WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-A delegation
of prominent Cubans who are coming to
this country to present to President
Roosevelt a petition for reciprocity be-
tween the island of Cuba and the United
States is expected to arrive in New York
tomorrow. The delegation represents the
general sentiment of merchants and
manufacturers and other Cuban economic
organizations. The president asks:
F'irst-That molasses and raw sugars,
UP to No 16, Dutch standard, manufac-
tured in Cuba, be admitted into the
United States free of all duties.
Second-That tobacco leaf, grown in
Cuba, and classified under Para graph

East Team of Racers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Bobby Wal
thour and Archie McEachern, two of the
fastest pace followers during the past
season, have teamed up and entered IN
the coming international siX-day cycle
race which begins at Madison Square
garden on Dec. 8.
AS McEachen holds the championship
of Canada, and Walthour has always
been in the championship. class, the pair
will be known as the "Pan-American
team of cycle champions.
In letter to p. L Powers Walthour
says he is delighted over the fact that he
has at last been able to secure a partner
who is game and can go the route.
Last year. Walthour teamed with Char
ley Miller, but the latter rider was not
in shape for the contest and quit. The
years previous he had Jay Eaton for a
mate, and the pair led-the field by a lap,
which meant victory, when Eaton let-u
and quit.
Walthour however, continued in the
race and won the individual prize. He
is certain of his team mate this year, for
.AGcEacherlle has finished with the leaders
in every .six-day race he has ever com
peted in.
McEachern and Walthour have already
started in to train for the big event, and
the indications are that they will make
it interesting for the bunch of foreign
riders who are on their way to this
country to take part in the cycle
Derby of the world.
Besides Walthour and McEachern
America will be well represented, as ten
teams of the best riders are being
formed.

The first game in the billiard tourna-

local man. Hatley, of Duluth, who play
ed against him, piled up his 300 While
Glow was getting 1853 buttons counted up
on the. string.
The game itself was slow, neither man
seeming to be in even average form and
miscues were frequent. Both men fen
down ION easy shots and the game, as
will be seen from the averages, was not
ur to the standard of either man. 1t
took HALEY forty-one innings to make
the necessary points, giving him an
average of z $40, While CLOVIS average

most that Glow surrounded in any one
inning was Is. He made a run of II and one
of 16 Hatley had IA blanks charged up
against him and in II innings Glow failed
to score.
Glow got the break and missed the
first shot. Hatley followed with a blank
and Glow piled up in his second in
ming while Hatley only coralled At
the end of the tenth inning Hatley had
scored "a to CLOVIS "a and at the twenty
fifth HatIey was there with $50 to Glow 5
SO Hatley made his high run of 81 in the
fifteenth inning, which was preceded by
a run of II, and followed by run OF L.
Glow got his high run of Is in the thlr-
ty-eighth. However, he had bad luck
during the latter part of the game, get
ting four blanks in the last six innings.
1t might be said that Glow played in
hard luck all the way through, for he
did not make point that he did not
have to work for and the balls refused
to be guided into anything like position
by him. He was unfortunate especially
III his draw shots. Hatley on the other
hand played in a little better luck, but at
that he earned nearly everything he got.
He had the balls going nicely in the
fifth inning when he miscued after run
OF five.
There was a good-sized audience and
the players were frequently applauded,
although it was evident that both felt
that they were not playing their game.
Fred Sabin acted as referee. Glow will
play Peterson, of Fargo, tonight and the
local enthusiasts look for him to win this
match. The tournament will close Thurs
day night when Spears, of Minneapolis,
and Glow will play.

RESULT OF COURT OF INQUIRY
WILL BE ADMIRAL's svINDICATIoN
Report Will Probably BE Brief

Time.


