the request of Governor General Wood
sent to Cuba to thoroughly examine
into the mineral resources of the island,
have reported informally that as
phaltum deposits are found in all parts
of Cuba, but more frequently and in
larger quantities in the provinces of
Santa. Clara and Matanzas. In many
places on the north coast the mineral
is found in a solid form, but inland and
south of Cardenas and eastward it is
fluid, and in some places comes to the

81 miles east of Cardenas. where the as
phaltum has oozed from the earth for
many years.

THEY MAY PLAY 'POSSUM.
Denver News Says D. a. O. Team ia
Weak-Post Declares Not.

Denver, Col, Oct. 1.-THE News says:
THE condition of the d. A. G. is any
thing but roseate, and fears are enter
tanned that unless big squirt is made
the Washburn game may not be so
even and exciting as in years past De-
spite the fact that the entire team has
hardly been together as yet and that
no real practice has been had Coach
Cavanaugh says that the d. A @. will
confront Washburn with a strong line.
But just now things look gloomy.
Another Kirkhoff is coming to play
with the d. A. C. team. This time it
is not Herman Kirkhoff, the giant who
has been Gibraltar of strength to the
D. A. G. line for years, but his brother.
who works in a drug store at Eighth
and Santa Fe avenues. He is as big
and husky as his famous brother.
ID. w. G. ought to be in much better
trim for the Washburn game than the
D. A c.. as they will have at least
three games before they meet the Kan
sas college. This will not only harden
all of the candidates and get them used
to the knocks of a tough game. but it
will do much to dispel the nervousness
which comes with the first game of the
season.
"All eyes of course, are turned to the
great contest between the D. A G. and
the d. w. c., which comes off on the
23d At the present time the d. w. c.
line is much stronger than that of the
Athletic club, and it looks though
the D. A. c. backs would have a pretty
tough job on their hands trying to
plough through it."
SAYS D. A. c. is STRONG.
The Post says: 1.-THE D. A. c. this sea-
son promise to have very strong team
again; in fact it will be nearly as heavy
and as good as last years eleven was.
and this is saying great deal, as with
the possible exception of the 1895 team
the cherry and black were never better
represented on the football field than
they were in 1900 when the D. w. c.,
with the assistance of the referee, had
the distinction of being the only ones to
cross the Athletic clubs goal line. OF
last years eleven Captain Rothwel,
Coach Cavanaugh, Gallagher, Urlau,
Brown VanStone and Loomis are all
back again and will form a strong nu-
cleus around which to build another
good team, and many new and promis-
ing candidates are trying for the team
this season.

The Chicago Tribune prints three
columns of information in regard to
the present conditions of the shipbuild-
ing industry. 1t appears that our great
shipyards ARE crowded with vessels in
course of construction" vessels rang
ing in size from the river tug to the
great ocean liner. Practically every
shipyard in the country has been en-
1arged In the last two years. and most
of them are preparing to increase their
facilities still further. At Newport
News the investment amounts to $14,-
600. 900, and 1000 men are employed, and
there were at one time during the pres
ent year vessels under construction
having a tonnage of 145.100. Twenty-six
merchant ships have been launched this
year at the yards at Bath, Me, and
vessels have been built there costing
more than $7.S50.00e- At Camden, N. J.,
four freighters of 5000 tons each are
being built. and two others are under

The proposition to prohibit Episcopal
cIergymen from solemnizing the mar
riage of persons previously divorced
has been turned down by the San Fran
cisco convention Perhaps it is just as
well. There are so many difficulties in
the way of making people be good, by
statute either clerical or otherwise. that
it hardly seems worth while to under
take it, Those who desire to violate
the moral code generally find some way
to do so regardless of all regulations
destined to prevent their doing so. In
the case under consideration divorced
parties desiring to marry again would
give the Episcopal minister the go by
and try one of another denomination.
or the probate judge. The church
would be the loser in many ways and
would confer no benefit on society.

SONS OF REVOLUTION.
Routine Business Transacted at We'd
nesdaY,s Meeting.


The Kansas Society of the Sons Of the
American Revolution met Wednesday
afternoon in the new rooms of the His
torical society. They occupied the
private and commodious office of Secre-
tary Martin who is absent on his we'd
ding trip.
Secretary VIM. e. Conneliey reported
a membership of about $50 members,
showing marked increase. Applica-
lions OF Col. E. c. Little and w. T.
Salisbury were approved.
Communications were read from the
national society relating to locating a
national memorial park, and the pub
lication of the National Register, vol
ume of several hundred pages, to be
ready in February next, illustrated with
portraits and places of historic interest.
Several places have been mentioned as
suitable locations for memorial park,
Saratoga among others. 1t was sug-
gested that Washington itself Is the
most appropriate place, not because of
its connection with any event of the
revolution, but because of it's political
and general historic associations. Here
statues of all our presidents as well
those of our naval and military heroes
could be conferred. which was thought
more desirable than distributing them
over the country, and especially when
erected at the national expense.
An invitation was read from the
regent of the Topeka chapter Of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
inviting the members of the society to
ing the site of the first house erected
in Topeka, on Saturday, at D. m. The
invitation was favorably received, and it
was voted that all who could do SO
should attend. In order to insure
efficient secretary upon whom much
work devolves it WIS voted that here
after s. per month be paid as some COM
penSation. Reference was made to the
death of President Mckinley and the
necessity of more universal and higher
patriotic education, well as more
careful protection by law, in order to
prevent if possible the recurrence Of
such deplorable affairs. Steps were
taken looking to a proper observance of
Washington's birthday and motion
of r. H. Foster 1t was ordered the board
of managers invite the cooperation of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, the G. A. r. and other patriotic
orders together with the state officials,
and the mayor and council of the city
to unite in a patriotic Observance of the
day at the auditorium

HURTS AUSTRIA.
Rapid Succession of Failures of Ger
man Banks

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Vienna cor
respondent of the Times says:
The rapid succession of failures of i'm
portant banks in Germany during the
last few months has unfavorably af-
fected the business of Austria. More
over, the proposed new German customs
tariff threatens to be fatal to the Aus
trian export trade to Germany, and may
cause Austria-Hungary to resort to en-
ergetic reprisalS.
The present commercial and indus
trial position of Austria Hungary, says
the correspondent is more unsatisfactory
