Austria Wishes a Delay in Break if One Is to Come and Gives Out
 Its Reasons.
NO PROMISES ARE MADE
Nation Has Never Given Pledge Not to Sink Any Ships Upon
 Sight.

MILAN, Feb. 5-The news from
 Vienna via Zurich is to the effect
 that, for the present, no rupture be.
 tween the United States and Austria is anticipated and that relations will remain in status quo. The principal reasons for this are the fact that Austria has only declared a submar-
 inc blockade in the Mediterranean, where there is not so much American shipping and that Austria has never given any promise or pledge not to sink a ship at sight. and therefore President Wilson, it is argued has not an immediate ground for rup. ture.
 But this is only the view expound- ed by the Vienna press. There is, however, another reason why a rup. ture may be delayed, and it is the fact that submarine piracy in the Italian waters, indeed, in the entire Mediterranean is carried on under the German flag Before Italy had officially declared war on Germany, last August, submarines in the Mcd- iterrauean, especially when they at- tackled Italian shipping, flew the Austrian flag, although most of them were German U.bOats and manned by German officers and sailors.
 But since the declaration of war with Germany no such subterrugc has been needed, anI since then German submarines have carried out their outrages under their own flags. If. therefore, any ships are sunk in the Mediterranean, it will be by sub | marines carrying tho. German flag l and no direct responsibility will fauI on Austria
 It is said that Austria also de-l sires that relations between America and Austria shall be maintained as long as possible, as thereby she may entrust her interests, to the care of the Austrian ambassador in Washing. ton rather than to the Spanish rep. resentatiye.

OLDEST S. $. TEACHER.

Belvidere. N. J., March 21.-Prob- ably the oldest Sunday school teacher in this country, in age and in point of service alike, is Mrs. Anna M. Bruen of this place, who tomorrow will reach her ninety-fifth birthday anniversary. Mrs. Bruen is teacher of the Ladies' Bible class in the First Presbyterian church. She began teaching in Sunday school more than so years ago, when a mere girl of but 12 years of age, and has been a Sun day school teacher continuously, Sab bath after Sabbath, ever since. Her record for punctuality is quite as re- markable, for during all these years she has seldom failed to meet her class on time each Sunday.

New York Cotton.

New York, March 2l-Thc cotton market showed renewed strength carly today and after opening at an advance of 1 to 1o points, sold 25 Q 32 points net higher before the end of the first hour. This advance car ricd May contracts uO to 1893 and October to 1887, making new hign ground for tho movement on buying by trade interests and Wall street houses. The rains reported in East ern and Central sections Of the belt doubtless increased anxiety as to the new crop start, while the calling of the extra session of congress had ev;- dently been expected. The advance, however, attracted a good deal of realizing and Liverpool also turned quite a seller toward the middle of the morning with prices easing back to & or 9 points from the best.
 Reactions of 10 to 15 points dur ing tho middle of inc morning under realizing and local selling were fol- lowed by renewed firmnesS. Tho an- hounccmcnt that the federal war risk insurance bureau had fixed flat rate of three per cent on cargoes to Europe evidently encouraged re- newal of bull support and prices made new high ground for the move ment around midday, with May sell ing at 1S.9Sc and October 1S.43c, or 3i to 31 points net higher.

BOASTS OF TEACHING
 UNITED STATES LESSON
Count yOn ReyentlOw Says It Is Good American Ships Learn That Ger
 Man Prohibition Effective.

Amsterdam, March 21, via London. Count von Reyentlow, writing in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, says, with reference to the sinking of the Amer ican steamers City of Memphis, Illi- nois and Vigilancia:
 Ut is good that American ships have been obliged to learn that the German prohibition is effective, and that there is no question of distinctive treatment for the United States. In view of such losses there is only one policy for the United States as for the small European maritime powers, namely, to retain their ships in their own ports as long as the war lasts" "
 The Dusseldorter General Anzeiger says that the sinking of three Ameri- can ships is certain to produce cspe- cial satisfaction.

Grain and Provisions.

chicago, March 21.-Wheat prices showed unusual steadiness today and the market gave no sign of being in the least disturbed over the an | nouncement that President Wilson had called on congress to convene ahead of the time which had been set. Apparent-traders were more con- cerned in regard to the gossip of a new move on the part e Germany for peace. Chances of 9 cessation of hostilities by European belIigerents formed bearish influence, whereas steps at Washington looking to d declaration of war received in gen. eral a construction favorable to the bull side of the market Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterdays finish to 1-4c lower, with May at $1.S6 to $1.S6 3-4 anl July at $1.57 to $1.57 3-S were fol- lowed by slight gains, then mod- crate setback and later fresh upturns, which, however, failed to last
 Subsequently,, more pronounced weakness developed in consequence of additional peace lumors. The close was nervous, 1 to 2c net lower, with May at s1.S4 to $1.S4 IA and July at $1.55 to $1.55 7-8.
 Corn, like wheat, was bearishly af- fected by peace rumors. Besides there were assertions that exporters weretrying to cancel purchases. After opening unchanged to 1-2c lower, the market continued in the main to sag, although there were occasional ral- lies.
