJ
tainable. n the American resources
are such hat even If all the American
~squadrons are destroyed, Spain still
ought to ask for peace at any price"
These demands will grow louder and
more imperative in Spain as lime pass

echoing them here. After a few weeks
the Sagasta cabinet. or the regime
which takes its place. will be forced -
heed them. The fear of revolution,
which impelled SPANS government to
rush into war. may soon force itself
to ask the United States for terms OF
settlement.
No better way could be devised to
stop the peace movement in Spain than
for Americans TO show they are INK
ious for peace. The Barcelona editor
sees plainly that even IL every ship un-
der command of Dewey, Sampson and
Schley were sent to the bottom of the
ocean, the United States still would be
victorious, but the average Spaniard g
less cle~ar-sighted. The Spanish mass
es are ignorant and implacable. and
like all other half-civilized people they
respect nothing except force. Any
thing on our side which would look
like a concession would be construed
into an exhibition of fear. a peace
movement here would be hailed by
most of the Spanish and
by all the Spanish populace as a flag
of distress. The American who talks
peace at the present status of affairs Is
any enemy of his country. Let pro-
posals of his sort come from the other
side. and If they are reasonable, and II
they recognize the logic of the situa-
ton and the trend of events, they will
get consideration here. Spain is the
aggressor. Spain is the beaten party.

THE GERMAN sUGAeoo.
How Opinion Is Manufactured by Organs
Posing as Official.

Berlin Corr. in the London Times.
The following declaration occupies a
prominent place in the North-German
Gazette:
'Various foreign journals rave re-
Gently expressed the opinion that the
Marinepolitische Correspondent is a
SEMI official organ and has relations
with the imperial admiralty. h is IN
no sense correct"
The reputation of the Marinepol-
itische Correspondents by the govern
ment organ comes somewhat late IN
the day, but 1t is, doubtless, 10 be TAX
en- in connection with the statements
which recently appeared in that news
sheet to the effect that Germany must
claim a harbor from the future re
public of the Philippines" 1t would
have peer more to the point had the
North-German Gazette r~epudiated the
very explicit expose of German policy
with regard to the Philippines which
was given by the Marinepolitische Cor
respondenz on June IA. AS an evil
dence of the Importance which was at
tached to the declarations OF the Cor
respondent, / may mention that the
well informed National Zeitung quoted
IL in full as a noteworthy" exposition
of German interests" Nay, more, the
Cologne Gazette, which ought TO be IN
a position to estimate the value or
news ana OF tplllolS, oPhSN -
word for word from Berlin n gave 1t
the first place in it's Berlin correspond
ence. Not content with his, the Rhen-
ish organ, contrary to its usual GUS
tom, printed in special type the follow
ing sentence which occurred in the
middle of the article: Germany has a
better right than other nations which
aim at establishing themselves in the
Philippines TO claim a point d'appni
for her interests without unduly med
ding with the political development OF
affairs"
ANY one who is acquainted with the
characteristics of the German press
would not have failed to regard the
Berlin telegram of the Cologne Ga
zette as indicating that the declara-
tions of the Marinepolitische Cores
pondenz possessed an altogether I'M
usual Importance, a much greater i'm
portance, indeed, than l at first at
tributed to them in the Times after
quoting them from the National Eel
tung in my telegram of june IA. Other
Cerman journals, in fact, explicitly
stated what most people beheVed-
hat the Marinepolitiscne Correspon-
denz enjoyed official inspiration.
Ii is somewhat remarkable In tnlS
connection tina the German official tel
egraph agency studiously refrains
from denying on it's own account the
various rumors which are in circula-
ton regarding the plans of Germany
in the Philippines. The Vossische lei
tung ridicules a St. Petersburg tele-
gram of the official agency. which Is

ever suggested that Germany should
swallow the whole island group at one
gulp. Even a squadron of five Ger
man ships of wal with crews all told

enterprise of that kind"

The government weekly crop bulletin

harvest promised to be from 10 days to

The s%lackness c of speculation caused

that free shipments of new wheat were

The Financier.. Rexiem-

New York. July a-The New York FL
nancier says: A notable decrease in sur
plus reserves is the feature OF the state
ment of the New York banks for the
week ending July 2. Operations with the
treasury pending the award of the new
loan and the settlement of July dividends
are responsible i'm large part for the
heavy changes in the various items. The
increase of 81. e91. 500 in loans can be
traced directly to several Institutions
which are carrying government money
in fact. the expansion reported by the
National City. the Hanover National and
the Chase National equals the total gain
reported for all the institutions. The fact
that the increase is thus limited to a few
banks precludes the idea that general
business demands have influenced the
heavy loan growth. although one of the
banks responsible for these changes has
actually lost in cash the full amount Of
its loans. the sum being within one and
a half millions of the total loss of 81, 669,-
900 reached by all the banks.
The deposits of the. same bank have
also fallen so that the loans in its case

these tend to confuse accurate analysis,
but the general trend of the statement is
about as expected.

the other hand. the treasury is making
unusually heavy payments on war ac-
count. but its receipts for the reason
named are in excess of disbursement. The
effect is to reduce the surplus of the local
banks, and that is what the statement
shows.
The loss has been greater than expect
ed. for the banks have gained through
the interior movements. The flow of cash
to New York, however. has passed its
maximum and domestic exchange has de-
clined sharply at interior centers. The sit
uation can only be described as favorable.
The surplus reserves of the banks are in
excess of $50. 600. 900. and while the award
Of the new loan this week will create
more or less confusion. nothing more than
a temporary disturbance is anticipated.
The fact that not much more than one
fourth of the whole amount has been
taken in $500 bonds or under makes IL
easy for the treasury to regulate the
period of payments for larger subscrip-
lions in installments so separated as TO
minimize their effect on the money mar
ket.

sheridan Outwitted by Cupid and the Re
porters.

