Horses Still in Demand.

Happily the horse has faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
OF the fact that the automobile indus,

dertalting The demand for horses is
still great. The supply of some
classes of them is inadequate. The

NATIONS IN ACCORD
England, France, and Spain
in TFipartite Agreement.
RELATES TO MEDITERRANEAN
Move Believed to be Long Step
Toward Peace on Inland Sea and
So ms 10 Greet Hague COnferees.
Verified by Government OmcisIs.

Paris, June 1.-THE news Of an accord
between France. England, and Spain re-
garding matters in the Mediterranean,
which, after its first publication. was
denied and then reaffirmed. is to-day eX-
planned at length.
IL is announced as one more important
guarantee of peace. The announcement
II appears has been timed for the NOR
row, at the assembling of The Hague
conference. which NAV explain the denial
Of the first premature publication. This
accord, which, in effect is tripartite al
though specifically recorded in separate
treaties, is regarded in various quarters
as calculated 90 discourage German ag-
gression and as the logical sequence Of
King Edwards initiative in seeking a
solution Of the Moroccan question.
The brief official announcement to-day
was ampifed by the Temps. which Is
close to the government. by direct inter
views with NJ. Pichon, minister Of foreign
affairs, and the Spanish Ambassador. The
interviews appear clearly to have been
given through a mutual understanding.
and are supplemented by the announce
ment that the French and Spanish Am
bassadors at Berlin. St. Petersburg,
Washington. Rome. Vienna. and Tokyo
communicated on Saturday to those gov
ernments the text OF the Franco-Spanish
agreement, while the English and Span
ish Ambassadors at the same capitals
communicated simultaneously the terms
Of the analogous Anglo-Spanish under
standings.
Arrangement is the exact word chosen
in each instance 90 describe these ac-
cords, and the semi-inspired account
emphasizes that they are not a tripartte
but two separate agreements, purely
diplomatic, not accompanied by a military
convention. and not containing secret
clauses. The object Is the maintenance
Of the status quo in the Mediterranean
and Atlantic interest OF the three.
NJ. PiChOn says that France originated
tho negotiations with Spain. who ap-
proved, and on her own initiative began
similar negotiations with England. He
adds that such arrangements are the best
guarantees Of peace conceivable. ami
hopes they viii be received everywhere
with satisfaction.
The Spanish Ambassador SAYS that the
solution Of the Moroccan affair formed a
solid foundation on which this edihce OF
peace has been constructed. II was
natural TO expand the entente thus es-
tablished.

Prof Brashear said:
The spots are much smaller than those

are very beautiful and interesting, This
afternoon I could see great bridges Of
flame on the larger spot The position Of
the spots Is such that they will have no

so low that any projections would hardly
affect us The spots have passed the
suns meridian about two days, and
should be discernible for at least three
days more"
Prof. Brashear stated that the spots are
so large they can be observed through
smoked glass. without the aid Of any
Astronomical instruments. The size Of

The men insist upon arbitrating the
question Of an increase in wages or moth
ing. If the packers wish to arbirate the

fuse. and the situation again viii become
critical.
This is not thought likely, however,

been passed. Il IS believed the two sides
