Scores an Easy Victory Over Interior

For the first time this season the
Treasury Department baseball team yes

Interior Department by a score Of u to

The game was full OF errors and bril-

The Interiors made errors at the critical

every direction They also were weak in
the pitching department. They made a
change in their battery in the third in

Standing Of the Teams.

The Statesmen were sc. discourteous
yesterday afternoon as to take the in
itiaI game from the New Cardinals. who
opened uo a series Of games here. Al
though it viii be hard for the average
reader to scan over these lines and be
lieve that the locals have finally bumped
themselves and won another game.
nevertheless it IS true It took ten in
nings, OF the best part Of them. TO de-
eide the game The visitors made a
good fight for the game, and it was in
deed a hard one to lose. It was their
initial appearance in the East. and

show just about how much chance each
team had of winning the siIken rag

THE news comes from Washington that the house committee on public lands has decided that there will be no legislation in the present congress reg ulating the leasing of public land for grazing purposes. The bill introduced early in the session by Congressman Bowersock of Kansas was indorsed by the National Live Stock Association at their meeting in Chicago in December, and its introduction was followed by protests from every state in the union
 in which there are public lands. The smaller stockmen and the owners of homesteads have been very emphatic in their opposition to the measure, as-

THE house committee on public lands ordered favorable report upon the bill authorizing the secretary of the inte- rior to secure possession by condemna- ton of the "big tree" forest in Cali fornia. The owner of the property has been negotiating with the interior de- partment for number of years look
 ing to the sale of the "big tree" re- serve to the government. The secre- tary of the interior has been unable to secure the possession of the property
 on favorable terms, and it is now pro- posed to resort to condemnation pro- ceedings to secure possession for the government of the property.

THE profits of the match trust last

THE profits of the match trust last year were s2,0OO,OOO. No one begrudges this, as the Diamond Match Company has given perfect products and at a ridiculously small cost, especially when we consider that it has not been very long since it was necessary to borrow fire in the households of America. The match trust keeps its hold on the mar ket, and must do so, by giving the best it can make and at the lowest possible price. This is necessary because the patents on which the matchmaking industry is based are about to expire ill all countries where the company has its factories.

Ac- ton by congress was required, as the laws of Arizona prohibit such appropri- ations without congressional aid.

IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS
The Philippine Tariff Discussion Continues to
Be a Matter Of Great Interest.
SENATE.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Fora
ker offered an amendment to the Hhil-
ippine tariff bill providing that the rate
of duty on Philippine products coming
into the United States shall be 25 per
cent of the Dingley rates. The commit
tee on the bill provided a IS per cent
rate.
Hale presented a partial conference
report on the urgent deficiency appro-
priation bill. He explained that an
agreement had been reached upon all
contested items except those relating
to the reimbursement of the Mexican
government for money paid and to
the payment of certain state claims for
money advanced during the civil war
The report agreed to, and another con-
ference was ordered. The senate passed
a bill appropriating $50O,OOO for the erec-
tion of public building at Spokane
Wash.
Consideration of the Philippine tar
iff bill was resumed.
Turner, Washington, continued his
speech. He pointed out that on Janu-
ary 81, 1899, the Filipinos established
republic, and under that government
peace and order were maintained.

REVOLUTION
IN VENEZUELA
The Rebels Are Making Startling Hsadway in

GEN. ANDRADE EMBARKED
The Insurgents Have Taken Possession Of the Village
Cumarsbo-A Venezuelan Gunboat Was Badly
Damaged By the Rebel Ship, Ell lIbertadoo-
Tho Revolution Gaining Ground.

Willemstad, Feb. 1O.-General An
drade, former president of Venezuela
who reached this island recently, en-
barked on the revolutionary steamer
Libertador during the night of Feb.
T. The Libertador some days ago land
ed insurgents on the Venezuelan coast
who subsequently took possession of
the village of Cumarebo. situated near
La Vela de Coro. The Venezuelan gun
boat General Crespo, which attempted
to prevent the landing, was fired upon
and badly damaged by the Libertador.
The success of the Libertador caused a
sensation at Caracas, where great
commotiOn prevails. The news from
the interior of Venezuela is not favora-
bic to the government. The insurgents
are very active in the vicinity of Bar
quisimeto. The revolution against Pres
ident Castro is gaining ground visbly.
Cannonading has been heard from ear
ly morning in the direction of the Ven
ezuelan coast. 1t is believed the Lib
ertador has been engaged with an
other Venezuelan gunboat. 1t is as
serted the Crespo sank in the roadstead
of CumarebO
