when the general was engaged IN the
Venezuelan claims affair. The ex-presi-
dent was asked about the matter tonight
and he confirmed the story. although he
did not know that Il was abroad and did
not authorize it, He now thinks that a
young Frenchman who acted as his valet
was the swIndler. or. II not. that h knew
all about the lareeuies. Aside from sums
OF money that the ex-president missed.

PUBLIC KEEPS OUT
Which Gives Professionals a
Bad Case of Doubts.
PRICES ADVANCE EARLY
Business Activity as Related
to the Money Market

New York, Feb. 1.-THE movement Of
prices in the stock market today reflected
very clearly the doubtful and conflicting
speculative opinion over the outlook for
prices The opinion reflected was almost
wholly that of professional operators in
stocks, tse they were the only ones who
took any notable part in the trading. The
general public persisted in keeping out
Of the stock market and this continued
indifference had not little to do with
doubts Of the professional SPECTATORS,
some of whom sold stocks before the
close Of the day. prompted by their dis
appointment over the failure of any gen
eral demand for the stocks to develop.
A number of factors contributed to an
early advance in prices. The initial i'm
pulse came from the London markets,
where prices advanced on the cheerful
feeling engendered by the forward move
of British troops in South Africa Lon
don was a buyer here at the opening,
but the demand from that source was
satisfied with the taking Of 5000 to 5000
shares.
All reports continue to reflect high
level OF prospective business activity and
an unprecedented level of railroad earn
ings. But this very activity in business
arouses a question whether the use OF
money involved is now likely to deplete
the supply Of funds available for specu-
lative purposes. No better explanation
has been found OF last weeks enormous
loan expansion than the demand for mer-
camille uses, which is known to be on
very large scale. Rates for call loans
still continue easy, but only the choicest
grades of mercantile paper can be placed
now as low as four per cent. most trans
actions being made at to per cent.
Time loans for so days are also in large
demand at AZ per cent. The sub-treas-
ury has already absorbed over s2,600.000
from the market this week and the
course of New York exchange at interior
points gives little hope Of any gain in
cash for these sources. Taking into &C
count tide recent tendency towards large
expansion of loans, a further large inroad
upon surplus reserve in regarded as in
evitable in the coming bank statements.
Closing figures of stocks were as follows:

There Is really no doubt in the
minds Of anyone at all familiar with
international law that Great Britain
went beyond her rights in seizing car
goes Of -four and other provisions ON
the way to Delagoa Bay. A bellig-
'erent has the right to seize the
enemy's property on the high seas,
even under neutral flag, II 1t is con-
traband Of war. Whether, II not contra
hAud; 1t may be tsken under ncutrsl
nag is disputcd question. Neutral
property, II bound to, or ultimately
intended for blockaded port, Is
SUBJECT to seizure, bnt no nation has
ever yet contended that neutral prop
erty, bound from neutral port for a
neutral port, and not ultimately In
tended for blockaded port, not "a
hostile port, take notice, but a block
AIDED port--may be seized. To merely
stag such proposition is torefute It,.
To enforce such q claim would be to
cripple neutral commerce whenever
a gar took place. II Great Britain
has this right to seize American flour
bound to Portuguese territory, she Is
cneftled to seize Russian wheat bound
to Italy just as well. 1t follows that
Great Britain will unqucstiOnably re-
|'leasc the -four and the vessels carry
ing it, and will ultimately paw dam
ages. She may even dismiss the
officer who made the seizures. But
men are willing to sacrifice them
selves for their country, and after all.
1t Will be small price to pay for
cutting OF the food supply of the

Broken Heart at Flea Hill.

", q .
News reaches us this morning
from several vary reliable sources
that a young lady just 81 years
|old died in Flea Hill township
Monday literally of a broken
heart.
Several years ago this young
lady was engaged to young man
of the neighborhood. He went. to
Georgia to seek his fortune. On
Sunday last he returned home and
visited all his neighbors except
his. former sweetheart. He took
mo notice of her whatever. When
the young lady appeared at the
breakfast table on Monday morn
ing her distress is said to have been
awful to behold; and she finally
fled screaming from the room.
Her mother went to comfort her,
but it was of no avail, and with
the words: "Tell--I love
him, and died of a broken hearth"
she suddenly expired.
The above is vouched for by
several of the leading citizens of
Flea Hill, but for obvious reasons
