OF the day was the remarkably good play Of Miss

enjoys the distinction Of being the only woman
except Miss Hoyt who has done better than 80

was strong and accurate and her putting ma

was perfectly, true, just brushing the hold disk.
Tho ball reached the cup on the second shot,

Stewards 80 for the last nine holes makes a
new record. 1t has never been equalled on tho
links: An extra hole was necessary to settle the
tie. Douglas won 1t. and in q sensational way.
On the green. after Stewart had played 8 and
Douglas 4. tho balls were within q foot OF tho
hole, but Stewart had laid a stimie to Douglas.
There was a gallery" u thousand strong about
the green. and each spectator studied closely

the intervening one. and SO drop It into the cup.
Always n risky shot, Douglas faced 1t as calmly
as though 1t were an ordinary put. Taking his
mashie, he hit the ball a gentle tap and II do
arts ball and landing safely within tho cup.
This gave the match TO him by one up.
The result really decided the ownership Of the

The Welcome Policy.

Senator Sherman, during Thursdays
debate on the Sanguilly resolution,
said II am in favor of the pending
Joint resolution, and 1 think 1t ought
to command the unanimous approval
of the senate. / believe that gross in
justice, almost barbarous injustice, has
been done to naturalized citizen of
the United States, who has right to
protection from the president. 1 in
tend to stand by the committee on ap-
propriations from this day to the end
of the session, but that shall not pre-
vent me from doing what l think is
right in behalf of the policy of the
United States to protect its citizens
against unlawful and insolent treat
ment. l trust the time will never come
when an American citizen can be
wronged or prosecuted by any power,
great or small. I am in favor of pro-
tecting this American citizen. though
he is a naturalized citizen. 1 am op-
posed to wrong and violence and tyr
amy wherever 1t is exercised; and
when it is exercised against an Ameri-
can citizen 1 will stand up for him,
even if l am alone"
1t is reported by Julius Chambers,
who says he knows that his informa-
tion is correct, that President-elect Nc
Kinley has expressed his intended pol
icy with reference to Cuba in these
words: "CONSERVATISM ON EV-
ERY PHASE OF THE CUBAN
QUESTION EXCEPT THE RIGHTS
OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. THESE
MUST AND SHALL BE PROTECT

try. They enunciate the welcome
