Ives met in Central Music Hall, Chicago, last night, to battle with tne cues and ivories for the bil- liard championship of America, a purse of $5,000, and the net gate receipts. The match is at the fourteen-inch balk-line game for 4,009 points, 800 of which will be played for five consecutive nights. “Dump” Rhines officiated as referee and Charley Matthews as marker. Schaefer won the lead and played with the black, but failed to score in the first in- ning. Ives started off well with 22 scored, mostly on difficult single and double cush- fon shots. his gait, their play being labored and of the mechanical kind for nineteen innings. The wizard started the twentieth with a score of 300 to his credit. He played up 8S points with his old-time skill and ease. He caught the balls for the first time at anchor and when they broke he followed with a table nurse which kept the marker busy and ended by anchcring the ivories again. The big run of the night was made by the wizard in the twenty-first inning by a series of skillful archoring and nursing alternately. reached the hail resounded with applause. He sccred 118, missing a hard follow shot. When it came Ives’ turn to play for the twenty-sixth time he braced up against a — of 653 to 256 and started in to make a few. He piled up 77, and in the next inning beat Schaefer's high run with 130, his pia showing consummate skill, equaling his op- ponent’s best performance. These two bis runs brought Ives’ score up to 463 against 664 for Schaefer. After four small innings Ives picked up again and made the greatest run of the ame—18l—missing a simple cushion shot, but making many which brought down the bouse. Then Schaefer completed his 800 with a ren of 78. Ives’ total, 603. Schaefer's aver- age was 24.8, and Ives’ 23. ———_-e-— ELECTION FRAUD IN VIRGINIA, General Discontent at the Way the Ballots Are Counted, The Richmond Times (dem.) today prints a leading editorial in which it is declare that the white people are profoundly dis- contented with that party’s” management in Virginia. The article points to the im- mense falling off of the white vote in the last election as an indication of the truth of the assertion. “We are not prepared to say,” continues the Times editorial, “that our elections are dishonestly conducted. All that we can say is that there is a gen- eral belief all over the ite that they are, and the records furnish only too much evi dence in support of the belief.

Convicts at Melilla Show Them- selves Brave Men. — —+-__ TRAITORS TRIED BY COURTS-MARTIAL Envoys Sent to Gen. Macias Ask- ing for Peace. COMMANDER DISTRUSTFUL. LONDON, Nov. 22.—A dispatch via Mal- aga from the United Press representative at Melilla, bearing date of Monday evening, says that a hurricane had prevailed there for two days. The weather was so’ severe that it compelled a cessation of work at the forts that are being constructed by the Spaniards. The tents occupied by the troops and workmen were blown down and the camps were inundated by the floods that poured down from the mountains. The mail stedmer for Malaga was forced to put back to Melilla and remain for forty-eight hours, Notwithstanding the severity of the storm skirmishing proceeded between the Spanish forces and the Riffs. During the fighting two Spaniards were wounded by bullets falling into the camp. Bravery of Convicts. The band of thirty convicts under com- mand of Capt. Ariza, who have heretofore done excellent work in fighting the Riffs, continue to make trouble for the enemy. Every night they make sorties from Melilla and carry provisions to the outlying forts. The Riffs lie in wait for them, but the con- vict band nearly every night choose a new route and when the enemy discovers them there is no time for the Riffs to gather in force to attack them. Sometimes the con- victs go on hunts for the Riffs and kill some of them. The convicts are proving themselves experts in this guerilla warfare and are becoming a terror to the Riffs. On Monday last the convicts encountered a large body of Riffs. The former were ordered to charge upon them, and obeyed without hesitation. With fixed bayonets they rushed upon the Riffians under a heavy tire and put them to flight. One con- vict was killed and two wounded. The bra- very of this band is highly praised by the military authorities, and it is generally thought that representations will be made to the government that wili result in par- don being granted to those men. After the storm had subsided, the general operations became more brisk. Artillery Was placed in the new redoubt on the hill Santiago, which dominates the Frajana val- ley. It is believed that an advance will be made this week upon the enemy's trenches and beyond. The plan seems to be to have three battalions protected by artillery and guerrillas attempt an advance upon Riff territory, and there encamp to protect the forces employed in the construction of the fort at Sadi Guariach. Traitors in Melilla, The facts that certain persons in Melilla are giving aid to the enemy is bitterly commented upon by those who have to do the fighting. A court-martial was held on Saturday to try some of these offenders, Twelve Spaniards, in whose houses rifles that were intended for the Riffs