FIRST CLASS ANIMALS
ARE IN GOOD DEMAND
Extra Good Kinds Are Worth More but
the "Betv,ixt and Between"
Grades Declined.

The Kansas City Drovers' Telegram re-
ports much activity In horses. In referring
to Wednesdays market that paper says:
Today was chunk" day at the horse
barns, and In anticipation Of the usual
good supply Of extra heavy stock that is
offered on Wednesday, all Of Yesterdays
buyers were on hand today. The auction
started little earlier this morning, the
sale beginning at $3.50 About $50 head
were tagged for the ring, and included in
this number was liberal proportion Of de.
sirablc heavy weight stock. The auction
started out with n rush, buyers competing
strongly among themselves Eastern and
local buyers were pittcd against each other
Tor many of the choiccr offerings and the
home men secured most Of the plums An
extra chunk on the express order sold for
S22l and gray yauuer with plenty OF
quality brought $40. Medium weight driv-
ers sold up To $3lj pair.
The "retwiXt and between" grades Of
horses have lost much Of their strength
this week. During the early half of the
month they advanced considerably, but
buyers are beginning to insist ON concrs-
slons. All first class animals are in better
favor than ever and In the case OF heavy
horses, have advanced Il little the past
few days.

"GOd Decided. " Said De Vet.

London, June 1G.-The total Of
Beers who have already surrendered
is $1,000. The appearance OF Cen
eral DeWet at the campat Windburg
was the signal for cheers. When he
arrived at camp, General DeWet was
at once surrounded by thousands of
Boer men, women and children, who
struggled and clamored to shake the
hand OF their hero. General DeWet
mounted table and spoke. He
warmly applauded the staunch sup
port that the women had given the
burghers during the war which, he
said, had greatly encouraged the
men in he field. Continuing, he rec
commended his hearers to be loyal to
the new government, and said:
Perhaps it is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth, but God has
decided thus. | fought until there
was no hope of unfolding our cause,
and however it may be, the time has
now come to lay down our arms. As
Christians, God now demands that
we be faithful to our new govern
ment Let us submit to his decision"
Neither General DeWet nor Mr..
Steyn, ex-president OF the old Orange
Free State, was wounded in the war.
General DeNet had not seen his wife
for two years.

WHITE HOUSE INTERIOR.
Workmen Soon to he Set mt Work to
Restore the Colonial Effects Of
the Original Mansion.

Notwithstanding the protest from
people all over the country against
changes being made in the interior of
the white house the old mansion will
evidently soon be filled with work
men. Mr.. Charles u. Mekim, the
architect from New York, who was
chosen by the president to go over
the matter with him, went all over
the white house with a view to map
ping out such changes and repairs as
are needed. 1t is necessary to make
some estimate of the work before
the appropriation is made. and the
matter of change is still in embryo,
but enough has been decided upon to
transform the white house into 4
substantial colonial mansion of the
period in which it was built. No
president who has in the past found
1t necessary to remodel or renovate
the white house has had in mind
keeping it strictly to the period in
which it was built until the mat
ident Roosevelt. Modern works of
art and modern furniture and
modern decoration have taken
the place of the colonial effects
without an effort at preserving the
original. What has been done at
Mount Vernon will be done at the
white house. The modern stained
glass in the front hall will be re-
moved, leaving the stately proper
portions of the hall untouched by
throwing what is now the vestibule
and the red corridor into one. Some
modern mantels of inferior outline
will be replaced by those copied after
the fine ones in some of the first
floor rooms. The effort of the presi.
dent will be to preserve and not de-
stroy the historic value of the house.

SHOWS PHENOMENAL GROWTH
Interesting Figures Regarding the
Commerce Between the United
states and Porto Rico.

Commerce between the United States
and Porto Rico is increasing with phe-
nOmenal rapidity, especially since the
removal of all tariff restrictions in
July of last year. Our purchases from
Porto Rico are nearly three times as
great as the average during the clos
ing five years of Spanish rule in the
island. while the shipments from>the
United States to Porto Rico are five
times as great as the average during
the five years preceding the termina-
ton Of Spanish rule. The receipts of
merchandise from Porto Rico at the
ports Of the United States now range
between 100000 and SGOOO.C0O an
nually. and the shipments to Porto
Rico. which were about $1.000.010 in
the last fiscal year, seem likely to be
SlOOOO,O0O in the present fiscal year
ending June 80.
This rapid growth in the movements
Of commerce between the ports If the
United States and Porto Rico Is pre-
sented by statement just prepared
by the treasury bureau of statistics,
which shows that the shipments of do
nestle merchandise from the United
States TO Porto Rico in the eight
months ending with February amount
ed to s6.ss7.a52. indicating that for the
full fiscal year the total shipments Of
domestic and foreign goods from the
ports 81 the United States to Porto
Rico will aggregate about S10000,oo0.
The exports from the United States to
Porto Rico during the five years end
ing with lS9S averaged less than 50 ,OC0.-
900 per annum, and thus Justify the as
sertion that our shipments of mer-
chandise during the present year to
Porto Rico seem likely to he as much
-as in the entire FIVE years ending with
1895. Over four-fifths Of the merchan-
disc now brought into Porto Rico is
drawn from the United States, and a
little over half Of the merchandise
shipped from that island is sent to the
United states. The total value Of
goods shipped from the island in the
eight months ending with February
was $5,7>7,Gl9, and of this sum $3,OlG,-
2j>, or - per cent, was TO the United
States. The total value Of the mer-
chandise received into the island dur
inT The same peri0d was SS,I1J,0tS, OF
which $6,s>7.0j2, or - per cent, was
from the United States.

