Judge Eugene S. Elliott, ex-president of
the American Whist League, died very sud-
denly last week in the rooms Of the Mil
Waukee Whist Club. He had just complet-
ed playing hand at whist and was dis
cussing the cards when he fell from his
chair and expired Apoplexy was the cause
of his death. Judge Elliott was the orig
inator, founder and father of the American
Whist League and was perhaps the best
known and most popular follower Of the
silent game in this country
The match on Saturday at Racine, Wis,
Tor the challenge trophy Of the American
Whist League was played by the following:
Horlick Whist Club of Racine, Wis, hold
er-W. II. Carpenter, captain; w. c. Palm
er, A. F. Gates and H. G. Smieding.
Minneapolis Chess and Whist Club, chal-
lenger-O. II. Briggs. captain; E. A. Mont
gomery. ]. H. Hemphill and w. A. Kerr.
Inc result was a victory for the Minne-
apolis experts. They gained eight singles,
a total of % tricks and lost nine singles
and five doubles, a total of 10, Minneapolis
winning by three tricks. The match was
closer than anybody expected and at the
end of the first half Horlick was two tricks
In the lead. But on the very first deal after
dinner Minneapolis took the lead by gain
ing three tricks. This gain was soon fol-
lowed by another of three and then one of
four, and Horlick could not recover the
lost ground, though the team made a nervy
finish. This was the twelfth victory for
Minneapolis, but the western season will
close February 1, before the quota of twen-
ty victories can be completed. So Mime
apolis cannot possibly get permanent pos
session OF the trophy this season.

NEWS IN WHIST CIRCLES

The Golden Eagle bowling team continued
the run of good work recently developed
by defeating the Y. M. C. A. team two out
of three games last night. The series was
one of the best bowled in the league for
some time, both sides putting up fine ar
ticle of ten pins, the Eagles twice pass
ing the 900 score. THE Golden Eagle alleys,
where the match was played, had not ade-
quate seating capacity for the large ag-
gregation Of bowling enthusiasts who were
on hand to see the games.
Again was the high individual record
broken, Ludwig excelling Stitt's 237. made
on the same alleys ten days ago. by one
pin. The high score record has mounted
by rapid strides this year and the impress
sion has gone forth that with 23S bowIed
at the third of the way mark on the sched-
ule. 253 may be reached by the end Of the
season. Bowlers should put forth every
effort to do this, as it would reflect great
credit on the league as we'll as on the
player making the score. Brandt and
Brown also bowled well for the home team,
Cott having one poor game followed by two
unusually good ones Stitt bowled below
his average. The Y. NJ. c. A. work was
best done by last years contingent, Krauss,
Eiker and Miller these bowlers playing in
championship from throughout. Pearson
bowled fairly, but Barclay weakened the
teapl in two games, and then retired in IA
yor of Webb, who bowled in the final. His
score was no Improvement.
While both side made big scores in the
opening game it was practically the Eagles
property throughout. The Y. NJ. C. A. made
a poor start, securing but 20 pins In the
first frame, and were never able to head
their opponents. In spite of the fine score
made by the giles the team had but two
clean frames, no breaks occurring in the
fifth and seventh. The score follows:

Ex-Secretary Gage Is still endeavor- ing to dictate the financial policy of the nation and called at the White House recently with John H. Rhodes, the New York ifinancier, with the pur- pose of impressing his views on the president. Meanwhile, Representative Fowler is pressing his revised financial bill for passage in the house. it having been again favorably reported by MT Fowler's committee. This bill will greatly extend the power of the banks, enabling them to issue currency to the amount of D per cent of their capital without depositlng United States bonds as security therefor. Face to face with the old democratic contention that the currency of the country is restricted and inelastic, the bankers desire to remedy these defects, but in such a way that they shall have entire con- trol of the elasticity SO that it may be restricted whenever 1t suits their pur- poses, and that is the aim of Mir Fow- Ier's bill, which, it will be remembered, the republicans did not dare, to pass at the last session because they feared the resentment of the people would be ex- pressed at the polls. @ . ..'.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER "A, 1902.


General Bliss has brought from Ha- vana the completed treaty with Cuba, and it has been forwarded to the sen ate, as negotiated by him. There will be no consideration of the treaty, how ever, until after the holidays, when It will be taken up by the senate com mittee on foreign relations. There It will meet with serious obstacle in the long mooted question as to whether the executive and the senate can erect a treaty which modifies the tariff w1th- out the consent of the house. rms question, which has confoundeda the best constitutional lawyers ever since Washington sent Jays treaty to the senate in 1795, has never been settled and may not be in this instance, al though there are several members of the committee who desire to see 1t fought out and settled once and Tor all tfme. Both houses are involved and the controversy promises to be an h. teresting one. The provisions of the treaty are in exact accord with the forecast made some weeks ago.

It is reported that the Stock ex- change is going to be more exclusive when it gets into its new building. Ad- mission to the public gallery will be by card only. Any member may issue cards, but he will be held personally responsible for the visitors he sends to the gallery. Members generally commend the new restrictions. In the old gallery the attendants were ex- pected to stop men who looked like cranks, but the cranks, sometimes, got by. Two winters aga a man threw his watch and some money from the gal lery onto the floor, yelling as he did it that 1t must be hard winter for the brokers and he wanted to help them out. Then he went over. to the sub- treasury and wrapped his coat around the legs of the big bronze statue of George Washington. It would be an easy matter for a crank to do some thing really serious from the gallery. The assassination of the late President Mckinley gave timid brokers scare, and they agreed then that admission to the gallery of the new building should be in some manner restricted.