were found, were each sentenced to six years’ penal ser- vitude, On Monday afternoon the Riffians sent an envoy to Gen. Macias, the Spanish com- mander. An inter Was granted and| the chief declared that the Riffs were! ready for peace. “He had already, he added, compelled a portion of the Riffs to cease fighting. He announced that Muley Araaf, brother of the. Sultan of Morocco, who, | with a company of cavalry, is encamped | within four hours of the Spanish lines, had, resolved to send 300 rebels to Melilla as/ prisoners, to be punished as the Spaniards pleased. Muley Araaf, he added, would) come to Melilia on Wednesday. In conclu- sion, he asked that a truce be declared un- til Saturday. Gen, Macias distrusted the envoys, and refused to grant their request. Senor Reparaz, a member of the graphical Society, has issued a pamphlet, | in which he maintains that the best policy | for Spain to pursue concerning Morocco is | to, adhere to the powers supporting the! status quo. Tangier, ’ would be Geo- to effect the conquest of Algeria and it cost her 100,000 ‘soldiers and $400,000,000, Senor Reparaz thinks that France, next to England, is the true rival of Spain in Morocco. —_—_—s EX-SECRETARY RUSK’S FUNERAL. The Ex-President and Seve Mem- > bers ef His € met to Attend. VIROQUA, Wis., Nov. 22.—The funeral | of Gen, Rusk Friday will be an imposing | one. Ex-President Harrison, ex-Secretary | Noble and ex-Attorney General Miller will surely be here and several other members of the Harrison cabinet are expected. Spe- cial trains will leave Milwaukee and Maal- | son Friday morning with people coming | to the funeral. The party from Madison will number 200, and will include Gov. Peck and all the state officials, also Wash- burn Post, G. A. R., in a body, which will act as escort at the funeral. The train from Milwaukee will probably run in two sections. It will bring Milwau- | kee city officials, members of the G. A. R. posts, Loyal Legion, of the Wisconsin Con- | sistory of Scottish Rite Masons, and a half dozen officers of the National Guard. The details of the funeral are being ar- ranged this evening by Col. T. J. Rusk, the general's son. The. services will begin at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and interment will be in the village cemetery. Aes oa HARRISON'S TRIBUTE, GEN. Ex-Secretary Rusk and Man of Broad atesmansh INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 22.—Gen. | Harrison spoke with deep feeling last even- | ing regarding the death of Gen. Rusk. He} said: “I had very little acquaintance with Gen. | Rusk prior to his going into my cabinet, though I knew he had been a brave soldier jand a Congressman of ability. As Secre- tary of Agriculture he was highly success- ful. He was a man of broad statesmanship and looked out for the greatest benefit for the whole country.

Annual Beport of the Board of Managers to the Commissioners. * Against the Placing of Children in Private Fam: The annual report of the board of manag- ers of the Industrial Home School was sub- mitted to the Commissioners today. It shows that during the year 30 inmates were admitted and 51 were discharged. Of those discharged 24 were returned to their parents and 8 were given homes in other families. Fifteen were placed in situations where they earn their own living and 4 were put to trades. The health of the in- stitution has been exceptionally good, which is due, the managers think, to the open air work given the inmates every day. The institution, the report states, has a broader and more diversified scope of-ac- tion than any organization in the District. It does not simply provide a place of refuge for dependent children, but besides giving them shelter, food and raiment, every ef- fort 1s made to train them to become ac- ceptable citizens when arriving at maturity. A common school education is given them, accompanied with moral and’ religious cul- ture. Instruction in manual labor is im- parted to inmates of suitable age and ca- pac‘ty, and the results are exceedingly gratifying. Many of the wards have been so educated m these branches that, on be- ing discharged, they have been able to pro- cure employment end fight the battle of life without assistance. The Board of Guardians. “At the last session of Congress,” says the report, “a measure was adopted which may result in withdrawing the support which the home has received from the Dis- trict of Columbia and thus lead to its sup- pression. At the previous session, by an act approved 26th July, 1892, a board of children’s guardians was created and to it Was committed the care of dependent, desti- tute, neglected, ill treated and vicious chil- dren, and at the last sésion of Congtess a considerable appropriation was made for the use of this board, while our appropria- tion was reduced 40 per cent, and @ pro- vision in the act seems to refer us to the board for aid in case of a deficiency in our fund. The board of guardians, in a report made a few months ago, intimate that they will be able to provide for all children that may reed assistance, and that it will be unnecessary henceforth to make other pro- vision for them; that is to say, it will be unnecessary to make any appropriation for our home school or other