NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

The Giants celebrated their return to the Polo
Grounds yesterday by a victory over the Cincin-
natis by score of 2 to l. It was the first oppor-
tunfty the local supporters had Of seeing Sey-
mour and Shannon, the two new recruits on
the home team. and when they came to the bat
in the opening inning they got an ovation. Shan
non did not make hit during the game, and
fumbled his only fielding chance, but Seymour
deserved the applause of the crowd by sending
out timely single. which allowed Bresnahan to
score.
Although the Giants made fourteen hits off
Fraser's delivery they lost many chances to
score by not being able to hit the ball when
hits meant runs. Taylor pitched for the Giants
and was in good form, allowing only five scat
tered hits. McGann's tumble in the fourth in
ming and the umpires generosity in calling Jude
safe made it possible for the visitors to score
their only run.
The Giants scored both runs in the first
inning on singles by Bresnahan, Browne and
Seymour. The score follows:

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 16.-The terri
tory of Arizona, rich in American citi-
zenship, as well as natural resources, 10
making determined fight to retain its
identity. The people as q whole are
bitterly opposed to the plan of joint
statehood with New Mexico. They ad-
vance various reasons for their opposi
ton, some of them potent and others Of
little apparent weight. Whatever the
reason, they are overwhelmingly against
joint statehood, and will kill the prop
osition at the polls next month. The
leader of the ''jointists" in Northern
Arizona acknowledges that he does not
count upon more than ID per cent OF
the vote in favor OF jointure.
The chief objection to union with
New Mexico appears to be based upon
the disparity in size and quality oil
population. The Mexican element in
New Mexico numbers at least so pei
cent Of the total population. In Ari-
IONA the Mexican vote ia about Is pei

Say Railroads Discriminate In Freight
Rates to Pacific Coast.
Washington, Oct. 10. = A complaint
has been made to the Interstate Com
MERGE commission by the North Caro-
lima Caseworkers' association, whose
membership consists of firms engaged
in the manufacture and sale of furni-
ture, against many lines of railroads in
the West, because of alleged unjust and
discriminatory charges for the trans
rortstion of furniture, especially from
High Point, N. c., and Dsnville, Va,
to Pacific coast terminal points.
The complsinsnts declare that the
railroads charge them t1.70 per hun
dred pounds for carrying furniturs
from the North Carolina territory to
Pacific coast points, and insist upon a
minimum carload weight OF 10000
pounds, whereas they claim to be able
to put into car only $4,000 pounds
of furniture. They insist, therefore,
that the rates are unreasonable and ask
the commission to issue an order re-
quiring the railroads to limit 36-foot
carload lots Of furniture to 10000
pounds.

ANNEXATION
MUST COME
Cubans VIII Not Be Given q Third
Chance to Fail.
Self Government Seems impossible -
Sugar and Tobacco Men Will OBJ
ject to Free Competition, but It
Must Come = No Action Likely
This Winter.

Washington, Oct. 6-Republican
senators and congressman who have
been in Washington recently and Off
cials closely identified with the admin
istIRtion agree with the president that
Cuba shall have another opportunity to-
try self government, but the opinion is
almost universal that annexation is
only a matter OF time. Little ia being
said publicly about the probability of
annexing Cuba to the Tn ted States,
but the subject is receiving great deal
Of attention in Washington and public
men are seriously discussing the best
method OF bringing the island under
the protecting arm Of the United States.
President Roosevelt is absolutely sin
cere in his declaration against the
present annexation OF Cuba and he has
hopes that the Cuban people, on thier
second attempt, will be able to form
and maintain q satisfactory govern
ment. He does not want the island
made part Of the United States if, by
any possibility, the Cubans can cen
duct their own affairs and protect the
lives and property OF all their citizens.
He does not believe that the United
States at this time would be justified
in taking ever the island, merely be-
cause vast amounts of American capital
have been invested. But If the words
of other administration officials can be
held to be authoritative, it is to be in
feIred that the president will interpose
no further objection to annexation in
case the second Cuban government is q
failure.
While annexation is generally ex-
pected, no one looks forward 10 it with
enthusiasm. Rather, the Cuban prob
lem is regarded in the light of one OF
the unpleasant outerowths of the Span
ish war, as perpleing in some respects
as the Philippine question. Southern
rneu would like to see Cuba made
American territory. but they want the
tariff wall kept up against Cuban sugar
and tobacco, and some bar erected
against the immigration of native Gu.
bans into the Unite States. The South
has more than its share of dusky citi.
zens.
1t is probable that the men in con.
gress who are fighting a reduction o.
the duty on Philippine sugar and TO-
bacco would join the South in demand.
ing the retention of the tariff on sugal
aod tobacco from Cuba in case of an
nexation. II Philippine sugar is &
menace to the beet sugar industry o
the West, it will he argued that thu
sugar from Cuba, closer and much NOR
abundant, would be still greater
| menace.
