A MILLION A SHIPPED

From the New York Herald.
 Tuesday, November 1, marked the opening of the quail season for this state, and not withstanding all the protective acts passed by the last session of the legislature, 1t is said by dealers that as many. if not more. quail will be sold in New York city this season than in any previous season. no matter how long it continued A wholesale dealer in game birds says that low esti- mate there were one hundred thousand dozen of quail brought into the city GU the morning of November l. They were in transit from the different points where they were shot so that they reached here at day. break. Of course, these birds were not all displayed in the market on the day they were brought in. for the game laws allow only certain number to be sold during the season; only a few were sold to deal CTS, and the rest were put in cold storage. By this system the price of quail will be kept up all season. .

Futile and Absurd

London. November 1.-The Times, com- menting edtorially this morning upon the Spanish suggestion of arbitration regarding the Philippines. refsrs to 1t as 'obviouslly futile and absurd"
 ''The Spanish cabinet" says the Times. "has no intention of breaking of the nego- tiations. It Is only p-olcnging them in order to famil' arize the public mind In Spain with the inevitable concessions. Ger tainly, there is no need for the United States to send a fleet to Spain as they could easily enforce submission without that. Spain would be foolish to sulk, and thus lose the money compensation America is now willing to pay"

."fhere Is considerable disappointment in high quarters at the failure of the Spanish peace commissioners to obtain any impor- tant concessions, at least financial ones, from the United States Senors Montaro Rios, Garnica and Abarzuza are reproach- ed with conducting the negotiations too much like lawyers and without sufficiently attending to the more conciliatory sugges- tions of their colleagues on the commis- sion.
 "In the same strain 1t is argued that Senor Montero Rios would undoubtedly earn popularity by declining tos sign peace on such harsh conditions and patrioticaliy throwing up his mission, but all sensible people share Senor Sagasta's opinion that it would be better to secure peace on any terms, while protesting against ungener- ous treatment.
 There is widespread feeling in Spain that it would be better to get rid of the ungrateful colonies and of everything cal- culated to lead to fresh American aggres- sion. The bitterness of the feeling against the United States is now greater than ever among all classes. Certainly the govern ment's principal pre-occupation is the question of a Carlist rising, but it Is be- lieved any attempt could be speedily sup pressed"
