COMMERCIAL WAR,

Reciprocity Would Improve COndi.
tiOBs for American Exporters.
From the Atlantic.
It is the function of reciprocity not only
to improve present tariff conditions in for
etgn countries for the benefit of our export
ing interests, but to establish effectual
guarantees against worse conditions Per-
haps indeed this is the most important
phase Of the whole subject 1t is well
known that the governments Of certain
great commercial powers of Europe are
contemplating the revision of their customs
tariffs at the earliest feasible date. Prepa-
rations for that event are already in prog
ress, In the form Of preliminary tariff
studies and projected schedules.
1t requires no great political sagacity to
perceive that what is termed the "Ameri-
can commercial invasion" of Europe, added
to the MISREPRESENTATION of the Dingiey
tariff, has aroused feeling of strong re-
sentiment and spirit of retaliation in the
invaded territory. d" = An official coalition
would be difficult, but the real danger is
that, provoked by the same transoceanic
conditions and acting independently, the
principal nations of Europe may enact in
imical and highly discriminating tariffs
against the United States, to the incalcuIa-
BILE injury of American commerce. Indeed
one such tariff Is actually in course of Of
fcial preparation by Germany, and will go
into effect it is said, January l. 1901 The
recent retaltatory action of Russia in with
drawing from our manufactures the bene-
mt or the minimum rates of her conyen-
tional tariff. and subjecting them to the al
most prohibitory duties Of her general tar
iff, has already resulted In considera BILE
loss to our producers. Similar commercial
reprisals are to be feared in other quarters
unless the Dingley tariff is molIified bv the
equity of reciprocity.

DANNY MAHER HOME AGAIN.
The Little Jockey Next Season will
Ride for King Edward.

Danny Maher, the American jockey, who
will ride the race horses owned by King
Edward VII of England next year. arrived
in New York on the steamship Kaiser VII
helm der Crosse Tuesday.
Maher is the first Yankee boy who ever
received a contract to ride for King Ed
ward. Tod Sloan was to be engaged, but
he got in fight with English writer,
and the unpleasant comment which 1t
brought forth caused negotiations to stop
between England's ruler and Sloan.
Danny will receive $25, 900 for his han
ding of the kings horses. Since his acces-
sion to the throne his majesty's horses
have been raced in the name of the Duke
of Devonshre. Maher rode once or twice
for Richard Marsh, the trainer for the
king and his work gave such general salts
faction to everybody connected with the
stable that the little American boy was en-
gagged two months ago to ride In the royal
colors next season.
Maher will earn more money next year
than any other jockey who has ever
thrown a leg over a horse. In addition to
the money he will receive as retaining
fee to the king. he has two other engage
ments for which he will receive $4,000.
This amount, coupled with the $4,000
from the king and $1,000 outside fees, will
money that the President of the United
States receives.
King Edwards jockey is not yet twenty
one years old. He was born in Hartford.
He rode in this country for several years.
The season prior to the one he sailed for
England he was Tod Sloan's greatest rival
Since his advent on the English turf he
has won many great races. He has always
been popular there with both the public and
with owners.
II am over here on trip for the holi-
days." he said, in answer to a query as
to his intentions for next year. II will
remain in America until February and then
return to England to gallop the horses for

Il do not wish to say anything about tl,e
Lester Reiff case. as 1t might be construed
as a criticism of the stewards. Reiff and

last season was Ard Patrick, owned by
John Gubbins l rode him in three races
and won twice. Game Chick ridden by
Johnny Reiff and trained by John Higgins,

feat.

The parlors of the Marlborough Whist
Club were again crowded last night, the
regular evening for compass whist play,
eleven tables being required to accommo-
date those who wished to participate In the
silent game. The hands were streaky,
big majority of the trumps being located
north and south, with the result that large
scores were the rule in that division.
Clever reading of the cards allowed trick
winning illnesses to be played successfully,
and many substantial gains were regis
tered. Miss Fuller and Mrs. Stewart car
ried off top-score honors, Isl. of the north
and south division, while Mrs. Prentice and
Mr.. Saxton made the best figures. 13o, east
and west.
The Marlborough Club has two top-score
pins instead Of one, as inadvertently stated
last week. and Mrs Stewart Is sharing
honors with Miss Charlotte Schmidt this
month for the best figures in November.
1t is expected that all the scoring at the
Marlborough hereafter will be done under
the Howell system, the score sheets having
arrived yesterday. This will do away with
sitting OUT or playing dummy, and Will
be more satisfactory to all concerned
All the playing for the American Whist
League trophy has been confined to chi
cago so far this season, and the latest re-
ports from the windy city are to the effect
that the Haniltons defeated Illinois last
week by the score OF 30 to 10. The Ham
iItons gained steadily throughout and were

Roy Thomas to Sign With BaltimOres

The Philadelphia club stands good
chance of losing Roy Thomas. The feet
footed center fielder went to New York
yesterday with Manager Shettsline for the
purpose Of talking business with Colonel
Rogers
He carried a contract along to show the
colonel and give him the first chance to
sign. But the colonel. who had evidently
been tipped Off as to the amount of salary
inserted, refused. so the friends Of Thomas
assert, to look at 1t OF talk business at this
time.
AS result Thomas returned to his home
in Norristown last night In an ugly frame
of mind. 1t Is known that Muggsy Nc
Graw and Connie Mack have been after
Thomas the past week, and the presump-
tion Is that he put UP to Rogers the best
terms offered him by the American League,