CHICAGO, New 18e-A special to the
Chronicle from Il Washington says: Ac-
cording to infornation which has reach.
ed the navy department through cham
nels in a measure controlled by the de-
partment, the verdict of the Schley
court of inquiry Will practically be a
complete yindication of Admiral Schley.
Moreover, instead of a long, discursive
opinion, covering all che complex details
Of the inquiry, the court Will hand down
a brief and teFses verdict which, it is
said will not take more than 500 words
+ The three adnfiFais comprising the
court decided upon this form of verdict
very soon after they began their session.
Approaching the desire of the public and
everybody concerned for a verdict that
would be neither long nor involved. they
agreed at the outset that they would be
exceedingly spare of words
The department anticipated the find
ings of the court before. the inquiry was
actually closed, by having Judge Advo-
cate Lemly incorporate a defense of Long
and Crowninshield in his address. The
showing made by Admiral Schley was
such a revelation to Long and Crownin-
Shield, and even to others who were more
familiar with the details of the case
against Sehley. that they saw that the
courts verdict could hardly be other
wise than vindication of the hero OF
Santiago.
Understanding the effect of such YER
dict upon themselves and their future
fortunes, they began immediate prepara-
tons to get as far out of public view
as possible. sCrowninshield hopes to as

Admiral Evans will not return from Tu-

who comprise the court have worked in

NEGLIGENCE PROVED
ST. LOUIS CORONER FINDS HEALTH
DEPARTMENT CRIMINALLY
AAELEss
BAcTERIoLoGIsTs COINCIDE
Anti-Toxin Was Prepared From
Serum Taken From a Horse That
Developed Tetanus Very
Strongly.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 1S.--Coroner
Funkhouser today rendered a verdict,
finding the st. Louis health department
negligent in the preparation of diphtheria
anti-toxin that caused the death by
lcekjaw (tetanus) of seven children to
whom it was recently administered for
diphtheria. The verdict in part is as
follows:
1--WE find that the deceased came to
their death from tetanus following the
administration of diphtheria anti-toxin
Containing tetanus-toxin, said diphtheria
anti-toxin having been prepared and is
sued by the health department of the
city of st. Louis and bearing dates IN
labels of Aug. "a and Sept so. 1901 The
presence of tetanus toxin in the diph-
iberia anti-toxin shows negligence on the
part of the board of health and in the
issuance thereof.
Robert M. Funkhouser
Frank BOUCHER M. D.
John G. Fitzsimmons,
Deputy
For some time the city health depart
ment has been making anti-toxin for use
in diphtheria cases. This was distribute
ed among practicing physicians through
out the city free of charge and used in
the city institutions quite generally In
many cases it is said to have saved
lives
Funkhouser said:
For the present, I have done all that
1 can do. l am not prepared to say that
1 am through with the case, but as far
as know now there is nothing for me
to do. [ have rendered the verdict and
that is all | am able to do thus far.
Conclusions of BacterioIogists.
The findings of the committee of bac-
teriologists were, in brief, as follows:
1.-The testimony shows that the health
department owned a horse named jim,
stabbed at the poorhouse farm and used
in the preparation of diphtheria anti
toxin. Said horse developed tetanus on
Oct. 2, 1901, and was at once killed. Blood
was drawn from said horse, Jim, on Aug.
a. 1901 the serum Of which was nom
toxic. Blood was again drawn from said
horse Sept. 80 during the period of the
incubation of tetanus, the serum of
which contained tetanus toxin
1.-The serum drawn on Aug. "a was free
from tetanuS, but the serum OF Sept. 20
was drawn during the period of incuba-
ton, and had it been tested upon ami
mails, it must necessarily have revealed
it's toxic properties.
''From the facts we are forced to con-
clude that the diphtheria antf-toxin pre-
pared by the city health department had
been issued before it was possible to
have obtained results from the abso-
lutely necessary tests. Had these tests
been performed the results upon animals
would not have been dispensed and the
cases of tetanus forming the basis of this
report could not have resulted.

In this connection the stand taken by
Gov. Van SAINT, Of Minnesota, and the re-
port that Gov. White, of North Dakota,
also Is considering the calling of a spe-

action if an agreement can be reached
as to the methods to be pursued.
