LATEST BOWLING FIGURES
THREE-FOURTHs OF THE SEASONS
GAMES HAVE BEEN PLAYED.
Y. N. c. A. Leads, With Excellent
Prospects of Capturing
the Trophy.

The race for the championship of the Dis
trict Bowling League Is approaching the
homestretch, three-quarters of the season
having now elapsed. All of the league
clubs have played in fifty-four games, and
below Is printed a table showing the rec
ords of those players who have participated
In hfteen or more games There have been
but few changes in the individual positions
during the quarter Just closed, Brosnan
still leading with an average of 1T2-the
best In the history of the league.
The Young Mems Christian Association
team still holds first place, and they have
excellent prospects of capturing the trophy.
1t is hard pushed, however, by the team
Of excellent bowlers who wear the colors
Of the Jolly Fat Mems Club. The con-
test mas narrowed down to these two, and
1t seems quite unlikely now, with the end
OF the season at hand, that either the
Saengerbund or Carroll Institute will again
engraVe their names upon the splendid
silver cup, presented by the South WASH
ington Business Mems Club in 1897. BY
the conditions attached by the donors this
cup remains permanent trophy, to be
contested for annually until won by some
league team three times The title then
passes from the league, and the cup be-
comes the absolute property Of the club
SO winning it. Had the Saengerbunds cap
tured the championship this year it would
prize. since they won 1t in 1898 and again
in 1900. In 1899 1t went to Carroll Insti-
tute
This years contest is apparently shaping
up In logical manner. The youngsters
of the Y. M. c. A. showed what they could
do last year, and for first season players
they made a highly creditable record.
With the benefit of a seasons experience
to guide them, the boys this year made a
dash for first place at the outset and
since November have never been headed
The Fat Mems Club was made up of first
class material, practically all of it's men
being veteran players. Early in the sea-
son they were regarded by many bowlers
as probable winners, but there came a
slump, and 1t took a long while to regain
the lost ground.
The Golden Eagles have been a great
disappointment, and they have been con-
tent with the rear of the procession for
some time. The Columbias and the Busi-
ness Mer are at home in their old places
near the end, and plod along about as they
have done for years.
The developments Of the last quarter
are watched with great interest by an
army Of bowling enthusiasts, and while
there is small likelihood Of any important
changes In the positions of the teams, in
terest is at fever heat. The figures in the
following table are compiled from the rec
ords of Mr.. A. c. Roderick, the official
scorer, and are, therefore, accurate:

A dispatch from Dumaguete. Island of
Negros, Philippine Islands, dated April o.,
says: Since the United States Philippine
commission was at Bacolod, the capital of
this island, March 21, the native civil gov
ernor Of the island, Senor Soverino, has
attempted to start an insurrection against
the establishing of the commissions new
system Of civil government. He failed to
secure following.
The sentiment of the provincial govern
ments is almost unanimous in favor of
the division of the fund of $4,000 Mexican
currency now in the hands of the present
government of Negros, between the pro-
posed provinces of Occidental and Oriental
Negros. The bone Of contention has been
that the commission set apart two-thirds
of this fund for Occidental and one-third
for Oriental Negros. the difference in the
amounts to be offset by taxes still unpaid
at Bacolod.
A resolution in favor of the organization
of the two provinces has been adopted.
Details have been embodied providing for
the obligations of the present government.
The provinces will be created later.

GEN. L1EBER GIVES AN OPINION.
Antf-Canteen Clause of Army Law
Does Not Apply to Chamb e rItn's.

