"ciney" Strong Everywhere.

Cincinnati is strong in every depart
ment. The pitchers are as likely an ag-
gregation as is controlled by any team
in the country, save, perhaps, the Bos-
ton Americans. The Bostonians have a
remarkably effective trio in Cy Young,
Billy Dineen and Jesse Tannehill who
are ably supported by that rising twirler,
Norman Gibson. Cincinnati has Ewing,
Noodles Hahn, Harper, Elliott, Wal
ker and Kellum. Ewing, Hahn and
Harper are the bright particular stars.
1t is upon them that irascible Captain
Joe's pennant prospects depend.

Paret,s Tennis Advice.

gives the following advice to beginners:
ITO begin right is half the game in
lawn tennis, and if one wants to learn
to play the game well it is important to
begin correctly. Some of the simplest
matters are the most important, and If
these are mastered at the start the inn

of welding the willow. For instance,
in a recent game with Pittsburg they
piled up fifteen clean hits That is a
notable achievement when one realizes
how Strong the Pirates are in the field.
Leach at third, Wagner at short, Ritch-
ey at second. Clarke in left field and
Beaumont in center field are among the
best in the business. When fifteen

their opponents are certainly hitting

A Future chamnion.

Hanlon is a future champion, there is
no doubt, but he has not had so much
experience as Terry. and the latter
should have no difficulty in outgeneral-
ing him. Moreover, Hanlon's style of
fighting is just the sort that Terry has
found easiest to overcome.
Hanlon is only nineteen years old.
MeGovern is twenty-five. Hanlon's first
important fight took place in 1901 in
San Francisco, when he won from
frankie Neil in five rounds. McGov-
ern, on the contrary, had participated
in at least seventy fights up to that
time, meeting such men as Young

condition. But it should be remember

STORMY VOYAGE.
Vessel Springs Leak and Passengers
Make Dash for Boats.

Halifax, N. S., Feb. 15.-The steamer
Pro Patria steamed slowly up the harbor
Saturday evening with her hull half sub
merged and ice dated. The steamer had
a miraculous escape from laundering and
her passengers had a most thrilling ex-
perience.
III Pro Patria left st. Pierre at 3
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The wealth
er was piercing cold and during the night
the crew was continuously employed cut
ting ice from the steamers decks and
sides. There were 81 souls on board, in
GLIDING the crew.
Early Thursday morning water sudden
ly began to pour into the vessel, and at 9
O'Clock the steamer listed to StarbOard
until the upper plate line was only WISH
bic. Passengers became excited and
there was a mad rush for the boats.
The small boats were unable to make
Roadway and had to return to the dis
abled steamer. After working all night
the leak was plugged and the boat pro-
ceeded slowly to t his port. A number of
passengers were frostbitten and suffered
Severely from exposure and fright.

Mayor of Milwaukee Decides to Enter

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 15.-Petitions
containing the names of over 1000
voters of all parties have beer pre-
sented to Mayor Rose asking him to be
a candidate for a fourth term as
mayor, and he mas decided to enter the
field again.
The Democratic county committee
has Endorsed him and set the date for
the convention as March 81. 1t is a
very unusual thing Tor the county con-
vention to indorse a candidate, and it's
action in this case illustrates better
than anything else the ability of the
mayor to control the local political ma
chinery.
He will undoubtedly be renominated
by reclamation unless the plans of his
opponents, which are being conducted
quietly, should succeed.

ton. on the Panam railway. The
Prairie's boats were kept busy all day
embarking the camp fittings, baggage,
stores, ETC., and this task is not yet
finished.
Major Lucas will command the bat
TALON, and the Prairie will sail under
sealed orders. 1t has leaked out here
that the marines are destined for Santo
Domingo. Only about 100 marines now
remain at Bias Obispo-
DESTINATION IS CUBA.
Washington, Feb. 15.-Naval officials
say that while the Prairie, with the 450
marines from Color aboard, will touch
at Santo Domingo, the real destination
of the vessel is the naval station at
Guantanamo. The purpose of taking
the men there, they say is to give them
a change of climate and surroundings.
After they have been at Guantanamo
for a while, probably they will be sent
back to the isthmus, if the United
States continues to keep a force OF
marines there, and others will be given
an opportunity to go to Guantanamo.
Officials say that it is not the inten-
ton of the United States to increase
it's marine landing force in Dominican
waters; that there is already an ade-
quate number of men or board the
ships now in those waters, if any are
needed for landing purposes.

PASSES LEAD TO SCANDAL.
Wisconsin Officials Are Accused of
Riding Free on Railroads

Madison, Wis, Feb. 15.-The 'misfor-
tunes of the Office force of the attor-
ney generals department have caused
a scandal in the Wisconsin ~statehouse-
The last exposure affects Second As
sistant Attorney General Walter D.
Corrgan and reveals the fact that he
was in possession of a railroad pass on
the Wisconsin Central system during
the year 1898. This fac became known
Immediately after the first fight be-
tween him and John Winter Everett,
a political writer for the Milwaukee
Daily News, a Democratic newspaper.
The writer demanded an interview
with Mr.. Corrigan OF the pass ques-
ton, but was refused on the ground
that he had previously distorted an in
terview on a similar subject with Law
Examiner Tucker. The second assist
ant then forcibly elected Everett from
the office, beating his face, but receiv-
ing cuts and scratches On his face in
return.
The attorney general was criticised
a short time ago for opening and caus-
ing to be published a letter that was
for another man. His first
assistant was placed under a cloud for
riding on a railroad pass and for strik-
ing a civil war veteran.

