New York May 12,-Spanish As. which
have been as low as q. and which closed
last week at 2924, have gone up 20 35." says
the London correspondent Of the Tribune.
This unexpected result IS explained on
the street as due to a growing feeling
that Spain is not prepared 20 risk another
naval engagement, but viii keep her ,lcet
under the shelter of Cadi6 ana accept the
intervention of the Powers.
IF this feeling were general, Spanish
is would go above 40 at once, but the rise
has sufficed TO convince many hopeful
bankers that peace is close at hand.
They have been talking freely among
themselves about the possibility of nego-
tiatng a peace on the basis of Spanish
withdrawal from Cuba and American re-
tirement from the Philippines, with mod
crate war indemnity payable from Mad
rid.
They have no facts upon which to base
this belief except the sudden Improvement
in Spanish securities and the unexpected
access of confidence in the restoration of
peace exhibited in Paris and Vienna.

Spooner secretary, An agreement was circulated to be signed before this af- ternoon's races at the Interstate fair, and a motion was adopted that those failing to sign the agreement before the races began could only become mem bers of the union through formal ap- plicatlon.
 Those who were at the meeting and who signed the agreement were Eddie Bald, Arthur Gardiner Tom Cooper, Jay Eaton, Orlando Stevens, H. F. Ter rill J. B. Anderson, w. E, Becker B. B. Stevens, John Zimmerman, H. T. Bar low, w. J. Wigmore, James P. Logue, John Ruel. R. A. Miller, E. P, Thomp- son and Eddie Stout. Those present appointed themselves a committee-at- large to circulate the agreement among the rest of the sixty-three profession als entered for to-day's races, and ap- peal to them to sign the document.
 Officers of the l.. A. w. are here and say that the suspension ordes against Bald and others will be revoked on payment of $l0 fine for each one. The opinion expressed by one of the officers, however, was that the l.. A. w. had not notified the referee of this afternoon S races of the suspensions of the several professionals. Captain Harry Allen of the Century Wheelmen, Philadelhia, is the referee appointed in the absence of Albert Mott of the l.. A. W.
 Gardiner and other racing men at the meeting said that no overtures from the l.. A. w. would be considered and that they were out of that organization for good. They declared that the Amer ican Racing Cyclists union would be- come a permanent organization, and, looking to that end, an executive com mittee, composed of Bald Batchelder, Gardiner and Spooner, was appointed.
 Another meeting will be held at the Bingham house, Philadelphia, on We'd nesday evening, when further steps will be taken to make the organization not only permanent, but effective. At the meeting this morning a proposition to exclude negro riders was voted down.

PoIi's Wonderland Theater.


 Manager Poli continues to draw packed houses to his pretty theater, the Won derland. His bill this week is, as usual, varied and delightful, giving as lead- ing feature the playlet "A Forgotten Combination, which is presented by Francesca Bedding and Eugene Moore Then follows long list of novelty acts, chief among which is George w. Day, a clever monologue entertainer, who is the pet of the New York clubs and vaudeville houses. Day is student of human nature, evidently, for he tops off the peculiarities of the race to per- lection, and always wins laugh. The Schroder Brothers, lively performing acrobats; Solando, a man who models lots of funny faces out of clay; Wilson & Leicester, who sing capitally, and Hall & Slatly, with a merry burlesaue burglary, are great hits. Others on the bill are Gray and Conway and Conway and Staats, besides the continued feat ure, the Biograph, which presents a new set of excellent views and retains the naval parade and the landing of troops in Cuba. Pricesl10 and 20 cents. Ladies in the afternoon 10 cents, Bicy- cles checked free.

cooked their rifles and cautiously pick ed their way through the powders and underbrush, Tho boy was lost track of in the excitement.
 There was a rustling in the dense foliage few rods to the right The ri- fles went to the shoulders of the deer hunters and, as the leaves trembled again, several of them fired together
 Not a sound came from where the deer was supposed to have been. Its a dead shot," said one of the party, as they ran toward the spot where the bushes had moved.
 The guides were in advance, and as they parted the bushes, they found, in stead of the deer the body of young Scott Currier. He had been shot through the head and was dying.
 When Dr. Currier reached the spot and saw the body of his only son lying before him, he fell fainting in the arms of a guide. By use of stimulants the guide rivived Dr. Currier.
 They were many miles from the near est habitation, and the guides con- structed an Indian sledge, on which the body of the doctors son was placed Then a heart breaking march through the woods was begun.
 No one asked who fired the fatal shot. All realized that as it was ter rible accident, for which no one could be held responsible, the question might well be left unanswered. The father got over his grief bravely after the first shock, and, later, said he was satisfied that the accident was one for which no one could be blamed.
 The body was taken to Northamp- ton, the nearest place where an under taker could be found. When Mrs. Cur Tier received the news of her sons death she fell in swoon and is now seriously i'll. Dr. Currier Is prostrated with grief and could not be seen to- day. When I called at the home to- day a relative of the family said Dr. Cur rier only knew his son was shot, Who fired the fatal bullet he was unable to say.
 Mrs. Sudbury, wife of MT. Sudbury, Dr. Curriers' intimate friend, who was with the party when the fatal shot was fired, said her husband was prostrated and could not be seen. He had tainted away to-day and could only tell an in- coherent story of what happened.
 Scott Currier was to return in a week to Dwight school, New York, where he had been a student for two wears.
