CINCINNATI STILL LEADING.
Gap Between the Reds and Boston
Growing Larger.
The following is the standing of the

Cincinnati lost four of the seven games
played during the week, but in spite OF
this the gap between the Reds and the
second club. Boston, is growing larger
Cleveland lost second place and gave
way to Boston. Frank Selee's Beaneaters
are on a hot trail after Ewing's braves,
and if the Reds do not play a shade better
ball than they did last week, they win
soon take drop.
Baltimore continues in fourth place, but
shows a loss in percentage for the week
Chicago has made a wonderful run-for
Chicago-of seven games, and the Or
phans are now crowding Baltimore for
fourth place.
The end of the first week of Anson's
management of the Giants shows a loss.
The team won three and lost two games
during the week and allowed Chicago and
Pittsburg to jump them. There are no
changes in the positions of the other
teams.
When the Southern League disbanded
several of the league players signed with
the teams in the Southwest Georgia
League. This is a compact little league,
composed of Thomasville, Albany, Valdos-
Ia and Quitmau.
The teams are semi professional, and
many of the players who were seen here
with Quitman and Valdosta last season
are playing in the league.
Weikart, the big fellow who played first
base for Savannah this season, Is playing
third base for Quitinan Weikart has re-
ceived several offers 10 play with minor
league teams, but says he is satisfied with
Punch" Devinney and Coleman, all ex-
Savannah players, are playing with other
teams.
The playing season closes on Aug. Is, and
the league has every prospect of running
through, as the attendance in the towns
Is very good
Adrain c. Anson, the grand old man"
of base bah, has been manager of the
Giants for a week now. 1t has not been
long enough, however, to Judge of his
management. Arson was too big a base
bali man to be left out of a game, and his
return viii give him an opportunity TO re-
flute the charge made that the game had
outgrown him.
The Giants have a chance for the pen
nant, and if they are well handled and
Rusie rounds 80 they should become prom
inent in the race Arson was engaged to
manage the New Yorks because of his
great knowledge of the game. His play
ing days are over, but it is to be hoped
that he will show that he is still capable
of handling a bah team.
Hanlon has released two of his pitchers
in an effort to retrench the expenses Of the
club Wizard" Hoffer and Doctor
Pond have both been let go. Pond has
not been given a chance TO show himself
this season and he is said to be in really
good trim. Hoffer's arm has been full of
kinks all season.

TO CALL MEXICO DOWN.
Minister Clayton Instructed in the
Temple Case.


Washington. Nov. 16.-The state de-
partment is making strong efforts to
secure the release of the American
Temple, who is now in a Mexican JAIL
on the charge of murder committed in
the United States and it has instruct
ed Mr. Powell Clayton, United States
minister to Mexico to address himself
directly to the Mexican foreign Office on
that subject. The principle involved in
the case is regarded as of the highest
Importance, for if Temple is held for
trial by the Mexican authorities it will
amount to an admission on the part of
the United States of the right of Mexico
to exercise extra territorial jurisdiction
over American soil
Substantially the same claim was in
voIved in the celebrating Cutting case,
which came near causing a breach of
friendly relations, and it arose again in
the more recent case of Leonardo Pa
checo. Cutting was released by the
Mexican government only after trial
PachecO was released but not on our de-
mand and in no case has the Mexican
government surrendered it's view that
1t had right to try a person in Mexico
for an OffenSe committed in the United
States. Cutting was in Jail for several
months and Pacheco for two years. 1t
is not at all probable that any such de-
lay will be permitted in the Temple
case, for the Arizona authorities might
easily bring the matter to an issue by
demanding the extraditiOn of Temple
for killing a man within the border of
their territory.
But even accepting the Mexican con-
tentiOn that it would try an American
for killing a Mexican in the United
States it seems probable that the state
department can demonstrate that the
man ArvillC who was killed by Temple
was not as his name would imply
Mexican. The Arizona authorities say
that he was born in that territory and
although his parents were unnatural
lied Mexicans, under our law he was a
United States citizen. If this fact is es-
tablished legally the Mexican govern
ment will be put in the peculiar posi-
ton of trying one American citizen for
killing another American citizen on
American soil.

to robbery, in the second degree, and
the longest time he can be kept at the
reformatory is 10 years. Fred Rose
brook will stay in the reform school IN
til he is q years of age.
In speaking about the sentence of the
younger Rosebrook Judge Hazen said:
Il wish you would state that in my
opinion the law should be amended so
that 1t would be discretionary with
judges where boys under 16 years of
age should be sent. Young Rosebrook
is a thorough criminal and just as hard
a case as any of the others, and to send
him to the reform school win simply
have the effect of demoralizing the
school But as the law now stands a
district judge has to send boys under

