the colonies should choose their own
Governors. This, he says, implies the
appointment OF Governor by the poli-
teal party then in power in the colonial
Parliament and the abandonment OF
those very few rights which now be-
long to the Crown, and which he hon
estly believes are mainly in the interest
of the colonies as enabling the Crown to
| discharge its duties satisfactorily to them.
The Premier of New South Wales
proposes that the Assembly address
the Queen, advising that the office
of governor of a colony henceforth
be confined to that class of public men
who can be called to assist in the gov
eminent of the empire, and also that the
colonial governments be informed OF the
Governments intended action before the
| appointment be made absolute.
The National Game.
The National Baseball League met in
New York November goth in executive
session. The Joint Rules Committee OF
the baseball clubs has completed the
largest part of its work An endeayor
was made by few delegates to reintro-
duce the high and low ball system, but
the majority were against the idea and
voted it down.
One OF the most important subjects
discussed was the position of the pitcher.
During the past season some players
complained that the pitcher was not far
enough away from the batsman and that
a position three or four feet back would
be more suitable. 4 motion to that
effect was voted down.
Since it was decided that an umpire
should stand behind the pitcher he has
interfered with rather than helped the
batsman When the batsman has hit
fair ball, sending it over the pitchers
head and hitting the umpire, he has no
allowance and is compelled to run. The
pitcher has only to stoop and pick up
the ball in order to throw him out at
first. To remedy this the committee de-
cided that struck ball constitutes a
base hit and gives the batsman the base
when it hits the umpire. In order to
improve the pitching the committee has
reduced the balls to four for the next
season. The three strikes remain as
usual TIE rule regarding foul tips has
been abolished and hereafter man will
be allowed to run on them.
At the evening session it was decided
to allow each club the privilege OF hav-
ing on the grounds tenth player in full
uniform ready at the end of an even
inning to take the place of any player.
This man would be in addition to the
substitute who has always been allowed
to take the place of an injured player.
An attempt to introduce new rule, pro-
viding that the player who oyerruns
second base should not be declared out,
was voted down.
At 9p. m. the committee met in con-
ference with the Scorers Association TO
embody in their report next day to the
convention the suggestions about scoring
changes given by newspaper men. The
main subject discussed was the simplif-
cation of the tabulated scores. 1t was
generally agreed that the stolen-base
column should be done away with and
its record included in the summary.
Byrn's suggestion that stolen base
should be credited when the player sue
ceeded in securing a base after a fair ball
was caught on the fly was generally APP
proved. Adjourned

THE DAY OF CAST STEEL OVER
shipbuilders Have Practically Decided
to Abandon its Use.

| Shipbuilders Have Practically Decided
to Abandon it's Use.
The following is Washington spe-
cial of October 10th to the New York
Herald:
There seems to be a growing desire on
the part of the shipbuilders to do away
with cast steel for use in building the
machinery of the vessels of war Dur
ing the past year or two experience has
proven to the practical shipbuilder and
designer that the tendency of large steel
castings to develop flaws is greatly on
the increase and nearly all of the Eng
lish firms and a great many in this
country have practically decided to
abandon their use The principle laid
down for these flaws, that the harder
the metal the greater the liability to
cracks, caused no doubt by the unequal
tension liz cooling, seems to be the one
generally agreed upon.
Humphreys & Tenant, the designers
of the Baltimore's engines, had never
used steel castings in their machinery
when they made that design, and only
incorporated them on account OF the
popular craze for that material. Since
then the use of steel castings in few
engines has proved them to be so unre-
liable that Messrs. Humphreys & Ten
nant will not now use them in their
machinery except at the risk of persons
ordering engines with that material in
them, and they win use no steel castings
without guarantee from The makers of
the castings to assume the cost of all
damages arising from their breakage.
The Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco, which has the contract to build
the new cruiser Charleston, are adopting
the same principles and are only using
cast steel when it is absolutely neces-
sary. Forged iron and forged steel are
now being used, and in the last three
English war ships built cast steel was
entirely discarded, and the sternpost of
each was constructed of PHOSPHORUS
bronze. 1t is believed that the trouble
would be equally serious in cast steel
ordnance, but as no official trial OF the
ten inch gun at Annapolis has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department it is i'm
possible to speak definitely on that point
but so far as steam machinery is con-
cerned, the use of cast steel is rapidly
becoming a thing of the past.

Linuor rrnnic in Africa.

At the late missionary conference in
London, Rev. w Allen gave startling
statistics as to the African liquor traffic
which he characterized as a mission
agency of Satan. At Sierra Leone $780,
600 gallons of intoxicants were imported
last year and at Lagos 900 gallons
in the same time. The last three resolu-
tions adopted at this convention favored

Fastest Eastward Trip on Record.
According to cable dispatch from
Queenstown the Umbria reached that
port at 10 O'Clock at night on the 18th.
The Umbria would thus have made the
fastest eastward passage across the At
lantic on record, her running time being
six days, two hours and twenty-five
minutes. The best eastward passage
made hitherto was made by the Etruria
in April, 1888, being six days, four hours
and forty minutes. The best westward
passage on record is six days, one hour
and fifty minutes by the Etruria. Ac-
cording to all accounts brought in by
ships from over the ocean, the Umbria
had bowling northwest gale TO boom
her along the whole week through.

SIGNATURE AND SPACE.
Shall the Newspaper Article BE Signed?
Effects of the Space system.

Shall the Newspaper Article he Signed?
Effects of the Space System
Space writing makes newspaper work
vast gamble; there is always the allurinS
vision of ''big story" tomorrow, which
justides the extravagant expenditure Of
today. There Is nothing more calculated to
demora0ze a man than constantly varying
income. II is all very well for moralists to
claim that the worker should calculate upon
the minimum, It Is not i'll human nature TO
do So The cases where a space worker man
ages to save any money are very rare. while
the salaried man, whose weekly pay may not
be so large as the average Of the space worker,
in nine cases out OF ten has snug bank ac-
count Besides demorahzing the men, the
space system directly INJURIES the papers them
selves. A salaried man has very little tempta-
ton to enlarge upon she facts, his effort is not
to make long story in order to lengthen his
string, but only to make good one, that be
may strengthen his bold upon the paper. The
salaried man is rareiy 'fakir," the space
worker has every temptation 60 be. OF the
padded stories and sloppy writing which the
space system encourages, there is no need TO
speak; We have to suffer more and more from
it every day.
that It makes no distinction as TO quality,
but only regards quantity. One result Is
that every live newspaper has each day pre-
pared rs much aga,n copy as can be used,
and in every Office one or more men are EN-
ployed for the sole purpose Of destroying the
labor of other men For obvious reasons it is
almost impossible for a man IN the office TO
understand thoroughly every story which
passes under his blue pencsa, and us a natural
result " copy chopping is rarely done very
judiciously. Again, there Is very little in
ducement for a man to make a story good,
unless at the same time be can make Il long.
A column Is column whether il be brilliant
or dull.
II, as many editors claim, 1t is impractical
! BILE to do away with the space system, sigma
ture could be brought in with good effect to
modify it and lessen its injustice. II the
copy reader was empowered to attach the
signature Of the writer to a meritorioB
article, it would furnish an inducsment for
better writing and more accurate work. 1t
would enable conscientious man To build up
a reputation for himself outside Of the paper
on which he is employed. It would be, at
least, recognition Of good work. There are
very few men who would be willing to see
their signatures Iappended to statements
which they know to be false or 20 writing
which they know to be sloppy. The benefit
would be mutual TO tho paper and the writer.
