HIGH PRICES AND DEMAND.

UNDOUBTEDLY T lie HIGH
prices Of cereals in this country IS
largely caused by the troubles thar are
aow going on in Russia, ana by the
further fact that In a large PORTION Of
that vas empire the people are IN a
famished condition.
Russia as rule one OF the most
formidable competitors Of this country
in the European markets, but several
things have worked against her being
so formidable he present year
The war in the far east, Of course.
diverted a good deal Of the crops Of
Russia to that section, TO gay nothing
of the fact that a great many Of her
farmers were doing soldier duty over
there. The latter consideration how
eve. was insign ficant compared with
what figure it would have cut in al
most any ether country. because Of
tho tremendous population Of Russia,
and particularly the rural population.
But during the later stages of the
war and since there mas been a revo
luti0n 10 Russia that caused great dis
urhanee in trade as in everything
else
This has been complicated of late
by the great railroad strike. which
prevented the transportation of these
cereals from interior points to ports
from whence they could be shipped
10 The markets OF the world
Even ii the political matters are
now settled it is NOT likely that this
year the compett on OF Russia will
cut much figure, as she will be kept
busy supplying her own famine strick-
en- people
Tho American producer and ship
per is the gamer by all these things,
and in effect the American farmer has
perhaps been one of the greatest gain
ers by the war in the far east and the
complications that have gr wn out OF
hat struggle
The fact tha there Is liberal mar

Her embarrassment. was evident and

Secretary and his two daughters
Tell me what to say and how 10 say
it" she whispered TO the Secretary as
he shook hands With her.
With ready wit he responded: Say
tie same things that people say TO
you Then listen closely"
The girl did as she was hidden.
When people said, How DO sou do
she replied, How do you do?' When
they said. so glad to see sou, she
simply repeated the formula. One
after another of the sentences she
managed to stumble through And as
She went along ease began 10 come to
her and she noticed that people con
yersod with her. She said so little
and listened So mu,h. AZ tho close OF

Of hearing some one say. What a

THE ISLE or PINES.

THERE is A GOOD DEAL OF lG-
nCrance on the subject of the status
of The Isle of Pines, especially since
the is. uance Of a sort Ct manifesto by
| the American residents Of the island,
There seems 10 be an Impression
that the Isle really belong TO Cuba,
and has been part OF the assets Of
the island republic and that these
American resi- cnts are endeavoring
to gel the American government TO
wrest the same nom the domains Of
Presidenl Palma.
AS a matter of fact such is not the
case. The Isle Of Pines does mt
belong to Cuba, and never did
1t was one Of he islands held by
Spain. just as Cuba and Porto Rico
were held. The affairs OF the Isle of
Pines under the Spanish -ule were con
Quoted from Havana bccau.e thar was
the nearest post OF Spanish govern |
ment, bur it was no more a part Of |
Cuba than was the island Of Porto |
Rico
When The treaty with Spain was
negotiated the Isle Of Pines was ceded
TO The United States, anal it was left
to the government to determine wheth
er it should belong to Spain of the
United States.
Under The impression that 1t would
be made a part of the United States,
many Americans settled there aud
bought property, who would not have
lone so but for this belief
II has been the policy Of both the
Mckinley and the Roosevelt admins
raions TO turn the island over to
'uba, and a treaty TO that effect has
zen negotiated but il has never been
atifei by the senate, and hence to
II intents and purposes, and until
hat treaty is ratified, the Isle of
ines Is a part of the United States,
r couples ju the position in which /,
10 treaty with Spa LEFT it.
There is therefore nothing pre-
imptuous In the Americans who have
cquired vast property rights in the
land putting in their plea for being
lowed to remain American citizens. r
here is no reason why they should /
d do so. The ofense is not against :
Re law eff nations, but if anything, r
