TO Great Britain In the last quarter Of

A dispatch to the Journal and Ad-
vertiser from Paris says: Addison
Harris, former United States minister
to Austria, IL now In Paris on his way
home. He gave to the correspondent
the following statement on the COM
mercial sentiment Of European ma
tions against the United States:
.ln 1887 the AustriA-Hungarian min
lister OF financial affairs urged on the
Austrian parliament the necessity for
a continental bund against the United
States of America. 1t was reported
that he also addressed notes on the
subject to European courts. Austria.
in pursuance Of this policy. is now en-
gagged in framing . new tarih which 1t
Is expected Hungary will ratify. thus
making the new Austro-HungariAn
tariff take effect in 1908.
THAT year the trtple alliance ex-
pires by limitation. as also do the COM
mercial treaties between the three
powers. II Is reliably reported that
these powers will cooperate CONNER
cially at the same time as they renew
their martial alliance.
"The board of trade OF Austria Is
diligently engaged In collecting data
and framing schedules, and the min
lister Of finance will soon submit the
proposed new law to the Austrian par
lament. The terms of the schedule
have not yet been made public. but one

commercial treaties with Germany and
Italy must rest. But the sentiment OF
farmers and manufacturersis 10 for high
protection, with favoritism TO their
political allies.
THE operations Of Mr.. Morgan and
his associates have energized the peo-
pie OF central Europe. They are not
afraid; they have foreseen the fierce
struggle with the United States and
have been preparing for the fray. In.
cluding Italy. Germany and Austria.
there are 10000 900 persons between
the Mediterranean and the Baltic.

The upholders Of the triple alliance
claim they have controlled the peace

They contend that with similar com
mercial alliance they can regulate the
commerce Of Europe.
II do not think the Austrian minister

Of Europe to Join in . coalition against
the United States. II he had he would

Extraordinary.

An extraordinary species OF rabbit
has been found high up on Mount
Popocatepetl. Mexico. at and above
an altitude Of 5000 meters (approxi-
mately 10000 feeD. This singular
animal has exceedingly short hind
legs, and instead OF moving by .
series Of leaps like ordinary rabbits,
runs along on all fours and lives in
runaways In the grass like the
meadow mice, says the Washington
Times.
Mr.. E. W. Nelson. who discovered
this new species in the world of
mammals. says: "On my frst visit to
Mount Popocatepetl I learned that
these little rabbits were found there.
and on my return to the City Of Mex
leo. I prepared for an expedition to
secure them. On January 5, 1894. my
assistant, Mr.. Z. A. Goldman. and l
made our camp on the side ofa canyon
At An altitude OF about $500 meters
(ll.0oo feet) on the northwest slope
Of the mountain. We were accom-
panied by three Indian hunters and
our packer. Among the frs and al
ders at this altitude the northerly
slopes Of the hills and canyons are COW
cred with luxuriant growth Of succa-
ton grass IN huge bunches. from three
to aix feet across. and often reaching
. height Of six or eight feet. This
covers the ground In such manner
that the only open spaces are small
spots scattered irregularly here and
there. A search under the overhang-
ing masses Of long grass blades
showed . perfect network Of large
runways tunneling through the bases
Of the tussocks, and passing from one
10 another under the shelter Of the
outcarving masses Of leaves.
ut was evident that the rabbits were
very numsrous here, and we all pro-
ceeded TO hunt the vicinity carefully
for them. Upon the hrst day Of this
sort of work saw three, but was un-
able to get shot 1t them. One came
running through the grass along one
Of the hidden trails and seeing me

eight feet away. II was too near to
shoot, and 10 II escaped after looking
At me with inqsiring eyes for few

shot one by taking stand on large
