of Omaha, who has plac ed third ba-e for
the New York Amerleii-1 I.ragne club with !
success, ha.4 been traded to the ft. I.otils
Americans for Iftirlxell.
The management of the IllghlandPrs bp
lleves that third bsse will be well handled
this ypar or Autttn wouift not bavp been
sent to the Rrowns.
I'artxell has, played third for ft. I.ouls,
sntl with some cleverness. On the whole
he has not played the position with as
much accuracy and with the same ability
to cover ground as has been Indicated by
AuHtin.
While the skill of Austin had been put
to tho test and well proved on more deca
slons than one. It Is prettv Fafp to tay
that none of his friends In New York ever
really saw the young man's ability so Well
demonst-ated last season as It was In the
post series season with the Giants.
It Is not necessary to state that bis work
was so fast and of such certainty that It
w6n admiration for him In more than one
quarter where be had been considered an
average player. Pome of the hot shot which
be handled In that series was handled so
well that Austin became a factor among
third basemen of the American league.
He la not a strong batter, yet he has im
proved since he has been in New York,
and more than once Inst year a timely hit
by the little fellow had a favorable bear
ing on a game in which the Highlanders
were concerned, fiia batting Is something
which he can Improve, and with his per
sistence he Is likely to develop Into a cap
ital player for the Ht. I.ouls club, which
assuredly needs strengthening.
Taporte has also been transferred to the
8t. Ionls club. It la rather certain that he
will play second for the Browns, and with
Austin at third and Wallace at short St.
Ixuls will enter the race of 19U better
equipped than when the season began la
1310.
Despain Has Offer
for Lincoln Team
Oklahoma City Makes a Tempting Bid
to Move the Team to That
City.
LINCOIJs', Feb 20 (Special. )-Don Des
pain, owner of the Lincoln base ball team
of the Western league' Is considering a
proposition received from Oklahoma City
of f 14,000 bonus to move himself and his
team from IJneoln to that city. The offer
Is that Mr. Despain will still own and con
trol the team, moving it Intact to that
city. It la understood that a similar offer
for about one-half the amount was made to
St. Joseph for the team of that town, but
was turned down.
Pa Rourke, when asked about the matter,
said that while the magnates were In ses
sion at St. Joseph a similar offer was re
ceived, but It was not even considered at
tha meeting.
It will require the consent of all the
towns In the. Western league before -the
transfer can be made and Mr. Rourke saya
he does not think the owners will consent
to sea Lincoln go, as It la considered a
pretty good ball town.
"We might consider a proposition to
transfer from one of the weaker towns,
however," said Mr. Rourke. "The change
to that city would make a great deal ad
ditional mileage for all the teams In the
league."

