they remain more than three days.
The deal has been pending ever since
Carter returned from abroad. About
the first thing Schaefer said to him was
query as to how such a trip would suit
him. 'fYOu know me-" was Carriers
reply. Il am game for anything" It
was then agreed that if no tournament
or big matches materialized the trip
would be made.
While a general regret is expressed
that these two experts will not remain
in Chicago during the winter there is
no doubt that the tour will be a great
success from an artistic and financial
standpoint The first stop will be made
at Cincinnati. Then will follow eXhib-
its in st. Louis, st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis The players will then return to Chi

nights before one of the large clubs that

From home a jump will be taken to

The exhibitions will consist of games
at all kinds of billiards and of fancy
shots, at which both players are mas
terS- In the natural course of events
the men will be ready to meet local ex-
pertS at odds if any such games are de
sired. This will not be the first trip of
the kind Carter and Schaefer have made
together. In 1887 they were out three
months on one of the most successful
trips of the kind ever made. On that
occasion they cleared nearly SO, 600.
Before leaving Carter desires to play
eleven matches at Green's on eleven
consecutive nights. He offers to take

ion carOms for $50 a side. His latest

AFTER A KENTUCKY FARM.
W. c. Whitney Decides That the Blue
Grass Regions Will Suit.

New York, Oct. 31-W. G. Whitney's
next move on the turf checker board
will be the purchasing of a farm in
Kentucky. It is known that Sidney
Paget, his manager, will leave New
York in ten days for Lexington. and re-
port has it that he has several big
tracts of land in mind. The $40 600
Meddler and the high priced mares must
have permanent home.
For several good reasons Mr. Whitney
has tried to keep secret the fact that he
intends breeding horses in the Blue
Grass region.
Mr.. Whitney's main reason for keen

ARBOCKLE'S PLANS.
Will Not Invade the San Francisco
Sugar Market at Present

New York, Oct. 31.-The sale of sugar
made by Arbucl1le Bros. on Wednesday
for the San Francisco market, variously
estimated at 1900 bags and two or three
carloads, is not likely to be repeated
The sale was made through a broker
and was believed at first to indicate
that the ArbuckIes intended to invade
the Pacific coast market.
What the local trade was anxious to
find out was how the Arbuckles, bold and
resOurceful as they are conceded to be,
could make such a big jump as to the
Pacific and yet hope to fight the sugar
trust Spreckels combination in it's home
territory. The Aubuckles denied any in
tention to fight Spreckels in San Fran
cisco. John Arbuckle, the head of the
firm, said today that he never discussed
the affairs Of his firm for the public
press, but from the manager of the SD
gar department it was learned that they
had made a big sale for the San Fran
cisco market
He denied, however. that they had cut
the price by half a cent, as had been re-
ported, declaring that nothing whatever
had been shaved off the ruling rate of
five cents. The Arbuckles took no &C
ton today in regard to the advance of
One-eighth cent made by B. H. Howell,
Son & Co. but the trust noted it by linn
iting all orders after today to only 200
barrels. The Arbuckles are expected to
follow suit with an advance of one
eighth cent.

CUBAN PIE COUNTER
Is Besieged by 1000 Hungry Appli-
cants in Santiago.

Nanzanillo Oct. 31.-The visit of Gen
eraI Leonard Wood, governor of the
military department of Santiago, has
been instrumental in bringing all the ell
ements among the Cubans to the front.
No fewer than 1000 insurgents, of whom
500 are officers, want offices, and their
clamor amounts almost to a demand
There are two leading factions, one
headed by General Jesus Rabi and the
other by General Rios At present, most
of the officers are held by representa-
tives of the Rabi faction, including the
mayoralty and the custom house in
spectorships. General Wood in order to
pacify the Rios faction, has given them
six positions on the rural police force
and turned over to one of their people
the lighthouse at Cape Cruz, together
with several other minor appointments.
But neither party is satisfied, each
thinking that 1t ought to have all the
offices. General Rios does not dare ex-
press his opinion publicly on General
Rabi, but he feels that this is his dis
trict, as he has had the nominal charge
of it for three years, and that it ought
to belong to him, so far as appoint
ments of Cubans to office are concerned,
and all the more so because he repre-
sents General Calixto Garcia.
The majority of the insurgents here
have no money and go about living
from hand to mouth and wondering
what will happen next. Armed men are
not allowed rations. AS the Cubans
will not disband and will not work,
nothing remains for them but to strut
about the city, with machetes and re-
volvers. Some of them are nearly max
ed; others appear in long-legged patent
leather boots with silver spurs carrying
superbly wrought Toledo machetes. A
few wear immaculate white suits and
Panama hats. These are, for the most
part, the New York contingent, each
man now veritabie bombaSteS furioSO.
Except when he is on board the gun
boat Hist, which brought him here, Cen
eral Wood is besieged by these seekers
for office. Among the interviews he has
had was one with General Rios, who
want the major of Manzanillo, one of
man appointed to the mayoralty. Gen.
Wood asked on what grounds the dis
missal could be sustained. He said: rs
not the mayor competent officer? Has
he not an excellent reputation? Did he
not serve bravely and effectively
throughout the WARP"
To all of this General Rios replied In
the affirmative, but he insisted that his
own nominee was entitled to the posi-
ton because he was Rios man. The
interests of the city and the locality
were apparently minor considerations in
the mind of the Cuban commander. But
this appears to be the case everywhere
among the Cuban insurgents.
General Wood and Colonel Petit re-
gard the outlook as rather discouraging
Still, they hope that some means may
army The members Of the rank and
file are anxious to go to work, but the
leaders refuse to allow them to do so,
and the men do not dare to do so, as
they would certainly be shot if captured.
General Wood is hoping that the other
towns he will visit in his trip around
the province will not present the same

