BIAS e BALL.
Seventeen to Six Was the Way the Old
Town Tigers Trouneed the Browns
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday AFTERNOON.
The Old Town Tigers wiped and
busted the earth with the Browns at
the fair grounds yesterday afternoon
to the tune of II to 6.
One or two good reasons can be of.
fered for the lack of good playing on
the part of some of the Browns. In
the first place, the team has not played
for several weeks. and that also can
be said of the Tigers. Then again a
discord was noticed. No pitcher, 10
matter how good he is. can pitch good
ball when he's nagged to death by an
other player, who constantly finds
fault with him and tells him he's paid
for it. and a lot of other stuff. Be-
sides. this same first baseman made
some awful errors and should have
been sent to the bench. The scribe
understands that no player has any
right to question decisions, open his
mouth to tell players what to do or
find fault with the captain. Captain
Worries. it is up to you to enfore this
rule. Dirty ball playing should be
stopped.
The spectators. the ball players and
the band boys, all we're heated up by
Oil Sol. Milwaukee Charlie or the Ia
dies favorite put up a pretty good all
rcrnd game, and put life into it, too.
He had to drop one nice fly, but il all
had played as well as Milwaukee Char
lie the score would have been a good
GCal smaller.
Billy Berry had a nice blackboard
nailed up on the judges atsnd and at
the end of every inning put up the
score. This was appreciated by the
spectators, and is another testimony
of Billy's thoughtfulness of his pa
irons. Wilson hurt his thumb during
the game and had to retire. Willie
Brown, Pettes, Chaves, Daniel of the
Tigers, Willie Neher, Kunz and Helwig
did good ball playing, and Umpire
Wynkoop officiated to the satisfaction
of all. The score by inning:
Tigers ........4 0 3 0 l 2 4 0 3-17
Browns ........1 l 2 0 0 2 . 0 O.

The big steel draw of the Lackawanna

be rasorted to.
When the draw was opened yesterday
there was some difficulty in completely

CUBA TO SHOW BAD FAITH?
CHARGE THAT NEW TARIFF PLAN
AFFECTS RECIPROCITY TREATY.
SenOr Bustamente warns the Senate That
the United states Would Have the Right
to Repudiate the Treaty-EnOrmOus
Increase In the Rates Is Proposed.
Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.

Special cable Despatch TO THE sun.
HAVANA, Dec. 24.-The debate on tariff
reform was continued in the Senate to-day.
Senior Bustamente attacked the plan pro-
posed, which il still kept secret, on the
ground that it suppressed some paragraphs
referred to in the reciprocity treaty with
the United States and would therefore
entitle the United States to repudate the
con vention because the benefits which it
ought to get under the treaty would not be
obtained Cuba would thus be exposed
to diplomatic snub from the United
States.
Moreover, the plan provided for an
exorbitant increase in the duties on some
products. The tariff on rice, for instance,
was increased 1856 per cent. on maize, 900,
on vehicles, l2t; on bottled beer SO; on
cider, 1873, on mineral waters, 1852; on cut
lery, IS, and on surgical Instruments, a2
per cent, as compared with the present
tariffs. Such duties, Senior Bustamente
contended. would shut out European com
petition and greatly increase the cost to the
consumer. aiorty of the increased
duties were on articles of general con-
sumption, which would increase the cost of
living.
tariff had been made by the Americans
with the idea of increasing tho volume of
American trade of providing for the cost
of the Government of Intervention, and of
reviving the industries of Cuba 1t
had succeeded admirably for tho last two
wears, as the customs receipts had been
good and the condition of the country had
been improved. The new plan had been
made with the idea of obtaining revenue
of slsOOO, 900. whereas it should give $2s.-
600 900, az the rates were so high.
Sehor Silva replied that the rates ap-
peared high because Senior Bustamente
had selected them arbitrarily, but, though
the percentage of increase in some cases
was apparently high, the present tariff,
on which the increases were based, was
very low. The plan proposed an average
increase Of 80 per cent, whereas the tariff
of 1897 averaged an increase Of 371a per cent
He denied that the reciprocity treaty had
not been regarded in preparing the plan,
and said that it had been respecte ed in every
detail He contencled that the lowering
of duties during the intervention had not
benefited the consumer, prices remaining
the same.
Sefior Recio said that the reciprocity
treaty placed Cuba in dilemma. She had
either to face a reduction in her revenues
or expel European trade by raising the
duties.

MOODY MERRILL DIES SUDDENLY
Fled From Boston and Lived HOnOrably In
New Mexico as Col. Grays0n.


DENVER, Dec. 24-Moody Merrill, who
was known in New Mexico and the West
as Col. Charles F. Grayson, died suddenly
this morning at Silver City. N. NJ, Of pneu-
mona. He was formerly president of the
Silver City National Bank and during his
nine years residence in the Territory was
interested in mining. He also took up and
ably handled several large financial PROPOSE
tions in the way of re funding indebtedness

esteemed. The n ews that he was using
an alias and his indictment in Boston created
great sensation throughout New Mexico.

ten years he lived in Silver City under the

AT one time Merrill was worth 81 600 600,
but when he came back to Boston last May
he said that he had exhausted all his re.
sources in sending $4,000 to pay some old
claims in Boston. He made and lost many
fortunes.
Merrills greatest achievement, while
member of the Legislature, was the aboli-
ton of the old State constabulary. He ex-
posed the corruption of that organization
40 successfully that the bill abolishing the
force was passed over the Governors veto.
Last spring he was arrested in New York
and was brought back to Boston TO face
an indictment of emhezzling $l2,OOO from
Mrs. Sarah Cohen. He was released on
