April 29.—The extremely limited operations in the stock market today gave no hint of any growth of outside interest. The movement in Un ion Pacific was the only one worthy of note. The strength in that stock domi nated the whole market and gave it what ever vague character it had. There was no news to explain the advance in Un ion Paolflo. ft was variously attributed to the formation of a stock market pool to speculate in the slock, and to the expectation of some coming change in the affairs of a company that would redound to the benefit of stockholders. The sym pathetic effect of the Union Pacific move ment radiated thro > h the markw_.x.:th diminishing effect in st'oeks more remotely connected with it. the greatest effect be ing shown in the more intimately con nected trans-eontinen%i.' group. The sharp reaction -in the- wheat mar- get gave some assistance to the Advocates of higher prices for stocks. The amount of unloading of wheat, induced by the news of showers in the Southwest, serves to impress stock market sentiment with the large araotmt of speculative influence which has been at work in the recent wheat market, and so detracted from the force of recent crop scare reports. The keen competition in the J-ofldon market for the newlv arrived gold was looked upon with Interest. The sharp bidding which advanced the price of the gold a half penny, the small proportion secured by Paris anil the firmness of the sterling exchange markets here all added to the likelihood that gold might be shinned from New York to Paris. The local money market was not affected by these developments and remained easy. There was a feeling of satisfaction with the tranquil outlook reported in the la- bo’■ field on the eve of May Day.

There is ev ident a strong inclination to give credence to the report and no official denial has been made though the federal authorities refuse to confirm it. Mexican troops are being mobilized on the Guatemalan frontier, though the war department has stated that the mobilization is nothing more than a move to insure strict neutrality and to protect Mexican interests against any remote danger from irresponsible, marauding bands. The mobilized forces in the south will be under the command of Brig. Geij. Antonio R. Flores. Reports are also current here that Minister Gamboa, representing Mexico in Guatemala, has left that country and crossed Into Mexican territory as the result of friction with Cabrera’s Government growing out of telegrams sent from this country to Guatemala relative to the assassination of Gen. Manuel Barrillas. Passports are said to be in prepara tion for Minister Manuel Giron, the Guatemala representative in tHis cap ital, for his return to his own country. $13.00 The last named contribution was ac companied by the following note: “To The Telegrapn: Inclosed please find $7 for the starving Chinese, made and given by the ‘Bishop Beckwith Boys’ of St. Paul’s Sunday school in this city."

PRIZE HAVANA, April 29.—The plan of a Cuban standing army of 12.000 men. as suggested by the general staff of the American army, Is most attractive to that element of the Cuban people which Is fond of the gold laco and regalia of the Spanish-American arm ies. But among the conservative ele ments the plan excites really less in terest than the preceding one to re cruit the rural guard up to 12.000 men. The latter plan was vigorously op posed even by the Liberals, who It was supposed would have jumped at the opportunity opened by such a lav ish distribution of patronage, and while the standing array scheme evi dently has been framed to meet their objections, the apparent impossibility of this accomplishment has caused it to be received with something very like derision. Gov. Magoon. who has not yet been advised of any Intention of the war department to adopt the elaborate program of the general staff, does not believe it possible to recruit in the island of Cuba 12,000 soldiers who shall come up to the standard of the United States Army. This view is fully shared by Cubans experienced in military affairs, who point out that the United States today has such dif ficulty in obtaining satisfactory re cruits for its relatively small estab lishment of 60,000 men that it cannot keep the ranks of tho army of paci fication even reasonably full. While it is true that Cuba is richer in colonels .than Kentucky and rivals Hayti in the matter of generals, few of these warriors have any knowledge of military tactics other than those of the bush. To Insure a supply of train ed officers a military academy, a Cu ban West Point, they say, is indispen sable. This Is in line with a recent proposition strongly urged upon Gov. Magoon by Gen. Estenoz, a prominent Liberal, that at least two schools be established to form the neucleus of a Cuban Annapolis in which to rear the Farraguts, Nelsqns and Togos of Cuban fleets to be. Still more serious objections to the scheme are that it at once imposes the doubue burden of a huge military establishment, will ab sorb at least one-third of the reve nues, and diminution of the already thin ranks of labor by just so many men as are called upon to bear arms. Probably a moderate Increase of the rural guard, now about 1,500 men be low Its authorized strength of 5.000, will be regarded by most Cubans as a satisfactory establishment . of tha status of armed forces of the republic.

From the Washington Herald The census bureau has obtained suf ficient data in its inquiry into the sta tistics of divorce the the twenty-year period. 18S7-1907, to warrant the con clusion that the number of divorces granted has increased more rapidly than the population, and that the di vorce habit has made great strides during the past two decades. Between the yeu’s 1867 and 18S7, 328,716 di vorces were granted In the Unltetd States, or about thirty-three In every.- 100.000 of the population. For tllo- twenty years covered by the present investigation, it is estimated that the total number of d4vorces granted may reach 1.200.000 or about seventy in every 100,000, a proportion more thfen double that of the preceding decade These figures may be well regarded as of startling sociological significance.' But what, precisely, is their sigflf- cance? The. common point of view ns to divorce is that it is an unmitigated evil, threatening the perpetuity of the home and the' stability of the social order. But when we note that, accord ing to the census of 1900 there were living but 200.000 divorced persons' in a total population of 76.000,000, of whom nearly 2S.000.000 were married and 4 000,000 were widowed the farital relations of our people, taking-the country as a whole, seem but slightly disturbey by the operations of the di vorce courts. This and other facts m y be held to support the view that di vorce is an evil of relatively'res: ricted area, and that it is more largely a consequence of ordinary human de pravity than of social forces making for the destruction of the home, f'f the 328.000 divorces granted in the period of 1867-1887, 66 per cent, were granted to wives, mainly for infideliy. desertion.cruelty.drunkenness and fail ure to provide. Desertion was the cause of divorces in 39 per cent, cf these cases, and not only desertion r n the part of the husband, but of Ji wife also, or two-fifths of teh dlvnlr-eg granted for that cause were to hus bands deserted by their wives. A mel ancholy fact of divorce is that of or 56 per cent, .of the decrees for divorce on account of infidelity were granted to the husband fon the fault of his wife. The instability o hufan nature, rather than that of the institution of mar riage, Is the obvious Ipsson from these unhappy statistics. Doubtless most of those who divorce has relieved from miserable bondage to some human brute do not regard the severance of tlm marital tie as altogether an evil. The large number of divorces grant ed to wives for various causes suggests that one reason for the increase in divorce may bo etc growing frerdom of women, accompanied by modern Ideals of the marriage relation. A sta tistical fact apparently having some* bearing on this theory is that in five Western States, where women are of an unconvent.al and Independent type the numb*- 1 ' of divorces is much larger, both absolutely and relatively, than in Eastern States of much larger population, where it may be assumed, older fgmlnine ideals prevail. For ex ample’the number of divorces Fronted In each of the states of Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois. Is much larger than the number granted in the state of New York and of course the number of di vorced ’persons residing in each of these Stat -s is larger than the number living in the Empire State. In fact, the divorce evil is largely a Western evil, and that the condition of life and the popular Ideals prevailing there have much to do with the frequency of insert to the courts seems a natural conclusion.
