CLEVELAND, Ohic, November 27.—One of the local papers publishes a statement here todzy that the republican headquar- ters at Washington will be abandoned after January 1, for the reason that there is rothing more to do until the next presiden- tial campaign opens. ‘The congressional fight will be taken care vf by the congressional committee. The es- tablishment of a permanent headquarters Was an innovation in politics, for previous to last year the committees of both parties Bad closed up their offices as soon as the affairs of the campaign were closed.

A reference to the statement be- low will show that the circulation sworn to is a bona fide one. It is easily possible for a news- paper with an elaStie conscience to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to dece!ve adver- tisers, by sending out thousands of Papers to newsstands, which are re- turnable, and which are in fact re- turned, bui nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, however, judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don’t give them. The family circulation of The Star is many thousands in excess of any other Washington paper. The variance between the circula- tion figures. furnished by the Adver- tisers’ Guarantee Company and those given in the weekly statement published by The Star is due to the fact that the former figures in- clude only those sold for cash, while the latter include copies for which other valuable consideration is given, such as copies furnished employes and others for services to advertisers and to exchanges.

OT STOP SEAL SLAUGHTER. Canadian Government Must Wait for Convening of Parliament. OTTAWA, Ont., Novereber 27.—The reply of the Canadian government to the prop- esition that the Canadians should stop kill- ing seals for a year beginning January 1 indicates that it is not possil to comply with the proposal, as every British sub- ject has a right to engage in pelagie seal- ing unless prohibited by imperial dec: which can only be issued by authority of the imperial parliament, and will not meet until February. parliament Tae Canadian reply suggesis that the proposed joint commission be appointed and meet at once, when, uporconclusion of negotiations upon the half dozen questions at issue, including the sealing question, the nec sary legislation could be secured from the Brit parliament and the suspension of pela, sealing go into effect in the It is anthoritatively stated here that the United States first proposed to pay the Canadian government a lump sum of money to extinguish pelagic sealing, a proposal which Sir Wilfred Laurier refused. pais eee PENSION CLAIMS REJECTED. Two Cases Pending for Yeurs Ad- versely Decided. Mr. Davis, the assistant secretary of the interior, today handed down a large num- ber of decisions, in som.e of which the ac- tion of the pension bureau was aflirmed end in some reversed. Two cases, which have been pending for a number of years, were acted upon and rejected. Had they been allowed the sum of back pensicn money involved would have amounted to more than $30,100. One of the cases was that of Charles C. , late of Company D, 21st New York Infantry, who enlisted May 8, 1861, and Was mustered out November 23, 1861, His claim was for locomotor ataxia, which, he alleged, rendered him totally helpiess, and which he also alleged to have contracted in line of service. Assistant Secretary Da- vis says there is no record of medica: treatment while in the service, and no evi- dence whatever that he suffered from the alleged trouble in the service, and even if there was it could not be regarded as first stage, for, as says, the earlier pains which may be mistaken rheumatism, are referred to the por- cf the body below the seat of the se in the spinal cord, that is, to the extremities. Moreover, it is not locomotor ataxia in its the medical refe1 of locometor ata for shown that claimant was subjected to any great exposure or exertion during his serv- The ¢ ice. timant himself says: “I recall I was not injured in ‘after full lence in the case and the brief and rgument in support of the claim, I am of the opinion that no valid or isfactory reason was shown for holding that loco- inotor ataxia is due to claimant's military viee."t The other case is that of the claim of George Erenizer, late of Company A, 16th