We are told, but all warnings do
not tnrn out true, that we may ex-
pect a shortage" soon in the supply
of perhaps the most popular Of all
our cage birds - the gray parrot
which comes from the West Coast of
Africa. 1t is curious and at first
sight very paradoxical, but the reason
why we are likely to be short of par
rots is that the time of the voyage
from the West Coast to Liverpool or
Bristol has been so greatly shortened.
The cause does not seem, in the alb
sence of explanation, to fit the effect,
but the actual explanation is simple:
it is that the parrots. coming from a
much warmer climate than ours, ar
rived in the old days by slow and
gradual stages into the colder atmos-
phere; they had far more time to be,
come acclimatized. Now, with the
swift passage Of modern steamers,
they are plunged from the hot into
the cold with all the swift shock of a
Turkish bath. The result is in a very
large majority of cases fatal. Lon

The President Determined.

Washington, D. C.-That President
Roosevelt has taken a determined in
terest with view to finding legisla-
tive remedy for the car shortage in
the Northwest, which now threatens
the people with freezing and starva-
tion because the railroads are unable
to transport fuel and food to them,
was indicated by conference at the
White House. The President sent for
Senator Hansbrough and asked him
whether the actual danger is as great
as has been reported by press dis
patches and kilograms from indi-
viduals
The North Dakota Senator re-
ported that from dispatches he has
received the statement of conditions
in his State, Minnesota and South Da-
kota has not been exaggerated. Tie
President promised to give the cues
tion his personal attention with
view to alleviating any immediate
suffering, and said he desired Senator
Hansbrough to devote time and
thought to some remedy to avoid a
recurrence of present conditions.

pie hold stocks. bonds and other like

Philadelphia prints more than one
quarter OF all the music in the United
States, and the total amount of it is
six times as great as it was fifteen
years ago. But, while Europe shows
no such increase as that. this coun-
try's total output is still less than
half that Of Leipsic, Germany, and
less than that Of several other Eu-
ropean cities. In this city the
amount of instrumental music print
ed used to exceed that of vocal music.
This was due. it is said. to the cheap

the popularity OF banjo and guitar
music, Now, however, the banjo. at

Minneapolis, MINI The second
day Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission inquiry into Northwest trans
portation conditionsbrought out facts
of first importance relative to the
effects upon the country Of the grain
blockade. The commission had given
over the first day largely to the fuel
inquiry, with the idea of relieving dis
tress, and to this end had sent out
kilograms Of inquiry to many points
asking as to the coal supply and how
long it would last.
kilograms began to pour in and
when representatives were in from
over twenty towns it was clear that
the commission had acted none too
quickly in securing the promise of
cooperation on the part of the coal
companies and the railroads in reliev-
ing distress, for in some localities
farmers have been burning their
fences and outbuildings, and in other
towns piles of valuable lumber were
cut up into fuel to keep people from
freezing.
The farmers got into the inquiry
later. They came in numbers from
North Dakota and told the commits
sion the story of the effect of the
blockade upon the price of wheat.
They said prices have been depressed
abnormally because elevators were
full; that wheat lay on the ground
at many points; that there was no
open market and the farmers had
either to sacrifice in price or haul
the wheat back home again after
having offered it, in some cases two
or three times.
e. j. Weiser, vice-president of the
First National Bank, of Fargo; A. e.
Swenson, president of the Security
State Bank, Of Barlow, and other
North Dakota bankers and farmers,
gave testimony to show that failure
to move the crops put the country
commercially in straitened condi-
tions Farmers who had ample
means to meet all obligations If they
had been able to turn the product
into cash could not market their
grain, and so the effect was felt all
along the line.
The commission gave much atten-
ton to car service and competing and
non-competitive points. also to
further testimony respecting time in
transit on shipments Many more
instances of cars in transit for a
month or more, over short haul,
were offered.
The commission expressed itself as
startled at some of the reports sent to
it, upon inquiry. from localities bare
of fuel, and said that the inquiry had
opened up much new information and
has so far shown a situation more
serious in every respect than they
had expected to find when they de-
cided to begin the investigation.

FORTUNE GIVEN TO CHARITY.
Decisions in Yerkes and shipman
Cases Libcrate $1O,OOO,OO0.

Chicago. The decision of Judge
Walter H. Sanborn, of the United
States Circuit Court, in the Charles
7. Yerkes case and the will of Daniel
B. Shipman. throws about 100000
600 OF the estate of wealthy Chica-
goans into the scales OF charity.
In the Yerkes case Judge Sanborn
held that the $5,O0O.000 in bonds of
the Chicago Consolidation Traction
Company, which is said to constitute
half OF the Yerkes estate, was not the
property of the underlying compa-
MES. This decision leaves the execu-
tors Of the Yerkes estate in a position
to proceed at once with the erection
OF the hospital and art gallery at
New York, and enables Mrs. Yerkes-
Miner to begin the construction of a
hospital at Chicago.
