TRIPLE ALLIANCE
IS STRENGTHENED
Emperor Williams Visit to Vienna Is
Greatly Curtailed BY Cold Weather
and Increasing Rain.

Vienna, June 7.-Emperor Williams
visit to Vienna was greatly curtailed by
the cold weather and unceaslng rain. The
principal feature of the visit was the
exchange of kilograms between the SOW
ereigns of the nations Of the triple al
lance which is generally attributed to
the initiative of the German Emperor,
and the marked attention which EN-
peror William paid to DR.. Wekerle, the
Hungarian premier. This latter apparent
ly has borne fruit In the more appre-
clative editorials printed in the Hun
garan coalition newspapers with regard
to the Austro-German alliance.
King Victor Emmanuels reply to the
telegram from the two Emperors is con-
sidered to have been hardly as warm
as Emperor William could have desired,
but it is held to have counteracted the
danger of the visit being regarded as a
mere Austro-German demonstration to the
exclusion of Italy, and according to the
Neue Freie Presse the imperial speech
to the delegations will refer in warm
tones to the incident as strengthening the
triple alliance.

MINORITY LEADER MAKES STATE.
MENT THAT THEY WANT TO
VOTE ON THE SEPARATE PRovl.
sloNs OF STATEHOOD BILL.

Washington, June 1.-THE leader of the
minority, John Sharp williams of Mis-
sissippi, told the House in almost so
many words today that the minority had
not fflibustered during the past few weeks
but had only resorted to the constitution
al privilege under the rules to call for
the yeas and nays, to refuse unanimous
consent, and to have a quorum present
But should the speaker and the con-
trolling element of the House refuse to
grant vote on the separate provisions
OF the statehood conference report. then
would come a real flibuster. He did not
use exactly this language. but it is evil
dent this is what he meant Said he
In conclusion:
IF 1t shall appear that we are to be
forced to swallow the conference report
IN gross, either to vote against It all
together or vote for 1t altogether without
an opportunity to amend It, without an
opportunity being extended to the House
to express its opinion on the question,
then we will resume the policy of demand
Ing that every constitutional require
ment shall be compiled with before any
legislation is carried on by this body"
This remark was Justify applauded by
the democrats.

G. a. RS Forty Years.

An especial interest has been taken in
the memorial day celebrations this year
all over the country from the fact that
this will be the fortieth anniversary of
the formation of the Grand Army of the
Republic At Decatur, H.. on April g.
1866 was organized the first G. A r. post
and the first national encampment took
place in November of that year at Indian
apolis Since then the order has eN-
tended to every state and territory or
the United States from Florida to Alas
ka, and its national encampments have
been held in places as widely separated
as Portland Me-, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington on the Atlantic coast
and San Francisco on the country's west
ern verge.
As its membership is restricted to eX-
soldiers and ex-sailors on the union side
during the civil war which closed forty
one years ago. the G. A. r. s roll is
constantly diminishing and must VANISH
altogether before many more years pass
At this writing the order numbers about
224000 men. and there are about 10000
death in their ranks every year The per-
centage of these rapidly increases from
year to year.

ARGUMENTS NOT FINISHED.
Packers in Kansas City Are Charged
With Accepting Rebates.

Kansas City, June 7.-Arguments in the
cases of the Armour, Swift. Cudahy and
Nelson Morris packing companies on
charges of accepting rebates from the
Burlington railway on export shipments
had not been concluded when court ad-
journed this afternoon
The Burlington had signed a contract
with the packers, making them a rate Of
% cents per hundred pounds from the
Mississippi river to New York. During the
life of the contract the railway raised its
tariff to IS cents. Counsel for the defen-
dants in their arguments today took the
ground that when their contract with
the railway was signed at the % cent rate
it was legal. and the railroad was bound
to carry 1t out. It was necessary to pro-
tect their business interests it was con-
tended, by making contract of this ma
ture, and the packers were not responsible
for the fact that the railway, after agree
ing to ship its products at one rate. which
at the time was legitimate, had later
raised it's tariff The case probably will
be given to the jury by noon tomorrow.

Back in 1912 few of the young bust
ness men of New York began to as
semble every Saturday afternoon on
those grounds to play what they called
baseball. In 1845 these same young
men organized the original Knicker-
booker Baseball club Of New York, the
first baseball club ever organized.
''The club printed the first playing
rules In 1916, and it may interest you
to know that the present game of base
ball could today be played under these
same rules with few minor changes.
showing that the main underlying prin-
ciples of the game have not changed
from that day to this. Five years
later, in 1850, the Gotham and Empire
clubs of New York we're organized, and
then began rival match games be-
tween clubs.
"In 1857 a convention of baseball
players was held in New York, which
resulted in the formation of the first
national association of amateur base
ball players in 1858, with total mem
bership of about twenty-five clubs, all
from New York city or the immedi-
ate vicinity
THE game had become well launched
when the civil war began in 1861. The
New York baseball players of that
period were among the first to respond
to President Lincolns call for troops,
and they took their baseball accoutre-
, ments with them and thus was the
game introduced into the army, where
it soon became a favorite camp pas
time. In some unaccountable manner
the game found it's way over into the
Confederate lines. and while those two
magnificent armies could not agree
| upon national policies, they could
agree upon baseball.
cat the close of the civil war, In
| 1865. the soldiers of both armies in re-

can see that baseball has its patriotic

Every possible effort was made at
this period to keep the game on a

of the public for higher degree of
playing skill. together with the grow

Of the games, produced sort of yelled

ers was organized since which time
the game has been governed by the
professional element"

American Money Going to Cuba.

Harriet Quimby In Leslie's Weekly.
Few Americans of the immigrant class
go to Cuba The men who have money
to invest go as tourists, and 1t is safe to
say that on every line sailing from New
York to Havana at least 2 per cent OF
the passengers this year entered Havana
with the purpose OF investing money. II
has been estimated that $1500O0,000 of
American capital has been invested In
Cuba during the last two years, and this
estimation does not include Havana,
where, in project for next season, there
is a million and a half dollar hotel, an
other which will reach we'll up to the
million mark one three million dollar
steel dock and another which will cost
five millions, to say nothing of the great
outlay of capital conferred in the system
Of electric railways which will extend
into the agricultural districts in and
about Havana, and will do away with tho
present suburban OK cart and mule team
transportation of fruit and vegetables for
shipping. All these enterprises are In
the hands OF Americans. About one
third of the eastern end of the island has,
within the last two years, come under
American ownership and control. The
land surrounding Nipe Bay is also owned
by Americans 1t is claimed that Nipa
Bay. to which a continuation of the rail-
road built by Sir William van Horn has
been completed, is one of the finest deep
water harbors In the world, and 1t Is only
a question of time when 1t will hold a
place of Importance on the island. The
bay is thirty miles long. one hundred feet
deep In many parts, and at any portion
the depth is sufficient to accommodate
the largest battleship af1oat American
colonies dot the island here and there,
and at Camaguey the American invasion
has been such that 1t Is called an Ameri.
can city Along the Western railroad
up sixty miles to the famous tobacco dis
trict in Pinar del Rio, flourishng Ameri-
can colonies are passed at about every
