The Quakers' Farewell Game Today
POINTERS TO RANDOM

We base our prediction on the fact that at the present time there are four slug gers on the team whose hitting will average between .2S0 and 30.
 Il is needless to say that these are McGilvary, Phelan, Molesworth and Me Bride.
 The other slugger will occupy the righ field position. And from the material from which Manager Molesworth will eventually have to select. there is hardly 6 doubt but, that the new Baron will be one who can hit the ball and cover him self with glory in other regards
 Charles A. Comiskey. owner of the White Sox of Chicago, has informed Manager Molesworth that he will be able 10 turn over to him an outfielder by April l. In addition to his regular outfielders, Comiskey has seven on the string, and from the report in another column on this page. each of the seven is good man. It is very probable that the offering of Comiskey will come in the name of Messenger or Mclean, or Choun- iard or Johnson
 And furthermore, the Quakers will dis pose of one or more yalable outfieIders and from them the Barons might be able to procure a splendid gardener
 So it appears as if our prophecy will materialize.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 5.-The

Europe for the purpose of aiding in
the Teestablishment OF peace, arTiv-
ed here by the steamship FueTst Bis
marck from Havana, where he had
halted on the way.
While not an avowed candidate for
the presidency, General Reyes is con
sidered a receptive one. Undoubted-
ly his name will be on the ballot
when the election Is held. He is
popular with the army and can rely
politically on what remains of the

City next Wednesday the two men
who probably will be the leading RI
walls for the presidency may have the

cred a menace to the state.

clared constitutional by Judge James

States senate as with the people of
the country.
In spite of the forces that are array
ed against 1t, the president expressed
the belief that the agreement would
be come a law. "The bill" he said,
will pass, if it passes at all. because
of the force of the public opinion in
it's favor.
EXTENT OF THE OPPOSITION.
81 venture to state that there is much
less real opposition to reciprociay than
has been represented in Washington.
L have estimated the arguments and
compared them with actual statistics.
Under reciprocity with Cuba, which
reduced the duties on each side 20 per
cent, our trade with that country was
doubled Under complete reciprocity
with Porto Rico our trade with that
island has increased nearly Is times;
under reciprocal relations with the
Philippine islands our mutual trade
has nearly doubled in less than year.
In each case there was bitter opposi-
tion and wild prophesies of disastrous
results
From what source does the opposi
ton to Canadian reciprocity proceed? {?
1t comes first from those who own and
control the lumber supply of the United
States; secondly, from manufacturers
of print paper, of whom the largest
own much of the spruce wood supply of
the United States from which print pa
per is made. And, third. from those
who claim to represent the farmers of
the country.
The control Of lumber in the United
States is in comparatively few hands,
so friendly to each other that the pos
sibility of a monopoly is neither re-
mote nor improbable, according TO the
bureau of corporations, unless we bring
to the markets of the United States
the relatively inexhaustible supply to
be found in Canada
REGARDING PRINT PAPER.
las to print paper: The tariff hoard
reports that the average cost of pro
duction in all the United States is
about IS more a ton than the cost of
production in Canada, and that this s.
is about the difference between the
cost Of pulp wood in the United States
and the cost of pulp wood in Canada,
1T is OF the highest importance, both
TO consumers and TO the manufactur.

REGARDING PRICE OF WHEAT
