Shonld be Nahhed.

Word reaches the LIGHT throug b
a reliable source, though no names
were mentioned, that a party OF
San Antonio hunters went out to
the Bell ranch, on the Culebra
road, last Saturday evening, re-
naming over Sunday and bagged
upwards Of 40 quail.
This is in direct violation OF the
state game laws and should these
hunters, whoever they were, be
caught and the killing Of quail out
OF season proven hundreds of true
sportsmen in San Antonio would
contribute literally toward a fund
to prosecute the culprits to the
full extent of the law.

BASEBALL.

Management and the Players.
The defeat OF the Bronchos in
the Houston series was attributed
to weak hitting. 1t certainly was
not weak hitting that caused their
defeat yesterday. There is some
thing the matter with the team +,
and the sooner this is ferreted out
the better it will be for the game.
There is no system in the playing
and every man plays for himself.
Manager Lawrence, who started
out 80 well, seems to have an ele-
plant on his hands. He has been
very silent of late. A sort Of chill
illness prevails between him and
his men. He acts as If he is dis
gusted and is only in the game for
himself, leaving the others to take
care for themselves. AS long as
this continues the team will never
play ball.
The action of the directors in
suspending and filming Catcher Of
ten did not have good effect. OF.
ten has just been notified d few
days ago of his suspension and fine,
because he missed the train to
Houston. While discipline must
be upheld. there is way Of deal
ing moderately with the players,
il harmony is desired, and har-
mony is half the game. What San
Antonio needs, and has never yet
had in all her baseball experience,
is a competent manager, who has
sole charge OF the players, and can
sign, release, suspend or fine them
as he sees tit. The players will
then respect the manager and
play ball for him as he tells them.
McCloskey would fill the bi II.
The men would either have
to play ball for him or look for
other jobs.
A word for the the players. A
ball player is but human, and it is
human to err. For a while every
body liked the Bronchos and
wouldn't trade them for all the
players In the state. But when
they began losing games they were
not even given pleasant look. As
stated above, tho teams poor show
ing is attributed to poor manage
ment. But that's no reason why
the teams fielding has fallen of.
This is due to the condition of the
ball ground. The grounds are in
such horrible shape that clean
fielding is impossible. Said John
Bammert, the popular little short
stop Of the Galveston team, last
night: "I've played on some
mighty rough diamonds in my
time, but 1 must say this is the
worst I've seen in a long while.
Why these grounds will ruin a
good bali player. Betweenl the
glazing afternoon sun and such
horrible grounds am surprised
that the fielders get half the balls
they do. You can gay for me that
Percy Griffin Is as good a shortstop
as there is in the league"

IN noNoR or MARK HANNA.
A Luncheonat at Which Many Distinguished
Men Were Present.

New York, Nov. 10.-A luncheon was
given this afternoon in the banquet
hall of the Equitable building by Isaac
HI. Seligman, of the banking house of
j. & W. Seligman & Co., in honor of
Mark A. Hanna There We're about
thirty or forty guests at the table,
among them being General Horace Por-
ter, Cornelius N. Bliss, Carl Schurz,
General Louis Fitzgerald, president of
the Mercantile Trust; Seth Low, D. o.
Mills, and j. Edward Simmons, presi-
dent of the Fourth National bank.
Mr.. Seligman, in the course of some
remarks, emphasized the Importance of
joint action in the future by the repub-
lican and national democrats in settling
the currency question. He paid a trib-
ute to the work for national honor and
credit done by Mr., Hanna and then in
troduced that gentleman.
Mr.. Hama spoke at length and said
he felt he was addressing an import
ant body of New York bankers and
merchants. He stated also that the
administration recently chosen would
go into office without pledges of any
kind and wholly uncommitted as re-
garded the formation of a cabinet.
This statement was greeted with ap-
plause Mr.. Hanna also spoke on the
general character of the work done by
political organizations in the recent
campaign, and said republicans and
national democrats would preserve
their organizations intact to further
the work so auspiciously begun. He
hoped this organization would be able
to enlist all good citizens in the good
work still to be done to bring about
| thoroughly good citizens.
There Were several other informal
talks, and the opinion was expressed
that after so many years of stormy dis
cussion an absolute rest was needed,
and no new political question should be
pushed to the front to disturb business
1t was felt the business men should
now have an opportunity to build up
national industries, and If that We're
done there would be such an advance
in general prosperity that laboring men
as well as business men would feel the
beneficial results of the last election.

GoID FoR CUSTOMS DUES.
Yellow Coin Being Received for the First
Time in Several Years.

Washington, Nov. 10,-The treasury,
for the first time in several years, is
receiving gold for customs duties. For
this reason, and because gold is being
withdrawn from boarding places and
deposited in the various sub treasures
the gold balance at the close of busi-
ness to-day had increased to 1922, 234, Il
315. The present policy of the depart,
ment is to discourage the receipt of
gold, as the treasury has not on hand,
without mountaineering itself, suffi-
Client currency to exchange for all the
gold likely to be offered.
The present treasury balance is $685.
500, 900, of which Exclusive of the $122,-
100000 gold) s51, ,S53 900 is in greenbacks
and s39, All 900 in Sherman notes. Only
$13 ,3430 900 of silver certificates remain
in the treasury The continued in
crease in the deficit is now engaging
the attention of Secretary Carlisle and
will be treated by him in his annual
report.
1t is rumored that he will recommend
an increase in the tax on beer from 81
to 81 per barrel This proposition is
said to be favored by Commissioner
Miller The treasury deficit for the
month to date-one-third of the month
having passed-is 81, ,453 900, making an
aggregate since July 1, 1895, of $37, ,342,-

Says Michigan Sentiment Does Not Indorse
AIger for the Cabinet.