similar institu- tions. The adoption of this recommenda- tion would involve the total suppression of the home school, and we hope the Commis- sioners will consider the matter seriously before adopting it.” In conclusion the re- port says: The Placing in Private Families. “Of late years many states of our Union, as well as foreign countries, have fallen upon the plan of placing destitute and abandoned children in private families when a moderate payment will compensate for their keep while very young and where at quite un early age their services will be the equivalent for their support. The economy of this plan as compared with that of collecting them in large institu- tions, supported by the state, is really er- roneous. It is indeed no new discovery that the services of a child during its minority are fully worth its support even from the day it leaves its mother’s breast, but it was a question whether the em. ployer of such child could afford to give it not only proper food, clothes and shelter, but alse such education and training as would prepare it for the duties of life, and it was apparently a delightful surprise to those having the subject in charge to find that reputable families stand ready to take all disposable children and treat them and bring them up in every respect like their own, “Immense numbers have been cared for in this manner in the northern and western States with a minimum of cost to their treasuries, and for a time without the dis- covery of any drawback. “But latterly some feeling has been ex- elted in certain cases by the necessity of separating famtiies, parting brothers and sisters from each other and from their parents, for it is rare that more than one invaluable to England as assisting to pre-| Pratt. be placed. together in the same serve the key of the Mediterranean. it pa 3. took France, he further says, fifty years The Separation of Families. “Children, of course, recover readily from the pain of separation. Fortunately their eriefs are evanescent. But the tle that binds a mother to her offspring is the strongest that nature weaves, and sanc- tioned and strengthened as it is by divine law we must believe it was intended by the Creator for the good of his creatures and consequently should not be severed, but in the last extremity. “Our experience lends corroboration to this view. The cases we have mostly dealt with have been thos ‘dependent children,’ that is, children neith- er destitute, neglected, nor vicious, but hav- ing good mothers who would gladly support them, if able to do so, but cannot in con- quence, often, of some sudden calamity, the death or desertion of the husband, or of his drunkenness or utter worthlessness. In such cases it often happens that the necessity is only temporary; the mother can, in time, obtain remunerative employ- ment, and keep her family together, or, if relieved of the expense of some children, may support the rest: and the elder chil- dren, if kept awhile {in our institu- tion may obtain situations, and earn wages. A majority of — our chil- \a€ren have been returned to their parents, and others recorded as placed in situations to earn wages, have, we know, rejoined their families. Our principal work has been to tide over temporary difficulties and pre- serve the union of families. The Mother's The. “It has been urged that this arrange- ment enables worthless fathers to have their children supported by the public while young and useless, and to reclaim them when old enough to be profitable. ‘This may be the case sometimes, and with fathers, but we doubt that it ever occurs with moth- ers. The younger and more helpless the | child, the more loath the mother is to part with it. Our experience assures us that mothers never part with their children except when compelled to do so, and that the prospect of recovering them is a power- ful ineentive to industry, economy,, ané good conduct on the port of the mothers. “And on the other hand they regard with horror, the prospect of having their chil- dren separated from them by a judicial decree that places the little ones in charge of a government agency which may send |them to any distance and any place, and is not bound even to tell the mother where her children are, how they fare, or indeed whether they be living or dead. Such a prospec: is indeed to the mother a power- ful motive to labor to Keep her children to herself, but we cannot believe it neces- sary, nor can it be always effective. And we doubt net that many a mother, de- prived of her children by a judicial decree, es final as death itself, and really more drealful to her, since it leaves them still subject to the perils and pains of earthly istence—without her care—many a moth- case Would sink into despon- which would destroy her energy and , as well as happiness. “This view has induced certain states to |require their officials having the care of itute children to endeavor to return rents whenever this can | terday afternoon at pe |Rennert's Hotel discussing brsiness mat-| 4 ‘nin where eMibiree eae a cogaible as | It was determined that the Baltl-| 0 ine. nore, children are placed out in |more papers would, contings the’ Couted | families; for the consent of such families | s Service.

