Golden wants to appear in brand new play, based, of course, on the de1ineation of the Yankee character. With that end in view he has asked Dr. Haskell to col ia.borate in writing the play, and also appearing with him in its production as 'tassistant starr Dr. Haskell has taken the offer into consideration, but will probably content himself with a wiIds of Vermont with Uncle Jed. when by their joint efforts the play l will be concocted. Dr. Haskell has been upon the stage for several years but has given it up for his present vo- cation.

The Brazilian diplomat was taking the first steamer out of the country, because as Carranza said, he had learned that Carranza was preparing to expel him, on, the ground that he was really representing the interests of the Unit ed States in Mexico rather than those of his own country. Senor Ortego, the minister from Guatemala, was, ex- pelled by Carraza for similar reasons.

CABLE TROUBLES
 TEMPORARILY REMED|ED

The cable was repaired yesterday morning and communication has again been established with the states. In commenting on what it calls our "cable troubles" the Juneau Dispatch says: This is an infiiction which seems to come every so often. Uusually when something happens to the cable the Burnsides is at anchor in Seattle or Tacoma.
 If the cable to Alaska was operated by private company, it would place the cableship at some part nearest where the break might occur, so as to be ready for business without any loss of time. Moreover, a private company would lay an extra caGle in order to handle the business and take steps to guard against breaks every month or so. The rates paid on the Alaska cable and the volume of business han died pays the government handsome profit and can we'll afford to use some up-to-date business methods in keep ing it in good repair and giving the people service.
 Really, these constant interruptions to service are becoming bit tiresome. It is hoped that the wireless people, have been getting ready for the past several months to enter the Alaska field, will get on a commercial basis soon and give the United States cable some healthy competition.

FEDERAL LEAGUE
 CU UTS PRICE . ADMISSION

NEW YORK, Aug. 9-The Federal Baseball League announced today that for the remaider of the season the price of tickets admitting to the blea- cher sections of all towns in the league would be ten cents. In the older leag- ues the price of bleacher seats is fifty cents. When organized baseball first entered the large cities the price was 25 cents. Later when the National League was the only major organiza- tion the price was 50 cents. Then the American League entered the field pledged to 25 cents baseball, and im- mediately jumped into favor with the masses as it was giving a fine article of all at a reduced price, and the ma 1ority of the baseball loving public had always felt that 50 cents was too much to pay for bleacher seat in the hot sun. The National and American Leagues soon made peace, and then slowly but steadily the service given by the newer league was curtailed. Some of the American League cities cut 25 seats altogether, while others erected new bleachers in centre field and raised the price of the base blea- chers to 50 cents. This has created a great deal of dissatisfaction and the move of the Federal League officials in lowering the price to 10 cents will doubtless increase the popularity of the Gilmore organization, and have a beneficial effect on the waning atten- dance. None of the major leagues have been making money this season, and it is believed that the declining fn- terest the public is taking in the sport is largely due to the high price of ad. mission. On the other hand the man. agers assert that the big salaries paid the players demand that they get more