school. 1t simply means that boys Of

reduction of duty. not to injure their
prospects. In so doing, it is only carry
ing out the policy which has been so
fruitful in developing the industries or
the United States and securing diversi-
fed employment for its laborers."
Mr.. Porter submits a table showing
the average annual custom house re-
ceipts in the island of Cuba from 1886
to 1897, inclusive, to have been $12,-
645, 1874.
In an interesting analysis of the Gu
ban budget, showing how much revenue
as reqired and how much may reasona-
bly, be expected from the tariff to be
enforced, Mr.. Porter says:
''The money collected from Cuba,
whether it was tWenty-six millions of
dollars or less, has all gone and nothing
is likely to be found in the treasury but
numerous evidences of promises to pay,
records of receipts given by the govern
ment for goods not paid for debts of
all kinds, including the salaries of
large number of minor officials. The
first and most important item of ex-
penditureS is for sovereignty expenses
and aggregates a, sum exceeding $22,
900, 000 These expenses are sub-diV1ded
as follows:
Interest on public debt and general
expenses, $12, 554,7 09.
Religion and clergy Estate religion and
justice), 329, 072.
War, $5,S96,740.
Navy, 1,055, 1856.
Executive. 81 645, 149.
Total, $22, 500, 900.
The largest item in these expendi-
lures is that of the interest on public
debt, which aggregate $50, ABE, 1873. The
other items of expense under this head
seem to be of a miscellaneous character,
including some salaries, pensions, civil,
military and naval pensions, public
works and gratuities The next largest
expenditure is for purposes of war, So
1885, $40. These items are of especial in
terest to American readers. The expen-
SEES of the navy aggregate $1,055 1876, and
of the executive department $3.50, 149
Under the last section comes the salary
of the Cuban governor general $40, 900
and the expenses of his Office, $46, 45O,
aggregating $50, $50. In this division it
appears the civil guards were paid, this
body of men receiving in all $2.O9o, I'll
The second largest item in this total
is the subsidy to the Campania Trans
atlantic, which amounts to $411,836 A
study of the several items at once
shows that the principal expenditures
for the island of Cuba are those which
have directly or indirectly to do with
the control OF the island by Spain. 1t IS
impossible at this moment to make
satisfactory estimate of this new budg-
ct nor can it be very well be done until
after the United States forces are in
full possession and able to secure com
plete data as to the personal needs OF
the government of Cuba. OF course, the
large items, such as interest on Ihe
public debt, expenditures of Spain for
the purpose of conquering the island.

we include the civil guards, of Sl8,OOO OOO
or $40. 900 900. How much of this amount
will be required for necessary expenses
under the new order of things 1t would
be impossible to forecast"

COffeyvilIe Wants the Missouri
Pacific Road.
Company Surveyors Going Over
the TX. o. G. & s. w.
LIABLE TO PURCHASE.
AtchisOn to Have New Round
House and Shops.
Ground Has Been Surveyed and
Work Begun.
LIABLE TO PURCHASE.

CoffeyviIle, Nov 16.-Superintendent
A. H. Webb Of the Missouri Pacific, to-
gether with a corps Of company survey
ors and engineers went to Caney Monday
morning for the purpose of going over
the line of the new Kansas, Oklahoma
Central & Southwestern railway. They
will examine the present physical con-
dition of the road, as well as calculate
the value, from a railroad standpoint,
of securing the road and making it
part of the Missouri Pacific system.
Then they will make their report to the
company's officers at St. Louis and New
York.
It is generally believed that the Mis-
souri, Pacific can make more out OF the
new line than any other company can.
This company has no line in the south
west except the Texas division of the
Iron Mountain, which is very far from
the field touched by the new road. Then
in getting the new road the missouri
Pacific would have a short line from the
Texas Panhandle, Guthrie and FL Reno,
to Kansas City and St. Louis.
If it were left to a vote of the citizens
of COffeyville as to what company
verdict would no doubt be in favor OF
the Missouri Pacific. If the M. K. &
T. should get hold Of it, Coffeyville
would be a whistling station and the
entire shops, etc, would be in Parsons
If the Santa F'e gets it, COffeyville may
never see the line, or if it does, every
thing will be run through to Chanute
the division headquarters. In case
either the M. K &, It. or Santa Fe
should get the road the chances are that
only few miles, probably to the Horse
Pen coal fields, would be built
On the other hand, if the road falls
into the hands of the Missouri Pacific
great things are in store for Cofeyville
1t means the immediate construction OF
shops on the land southeast of the round
house. Instead of the train crews now
living at OsawatOmie. Conway Springs
Van Buren, or Nevada, simply laying
over here, as they now do, they would
live here and LAY over" at the other
end of their runs. This alone would
add scores of families to the population
of COffeyville, to say nothing of the
two or three hundred men who would
be employed in the shops. Their fam
lilies would also live here, and a reason
able estimate of the increase of COffey-
ville's population, in the event of get
ting Missouri Pacific shops, would moi
be less than 900 people.

Station Indicator on Trains.

A conductor on the Texas Pacific rail-
road has invented device for annOunc-
ing to passengers on trains the names of
stations at which the next stop will
be made. A newspaper description says
that the device consists of a cylinder,
upon which are printed the names of all
the stations along the line over which
the train runs. By means of a lever the
trainmen can turn this cylinder until it
indicates the town at which the next
stop will be made. At the same time
that the cylinder turns a, gong is sound
ed which attracts the attention of the
passenger to the announcement made
on the cylinder. The device is intend
ed to obViate the difficulties and confu-
sion which arise from the frequent fail
ure of the passengers to understand the

teresting information:
q am reluctantly compelled, under
advice of physicians, to seek temporary
rest, owing to my present physical con-
ditiOn. In order to keep faith with the