OWEN NAY LEAVE o.
Jayhawk Quarterback Compelled by
Poor Health to Quit the Team
-Hoyt to Be Tried.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 31-More than
neutralizing the encouraging effect of
the improved form shown by the Kan
sas football team in the last two games
played, comes the news that Ben Owen
is in bad shape and unless the unexpect-
ed happens will be unable to play Sat
urday. This means that Kansas will
have to develop a new quarterback in
one short week for her hardest and
most important game.
Owens forced retirement at this juno
ture is peculiarly unfortunate. While at
the first of the season his work was
characterized by many fumbles and
poor passes, and especially by slowness,
that it was feared he would not fill the
bill, within the past two weeks he has
shown big improvement, both as to
accuracy and speed, and Saturday put
up a strong game, so that the team will
feel his loss badly.
Hoyt. who will be tried in this place,
is nervy and active, but is inexperi-
enced in the position, and worst of all
does not knew the signals. as he has
been on the field this season only four
days. Leiberman, who has been play
ing quarter on the scrubs, wrenched his
knee Saturday and is a. surely out of

APPEAL TO JEWISH WOMEN
Cincinnati Section of the Council
Urges More General Observ-
ance of the Sabbath

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 31.-The Cincin-
natl section of the Council of Jewish
women at its last meeting decided to
issue the following appeal:
Dear Madam:-We, the Council of
Jewish women, whose aim it is to do all
in our power to further the interests of
Judaism. appeal to you for aid and en-
enlargement in the following worthy
endeaVor:
I'VE earnestly petition our Jewish wo
men to lay aside the week day avoca-
tons on the Sabbath, to refrain from
shopping, and to attend, with their
children, faithfully and cOnscientiously
divine services in the house of worship,
thereby fostering and keeping alive in
the heart and home the spirit of our
faith
I'VE ask this in the name of our coun-
ell, in the name of Judaism, present and
future, and, above all, in the name of
him who chose Israel, from among all
peoples, to be the preserver and dissem-
inatOr of the glorious truth of religion
upon which rests this civilized world"
Shopping and other work are forbid
den on the Jewish Sabbath and this
appeal is only an effort to bring about
a return to earlier and more careful OBJ
servance of that day.

MAY BID FOR POINTER.
Chicago Horsemen Loath to See the
Worlds Champion PAGER Leave
That Citv

Chicago Oct. 31.-Star Pointer, the
peerless PAGER, with the worlds record
of 1884, may yet be saved to Chicago.
Since Owner Murphy, Disguised with
the bad weather which has followed his
attempts to send the game stallion
against time, announced his intention
of consigning the morse to the Fasig
sale at New York, efforts have been
made to form a syndicate of local horse
men to bid for Pointer when he is put
under the hammer.
Trainer McClary, who has handled
the horse for the last three seasons, is
in the city and thinks the attempt will
be successful. He is naturally much
interested in what becomes of the star
performer and thinks Pointer is capa-
BILE of reducing his already wonderful
mark under favOrab BILE conditions.
The horse can scarcely prove bad
Investment, as he is a great drawing
card for exhibitions and large sums are
realized for such performances even
when records are not shattered. The
determination of Owner Murphy to sell
is much regretted, as it was hoped he
would retain the horse; indeed. few
thought he would not, and next year
succeed in establishing new records un-
der the different conditions to which he
aspired, thus getting a reward for pluck

v5xatious conditions as prevail here,
where the Cuban problem is presented
in a very difficult form, the most diff
cult he has yet encountered.
1t was necessary to send q detach-
ment of the Fourth immune regiment
under a sergeant to the Rigney planta-
ton, in order to compel the armed Gu
pans TO allow men to work there. The
undertaking, however, proved success
full, and 200 men are now regularly en-
ployed.
The latest advices from Santa Cruz
del Sur, the meeting place Of the Cuban
assembly, do not report the arrival
there of General Maxine Gomez, but
there are persistent rumors that the
friends of Gomez, who are delegates to
the assembly, will endeavOr to embar-
rass General Ca1iXto Garcia and his
supporters.
Lieutenant Young and the officers Of
the Hist have been most enthusiastica1-
~ welcomed here by the Cubans, who
are grateful for the help many times
extended to them. The gallant little
boat during the war was as much an
object of love to the Cubans along the
coast as fear to the Spaniards. She
was quite as well known to both parties
as the New York city hall is to the resi-
dents of the metropolis.
Lieutenant Young has formally claim
ed, on behalf of the United States navy,

After a final conference with Colonel

first returning to Santiago, he will leave
for the north coast of the province, to

TIGERS SHUT OUT BROWN.
Prin ceton is Weak in Offensive Move
ments and the Providence Men
in Defensive Play.

Providence, R. L, Oct. S1.-Brown was
of % to 0. The game was played in a
drizzling rain before 500 people. In the
first half Brown held Princeton well.
and only after Is minutes of play were
the Tigers able to shove Reiter over for
a touchdown, from which Wheeler fail
ed to kick goal. The end of the half
found the ball in Browns possession on
Princeton's 45-yard line.
In the second half Reiter and Black
went through for touchdowns and In
scrimmage Brown lost the ball on
tumble and it rolled outside the bunch.
Poe. Princeton's left end, picked 1t up
and sprinted so yards, aided by beauti-
full interference, for a touchdown. Brown
was weak in her defensive plays, while
Princeton was equally weak on the Of
fensive movements. It was clean
game from beginning to end, none Of
the players being seriously injured.
