have been abandoned owing to the
firm opposition of the British as well
as adverse criticism at home. One
rumor was scotched when Prime Min

commons that there was no question
Of Great Britain scrapping any battle

classes, and that neither the Ameri-
cans nor anyone else had asked this.

maximum and minimum tonnages for

IN THE Central West there were
several big events in connection
with prohibition. A federal grand jury
in Springfield, ILL.,, indicted the Fleisch-
mann Yeast company, the Corn Prod
ucts Refining company, and the Hub
binger Brothers company of Keokuk,
Iowa, as corporation conspirators
against the dry law. They are charged
with furnishing large shipments Of
yeast and corn sugar to illicit dis
tillers. A lot of minor bootleggers
also were indicted. Another federal
grand jury in Chicago returned In
dictments against 1888 individuals and
small concerns scattered over the
country on charges if misusing indus
trial alcohol. The government Off
Gals said this was the breaking up of
the biggest "alky" ring in the country.
the king of which was Anastassoff
Srebren, an internationally known
chemist who invented a process of re-
distillation for removing non-drinkable
ingredients from specially denatured
alcohol.

SUBMARINES are not to be banned
- as weapons Of war by the naval
conference in London, but their use
against merchant ships is to be re-
stricted and "humanized." Such is
the assertion of Mr.. Stimson and Mr..
Macdonald, heads of the American
and British delegations respectively,
made after the question had been
taken up by the conference in plenary
session. The British proposed that
Americans seconded that, but the
French and Japanese objected, as was
expected, and the Italians sat on the
fence. All, however, were willing that
ruthless warfare by submersibles on
merchant vessels should be outlawed.
Premier Tardieu put France in a
commanding position when he gave
sout the French demands. He an
nounced that he was willing to aban-
don his governments naval require
ments which were laid down in the
1923 program, on one condition only.
This condition is a mutual guarantee
from the other powers.
BY 1896, the French memorandum
says, the French navy will comprise
a total tonnage of 724,4T9 tons. This
approximates the sea strength of
Japan, who proposes 757,070 tons as
her proportion, and swamps Italy. who
suggests figure in the neighborhood
Of 100000 tons as her needs. The
French strength would approximate
the British and American strength In
ratio of 80.
The japanese delegation on Thurs
day made public its position, stating
that Japan is ready to assent to a
holiday in battleship construction un-
til 1896, which also is favored by the
Americans and the British; that Japan
is willing that the tonnage of battle
ships be reduced 10 $4,000 tons and
the maximum caliber of guns to IA
inches.

pressed, that in arranging battleship
parity with Great Britain the United

u EFOPE reaching a vote on the
- confirmation of the appointment
Of Charles Evans Hughes as chief
justice of the Supreme court, the SEN
ate heard number of rather violent
attacks on the supposed attitude of
Mr.. Hughes toward economic prob
lens and to warm defense of that gem
tleman and his record. Leading the
opposition was Senator Borah of
Idaho, the chronic opponent of almost
everything anyone else wants. He,
as well as Carter Glass, Cole Blease,
Brookhart, Blaine, Wheeler and Con-
nally of Texas based their arguments
against the appointment mainly on
their alleged belief that Mr.. Hughes
was more in sympathy with the oil,
gas, electricity, coal, transportation
and power magnates than with the
people, and that his views, as Borah
said, on matters pertaining to great
combinations might, if reflected in Su-
preme court decisions, lead to great
economic oppression" ALI of which
was replied to ably by Senator Glenn
of Illinois and others.
The vote for confirmation of Mr..
Hughes was 81 to &c. Voting for con-
firmation were 3S Republicans and IA
Democrats, while in the negative were
IL Republicans and Is Democrats.

ING ALFONSO of Spain has ex-
~ tended amnesty to all those whom
De Rivera exiled and taken other
steps to please the people, but the
republican sentiment in his country
is growing alarmingly. Anti-monarch-
lists who returned from foreign lands
at once resumed their agitation and
threats against the throne and its oc-
eupant are made openly. At a cele-
bration of the anniversary of the
short-lived republic of 1873 the at
tacks on Alfonso were savage. One
of the speakers declared: There are
only two roads open to the Bourbons.
One leads to the frontier and the
other to the scaffold." The police
were ordered by Premier Berenguer
not to disturb this and similar meet
ings, though street demonstrations
were barred. Count Romanones, for
mer premier and leader of the Lib
erals, says the only way to save the
monarchy in Spain is to establish
constitutional government modelled
after that of England.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson e. McKinnon>

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Official
confirmation of recent reports that
the banking group organized last
fall had disposed Of all its holdings
seems particularly significant for
two reasons. First it should go
long way toward strengthening the
markets technical position to have
all such stock liquidated. Secondly,
the markets ability to absorb this
liquidation is, We feel, ample testi-
mony as to the extent of the under
lying investment demand. Some
may believe that a reason for COM
pletion Of the liquidation now pos
sibly is based on the conviction that
peak prices for the time being have
been reached. But in this connec-
ton, it must be remembered that
the group was organized as tenn
porary eXpedient at the time of
need and that in all probability the
principal desire of its members has
been to complete liquidation of
holdings as soon as possible. At the
moment there seems nothing much
that can be added to the discussion
of the commodity situation, the fur
Their decline in prices speaking for
itself. Everything considered, it is
our opinion that despite the mo-
mentarily unfavorable situations,
which may on the surface appear
distinctly disturbing, there is an un-
impaired fundamental soundness to
the country's economic structure.
Accordingly it is our belief that at
such times as the present, when I'M
favorable conditions seem tempo
rarily to dominate, that attractive
opportunities are offered for the
advantageous acquisition Of sound
stocks.

CHICAGO. Feb 25. - Wheat
opened uneyenly higher on the
Board of Trade today under the
influence of strong foreign cables.
Liverpool, after an easy start, re-
covered strongly on the steady Bue-
nos Aires market, which was Is TO
4 cent higher. Portugal took some
Argentine wheat, which supported
that market and caused shorts to
cover in the United Kingdom. Corn
and oats were fractionauy higher
with wheat
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to Ia cents higher; corn
was Is cent lower to q cent higher,
and oats was Is to q cent higher.
Provisions were weak.
While Liverpool opened lower, as
was expected, it showed surprising
strength and only lost fractionally
q to Is cent. Sentiment is bearlsh
locally, and though the domestic
situation is unchanged, foreigners
are discounting most Of the unfa-
vorable factors. The weather is
colder. with rain and snow over the
belt. but the drop was not severe
enough to injure crops.
With the breaking up of coun-
try roads and the decline in wheat
corn traders do not expect large
movement for some time. Statistics
are not bearish and the cash trade
is large.
A sympathetic drop in oats car
ried that grain to new lows for the
crop Monday, and though the senti-
ment is favorable. prices will be
dominated by corn and wheat.
