For Central American Federation.
Bradsreet's.

Bradsireets.
Reports recently received from Cen
tral America seem to point to the ey-
istence OF feeling in favor of fedora
ton on the part OF the bulk at least of
the inhabitants Of the republics there.
The latest advices from that part of
the world indicate that the movement
toward federation among the republics
mas reached such a stage that draft
OF the constitution has received the
approval of the presidents Of three of
the republics, and that it only awaits
ratification by the legislatures of those
countries in order to be put in force.
No "details as to the nature or scope of
this constitution have come TO hand,
and, indeed, only the most meager in
formation as to what has been done
ls accessible at all. 1t is understood,
however, that one object proposed by
the trainers of the constitution is the
establishment of freer trade relations.
not only with the other Central Ameri-
can States, but also with the republic
OF Mexico, and perhaps with the other
Latin American countries. As ia usual
IN cases like that now engaging the
attention of public men in Central
America, the question of finance, in
Guiding that Of arranging for refunding
the debts of the federating States, con-
stitutes probably the most trying cues
ton to be disposed of. Whether this
question is covered in the constitution
said to have been in part adopted does
not appear. Ordinarily provision of
that kind would form an obstacle TO
anything like speedy agreement, and
It is possible that it may be left to
future negotiation between the repub-
lies, or possibly to future legislation.

STRONG smyrna club.
Rockford was defeated on Saturday
by the strong Smyrna club, on the
Union street grounds. The attendance
was good, there being about 1000 peo-
pie present, and all seemed anxious to
have the home club win, but were
doomed to disappointment.
Both pitchers wero wild each one
hitting two batsmen and neither twirler
could always locate the plate. At
critical points, however, the pitchers
seemed to steady down. Kilroy,
brother Of the famous Mat, was in the
holes for the visitors, and Kenney did
the honors for the home club.
1t must be said, in Justice to Rock
ford, the Smyrna club is made up
mainly Of material imported from the
cities, Of players who have either been
professionals or semi professional The
Rockford players are all workingmen
and they have very little time to prac-
