SPORTING Four Eastern lea^ie base AFFAIRS ball games were declared illegal by P. T. Powers, president oi the league, who thus sustains the pro test of the Toronto club that tViort- stop McMillan, formerly of the Brook lyn National league club and now with Cincinnati, had no right to play In them. The games must be played off on the same gHiunds on w«ich they were first played. They are: Montreal at Toronto, June 6, 7 and 8. Montreal won at Rochester, and in the series palyed at Toronto Roches ter took two and Toronto one. Friends of William J. Clothier, the national lawn tennis champion of 1906, learned that he is dangerously ill with typhoid fever and will be un able to compete at Newport this sum mer.

Expenditures by the Last American Congress. More than a billion dollars was ap propriated at the present session of CMi»ftre»8, if continuing appropriations arc inc:c)rporat.e<f in the totals of the general appropriation measures. Definite figures concerning the ap propriations will be issued from the housG and senate committees within a few^ days. Insofar as the figures could be obtained, from measures wb^ch underwent changes in the last hours of the session, the total of the appropriations exclusive of continu ing appropriations was $894,080,943. The amount of the continuing appro priations for the last fiscal year was about $160,000,000. It is safe to say that it will not be less for the next flacal vear, and the grand total there fore will aggregate at least $1,$54,- 0U«.00ft. The appropriation measures for the fiscal years 1909-10, exclusive of con tinuing appropriations, carried $883,- 918.i? i.'>, while those of the fiscal year ol 1908-09 carried $854,208,248. The boasts of congressional leaders that tully $50,000,000 would be saved in tbri appropriations for the next fis*. cal year were not realized. STORY OF PROSPERITY. More Money Earned by Georgia Railroads Than Ever Before. A glance at the advance sheets of the report of the Georgia Railroad Commission, now in the presr, shows that the railroads of the state earned more money during the last fiscal year than in any year during their history. The same story of prosperity is told, by the Returns from all classes of public utility corporations. Railroad mileage increased; cotton compresses made nearly a half million dollars; street railway, light and'power com panies have made $2,600,000. The telephone companies made practically $1,000,000 over and above their operating expenses. Every indication points to the fact that the wheels of industry are whir ring faster than ever, that railroad construction work is being resumed at a rapid rate and that improve ments and betterments are fast being mado.
