rested between San Antonio and Gal

offered to shake dice with Dermody
for the cup. Waco had claimed the
cup and Drake wanted to go to the

was declined, and Waco will have to do
without the cup"
Mr.. Heuermann represented San An
tonic at the request of the local club
people. O'Connor e. Weber, lessees of
the club the past season, were not at
the meeting and were not represented.
All the clubs agreed to hold their res

Chairman Nick Young, of the Nation

Mr.. Heuermann was elected arbitra-

succeed Aleck Easton, of Galveston.
All disputes regarding forfeited games,
etc., will be referred to him.
A number of ex-Texas league play

have always believed that policy is a
factor in the plans of every general-in-
chief and the policy of today compar-
able with an energetic military action,
consists in being lenient with the re-
pentant and memorable with the i'm
penitent traitors.
This is the policy of the government
and Gen. Blanco, which 1 propose to
follow, seconding it with the loyalty
which has always characterized my
public actions.
Il cannot, nor do / wish to concur
with the foolishness of making declar-
ations, but without wishing that it
should be taken as a profession of faith
/ should say that / have always been
inspired with sympathy toward admin
istrative autonomy of our Basque prov
inces. This opinion is not a new one
for me, because in the Spanish Cortes
have always favored the greatest
Capitalization in administrative colon
ial functions-which is not surprising
because 1 was educated according to
the cannons of our military koran, the
"ordenanza,' Spanish army regula-
tions) in which all military men have
learned what is administrative auton-
omy in bodies which are put into mo-
ton, military organizations, be they
companies, battalions or brigades. 1t
is very grave error to suppose that
political concessions of the Spanish
government have been given to an en-
envy to secure peace. They are given
to the loyal and to the repentant; but
for the incendiaries, the dynamiters,
Spain reserves the action of force and
without temporizing measures.
Cuba, then, to avoid being a choas
or theatre of bloody strife, ought to re-
main Spanish, because only belonging
to Spain can be guaranteed its COM
mercial relations with the civilized
world, especially so when the isthmus
of Panama shall not longer be an is
thmus, but the oceans can be joined in
some manner.
1.-THE United States are more inter-
ested than in any other nation in Gu
ba remaining under the Spanish flag,
because they prefer to assure prosper
ity of their commerce to making enc
mics of Europe.
About independence, let US not
speak, because no person Of sane judg-
ment ought to take into consideration

WHAT RoBLEDO SAYS
Weyler is the Coming Man, Beloved of
Spain.

| Spain.
New York, Nov. 15.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
The two men on whom all eyes of
Spain will shortly be fixed are Gen.
Weyler and Senior Robledo. OF these,
1t is impossible to interview the former
as he is at this moment on the high
seas.
Senior Robledo said to the Herald COR
| respondent:
Gen. Weyler is at this moment the
one man in Spain upon whom the ear
nest scrutiny of every Spaniard is ex-
| pectantly fixed. In spite of what has
| been said against him in the United
| States, he represents the type and en-
| bodiment of the Spanish national hon
or. All the parties in Spain, Republi-
cans, Carlists and all, knowing this
quite well, are endeavoring to secure
him for their own and are making ten
tative efforts to win him over to their
side. 1t is impossible to predict which
party he will favor and it is all the
harder to make an approximate predic-
ton because Weyler is essentially a.
soldier and very little of a politician,
1 am inclined to think, however, he will
favor the party of which 1 am cham
pion. My only grounds for thinking
this are that such political ideas as he
is known to profess would best chime
in with the ideas of my party.
Gen. Weyler represents the essence
OF the Spanish character. And he iss
noble with regard to the
army. OF course even in the army
he has enemies. But the large major
ity of the army is at his back, and de-
voted to him. Therefore, as I say, he

