bccn borne ont by facts. As when one has lost an arm greater strength Is de- yeloped in the remaining member. so It was when his interest in racing at Gin cinnati. or to he more exact. his interest in Latonia. began to wane. MT. Weldon transferred his local sporting anection to the Cincinnati Baseball Club. There never was an organization or an insttu- ton fin the sporting line that was ac- corded such yeoman service as that which the big sporting editor gave to Cincinnatrs representative. first in the A merican. and later in the National League af baseball clubs. He had much to do with making the Cincinnati Club the paying insttution that it always has been. and as in the racing business. he had virtually kept more than one trainer in well. so in baseball many man owed his retention in profitable employment largely to the influence. always exerted indirectly. to the big sporting editor.
 What has been said about racing and baseball might equally be said about pugilism. MT. Weldon's work in that branch of sport. however. was not local, as it was in the case of racing and base
 ball. His knowledge of the pugiitstic game was admittedly second to that of no other who had to do with it. and It is too well known to be more than mere ly referred to- He not only had a thor ough knowledge of the game but as well he had most extended acquaintance with and knowledge of those who en- gagged in it, whether as promoters or as actors. He undoubtedly had larger ac- quaintancc among the votaries of all the sports and made more personal friends among them. than any other one man in this country. His popularity among the sporting fraternity 4aA made manifest when in the hour of his affiiction, con tribution from these friends in all parts of the country realized upwards of s10000. Weldon has been affectionately termed the prince of sporting writers" Those who were closely associated with him know that he was more-a prince among men-always a friend in need.' No one who ever appealed to him for aid was turned down. His hand was almost continuously '.in his pocket and if a needy brother applied to- him for help when he himself was not in a position to respond he would borrow from a friend, to relieve the needs of a more unfortunate one who had come to him in the hour of diversity. The demands upon his income ceases only when he was carried from Cincinnati two years ago never to return.

SUGAR CUT PASSED.
RECIPROCITY BILL AMENDED TO
 ABOLISH DETRIMENTAL.

Democrats, Aided by Beet Sugar Re
 publicans, Spring Surprise on
 the House Leaders-Senate Passes
 Chinese ExcluHion Bin.
 The Democrats and the Republican insurgents rode rough shod over the house leaders on Friday when the vot- ing began on the Cuban reciprocity bill. They overthrow the ruling of the chair in committee of the whole on the question of the propriety of an amend ment to remove the differential from refined sugar during the existence of the reciprocity agreement provided for in the bill
 The vote to overrule the decision of the chair, made 6y MT. Sherman (N. HJ, was I'll to l30, Republicans to the number of thirty-se, en joining with a solid Democratic vote to accomplish this result. Having won this prelimi- nary victory, the amendment was adopted in committee-164 to 111-and later in the house by a still larger ma jority-199 to 105. On this occasion sixty-four Republicans voted with the |. bill then was passed by an overwhelm- ing majority-247 to 52.
 An analysis of the vote shows that 124 Republicans and 123 Democrats voted for the amended bill and forty two Republicans and ten Democrats against 1t. Mir. Grosvenor (Og was one of those who voted against the bill The voting on the bill was the culmina- tion of long struggle which began almost with the opening of this session of congress and after two weeks of con- tinuous debating, in which much bit terness was aroused.
 The drastic Chinese exclusion bill originally framed by the senators and representatives from the Pacific coast states met defeat in the senate on Wednesday, and in its place was sub- stituted a measure offered by MT. Platt Comp extending the provisions of the present exclusion law and also apply ing that exclusion to all insular terri tory under the jurisdiction of the Unit ed States. The vote by which the sub- stitute took the place of the original bill was 4S yeas to 33 nays. Once the substitution had been made all senators joined in it's support, with the single exception of Mir. Hoar. the substitute being passed-76 to 1. ..

 J. F. Morgan, who Is now abroad, has practically consunlmated plan 10 com bine all the leading transatlantic steamship lines. London dispatches an nouncing the combination have been confirmed at the Morgan banking house.
 The companies to be consolidated will, it is understood, include the Amer fcan and Red Star lines, White Star line, Dominion line, Atlantic Transport line and the Leyland line. The two last named lines have been under Morgan control for some time.
 The combination will have a capital of $170,OOO,O00 of which S60, 0,000,000 will be per cent cumulative preferred stock, $60, 0,OOO,OoG common stock and $50, 900 Az per cent debentures.

 As announced last week, the combi- nation will have an American charter, but those in authority decline to make known at this time the state in which the company will be incorporated.
 It is authoritatively stated that a working arrangement" has been made with the German lines-North German Lloyd and Hamburg -American-as a result of which the relations between the new combination and the German companies promise to be altogether har-

SCORES OF LIVES LOST.
Ohio River Steamboat Burns Up Nea,
 Cairo, III.

Ohto hhNeF StenmDOan VI NGar
 Cairo, III.
 Cairo, H., April 23.-One of the worst disasters in the history of the Ohio river navigation occurred early Sunday morning near Ogdens Landing. near this city. While almost all aboard were asleep the steamer City of Pitts burg was discovered to be on fire, and waters edge.
 Of the 145 people on the boat when 1t burned about one-half are still missing, and no further hope for them Is ex- pressed. The books and valuables of the boat, crew and passengers are still in the ruins. The wreck is above wa ter and still smoldering. Owing to the heated condition of the hull search for those cremated in it has not been be- gun, and very few of the bodies of those who are drowned have been re covered owing to the swift current at the scene of the Glsaster.
 At the cOroner's inquest nothing was developed as to the origin, cause or re- sponsibility for the disaster.
 Sensational reports have been circu- lated about an alleged quarrel between the officers of the steamer and the roustabouts and that the fire may have been of incendiary origin, but no ere dence is given to these reports.
 Many stories have been told by sur vivors of their thrilling experiences in escaping from the burning decks, and some of them are of a most startling character. The victims were from points along the Ohio valley, and they have left trail of bereavement from Pittsburg to the Mississippi.

Franklin Bell at Lipa, Ba- tangas province, with the entire in- surgent force of the provinces of La guna and Batangas. General Bell says his (BelPs) influence Is sufficient to quell the insurrectionary movements in Tayabas and Cavite provinces and capture all those in the field who have not yet surrendered. but Malvar has ordered. the complete surrender of ev- cry insurgent to the nearest American force. General Wheaton, reporting to the division headquarters, says that all resistance in his department has ended and that the surrenders just announced mean that the ports will be opened and that the Filipinos in the detention camps can be allowed to return to their homes in time to plant crops.

Putting His Foot In It.

Many different persons find the be- ginning of a conversation awkward, es- pecially on ceremonious occasions and with strangers. Sometimes, however, the beginning Is not half so awkward as what comes afterward.
 A bashful young man on being intro duced to lady at dinner party said:
 'I've got to take you in to dinner, Miss Travers, and Pm rather afraid of you, you know. Every one tells me you're very clever"
 The young lady was naturally anus ed by this display of simplicity.
 "How absurdr' she exclaimed. "I'm not a bit clever"
 The young man heaved a sigh of re- lief and answered.:
 Well, do you know, I thought you weren'tp'-New Yorker.
