When seen at the fort, French was
considerably amused at the excitement
caused by his disappearance. .
"I supposed," he said, "an observing
Englishman, more or less In this coun
try did not amount to much and might
very well drop out of the ranks with
out such a fuss.
"I enlisted because I had a pretty
, strong notion of doing so when I left
home. I had an 'Idea of going up to
Canada and Joining the mounted police
up there in the nohthwest, but the
more I heard about that country and
its 49 degree below sero, the less I
liked It. So I Just enlisted In the
American army and I like It
'1 came out here nominally with the
idea of going on my uncle's ranch In
. New Mexico, where he has lived about
29 years. My private income won't
answer to live on. I've got to do some
thing and soldiering is the only thing
I know how to do. I don't know any
thing about ranching. Maybe I could
not have done anything at it when I
got there." .
Asked why be left all his luggage at
the hotel in this city, he explained that
he did not expect to need bis citizens
traps and abandoned, them to cover a
small sum he owned the noteL"
'1 did not make any particular fuss
about my enlltsment' and as to leav

not the remotest idea of so doing. The
men are good fellows and the officers
know their business. I am where I
want to be and Intend to stay."

stock exchange have been well sus

American gold have helped the market
Peace rumors abroad also resulted in
some foreign demand in this market
for stocks.
Restraining factors have been the
export grain rate war, the obstruction

cussion of legislation for government
control of railroad rates.

WASHINGTON FISH LAWS.
Meglar Introduces Conference Bill in
th House.
The general fisheries law, under the
authorship of Speaker Megler, appear
ed In the house at Olympla last week.
The bill does not include some of the
features agreed to by the Oregon ana
Washington Joint conference, it being
the Intention to nlace the matter af
fecting the Columbia in separate bill.
The Megler bill, however, fixes the li
censes as agreed to by the Joint con
ference committee.
A side departure In marking fishing
locations is provided for. Under the
present law the locations are marked
by the driving of three piles. The
Megler bill provides for the survey of
locations and the filing of plats in the
office of the county auditor and the
state fish commissioner. The idea is
known as the Major Mills plan.
Major Mills of the government en
gineering staff, has objected to the
driving of piles because they are a
menace to navigation. The bill will do
away with this menace and also pro-
Ide that every vestige of the fishtrap
or gear shall be removed within a cer
tain period after the close of the fish
ing season.

New York. Feb. 18. Architectural
plana hav been completed for the Col
ony Club, for which a site was pur
chased nearly a year ago In Madison
avenue. When the structure shall have
been reared the monopoly now held
by the male population of the pleasures
and privilege of an exclusive club
luxuriously housed and thoroughly fur
nished, will be at an end In this city.
With Its combined social and athletic
advantages, the new clubhouse will b
the most complete In the country.
Its membership will Include many of
the most prominent women In New
York and there will be several ar
rangements for .out of town members.
A peculiarly strong argument In favor
of the club among the society women
is that It wilt provide accommodation
for them when they are spending a
day or two In the city during the sum
mer season when their town houses art
closed.
