Probable Composition Of the New French
Cabinet-Mrs. Deacon Lied About
Abeille's Visit.

BERLIN, Feb. 2I-At a banquet given in
Brandenburg, at which the emperor was the
guest OF honor, his majesty made an address, in
which he blamed the critics of the government
as enemies OF the state. He urged all who loved
the fatherland to follow him on the course he
had entered. He continued:
Unfortunately, 1t has now become the fashion
to criticise and nag at every step taken by the
government. The public peace is disturbed on
the most Insignificant grounds; the enjoyment
OF life shared by the whole German faIher!anu
Is enyenomed. As result OF this nagglng per
secution many persons are imbued with the ldea
that our country is the most unhappy and worst
government in the world, and that life in such
country is a perfect plague. That is not me
it not be better if the discontinued
persons were TO shake the dust OF Germany from
OIL their feet? We live i'll a state OF t.anslIloi.
Germany is gradually emerging ir~m infancy.
She is now about to enter the period OF youth:
1t would be WE'LL therefore, II we free ourselves
from infant maadies. We live in exciting DAYS,
but quieter days are in store. since our ptople,
now united, undeterred by the utterancos o,
voices abroad, are putting their trust IN Hcu
and in the loyal, soloitous efforts
Of their heredi airy ruler. The the r hrm

firmly convinced that He who was our any a.

me in the lurch. We still have great Destiny
before US, and an leading you 10 glorious
days.
The emperor's reply TO attacks upon the policy
of the government was: "My course is the right
one. and it will be prosecuted to the utmost"
The Freissi1nige Zsitlag comments severely on
the speech and SAYS Germany no longer needs
absolutsm, but constitutional government.

GOSSIP OF BASEBALL.
The DoiDgG of Clubs and Players on tn
Pacific Coast

Word comes from California that there are
quite number of ball players now in that sec
ton who are looking TO the Pacific Northwest
for engagements the coming season. Most of
them are now playing with some snap com
bination to tide over the winter. There are
several good men who have been with the Los
Angeles team but are not TO be retained for the
California League club to be established there
one OF the best OF them is reported to be o. IL.
Smith, an outdelder, who is said TO be a wonder
not oaiy as Il fielder but at the bat and on the
base lines During the exhibition games with
strong clubs he had II batting average uf .3}} and
q fielding average OF 1000, besides leading his
team in base.ruuning His friends claim that
modesty is all that kept him IRON going to the
top.
Other men on the team are Bill Goodenough,
who was with Sacramento last season;
Jumper" Darby, who played almost every
where aud pitched few good games for Port
land, Or; Rappold, who was on Sea;tle's pay
roll in 1890, bu; had little chance TO show his
ability as catcher and Britain. VINO was with
Tacoma the same season. i player whom Glen
alvin Will probably retain is young Hulen, who
has been playing third base during the winter
in excellent shape. This man has been con.
founded with Huiu, VINO was with Portland in
1S9o. The youugster in question is Santa
Rosa boy, who has never had a genuine profes-
sioual engagement His only experience in the
Pacific Northwest was with the Port Townsend
Colts season before last.
Oakland is after Giililand, the pitcher for
whom Manager Powell has a line ont He is a
big, strong slX-loOter, who played in Los An
gales during the winter of 1859.
G,enAlViu has signed Roach, southpaw twir-
Ter who was with the Lincoln club last season
in the Western Association.
Pitcher Tommy HarueT, who has signed with
Oakland, has coached the la,e baseball team
for several years.
