MAY COACH
THE NAVY
Although II Is Stated That Yost win
Remain in Michigan Another Year,
on Account of Minnisota's
Claim.

Since Yost's signal victory over Chi
cago, it has been widely circulated that
he has received an offer of $500 to coach
the navy, and sum equally large by
Pennsylvania. He will remain in Mich.
gan another year. Some of the football
sharps have said that Minnesota has a
claim Ito the Western championship as
good as Michigan's. This in itself is
about enough to keep "Huwy up there
for another year.
In this connection the Chicago Record
Herald says: "a contest among the
coaches has been as close, rs hard fought
and almost as interesting to the general
public this year as that between the
various colleges. Hurry Up" Yost, still
unbsatcn, and tied but once in three
years, is at the head Of the procession
and many critics of authority have gone
50 far as TO call him the greatest coach
in the entire country"
1t Is not likely that the Michigan team
will so to the coast for a New Years
game.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
The Cuban Bill Signed.

The President signed the Cuban rcci-
procity bill 1t passed the Senate by
vote OF 81 to ls.
The bill was taken to the White
House by Representative Frank
Wachter, chairman OF the House Com
mittee OH Enrolled Bills. Mr.. Wachter
also took with him gold pen with
which the measure had been signed by
Speaker Cannon and Senator Frye,
president pro tempore OF the Senate.
With the same pen, the President aifix-
ed his signature to the bill, thus maxi
ing it law. The pen was furnished
by Minister Quesada OF Cuba, and to
him it will be returned.
Present, besides the President, at the
time OF the signing OF the measure,
were Secretary Loeb, William Barnes,
Jr,, editor OF the Albany New York;
Journal; Representative Wachter and
Justice James A. Fcch:ig OF Balti-
more.
Now that the bill has become a law,
a question OF great interest has arisen
namely, the effect OF the reduction
OF the duty on Cuban sugar upon inn
portations OF sugar from other coun-
tries. The British Government has
served formal notice upon the State
Department that under the favored ma
tion clause it expects that British sugar
from the British West Indies shall be
admitted into the United States on
equal terms with Cuban sugar, and it
is not doubted that Germany, France,
Austria and the other great beet-sugar-
producing countries will do likewise.
An old holding OF Attorney General
Olney in President Cleveland Admin
istration was adverse to such demands,
but the question promises to be reop-
ened with vigor.