WOMAN is SUPERIOR.
So Says French Lecturer When Dis
cussing Our Social Development.
Thinks That the Chances for Matri-
mOny Are Lessened by the Higher
Education of the American
Women,

Women in the United States, through
higher education. have reached a plane
of intellectual and social superiority
above the men, and thereby have
brought about condition in which
.hey have To look to each other for
intellectual companionship, according
to Hughes lie Roux, the French lee
turer and author, who delivered the
first of a series of lectures at the Uni
versity of Chicago the other after
noon. For this reason, he says, they
have lessened their chances for we'd
ded bliss because the men stand in awe
of their superiority.
NJ. lie Roux, started to lecture on
"The Social Condition of the Women
of Northern France, as Painted by
Froubert." While speaking of the
women of his own country he gave his
opinion of those of America.
"Your country" he said, "is now in
the second stage of its educational and
social development. That is, your
women are now the intellectual and
social superiors Of their male associ-
ates. They are aristocrats. while the
men are democrats. In Frame the
men and the women are upon the same
plane. They are all democrats"
Then came the statement that the
women are too superior for the men
to marry. at is because the women
are So far superior to the men socially
that the number of marriages is
becoming smaller" he declared. The
women are better educated than the
men and they devote more time to he
coming cultured. Becoming so they
need things which the men do not
feel they can afford to give them. \
wife becomes luxury to the wage
earning American. Her cultivated
tastes cost more money than he feels
he can spend. The result Of that is
that the men Join clubs and seek the
coml>any of their fellows. The women

MILLIONS IN A SATCHEL.
How Bank Cashier of New York
City Transferred the Funds Of

When Alfred II. Curtis, the cashier
of the National Bank of North
America, left his office in New York
the other morning he carried with
him a large satchel, which probably
contained more hard cash than any
other satchel of similar kind ever
held. There was considerably more
than S4,000.000 in the bag. in hills of
all denominations and other currency
of the realm. This rich load was
safely carried to the new temporary
headquarters of the bank, which aft

to the police station, but was merely
notified by two officers to appear in

Of violating the speed law. Senator
Clark's committeeman is in the Malt
by building. which is located just north
of the capitol grounds. When he
reached this building the other morn
ing two policemen mounted on bicycles
accosted the senator and informed him
he had Violated the speed law and
would be expected to defend himself
in the police court in the morning.

tested. He said he was satisfied he
had not exceeded the legal speed and
that he had not gone faster than ten
miles an hour. The policemen insist.

The Montana millionaire said he had
considerable experience in running
automobiles andwas perfectly compe-

officers as unwarrantcd. and he pro-

The automobile in which Senator
Clark was riding is one of the finest in

British Admiralty System is Rotten.

London, June 20.-During the dis
cussion OF the navy estimates in the
House OF Commons to-day, Rear Ad.
miral Lord Charles Beresford, Con-
sentative, scathingly criticised the
Deficiencies of the navy. He declar-
ed the whole admiralty system was
rotten and led to great extrava-
gance, and that there was general
want OF efficiency in the navy, ON
which depended the existence of the
Empire.
This was the Judgment of all the
commissions OF inquiry and had been
proven fact. Every increase in the
number of ships and every improve
ment in them had been the result of
outside agitation. As result of
such agitation the British Mediter-
ranean fleet was now a fourth strong
er than year ago.
1t is remarkable, Lord Beresford
added, that both army and navy of.
ficers are compelled to resign in order
to get things righted Great Britain
has only 10000 naval reserves in
stead of the requisite $4,000, and
the engine-room departments are
thousands of men short. As 10
armament, both the United States
ard France possess superior guns.
Blunders will continue, he said. un-
til a separate business board is an.
pointed at the admiralty and made
responsible for the efficiency of the
fleet Treasury control is fatal to
efficiency. As an instance, the speak.
erpointed out the case of Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, who, when Chan.
cellor of the Exchequer, put his pen
through the ammunition supplies af.
ter the guns had been ordered.

Laid 1t on the Table.

Washington, June 15.-The feature
OF the session of the house yesterday
was the attempt OF MIR. Hay, of Vir-
ginia, to secure the adoption of a
resolution calling upon the secretary
of war for information as to the cost
from all sources OF the war in the
Philippines. The resolution had been
referred to the committee on insular
affairs, not having been acted upon
within the time limit prescribed by
the rules, became privileged. When
Mr.. Hay called it up, Mr.. Crumpack-

the table and his motion prevailed
by PARTY vote, 81 to6G. The latter

private pension legislation, 1919 bills
being passed.
