The Baseball.

Following is the New Mexican ac.
count of the baseball game briefly
mentioned by The Optic yesterday.
The Antonito baseball team, which
came to the capital city yesterday ac-
companied by upwards Of 400 rooters,
to cross bats on the diamond at the
college grounds, with their rivals, the
Santa Fe Centrals, returned home last
evening with their colors trailing in
the dust, for the Santa Fe Centrals
had not only taken the game from
them, but had rolled up a score OF
IL to s.
Charles Rhodes pitched for the San
ia Fe Centrals, while George Parsons
was in the catcher's place. Both made
home runs, the only ones made during
the game. William Parsons at second
base, by quick and accurate playing
put out q number Of the visitors on
his vantage ground. The game was
an exciting one, but the visitors were
decidedly ~outclassed, and the Santa
Fe Centrals got away with Fettis, the
pitcher for the Antonito team. The
twelve runs made by the Santa Fe
Centrals were pretty evenly distrib.
uted.
The personnel Of the Santa Fe Cen
trail team, which will go to Antonito
next Sunday to play a return game is
as follows: Charles Rhodes. pitcher:
George Parsons. catcher; Oswald Dig
neo, first base; William Parsons. sec
ond base; Lynn Shirk. third base:
Peter Samosa. short stop; America
Digneo, left field; Charles Catron,
center field. and Manuel Alarid, right
field.

The Scenic Route.

The New Mexican. speaking OF the
Scenic Route, says:
Saturday the camp was moved
about 500 yards from the site hereto.
fore occupied in a due easterly direc-
ton and directly up the mountain,
so as TO give the conyicts a better
chance to get to and return from
work. One mile Of the road to the
Dalton divide has been completed,
bridges finished and all, and another
mile Is plowed. graded and ready for
the pick and spade. Very little rock
has been encountered and but a small
amount Of blasting has been e.
sary. There are three guards and
thirty-nine convicts in the camp, one
man has been discharged today by
expiration Of term of Imprisonment.
The present camp is what is called
the winter camp and is being fixed up
SO as to withstand the rigors OF the
coming winter. 1t Is being put In
very good shape and when completed
will consist Of five tents, four log
shanties for sleeping apartments, a
mess shanty, wash-house and corral.
The water supply is very good, a
strong mountain spring bubbling out
Of the side Of the mountain and fur
nishing an abundant supply OF pure
water. The location Is about half the
distance between the Macho trail and
the Dalton trail. about a mile and a
half from the Dalton divide. Mr.. Nc
Elroy is OF the opinion that the Dalton
divide will be reached by about the
first Of November and that, unless
very sever winter weather sets in,
construction work will be completed
by that time.

MILITARY INSTITUTE.
Prospects For Best Season in the His
tory of New Mexico's Cadet School.

-
Every in the New Mexico
Military Institute barracks is occupied
and many applicants are being refused
admission. It is the policy Of the
school not to over crowd and only two
cadets are placed in a room, except
in a few large ones, and only three
are put in those. Students have been
received from all parts Of the union,
and. as the demand for admission was
great even before school opened, great
care was taken in selecting the older
and better advanced. students, which
fact gives the institute as a whole a
better class of students than hereto
fore.
The classes have been arranged
and all is moving along with great
smoothness. The old cadets returned
from their summer furlough and i'm
mediately upon reporting for duty
took up the work where they had left
off last spring, going right ahead as Y
there had been a break.
Major L. Martini-Mancini has open
ed a book store for the institute and
is furnishing cadets with their books,
stationery, etc, at actual cost, which
will prove a great saving to the pa.
irons Of the school, as well as being a
| great convenience to both cadets and
officers.
The mess hall has been enlarged SO
as to seat the entire corps at n
time, and even though there are many
more students this session all are well
provided for and given the best that
can be obtained.
The military department is making
wonderful advancement under the
command Of Major Wright, the new
commandant. The cadets are now
drilling in companies and before an
other week they will be giving battal-
ion parades headed by the Cadet band
Of twenty pieces. The battalion is d.
vided into three companies and the
officers for the same are as given by
the following order published before
the cadets September IS, 1903.

Tammany and the Presidency.

If Tammany sweeps New York city next
month will it endeavor to nominate George
B. Mcclellan for President next year? Its
argument in the present race is that demo-
cratic national success is impossible with
out New York state and that New York
city must be depended upon to carry the
state. There is some friction growing out
of the booms of Mr.. Hill and Judge Parker.
Would Mr.. Mcclellan be accepted as COM
promise man? Could Tammany bring for
ward it's young mayor flushed with victory.
and make an impression with the statement
that he is the man for the emergency?
Mr.. Mcclellan Is a young man even for
the office he now seeks. But at thirty-eight
he has served eight years in Congress-four
more years there than Mr.. Bryan had served
when he was nominated for President. Like
Mr.. Bryan, he has had a brief experience
both as lawyer and newspaper writer. I'm
like Mr.. Bryan, he is not an orator. But he
speaks very WELL and has q gift for poll
tics. He is good-looking, a good mixer,
and personally clean and attractive. The
one black mark against him is his intimate
association with Richard Croker. But with
out Mr.. Cookers aid he could not of course
have made his way in New York politics.
Mr.. Mcclellan was regular both in 1896
ana I@D Dut cut no important inquire IN
either campaign. He was probably not a
free silver man. His associations, personal
and political, were all on the other side of
the question. While his colleague, Mr.. Sui
yer, was making the welkin ring for Bryan
and the people, Mr.. Mcclellan was shaking
hands with his constituents, resisting the
efforts of the newspaper interviewers to
draw him out on the money issue, and gem
orally steering safe and silent course. He
kept within the party traces and kept his
seat in Congress. He was joked a little
about being a smooth young man, but
accepted it good-naturedly and went his
way
AS an evidence Of his mixing qualities, it
may be mentioned that Mr.. Mcclellan Is on
pleasant terms with Mr.. Cleveland Mr.. Hill,
Richard Croker and Charles F. Murphy.
He is in touch with all the factions of his
party. and is expected to work them all
for party success in the present campaign.
If he accomplishes that. and is elected, can
he hope to work them again next year
in the national campaign?

The Piano Pest"

Germ scholars. philosophers and sceu-
lists are greatly agitated just now in an

the piano pest with which it appears

within range float the sounds of practicing

also indicted, but the piano is the chief
offender. 1t would appear as IL every young
girl III Germany were being taught TO play
this instrument. and so seriously distressed
are the savants and other lovers of quiet

Utilizing Africa's Great Cataract.

The other day The Star. in commenting
upon the failure of the Lake Superior indus
trial combination as q result of bad finan-
cial management, noted that even were the
water power of the great Victoria Falls in
Central Africa harnessed to the needs of
man its almost limtless possibilities would
not warrant unchecked optimism on the
part of it's owners. There would still be
urgent need OF strict economy in admins
tration. and. above all, steady market for
the wares produced by means Of this power.
Already word comes that active steps have
been taken toward Harvesting this same
waterfall to the wheels of industry. The
representatives of corporation which has
been granted broad charters in Rhodesia,
including the right to utilize the Victoria
Falls, are about to sail for this country for
the purpose of studying the methods which
have been employed at Niagara in the utili-
zation of the power of that cataract. The
company proposes to develop the iron and
coal fields which lie in close reach of the
power center Within seventy miles there
exists a coal field which, 1t Is stated. Is
probably one Of the richest and largest In
the world. while iron deposits abound with
in an economical range 1t is estimated that
