1t is now practically settled that the
Eastern league will not include the cities
of Washington and Baltimore. At first
glance it appeared that the Eastern
league magnates were getting the worst
of the deal with the National league,
but later developments show that the
National league people have been willing
to deal fairly with the Eastern men.
The whole trouble is that the Eastern
league is not in strong financial conNi-
ton and cannot shoulder any great re-
sponsibility. The National league paid
$3S, 900 for the Washington franchise
and $4,000 for Baltimore. taking the
grounds, players, etc, as assets. They
received about $4,000 back from the sale
Of Washington players, but not so with
Baltimore This makes the purchase
price of each about $4,000. The Ma
tional league offered to lease the grounds
at Washington and Baltimore to the
Eastern league people for the actual rent
al of the grounds. which was $4,000 in
Washington and $500 in Baltimore, the
National league agreeing to pay all the
taxes, insurance, etc. The National
league offered the lease of the grounds
from year to year, claiming that if home
capital wanted to invest in the enter
prise that it was best for the game and
for the league in which the cities were
represented. This the Eastern league
refused to accede TO. demanding longer
lease. On the whole the terms offered
by the National league appear to be rea-
sonable and the blame should not rest
entirely on their shoulders.

A FAR-SEElN0 CHARITY.

How the Mothers of the Next Genera
ton Among the Poor Will Profit.
Probably the oldest phiAanthropic
establishment In New York City, and
yet one of the most practical there or
elsewhere, is a School for Little Moth
ers." This @. Montgomery McGovern
makes the subject OF an article In the
Woman's Home Companion, saying:
The object of this institution Is to
teach little girls TO become excellent
understanding more, nothing less.
Here the pupils are given no instruc-
tons in reading, writing, arithmetic, or
In any of the other subjects learned In
ordinary schools. Instead, they are
taught here how to wash clothes and
dishes properly; how to dress them
selves neatly, even with cheap cloth
Ing; how to wash and dress their
younger sisters and brothers; how to
scrub and sweep; how to keep even q
tenement home neat and cheerful: how
to buy food and clothing economically:
how to mend; how to sew, and how to
cook dishes that are both cheap and an
petizing. Each little mother is taught
also how to act at table, being drilled
hrst as waitress, next as a guest and
finally how to conduct herself in the
capacity Of hostess. The little girls
who attend this school are the elder
children In extremely poor and large
families of the tenements where both
the father and mother must go out to
work; or where the death Of the father
nas made the mother the only bread
winner; or, as Is most often the case.
where the mother is too weak either
from ill-health or from malnutrition %
attend to her household duties as she
might If she were well.
THE babies in the nursery a~a hotN
boys ana girls, and are between the
ages of two and four. They are the
younger sisters and brothers of the
little mothers who are In the other
apartments learning how to conduct
themselves at home. At stated inter
walls throughout the day the older girls
come up to the nursery, here to be
shown by an experienced teacher how
to undress Tommy, wash his face and
hands, put on night-gown (for the chill
dren have never heard of such an ar
dcle at home), and how to put him to
sleep In a soft white bed. Then they
darken the room and go to other du-
ties"

Terms of Agreement.

London, Oct. 2l.-Ihe terms of the
agreement which was arrived at October
Is between Lord Salisbury and Count Won
HATFIELD German ambassador to Eng
land, are officially given out as follows:
"The German government and her
British majestys government, being de-
sirous to maintain their interests in China
and their rights under existing treaties,
have agreed to observe the following prin-
ciples regarding a mutual policy in China:
'First-It is matter of joint perma-
nent international interest that the ports
on the rivers and littoral of China should
remain free and open to trade and to
every other legitimate form of economic
activity for the peoples of all the coun-
tries without distinction, and the two gov
ernments agree on their part to uphold
the same for all Chinese territory as far
as they can exercise influence.
''Second-Both governments agree that
the question will not on their part make
use of the present complication to obtain
for themselves any territorial advantages
in Chinese dominion, and will direct their
policy toward maintaining undiminished
the territorial condition of the Chinese en-
pire.
''Third-In case of another power MAX
ing use of the complications in China in
order to obtain under any form whatever
such territorial advantages, the two con-
tracing parties reserve to themselves the
right to come to preliminary understand
ing regarding the eventual step to be taken
for the protection of their own interests
in China.
"Fourth-The two governments will
communicate this agreement to the other
powers interested, especially Austria Hun
gary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and
the United States, and invite them to ac-
cept the principles recorded in it,"

Spokane Lost.