General Phil Sheridan was never out
witted but once, says the Chicago
Times Herald. and that was when the
doughty warrior surrendered to Cupid
and a flank army of newspaper folk
closed in upon him. The news, COM
ing only a few days in advance of his
marriage. was I'm the nature of a ruse
de guerre. but no soldier of them all
was brave enough TO approach the gen.
eral on the subject. So the correspond
ents lay i'm wait until the four-mule
team. with its gallant load, had left
the bachelor home on Wabash avenue.
and then they swarmed into the fort
ress on different objects-one going dis
guised as a workman carrying a pot Of
paint-and somebody's palm was
crossed with silver. but whose VIII
never he known. and every detail Of
the approaching festivities was sent
over the wires to the leading newspa-
pers of the country.
The hero of Winchester was In de-
spair. He could not understand that
everything relating to his private life
was of the greatest Importance to the
American people. and he resented the
intrusion upon his domestic privacy.
Then he resorted to strategy. He had a
presentation sword with a superb dia
mond in the hilt. and one day this dia-
mond was missing. There was a great
hue and cry. but the general had little
to say. Only his establishment was at
once put under surveillance. and the
army of correspondents retired in good
order, without n feeling OF having
suffered defeat. The diamond was
found safe in the generals possession
when the newspaper siege was over.

NEW YORK 0 REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-Mining Stocks.
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review of Trade.

New York, July 9.-The bullish senti-
ment on the stock exchange was unmis-
taxable to-day and carried prices agrees
sively upward during the two hours ses-
sion, routing the bears and defeating
their rather feeble efforts to work a reac-
ton. Some professional traders were
skeptical about the character of the buy
ing of the last two days, regarding 1t as
a m%aneuver TO attract outside buying
to realize on. and they attempted to check
the advancing tendency by renewing yes
terday's attack on the coalers. This
group of stocks proved easy victims on
account of the demoralized condition Of
the anthracite industry, owing to the in
creasing competition of gas fuel and the
extreme c~heapness of bituminous coal.
The losses ranged from l to Pa points.
This drive against the coalers did not, in
fact, Aunsettle the market and induced
some profit-taking on the two-days ad-
vance. But the character of the buying
at the decline made il evident that the
stocks absorbed during the last two days
had been taken for something more than
a fractional turn in price. The check TO
the advance brought only small offerings
which were easily absorbed and the mar
ket was soon moving upwards again I'M
der the influence of the persistent and ur-
gent demand for the Vanderbilts. The
uying of New York Central was most
conspicuous, though the movement in the
price was not as pronounced as in some
of the allied roads.
Buying elsewhere in the pit was less ur-
gent, though it was good, part of 1t evil

EASY GAME.
The Wool Buyers Nine Defeated by the
Home Team.

hphAN
Great Falls, July 9.-The baseball
game this afternoon between a nine
composed of the wool buyers and a nine
selected from local men resulted in a
score of q TO II in favor of the home
nine. As the score shows, the game
was about what is usually expected OF
an amateur game but the crowd at
the park. while small. seemed to thor
oughly enjoy the plays made and did
not hesitate to express their opinion
from the grand stand.
The wool buyers nine consisted OF
Thayer. Stevenson. Peters. Brigham,
Patterson, Mum, Morse, Livingstone
and Johnson. Their battery was first
Peters and Brigham, and afterwards
Richardson took the pitchers box. The
other nine was composed of Frank Nc
Lear, Lee Tut. Carr. Powers {. %.
Jerks, Works, Vincent Fortune, T.. L.
Wright, Walker and H II. Matteson.
While the wool buyers nine boosted
several members who had been cap
tains and members of former Harvard
university mines, il was evident from
the playing the day of their glory was
long past and hat the local nine was
merely passing the time with them.
There was a good deal of fun about the
game, however, and the entire proceeds
were given to the fund for Company y,
so hat the audience was satisfied and
voted the game a success.

This makes a total of $S12.S0 collect
ed up to this evening. Many who have
given to this fun have not only con-
tributed through the subscription pa
pers which have been circulated, but
they have also bought tickets TO the
hall. and have given money
through other channels to the cause.
The citizens generally have made a
proud record in this matter and the
boys of Company A will remember ana
will have cause to remember thelr
generosity for many a day and per-
haps in many a foreign place. The
boys deserve all that is given to them
by the people at home. and it is graft
fying to note that those who nave
made the greatest sacrifices in the past
hat their sons or brothers or husbands
might go to the aid of the country are
the ones who are making the sacrifice
now to insure them some degree OF
