cent State campaigns are preparing to ad-
dress the country, through the medium or
the Congressional Record, on the tariff.
Cuban reciprocity, the postal scandal, and
other questions of paramount" Importance.
Senator Morgan has prepared few re-
marks on the isthmian canal project Re
cent developments in Panama mean the
construction of a canal without the delay
that was anticipated a few days ago, and
negotiations have already been initiated
with the new republic, il is understood
to begin the actual work of construction.
But this will not deter Senator Morgan
from talking about the isthmian canal. He
is capable of discussing this subject Tor
weeks and even months, without the slight
est inconvenience to himself, as was demon
strated in the last Congress.
XXX
1t is known that Senator German of Mary
land, who will be the leader of the minor
ity in the Senate. favored the speedy rati-
fication Of the Cuban treaty last year.
Whether ne has changed his mind since
then remains to be seen. Just now the
Maryland man is being pushed forward
so strenuousy for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination that his every move
ment will be carefully watched and criti-
cised by his opponents. The Republican
senators do not seem to fear any extended
discussion of the tariff, and should German
be nominated for the presidency, they say
they would not shrink from having the
tariff made the principal issue of the cam
paign. Senator Germans tariff views are
well understood; also his position with re-
gard to the great financial interests of
the country. He is exceedingly friendly to
the corporations and the Republican sena-
tors say that the only way the tariff can
be made an issue is through the trusts;
in other words. on the ground that the
tariff gives special protection to certain
of the great combinations. They do not
think Senator German would care to make
this an issue. AT any rate, the Republi-
can leaders who are here now do not anti
cipate any tariff legislation during the
coming session. JOHN K. MONK.

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

Judge Hines is undoubtedly one of the
best mudders the turf has ever known.
The beauty about the Judge is that weight
appears to have no terrorS for him.
Jockey T. Burns announced Monday that
he had married Mrs. Richard Clawson last
spring at Washington, but had kept the
matter a secret because his contract with
w. C. Whitney stipulated that Burns must
remain single. Mrs. Clawson is the daugh-
ter of James Mclaughlin, the well-known
trainer.

thing, and confidence in ones own powers
is another. and Is just as important. The
player with the swelled head may not be
the best fellow in the world to know per-
sonally, but If he has the physical qualif-
cations he will be great ball player, while
some good-souled but diffident chap who
is just as strong and speedy is going back,

Self-confidence, even TO the point of ego
tism, counts tremendously in the national
game, and, for that matter, in any athletic
sport. The player who firmly believes in
his own heart that he can hit that ball.
and who regards any catch made OF his
bat as an accident and an astounding oc-
currence is going TO swat somewhere
around 800 all the time, while the half
apologetic player who feels that there are
lots of better batters on the team is going
to depart to the minor leagues with per-
centage of Jap. Some men are stars in the
minors. and no good at all in the bigger
organizations. In most cases these men
fail because they feel embarrassed and
awestruck in the presence OF the mighty
veterans around them.

in a Heavy Gale.
ASTORIA. Ore, Nov. S.-The steamer
Charles Nelson, which departed from AS
toria on Nov. for San Francisco, became
waterlogged off Hecla Head, 200 miles down
the coast from this port, and was aban-
doned by her passengers and crew.
The trouble resulted from the working of
her deckload of lumber in a terrific gale
encountered off the Oregon coast. The
stanchions, which held the deckload in
place, were carried away, opening seams in
the deck. Heavy seas washed over the
vessel and her hold soon filled.
After four hours of incessant labor,
fraught with grave danger and hardship
the thirty-six persons on board, who had
suffered intensely from a constant drench-
ing, were taken in the Nelson boats to safe
ty aboard the Titania, which proceeded
south on her voyage to San Francisco.

A story is handed down from some
pioneer settler that the Harpes buried
an immense amount of their stolen
treasure near their stone habitation,
and many persons have searched for il
in vain. During recent years roman
tic stories Of the buried treasure have
been set afioat in the neighborhood
and an effort to locate il has been
made.
The old stone house was once a reg