THINKS CANADA HAS BARGAIN
Enflsh Banker Says Reciprocity Will
Stimulate Trade.
GOOD FOE BRITISH INTERESTS
Will Help Make More Solid Seeorltles
Aaalast Hklck Large la.
vestmeats Have Bees
Made.
OTTAWA. Ont.. Feb. !n.-That Canada
bus a good bargain In the reciprocity j
iitreerr.ent with the I'nited States and
that It vill stimulate rather than check
the Inratment of British capital In tne,
Dominion Is the opinion of A. M. Orenfell,
son-in-law of Earl Orey, the governor gen
eral, and a leading' English banker with
Canadian eonnectlnna.
In a cable message from Tjondon which
reached herp today. Sfr. Grpnfpll Is quoted
a giving ' the following interview on
reciprocity.
"From my recent trip to Canada k I am
convinced Canadians fully rpalirp that
prorrrpas and prosperity have accrued to
Canadian manufacturing and agriculture
Industries from cheap money sent out n
rate of more than ..0nn.on0 a year by Eng
lish Investors. .
"I am confident the first thing taken
Into consideration by the Canadian mln's
tri would be whelhpr this reciprocity sr
rnneement with the Cnlted Plates mlaht
affect securities against whir these large
investments have been made.
Advantage to Canada.
"I believe It will prove of Inestimable
advantage to Canada. Creat material ben
efls will be derived by the whole Dominion
In both agricultural and manufacturing In
dustries from the opening of American
markets.
"The future prospprlty of Canada must
be largely based on tho soundness of ag
ricultural Industry and the enhanced value
of western farm lands that will result from
reciprocity wPI mean greater prosperity to
English Investors. The new markets that
reciprocity will open ,to the farmers of the
west will cause greater, demands for the
products of the factories of the eaat.
"Canadian statesmen have taken advan
tage of the situation. It appears to me they
have secured splendid ternia for Canada tn
exchange for giving Americans what Amer
icans could have taken for themselves at
eny time by simply lowering their tariff
wall without asking permission from
Canada."
It is probable now that the Canadian
premier. Sir Wilfrid Laurler. will address
the parliament cn the reciprocity with the
United States before the week Is over. The
question. Its supporters assert, is being
befogged In Canada by artificial alarms
raised over annexation utterances,' by
comments from the British presa foreshad
owing the curtailment of the British pref
erence and by fears of the manufacturers
that the next step In reciprocity . will ex
tend to'' factory output. -
Unless the situation clears itself natur
ally within the next few days, he will en
deavor to put disturbed mlnda at rest by
an authoritative repudiation of the ulter
ior designs with which the Canadian and
American governments are being credited
by opponents of reciprocity In Great Britain,
the United States and Canada.
B!r Wilfrid will reaffirm the government
declaration that the agreement Is a trade
bargain pure and simple and that Its con
sequences, will not In any way tend to pro
mote annexation to the United States or
result In the weakening of British connec
tions. , ' . , i
Although the opposition In parliament is
showing more confidence In their criticism
of the measure, there is no sign of any
weakening of support among , the liberal
members, the nervousness shown for a
day or two when the annexation Issue was
first raised having disappeared. ,
The whips' list of speakers are lengthen
ing, and it Is doubtful If the vote will be
reached In parliament for a fortnight.
Aastrallaa Premier's Views.
MELBOURNE, Australia. Feb. M.
Andrew Fisher, tha premier of Australia
in an interview is quoted as saying that
If any scheme of Inter-domlnion preference
waa extended outside the limits of the em
pire the first step would be to do what
Canada has already done.
This was to enter Into reciprocal arrange -
ments with a people akin to themselves.

MADERO SAYS HE WILL WIN
Rebel Leader Gives Out Interview
from Mountain Camp.

' ETj PAPO, Tex.. Feb. M. -Francisco I.
Madero. In his camp back in the mountains,
twenty-odd miles, south of Quadaloupe, Chl
hauhau, Mex.. gave an interview today. In
which he declared the opportune time had
arrived for him to enter Mexico and that
he had entered to stay with his soldiers
until the fight is won. He also made plain
his attitude on the liquor question, elections
In Mexico, treatment of trusts and Ameri
cans, discussed Mexican Illiteracy and other
matters. The Interview was obtained by
T. G. Turner and afterward read and ap
proved by Count C. F. Z. CaracrlMl of
Austria, a personal friend of the Mexican
provisional president.
Of ultimate victory he expressed himself
as confident, bis chief hope being based on
public sympathy. Ideals and liberty which
the rebels are fighting for cannot fall to
triumph, he said.
"There is the quality of our aoldlera.
aside from their) spirit. Only the large
cities are under absolute control of the
government. Our men largely come from
Ihe country. They are men who know how
to shoot and how to adjust themselves to
campllfe; how to fight.
"Our tactics will be changed. We are
trong enough . to rely more on mussed
movements, with a more perfect unity of
command. Before we met the enemy with
one of our men to ten of theirs; now we
will be able to fight on more so,ual grounds
and fight our . battles to . definite con
clusions." '
Referring to his movements, he said:
"In the United States It was best that
I remain Incognito until proper time. I
fnerely waited vinttt It was decided by
the development of affairs what should be
the atrateglo center. Then I entered the
field In company of my army. Now 1 will
lead them." ' .
Of the rebel fighting forces, he had this
to say: ...
"Up to January. lfl we had 8,400 in all
Mexico, armed and In the field. Of theae
1,500 were In the state of Chihuahua Up
to January 28. the most recent estimate, we
had an increase In Chihuahua of 1.0C0 men.
Now we will be able to fight a battle, as
the Americans aay, to the finish."
