Paris, April g. - Foreign Minister
Delcasse made significant speech in
the senate this afternoon evidently
designed to meet questions arising in
connection with the visit of Emperor
William today. The minister spoke
with moderation, but his closing de-
claration that resistance in interested
quarters would not cause France to
modify her policy brought out vigor-
ous applause.
g Frances Moroccan policy, M.
Delcasse said, g continues on the same
conditions as it was begun. The sui
tanS weakness and the anarchy re-
suting from it were prejudicial to ev-

Algeria. We had to seek a remedy
for the intolerable situation without
allowing our action to awaken the
buspiciCns of other nations. France
does not Spretend to base her interests
on disregard for the interests of 9th

that France possesses a special stand

EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.

In the six years Of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent,
and clothing 24.1. All these were prod
ucts Of the farmer and stockman who
profited more than any other class Of
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from .79S per ton
mile in 1897 to 1853 in 1903, loss
of IA per cent. The report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
of railroad employees in the period was
trife above S.5 per cent.

HART RECEIVED DECISION.
Fought Twenty Round Bout With Col.
ered Fighter.

Woodward's Pavilion, San Fran
cisco, March 30.-Marvin Hart was
awarded the decision over Jack John
son in a twenty-round contest that
went the limit but he was far from
demonstrating that he is qualified to
meet Jim Jefiries. Hart was as badly
punished man as has been seen in
the ring for a long time, but he was
game to the core and kept boring in
to the big colored man all through
the fight. Johnson's much-vaunted
cleverness did not count for much.
While he was able to hit Hart fire.
Quently, his blows did not seem to
damage the white man from Ken
lucky. The sympathies of the large
crowd were openly with Hart, who
was the short-ender in the betting,
and every lead he made at Johnson,
whether he landed or not, was greet
ed with yells Of Joy. Hart did man
age to deal the only effective blow in
the eleventh round, when he landed
right swing on Johnson's jaw that
staggered the black man and nearly
knocked him over.
Referee Greggians stated that he
gave the decision to Hart because all
through the fight Hart did all the
forcing and leading.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of
Kansas City mother is case in
point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from
child, and thought could not eat
meal without it. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years | had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart.
to which was added two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born 7 months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it
from me!

of more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk, have since
ascertained that it really dries up the

Now we all drink Postum from my

hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank. Name given

economic point of view all nations
have an equal footing there. The
French-Spanish agreement confirms
these views. The terms of the Anglo
French treaty were Immediately COM
municated to the Sultan; of this fact
the issue of the Morocco loan by
France is proof. If France sought
pretext for Intervention one existed
in the disturbed state of the Algerian
frontier. However, from friendship
for Morocco and a clear conception
of her own interests, France merely
pointed out the necessity for estab-
fishing order. That position we still
hold.
1.-The resistance of parties interest
ed in maintaining the present anar'
chial condition of affairs leaves nc
room for illusion. But that will not
modify our policy. Morocco is aware
both of our good will and of our
strength, and also that we do not seek
to expand a maturely thought out pro,
gram of Moroccan policy. 1t, there
fore, appears that France will succeed
in assuring it's future in the west.

WONDERS OF THE OCEAN.
Natures Perfect Arrangement for Pre-.
servaton of Fish Life.


Naturally the fish of the deep por-
tions are carnivorous, no vetetable life
being found below 200 fathoms,'
writes wv. S. Harwood. in Harper's
Magazine. In the Atlantic Ocean the
vast Sargasso sea, containing three
millions of square miles of surface
a great marine prairie as large as the
whole of the United States exclusive
of Alaska and independent islands
affords vegetable food for uncountable
animals, which, in their due time, die
and are preciptated to the depths,
their bodies in turn to be eaten by the
animals which live far below all veg
citation. So it is throughout the whole
ocean; animal life is constantly falling
from the surface waters for the sup
port of the animal life of the abyss.
A very large number of the deep sea
animals are exceedingly tenuous or
translucent in form-so to put it-hav-
ing no special forms of nutrition, but
taking in their nourishment through
the walls of their bodies, appropriating
from the water food that suits them.
Some of them have bony structure,

the water, silica and carbonate of lime
being the chief skeleton-forming ma
