brother to Francisco I. Madero, leader of the revolutionary forces in Mexico, summed up to-night the latest aavices irom tne iront, "Ail the news received to-day." he con tinued, "both that contained in the press dispatches and in our private advices, we construe as highly favorable to our cause. but It seems to us an error in Btrategy that the Federal forces were allowed to advance by rail on Juarez when It was In the power of the revolutionists to cut Estimate of Forces. Senor Madero now estimates the total Federal forces in the State of Chihuahua at 4,000, and the rebel forces at "The Government," he said. "has.

"In my estimate of tha present situation, it must not be forgotten that hitherto, with the Mexican Central Railroad in Government control and the news under rigid censorship, it has been possible to Keep up an appearance oi tranquility in the North for tha rest of the country. But now that the railroad Is blocked, the people say: "That must be more than a nest of hornets-' If Juarez falls, the moral effect will be' Incalculable.

"Diaz will never live to see his armies triumphant, lit Juarez holds out it will be for us only a retreat into the mountains, into country every Inch of which is friendly to us and bitterly hostile to a pursuing enemy. Even If the revolution were held In the North it would take years to subdue it with all the forces the ijoverament -can command. Rebel Force Strontr.

Ono more State, he savs. is openly disaffected, and in still another 'something grave" has happened, news of which the Government has succeeded thus far In keeping bottled up. He counts the following States in the insurrecto column: Chihuahua. Sonora.

Coahulla. Duranm. Zacatecas, Vera Cruz, Pu'ebla and Oaxaca. San Luis Potoil seems to be disaffected, and Senor Madero suspects that more has been going on In Tamaullpas than has yet come out Thus. It may be seen, according, to Madero, that the revolution scattered through three parts of the -country the northern border States, from the Pacific coast to Neuva Leon on the Atlantic; the central States of Zacatecas, Durango and San Luis Potosl.

Gen. James Allen, chief of that branoh ot the service, and Maj. Gen, A SPECIAL. from Los Angeles, says: What's the difference between a week-old wobbly Jersey calf and the Chicago Cub3? Which would- you rather have? The love and affection of 100,000 Chicago baseball fans or the knowledge that a big fat-legged horse will not die of colic? It might not take you long to decide ana Frank Chance would not rexiulre any more time either, for If these questions were passed up to him he 'would probably put bis arms around the calf and the horse.

When the writer went out to see Cliance at his home place near Glendora the first person In view was a corduroy rancher kneeling In the middle of the main street in that little country town. He was beside an auto, pulling an oil can out of a box and no one in Chicago would have known him. He was the peerless leader of the Cubs. Chance was pouring oil Into his auto, and from his actions and manner It was an even-money bet lie didn't know where Chicago was and didn't care. "I get all the noise and heat I want back there in the summer time." he re plied In answer to one of my queries aoout the comparative life in Chicago and Glendora.

"I don't want to go back and I wouldn't it I could help It. but I'm still under a two-year contract with Murphy and I win oe tnero when tne boll Hugs, aay, bv the wav. von hnar fl lnt ahout MumhV being a quarrelsome man, but he Is the nest man 1 ever saw to work under, tie allows me to do what I think best and he doesn't bother me.

"Well, suppose," Chance was asked, "that some day Murphy should say: Tm com, my bojv but I've got a flue oITer to you off to New Orleans for a crack young "Murphy never will tell me that," put In Frank, "for I will just rush up to htm, grab his hand and tell him am awfully sorry, but I have just received word that some of the oraiuya trees look pale, and I'll get out of Chicago on the nrst train.

Stelnfeldt has got to show me a lot this year to stick, fur ho played bad ball last season.

Same pitchers and same everything to start with, anyway. Murphy has a lot of new ones, of course." Brown and Overall. "How about this tale that Overall and Brown do not intend to play any more ball?" Chance laughed and replied: "Mrs. Chance got a letter from Mrs. Overall the other jjay in which she said that Orrie and Brown wero working their arms a little every day and would be there as usual when the big bell rang." "What was the matter wich Kllng last year?" know," Chance replied, "but he was not there In catching and could not hit.

Archer Is a better catcher at that, and he did great work. He's a perfect thrower, and picks them off the bases, and that Is what counts. One- of the big managers did not- want him because he did not. take a step when he threw the boll. He asked me one day if I cared how he threw the ball and I didn't care a long as he got 'em.

He is a grand one and the best I ever saw, and he did much to win the games we won last year. "We had awful-luck last year, for Reul-bach had diphtheria and Overall's arm was Bore. Richie and Cole were our mainstays. Then I got sick and Evers broke his ankle, but I guess he will be all right this year, for I hear he Is doing ice skating back East.

Our team last was no team at all, and New York s-hould have beaten us easily. We won a lot of games for earlier pennants with sacrifice hits, antl that was, what they last year. When I saw my pitchers were weak, I told the boys to play hit and run and slam the ball out, and by this Bcheme we generally got so far In front at the start the other teams could not catch us. That's the way we won the National League pennant, but when we went against Philadelphia our pitchers were all in. Still, I think wia win the National League pennant again, with all our bad luck.

last year." "Say, Chance," I asked, "show me that ball park that you have laid out on the ranch to work out your young pitchers on." "That's all bunk," laughed Chance. "Do you suppose I would grub, out orango trees worth 55,000 or flO.000 an acre Jast to make a ball ground to practice on two weeks 7" ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF OFFICIAL SCORERS There are. thliura to be said on both sides ot the proposition to keep secret from players and public the Identities, of official baseball scorers. The right kind of a scorer probably would do his work better and with more uniform Judgment If he wero not immediately compelled to defend it from objections made by disinterested parties who disagreed or by interested parties seeking to Influence his Judgment in their own or someono else's favor, says tho Chicago Tribune. The wrong kind of a scorer would have opportunity to "shado" the official record, to the advantage of a favorite player or against ono whom he disliked.

