louisville Drafts Irving Waldron,
the Milwaukee Right Fielder.

Milwaukee, Jan. 6.-The brewers will
lose the services of Irving Waldron, the
clever little right fielder of the Mil
waukee club, after all. It was sup
posed that he would be let alone after
the Cincinnati club had decided not to
purchase him from the local club, but
at the last moment the Louisville club
drafted him.
This is another case of injustice
worked by the drafting system under
the old rules. The Milwaukee club will
receive $500 for Waldron, but Manager
Mack will have a hard time replacing
him for any such amount. In addition
the Kansas City club will lose Billy
Hulen and Minneapolis will lose Third
Baseman Andrews. All of these men
could have been sold at a much higher

It was rather alarming, The president blinked furiously, parked out something that no one could poss- ply understand, and wound np with the observation that Kotze's allegation was

 To return to the colonial secretary.
 Some weeks before the Bloemfoniein
 conference, President Kruger made a
 speech at Rustenburg, the stronghold Of Copper dom, wherein he, outlined new outlander policy, and incidentally &C.,
 cused MT. Chamberlain of a disregard
 for the truth. It was historical speech, marking, as 1t did, a noteworthy change in the presidents methods.
 Several pressmen had travelled across country to hear it, and a general rush for the wires took place when it was finished. But the president was cau-
 tious. He gave orders that no reports should be telegraphed until he had scrutinized them This was intensely aggravating to the journalists, so a deputation waited on his private sec retary, and eventually reached the great man himself. The pressing demands of latter-day journalism were enlarged upon and argument brought to bear to induce him to relent. He objected, he questioned, he hesitated, he wavered, then, eureka, he agreed to trust to jour- nalistic accuracy. There was pause. The deputation had expressed their gratitude, and were on the point of withdrawing when--he changed his mind It suddenly struck him that if> a garbled version of misplaced sen tence reached London "Kamberlain" would be at him, and credit him with utterances he never dreamt of. The re- suit was no reports got away that night. Next morning they were examined and countersigned without the alteration of a word!
 President Kruger is much averse to gamblng-in some forms at all events. One day lady called on him for church bazar subscription. He turned to her in his abrupt way and denounced bazars as swindles. "A bazar and raf- fling" said he.

 cumstances. It is an unfailing source of wonderment to those who study him. I was visiting Bloemfontein in May last when the historic conference be- tween him and the high commissioner,
 SreAlfred Milner, was in progress. The
 deliberations were private, but on the
 Friday evening preceding their termina-
 tion club gossip said that there had been
 serious difference between the two
 presidents Such difference would,
 we knew, almost surely spell war. We
 were, therefore, induistive, not to say
 anxious. Hungering for something

 subject. Contrary to our expectation he was in his usual good spirits, full of an-

 The old man fenced all attempts at hui, | iap 4n conference, and began retailing some of his hunting experiences. Shortly after our arrival Wolmarans, a member of the executive, came along, and our waning hopes rose. Perhaps he would mention the subject we longed to have preached.

SOMETHING ABOUT BIG DOCS
THE GREATDANES, UNDS, NEWFOUNDLANDS AND OTHERS.
The Tallest Dog on Record Was 35 Inches High, the Heaviest Was 2s4 Pounds.

The weights and dimensions of big dogs are, from cause or other subject to great exaggeration, almost as much so as is the case with the captures of certain anglers who desire to obtain the credit of exceeding what has been &C., companied by some fellow disciple of the gentle craft. It is not easy to under stand why the dog should be made the victim of such methods, for, not being such perishable commodity as the fishers prize, the opportunity is always there to arrive at the truth of the state ment. "A dog as big as 8 donkey is quite a usual term to use when an own CT or admirer of some St. Bernard or Great Dane Is expatating upon the merits of his favorites, and travellers have repeatedly told us in similar words of gigantic dogs they have seen during their peregrinations in foreign coun- tries We need scarcely point out here that no dog has yet been produced which Is as big as an ordinary-sized ass, whose measurement at the shoul-
 
