Since the famous Temple cup series
has been inaugurated in the National
league, number of minor leagues
have followed the idea with apparent
success. Last year the Western
league played for the Detroit Free
Press cup. the Eastern league for the
Steinert cup and the Atlantic league
for the Soby cup. This year the Tex
as league is to have a cup series. The
HGrnSheim Cigariirm of New Orleans
has offered a $500 trophy to be played
for between the two leading clubs af
ter the season closes. The idea is
meeting with approval everywhere.

Very little has been said of Con
Harlow. who is here on trial as pit
cher. Harlow has played ball since
1893. when he was with Oregon City
of the Oregon state league. The fol

ricks Independent professional team
at Anaconda, Montana. In 90 he
was with jefferson, Mo-, and also
LOganspOrt of the Indiana state
league Last year he played with an
independent team of COrnellSville. \.
Y. Harlow was born in Portland. Ore,
January u. 1872. weighs 100 pounds,

considered good fielding pitcher and

Nance is a prince in the field, but is
right in his element at the bat. His |

the game yesterday. He had a very |

bat for swipe at the ball. He had |
lots of fun. and so did the tielders-
nit. The kid said the fielders needed |

run after. 1t was soon discovered that |
theonly way to put Nance out was to
place the fielders outside the park

ordered Parvin, Hess and Murray over
the garden wall: Nance's next stroke
sent the ball skyward and gnlfWard

Sea Water for Blood.

M. Quinton, as consequence of his
researches in evolution, believes that
as all the higher organisms, according
to the teachings of evolution, have as
cended from less highly organized
marine ancestry, the liquid which
bathes all the cells of the individual
ought to be chemically similar to sea
water. During experiments made at
the college of France dog was b]ed to
such an extent that death would have
inevitably followed had the animal
been left alone 1t was then given an
intravenous injection of sea water. Ten
days after the operation the dog
showed, as tested by the cnlorimeter,
a larger proportion of hemoglobin than
before the bleeding. All dogs expert
mented on not only survived, but re-
covered with remarkable quickness. M.
Quinton thinks it is on account of it's
holding in suspension the same salts
which are constituents Of sea water
that artificial serum holds the repnta-
ton that it does, and that sea water is
physiologically superior.

THE CARETAKER.

Caretaker is word adopted into modern
use and means one who takes care Of, and
is very generally applied to those employed
to take care of things committed to their
keeping The way some people have OF
taking care of themselves is very suggestive
of the need of caretaker. The human
body to such is mansion filled with pre-
cieus things uncared for, where thieves
may break in and rust doth corrupt. Pains
and aches are thieves, and the body. LETT
uncared for to their spoliage will be robbed
of all its comforts and despoiled OF its peace
of mind and happiness. 1t is happy
thought to look upon St. Jacobs Oil as
caretaker, to employ it as Waterman
against such intruders. There is hardly
an ache, from toothache to toeache,
that it can't take care of and effect cure,
and pains the most violent are conquered
by its use It's office as caretaker is to
prevent the spread of aches and pains into
a chronic stage. Keep bottle OF it IN the
handiest place and be assured of good care
and comfort

TO SHUT US OUT.
France Will Put High Duties on Certain
American Goods.

American Goods.
New York, Dec. 1.-The authorities
in Washington, according to the corre-
spondent of the Herald, have been in
formed that France, while ostensibly
engaged in negotiations with this gov
eminent for a reciprocity treaty, is TAX
ing steps to place prohibitory tariff
upon some American products. The
state department has been notified that
bill is pending in the legislative as
sembly of France imposing high duty
upon certain products, which will prac-
tically make that country closed mar
ket, SO far as the United States is con-
cerned. Ambassador Porter probably
will be requested to make an earnest
protest against the measure.
This bill may cause the authorizes
here to 90 slow in negotiations for the
reciprocity agreement. The depart
ment has received no reply to its propo-
sition that in exchange for lower tariff
on French wines the French govern
ment shall remove the prohibition
against the importation of American
cattle. Unless this concession be grant
ed, the measure referred to may be de-
feated and the reciprocity negotiations
come to naught. Should this happen,
the French government may retaliate
by imposing the maximum tariff under
it's laws upon American products which
now enter under the minimum tariff.
As these products are few, however,
the authorities are not greatly dis
turbed over the outlook.
DR.. Van Hollenben, the new Ger
man ambassador to the United States,
will be formally presented to the pres
ident tomorrow. He is expected to
make representations in regard to the
tariff. The state department is in
formed that Baron Won Hollenben's in
structions contain propositions desig-
mated to lead to reciprocity arrange
ment. It is believed the United States
will require in return for any conces-
sion the removal or abatement at least
of restrictions now imposed upon the
importation into Germany of American
cattle and beef.
The German government, OF course,
will direct it's efforts in the direction
of securing the repeal of the bounty
section of the tariff law, which clearly
affects Germany's sugar interests.
Many representations on this subject
have been made already by the Ger
man authorities. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that the president will recon-
mend any restriction of the tariff law,
and apparently the only way in which
the German government can secure an
advantage for her industries would be
to enter into reciprocity agreement.
Officials are specializing on the atti-
tude of the agrarian interests OF the
German empire and the German en-
peror, who favors the agrarian party
upon their proposition to be submitted.
So far as they have gone the outlook is
not favorable.

