ti6n comercial.

tangible para los republicanos, que
nj ain quieren revisarla parcialmen-
te. por mas que ciertos hombres escla-
recidos, comenzando por Mr.. Roose-
velt, piensan que el proteccionismo q
o,arance ha cumplido va su mission.
En- fin, los republicanos, despu6s
de largas vacilaciones, decidieron
que ell sistema monetario europeo-
basado sobre el orc no sobre la
plata-puede solo convenir 4 los inte-
reses econ6micos de Estados Unidos.
Y, como consecuencia de sus inclina-
clones q La Capitalization polftica,
admiten que la formation de los trusts,
de los sindicatos industriales finan-
cieros, 81 debfa ser vigilada, no debfa
estorbarse por la autoridad federal, &
menos de caer en- una violaci6n fla
granite de los derechos individuales.
Tales son las grandes lfneas del
programa que las convenciones repu-
blicanas dc Estado ratifcan que la
convention nacional de Chicago adop-
tara su vez.
Por 10 que 4 ellos respecta, los
dem6cratas combaten La polftica ex-
terror, Ell IMPERIALISMo, de sus riva-
les; desaprueban la ocupaci6n de FL
lipinas, segun desaprobaron Ia con-
quista; no admiten que los Estados
Unidos tengan colOnias.
En- cuanto a la tarifa aduanera,
bien que no hayan sido jamas libre-
cambistas al estilo de Europa, los de-
m6cratas son partidarios de la revi-
sion de los aranceles y de la rebaja de
los derechos y piden que esos derechos
Sc basen 6nicamente sobre las necesi-
dades del tesoro p1blico, reconocien-
do, desde luego, que ciertas industrias
pueden ser protegidas contra ell exceso
de la competencia extranjera. FL juez
Parker, de la corte suprema de Alba
ny, cuya candidatura cuenta con Ell
apoyo de Nueva York de muchos
Estados del oeste y del sur, acepta el
programa que acabamos de resumir.

PURSUIT or THE CROCODILE
Capture of Big Reptile Requires sev- eral Days-Live Fowl
 Used for Bait.

A correspondent of the London Field, writing on the pursuit of the crocodile in the Malacca strait, describes the in- genious method of catching the beast adopted by the natives of the Kedah river. He says: "A small bamboo raft some two feet square is constructed, and on it Is erected flag pest surmounteG by red flag, while from the under side of the raft or float runs 20 to 30 yards of stout line, ending in a few feet of chain. To this chain the barbed hook of hard brass metal is attached by three feet of untwisted fiber, in order that the fine fragments may get between the croco- dile's teeth and thus prevent his snap ping off the bait On the shank of the hook live fowl is made fast, together with short length of bamboo to give it ,fiotation, and then raft, line and bait are dropped into the river. Loudly squawks the unfortunate fowl for few minutes, but it's sorrows are short-lived. A splash, a swirl, the bait has disappeared, and then the men return to their homes, leaving a boy to mark the progress of the floating flag. Next day or the day after half dozen men paddle down stream until they sight the raft. Then, taking the line ashore, they haul away, and as ny this time the hook ss srr.scsl. ; ehtangied in the crocodile's intestlnes, he shows but little fight, and is easily dispatched"

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Worcester patronage is small. The team mas trimming the other teams ill the league so fast that there is but little interest i'll the games there. Captain Iighe thinks that Hartford will be the banner town i'll the league as soon as the team gets higher posi- ton ill the race.
 Secretary O'Rourke has notified r. 1T. Powers that q number of players ill this league are playing Sunday games with independent teams. The Connecticut league is member of the national association of which Pow, CTS is president. Players participating ill games with independent clubs are subject to a fine of $20O.
 Tommy Bannon refused to be reIn- stated as captain of the New London team unless he received compensation. He said 1t was q thankless job, espe- cially with no extra salary. He accept, ed the responsibility when offered $2J a month extra. The management shauld appropriate q certain amount to pay for Armbruster's fines
 Scorers who star a variety of plays are twelve months behind the game The Associated Press sends out a lot of ''starred" plays that nave no busi- ness in a score. The rules say: 'In cases of the base runner being de- clared out for interference, running out Of the line. or on an infield fly, the out should be credited to the player who would have made the play but for the action of the base runner or the announcement of the umpire- - Hartford Courant.

sCANLON HARD HIT.

