Miff TORE. Aprtl JApproach of
the end of the Supreme Court's recess
and nearness of the date on which the
new Congress is to assemble make re
strlctlve Influences that doubtless ac
count for much of the dullness of the
week In Wall street. Confidence Is
expreaaed that the speculative fabric
Is fortified by long anticipation of a
Supreme Court dnclslon unfavorable to
the corporations tn thantl-trust cases.
Tha strong mosey position continues
to be a helpful factor. The Controller's
abstract of National Bank reports for
March 1 gained unusual Interest be
cause of the comparison with the simi
lar period last year, when the reports
first gave the alarm over an Inflation
of bank credlta.
The rear's Increase In National Bank
loans of tl2t.000.000 carries no Inti
mation of a failure to correct the ex
cesses growing out of farm land specu
lation. Inflation of commodity prices
and undue exploitation of the automo

Meaaurea of economy now being
adopted by the railroads are having
their effect on consumptive demand in
the trades, together with the beneficial
effect on railroad net operating Income.

Baron DTEstournelles de Constant
Brings Out Arguments by Telling
of Conflicts Between Ilia
Nation and Russia.
SAN mANCISCO, April i-The use
laasness of war. with the conflicts) be
tween France and Russia as the par
ticular Illustration, was preached here
tonight In the First Congregational
Church by Baron D'Estoumelles de Con
stant, the eminent French Senator, who
haa been speaking throughout the United
State a for tha oaiaas of International
peace.
It waa his first address in English In
this city and was listened to by a large
audience. He said In part:
"In leas than a century. French armies
have carried war Into Ruasia, flmt to
Moscow and then to the Crimea. Neither
of these wars haa been taken to heart
and remembered by the Russian people,
and they have not held France respon
sible. Hatred Not Shown.
"Neither at Moscow in Napoleon's time
nor in the trenches before Sebastopol did
the French soldiers discover any sign
of hostility, hatred or incompatibility
among the Russlana. The past haa van
ished; liking and affection spring up from
the first direct contact between the two
peoples, and . the France-Russian alli
ance seems a if It had always ex
isted. "And yet the two governments, before
they came to .an understanding had long
regarded war between the two countries
as a natural and necessary state of
things to be generally accepted In virtue
of reasons of state. ' The .governments
believed that both nations were bound
to bate each other, while the people
themselves as'Sed for nothing better than
mutual confidence. While the two gov
ernments were deciding for war, the
two nations were friendly, and neither
defeat nor bloodshed nor bitterness has
been able to stifle this sentiment.
Life Not Brought Back.
"It was all very well for governments
to admit that they were mistaken, but
that did not bring back the victims to
life and to the service of their country.
During a visit I paid to Moscow, It
seemed as If I were living the trials and
sufferings of our unfortunate grand army
ail over again. .
"Was It a dream? It seemed to me
aa It France's children were lying
asleep under the snow and that aa the
train approached, they rose up and held
out their arms imploringly. The saddest
thing of all waa to have no reply to
make to their doleful cry: 'We died
for nothing.' "

