HAS WITHDRAWN

New York, March 24.-The Times says:
II is announced that Oliver H. p. Bel
mont, who withdrew from the committee
on invitation and speakers of the demo-
cratic club dinner on Wednesday of last
week, has decided not to attend the func-
ton of Mr.. Croker's club, but will m
stead partake of the 81 dinner. 1t was
given out by one of Mr.. Bemont's per-
sonal friends and business associates.
Mr.. Belmont could not be seen when veri-
| fication Of the report was sought.
In resigning from the democratic club S
committee, Mr.. Belmont gave as his rea-
son the extensive publicity given the af-
fair and the fact that the dinner had
dwindled from national to merely local
significance. His latest move it was said
last night, was for the purpose of empha
sizing his disapproval of the operations
of the managers of the democratic club.
Mr.. Brewster, who is in harge of the
| Bryan dinner, says he has received as
surances that several prominent guests
will be present, including Tom. l.. John :
| son and Mayor Jones of Toledo. Appli-
| cations for seats were accommodating fast,
he said, and everything gave promise of
a successful dinner.

Important case Decided

Sioux City, iowa, March ga decision
affecting several million dollars worth of
real estate here, has been rendered by
District Judge Wakefield. The eight
original owners of the townsite of Sioux

embraces 80 to leo blocks in the present
heart of the city bout year ago heirs
of the original owners sued to establish

THE REBELS WILL
MAKE LAST STAND

New York, March PA dispatch to the
World from Manila says: The rebels are
heavily massed in the trenches opposite
our lines on the north. This evidently
comes from belief on the part of Aguin-
aldo that a blow is to be struck very soon
at Malolos, their capital. Prisoners who
have been brought in within the last "a
hours say that the rebels have the "last
ditch feeling and will make the most de-
cisive stand they have yet taken. The
second line of defense occupied by the
rebel forces is between San Mateo and
Mannaliches. There are rows of trenches
there, and the advance of our troops can
only be step by step, with resistance to
be expected at every trench.
The weather now is most favorable,
and there are only So men reported in the
hospital The troops under Gen. MacAr-
thur holding the strong lines to the north
are provided with shelter to keep off the
sun. and as they have no marching to do
and are not exposed they are generally in
good health.

QUESTION Is ONLY
APOLITICAL ONE

New York, March PA dispatch to the
Herald from st. Johns, N. F., says: In
an interview with James Murray on the
French shore question, he treats it from
the standpoint of an old residential mer-
chant of many years experience in the
trade of the colony and also as former
member of the Legislature for one of the
districts of the treaty coast.
"The French shore question: he said,
'is merely a stage property of the polti
clans, brought out into prominence or
run back into obscurty just as it suits
other schemes and needs"
Has the French shore grievance no
substantial existence in fact?"
Enough to keep it from becoming eX-
tinct altogether. Were it not for the peri
odical efforts of local politicians to gal
vanize it into renewed life the French
fishery would have died out long ago. The
total value of Goldfish caught on the
French shore last year did not exceed
$685. 900, and the lobster fishery $4,000.
The whole fishery in value did not pay
the cost of fitting out the French fishing
fleet"

QU|N|NE IS A
SCARCE ARTICLE

New York March 24.-The Tribune, dis
cussing the recent advance of 60 per cent
in the price of Qunine says the United
States consumes about one-half of the
worlds output. The cause of the present
scarcity is attributed by some to efforts
made by the london spectators to corner
the market. This may be true to GER
tain extent, for the fundamental cause
is the fact tnat the consumption seems
at least to have overtaken the supply
and the surplus of bark which existed
for years is now used up. The recent war
ME, and the opening up of new colonial
territory by several countries in Africa
and elsewhere has also been a potent fac
tor in reducing the surplus of bark The
consumption of quinine during the last
bubOnic plague in India was also i'm,
menSe.
1t is said that many cultivators of
chinchona have neglected their trees in
recent years when the price fell below
profitable figure, owing to the over pro-
duction, and that this has caused the
marked stringency in the supply which
is the basis for present high prices 1t
may take some years to bring the crop
up to it's former volume, if. indeed there
be any desire to do so, which is doubtful.
on the part of the planters. The quinine
market is controlled in London, and a
combine" to take advantage of the pres
emf situation is not improbable As vet
the retail druggist has not raised the
price of quin!ne pills but this state of af-
fairs is not expected to last long.
