OUR PRESIDENT IS
WATCHING MOVES
GIVES NO HINT OF HIS INTENT
TO APPEAR BEFORE THE
CONGRESS.
WAR CRISIS EXPECTED SOON
Belief that Course Will Be Declared
Soon Grows in Washington
Preparations for Trouble Con-
tinued-12 Ships Leave.

Washington.-The American gov
eminent continues its waiting policy
toward Germany's submarine warfare
and, although it is taken for granted
in all quarters that President Wilson
will go before congress on the situa
ton before the adjournment March
4, the statement was authorized that
SO far as he had made no definite
plans to that end.
The confident belief everywhere
that there will be action not later
than next week, if nothing happens
to precipitate it before. is based up
on the knowledge that the president
wishes to avoid calling an extra ses
sion of congress if possible.
Ships Dare Not Sail.
The small number of British YES
sells sunk by submarines within the
last week is attracting no little at
tention Officials at Washington. point
out, however, that this does not al
ter the fact that through fear of the
consequences American ships anC
many of those of other nationalities
are remaining in port.
The opening of Halifax as a port
of examination, allowing some vessels
to avoid the danger area by not go
ing to Kirkwall, is expected to some
what lessen the effects of the virtual
blockade of eastern American ports.
Preparations Continue.
Every means at the disposal of the
government continues to be used to
prepare for any eventuality and the
administration believes no time has
been wasted. If a decision to arm
American merchantmen should be
reached it is understood it could be
done very quickly
There has been no further devel
opment in the situation between the
United States and Austria Hungary
and Turkey.
While press dispatches from Berlin
told Of the dispatch of official word
of the release of the American pris-
oners on the prize vessel Yarrowdale,
the notice has not reached the state
department.
Will Act Carefully.
There were strong indications Tues
day morning that unless some sensa-
tional development precipitates i'm
mediate action, President Wilson'S
next step in the crisis with Germany
will be postponed until few days
before congress adjourns for the SEES
sion.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Despite the tense situation occa-
stoned by the break with Germany,
business conditions in the United
States do not appear to have been
seriously disturbed, although there
have been some declines in certain Sc.
curities. There has been no attempt
at Washington to deny that we are
actually on the verge of war with Ger
many and that it may come at any
moment.
Provisions.
Butter-The market is unchanged as
to prices which are quotable at 41@
43c for Washington creamery. The
undertone of the market is very strong
with demands holding up we'll.
Eggs-Quotations are down again
this week, the wholesale figure rang
ing from $40 to $1,000, but according
TO reports the most are selling at the
$40 price. Price to the producers is
81 less.
Dressed Meats-With the constant
advance in livestock dressed prices
have been marked up with beef quot.
ing at 119@141sc, pork 17@2Oc, NUT
ton 17@19c and lamb 1917 @2Oc
Poultry-Shortage of supplies has
boosted the price of poultry, with
hens bringing the producers 17@1sc,
springers lie, old roosters 9@1Oc and
ducks 13c. Dressed figures are about
&c higher.
Lard and Cured Meats-Due to the
high figures on live hogs, pork prod
ucts have been advanced in price.
Hams are up about &c and bacon 1c
to &c. Lard has also advanced and is
quoted at 19c.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples = Quotations are holding
about at the same level as for some
time past. The movement has been
somewhat better during the past week,
stocks being nearly all cold storage
stuff.
Other Fruits-Fancy lemons are a
little firmer this week, the quotation
being $4.50@4.75. Fancy oranges are
also firmer at $3@3.25. Owing to
frosts in Florida grapefruit has been
marked up to SIS, which is about 81
under the figure it would cost to lay
GOWN shipments mere now.
Potatoes-Market is stronger with
quotations varying from $3.50 to $2.75,
the advance being attributed to crop
damage and shipments to eastern
points.
Other Vegetables - California cab
bage is up soc at $3.50 per cwt. and
dry onions have also been boosted, the
figures now being $65O@7 per cwt.
Rhubarb is little easier at 8@1Oc.
Spinach is now on the market and
quoted at $1.25@1.5O per crate. Green
onions are also to be had now and
offered at 45c per dozen punches.
Wheat-1nactivity prevails in the
wheat markets. Not since the begin
ming of the season has the market
been as dull as now witnessed; in
fact, this dullness began about the lat
ter part of January and continues
without any interruption. Sellers have
withdrawn entirely from the market
and are paying but little attention to
prices sent out by millers or shippers.

Marriage by Proxy.
From the London Chronicle.


We need not accompany Col. San
ders back to Plantagenet times for
examples of marriage by proxy. nor
agree with Sir John Simon that under
the system princes always chose their
wives Ex-Queen Maria Sophia of
Naples. who still lives, was invited by
the infamous King Bomba to wed his
heir. The young people had never met,
and neither Of them had a voice in the
matter until their parents had con-
cluded a bargain Not till then was
the Bavarian princess shown a portrait
Of her future husband. "Is he really
as ugly as he is represented?" she re-
peatedly asked on her way to Naples.
The marriage by proxy was per-
formed at her own home, the late
Prince Leopold of Bavaria being the
dummy husband : When bride and
bridegroom eventually met she found
herself more unfortunate than her sis
ters. the Empress of Austria and the
ill-destined Empress of Mexico; for her
bridegroom. poor, loutish creature.
was frightened of her. He could not
speak German: she had no italian.
When she entered room he would
skip behind an arras, waiting to creep
out unnoticed. II caught he would
stand dumb before her. So much for
marriage by proxy.
