Base Ball Notes.

Detroit makes the most pills in it's big
chemical laboratories. but the smoking in
base ball seems to be done in good old Pitts
burg.
Ridgewood Park, which has been dis
cussed so much of late. held great Sunday
crowds in 1883 and 1889, when the Brooklyn
club played there.
Japan and the trouble in Panama are insig-
nificant compared to the action of the
American League on the foul strike.
A story from Terre Haute that De Ar
mond of Cincinnati had been traded to
Chicago for an outfelder caused President
Hermann to smile. Such a thing has
never been mentioned" he said.
Many fans will regret the departure of
George an Haltren from the National
League circuit. The veteran outfielder was
a hard worker and popular in Washington
and elsewhere in the country.
Manager Phillips will spend the remainder
of the winter at his home in Allenport, Pa.
The new manager of the Hoosiers is de-
servedly popular In Cincinnati. His selec-
ton to manage Indianapolis was wise one.
ber ball must have been used In order for
G. Hogrieyer to bat 800 last season, as Is
shown by Hickey's alleged averages. At
that "Hoggie" is worth more than some
300 per centers.
Jesse Tannehill will not be traded to De-
troit and does not understand why Chicago
let Jack Taylor out. On the first PROPOSE
tion the clever southpaw wins, but on the
other Jim Hart and Frank Selee are on top.
1t isn't necessary for Jesse 70 understand

NO RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Announcement of the House Commit
tees Decision.

The House committee on rivers and har-
bors yesterday decided that there should
be no river and harbor appropriation bill at
the present session of Congress- although "a
few surveys may be authorized.
In explanation of the postponement of a
bill until next session Chairman Burton
made the following statement:
THE main reason for this action was the
very large balance appropriated for river
and harbor improvements which is now
lying in the treasury unexpended. This
balance at the end of last year was some
what in excess of $5S. .O0C. 900 In addition
to this. it is expected that ss,7o0,60o or
thereabouts viii be appropriated at this
session in the sundry civil bill for the con-
tinuance of work on/rivers and harbors
where improvements are progressing under
continuing contracts.
"A considerable number of complaints
have been lodged with members of the
committee because of slowness in prosecut-
ing improvements. In some cases appro-
priations were made several years since,
but nothing has yet been done. In others
which were provided for in the bill of June,
1902. the work is scarcely commenced. The
inadequate number of government engi-
neers engaged in this branch of the service,
the delay and difficulty in preparing plans
and securing sites for government works,
and the high prices which have prevailed
for several years past are all in different
degrees responsible for this delay.
1T is expected that the committee will
present a bill at a very early date in the
next session. certainly not later than when
Congress reconvenes after the holiday re-
cess. In the meantime some legislation will
be recommended by the committee for the
necessary maintenance of existing public
works, for such general legislation as may
be desired, and perhaps also for the exami-
nation and survey of new projects.
The committee decided to continue hear
ings during this session. and also to meet
frequently for the consideration of river
and harbor legislation and the demands of
such localities requesting improve
ments. The necessity for giving undivided
attention to the framing of the bill will pre-
vent hearings at the next session."

The United States has no share of the
coal trade. Last year Great Britain con-
tributed 100. S43 tons and the rest of the
world 1921 tons. OF this the United
States furnished l2.6l6 tons. and the report
of the official statistician says with un-
necessary emphasis. that this little i'm
portation need not be regarded in the light
of serious competition with Great Britain
The coal was imported in four bottoms by
influential Egyptian Daira in barter for
four cargoes of sugar. the same ships dis
charging the and loading the other
This transaction caused some unnecessary
excitement in local circles, it being consid-
cred that the coal should have been ordered
in the usual way, and that the sugar should
have been rendered through this market
Ii the coal proved better than British coal.
and il the sugar fetched more money by
barter than by local sales. the daira may
be congratulated

that on October 49, 1898, the treasurer re-

The Foreign Commerce.

The foreign commerce of Egypt amounts
to about s16o.0o0.0oO a year. The exports
during the last few years have exceeded
the imports. leaving a handsome balance of
trade in favor of the country. Last year
d9U2) the imports were fl4. 4.Sl4, ,6SS and the
exports fl7.6I1,O03.
Great Britain has the bulk of the COM
merce. Her exports to Egypt In 1902
amounted to f5,4iI .l15 and her imports
from f9.215,111. In addition to the united
kingdom. the British colonies in the east
send tea, fruit and other merchandise to
Egypt Turkey comes next in order. then
France and Germany. The trade of the
United States with Egypt is very one
sided. Last year we bought ISOLDE of
her products. according to the Egyptian
statistics, and sold her s9SJ,350 of our
merchandise. Trade has been running
about that way for the last ten years.
The principal imports of Egypt are cotton
fabrics. and raw cotton, which comes from
Arabia and the neigtbOring states and is
reshipped to Europe and the United States:
coal and other forms of fuel which is
largely sold to steamers passing through
the Suez canal; manufactures of iron and

On Monday one of the visitors at the

old column of smoke and ashes straight
from the heart OF Madam Pele. This
great cloud rolled out SO suddenly that
it startled the tourists. The guide went
down to the crater at once. and found
that an explosion had split open the
cone and that something was evidently
occurring underneath. for the noise
which proceeded therefrom sounded like
the boom and hiss of a mighty surf.
and often huge rocks went laundering
to the bottom.

TROUBLES
Of NATIVE
TONGANS
Bishop Willis's Name is
mixed Up in
Politics.

SAN FRANCISCO, March a3.
King George. of the Tonga IS
lands, is, according to advices
from Americans in his employ,
to accept a pension from the Brit
ish government and abdicate.
King George has ruled over the
Tonga Islands for many years
and is regarded as an enlighten-
ed man. He will not be thrown
out nor will he be a poor king out
of a job.
He will be recognized as an
ex-sovereign and will probably
be given a larger sum of money
to live upon than he ever had be-
fore.
He will not be wanting in honz
ors and dignities and at the same
time will be relieved from the
cares of office.
At Tonga, which is his chief
city, there are only few Europe
ans.
The inner history OF the Ton
ga group is interesting and espe-
cially so is the connection of
Shirley Baker, the missionary,
now dead, with the Tonga peo-
pie. Baker went to these islands
as a missionary of the Wesleyan
Church. He soon became their
purchasing agent. He charged
what he liked and the story is
told that he made the king pay
$500 for an old cannon, which ex-
pfoded the first time it was fred.
Baker became a Church of
England clergyman While pos
ing as clergyman of the estab-
lished church, he married a rich
native, and when the white man
wanted the marriage recorded in
the high commissioners Office. it
was rejected because the high
commissioner demanded Bakers
credentials.
These he was unable to show
Bishop Willis went from Homo
lulu to Tonga. The arrival of the
Bishop was ike stirring up
hornets nest.
A party was formed which re-
sented the visit of the Bishop,
declaring that he was sent there
by the British Government as
a preparatory step toward the oc-
cupation of the islands.
For time the feeling was most
acute and trouble was feared.
Willis is of such genial
disposition that he won over to
friendship the most hostile of the
islanders.