Pullman, Wash, Oct. 22.-The Wash

of football Saturday from the Spokane
team by score of to 0. The game was
interesting from start to finish and was
played before 300 people. Many fumbles
were made as the result of the muddy
field, but as a rule it was good football.
The Spokane men put up good game
for the first of their season. They were
inclined to make offside plays, and were
punished for it several times. Slugging
was also noticeable at times

q THE CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
No Extension of That Road Is Likely
ut Present.

st. Paul, Mimi, Co. 22.-Although
the new maps of the Northern Pac fc
show proposed extension of the Gen.
trail Washington branch it is not be
lieved that such an extension will be
built for many years il at ELL "In the
first place." said well-posted railroad
man recently, there is not sufficient
business to justify its construction.
The present branch is without excuse
for being, and an extension would only
make things worse. The chief bust
ness done is the handling of wheat 1t
is hauled east an average of 10 miles
to be hauled west again on the main
line. With the ever present POSSIBLE
ity of adverse legislation would be
the height Of folly to extend the mile
age.
THE only extension of the branch
tina. good railroading would justify
would be to continue the line on to the
coast, as was originally Planned, but I
do not expect this will be done for some
years. Both Vice President Kendrick
and Chief Engineer McNiel oppose this
plan, and their advice counts heavily"

United States Ahead.

London, Oct. 2l.-One of the most no.
table speeches of last week was delivered
by Sir Robert Clifton, the noted statistican
and former president of the Statistical So
ciety, before the Manchester Statistical
society, upon the population of the
world. He declared the growth of the
United States compelled her recognition
as the most powerful state in the world
so far as population and resources were
concerned. He pointed out that the
United States recently had a greater popu-
lation than any European state, for Great
Britain's strength might be considered di-
minished rather than increased by the
acquisition of large territories, while the
units of the Russian population were so
inferior that the pre-emnence of the Unit
ed States is not questioned. According to
Sir Robert there are now only four great
world powers, the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and German, with France
a doubtful fifth He expressed the belief
that the "yellow peril would vanish,
as the yellow races were being outnum-
bered by the Europeans, which in another
century would number 2,0OO,OOO,OOO.

FAMOUS INDIAN.
Chief Spencer, of the Yakima, Reserva-
tion, Nearly a Century Old.

The Yakima Indians boast of an old
,hieftain who is almost a centenarian
He is known as Chief Spencer, and is
one of the most noted characters Of the
Yakima reservation. His memory is
clear and carries him back to many
fierce battles and skirmishes with the
whites who first pioneered the North
west At one time Chief Spencer was
powerful enemy of the white man and
vowed that he would kill every man,
woman and child he met. This vow
was made in revenge for the death OF
his family, whom company of whites
,ruelly massacred while they were on
the way to Fort Vancouver, seeking
protection of the United States troops.
Spencer served with Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan, and is kindly mentioned in his
memoirs.
Spencer was warrior in the earlier
days of Yakima, when the noted Chief
Moses commanded all the allied tribes
Of the Northwest When old Ki-mi-a-
kin refused to treat with the govern
ment, Spencer was put in command Of
the reservation Indians. They were
given a section of country comprising
l,40O square miles, lying to the east of
Mount Adams and including the finest
district of Eastern Washington. 1t is
now included as portion of Yakima
County. Spencer served as the chief
and was paid $500 annually of the
money that should have gone to Ki-mi-
akin. In 1878, when the Umatillas and
Bannocks were causing trouble, Gen.
D. O. Howard requested Spencer to
send his family of wife, two sons
and three daughters, all small children,
10 Vancouver for protection. He start
ed them on the journey, but they were

of honor with her youthful sovereign.
The present Queen is SO years old
some say she is 42-whereas the King
only attained his Goth birthday in Au-
gust.
When Alexander welded Nine. Ora
ga Maschin he created a decided stir
In the regal realm. The new Queen is
snubbed by ladies of the diplomatic
corps at Belgrade, but the young King,
who has the military body on his side,
cares naught. When his father, ex-
King Milan, attempted to thwart the
marriage, Alexander caused him to be
Intercepted, whereupon the sire resign
ed command of the Servian army. Re-
Gently Alexander has abandoned his
tendency for carousing and is leading a
fairly respectable life. His wife is one
of the most charming women in Servia.

attacked by a company of white men
and massacred. The family was dis
covered lying in a semi-circle, each with
ropes around the neck, having been
strangled.
When Chief Spencer heard of the
massacre he vowed eternal vengeance
on the white people and declared that
he would kill every person hemet. But
before waging a warfare of extermina.
ton he quietly investigated the facts
that led up to the massacre. He learn.
ed that the old Chief Klickitat who
had been disappointed at Spencer re-
fusing to go to war, had been the in
stigator in the murder of his family
He promptly shot Klickitat dead. Spen-
Ger is mentioned In Sheridan's memoirs
as a noted Chinook chief. He assisted
Gen. Sheridan in many ways as a scout
and interpreter, and acted as a media
tor with the Nez Perces and Spokanes
In making compromises with the gov
eminent. Although 9S years of age
he enjoys good health and is a hale old
veteran of many days of war and In
dian depredations.
