One, is for the store-keeper to ofler it tor about the same, as ii secured at the usual price, in this way making an extra profit, somewhat in the nature of a speculation. The other, is simply to place a fair profit upon the reduced cost, thereby giving the consumer, some benefit of the fortunate pur chase. The practice at Duffy's is, stuff bought under value is passed along to the customer in the same manner. .

The torpedo boat Rodgers, which left Hampton Roads yesterday to join the North Atlantio squadron at Key West, is reported to have passed Wilmington, North Carolina, bound southward, to night Proclamation The President has issued a proclama tion that a state of war exists between the United States and Spain. An impor- I tant step today was the sending by the Administration of a circular note to the Powers which makes a declaration against privateering. This action by the United States government gives great satisfac tion to the commercial powers as it is recognized that it enforces the abandon ment of privateering by Spain, as Eng land would be sure to make a forcible protest if Spain persisted. The President today signed the bill for the blockading of. the Cuban ports and notified the representatives of the foreign powers of j its being enforced. Army Hill, The volunteer army bill was signed by the President, after it passed the Senate and House. The action ou the volunteer bill was the chief business transacted by (Jongrcss during the day.

Theie is no organized i-ffort to pusli along the idea of a world-controlling al liance of the English speaking peoples. but the idea seems to be going ahead with its own momentum, aideJ by. circum stances, such as the general tone of the English press and recent announcements by the British government showing its sympathy with the Cuban policy of I lie U. 8. and its object. The idea catches the peace supporters, because of their belief that such an alliance would be powerful enough to maintain universal peace, and the fighting clement, became it would be Blrong enough to lick all creation.