Chio Infantry. He is already pensioned at $39 a month, on account of total inability to perform manual labor by reason of gun- shot wound in the skull and resulting in paralysis. He filed a claim for increase to first grade or $72 a month, on the ground that lie required the constant aid and at- tendance of another person. Mr. Davis decides that he must reject the claim for increase as the certificate of the medical examination shows that the claim- ent can walk fairly weil, dress and undress himself, and attend to all his personal wants, and he is, therefore, of the opinion that “the claimant is not in need of even frequent and periodical aid and attendance of another person within the meaning of the act of July 14, 1892." —— DESTITUTE IN CUBA. ms Dependent Upon Aty. Consul General Lee has made a report to the Secretary of State, in which he says there are 1,007 American citizens in Cuba dependent upon charitable assistance. They have been partly provided for out of the $50,000 appropriated by Congress. Of the number reported by Gen. Lee 750 are in the province of Havana, 233 in Matanzas and the remaining 604 distributed through other porticns of the island. Gen. Lee says that in making provision for the relief of these citizens more than $1,500 a week must be expended. He has drawn $25,600 of the sum appropriated, of which two-drafts for $5,000 each were drawn this month. One of the reasons assigned by Gen. Lee for the destitution among Americans in Cuba is the concentration order of Gen. peda The consul says that a been pdt al must elapse before they self-sustaining. CENTRAL GIRLS WON Carroll Institute Representatives Badly Beaten. SUPERIORITY IN TEAM WORK SHOWN A Fine Throw From the Center of the Field. CONTEST AT BaSKET BALL Ix? a game of basket ball at the Carroll Institute gymnasium, the girls of the Cen- tral High School today sustained the repu- tation of their school in athletics by ad- ministering an overwhelming defeat to a team from the Carroll Institute, the score at the end of the contest being 14 to 2 in favor of the Central young ladies. A large attendance was attracted by the announcement of the game, the first since the Eastern High School girls defeated the Central girls last spring, the great majority ot those present being high school girls, teachers and their friends. Dr. Lane, the superintendent of the high schools; Mrs. Walton, the director of physical culture in the high schools; Mr. Harry English of the faculty, who acted as timekeeper; Mr. Phil Ballinger, the manager of the Central team; Principal Hughes, Mr. Curtis of the school paper and many teachers in the public schools were seen among the spectators. Mr. Maurice Joyce, the instructor of the Carroll Institute gymnasium, who taught beth teams, umpired the game, which con- sisted of three ten-minute innings, with five-minute intermissions. The team lined up as follows: Centrals. Carroll Institute. Rechia Sanders... Center ..Mabel Babcock Kate Tyndall (c.).. R. F. Shirley Potter (c.) Alice Ruff. . L. F. ....Frances Potter Edith Gray -Helen Potter Eleanora Buynitzki Isabelle Byrn An Attractive Sight. Prior to the game Mr. Joyce carried his class of young ladies through an interest- ing athletic drill, and in connection with “Ted” Clifford, a 12-year-old boy, gave an exhibition of tumbling and vaulting, the work of the boy being remarkably clever. The young ladies were attired in dark blue or brown gymnasium suits, loose and roomy, the trousers reaching to below their knees, and they made a most attractive ap- pearance. The members of th> two basket ball teams were attired in a like manner, their hair unrestrained save by ribbons. The colors of the Central team were white and dark blue, while the Carroll Institute team carried yellow and white. Neither team had enjoyed as much prac- tice as they had desired, but when play began it soon became apparent that the team work of the Centrals was much more uniform than that of their opponents. The play of the Carrolls also indicated lack of practice together. Carrols Win the Toss, The Centrals lost the toss, the Carroils teking the western goal. The ball had been in play but a minute or two, when it was cleverly caught by Miss Tyndall,’‘who aroused the enthusiastic cries of the Cen- tral contingent by threwing goal. Then the ball