GIANTS TO GO TO CUBA.

New York, Nov. 11.-Nearly all of
the Giants who assisted in winning
the National League pennant for the
metropolis, and who "also ran" in the
race for the worlds championship,
gathered in New York today prelim-
mary to embarking on a voyage to
Havana, where they will play a series
OF games with the Cubans. Each
player is guaranteed $500 and ex-
penses.
Chief Meyers. the Indian catcher,
and Rube Marquard, pitcher, will not
accompany the party. Fred Snod-
grass has also turned down the offer
and has gone with his wife to Califor-
mia for the winter. Marquard has
gone into vaudeville and exepcts to
clean up $4,000 before the spring
training season begins.
Manager McGraw and the fifteen
players who accompany him are GER
tain that it isn't any joy trip they are
facing. The Cubans have learned to
play some ball and the worlds cham
pion Athletics were licked good and
plenty in Havana a year ago. Nc
Graw has told all his players that
they will have to put up the real ar
ticle Of baseball.
The regular infield of the Giants
and nearly all of the outfielders who
played in the worlds series, except
Murray, will be seen by the Cubans.
Mathewson. Wiltse and Crandall will
take turns in the box, and Wilson and
Hartley will catch. With Merkle,
Doyle, Fletcher, Herzog and Devlin,
the Giant infield will be complete, and
Josh Devore and Becker, with a cou-
pie Of other outfelders, will be taken
along
The Cuban promoters have depos-
tied money in a Havana bank as a
guarantee for twelve games. Nine
of the players are married men, and
the benedicts are accorded the priv
ilge of taking their wives along at
the expense of the Cubes"
Chief Meyers, under his winter
alias of Juan T. Tories, arrived this
week in California and expects to
spend the winter preparatory to the
best season he has ever had in base
ball, which he thinks will be 1912.
Meyers undoubtedly was a more con-
sistent performer in his position dur
ing the last few months than any 9TH
er Giant, and there was no man on
the team who worked harder for vic
tory.

To Force Hotels to Aid
Campaign Against Tips

Pittsburg, Nov. 11.-Another heroic
campaign against the tipping game
has been started by the Commercial
Travellers Association and it is prob
able that the boarding house will sup
plant the first-class hostelries in Amer
lean cities, unless something is done
to curb the nuisance.
Walters, BARRIERS, bellhops, Pullman
porters, bootblacks and elevator men
are all included in the element that is
to be deprived of the bounty in nick
els, dimes and quarters reaped every
year from the pockets of travelling
men.
The first shot of the campaign has
been fired in a circular letter received
here today by leading hotels from p
f. Dove, President of the Commercial
Travellers League. 1t asks the hotel
arrangements to cooperate with the
association in enforcing no-tipping

but would necessarily have to take
the matter up with the Washington
department and secure their consent.
Mr.. Collins is in receipt of a letter
from the department stating they are
willing to the proposition, but as the
building has not as yet been formally
accepted from the contractors the
consent of the latter will have to be
had. With view to securing the con-
sent of the contractors Mr.. Collins has
taken the matter up with them by
wire and hopes to know by Monday if
they are agreeable to allowing the
doctors use of the building.

rules among help. Incidentally it is
urged that better pay be given en-
ployes of hotels in order that the aelp
will not look to the pocket books of
guests.
The widely spread sentiment against
the nuisance is emphasized as a rea-
son for curbing the tipping practice.
There is hint among members of the
Travellers Association here that if
hotels do not comply, widespread
agitation to patronize first-class ooard-
ing houses will result.
The late George NJ. Pullman is cred
tied by the association with having
said:
''If the public is foolish enough to
pay the salaries of Pullman employees,
why should the Pullman Company do
so?"
This is emphasized as the popular
theory among hotel managements ev-

GERMAN PRINCE
IS REPRIMANDED
His Attitude in Reichstas Brings Con-

(By Associated F.'ess.)

Berlin, Nov ia public and semi
official rebuke has been administered
to the Crown Prince Frederic William
through an inspired telegram from
Berlin, published in the Cologne Ga
zette today and which fully confirms
the report that Emperor William rep
rimanded his son for having openly
demonstrated his approval of the at
tacks on the Governments Moroccan
policy and the bellicose utterances in
Reichstag Thursday. The dispatch to
the Cologne Gazette says: 1--WE be-
lieve it to be right and the duty of the
heir to the throne to take an interest
in politics; he cannot be reproached
for forming his own opinion, even if it
is not consonant with the Imperial
policy. We further do not desire that
the Crown Prince be prevented from
expressing in a fitting manner and
place, not however in the way chosen
in the Reichstag, the effect of which
we consider extremely grave" 1t
goes without question that the episode
and press comments thereupon were
reported to the Emperor and the ab-
/ sence of the Crown Prince at Fridays
sitting was due the Emperor to whom
Thursdays events and the considera-
tions involved therein cannot be agree

Innocent Chinese, destitute, are flee
ing, terror stricken to the shelter at
the rear of the reform forces. The
latter numbering between 10000 and
10000 are impotent to check the
slaughter or avenge the slain because
of their lack of ammunition.
Last night the revolutionists made
a demonstration by little shooting
and there were few fatalities. The
main body of the reformers remained
in camp three miles distant from the
city awaiting ammunition. Reinforce
ments are coming from every direc-
ton. They are raw and ragged re-
cruits, but are determined. When the
city gates were opened this morning
the people thronged toward the coun-
try. driven by the imperialists. Soon
afterwards the carnage began,
Since the night of Nov s when the
first attack was made by the revOu-
tionists the Tartar general has tried
to terrorize the inhabitants by whole
sale executions. Those whose queues
had been cut off were beheaded, but
today when the order for a general
slaughter was given, the whole native
city was invaded by the Manchu
soldiers who massacred men, women
and children. Even the aged and babes
in arms were shown no mercy.
Thousands of Chinese poured from
the gates. At noon it was estimated
that fully 10000 persons had fed. Be
fore nightfall 10000 more, represent
ing every class, had escaped. Mean
while the Manchus secured the mar
row city streets. Houses of wealthy
merchants were sacked. And queue
less victim was beheaded Immediately
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw several women executed
and their children stabbed and trampl
ed under foot.
The order appeared to be that any
one wearing white, which suggested
the white badge worn by the reform
ers must be killed forthwith. A white
rocket handkerchief marked the pos
SCISSOR for death. White shoes, which
are worn by the Chinese as sign o
mourning, were signal for the eXecu
ton of the wearer.
An attempt tonight to estimate tn
number of innocents and combatant
slain would be futile.
The Cinnamon found wearing fol
eign clothing Immediately fell victir
of his advanced taste, but foreigner
were not molested. Their protest
against the massacres, however, wer
laughed at.
Correspondents of the Associates
Press worked uninterruptedly withl
the outer walls of the city.
Fires sprang up everywhere durlh