Antf-Canteen Clause of Army Law
Does Not Apply to Chamberlin's.
The question as to whether liquor may
be sold at the Chamberlin Hotel on the
government reservation, Fort Monroe,
without violation Of the anti-canteen clause
Of the army reorganization law is now
under consideration at the War Depart
ment The anti-canteen law prohibits the
sale of liquor on any reservation used for
military purposes. It was generally sup
posed that this prohibition applied to
Chamberlin's and the Hygeia Hotel at
Fort Monroe and to the military hotel at
West Point. The point was raised, how
ever, that the law did not apply to the
Chamberlin Hotel IN view of the peculiar
conditions under which it was erected. The
hotel was built on the reservation by virtue
of a statute of the state Of Virginia as well
as by authority of an act Of Congress, and
has a different status than that of the
Hygeia and West Point hotels. Under the
Virginia statute the land on which the
Chamberlin Hotel is built was to revert
to the state so long as the hotel remains
there, but come again tnntler government
control If the structure We're removed. The
question was referred to General Lieber,
judge advocate general of the army, and he
has given an opinion to the Secretary of
War; The law officer holds, it is said, that
the ant1-canteen clause applies in the case
of the Hygeia Hotel, which is on a mill
tary reservation, but not to the Chamberlin
Hotel on the ground that-the latter is not
on military reservation according to
strict Interpretation Off the Virginia
statute under which it,. was conditionally
ceded to the government, No action has
yet been taken by the Secretary Of War.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
President Stearns Fears Wages Must
he Cut Unless Prices Are Maintained


Mr.. Irving A. Stearns, president of Coke
Bros. & Co., incorporated, a coal mining
company on the Delaware, Susquehanna
and Schuylkill railroad, was before the In
dustrial commission yesterday afternoon
and talked about the anthracite coal re-
gions. For some years. he says, his COM
pany has sold its coal to the railroad COM
panies on basis of GO per cent Of the price
at tidewater to the coal company and 40
per cent to the railroad, the latter guaran-
teeing to pay the expenses of the SALE The
stock of the coal companies is generally,
he said, owned by the railroad companies.
So far as he knew he thought the railroads
had secured these coal properties because
the coal men thought they could make
more money by selling than by operating
the collieries. He did not think the coal
men had been forced to sell out In 1900
Coke Bros. K Co, of which the witness
was president, mined 1,246 592 tons and
bought 529000 tons, that being 3n per cent
of the product of the anthracite region
His company had no agreement about what
it should mine, he having Instructions to
mine all the coal he can sell profitably
Mr.. Stearns thought the present prices
of anthracite coal are about all the trade
will stand. The increase in the consump-
ton of hard coal in the last ten wears has
been largely because of the increase in the
small sizes of coal. Anthracite coal has
been displaced frequently by gas and oil
stoves and by soft coal in large apartment
houses.
Mr.. Stearns said that his company en-
ploys $500 men, representing twenty ma
tionalities, about three-quarters being for
eigners. Some OF them engaged in the
strike of last fall, but only went out under
extreme intimidation to avoid loss of life
The average net earnings In the mines OF
the company Mr.. Stearns put at $43. &c
per month for the best months. He thought
that some Of the claims of the strikers
had been just. but he thought that some OF
the concessions ultimately made would

prices could be maintained and IL not ht

MARKET FOR AMERICAN SHOES.
Consul Skinner Reports MarseiIles as
Workable Field.

Consul Skinner Reports Marsetlles as
a Workable Field.
Consul Skinner at Marseilles, in a report
to the State Department, says he has been
applied to by shoe merchants of Marseilles
for addresses Of United States manufac-
turers of boots and shoes who are desirous
OF extending their trade to France. The
consul says he has received complaints
that American manufa cturers are too
much disposed to establish central agen-
cies at Paris and to rely upon them to
cover the entire French field. In conse-
quence, they are frequently unable to do
justice to the great extent of territory,
and are under the necessity of increasing
their prices to such an extent as to pre-
vent successful competition In the provin-
cial states. Shoes that are imported into
Paris are required to be transferred a
number of times before they reach the ul-
timate buyer throughout the French terri
tory.
The consul notes that In many cases the
local freight expense is greater than the
cost of transportation between New York
and France, and as Marseilles is a seaport
city, direct communication could be carried
on between the United States and that
city. Up to the present time no effort of
any consequence has been made to dispose
of American shoes and boots in a direct
manner Of transportation The consul
says he knows of only one provincial
dealer who sells American footwear, and
this dealer made a small purchase of it
from Partisan agency: He had good sue
cess in disposing of it. The only crit
icism offered at that shop is that the
American product has too much of a curve
in the instep, causing the sole of the instep
to press against the foot.
The consul trusts that If a serious at
tempt is made to build up a shoe trade In
France a special effort be made to push
high-class goods. The success of such a
movement will depend upon the manufac-
turers reputation for the production of
comfortable, stylish and finely finished
shoes
