TALKS BUSINESS.

An Editor Who Can See No Sense In Being
Everybody's Hobby Horse.
Abbeville Press and Banner.
The newspapers at Abbeville have
been publishing all notices Of pensions,
including the names of pensioners,
without charge; but we are not doing
that kind Of business any longer.
Speaking for this newspaper partic-
ularly, we have quit doing great deal
Of the free work, which we formerly
did. AS a matter Of fact, every line
of type that goes into this newspaper
costs something, and we have adopted
the rule of charging for matters that
others are more interested in than we
are.
In the years that are past, the poll
ticians made great drafts on us for the
free publication of matters in which
they were chiefly interested.
There is neither justice nor equity
in any such a course. Hereafter the
politician who seeks the benefit of
these columns to aid his vote-catching
principles, or who may desire the ad-
vancement of personal interests, must
pay the cash.
First-class politicians do not desire
to deadbeat the printers, and little
second class half.handed brothers need
not attempt TO sponge on us for their
glory and fame.
OF course we do not expect to
charge a high price for our services in
helping the cause of any politician ;
but he must pay at least the actual
cost, with fair per cent. for profits.

The Fact That the Flying Squadron at

Special dispatch to the Yorkville Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, April L.
Spain's reply to the demands of
the president has been received,
and it is wholly unsatisfactory,
in that it makes no concessions
whatever. The cabinet has just
gone in session for the purpose
of considering the reply. The
president has already stated open
ly that the situation is now more
serious than ever, and has PROM
ised to make a public statement
this afternoon Immediately after
the cabinet reaches a conclusion
as to what is best to be done.
HAMPTON ROADS, April L.
Pursuant to orders just received
from Washington, all the ships
of the flying squadron here are
getting up steam so as to be
ready to sail at a moments no
tice. Their destination, if any
has been fixed, is a matter of
conjecture. A dispatch from
Philadelphia says that the Min
neapolis left that place a few
hours ago, and is coming at full
speed to join the squadron here.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-All

The Maine incident has begun
to loom up more prominently
than at any time this week.
The president is now engaged
in writing another message to
congress, and members of the
foreign affairs committee of the
senate have lntlrnated that the
Maine incident will be made the
basis of a declaration of war.
The members of the cabinet
are collecting for another meet
ing to be held at once. 1t has
been given out from sources Of
high authority, that the Hamp-
ton Roads squadron has been in
structed to intercept the torpedo
flotilla.
The information comes from
Madrid, by way of London, that
the Pope is doing all he can to
settle the difficulties but is meet

Michael Rose Too Late.

Jimmy Michael champion bicycle
racer, took his first lesson in his new
trade of race horse riding yesterday
morning at Philip j. Dwyer's stable at
the Gravesend track. Under the
agreement the bicycle rider who wants
to become a jockey, made with Mr..
Dwyer, it was arranged that Michael
was to go to Gravesend in the morn
ing and put himself III der the direction
of Trainer Frank McCabe, who would
break him in as an exercise rider. 1t
was still morning when Michael made
his appearance at the stable. but so
late that the little champions chance
to see anything of stable work was
gone for the dav.
The horses had been out, had walked
and logged and had been put away
hours before Jimmy appeared, at II
o'clock, and so the sum and substance
of the knowledge acquired by the am
bilious little man was that to really
learn anything about riding race hors-
es he must rise earlier
Trainer MCCabe cordially received
the middle distance champion, and
Jimmy was taken through the stable
and saw the horses. AT noon he had
nearly race track Olnner IN trainer
McCabe's quarters. After that Mich
ael spent an hour or two with his in
structor, looking about and then re-
turned to New York. While at Grave
send he secured a room convenient to
the Dwyer stables and arranged to
move in at once. There he will remain
as an attache of the Dwyer stables un-
til he is satisfied one way or another
as to what his future may be as a
jockey.

disappointment Mt st Cornell.

The decision of Oxford and Cam
bridge universities not to accept the
American challenge for an interna-
tional athletic meet has created much
discussion among the undergraduates
of Cornell university. Captain c. w.
Powell, of the Cornell Athletic asso-
citation, in an interview, said:
Il am very sOrely disappointed in
the decision that our English friends
reached, as l had hoped that an inter-
national meet might be brought about.
Such an event would surely promote
college sport, and would lend great in
terest to general athletics. The objec-
tion that Cambridge and oxford would
have to meet the best athletes of a
large number of our universities is, l
believe, well taken. AS to our COM
parative status, however, l think that
the Englishmen have made a mistake
or have been misinormed. The fact
that our athletes won every event in
the international meet of '95 simply
shows superiority of our athletes and
not a lower status. From what / can
learn from old English athletes / am
lead to believe that the standing of
amateurs in England is much the same
as it is here, for in either case pro-
fessionals will creep in without being
discovered for a time. Treasurer Jack
son. of the oxford club, is reported to
have said that either of the English
universities would be glad to meet two
of our universities in particular. This
seems strange to me, inasmuch as both
of these universities are governed by
the same eligibility rules as is the In
ter-Colleglate. Even at Cornell the
hopes Of an international meet had
stimulated the athletic activity, and l
am sure the failure to bring it about
will be greatly regretted"
A prominent member of the Cornell
track team said: when oxford and
Cambridge universities attempt to
question the amateur status OF our
athletes they have undertaken a big
task AS regards objections to the
weight events I think there is no ques-
ton but that they should be left as
they are. They are part of our ath-
letic events and theirs also. These
events should not be left out simply
because the English do not excel in
them"

phia where he could place himself
under the care of DR.. j. William White.
At present his right leg is useless, as
it is swollen to twice it's natural size
and is twisted out of it's normal shape.
Since coming to the hospital a ten
pound weight has been constantly kept
on his knee for the purpose of keeping
it in it's normal position Just how
serious his case will be cannot be told
now, although DIR. White does not ap-
prehend any serious result.
Captain John Outland, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Varsity team,
has issued a call for all new candi-
dates for next falls team to report for
preliminary practice at anklin Field,
beginning with March l. Last spring
eX-Captain Minds had the foot ball men
out for practice, and the results were
so evident that the management has
determined to make the preliminary
work this spring more thorough than
1t was last year. Only new men and
candidates for the line positions will
begin work Immediately. By new men
is meant all those who were not mem
bers of last years Varsity team so that
members of last falls scrub are in
cluded in the number ordered to re-
port. A short time after preliminary
practice has been inaugurated, candi-
dates for quarterback and the lighter
positions will begin work Practice will
take four days in each week, and will
consist of kicking, catching, passing
and falling on the ball, all light in it's
nature, but calculated to- strengthen
and harden the mems muscles, The
men will also do some running. One
of the principal reasons for making
the preliminary work this spring more
OF a training process than usual is to
obtain an idea Of the best material
available for next falls team.