romeo Of Downing, Hopkins 4 Co., Chicago
BOARD Of Trade Brokers, 7l1-714 Chamber OF Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.J
The event of the week in the Chicago
wheat market was a jump Of 10 in enc
day in the price Of December options.
The sentimental figure of 81 was
reached for moment. The bulk OF
the wheat in Chicago is in the hands OF
powerful clique, who are in POSI-
ton just now to dictate to the short
sellers of December. These people
keep on declaring there is to be no COR
ner, but squeeze is almost certain.
The outcome of the May price de-
ponds altogether on the worlds statis-
teal position. Europe would not be
taking $500, 900 bushels of wheat and
-four from America in one week if there
did not exist extraordinary necessity
for it. But no one knows how long
this demand will keep up or whether
the price fairly discounts the situation.
A good illustration of how little can be
decided with exactDess about SO vast a
question as the wheat supply is the
conflict of two respectable authorities in
the mere Interpretation of an official
Russian crop report. The Corn Trade
News declares it shows shortage of
102, 900, 900 bushels, compared with
last year, while Beerbohm makes the
shortage only 100000 bushels. The
profession of crop statistics is like the
ology. 1t is so big field as to permit
of all sorts of differences and to enable
each teacher to pose before those imme-
diately around him as the only really
authoritative one.
Nothing would affect the sentiment
at Chicago quicker than falling off in
Northwestern receipts. But on this
comparatively simple problem there is
no unanimity. Pillsbury fortnight
ago predicted confidently that the car
lots at Minneapolis and Duluth by No.
vember 20 would be down to small
figures, with not over 30 per cent of
the crop left in the hands of the farm
ers. There has all through November
been perfect weather for marketing;
but the authorities at Minneapolis are
now predicting another two weeks of
free movement. The weather is to
count great deal on the price between
this and Decmeber 10th. It will make
easy or difficult the continued move
ment Of wheat between Duluth and
Chicago; it will keep open or close up
navigation between Chicgao and Buff
alo, and will influence, too, the move
ment from the spring wheat farmer into
Duluth and Minneapolis.

MASSACRE OF lNNOCENTS.
Frightful Mortality Among the Cuban
Concentrates.

Frightful Mortality Among the Cuban
Concentrates.
New York, Dec. Ia dispatch to
Worlds first figures of Cuba's starva-
ton were timidly moderate. They
showed the deaths of only 900, 900 per-
sons; but every painful fact unearthed
tends to prove them nearly double that
number. When the grim returns are
all In it is now almost certain that this
Cuban massacre of the innocents will
reach 100000. And this awful num-
Der does not include those killed in
battle or the thousands and thousands
of women and children who died of ex-
posture, disease and massacre in the
swamps.
1t now seems certain that more than
half million people, for the most
part loyal subjects of Spain, have been
killed by the Spanish war in Cuba. A
weeks trip through the provinces of
Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has
tended to make moderate this tremen-
dous extreme figure.
The figures of Spanish official reports
show but part of the mortality. They
only give the number buried in conse-
Grated ground, and they do not give
that fully. And yet these official
ultra-Spanish reports of burial permits
issued admit that in the province of
Santa Clara there have died and been
buried since Weyler's fat, 71,847 per-
sons.
The number of people for whose ex-
istence Weyler IS directly responsible
is 155, 1879, in Santa Clara province.
And of these he has killed 86,216, or
over one-half of them. Santa Clara
has so far been by far the least desti-
tute of the provinces. 1t has many
cattle and not very thick population.
Between it and the So per cent admit
ted dead in Pinar del Rio are the prov
inces of Matanzas and Havana, with a
60 and 70 per cent mortality respect
lively. These percentages are estab-
lished by the actual figures of some 80
cities and towns Applied to the den
ser populations of their respective
provinces, the total deaths since Wey-
ler's "bando" will foot up nearly a
million.

Flight of the East Mail.

Pacific has made record for fast run
ming. A mail train has been shot
across the country from Cheyenne to
Council Bluffs, 519 miles, in 500
minutes. This is the actual elapsed
time, and includes all stops. Engines
were changed twice and one engineer
was relieved. All the regular stops
were made, and one extra, for an air
brake hose burst and had to be repaired
at the expense of over five minutes of
time.
A burned-out bridge near Medicine
Bow, Wyo., delayed the mail five hours
and forty minutes, and the train
reached Cheyenne five hours late. It
was necessary to reach Council Bluffs
on time or pay heavy fine to the gov
eminent.
