Boston Raids List, But Market Comes Back Stronq[y
LEAD IN A SHARP ADVANCE
TURNING A WEAK OPENING
>INTO STRENGTH.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-The stock mar
ket remains in a more or less moribund
condition. The very dullness led the
Boston speculative crowd led by Tom
Lawson to break loose this morning,
and make play for Il turn on the short
side of the list.
For a time they we're successful, and
then they lost out-at least, they were
not able to take advantage of their
paper profits, as the recovery that fol-
lowed a sharp display of strength in
the coalers was so quickly made that
there was no time to take even the one
half point gains made on the early
slump.
1t took nearly the greater part of the
morning for the rally, the best part of
1t coming in the last half of the
second hour. At that time speculation
had let up, and there was no activity
anywhere save in the coalers. The bulls
were aided by the show of strength In
London, and a general belief that the
short interest is extended and will take
advantage of any bear successes to
cover.
The bear raid did not bring out much
long stock, close students of the Street
failing to find anything that would in
dicate liquidation. At no time did the
market approach activity: It was slow
always, but few stocks actually show
ing even a fair volume of trading.

REBELS IN CUBA
BURN BUILDINGS
State Department Gets Confrma
ton OF Earlier
Reports.

The State Department today receiv-
ed confirmation of the report that all
buildings belonging to the Ponupo
Manganese Company have been
burned by rebels in Cuba.
Through the American legation at
Havana a message was transmitted
here stating that the properties of
the company were not protected by
American marines. The damage is
still unknown.
The battleship Mississippi which is
now anchored off FL Cuero has land
ed marines to protect foreign prop
critics in that section.
At the same time the gunboat Pa
dGcah sailed from Santiago. Its des-
tination is unknown, but II is believ-
ed to be bound for the new danger
zone at FL Cuero.
The State Department was informed
unoffiCially TODAY that Estenoz and
IvoRnet, rebel Chieftains, have con-
centrated their forces in the province
of Oriente.

A BIG BATCH OF
SHORT STORIES

uERE is nice short. beautifully
n executed story entitled SHE
WHO HATH NOT" by Frances 4.
Gale. These stories are very popular
this season. Everybody is reading
them now. This particular one Is
about a girl who loved and lost. But
she was so much finer than the man
who lost her that she declined to be
shut out of his life. And because of
this splendid. Dig quality she then
took back in his place something else,
something more potential than even
study in tenderness, full chord In
the music of cosmic longing.

about a woman who lured men to the

she did. She went out and l-u-r-e-d

There is no denying that the Chi

THE FOREIGN VIEW.

The copious reports Of European
comments on our, Presidential election
which have been given In The Trib-
une's special cable dispatches are illu-
minating as a view Of ourselves as
others see u.s." and suggestive Of some
serious thoughts concerning the out
look for the new administration. They
indicate a greatly increased familiarity
with American affairs over that Of
even a few years ago, and an intelli-
gent capacity for estimating the prob
able effects Of those changes In policy
which are generally and not unreason-
ably expected.
The tone of some of them is that Of
exultation over an achievement which
is likely to prove beneficial to Euro
pean trade interests. That is particu-
larly the case with German comments.
1t is observed that there is promised
q reduction of tariff rates which will
permit German manufacturers TO flood
the American market with their wares.
In that there would be cause for Ger
man rejoicing. Yet. mindful OF the I'M
certain utterances OF Mr.. Wilson on the
subject and the memory Of the per
fidy and dishonor" which triumphed
under the Cleveland administration.
the more prudent Germans warn their
countrymen that Democratic promises
o,.n not aluova worth their face value,
In Great Britain the free trade pa
pers, OF course, acclaim Mr.. Wilson's
election as the greatest blow which has
fallen upon protection in our time, and
they rejoice accordingly, while the
tariff reform papers confidently pre-
dict that whatever "mOnkeying with
the tariff" the Democrats may effect
will still leave the American rates
much higher than the protectionists OF
Great Britain propose for that country.
One of the shrewdest observers in
England points out the circumstance
that the Democratic party is by no
means harmonious. 1t contains, as did
the Republican, both conservatives and
radicals. For the time they held their
differences in allegiance for the sake
of profiting from the Republican dis
sension and schism. But when spe-
"cific issues are raised the two wings
must tend TO come into conflict

WHO NEEDS EDUCATION?
Is It the Gentlemen Of the Press OF
Bryn Mawr Graduates?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A newspaper paragraph which has
been given wide publicity lately COM
ments on statistics gathered by the au-
thorities OF Bryn Mswr College on the
families of it's married alumne II states
that alumnR married in 1898 have an
average of four children each, while
alumne married in 1910 have an average
Of three-tenths OF child each, and this
terrible falling of is considered conclu-
sive proof OF a rapidly advancing race
suicide. due 10 tho higher education Of
women.
A glance at the statistics quoted shows
the fallacy In the argument. The sta
tistlcs are dated January /. 1912, so that
alumns married In 1910 had been married
between twelve and twenty-four months
when the statistics were gathered. II IL
hardly reasonable 10 expect women mar
ried on an average OF about eighteen
months 10 have four children each. The
aIumne married in 1895 had, on the other
hand. thirteen years OF marriage, In which
their average OF four children each were
born: that IL. one child every three and
a quarter years.
What is needed apparently Is more
higher education for newspaper para
graphists when they founder into the
reaIn, OF statistics. !. NJ

finally, that 1t is designed to be con-
ducive to peace between this nation
and all other powers. An unprotected
canal would continually present temp
tation TO any malevolent power to DO
us an incalculable injury. The strong
protection Of it would avert that temp
tation. And if the prospect OF our per-
haps closing the canal against our
enemy in case of war were unwelcome
to the world, that would be just an
other argument and motive for keeping
the peace. We have never heard 1t sug-
gested that the Notifications at Sandy
Hook and the Narrows deter foreign
commerce from seeking this port.
Neither will Notifications at Colon and
Balboa interfere with the free use OF
the canal. it would be In time Of war
alone that anybody would have coca
sion to take the forts into account or
to be aware, save accidentally, Of their
existence; and If such realization Of
their presence would he unpleasant it
could be entirely avoided simply by
keeping the peace.
