MAY CHANGE TACTICS.
Treaty With Cuba Instead of Reci-
 procity Bill.

Washington. June 1e-Senator Platt, of Con necticut. chairman of the Committee on Cuban White House. where he had a conference with the President on the subject of the probable fate of the Cuban reciprocity measure in the Senate.
 He declined to make any statement concern ing the Presidents views as expressed to him. but said that speaking entirely for himself he would force the Senators who holding out against reciprocity to cast their vote either with or against the party.
 There is not a beet sugar State,' said the Senator where if the question was put be- fore a Republican convention, reciprocity would not be endorsed. Where lot of men setting themselves up in opposition to their party, they should be forced to go on record by their vote"
 Senator Willard of Nebraska who opposed the reciprocity plan was present during part of the conference. and the President remarked to him that Nebraska had endorsed her own Senators.
 To a number of his callers today President Roosevelt stated that he finds sufficient en- dorsement of his stand on the Caban question in South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska. To a personal friend today he said he felt particu- larly grateful to Congressman Burkett of Ne braska and Congressman Martin of South Da- kota for their attitude in the conventions: also that he took particular pride in the en- dorsement from the three States above named because he was peculiarly close to those States.

Those close to the Presi- dent assert that his feeling now is that fl reciprocity Is not granted at this time 1t might come sooner or later and that those Senators who at present are opposing IL eVen-

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
List of Probable Starters and the
 Odds Against Them.

Chicago, June 1e The fifteenth Amer ican Derby which will be run at Wash
 noon is regarded as the most uncertain since the worlds derby of 1885 The race appears to be the East against the West. The East furnishes the three betting and 1t is only on the theory that the Western colts may be in better condi- ton as result of avoiding the trip across the country that Westerners figure
 so good chance for a colt from this sec tion to win.
 There is eairly good prospect of a good track and day for the derby. How ever. the complexion of the race will not | be changed much by weather conditions. | The chances are there will be an enor- nous crowd. The horses likely to start, with their weights. jockeys and owners | are as follows:
 | Arsenal. 122. O'Connor, to l; A. Feath- | erstone.
 Belle's Commoner. 122. Knight. 8 to 1,
 Heno. 1S2, Bullman. 2 to 1. c. H. Mc-
 Hermis. 12s Mccue. 10 to 1: H. Nj
 Lord ouex. 12s. J. Woods. 20 to 1: s. c.
 Lucien Appleby. 1sa. Birkenruth. IS to 1.

 wyeth, 122, Lyme, 10 to 1, J. A. Drake.
 There is possibility that the follow
 ing may start but they- are doubtful.
 Abe Frank. 125. Coburn. 20 to 1. G. c
 Bennett.
 Bennett.
 McChesney. 122. caywood. 10 to i. s. c. Hildreth.
 ProwI. 122 Davisson. 25 to 1. J. U. Strode.
 South Trimble. 122, ....... 30 to 1. Maker and Gentry. All the horses in the above list are here with the exception of South Trim ble Arsenal and Pentecost arrived from the East today in good condition One disappointment came today in the announcement of the withdrawal of Cru sados who was slightly cut yesterday in the accident in the derby trial at liar lem which resulted in McChesney fall ing. As to McChesney. there is possibility that he may yet go to the post although this is doubtful. McChesney was the colt chiefly relied on to carry the banner or the West against the banner of the East
 ir the race and there has been sorrow among the race track partisans since yes- terday's accident.

PROF. MOORE TO LEAVE HAS BEEN INSTRUCTOR IN WHITING IN CITY SCHOOLS. He Withdrew Application for Re- election to Accept a Position in
 the Schools of Fort
 Worth, Texas.

Professor Richard F. Moore, for two years instructor of writing and drawing in the Montgomery public schools, has withdrawn his application for reelection to that position, and will leave Mont gomery about Sept. 1st to accept posi- ton of like character in the schools of Fort Worth. Tex. The successor to Pro- lessor Moore will probably be elected at a meeting of the City Board of Educa- tion to be held Saturday evening.
 Fort Worth, Tex, is the former home of Professor Moore. For six years he was instructor in writing and drawing in the public schools of that city. He came to Montgomery two years ago from Pine Bluff, Ark, where he taught In the schools. AT
 Professor Moore teaches the modified slant style of penmanship. He has a splendid exhibition of some of the work executed by the pupils of the different grades in the Montgomery public schools. Professor Moore expresses himself as be- ing much gratified with this result of his work here. He will take the exhibit with him to the meeting of the Southern Edu- cational Association, in Chattanooga. Tenn. on July 1. He also intends carry ing this specimen of the workmanship of Montgomery children to the meeting of the National Educational Association, which convenes in Minneapolis, Minn., July 5 and 6.
 Before going to Fort Worth Professor Moore will return to Montgomery and will probably remain here throughout the Summer.
 Professor Moore said last night he had been very much pleased with his stay in Montgomery. He thinks. however. that there is a broader field open to him in Texas.
 The regular meeting of the City Board of Education will take place Saturday evening in the Council chamber. At this meeting the successor to Professor Moore may be chosen.

 Rivals.

 From the beginning it was evident that the Gersts outclassed the Millers. but Tn spite of this fact the Millers played SC cd uphill game.
 The Gersts made four runs in the first inning. which appeared to be very dis couraging to the Miilers. but alter the first inning the Millers braced up and the Gersts did not score again until the hftn inning, when they scored twice. Ihey scored two more runs in the eighth.
 In the fourth inning on account or great many errors on the part or the Gersts. the Millers made four runs. which tied the score. This was the only inning in which the Milier's scored.
 As will be seen from the numper or earned runs. both pitchers did sooo work Nolley allowed three base hits ana Harwell eleven. The hits gotten OH oi Harwell were well scattered
 Williams. the centerfielder for the Mill Iers. did excellent work. and Pettus played a good game. Barker. Burnett. Creekmore and Calcaena played good ball for the Gersts.
 Ed Mahoney umpired the game and there was not a kick against his decis- ions. The absence of the usual Kicking attendant upon nearly every game of ball was noticeable.
 The Gersts, the winners of the game yesterday afternoon will play the lnde- pendents, the winners in the game ne- tween the Independents and the Falcons, Saturday afternoon. As both of these teams have won a game, Saturdays con test is looked forward to with much in terest.
 The following is the official score or vesterday's game:
