The Greet 4 E1erIcan uoa.

The tables of exports pubiisheY bv the treasury department indicate < marked increase fE the exports of hog products for last month. The exports of bacon amounted to over 54 ,00O 900 pounds, of hams 10 nearly 22,0O0, 900. and of pork to over f000O,000 pounds. The export of lard alone showed q. slight decrease in comparison with the same period of last year, This exhibit is the moro gratifying from the fact that the agitation Of the agrarian ele- ment in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, Is mainly directed against the American hog. While the partisan agitation Is not in the interest either of the German or French people, as it deprives them of cheap hog prod ucts, it has had tho support of the governments. That in spite of 1t the export tables continue to show steady growth must be put down to the credit of the invinciple American hog.-Den- yer Post.

Norway wlshea Independence.

The Norwegians have taken another step forward to entire independence of Sweden. The popular party has just drawn ID it's program, and it's essen tial point is Independence to be brought about by means of q separate Norwegian ministry for foreign affairs, and q separate Norwegian consular system. This leaves the king the only bond of union between the two states, and will be strenuously resisted by him, on the reasonable ground that 1t may compel him to sanction two directly opposed lines of pol icy. If England and Russia, for example, were at war, the king as a swede might be an ally of Great Britain, and as a Norwegian her en- emy. The probability, therefore, is that he will continuously veto the bill ordering tie separation, and will at

Small goin In Great Demand.

There has been no relaxation of the demand fer fractional silver, and the situation, according to treasury off, cials, is likely to get worse rather than better. All the uneurreht and de- faced coins have now been coined up. and the treasury is at the end of it's resources. When Secretary Gage took hold in March, 1897, he had $16000, GOO in subsidiary coin. That sum has steadily declined, until now there is iass than $3,000,000 In the possession of the treasury, and this is scattered over the country. The demand for small coins continues from all sec lions, and there has been found no au- thority of law to purchase bullion to supply the demand. The secretary last year suggested to congress that he be given authority to use the seigniorage for subsidiary coinage, but the only response was to direct the coinage of all this seigniorage into silver dollars. There win be q ecarcity of small change until congress acts.

Alaska Growine warmer.

Prospective visitors and goid-seekers in the Klondike region may extract some comfort from the discovery, made by the Hartman Alaska expedition, that most of the glaciers which abound in that territory are reeeding. The fact is an indication that the average weather there is growing warmer. If 1t were growing colder the glacers would be advancing, while if it were about the same one year with another they would maintain the same general position, neither creeping nearer to the sea nor melting away from their ter minal moraines. The rate of glacial recession is so slow, however, that fur overcoats and warm sleeping bags are likely to remain as q part of the neees- sary equipment of Alaskan travel for some years to come. Nothing, it may be added, is slower than the move- ment of glacier, except the settle ment of the Alaskan boundary dis pute.

BASEBALL BOYS GO TO
THE CITY OF MEXICO
To Play a Strong Team, and the Foot
ball Boys are Getting Ready For
the Christmas Game.

The base ball team left this morn
ing for the City of Mexico where they
will try to capture the championship
of the republic. That they stand a
pretty good chance to do SO may be
seen from the following taken from
the Mexican Herald:
Captain Braniff and his gang of base
ball braves occupied the diamond on
the Paseo de la Reforma grounds yes
terday for several hours and consider
able good work was accomplished
Nearly the entire team was out and
the men were practiced in the various
positions which they will play in the
coming sereies with the Ell Pasos. 1t
is to be regretted that the team cannot
get more practice but owing to the
fact that nearly all the players are
employed in various offices throughout
the city 1t is impossible to get them
all out at the same time.
A telegram was received yesterday
from Wilcox, of Velardena. stating
that he regretted exceedingly that he

would not be able to come to Mexico
for the Ell Paso games. AS the matter
now stands the Mexicos have only two
pitchers whom they can depend upon,
Tyler and Chamberlain, and it is al
most impossible for them to pitch four
games in as many days. 1t may be
possible that another pitcher can be
secured as there are a number of men
who have written here wanting to
come to Mexico this winter.
The Football Team.
The foot ball team was out again
last night in force and a lively prac-
tice was held. Coach Rutherford was
unable to be present but Manager Hun
ter and Captain Davis sent the men
through the formations and signals
and they went at them like clock
work. jeff Crawford, who played ev-
cry position on the Dallas team, was
out last night and will likely play one
half of the Christmas game. JEFF is
strong and fast on his feet and being
an experienced player is a great ad-
dition to the team.
The Baird brothers than whom
there are no better players in the west
will be home the last of the week and
will play in the big game. 1t was
with regret that Brown left today for
Mexico with the baseball team but he
will return in time for the New Years
game anu will take Captain Davis's
place behind the line, Captain Davis
going to tackle that he may steady the
line and lend confidence to his men.
The tickets for the first game are
now on sale and the crowd promises
to be a record breaker. The south
side of the gridiron will be reserved
for carriages so that those wishing to
may drive within fifteen feet of the
side line. The boys will practice every
night until the game.
