REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINE.
American Goods Are in Great De.
mand.

New York, July 3O.-Dr. D. Mayer,
United States consul at Buenos Ayres,
Argentine republic, who is in this
city, declares Argentine is the best
republic in South America. Trade
with the United States from my dis
trict," he said, sis increasing daily.
There is nothing that you can buy in
New York that you can't buy in
Buenos Ayres. The only difference
is in the price. Buenos Ayres being
one of the most expensive cities in
the world to live in. This is due to
the fact that Argentine is not a man.
ufacturing country and everything
outside of native products is imported.
The main industry is raising okat,
sheep and wheat. In order to increase
trade between the United States and
Argentine we must have a direct
steamship service connection be-
tween New York and Buenos Ayres.
In fact the Argentine is ready to meet
us nall way, by paying a subsidy from
100000 to 100000 a year to such an
enterprise. The Argentine people
themselves prefer American goods to
all others on account of superior work
manship and finish. For instance, rs
per cent of all the machinery for farm
ing and other industries comes from
American manufacturers. Dry goods
fer the most part are imported from
France, England and Italy. There is
no reason why we should not have
that trade. The people of the repub-
lie are Industrious and progressive
and are kindly disposed toward Amer
leans and American products.

Result of Spotter Work.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 23.-Two
prominent joints on Minnesota avenue
were raided by Sheriff Mendenhall and
deputies. The officers were given search
and seizure warrants, issued by County
Attorney E. A. Enright. The warrants
were sworn to by M. H. Johnson, q
member of the prohibition element In
Wyandotte county, and the saloon men
affected are William Estep, who has p
place at 628 Minnesota avenue, and Pete
Hopkins, whose place of business is at
504 Minnesota avenue. The joints were
raided about 2 o'clock yesterday AFTER
noon. An hour later the news had
spraed all over town, also the report that
forty additional warrants had been is
sued. As consequence, cash registers
were removed, the bars were cleared,
WHISTLES and wines were stored in other
buildings and the coming of the sheriff
was awaited with anxiety. But the
sheriff didn't come. and it Is said that
there were no grounds for the rumor.
county. Attorney Enright said that
crowd of about fifteen prOhibitiOnists.
headed by Rev. J. A. Motter, called on
him and asked that the warrants be is
sued. The men said that agents had
gone into the joints mentioned and had
purchased beer. Upon this information
and in view of their demands. Mr.. En-
right readily agreed to issue the war
rants.
Pete Hopkins had a tip that the sheriff
was to visit his place. for he had re-
Ger of the law made his appearance. The
fixtures and remaining liquor were
seized, however, and, according to the
provisions of the Hurrel search and
seizure law, they cannot be replevined.
Whether there is any special signif1-
canoe in yesterdays raid is a question
of doubt. Rev. Mr.. Motter said last
night that he didn't know whether there
would be any more raids. County At
torney Enright said he was quite sure
that no more warrants had been issued.
What the temperance people intend to
do, however," he said, lis a mystery to
me- If they come to me and ask for
warrants, 1 can only do my duty and
grant their requests
M. II. johnson, who swore to fho "ns,--
plants, has a personal grievance
against Pete Hopkins. On July there
was a picnic at Praun's grove, west of
Kansas City. Kan Liquors were sold.
and people living in the vicinity, john
son among them, attempted to stop the
sale of the illicit goods. 1t is said that
on that occasion Hopkins assaulted
johnson.
An effort was made last night to re-
pelvin the bar fixtures of Estep and
Hopkins, but Sheriff Mendenhall refused
to recognize the orders. The papers
were issued in the North city court. The
Hurrel law stipulates that bar fixtures.
as well as liquors, seized in raid, can
not be returned. The jointkeepers say
that a suit will be brought to test the
validity Of the Hurrel law.

mates. who will draw nearly or equal
amounts
In the days OF the old American assoc
citation, back in SO, Boston entered into
one of the most daring baseball deals
known to the history of the game even
today, when ths triumvfrate paid $4,000
for the sale of the release OF Mike Kelly
by the Chicago club. This deal, gigantic
as it was for one player. was beaten
two years later when Bob Carruthers
was sold by Chris Won der Abe of the
st. Louis Browns to the Brooklyn club,
the magnificent sum OF $14,250. This
record for the sale Of players is still
unique in baseball lore.
Carruthers was then attached to
COmiskey's twirltng stan and had been
the mainstay of the Browns for the
three seasons when they won the PEN
nant In the association. Then the
Brooklyn club determined to get into
President Won der Abe for some of his
stars, among them Carruthers. When
the deal was finished the sum of IS, ESQ
in cash was paid for the sale of the re-
lease Of the pitcher and a bonus of ST.
500 was paid him for signing with the
eastern team. as well as salary Of
$4,000 for the season being given him.
In addition to this it cost Brooklyn $500
additional salary to carry out the deal,
making a total OF $14,250 expended In
securing this star.
The Boston Kelly deal, which created
a great stir at the time and is remem-
bered by every old-time fan in the
country as one OF the great events and
landmarks of the game. cost Boston
the sum of $780, 900, simply for the release
of the player. Then g. salary Of a, 900
was guaranteed him for the season.
making the total Of 1900.
While the Brooklyn club was strength
ening, with the purpose OF so weaken
ing the Browns that the pennant would
go east the following year. they per-
suaded Won der Abe to part with a
couple more of his stars for goodly
sums, Dave Foutz being sold for S., 500
and Bushong going for $500 less. Not
w1thstanding this depletion of the ranks
OF the stars among the Browns, the
pennant was again and the fourth time
won by Comiskey's aggregation. The
'Old Roman has in his six years or
baseball been the leader of six cham

lean association and twice in the Amer.