St Louis, May 2s.--At the West End Athletic club here Thursday night the Mike Schreek-Jim Scanlon fight was the limit for slugging. The police were forced to step ill at the fourth round and stop the fight to save Scan lon. the alleged Australian champion, from being walloped into q hospital. The fight was a succession of right and side-stepping swings by Schreck and side-stepping by Scanlon. Lack Me. Kenna's protege could not land q punch, but stopped over twenty blows in each round with some part of his anatomy, most frequently the jaw 1t was coldblooded assassination the way Scllreck went after his heavier oppon- ent. In the fourth he stood up, set himself and then swung both right and left to the jaw. Scanlon was dag ed by the first blow struck in the round and could not defend Himself. He had been knocked down when Cap tain Gaffney stepped in and called off hostiiities.

M,YEY,s FIRsT MAsK

When Cal McVey, the old Chicago catcher, first donned mask i'll d game in which the Windy City team partici- pated, the late President Hubert be- came greatly exercised over it and could not be induced to approve of its use. He was incensed and after or dering McVey to remove it, declared: Don't you ever let me see you with that trap on again. What would be the result to-day, with every catcher compelled to play close behind the batsman, if MT Hulbert's idea were suddenly to be carried out? When Pete Hotaling first used Il mask i'll pro- fessional base ball he little realized how general his implement would be- come as a part of every clubs equip ment, in both professional and anna teur circles.

MANY DANGERS IN DUST.
Deadly Germs Implanted in It. Should Not Be Swept In
 to the Air.

Whether the bacilli that cause tuber>, culosis in the human being are the same as those which cause it in other warm blooded animals, and even fish, or whether they merely change their ap- pearance with their environment, is a question for the meteorological expert, says writer in Everybody's Magazine. That we may become infected from oth- CT animals has not the vital interest that the undoubted fact has that we can, and do, become infected by the germs that other men carry about, and that the home, the place where we take refuge from the ills of life, is precisely where this dread disease attacks us In- side the four walls of our houses is where these deadly germs are implant- ed, are nurtured and bring forth their harvest. It is at home we must begin to defend ourselves. It is the part of wisdom to do away with dust catching draperies and carpets Have the rugs shaken and beaten out of doors. If you must have carpets, sweep them with wet tea leaves sprinkled on them Wipe the
 furniture with moist cloth, not f1irt the aust about with bunch of feathers on
 a stick. Dust is dangerous. Better to have some critic write "sloven'' in the dust upon the mantel piece than cloud
 the air with it and poison your, family.

In Mediaeval Lanan.

It was custom in old Japan to bury living retainers, servants. and even horses, upright in a circle round the grave of member of any imperial or noble family. The heads of these poor wretches were left exposed, and their cries of agony during their lingering death could be heard night and day. This awful custom was changed by a tender hearted ruler in the second year of our Christian era, rough clay images being substituted for the living beings; but So late as A. D. 646 another emperor had to legislate against the recurrence of suep living buriassss.

FITzsIMMONs's RrrsE

bob h1tzSimmonS is back at his home III Bath Beach for rest and inciden- lally 10 get into condition for any mid dlewefght or heavyweight who cares to take him on for Il six-round bout. Fltz declares that Il contest longer than this just now is out of the question. This announcement. of course. offsets the possibility of Fitz boxing Kid Me Coy at San Francisco this summer. Bob adds that if there is to be any thing doing as far as Mccoy is cons cerned. the combat will have to be II siX-round bout at Philadelphia or Chi cago. Bob adds that Tommy Ryan. Gus Ruhlin, Jack O'Brien. Marvin Hart or Sandy Ferguson can have the same chance.
 When Billy Madden learned that Ruhlin was mentioned in Fitz's def he promptly accepted on behalf of the Akron Giant All that Bob has to do now to make the bout binding is to post q forfeit which Billy says he will quickly cover.
 But I do not think Fitz is on the level when lie says he will face Gus, | continued Madden, Its Il sure thing now that his next opponent will be Kid Mccoy and that Fitz's supposed desire to take on any of the other men he has mentioned. Ruhlin included. is Il mere bluff. I think that Mccoy and Fitz- simmons have it framed up to box at Philadelphia and that they have come to an understanding to this effect some time ago Wait and see if l am nos right. The Cornshman will avoid Ruhlin and the others and take on Me Gov"

At Springfield.

