Henry Z. Payne Seriously Ill.

Postmaster General Henry G..
Payne has been seriously i'll since
Wednesday night with heart
trouble. DR.. Magruder, his ply
stefan, who has been with him
constantly, is still in attendance,
and the closest vigil is maintained
at the bedside. Private Secretary
Francis Whitney is constantly at
the house.
Mrs. Cameron of Jamestown, N.
Y, Mr.. Payne's sister and only near
relative; Winfield Cameron of Mil
waukee, son of Mrs. Cameron, and
Miss. Louise Jones, niece of Mrs.
Payne, who is in Milwaukee, have
been sent for. kilograms we're also
sent to a number of Mr.. Payne's
personal friends in Milwaukee, stat
ing the sudden and serious turn
taken in his illness.
The sudden and alarming symp-
toms which developed Wednesday
night were surprise to Mrs. Payne
and the physicians, particularly in
view of the fact that he had been
attending to his duties at the de-
partment and at cabinet meetings
up to Thursday. So severe was the
attack upon him that his attending
nhvSician. DIR. q T, Macorudar
who has been Mr.. Payne's physician
for some time past, issued the fol-
lowing statement.
''The postmaster general has not
been feeling well for several days.
Recently decided symptoms of heart
trouble have developed. They were
serious during the night and early
portions of today. He is respond
ing to the remedies employed, and
is resting easier tonight"

EGGS WILL BE HIGH.
Commission Men Predict that Hen
Fruit Will Be Expensive this Winter.

Commission men state the highest
price ever known for eggs is in
sight for this winter and before the
LAY" of the hen is known again
next spring housewives will have
paid as high as soc per dozen for
the product of the hen. The fact
that corner practically exists in
storage eggs and that these were
secured at the highest prices ever
paid for storage eggs is given as
the basis of calculation.
At the present time commission
men are paying 1919 for eggs, and
the best are being retailed at zoe.
All during the spring and summer
when eggs usually go less than 124c
per dozen the price has never gone
lower than 15c and has held most
of sthe time at 1Sc and zoe. Brief
periods of high prices have hereto
fore been known when snowbound
roads and disinclined hens have
caused prices to go very high buG
never before has the long con-
tinued high price been maintained
During the latter part of March
and April and early May when
storage men usually buy eggs at
low prices, there were no eggs
bought less than 15c and the MAORI
ty of the eggs now in storage were
bought at 19c. The smaller COM
mission firms withdrew from the
market early because Of the high
price, fearing that there would be
little or no profit in buying for
storage at such prices. The big
firms. such as Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Priebe & Simature,
the Monarch Cold Storage company
and the Western Cold Storage COM
pany, continued in the market and
paid the highest prices for storage
eggs ever known. In one week
Swift & Co., paid out So, 900, 900 for
eggs. AS a result these firms
practically control the egg market
and it is not likely that they will
unload at any low figure.
1.-THE consumption of eggs is in
creasing more and more every
year." said a commission man.
Especially is this true while meat
is high, and this summer the meat
strike has induced many people to
stop eating meat, and they turn to
eggs as a substitute. 1t is my OPP
inion that the highest prices ever
paid for eggs will be along about
January or FEBRUARY, 1905, when
the storage eggs must be drawn
upon for the supply, and the firms
which control the market will be
almost able to dictate the price.
Even the big commission firms
almost had cold feet last spring,
and feared that they were going to
lose money on storage eggs, but
when they saw the smaller firms
withdrawing from the market they
began buying with all their might
to get control of the market and
they did"

MOROCCO STILL A
THORN FOR EUROPE
France and Spain Negotiate
for ssPacific Penetration
Agreement.

MADRID, March 19-The British
government has declined to negotiate
with France regarding Morocco, until
France can complete arrangements
concerning Moroccan affairs with
Spain. Hence, when the pending An
glo-French treaty is published 1t will
be found that the status of Morocco,
so long one of Europe's most thorny
problems, remains unchanged.
The action of the British foreign
minister, Lord Lansdowne, has created
keen satisfaction in official circles and
is regarded as strengthening SPANS
position both in European and African
spheres.
Pourparlers are now proceeding here
and at Paris with a view of reaching
an agreement in regard to what is
neatly termed the degree of pacific
penetration which the respective
powers shall be granted in their indus
trial invasion of Morocco. One diff
Guilty is the French desire to secure
port on the western coast. Spain in
sists upon retaining Ceuta; and in the
event Of a Franco Spanish agreement
being reached, Great Britain is to be
guaranteed her existing trading rights
on the northern coast The present
policy of Spain is to sustain the sultan.
It is understood here that the life
long desire of Jules Cambon has been
to settle finally the Moroccan question,
he regarding it as vital to French col
onial policy. His brother Paul, the
French ambassador in London, is
equally interested.

POWER CRUMBLES LOSS IS TOO HEAVY
French Premier Is Being I'm
dermined by Socialists.

p PARIS, March 19-The situation of
Premier Combes' ministry is gradually
becoming precarious, as a result of Its
recent parliamentary reverses. 1t is
not considered that any immediate
crisis will occur, but even the best in
formed government quarters describe
the ministry as gradually crumbling
away.
The gradual sapping of M. Combes'
strength is not due to the pending law
suppressing all forms Of congrega-
tional teaching, as his majorities have
been steadily maintained on that cues
tion, but is mainly due to socialist
measures for workingmen's pensions
and employment agencies. 1t is said
he will be able to pass the law Of con-
gregations about Easter, and with this
principal work accomplished, it is not
expected that he will wish to remain
in office. The names Of NM. Milleraffd
and Etienne are the most often. men
toned in connection with the possible
reorganization of the ministry.
