JOHNSON FAVORS
GOTHAM BACKING
Is Willing to Give Syndicate
the New York Fran
chiSe.

CHICAGO, Feb. president john
son yesterday professed ignorance of
any new turn in the affairs of the
American league in New York, as in
Dictated by the reports from there to
the effect that a new syndicate was
in the field with a proposition to back
the new Gotham club. His informa-
ton on the subject was confined to the
newspaper reports and to dispatch
which he had received the night be-
fore from New York asking when he
could come to that city for a confer
ence with the would-be hackers.
This dispatch, he said, did not come
from SOmers or Kilfoyl, or any of the
American leagues agents there, but
from sympathiZer, and he had no
further idea of the identity of the syn
dictate than that published in the pa
pers. He had replied that he would
go to New York early in the week and
explained the change in his plans by
pointing out the past policy OF the
league to secure local backing in all
its cities whenever people acceptable
to the league could be found.
IF these capitalists wish to take the
franchise and carry on the undertake
ing along the same lines We have laid
out" said he, I'VE may be able to
do business with them. Our plans
there involve greater expense than is
usually put into a baseball plant on
account Of our intention to get the
best and to make a permanent invest
ment of it. Ever since we commenced
operations in New York we have been
more embarrassed than otherwise by
the number of people DESTROYS of back
ing club there. Some of them have
been nOn-residents, others have not
been acceptable to the club owners,
While some of our own members have
shown 4 disposition to want the club
for themselves. But it has always
been the American leagues policy to
prefer local backing whenever that
seemed to promise the best results for
the league and for the advancement

HOW THE SULTAN OF
MOROCCO GOT THERE
Won the Battle With Money as Well as
Bravery.

Bravery.
TANGIER, Morocco, Feb. 2.-The de-
tails of the sultans victory Thursday
over the forces of the pretender show
that the battle was stubbornIy con-
tested and that the formers success
was largely due to the cooperation at
critical moment Of the Benz Ourein
tribe, whose detection from the rebels
the sultan had previously purchased.
The artillery of the imperial forces
consisted of eight MaXims and four
Krupps. The sultan's troops opened
the attack early in the morning and
shortly afterward the pretenders camp
was assailed in the rear by the Benz
Oureins. In spite of the surprise and
disadvantages of position, the rebels
stubbornly maintained their ground
and desperate fighting continued three
hours.
The slaughter was very great. The
remnants of the rebel army then broke,
abandoned the camp and fled in the df-
rection of Tazab. The imperial troops
are pursuing the fugitives and if the
pretender is not among those dead, his
capture is certain.

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation of 100, 900 copies, a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for national paper devoted
TO the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review OF
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subscription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
81. so. The regular subscriptionprice ol
the two papers when subscribed for

Explanation Of Mr aae.

The atmospheric pheacmenon Cf
mirage has for us peculiarly fascin-
ating interest; but we are apt to asso-
ciate 1t with far-away deserts. Ac-
cordins to a remark made by Prof
Davis of Harvard in his new "Elo
mentary Physical Geography" this
phenomenon may be readily observed
under near-athand conditions. Davis
says that the equivalent OF a mirage
may often be seen by looking close
along a brick wall that is exposed to
strong sunlight in calm warm
weather. objects that are nearly in
line with the wall may be seen re-
fected on the film OF hot air next 10