STRIKE LOOKED FOR.
Trouble Exists Between Litho-
graphers and Employers.

New York, Feb. 15.-Trouble between
the 10000 photographers of the country
and their employers, which has beer
brewing for nearly two years, is ex-
pected to come to a head on March Is,
says h Herald. On that date a gen
eral strike or lockout probably will oc-
cur and contracts worth millions of
dollars may be transferred from this
country to Europe.
The difficulty arises over the demands
of the American Lithographing aSsocia-
ton, composed of 124 firms, that their
employees sign, on or before March Is,
a general plan of arbitration by which
all disputes between the employers and
the unions are to be settled. If the
unions refuse to sign the arbitration
agreement, as organizations, the en-
ployers will no longer recognize h
unions. Then if the men as individuals
decline. to enter the arbitration agree
ment they will be discharged and a
strike or lockout is expected.
Ninety-fve per cent of all the litho-
graphers are well organized and the
majority receive wages of $125 a week
or more. Most of the poster artists get
from $35 to $125 a week.
If the strike or lockout comes it will
practically tie up all branches of litho-
graphing work, from magazine Illus
trations to the huge circus posters. In
anticipation of the coming trouble sew
eral large contracts already have been
sent to Europe.

WAR MAKES PRICES SOAR.
Japan Holds tt Camphor and Russian
Wool Is Affected.

New York, Feb. 15.-Prices of fancy
merchandise from the far east are ris-
ing. The uncertainty of the length of
the war gives an opportunity for spec
ulation.
The export trade, it is predicted, will
not be materially affected by the a
as, judging from the lessons learned
during the Boer war and several decis-
ions IN international aw points, mer-
chandise sent in neutral bottoms will
be amply protected. This does not ap-
ply to goods hat are c~ontraband of
war. Japan has placed a ban upon
certain of her exports, notably camph-
or. Prices of camphor have gone up
ward at the rate of 2 or 3 cents a
pound a day for two weeks. Refined
camphor is selling at So n a pound.
whereas it was only A cents. A small
supply of camphor ONE from China,
but only an inconsiderable portion of
the amount consumed. The principal
source of supply has been Japan.
Other japanese goods that are ascend
ing in price are peppermint oil, men
thol and small bristle goods. Japan's
rice does not affect the American mar
ket,
About the only Russian export to this
country that is s1Kely to be affected in
price is wool, which is gradually soar
ing.

JAPAN's MILITARY SYSTEM
The Volunteer Is Not Recognized in
the Arrangement.

San Francisco. Feb. 15.-The japanese
consul in this port in discussing the
homeward movement upon the part of
citizens of Japan now residing in this
country to fght for their country, said
that there are quite a number of men
here who have already served three years
In the mikado'S army who are subject
to. further service when called upon.
These reserve men can come or go, as
they please, all over the world, but be-
fore leaving Japan they are bound to
leave their names with some permanent
resident of that country. The latter, rec
ognized by the authorities as a proxy, are
notified when the mems services are re-
quired and they. in turn, notify the alb
sentees. The ~consulates abroad keep no
register of these men for this reason and
have no jurisdiction over them. No cit
izen of Japan residing abroad who does
not belong to this reserve can be forced
to return and enter the military service.
Japan, not recognizing the volunteer sys-
tenn of recruiting in the army Japanese
not already enrolled in the reserve, can
not enter the service unless especially
called upon to do so. A number of army
reserve men, the consul says, have. he
understands, left for Japan and a num-
Der will likely follow on the outgoing
steamers.

dent. 1t is doubted that Matsumaye
has been bombarded as it is undefend-
ed. 1t is regarded probable that the
Russian fleet either returned to Via
livestock after completing a movement
planned to divert the Japanese or else
passed through the Tsugaru straits,
moving south. The Japanese cruiser
squadron is scouting in the hope of To-
eating the Russian fleet. If the Rus
slams should attempt to effect a juno
ton with the Port Arthur fleet the Jap
anese will endeavor to block the way
and force an engagement.
The Japenese government has decid-
ed to accept the parole of France for
the Russian prisoners captured at
Chemulpo at the time of the sinking
of the Variag and Korietz, provided
they be sent to Shanghai. Russia
agrees not to let them come north of
Shanghai until the close of the war.
An exception is made in the case of 20
wounded aboard the French steamer
Pascal. They will be taken to Chefoo
and placed in a hospital.

Merchantmen Zensho Maru.

sinking of the merchant vessel Zansho
Maru by -four Russian cruisers which

is declared to be a wantOn crime I'M
justified under any circumstances, even
assuming tina the Zensho Maru disre-

The foreign office issued the following
statement regarding the sinking of the
Zensho Maru:
1.-Two Japanese merchant vessels, the
Zensho Maru and the Naganoura Maru,
tonnage 10 and 700 respectively, while
sailing from Sakata to Otarn, were sud

ers from Vladivostock February IL,

opened without n order being given
the vessels to surrender. The Nagan-
oura succeeded in escaping. The other
vessel was surrounded by the cruisers
and sunk. All on board were either
killed. or drowned"

planning reprisals. Several Russian

give him the Bourbon county delega-

this will leave Allen and Anderson to
