Several papers, including the New York
Times, look with some favor upon the prop
osltion of the secretary of war to expend
so 100000 in building railroads in Cuba in
order to give the people who must be fed
the opportunity to earn bread and to open
the immensely rich soil of the island to
the outside world. AS it will cost millions
to feed these people. it would be better to
have railroads or something else to show
for the expenditure. Inasmuch as the roads
proposed by the secretary will pay, it seems
that capitalists should not permit the United
states to go into railroad-building.

How Mr.. Mcclellan Would ReOrERnize
the Military EstabIishment.

the Military Estabtishment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Representativs
Mcclellan, of New York, to-day introduced
in the House bill for the reorganization
OF the army. 1t was drawn after consulta-
ton with many army officers, and is sup
posed to represent the ideas of the younger
element of the army. 1t makes some very
radical changes in the staff and has some
novel feathers. 1t consoldates the adju-
tant generals department and inspector
generals department in the general staff,
absorbs the ordnance department into the
artillery corps and aboishes the signal
corps, transferring the duties of that corps
to the engineer corps and the officers to the
infantry. II adopts the cavalry strength
of the Miles BILL the artillery strength Of
the Hull bill and the infantry strength OF
the Miles bill. One of the new features is a
requirement that all officers of the general
staff shall perform a tour of duty before
each promotion. which would give them
line duty at least every ten years. This is
the German method.

SPURIOUS SILVER DOLLARS.
About 100000 I'm Circulation In the
mississippi valley.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 70. - A smooth
gang of counterfeiters are at work in the
Mississippi valley. The counterfeit is OF
standard silver dollars, and all OF which
have so far been discovered bear date Of
1890. 1t is believed that something like
100000 of them have gained circulation. The
counterfeit is SO artistically accomplished
that it would be difficult for any one who
happens TO get hold OF a dollar made in
1890. even by scrutinizing II closely, to de-
tect It, Recently a very large number Of
bright. shiny dollars have been floating
around and all of them bear the date OF
1890 They have the same ring. apparently
the same weight and certainly the same ex-
ternal marks OF the genuine article.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
suggests that representatives in Congress be
apportioned upon voters voting for Presi-
dent, rather than population. If that
were the law the States which restrict suf-
frage would have a smaller representation
in the national House than they now have.
Upon a basis of 10000 votes for a repre-
sentative, Indiana would have sixteen MEM
bers, while Georgia. which has now eleven
representatives, would have but four.

ROLLER POLO IN THE WEST.
Western Bnse hall League to Stand
SPONSOR for II.

Sponsor for 1t.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Professonal roller polo
is to be revived in the West. The Western
base bal league will in all probability stand
sponsor for the sport, and the majority of
the base ball magnates will be the financial
hackers. The scheme has been set on foot
by President George Van Derbeck, of the
Detroit bal club, and already several of the
magnates have favOrably received the PROPOSE
lions made.
President Van Derbeck is an enthusiast on
the subject and will work with might and
main to get an organization on it's feet. His
plan is to have six eight cities in the
circuit will not be followed, and Chicago will
have one of the clubs. Cincinnati Will also
have a club should the compact be closed
The other cities mentioned as probable polo
centers will be Detroit, Milwaukee, ST. Louis
and Kansas City. Should an eight-cub cir
cult be decided on two cities will be selected
from among st. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha
Columbus and indianapolis.
President Johnson, of the Western league
is in favor of the proposed organization. He
thinks that in cities like Chicago the sport
would be we'll patronized and he sees no
reason why 1t should not be made to pay
clubs.
the West. The West first had a professional
league as far back as in 1884. The league
consisted of the Detroits, of Detroit; Meri-
dan, Of Indianapolis; West Avenue, of Column
bus. O.; Gem City, of Dayton, O.; Chicagoes
OF Chicago, and Louisviles, of Louisville
The game soon disappeared almost entirely
IN the West, but took renewed life in the
East, where many cubs have flourished ever
since. One of the most famous leagues was
the one OF lS94-5 and consisted of Boston, New
bedford, Providence, Lynn, Pawtucket and
salem. Boston in that year won the pennant
by forty-two points.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9.-Wright deserved
to win his game today. but the fates were
against him. His support was very ragged

ming of the Blillers was hardly up to the
standard Frank Foreman was in the box for
the visitors He pitched a good game and
although he allowed two more hits than did
Wright he was slightly steadier.
The three runs made by the HOosers were
due directly to errors. With two men out in
the fourth inning, Nichol hit to Burke, who
had all kinds of time to throw him out at
first, but who threw low and out Of Careys
reach. In the meantime Mcfarland was jog
ging toward the pate with no hope Of scoring,
but he did In the fifth Foreman and Ho-
griever singled and were advanced on Stew
arts sacrifice Mcfarland hunted a very slow
one to Wright, who had lots of time to catch
Foreman at the plate He simply had to toss
the ball. which he did but it went wide. In
the seventh Hogriever was hit reached third
on a poor throw to catch him at second and
came home when Davis muffed Stewards fly
to left. This is how the visitors scored their
runs. The Millers were shut out The score:

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. s.-The
steamer Coptic, from Yokohama and
Hong Kong via Honolulu, brings the
following advice to the Associated
Press from the latter city, under date
Of Sept 8:
1t will be the Territory of Hawaii"
That Is the name which the ANNEXATION
committee has decided to recommend
to congress. Thus will be preserved in
the political nomenclature Of the United
States the distinctive origin OF this
part of the United States The history
and tradition of the islands and the as
soclatlons that no resident here wants
forgotten, will go on in unbroken union
with the name. The form of the gov
eminent will be modelled on that of ex
listing territories. There will be no
further departures from this than
loyal conditions and national political
consideration makes necessary It is
probable that in working out the de-
tails the form Of the government will
not approximate so closely to that of
state government as the ordinary form
OF government does But this ultimate
possibility Of statehood will not be
barred. There will be no District of
Columbia or Alaska form of govern
ment proposed. Local self government
will be given through the extension of
the municipal idea. The islands will be
divided into municipal districts, hav-
ing control under restrictions and linn
itations of purely local affairs. Homo
lulu, for instance will be municipal
district, embracing the whole of the
island of Oahua.
Hawaii may be divided into two dis
tricts, and MOlokai, Lanai and Niyhau
may be. attached to some other mu-
nicipal district.
SELF GOVERNMENT.
The question Of territorial legislature
has been fully settled There will
probably be one, but with limited DOW
ers. All the attributes of sovereignty,
however, will be exercised by the ma
tional government of the United States
The people of Hawaii will be called on
to consider themselves Americans,
looking to the national government as
source Of national power. In local
affairs they will have the opportunity
Of exercising the highest tribute of
American citizenship-local self-gov-
eminent. The form of government the
committee will recommend will be one
calculated to do away with the assOci-
atoms Of national independence, which
have grown up in the last eighty or
ninety years, and to create associations
and the feeling Of union with the Unit
ed States Of America.
1t is pretty clear from what has been
said by members Of the committee
from time to time in framing a form
Of government for these islands, they
have also been charged with the adj
ministration at Washington with form
ing a model which can be adapted to
Porto Rico and other new possessions

work as to be able to conclude it's la
