reason so far as this bill is concerned.
The only effect of the bill is to prevent
one or two minority stockholders from
closing up prosperous and solvent
concern. 1t takes from one or two man
the power of stopping the operations of
all mining companies in the state.
The people of Montana are to be
warmly congratulated that the bill has
been passed Notwithstanding the veto.
No other bill passed during the session
will prove SO beneficial to the state. 1t
will aid greatly in the development OF
the state. 1t will induce capitalists to
expend larger sums in the development
of the states resources. Capitalists
could not be expected to invest money
in a state where one or two minority
stockholders by the expenditure of a
few dollars could tie UP properties
worth millions of dollars.

the race. 1t is proposed to remove the
Cleveland club to st. Louis and the ST.
Louis club to Cleveland. 1t is argued
that baseball is dead in Cleveland any
way, while a good team would revive
the sport in ST. Louis.
The effect of these consultations
however, can hardly be to bring about
an interesting race so far as the whole
league is concerned. II seems likely
that the pennant race will be confined
to the Brooklyn, Boston, St. Louis Gin
cnnati and Chicago clubs, while the rest
will be more hopelessly in the rear than
ever before. This will result in making
some more dead baseball cities A plan
by which interest would be retained
throughout the league circuit would be
to strengthen the weaker clubs by
transferring some of the best players
from the stronger clubs. thus equalizing
the playing strength.
Within few days the clubs will all
be at their spring training grounds to
get into condition for the season. The

straps to support an adjustable covering
of rain and sun-proof material.
A Westerner has patented combined

Motormen are given automatic signals
by new clock to enable them to start
their cars at fixed intervals, at either end
of the road, a pointer being arranged on
the dial to move through a portion OF the
circle, ringing a bell and moving back to
zero as each interval is completed.
Railway cars are easily changed from
broad to narrow gauge by an Australian
patent, the wheels being attached to the
axle by screw threads. several turns in
either direction drawing the wheels to-

ratchets to lock them in either position.
Tickets are easily handled by a new
pocket case, having a central receptacle
in which the tickets are placed, with a
spring wall on one side which presses
them to the opposite side and into a slot
in a sliding yoke. the latter being moved
outward to discharge each ticket in its

rear end, carrying spring and sliding
rod inside, the latter having hook at the
end to hold the letter which draws the
spring down and indicates the weight.
:. tobacco pipe has been patented which

nth the gathering in New York
w yesterday of the directors of
the National Baseball league
the interest of baseball enthusiasts
throughout the country will be thawed
out. The meeting is for the purpose of
adopting a schedule for the use of the
league clubs during the season, to ar
range a few deals on the side and prob
ably dispose of the question of the num-
Der of clubs which shall constitute the
league this season.
Several years ago twelve clubs en-
tered into contract and put up bonds
to play in the league for ten years The
agreement then made has still three
years to run, but has proved unsatis-
factory. The proposition has been made
to reduce the league to eight clubs,
dropping the weaker ones. Some of the
weaker clubs will not, however, be
dropped unless literally recompensed
for doing so, and it is therefore prob
able that twelve clubs will continue to
contest for the baseball championship
of America.
Since the close of last season the only
event of much moment has been the
consolidation of the Baltimore and
Brooklyn clubs. The Baltimore club is
one of the best in the league, having
won the championship three years, and
last season it succumbed only to the
Boston club. Still, financially, the sea-
son was a failure in Baltimore. Brook
lyn had d very weak team and that
club also lost money, although with
good team located in Brooklyn that city
is one of the best supporters of baseball
in the country. 1t was in order to re-
vve baseball in Brooklyn that the
Brooklyn and Baltimore teams have
been consolidated. The cream of the
two teams will represent Brooklyn and
those players not desired by Brooklyn
will represent Baltimore. This will
make baseball dead letter in Balti-
more, but will revive interest in Brook
Ign.
A similar proposition is under con-
sideration in connection with the ST.
Louis and Cleveland teams. Both clubs
were financial losers last season. The ST.
Louis club has been at the foot in the
league race for several years while the
Cleveland club has been near the top in

Cadets for the Philippines.

~ CCORDING to one Of yesterdays
dispatches six second lieuten-
ants just graduated from the
military academy at West Point have
arrived at San Francisco. They will be
Joined in few days by eleven other
West Point graduates and all will soon
sail for Manila.
This is the first time since the year
1861 that the government has graduated
the senior West Point class in February
instead of in June. The action was taken
because of the need of West Point
trained officers in the larger army. The
junior class at West Point will be
rushed through the balance of the
course and will be graduated next June,
one year ahead of time.
The West Point military academy
was established ninetX-seven years ago.
The severity Of it's standard may be
judged from the fact that the academy
has in that time graduated only $500
cadets out of 1900 admitted. The larg-
est class ever graduated was in 1886,
numbering II cadets. The most cele-
brated class in the annals of West Point
was that of 1871, which lost seventeen
members killed in battle out of fifty
two. Twenty members of this class be-
came brigader and major generals dur
ing the civil war.
The young cadets just graduated seem
likely to have abundant opportunity to
distinguish themselves at Manila.

Alexander's wedding Day.
Francisco Examiner.