Springfield May 28.--Harold Quig- ey with his willing willow, Tommie b'Hare with his wonderful wand and EVillimantic Sullivan with his magic |nace went up against Miller, Spring ssld's famous sick man, yesterday md they were aided by the other |tickers until when Bobby Durn- baugh announced that the game was Pver it was seen that seventeen hits Tere registered against the Pony pitcher. 1t was terrible slaughter nd the 800 fans were in the dumps. Springfield started off bravely by get ling run in the second and another h the third but the Hartfords made Ap for 1t ill the fourth by doubling She Springfield score.
 4 The Senators struck number of Body blows in the fifth and when they @egan to pound Miller the Springfield

 owed a few runs to make the score #espectable. The end is not yet as

Transportation of Liquid Air.

The manufacture of liquid air for sci- entific and technical purposes has as- sumed considerable proportions in Ger many, and for the purpose of extending this industry an experiment was recent lysmade tostest its lasting qualities in shipment. One morning two quarts of liquid air were delivered at the Berlin station for shipment to Geneva, where it arrived in five days. After an addi- tional delay of half a day it was deliv-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-28

cred to the chemical laboratory of the University of Geneva. The glass vessel in which this curious liquid was trans- ported still contained one-fourth of a quart, which was at once experimented with. Tn larger shipments it is believed that the loss from evaporation would be correspondingly less. Incidentally it might be noted that a distance equal to that between Berlin and Geneva would be covered commonly in 36 hours, in- stead of five days.

The fifth was full of ginger and III the sixth Bennitt went after Holly for all he was worth, punching his rival at will. But Holly's good work in the early rounds evened up Bennitt's later advantages.

Joe Cans Hits Jewey Cook Too Hard and the Eng. lishman is Done in the Eighth-Other News.

Baltimore, May 2S.--Joe Cans knocked out Jewey Cooke, champion welterweight of England and South Africa in the eighth round of what was scheduled for q fifteen round bout before the Eureka Athletic club last night. After taking a terrific beating for seven rounds Cooke went down. Again, after one minute in the eighth, Cooke went down from a terrific right in the wind. He was on his hands when the referee started to couDt, but Cooke interrupted him to say that he had hurt his left hand and could not continue Cooke was then carried to his corner He was not totally uncon- scious, but all the fight and most of his senses had been knocked out of him.
 s When the gong called the men to the center both displayed considerable caution. and there was fully q minute of fiddling before Cooke led with a light left, which Cans easily parried. Not q good blow was attempted until the close of the round, when Cans landed left jab to the face and cross ed his right hard on Cooke's head, while the Englishman landed hard on Gans's body. The second was little livelier. Cans was beginning to take his big. opponents measure and con tinually jabbed his left in his face, while Cooke tried number of hard swings which failed to, do any dam age. In the third round Cans began to go after his man. and while he open ed the round with a fierce jab to Cooke's face the latter came back with stiff right to Ganss head.
 Cooke tried swings and a couple of right upercuts which did no damage while Cans bored ill and showered a series of blows on Cooke's body and face, with the result that the ciarer flowed in streams from the English mans nose..The fourth round was D repetition of the third. Cans landed all over Cooke, but failed to reach q vulnerable spot. and the Englishman's superior strength stood him in good stead to last out q few more rounds. The fifth and sixth saw the English man taking more Wallops. while Cans escaped with only a few light returns.
 The beginning of the end came to- ward the close of the seventh round
 Cans had walked to his corner think Ing 1t was all over, but when Cooke got up the colored boy swalked hack and put him down with another rignt. Cooke managed to get up on the count or nine. and then by clfnching he stay ed out the five seconds of the round. when the eighth started Cans poked ms left in Cooke's face several times and then ripped his right over CooISe's solar plexus. Cooke fell in hean on the floor and it was all over