STREET-SPRINKLING

Soon the dust will be flying about
New Haven, carrying with it innumer-
able germs of disease and rage, Then
when the powers that be get entirely
ready much water will be put on the
streets and the bicyclists will begin to
howl
any one that there might be something
better than pure or dirty water en-
ployed for sprinkling streets until the
University of California began expert
ments to discover some compound that
would last longer than water in laying
the dust and still be so inexpensive as
not to add to the cost of the ordinary
California, like Santa Clara, the roads
are sprinkled from May to October
and in that county the cost of the ser
vice is about $4,000 annually. With a
view to finding some substance that
would prevent the rapid evaporation of
the water and thus keep the streets
moist for a longer time than where
water alone is used, the University of
California set about making expert
ments with three chemicals, viz: Chic
ride of calcium, chloride of magnesium
and bittern, this last being concen-
trated sea water from which common
salt had been crystallized The first
experiment was made with chloride of
magnesium. Some of this chloride was
dissolved in water and sprinkled on 500
square feet of very dusty road. At the
same time the same adjoining area was
sprinkled with water. The water
sprinkled area was as dusty as ever at
the end OF three hours, but the area
ride remained moist and dustless until
a heavy rain had leached the salt out
Of the surface sprinkled. A similar test
was made with the chloride of calcium,
with still better results, but many rains
interfered with the experiments with
bittern.
Perhaps some such mixture as one of
these will be found to be better for the
streets and the bicycles than even the
purest and best water Further expert
ments will be watched with interest,

room POPULKS11S,

If Kansas is not sickened by Pop
has not been a large one. Last fall the
Kansas Populists swept everything be-
fore them Their heads were full of
free silver and schemes to tax foreign
judgments, to reduce the legal rate of
interest, to prohibit usury, to tax mort
cages and other credits and to impose
a maximum freight rate on the rail
roads When the election came they
swept everything before them, captur-
ing the governorship, the legislature
and the courts,
The Populist legislature doesn't APP
pear to have been as Populistie as it
was before it began to do business. A
woman Populist told it to it's face, or
it's checks: "You have been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. God
have pity on your souls!" Something
went wrong with the Populistic pro-
gramme. The bill providing for the
taxation of foreign judgments was de-
feated. The bill reducing the legal
rate of interest met the same fate The
law against usury was suffered to stand
just as the Republicans had con-
structed 1t. The bill taxing mortgages
and other credits was slaughtered with
out remorse, and the maximum freight
rate bill was killed at so many places
and so many times that enough can
hardly be gathered together to make a
respectable funeral The Smith county
Pioneer denounces the legislature in
the following terms: Taken all the
way through. We charge, without fear
of successful contradiction, that the
present legislature, with all its prom
ises or radical changes in the interest
of their constituents, has been the most
lswiess, unsatisfactory legislature that

An eminent surgeon says that just
below the lower end of the breastbone,
and between it and the point where the
belt passes around the body in front, is
a space which is not protected by bone,
as all the rest of the body above the
belt is-except the neck. Directly back
of this point, which is usually desig-
mated as the pit of the stomach, lying
near the backbone, is the epigastric or
solar plexus of nerves. 1t is d kind of
a substation, where the nerves from
every organ in the abdominal cavity
meet The only protection to this plex-
us in front is the skin and muscles,
which form the abdominal wall at this
point. A blow delivered here with SUI
fcient force to overcome the muscular
resistance and carry the skin, muscles,
etc. in front of the fist, will inevitably
land on the solar plexus, and a single
blow to that plexus means q blow to
every organ in the abdominal cavity

FASHION NOTES.


Where Innings Cost More Than Outsides.
The transparent summer goods now
on view in the stores are delight to
the eye and danger to the purse, not
the latter because of their own cost,
but because of the handsome Innings
that must go under them. These cost a
pretty penny, and consequently the no.
ton for the coming season for fancy
waists of null, organdie or other wash
goods will be welcome one to econom-
zeal women, for, after ALL it is the skirt
of the transparency that counts so
much against economy, AS to that,
you may wear white skirt of silk