Senor Azcona eald that the delegation
named will wait at El Paso, If they go
into Mexico at all. for passports giving
them the fullest assurance of safety. It
may not be necessary for them to leave
American soil in caj Francisco Madero,
the younger, has declined LJraantour's
tentative proposals and, as hoped, has
dispatched a massenger from his camp to
tn Paso.
Should the trip into Chihuahua be
necessary, automobile will be used over
the direct route from El Paso, the rail
road being out of commission.
Members of the Junta today reiterated
in a general way their comments on
President Diaz' message to Congress as
being unsatisfactory.
Revolt Is Minimized.
It makes no direct reference to any
real move on the government'9 part to
secure peace. In fact, it is held rather
to minimize the Importance of the re
volt. Important reforms are advocated,
but the pressure of the revolutionists
In securing them is not recognized. The
tnsurrectos held that Diaz must do more
than his message promises. He must
resign and make way for a free election.
Senor Azcona declared that should
formal and binding negotiations result,
they must be held on neutral soil, and
that their contents must be made public
on neutral soil. This is a detail of the
recognition which the revolutionists claim
as their right.
The Associated Press Interview secured
with Francisco Madero. Jr.. in the field
west of Chihuahua was read with in
terest. It waa accepted aa a definite
statement by the rebel leader of his
demands the basis for any negotiations
of a formal character.
3 SOLUTION'S ARE PROPOSED
Mexican Rebel Agent Points Way to
Securing Peace.
WASHINGTON, April 2. Pointing
out that the message of President
Dias to the Mexican Congress indorses
the statements of the Mexican revo
lutionists. Dr. Vasques Gomez, head of
the confidential agency of the insur
gents here. Issued a statement tonight
suggesting two solutions of the trouble
in Mexico. '
The government of President Diaz,
he declares, "by throwing aside its
pride and furnishing proof of its pa
triotism," may treat openly with the
revolutionists, putting an end to the
conflict and arranging "the best man
ner of guaranteeing the reforms and
Just demands of the revolutionists," or
the war may continue to Its final tri
umph, which Dr. Gomez believes Is not
far distant. .
Dr. Gomez says that if the revolu
tionists are obliged to pursue the lat
ter course, he hopes that "in the in
terest of Justice and humanity" the
United States will recognize the bel
ligerency of the Insurrection.
"I say in the interest of Justice and
humanity," says Dr. Gomez, "because
up to the present time, inasmuch as
the government of General Diaz has
insisted on treating the revolutionists,
as bandits, they have not been able
properly to organize a medical service
to attend to the wounded and the sick,
and the burial of the dead. At present
if a member of the Insurgent medical
service Is taken prisoner by Diaz'
troops he Is shot immediately."
In his analysis of the message of
President Diaz, Dr. Gomez says he
found much of encouragement to the
cause of the revolutionists. His state
ment In part follows:
"General Diaz' message to Congress
14 very Interesting because at the bot
tom it admits that the revolution is a
Just one, and has for its object the
betterment of political and sooial con
ditions In Mexico. For this reason I
am more than ever firmly convinced
that the revolutionary party shortly
will triumph."
PEACE RUMORS ARE REVIVED
Maderos Hold Conference In El
Paso With Gonzales Garza.
Eli PASO, Tex., April 2. Revivals of
peace rumors were started tonight with
the arrival of Francisco I. Madero, Sr.,
and Alfonso Madero, father and broth
er of the Mexican lnsurrect'o president.
They came from San Antonio and went
at once to their hotel. To reporters they
refused to make any statements. Aaked
If he bad come here on a mission of
peace, the Senior Madero said:
"Perhaps so; I will tell you later."
Replying to a question as to when he
had last seen his son, Francisco, he said:
"I have not seen him since he left
San. Antonio three months ago or more."
Gonzales Garza, lnsurrecto Secretary
of State, met the two Maderos and ac
companied them to their hotel, where a
conference opened at once. For some
time Garza has been declaring that he
did not believe in the peace rumors.
So far as can be learned there are .no
representatives here of the federal gov
ernment, but the lnsurrecto Junta Is
supposed to be in communication by
courier with F. L. Madero,. now with the
army near Chihuahua.
In an interview given the Associated
Press tonight at the close of the con
ference, Alfonso Madero declared he was
unable to maker' known the object of
their visit to El Paso now, but expected
to be able to give out something tomor
row or Tuesday that would throw light
on their visit. He Indicated, however,
that flgfitlng would continue unle6a de
mands were being prepared by the men
In the field. He would .not, however,
make known the nature of the demands.
J There are at present being offered to the public more than
one hundred different types of player-pianos good, bad and
indifferent. Many manuf actnrers have rushed upon the market
player-pianos which are incapable of giving proper musical ex
pression, impracticable in their construction, which lack dura
bility, and are, in fact, unworthy, both musically and mechani
cally. Every prospective buyer of a player-piano should investigate
most thoroughly the claims made by different dealers. He
should know not only the piano, the mechanical construction of
. the player contained within its case, the materials and work
manship embodied in its making, but he should know, as well,
the musical capabilities of the instrument what he can accom
plish musically without the skill of the professional demon
strator and, most of all, should he know the character and
stability of the house of which he buys.
J We do not claim that we have the only good player-pianos,
but we do claim that we show the best player-pianos in the
world. We make the statement, and it is easily proven, that
musically and mechanically our line i? the best, the most dur
able and satisfactory in the "West.
Cf Our house is restricted to no single agency; bound to repre
sent no particular product, under obligations to no manufac
turer; therefore, we buy only that in pianos and in player
pianos which years of experience has taught us to be the best
possible at the price, and we do not hesitate to back our judg
ment with absolute guarantees as to the quality of our goods.
Our line of player pianos is consequently many times larger
than that of any other house, offers better opportunity for com
parison, and a much wider choice in type, style and design "J i e
urc-e you to inspect and test before you purchase the Hardman,
