BOY BuLIARDIST
CHALLENGES THE WORLD.

NEW YORK, January 18.-WilIie Hoppe,
the nineteen-year-old billiard champion OF
the world, will not rest content with the
victory he won over Maurice vignaux on
Monday night in Paris. Before the match
Hoppe intimated that IL he was successful
against the Frenchman he would issue q
challenge far more sweeping than his re-
cent one with Vignaux. In the match with
the famous French billiard player the
stakes were only $1,000 The new cham
pion now says that he will play any one in
the world for the sum of $4,000 the game
to be played in a five or six nights series,
at the 18-inch balk line, with one shot al
lowed on balk and In the following shot
either the opponents ball or the red ball
must cross the line
Although formal challenge has not yet
been made by Hoppe, 1t Is expected 1t will
soon be forthcoming Billiardists when
they learn the details of Hopes offer will
full player.
It is the consensus of opinion of experts
In this city that the victory Of the Ameri-
can will produce a revival Of billiards In
Hoppe will receive challenges from such
cracks as Schaefer. Sutton. Cure and
Morningstar. Whether they will make their
own terms or accept those the new cham
pion Is about to make known remains to
be seen. Slosson said this morning that
he might meet Hoppe in the near future.
Inc return OF the trophy TO America Will
stimulate interest in billiards also among
the lesser lights and will make popular the
1S-inch balk line. one shot in, game. as
well as the 1S-inch two shots in
The news Of Vignaux's defeat was re-
ceived differently by various billiardists
Mr.. DAILY said that although no credit
should be taken from the boys achieve
ment, Vignaux had perceptibly gone down
hill in his play during the last few years
He said that Hoppe, nevertheless, had won
by straight billiards and no fuke, adding
that Hopes average of over twenty
stamped him the greatest billiard player
in the world today.
Slosson, on the contrary, though that the
youthful American stood little chance
against the more experienced Frenchman
1T was wonderful record" he said
Hoppe has developed fast during the last
year. His record in this country was made
last spring against a third-rate player. His
play Monday night was revelation to me-"
Preparations are now being made for the
1872 balk line tournament for the worlds
championship. to be held in Madison
Square Garden, beginning on April s. Wig
naux's defeat, it is said, will practically
force him to enter the tournament in this
city. Other cracks who are expected to
enter are Hoppe Sutton, Cure, Morning
star Cutler, Schaefer and Siosson.
Sutton, Cure and Morningstar are at
present playing in Paris, Schaefer in Chi
cago and Cutler in Boston.

ROOSEVELT TO THE RESCUE.

President Roosevelt, who always
may be depended upon to rise to an
emergency, be the cause great or
small, has indicated his purpose 90 as
sert his position on the free alcohol
bill now pending. President Roose-
welt realizes two things. One that
the passage of the bill will mean much
to the farmers of the entire country,
providing them with cheape~ fuel and
cheaper light; the other that the Stan
dard Oil interests are becoming too
active in their efforts to defeat the
proposed legislation. In special
message that the President will. send
to Congress within a fortnight, he
probably will make it plain that if the
National legislative body is DESTROYS of
enacting a law which can only prove
beneficial to the people and which can
only prove detrimental TO the great
est monopoly in the world, the free
alcohol bill should be rushed through.
The bill at this very minute is under
cover; hidden from public as we'll as
Legislative view in the archives of the
Senate finance committee and there
it. will remain unless pressure is
brought to bear. That the Stand
lard Oil interests have a way of sue
cessfully blocking legislation that
promises to antagonize this+gia mo-
nopoly, none will deny; that 1t. is the
Standard Oil interests that, are placing
barriers in the way of the free alcohol
bill, most men admit. President
Roosevelt scents danger afar. He
never shirks a dutytand he would Just

nopoly as he would mountain lion

BIG MILITARY PLANS ON
Palladium Special. ]

Indianapolis, April 3O.-The pro-
gram of mobilizing all the infantry,
cavalry and field artillery of this
country in six or seven camps in diff
ferent parts of the country, including
FIT. Benjamin Harrison, at Indianapo-
lis, may be enlivened by an important
departure from the usual list of evo-
lutions and operations.
President Roosevelt is very anxious
to test the facilities of concentration
under conditions which approach
those of real alarm. This wouldsnot
permit much advance notice sandfit lis
proposed to develop krapidityS ofse equip
ment and concentration by having a
series of sudden 'calls, of which no
previous notice has been given.
This is in the line of some French
experiments recently made at Ian
Vile, where 1.-The authorities appeared
one morning at o'clock and ;called
out the troops. Within two hours "a
body, of soldiers, including four infant.
ry regiments, hussars and the artill-
cry of the garrison was on its way to
the field fully equipped.
1t has been found that these alarms
have their beneficial effect not only
in the training they give in prompt
ness of action, but in keeping the Off
GERS and the men on the alert.
Last year President Roosevelt plan
ned the concentration of a large body
of troops at Newport News, Va. to
be taken to some point on the New
England coast by transports and then
proceed to their respe ctive stations by
marches. This would have been car
ried out with some such alarm as
the French army was using had the
War Department possessed the funds
necessary to move the troops. The
same idea is likely to be carried out
on a smaller scale at the camps of con-
centration this summer. For this
reason the department is refraining
from giving out any news relating to
the coming maneuvers.
Considering Sites for Brigade Posts
The general staff of the army is con-
sidering several sites for brigade army
posts. The Investigations are being
made with as little publicity as posi-
bl efor the reason that land owners
are disposed to take advantage of any
known plans of the department and
raise prices. 1t is known that India
napolis is one of the points under con-
sideration If it is decided eventually
to increase FIT. Benjamin Harrison
from regimental post to brigade
post. about 5000 acres of additional
land will be desired. 1t is no the
expectation of the department to ask
Congress at this session to make pro-
vision for the brigade post. but the
general staff, by direction of the Pres
ident, is preparing to make a recon-
mendation which will be submitted at
the next session.
