CABINET AROUSED.

What Senior Canalejas witnessed may
account for the cabled report from Mad
rid that at yesterdays cabinet council,
at which the queen regent presided,
Premier Sagasta reported that the
military operations in the province Of
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, show it to be an
important center of rebellion. notwith-
standing that General Weyler declared
it pacifed.'
Another official announcement tells of
a sharp skirmish" in eastern Cuba
where General Pando, the chief of mil
itary operations on the island-who was
falsely reported killed a few days ago
is personally conducting a campaign
against General Gomez. The Spanish
losses are said to have been silent.

Interstate managers have boosted that
they have one of the strongest minor base
ball leagues in the country. If any PROOF
were needed to substantiate this state
ment. it was furnished by the exhibition
games played during the past week. Inc
contesting teams were on an equality IN
so far as preliminary practice is concern
ed. and the Interstate teams made a show
ing in every game, which was very graft
fving to the managers of teams and the
army of fans. in the circuit. The Old
Trjstate league holds the record for the
number OF players graduated in single
season into the major organization. Last
wear the number was small, but such play
ers as Grey and GiIboy will eventually
find their way snto the ranks of the
National league. The Interstate clubs
this season contain a great deal of prom
ising material. and it is altogether likely
that the record Of the Old Tristate will
be duplicated.

CYCLING. NOTES.

Every day the number of bicycles
seen on the streets shows an increase.
In the evenings about one-half the rid
ers to be seen are ladies. Perhaps no
where has cycling more enthusiastic de-
voices among the fair sex than in
Wheeling. Dealers appreciate this fact,
and have placed orders for larger num-
her of ladies wheels than ever before.
Members of the l.. \. ". aud wheel
men generally are very much pleased
with the bicycle law adopted by the last
Legislature. 1t gives them everything
thew could ask in reason. and VIII De
especially valuable to tourists, from the
fact that the law is uniform in Its ap-
plication. officers Of the League Will
continue the agitation for good roads,
and it is likely that when the time ar
rives for another session Of the Legisla-
ture. there will be several bills intro
duced in the interest Of wheelmen.

The rainy weather of the past week was
not at all favorable to bicycle club pro-
iects, and matters locally are in about
the same condition as week ago. IT
is certain. however. that there will be
more riders in Wheeling than ever before,
and that there will also be a greater num-
Der of organizations The matter of n
womans club has been discussed very
freely. but it is doubtful if it will result
in anything tangible. Lady riders may
form organizations with a membership OF
ten or twelve, but they will rarely exceed
that number. From sporting standpoint
the ioutlok for the season is very encour-
aging, as all indications point to race
meet under the auspices of the Carroll
Club Cyclers, and possibly ,neets by other
organizations. These affairs have been
growing in interest. and IT is likely that
the organization which conducts n meet
during the coming summer willsnot be
compelled &c bankrupt its treasury in
making up a deficiency between expenses
and gate receipts.

test will be secured as It is ten round

ccipts than if given in this city Among
the big 'uns," there is still talk Of an

not any likelihood that the two will come

The arrival of Kid Mccoy from South
Africa, has started the tongues of the
knowing ones a-wagging, for Mccoy has
been tipped as the coming champion.
The Kid fought a battle at Belmont
Park several years ago. He was then
without u reputation and was ready to
fake" a battle for a consideration The
talk about Mccoy has also brought Stef-
fors. of Toledo. into prominence. from the
fact that he put Mccoy out in one round
in Cleveland. Notwithstanding he well

pugilistic career Of Mccoy there are many
lovers of puglism in this city who believe
that he will one day be the worlds cham

The Tristate circuit embraced n number
Of good cities, and the organization lived
for several seasons. Excessive salaries
and kindred base ball diseases, resulted in
It's untimely' dissolution. With past eX-
perience as a guide. and with all condi-
tons favorable TO the organization, the
Interstate should experience very sue
cessful season. 1t has n larger Dopula-
ton from which to draw its patronage,
a loyaI press. a healthy base ball senti-
ment. uniformly strong teams, and capa-
bic management. Each club has sufficient
financial backing to tide over temporary
reverses. even if local pride would not
prevent a withdrawal before the close Of
the season.
What has been said of the league gen.
orally, applies particularly to the local
club The management has started in
with the determination to practice econ
omy to a degree which will prevent waste
fulness. and at the same time not inter-
fere with good results. A minor league
base ball franchise is not a gold mine.
and II would appear that economy is alb
solutely essential to the permanancy Of a
club. especially when it IS a private en-
terurise. The club win compare favora-
bly, in its personnel with any in the cir
cult. Without any intention to indulge in
the cheap buster Characteristic OF all the
cities at this season, the claim may be
made in all modesty. that Wheeling will
not be lower than the first division. This
is IS much as n Fan" can reasonably de-
mand. yet Wheeling lovers hope for even
better things. Some releases We're made