Canton, O., Nov. 10.-Goyernor- elect
Pingree of Michigan came from Detroit
to-day to see the president-elect. In
cidentally he had something to say
about the availability Of General r.
A. Alger for a cabinet appointment,
saying to several persons here that he
did not think public sentiment in Michi-
gan was very much aroused in behalf
of the ex-governor.
The members of the Union Medical
association of northeastern Ohio called
in body this evening and were cor
daily greeted by the president-elect.
Most of the other callers to-day were
people who had been engaged in various
forms of campaign work.
Major Mckinley expects to leave on
Thursday for a weeks visit with Col
onal Myron T. Herrick at Cleveland.
A personal friend here of Chauncey
M. Depew says that he has Mr.. Depew's $
word for it that he would not accept
a position in the cabinet If it were Of
fered him. In a letter of congratula-
tion to the president-elect, Mr.. Depew
says:
II feel that the country has greater
cause for gratitude than at any time
since Lincoln's election in both the re-
suit of this contest and the candidate
with whom patriotism and sound money
succeeded"

SERPENT OF REPUTATION"
ONLY SCOTCHED-NOTR KILLED, SAYS
THE HONEST MONEY LE1G UE.

Struggle Should be Continued Unremit-
tingly Until 1t IS Dead-several States
Lost Which Should Have Been Saved
Campaign of Education Must he Prose-
cuted Against the silver Heresy.
New York, Nov. 10.-An address has
been issued by the Democratic Honest
Money league to the honest money de-
mocracy The address in part says:
From the latest utterances of those
who led the assault upon American
honor it is evident thta the serpent of
reputation has been only scotched-
not killed. These men assert their un-
shaken faith in the vicious principles
enunciated by the Chicago convention
and declare their intention of continu-
ing the battle during the next four
years and of forcing the same issue
upon this country in 1900
I'm the face of these assertions and
declarations but one course is open to
the citizens of the country who stand
for national honor and safety and
against reputation; to continue the
struggle until even Mr.. Bryan as well
as his associates shall seek the light of
truth, and abandon the contest.
1T is a well known fact that Mr..
Bryan was at the zenith of his popu-
larity and power about the middle Of
August last and that his defeat is due
to the splendid educational work of the
several orga nizations which fought for
honest money.
But, although we have succeeded by
the narrowness of the margin in certain
states which were saved and the fact
that several which should have been
saved were lost-states, every one of
which can be brought into line for hon.
est money by continued educational eff
fort-shows the urgency of the need for
further action.
This league asks all honest money
organizations throughout the United
States to continue under arms for the
present with a view to meeting the at
| tack; to extend their work and influ-
ence into the states which were not
successfully covered during the cam
paign, and to continue in communica-
tion with this body, which will remain
in the field while there is work to be
done.''

The Board of SeIectmen Hear Claim for
$1,000.

The Board of Selectmen Hear a Claim for
ST. 900.
A claim of 81, 900 damages was pre-
sented to the board of selectmen last
evening by Judge Hotchkiss, attorney
for H. w. Alling, who holds that his
property was damaged this amount by
grading Crescent street. The claimant
AYERS that by cutting down the street
to the present grade the town has in
convenienced him and made his prop
erty much less desirable than it was
before the change of grade was made.
Several other property holders on Cres-
cent street are preparing to make
similar claim
The finance committee reported that
the proposition to allow Patrolman
Ahearn the SIS damages for injury done
his dwelling by blasting stones could
not be carried out, as the committee re-
fused to accede to the demands of the
claimant in consideration of the amount
of money paid.
al bllc ltSL lON Ii lieSllllS IL was NOJSu
to expend $1,000 for the purchase of
land adjacent to the Beaver Ponds
Park. In accordance with that vote the
following properties have been pur-
chased: 110 feet on Crescent street at
the corner of Munson street, 10 feet of
Mrs. Farrell, and 10 feet of E. M. Clark
on Crescent street, six acres of land
of A. N. Farnham on Bassett street
on the east side of the park, lot on
Willis street belonging to the Osborn
estate, and on Ford street lot belong
ing to S. Robinson. The amount of the
purchases exceed the appropriati ton S215.
Part of the land is on a bluff, while
large area is meadow and marsh The
committee is of the opinion that there
is enough Of the high land to fill up the
meadow without going off the land pur-
chased for dirt. The board will hold a
hearing next Tuesday evening on the
matter of the removal of the tracks Of
the New Haven Street Railway com
pany at Morris Cove.

"DOLLIR WHEAT" IN SIGHT
One Third of the Argentine Crop Destroyed
by Locusts

New York, Nov. 10-"Dollar wheat"
appears to be in sight and the prospect
is that the flow Of gold from Europe
will soon be resumed. Cash wheat red
No. 2, the standard grade, sold to-day
at "a cents d bushel On August IA
last it sold at 64 cents The chief deal
ings to-day We're in December wheat.
The opening price was S7% or ~ cents
above the closing price of Monday.
The low price of the day was 81 1-16
cents on a split sale" the high price
was SO cents, and the final price was
1885 cents, or 2A cents above the final
price of Monday. The high price pre-
vious to Monday was S6 9-16 on split
sale" on October 10. A potent factor in
moving up wheat was a dispatch from
Rosario saying the locusts had already
destroyed one-third of the Argentine
wheat crop and were still doing dam
age. In addition there was informa-
tion that the drought continued in In
dia and Australia.