traveled from one end of the fiéld” to the other, across and back, for nearly the length of the inning, when Miss Sanders won the enthusiasm of the Centrat’school by making goal by a magnificent throw from nearly the center of the field. The first inning clesed with the score 4 to 0 in favor of the Central team. During the intermission the girls drew on sweaters or coats and rested by throw- ing themselves on the floor. When play commenced in the second ianing Miss Shir- ley Potter playing center, while Miss Bab- cock went to right forward, both teams played with greater determination. But. while Miss Shirley Potter cleverly threw a goal in less than half a minute's pley her team could not overcome the lead of their opponents, who steadily increased their score. On Miss Shirley Potter's unintentional foul Miss Gray was allowed a free throw, but failed to put the ball in the ket. But Miss Tyndall, obtaining possession of it a mc ment later, threw a goal from the center of the fleld. At this point Miss Byrn gave way to Miss Hottell, and Miss Ruff almost immediately afterward awoke the. Central class cry by throwing another goal, Miss Tyndall following suit a minute late: ak- ing the score stand at the close of the sec-, ond inning 10 to 2. A Captain Retired, “ '') When play was resumed in the third inn-* ing, Miss Shirley Potter, the captain of the Carrolts, was missing, her exertions in the previous innings having compelied Her to retire. Her place was taken by Miss Byrn, who returned.to the game, and the Carrolls played desperately to reduce their oppon- ents’ lead. Yet, desperately as they strug- sled, the Carrolls could not successfully withstand the excellent team work of the Central girls, Miss Tyndall throwing two goals before the last inning closed, one from the center of the field, the final score being 14 to 2. Summary: Goals thrown—Miss Tyndall, 5; Miss Sanders, 1; Miss Ruff, 1; Miss Shir- ley Potter, 1. Goal missed from free throw —Miss Gray, 1. Final score—Centrals, 14 Carrol! Institute, 2. The members of each team played unex- pectedly well, the catching and throwing of Miss Tyndall being excellent. The inter. ference of Miss Gray was unusually clever, while the great all-around work of Miss Shirley Potter, captain of the Carrolls, did much to save her team from a shui The work of Miss Bryan was z gcod, as was that of Miss Sanders. Another Con Another game will be played between the two teams in the near future, it is ex- pected, and it is probable that it will be in the afterncon or evening, when the young ladies hope to have the boys of the high schools present, as well as their friends in general. GRANTED. Three Cases Where Marriage Proved to Be a Failure. Judge Hagner today granted a divorce to Emma T. Barnett from George A. Bar- nett, on the ground of adultery, giving her the custody of the children and granting her $25 a month alimony and $25 counse} fees. : The judge also granted a divorce to Amelia B. Collins from Stephen R. Collins, also on the ground of aduitery, granting her peermedia to resume her maiden name of Gill. Judge Cox granted Samuel A. Bradley a divorce from Annie M. Bradley, on the ground of adultery and drunkenness. saa WANTED JACK RABBITS. A Local Evangelist Sends Unique Re- quest to Gov. Leedy. ". A. Cuddy, a local evangelist, known at the Central Union Mission, has written a letter to Governor Leedy of Kansas, mak- ing a request which is unique in its line. Governor Leedy, it is stated, receives many odd requests, but the one from Cuddy was more remarkable in one sense than any other he ever received. The letter from Cuddy to the governor is as follows: “To Governor Leedy: Having read in the morning paper that, through your popu- listic idea of government, your state can afford to kill jack rabbits and ship them to the hungry victims of our present system of government, we hereby make application for a car load of those jack rabbits, as there are many poverty-stricken many of whom come from the different states of the Union, and perhaps some from Kansas, to be disappointed by not receiving positions promised in return for their votes. Not long ago one of these unfortunate men committed suicide in our city. The car load of jack rabbits might be a beginning and wake some of the well-fed at the nse of government.

