DID NOT DISTURB LONDON.
News Arrived Too Late to Affect
stock Market.


London, March 26.-The news of Mr..
Rhodes death reached London too late
to excite comment either on the Stock
Exchange or in the afternoon newspa-
pers. The bulletin announcing his de-
mise, which was sent from Cape Town
at 6:35 p. m, reached the newspaper of
fees just as the final editions were GO
ing to press. Some of the half-penny
sheets soon turned out posters an
nouncing the event but a number of
last editions did not contain even the
bare announcement of Mr.. Rhodes
death.
Throgmorton street was deserted
when the news arrived, so there was
not even a fiutter in the curb market.
The "tickers'' soon disseminated the
news in the clubs and hotels, where it
formed the main topic of conversa-
ton, but the event had been so thor
oughly discounted that it can hardly
be said to have created a ripple of ex-
element

Duke Said to Have Made an Offer
for French Tobacco Monopoly.
London, March 26.-The local repre-
sentatives of the American Tobacco
Company took an important step this
morning toward gaining the support
of the wholesale dealers, practically
promising the latter per cent. profit
on all deals with them. The CHAIR
man of the Wholesale Tobacco Dealers
Association says that unless the I'M
perial Tobacco Company meets them
in a similar spirit, there will be a bad
outlook for the British tobacco trust
A rumor is again in circulation here
to the effect that j. B. Duke, president
of the American Tobacco Company, is
negotiating with the French govern
ment with a view of taking over its
tobacco MONOPOLY The American, it
is said. offers to deposit a sum guaran-
teeing for five years a profit consider
ably in excess of the present returns.
1t is pointed out that if such prop
osition was ever advanced it was quite
impossible of realization. Tobacco is
one of the chief sources of French
revenue and shows an enormous an
nual increase. Apart from this, the
monopoly furnishes those in power with
an endless means of repaying political
debts and any transfer of the monopoly
would Immediately convert thousands
of employees into opponents OF the gov
eminent.

On Thunder Mt. Trail.

Frank Hubbard writes from the
Meadows that 2 people left there the
morning of the Sd for Thunder Mt.
and there were then about SO horses
on the trail. He also said he had 5
carpenters working on his hotel. A
later report says some warm rainy
weather had softened the snow and
animals experienced great difficulty
in travelling For the next two weeks,
if usual conditions prevail, there will
be good crust over which horses
can travel before the final breakup
While the snow is soft, following the
last crust there will be period of
three weeks or more when travel will
be impossible during a large part OF
the day, but animals can travel at
nights and in the early morning.
