II the senate is convened in extra

Der, as is now officially declared
to be the presidents intention. the
most important matter taken up will
be the treaty between the United
States and Colombia, securing the
right OF way and other guarantees for
the isthmian canal. The president is
said to be even more interested in an
early beginning of actual work on the
great canal than in Cuban reciprocity.

William D. Foulke, United States
civil service commissioners, is en-
gagged in codifying and revising the
rules and regulations Of the OWL SER
vice commission. Chief of the new
rules which Commissioner Foulke
has suggested is devised to back up
the order of President Roosevelt of
July 8, which was intended to pre-
vent the use Of political influence in
behalf OF government employees de-
string promotions. Commissioners
Fioulke's proposed rule states that

shall attempt to procure political re-
commentators shall be dropped from
the list of eligibles. -
The action of the Cuban house of
representatives in voting that none of
the fort1 esses or arsenals of the Gu
ban republic could be leased or sold
by that government has no bearing
upon any contemplated action of the
United States in regard to this prop
erty. While the United States, with
an artillery force, is occupying some
portions of Cuba now, it is not the
intention to have this force remain
permanently, and it is acting in tie
capacity Of instructor to Cuban
troops. as we'll as for the purpose Of
assisting the Cuban governm snt
should we'll trained force be needed.
There still continues to be mani-
tested among public men curiosity as
to the details Of the proposed Cuban
treaty. The instrument has been
guarded from the public with the
greatest care and nothing can be
learned from an authoritative source
as to the extent of the proposed re-
duction on Cuban imports into the
United States or the compromising
advantages to be provided for the
United States. There is report to
the effect that the .Oubans want at
least 80 per cent reduction, and that
President Roosevelt's advisers were
inclined to agree to the representa-
tiops of the Cuban minister.

WILMINGTON "a
R0XB0R0UGH 5

A farce baseball game was played
at Front and Union yesterday af-
ternoon between Wilmington and
Roxborough which resulted in vic
tory for the home team by the score
of "a to5.
Such poor exhibition of base
ball playing would be hard to find
and many of the spectators left the
grounds before the game was more
than half over.
The principal cause of the poor
showing of such a fast team
as Roxborough was that McGam-
we'll their crack first baseman and
Lipp another player did not put in
appearance. This caused general
shifting in positions and when it
was time to start it was found that
the visitors were still shy one play
or. Denny Kenny once pitcher was
sent out to right field. 1t was the
first time that Denny has played
ball for some time and so there
is some excuse for him. Denny
could not judge fly balls and Rox-
borough's csntrefielder did most Of
the work in both fields.
Roxbororgh went up in the air in
the fourth inning. the first three
men up in this inning should have
been easy outs but for two bad er-
rols by Nyce. Loos up until this
time had pitched q good game, but
the poor support he was receiving
evidently disgusted him for the re-
mainder of the game he made no
effort whatever to pitch and conse-
quently the locals fattened their
batting averages. The fielding of
Roxborough was but little worse
than the home team who made
about six unexcused errors.
Diggans let two foul flys fall with
in two yards of him without touch
ing them and his throwing to sec
ond was very poor. Mullin and
Wiegan let fly drop between them
while Ibusy engaged in looking at
each other and Campbell missedan
easy chance which allowed runner
to get to third. Other errors were
made by Schultz, Wiegand and Tier