After his alleged cold reception In New
York yesterday by the colonel, the Ameri-

dieting that Thomas will sign with either
the Athletics or Baltimore within the next

BOERS MURDERED KAFFIRs.
Lord Kitchener Produces Details Re

Lord Kitchener Produces Details Re.
garding Former Charges.
A dispatch from London yesterday saws.
Lord Kitchener's promised statement speci-
flying thirty-seven separate instances in
which natives have been shot by the Beers.
and which involve the loss of eighty-four
lives, was issued by the war Office tonight
" In some Of the cases mentioned the
blacks were shot after an informal court
martial, or upon being accused of spyins
but in numerous instances Lord Kitchener
indicates the natives were shot in cold
blood in order to hide traces of the move
ments Of Boer commanders.
The period covered by Lord Kitchener's
statement is over a year.
In speaking at Glasgow tonight, MFR.
referred to Lord Kitchener's report unon
the shooting of blacks by the Beers. Mr
Brodrfck said that this report made II ner
fectly clear that these murders were not
part of an organized system to cover the
tracks OF the enemy and to prevent possible
information Of their whereabouts.
Deallng with present aspects Of the war.
Mr.. Brodrick said the Beers had accented
parole and broken 1t, and that there would
be no repetition of such actions Within
recent weeks Boer commanders had shown
less regard for the laws of war than up to
the present time. and these bandits would
before long reach crisis when they couj,i
no longer be treated as belligerents.
The speaker said that the government was
for no half measures in securing a settle
ment, and that any fresh negotiations must
emanate from the Beers
Referring critically to the dissensions in
the liberal party, Mr.. Brodrick created
amusement by declaring that had Lord
Rosebery been premier the liberals wonlS
have had a right to his counsel since the
captain could not withdraw and sulk in his
cabin during rough weather. especially as
the hrst mate had turned pirate and was
engaged in looting the cargo

SCENT.
Perfume AccOmplishes q Higher End
Than Pleasure.

fef1ume AcCOmpk1SheS a HlS ner
Than Pleasure.
From the Lancet.
1t should be remembered that the basis
of all perfumes is an essential Oil of some
kind, derived either naturally from flowers
or leaves or artificially by synthetic proc
ess. In either case the essential oil Is
powerful antiseptic and possesses hdisnfect-
ing properties not less In degree than those
Of carbolic acid itself. AS is well known,
the essential oils absorb atmospheric oxy-
gen, forming an unstable compound easily
lending oxygen for the work Of purifica-
ton. Pine oil, eucalyptus oil and turpen-
tine act readily in this manner-a fact
which probably accounts for the salubrity
of the air of pine forests and eucalyptus
woods. The use Of scent by many women
is excessive, and by men is looked upon as
effeminate-a prejudice that we confess to
sharing-and yet the question naturally
arises: AS we study our environment to
please the eye by color and natural ef-
fects and to please the ear by musical
notes, why should we not make similar en-
deavor to please the nose by agreeable and
fragrant odors? Each sense may suffer
orense and there is no reason why each
this regard. And the use Of scent on the
pocket handkerchief, which Is where we
commonly find 1t, is calculated to exercise
a higher office than merely to please the
SeISo VI Smeh. NE HdhdkeFcniSI may edS~
lily prove a source of infection, for 1t is
made to be the common receptacle of Sc
cretions from the nose and mouth and the
employment Of an antiseptic handkerchief
Is perfectly consistent with the dictates of
common meteorological evidences The
liberal use of scent on the handkerchief Is
calculated to make it antiseptic and to de-
stroy the germs in it, owing to the action
partly Of the spirit of the scent and partly
Of the essential oils dissolved In the spirit.
Before, therefore, we condemn the persons
who use scent upon the handkerchief for
practicing a foppish or luxurious habit we
should remember that they may actually be
doing good to their neighbors by checking
the distribution of infectious materials.

ris suggested Bob Fitzsimmons, and Shar-
key said Fitzsimmons would be satisfac-
tory. Sullivan wanted the weight to be
126 pounds at 2 o'clock on the afternoon OF

would not agree to this, and for time 1t
looked as if the match was Off. However,

CAROLS Won O Close Game.
Teams representing the Urell Rifles and
the Carroll Institute Of the District Indoor
Base Ball League came together last night
at the Center Market armory, and a great
contest followed, the latter finally winning
out by the score Of II to II. The Urells
started off like winners, making four runs
in the first inning, but the CAROLS kept
plugging away, and in the last three In
nings ran up a total of seven runs, enough
to land them winners. The large gathering
present was kept on the tip-toe Of excite
ment by the score being tied repeatedly.
and also by the many sensational plays
made by both sides. Murphy pitched a
fine game for the CAROLS. and with per-
feet support would have made victory easy.
Ashley also pitched well in the early part
of the game for the Urells. but weakened
toward the last and was given poor sup
port.
BY agreement Of the league there will be
no further championship games until jan
uary Z, when the schedule will be re-
sumed.