This he could do, if unknown, and escape tho detection that is inevitable when his scores are published and open to Inspection by nil. Unless tho major leagues took care to select the right kind of scorers the policy of secrecy might defeat it chief end. This objection does not outweigh the good features of tho plan, "because there are more hasoball scorers of. tho right kind than of the wrong sort. It might he beneficial if tho official scorers were appointed by the president of each league, and known only to himself and his secretary, even the club owners being kept In thff dark.

That Is not likely to be adopted, as club owners seem to like to keep the choice in their own hands. An argument In favor of secrecy would be that it would discourage to a small extent betting at ball games because when a baso lilt Is in dispute the wage layers want the official scorer's decsion, and that could not be obtained. It would have a more markedly deterrent effect on the offering of prizes for home runs and such like. It may seem at first flash that there can he no difference of opinion concerning such a palpable thingxas a home Often there is a decided difference of opinion, unless the hit goes over the fence. The present systom destroys individual opinion in many cases, because scorers dislike, to depart from tho official decision on a matter of some importance, as that decision alone counts in tho official records of the game.

If the official scorer's opinion could not be obtained, as such, individuality would be encouraged.

OVER 450 MEN ON THE ROLL WHV more than 50 ballptayers are carried on the ineligible of the minor leagues is a questlcn which has been asked Secretary Farrell. of the Sallonai Association, by the National In an effort to mitigate which, it is believed, have beeit imposed on young ballplayers' by selfish club owners. Chairman Herrmann, of the National OommlEsiv-n.

has asked the secretary of the minor league body invesiigate and furnish the commission with the reaion for the existence of such an extensive Ineligible army of players. The commission wants to know the offense for which each player was suspended, the date cf the suspension and the status of the player when declared Ineligible. It wants to know whether each player was a member of the ciub which suspended him when he was suspended; whether his services were purchased or if ho was a free agent when he became entangled In the meshes of organized baseball; whether he ever was under oon. tract to the dub which suspended him or was tricked Into suspension by the "terms accepted" route and merely fallud to report.

It is the purpose of the commission to ascertain ir unnecessary hardshms are being Inflicted on comparatively unknown playtra by minor league club owners, thereby keeping them from developing into good players by barring them from organ. zed oasebajl.

But if it is found that players are unjustly prevented from playing ball through trickery or for no other than their own Ignorance of baseball laiw Is purposed to dtiJL'lare such players free agents, eligible to play baseball with wnaui they please. The facts on which this action was based have been coralled by A J.

His search of tha records revealed the fact that some minor league clubs are carrying fifteen or more player. on tnetr inengiDie usls in utiaiuun to uta limit allowed for reserved players.

Invariably the figures read J300.00O, which Isn't far from the correct notch when one considers conditions attending the upkeep of 600 players throughout a season of approximately six weeks.

Pay checks will be conspicuous by their absence during the spring campaign. On the contrary, the players will draw no salary until April 15, as stipulated in their contracts. Advance money can be drawn, however, by those who respond to the eariy beck and call of each manager, for it usually is the case that athletes burst upon the scene sans spending money after the long winter lay-off.

On account of. the recent rising for opossum skins 'in Australia, because of their large export, csixaliy to the United States, much attention is now being given to the lupins opossums for their fur or. tlinlmrvil sections of Australian farms.

Severn; periments of this sort have already tried profitably. It Is apparent that tiio future demund for Australian opossum skins can only he met by carefully breeding these animals commercially. In most narts of Ausrrn- llavwhich are readily -accessible to trappers, the opossum Is now appi-oach ng extinction, so persistently have they been nunieo. ior tneir skips, ana so easily are they trapped. Moreover, irreat dpsfi-nrtlnn has been wrought among them by poisons intended for rabbits.

In districts where they are most abundant men engaged in opossum hunting can usually earn us much as $200 a month during the winter, or for about five months of tho year. riuaieis in aucii uistricts nun great difficulty In obtaining hibor while the onos- sura season is. on, as men do not care to couuuue me orainary on the farm. when, with lens inhn, can make so much larger returns. DIVORCEES BARRED THERE.

(February Munsey.) The lata Sir Henry Irving was several times invited by King-Edward when i-nnce Wales, to dine at Marlborough House. But, although honored by the crown with knighthood In token of ap preciation of his art yet ho died without ever having attained the distinction of presentation at court, owing to the ruio, dating from hundreds 0f years ago, which vain um menuel a yt Hit tneatrical profession. Among tho obstacles which It necessary to enumerate is that of divorce. The fact that a woman has ligured In a divorce suit, either as Plaintiff or as defendant, renders her presentation at any European court a matter of extreme diili-culty. During the reign of Queer, Victoria, the only divorcee whom she permuted to appear at court was the present Duke of Marlborough's mother, the Marchioness of Blandford, whom she had known from ohlldhood, and for whose matrimonial unhappinees she manifested the most profound sympathy.

All other divorced women were excluded, no matter how blameless their conduct and how imperative the conditions that compelled them to seek dissolution of their marriage. A WILLING WITNESS. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army. Gen. Allen said to-day that both Gen.