 which means from 40 to AS inches.
 So far as is known, the dog has not yet been born which stands even 36 inches at the shoulders, and many ami mals whose owners have claimed for them height of yard have, when put through careful measurement, been proved to be nearly half a foot below the standard which had been made for them. This was especially marked at the first show held by the Great Dane Club in 1885 in the grounds of the Rane- lagh Club near London. Sundry great dogs exhibited here, which bore the reputation of being yard or more in height under fair measurement dwindl- ed away terribly, even to less than 30 inches while the biggest hounds in the lot were MT. Reginald Herbert's Leal and Mir. M Riego's Cid Campeador, which were 33A inches and S31s inches in height at the shoulders respectively. Since that time we have seen bigger Great Dane than either, and possibly the heaviest too, of his race which has appeared in this country This was a dog belonging to Mir Woodruffe Hill, called Morro, his height carefully measured, being 34 inches, and he weigh ed 190 pounds.
 The Great Dane must not however, be taken as the tallest and heaviest variety of the canine race, an honour which undoubtedly rests with the dog of St Bernard. Some writers in the otden Jays, about the Irish wolfhound have claimed for him extraordinary height, but hitherto they have failed to produce proof of their statements, and it is eX- tremely probable that the Irish wolf hound of to-day is a bigger and more powerful dog than the historical crea- t,lre usually coupled with Ireland when she had King of her own to rule her There are, We believe, at the present time three or four Irish wolfhounds which in height exceed by a trifle the {!

1 the conflict had found peaceful solu- l tion; the taxpayers hurried to comply with the law, and the prisoners were re-
 leased. It remains to be seen whether
 the Warlike demons covered q fresh
 concession, and really come to terms, | though the exact nature of the compact | between them be not yet officially di- vulged.
 It is believed in some well informed quarters that, according to the peculiar Spanish usage what is termed Ian au- thority" will be inserted in the budget empowering the Government to leave the levying and collection of its own
 taxes to any province which should de-
 sire and be competent to exercise that
 privilege. It is to, be hoped that in the
 case of Catalonia such concession
 will not exempt them from more rig
 orous and exact assessment of the.
 property that ought to be taxed, for
 without any doubt there has been prac-
 tised among the wealthy traders of
 Barcelona a large concealment of
 means and at the bottom of their anx-
 iety to obtain the "concierto economico"
 there turks a pressing desire to escape
 the awkward revelations that might
 follow upon new assessment. But if
 their agitations for a political reform
 has been rather selfish than sincere, one
 cannot say much more for the sinceri- ty of the Government which refused it,
 for when the question was raised as to the promised remission of the fines which had been incurred by the tax payers difficulties were made by com pany to whom the Government had "farmed' the taxes. In other words. the Government, possibly for the con- sideration of an immediate sum, had actually given to company what 1t had refused to the province itself. :.
 But to come to the two lessons which maye be derived from the conflict. One, which will probably be remembered af- terward by other provinces, and other big towns, if the Government has real ly agreed to compromise, is that the weapon used by the Barcelona guilds is an effective one, and nllgnt, py the of little more effective skiil. The other which the Government itself may turn to good account, # this weapon is used against them again, IS that the opposition of the wealthy mid dle class is not really so formidable as it looks, because 1t no longer means the of the working class as well. Thirty or forty years ago war be- tween the trade guilds, and the Govern ment would have meant barricades in the street raised by the sympathetic hands of the wage earning masses, and the bloodshed of which Senor Silvela spoke would certainly have taken place. But during the last half century the two classes employed and employers, have drifted apart, and the latter have clearly recognized the fact that the formers interests are not always their ,wn The great bulk of the population ,f Barcelona-the workmen, artisans and other laborers-viewed the recent conflict with in difference. There were 10 riots, because no one cared to riot; md capitalists cannot riot by then- correspondence of the London Times.
