Quesada, of Cuba, in an interview
on conditions in the island said:
mot only is the island tranquil from one
end to the other, but the people are deter

much their suffering, because they know
that internal disorder means the sacrifice
of Cuban independence. l am not now
speaking from mere conjecture, I know
that all the prominent generals in every
section of the island have communicated
to President Palma their purpose to uphold
his administration. The governors of all
the provinces have reported to President
Palma that their localities are free from
disorder.
There is naturally pessimistic feeling
in the island because of the failure of reci-
procity legislation. Believing, however,
that reciprocity is only delayed, and not
permanently denied, We hope to success
fully tide over the period of suffering which
must elapse until reciprocity is granted.

BUCKET SHOPS LOSE.
Decision of Judge Hook. of United
States Court, in Favor of Chi
caEO Board of Trade.

Kansas City, Mo-, July s.-Judge
Hook, in the United States court,
Monday, in handing down suit
brought by the Chicago board of
trade against the Christie Grand and
Stock company, of Kansas City, to
prevent the use of the Chicago
boards quotation, neld against the
bucket shop on almost every point.
An appeal to the United States SUI
preme court will be taken. In it's
suit filed year ago the Chicago
board of trade claimed a proprietary
right in it's quotations and under the
new bucket shop law sought to COM
pei grain spectators in different
states to pay for the use of them.
The Christie company fought the case
on the ground that the Chicago board
of trade was itself bucket shop
without standing, and further that
it's quotations were public property.
The suit was in the form of an appli-
cation by the board of trade for a
temporary Injunction.