Lower House of Austrian Reichsrath Dis- gi a Another Day of Tamult—Dr. Abra- hhamoVics Insulted and Pelted *SVINW Paper Ball c on VIENNA, November 27.The bear gar- den scenes in the Jower house of the reichs- rath were contigued today. When the president of the house, Dr. Abrahamovics, appeared there was a chorus of “Shame upon you” from the leftists, accompanied by a deafening noise of whistles and slam- ming of desk lids. Many of the leftists gathered in front of the president's plat- form, shouting and blowing tin trumpets and flutes, while.the president was ringing his bell for order. This scene lasted about a quarter cf an hour, during which time the president quietly remained seated. ‘Then he suspended the sitting. Pelted With Paper Ball As President Abrahamovies was ‘eaving the house a number of leftists pelted him with paper bails. Thereupon the president returned and stood unmoved, as the house Was filled with the noise caused by trumpet blowing and hand elapping upon the part of the rightists; and other disturbance. After waiting ten minutes and the uproar continuing, the president left the platform, During his absence the noise was not abated. Dr. Wolff, the German nationalist leader, and bne of the suspended members o: the house, entered about that time, but was forcibly ejected by the police, to which he offered a violent resistance. According to one account, Dr. Wolff had to be gagged and was afterward bundled into a cab and taken to a police station. At about 10:40 o'clock the vice president appeared and declared the sitting closed, adding that the date of the next session would be communicated to the members of the house by letter. Of the fifty-one persons arrested during the street demonstration here yesterday thirteen have been sent before the provin- cial tribunal, charged with causing an il- legal assemblage and with holding up the authorities to contempt. One was charged with public violence, ten were denounced to the public prose- cutor for trespassing, five will be tried for interfering with official acts, fifteen have been fined and one person has been acquit- ted. The cases of the rest have not been decided. Siate Will Not Yield. The Reichswehr today declares that yes- terday’s uproar in the lower house of the relchsrath had no connection with the campaign against the language ordinances, but was due to the action of the interna- tional social democracy, “which considers that the time Has arrived to complete its destructive work against the state and em- ire.” P Continuing. fe Relchswehr says that in view of this fact the state will not and can- not yleld.

No information has been received at the State Department in regard to the reported release of Augustin Cossio, father of Miss Evangelina Cossio y Cisneros, the Cuban refugee now in this city. It is said at the department that it is not likely they would be informed on this subject inasmuch ‘as Cossio is not a citizen of the United Stizes. ‘Miss Cisneros says she has no information of her father’s release from prison, but is prepared to believe it from the latest news She had on the subject. She says she has not been able to communicate with ‘him during his imprisonment, and bas no idea of his plans for the future. She believes, however, that he is not likely to come to the United States for the present. ° POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY. Chief Justice Bingham Will Then ntence Robert Martin, At the request of the defendant's counsel, Chief Justice Bingham today postponed until Monday the imposition of sentence on Robert H. Martin, who pleaded guilty a few days ago of the embezzlement of nearly $14,000 of the funds of the Colum- bian University, while he was the treasurer of that institution, Martin’s counsel explained to the court that they desired until then in which to secure certain Information which will, they stated, assist the court in determining what sentence to impose in the case. Martin was therefore returned to jail, ———— CHAPLAINS GOODWIN'S CASE. Charges That May Lead to a Court- Martia! Captain H. F, Picking, commanding the receiving ship Wabash at Boston, has filed at tne Navy Department against Chaplain M. M. Gecdwin of the ship named charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The charges are the result, it is alleged, of the chaplain’s having over- stzyed his leave recently and returning to the ship in a state strongly suggestive of an overinaulgence in intoxicating liquors. It is stated that Captain Picking prac- ticaJly charges the chaplain with drunken- ness on duty. Followirg the usual course in such cases, Secretary Long has referred the charges to Chaplain Gocdwin for an explanation, and the character of his reply will deter- mine the subsequent action of the depart- ment. Thenimppession at the department is that the chaplain will be tried by court- martial. Naval chaplains seldom, if ever, fall from gracéand there is no known precedent fon a ‘case like the one now un- der considerstion: Chaplain Goodwin has been in the service only a few years, hav- ing been appointed by President Cleveland in 1804. He was attached to the cruiser Columbia for several months, and was transferred ;o eit Wabash last summer. He is a native of Illinois and was appointed from that state. _ six Yearh at Hara Labor.

The news of the find was related to several friends. ‘There was no truth whatever in the state- ment that the jewelry had been pawned.