INTERESTS. OF THE DENOMINATION —_+—_—__ Reports and Addresses Fill the Time of the Second Day. SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS. The opening session of the second day of the annual meeting of the Columbia Asso- ciation of Baptist churches this morning at the Calvary Baptist Church, 8th and H streets, was attended by even a larger au- dience than marked the opening session yes- terday. In addition to the delegates repre- senting the various churches belonging to the association, the Baptists generally find these sessions of so much interest that they like to attend. While the association has a good deal of business to transact, yet the sessions are not given up to mere rou- tine matters. Tiere are discussions which are apt to be enlivened by earnest and, per- haps, witty encounters, then there are ad- dresses which are by no means dull, so that altogether the sessions are a pleasant blending of business with a proper degree of retreation. As the association each year shows a marked advance in efficiency it is evident that the .methods employed are productive of the best results. At the session this morning there were reports made and other business transacted. Then an address was listened to from Rev. Mr. Bryan, a former missionary in China, and his address differed from #«;ood many missionary efforts in being instructive and at the same time able to command the at- teation of the audience. Pleasant fraternal addresses were made by visiting brethren from the Maryland As- sociation. Tracts and Bibles. The session this morning was opened with devotional exercises which were con- ducted by Rev. H. T. Stevefison, the pas- tor of Anacostia Church. The importance and value of the tracts which are printed was emphasized in the report of the committee on Bible and tract distribution, which was read by the chair- man, Rev.Green Clay Smith. It was recom- mended that a better system be adopted by the churches, in order to make this class of literature more available. Efforts to enlarge the distribution of the Bible were urged, and in discussing the re- port Mr. Z. Richards expressed the opinion that people should be made interested in the book and thus its distribution would be facilitated. He thought that even among Christian people there was a lack of intelli- gent reading of the Bible—a reading which carried with it an understanding of its meaning. The report was adopted. The straitened financial condition of the Baptist Home was plainly set forth in a re- port which was read by Rev. Dr. Stakely| in the absence of Mr. J. J. Darlington, the) president of the board. ‘The difficulties the | home had’to encounter in raising funds to pay off a note of $3,000, deferred purchase money for the property now occupied by the home, was recounted. As a result of | appeals to the churches the sum of $1,023) was secured and the balance of the debt | was paid from the treasury, which left it entirely empty. Even then enough money | Was not available and the residue was paid | by the former president, Mr. Henry Beard. | At present there is a deficiency of $633 and | no money on hand to buy fuel and other | supplies for the winter. In spite of the! financial difficulties, the record for the year past, the report states, is one that gives cause for much thankfulness. Reference Was made to the loss of the services of Mr. Henry Beard, the president of the home who resigned on account of his health, The bequest in the will of Mrs. Susan Fitzgerald of houses 407 and 460 Sth street northeast was thankfully mentioned. It Was stated that Mrs. Fitzgerald was not a Baptist, but her gift was entirely due to her great interest in the home and the use- ful work it was doing. The year, the report adds, has not been one of unrelieved financial disaster or de-| pression. On the contrary, viewed as a whole, it marks a substantial advance in the material prosperity of the home. The report was adopted. Firing at Short Range, Rev. R. T. Bryan, formerly a missionary at Shanghai, China, connected with the foreign mission board of the Southern Bap- Uist convention, was invited to deliver an address. He prefaced his remarks by re- questing those present to come forward and occupy the front seats, He said that while he was in China he went hunting with Chinese powder and discowered the advantages of firing at short range. A hymn was sung, and upon its conclusion a larger proportion of the audience was near | the pulpit than in the vicinity of the doors. The speaker seemed to be gratified by this change and plunged at once into his speech, which described at the outset the greatness and the wealth of the Chinese empire. In his opinion, if there was ever a race conflict in this world it would be between the Mongolian and the European. The former were ready to conquer the world with a rice bowl and chop sticks, The meaning of this phrase was explained | to be that the Chinese by their economies were able to live where other nationalities would starve. In reference to the work of missions, he said that a great change had taken place in recent years in the particular that the, missionaries instead of being restricted to a tew places were now given greater lib- erty of access