FROM the San FRANCISCO examiner.
The newspaper reporters of the time of
Alexander the Great. had there been any,
would have had the heaviest days work
of their lives in covering the interesting
events that marked the day that Alexan-
der was married. On that day, authenti-
Gated accounts tell US, no less than 20, 202
men and women were made husbands and
wives.
Alexander had conquered Darius of
Persia, and he felt that his great achieves
ment was important enough to be sg-
nalized in a conspicuous manner. Imagine
the pride of conaueror who decides that
it can be measured properly only by
wholesale giving and taking in marriage,
the like of which the world has never
known
Alexander himself married Statira, the
daughter of the conquered king, and de-
creed that 100 of his chief officers should
be united to 100 ladies from the noblest
Persian and Medean families. In addition
to this, he stipulated that 10000 of his
Greek soldiers should marry 10000 Asatic
women.
When everything was settled a vast pa
Viiion was erected, the pillars of which
were six feet high One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoined this for the 100 noble
bridegrooms, while for the 10000 an outer
court was inclosed, outside of which ia
bles were spread for the multitude. Each
pair had seats and ranged themselves in
semi-circles around the royal throne. OF
course, the priests could not marry this
vast number of couples in the ordinary
way, so Alexander the Great devised a
very simple ceremony, He gave his hand
to Statira and kissed her-an example
that all the bridegrooms followed.
This ended the ceremony. Then followed
the festival, which lasted for five days,
and the grandeur of which has never been
equailed since.

Furnishing Reed.

~ CONGRESSMAN MOODY of Mas
~ sachusetts has. it is said, been
selected by the administration
to make the fight for speaker against
Thomas b. Reed, who for so many
years has been honored at the hands of
the republican party by election to that
position. 1t is not believed that Con-
gresham Reed is going to surrender
the speakership without fight and in
case of fight it may be we'll doubted
if all the forces the administration can
bring to bear will be sufficient to de-
feat Reed. Democrats have good rea-
son for not having very great affection
toward Gar Reed, but all fair minded
citizens must resent the injustice of
Furnishing a man because he wouldn't
be whipped into line contrary to his
views.
So far as the administration is con-
cerned the only crime of which Speaker
Reed is guilty is that of opposing quite
strongly and with much sarcasm the
presidents expansion policy. Has the
time come when man cannot honestly
disagree with the administration with
out being read out of the republican
party? From all appearances that is
what the administration is aiming to
do. Similar violence was accorded Sen
ators Hoar and Hale, two other veter-
ans of congress, because, presumably
in all sincerity, they would not be whip
ped into voting for the ratification of
the treaty. Administrat ton newspaper
organs denounced these men as trait
Ors. rebels, enemies of the country. The
power of the administration may be
able to prevent the reelection of Reed
to the speakership and it may be able
to place Hoar and Hale under the ban,
but it cannot succeed in stopping in
this country freedom of thought and
freedom of speech. The time has not
yet come when people cannot disagree
with the administrations policy with
out being traitors.
AS an example of the violence used
by the administrations supporters
against republicans who retain their
independence should be noted the Ian
guage of gs Major General William r.
Shafter. one of McKinley's favored
ones. In an interview he says:
Il have been a hot republican all my
life. l think Speaker Reed showed eN-
ceedingly poor taste and very little
courtesy by his recent action in work
ing against the president. In my opin-
ion, if there is an extra session of con-
gress, part of its work will be the cleo
ton of a new speaker of the house. MI
Reed has grown very rabid of late and
is at present suffering with swelled
head. When any man gets to that point
in his career he is lost. Mr.. Reed is, to
say the least, acting very unwisely and
will in time see the error of his way"
Just think of General Shafter accus-
ing Speaker Reed Of having the
swelled head. But Shafter ought to be
a good judge of swelled heads

An Honest Man.

From the Baltimore American.
One of the New York papers and one of
the San Francisco papers are making vile
attacks upon Speaker Thomas B. Reed
practically charging him with being a
paid agent of Coils ?. Huntington, in
whose behalf-so the accusation runs--he
is defeating the Nlcaragna canal scheme.
No public man was ever more basely Ii
be1ed, and, it may be added, few public
men could better stand being libeled.
There are two things about Thomas B.
Reed which are absolutely beyond ques-
ton. One is his ability and the other is
his honesty. No man stands better in
the position of being able to make money
without even being suspected than the
speaker of the house of representatives,
for his passive manner might mean mil
lions to him without the remotest chance
of the nation ever knowing it.

Chill Germanized.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The women of Chilli go clad in German
serges and German nuns velings, and
gowns of other continental goods, cut
out with German scissors. pinned with
German pins, stitched with German nee
dies threaded with German cotton, made
with German sewing machines, fastened
with German hooks and eyes and set off
with Swiss and German laces. And when
they betake themselves to embroidery il
is German wool with which they ex-
ercise their skill. In German blankets the
Chilians sleep: they wash in German ba-
sins with water poured out of German
ewers: and BARRIERS cut their hair with
German BARRIERS scissors. They glaze
their windows with Belgian and German
window panes. look at themselves in
French and German mirrors, and hang
their walls with French and German pa
pers. They cook their food in pots,
moulds, stewpans and frying pans from
the United States and Germany, eat it off
plates-china, earthenware and enameled
from the same countries; whilst the Ar
&c ntines cut it as well with French and
German knives and forks and ladle it with
German ladies. They also carry German
pocketknives in their German trousers
pockets. Their beer is brewed by Ger
mans. who use only German machinery
for the purpose. They boil their water
in German kettles over spirit lamps which
are all of continental make. And they
drink their tea out of German cups and
saucers. They write on German paper
with German pens, and despatch their
letters in German envelopes. They print
on American paper, and Italy as well as
Germany supplies them with wrapping
papers. Their treasures are secured in
German iron chests, and they fasten
their doors and cupboards with German
locks and padlockS
