The peace protocol Is less explicit , than In the case of the Antilles , ns to the disposal to 1m made of the Philippines but , since that document was signed , public opinion In this country baa become t > o widespread and gen eral In favor of their retention by the United State's that It teems to be assumed as a foregone conclusion that the president will Instruct our commissioners to the Paris con- ferpuco to shape their demands accordingly. This probability Is materially strengthened l > y the fact Hint the responsible- class of Fllllplnos are formally nud urgently peti tioning that the whole group of Islinds shall be placed under the ownership of the United States This Is an nigument which not only appeals directly to our government but also , upon International grounds , must carry n \ory Important Influence In the counsels of the peace1 commission It Is also a matter of some significance. In this connection that the czar has deferred the assembling of the International peace congress until one month after the conclusion of our IXMCO with Spain In the face of the pacific nature of the czar's proclamation , It Is hardly supposible that lu would Interfere' with the conclusions of the > Paris conference and If he stands aloof no other Intervention Is likely to be at tempted themore - so as the China question pceins ( o have reaclu d n stage of adjustment belwecMi England , Germany and llussln , In which franco Is likely.

The fact Is that koocl cattle- have TTTen In such moiler- ate supply at this point that prices have held up better than lit most other selling points During the last two days of the week the feeder market showed considerable Impiovement under the Influence of lighter receipts nnd n. greatly Increased demand.

In many places the dirt has been washed from beneath the missing planks , and should a person make a misstep serious Injuries might be the re sult. Councilman Ilarrett has been trying for some time to have these walks repaired and It Is thought that the work will be clone some time this week.

Captain J. n. Brady , until recently gov ernment censor at Tampa , was In St. Louis last week and related gome of his experience to a Globe-Democrat man. "Of course , If 1 had my way of It , " said the captain , "I would have allowed the bojs to send out all the news they wanted to. News of what was going on In Tampa kept filtering out of Washington , and while it was true that It was sometimes a day or two late , It wab generally pretty reliable The knowledge of this made the men at Tampa harder to handle and made my task that much more dimcult But I was under strict Instructions and all that I could do was to follow orders to the letter. The correspond ents of all the reputable papeis understood this , but the men who worked for the Ir responsible sheets caused me considerable ' trouble at times. The only punishment that i I could Inflict upon the men of this tjpe. waste to deny them the useof the wires for n week or so This generally proved effective , and when they found that It was almost Impos sible to evade mo they generally gave up In ellbgust. "At one time the men at Tampa appe'aled to General Greely , but Hint officer sup ported mo nnd their kick amounted to noth ing. As a matter of fact , the true state of affairs In Tampa was not known As Into as two days after the fleet had sailed to San tiago I received telegrams from the manag ing editors of some of the best papers In th country asking mo to corroborate the ) story At Tampa 1 was In eh irge of the Billions at Key West , Tampa Bay hotel , at which I made my hcadiiuarters , and n station at Jacksonville My assistants vvero all capa ble men and with their aid I uaa able to look after all the points In mterrltorj. . "Kvery correspondent was required to furnish mo with n copy of his piper d.ill > and If I found that hu nnd his paper had printed anything with a Tampa date line- that had not passed under mv eyes he was promptly susiindcd Of coun > o , tli-y at tempted nil sots of subterfuges T lit1 t > tor > which happt-nt-i ! In print some time mo In which a correspondent telegrnphed his pa per that the newspaper fleet had hailed and then a few hours later Kent another mes sage In which ho ordered the omission of the word newspaper , Is true When ho handed mo the second message I handed him back his first one , telling him that 'all llccts looked alike to me' The look of chiigrln that passed over his face when ho saw that he had been outwitted was most laughable nnd I did not have any more trouble with that man. "Ono of the best stories of this kind , and one which has not yet been In print , Is that of a female ) correspondent for an Eu ropean paper She hail arranged in a let ter which never reached Its destination that the words Send mo six more jubilee books should bo Interpreted as notifying the paper that the fleet hail Balled. The letter was in tercepted In her letter she had made re marks about the fresh young censor who thought that ho could bottle up nil the news In I'lorlda Two clays later , when she como to mo to file her telegram , I told her about the letter and In all inj experience I have- never seen a woman to nonuIuHHicI as fihe was. She was suspended for seven da > s "Another correspondent attempted to bribe an express messenger to mall a letter after ho got up Into Georgia. The letter reached us within an hour and ho was promptly crvcd with a notice that hla right to use the wires was cut of ! for a week. At DRY GOODS. H , Smith & Go.
