PRICES RISE ON B0URSE
Copper Speculation Distrusted-
Wheat Cheaper.
[Ry Gable 70 The Tribune.

Paris. Feb. A slight recovery Is
noted to-day on the Paris Bourse, after a
Respondent, irregular tone which has
prevailed during the week. The firmness
and higher prices of French government
bonds are attributed TO the effect of the
declaration made in the Senate by NJ
Pichon. Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
regard TO the stability Of the Franco
Russian alliance and the triple agree
ment between rance. England and
Russia.
Considerable speculation has begun in
copper shares. regarding which leading
bankers and investors are very cautious.
Prominent financers consider that the
present rise in prices is not justified by
the demand and persist IN the belief that
the stock Of copper on hand is in reality
much greater than is admitted by official
statements.
The general decline in the prices Of
wheat is due to large offers from Rus
sia. Canada and the United States, which
the holders want to get rid Of before
warm weather sets in.
Great activity with a sharp advance in
prices is recorded in the wine market.
Russia industrials are well sustained,
with upward quotations.

Scientists Believe Disease VIII

ISOLATION ADVOCATED
Opinions of Paris Physicians Re-

of Epidemic.
TIv Gable 20 Tia Tribune.

Paris. Feb. 4.-Whether the plague cpl

every ones lips. The unanimous opinion
N French scientists is that there is no
danger whatever of the "peste pneu-
monique" getting to France or western
Europe DR.. Roux. director or the fas-
teur Institute says that the present cpl
demic is in reality a continuation OF the
same plague which began In lndia IN

attenuated character. were detected a
few years later at Lisbon, Oporto and
Naples. but were 20 promptly dealt with
that all risk of infection or contagion

DR.. Roux adds that the plague OF 1895,

has with him a large supply Of anti
plague serum. Professor Samuel Pozzi,
Professor Albert Ribin and Professor
Thoinot. eminent members OF the faculty
Of the Paris Academy of Medicine, ex-
press the opinions that complete isolation
Is the only efficacious method OF fighting
the present epidemic and that the ap-
plication OF intense heat is the only
means yet known to science by which
the plague microbes can be destroyed.
DR.. Arago. Of the Paris faculty. insists
especially on submitting the microbes OF
the plague to extreme heat as the sole
means of determination.
Scientists and sanitary authorities are
fully alive to the gravity Of the situation,
and at the same time are unanimous In
saying that the quarantine precautions
and measures as they now exist are an
absolute guarantee that the disease can
not spread from Manchuria TO Europe
The French government, which is kept

VETO BILL SURE TO PASS
Mr.. ASquith in Full Control of
Majority Coalition in Commons.
LORDS ACTION IN DOUBT
Possible Necessity for Creation
of Peers-Liberal Members
Jocular Over Outlook.
TBv cable TO The Tribune ]

London. Feb 4.-The Kings speech
excites no curiosity this year. Its out
lines were available at the government
and opposition dinners tonight. but out
siders attending the reception in Down
ing Street and at Lansdowne House did
not need cues respecting its contents
The fact that Cabinet meetings have
been few in number and have broken
up early proves that there is no dissen-
sion over the veto bill, and that no other
important legislation. apart from finan-
Cial business, will be undertaken.
Full steam ahead" will be the Prime
Minister'S order and the coalition VIII
hold together and carry the measure
through the Commons before the corona
ton. The Easter and Whitsuntide re-
cesses will be shortened, and the holi-
Gays will be extended to three weeks at
coronation time. These were open Sc
crets when rival receptions were held az
Mrs. AsQuiths and Lady Lansdowne's
after the Prime Minister'S. Lord Crewe's
and Lord Beauchamp's dinners on one
side. and Mr.. Balfour's. Lord Lans-
downe's and Lord Londonderry's on the
other.
There are no signs Of high temperature
in the Commons. The Liberals are in gay
spirits and easily amused. There are
loud outlaws of laughter whenever
fortunate member is convicted Of having
bought q new motor car or a fur over
coat. for he is at once congratulated on
his chance Of becoming puppet peer.
The pulse is lower on the Unionist side.
where everybody processes 10 be bored
with politics and in favor of benevolent
despotism. Strenuous resistance TO the
veto bill is considered necessary, since
the Opposition members were elected for
the purpose OF fighting 1t; but there Is a
cynical Indifference 10 the development
Of constitutional questions, coupled with
lack Of faith in the ability Of the Union
lists to do anything beyond retarding the
progress Of the measure in the Com
mons.
The signed pledge has been dropped by
the Labor members, because IL is evident
that there can be no reversal OF the Os-
borne judgment this year. The necessity
for avoiding an autumn session In view
of the Kings departure for India is gen.
orally recognized, and it is doubtful
whether the bills for the payment Of
members and the abolition Of plural vot-
ing can he passed
There is, indeed. only one mystery In
the near future. This relates TO the re-
Ception of the veto bill by the Lords and
the necessity for the creation of hun
dreds Of peers if no compromise can be
effected before or after the coronation.
