FOOD FAMINE.
In War Great Britain Would Be In
Great Peril from Starvation.

Washington, April 1.-The United
States government has been advised by
its representatives in Great Britain
that the liveliest interest is being taken
in that country in the question of food
supply in time Of war.
So dependent is Great Britain upon
the United States and other agricul-
turul countries for its breadsutffs and
meat supplies, that in case Of war be.
tween Great Britain and another great
power there would be danger of famine,
not in London only, but throughout the
whole OF the United Kingdom. Stats.
ticians point out this danger in a very
striking manner.
During the five years from 1852 to
1857, which included the period of the
Crimean war, England imported wheat
and flour to the amount OF 26 per cent
of her total consumption. In the five
years from 1896 to 1901 she imported
IS per cent. In other words, the acre
age annually devoted to wheat raising
in England has been gradually decreas-
ing since the middle of the last century
and is today only about half what il
was then. Or, to state the proposition
in another way, England, during her
former period raised about -fourths
Of her breadstuffs while today she
raises only one fourth.
The Boer war increased the sense OF
insecurity growing out OF the situation
Just described. Had Great Britain been
involved in war with Germany during
that trouble, as at times there was
great danger, the result to her home
population would have been most disas-
trOus.
During the late winter, it is reported
to the government in Washington that
number of meetings have been held
in England for the purpose of devising
ways and means for the better protec-
ton of the food supply in time of war,
and the fact that these meetings have
been attended by the most prominent
men OF the country, from cabinet min
listers and members of the houses OF
lords and commons, down to the repre-
sentatives of the leading men in the
several trades, indicates that the feel
ing of insecurity is widespread.
The public agitation was commenced
by men promin in the grain trade,
who were naturally the first to see the
danger. Following their public ex.
preston of alarm, public meeting
was held at Stafford house, London. in
February on the invitation of the Duke
of Sutherland, to promote an official in
quiry into the matter. AS a result OF
this meeting conference was held be-
tween the prime minister and COM
mittee representing all the leading in
terests OF the country.
The resul: of these formal confer
ences has been thorough awakening
Of the English people to the dangers
that will threaten them in case OF war
with rival na"al power. Several sug-
gestions have been made looking to a
relieving OF the situation. All of them
obviously point to an increase OF the
home acreage in wheat and to larger
production of beef cattle.

HIS VERY BUSY DAY.
President Leads Very Strenuous
Life During His Stay
at Chicago.

Chicago, April 2.-President Roose-
welt fired the first gun of his next cam
pa;gn at the Auditorium tonight, in
the shape of a speech on the Monroe
doctrine. 1t sounded the close of the
busiest day the chief magistrate has
seen for many moons. From the time
his train bowled into Chicago, at $40
a., M, until he gave voice to his ideas
on our foreign policy, he was the
strenuous life personified. When
he reached the city he was only the
president of the nation; when he left it
he was doctor of laws as we'll, for
during the afternoon that title was con.
ferred upon him by Chicago university,
the institution whose magnificent walls
OF stone have been builded by John D..
Rockefeller and his millions. The pres
ident spoke to >the students of the
Standard Oil institution, and laid the
corner stone of their new school of law,
visited the Northwestern university,
where he spoke to the pupils of that
great college; attended luncheon at
the Auditorium annex earlier in the
dav, and rode in a carriage over nearly
score of miles OF Chicago's boule.
wards.
Early as it is in his great tour, he is
already hearing echoes of his lately
enunciated marry and multiply" doc
trine. At Northwestern university a
hearty laugh greeted his remark about
the number OF children he saw about
HIM "Oh, we've got lots OF others at
home, came voice from the crowd.
well, | like the samples you have
here,' he replied, and the general
laugh became a shout.

ment at Tacoma Follows.

Seattle, April 1.-The big street cal
strike has been settled. The strikers
decided at So % yesterday afternoon tC
return to work, accepting the compa-
ny's offer VITO submit to arbitration the
question OF seniority. The vote to
return TO work was practically unani-
nous, only about 25 of the 600 in the
hall when the vote was taken, holding
out.
Much credit for the settlement of the
strike is due to the efforts of James B.
Meikle, secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce. Mr.. Meikle spoke for about
an hour previous to the vote. None OF
the other members of the business
mems committee spoke. 1t was the
sentiment of many OF the street car men
VINO heard Mr.. Meikle, that his speech
caused revolution of sentiment and
won the men over by an overwhelming
majority to adopt the proposition made
by the company.
The men went to work almost imme-
diately after the close of the meeting,
and by 6 O'Clock most of the cars were
running.