throughout the empire. H * He spoke of the results in mastering the| native language and in cultivating a taste) for music on the part of the natives. The | work of preaching, distributing the Bible | and tracts was commented on. | The speaker said that he prepared tracts | on special subjects, and at one time during | a drought he got out a tract entitled “How | to make rain,” which consisted mainly of | verses from the Old Testament, where! drought is spoken of as a punishment for | idol worship. The Chinese, he said, at} times grew so desperate over the continued | lack of rain that they would bring their| idols out of the temples and expose them, to the hot sun, so that the gods would be| made uncomfortable and become convinced | that it was time for rain. He said that the Baptist Church was do- ed with other denominations that he felt as Dr. Hatcher talked recently before | the board, when he said that either more should be done or else the foreign field ought to be abandoned. The speaker stated that the attitude of the people toward the missionaries had chat.ged materially and there was now but little of the ignorant | prejudice which formerly hampered the | werk. He spoke of the progress made in | Christianizing China and said at the ratio | which existed between the present and the | past condition of the work that in a few years there would be no more to convert in_the flowery kingdom. The audience smiled when this conclu- and the speaker went on | to say that the reaping of the harvest was already great and would in the future be still more abundant. He expressed the | opinion that while a legiglative wall might | he constructed to keep the Chinese out of | this country, still the Chinese influence was bound to come in. This influence was | heathen and it was the duty as well as the | Christian, Fraternal Greetings, Upon the conclusion of the address, which was delivered with great earnestness and force, the moderator called attention to the presence of a number of visiting brethren and spoke of the cordial greeting which the association desired to welcome them. Rey. F. M. Ellis of the Maryland Baptist Union Association was invited to speak and made an earnest address. He was followed by Rev. O. F. Gregory of the same association, who gave statistics of the progress of the Maryland churches, He said that there were some 12,000 Baptists in Maryland. . Other members of the Maryland Associa- tion present were: H. W. Kemp, S. R. White and W. C. Ruggles.

An invitation was received from the ex- ecutive committee of the Alumni Associa- tion of Columbian University inviting the delegates to attend a reception given this evening at the university building. The association then adjourned for lunch. Sunday School Work. The afternoon session was devoted to hearing the report on Sunday schools pre- pared by Mr. P. H. Bristow. the superin- tendent of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school. The session this evening will be devoted to the same interesting theme. In the report from the Calvary Baptist Church yesterday it was stated that an effort was made on January 1 last to pro- vide the funds necessary to enlarge the ca- pacity of the church edifice: to build a new Sunday school building for the home school; a new house for the Kendall chapel branch church and to extend the work of the Me- morial chapel, resulted fh securing subscrip- tions to the amount of $157.000. The Sunday school building is now under roof. The Executive Board Report. As stated in yesterday’s Star, the report of the executive board, the chief executive body of the association, was made at the afternoon session. It reviewed the work in connection with the various mission enterprises sustained and encouraged by the association, stated that a review of the work of the year justifies the conclusion that some substantial advance has been made. It was recommended that the South- ern Baptist convention be invited to hold its sessions in this city in INW5. The report of the board was further considered at the ‘evening session, and was adopted, with the exception of the recommendation inviting the Southern Baptist convention to meet here in 18%. This latter was referred to a special committee, with direction to re- port at a-subsequent session. -— _ HAYES’ CHARGES SUSTAINED. Progre: of His Fight on General Master Workman wderly. According to the Philadelphia Times to- day, yesterday’s session of the general as- sembly, K. of L., at Philadelphia, was a scene of defeats for Mr. Powderly. The morning session opened with lively skir- mishes between the two factions over mo- tions by the Powderlyites that certain documents be referred to certain commit- tees without being read to the convention. Many of the documents were resolutions from district assemblies. protesting against | the actions of the executive beard, and the delegates presenting them protested vigor- ously against their reference without a reading to Powderly’s committees. The} question was put to a vote of the conven- tion, and the demand that the documents be read was carried by three to one. This vote was the first feeling of the pulse of the delegates, and was a victory for the Hayes faction. Venturing a trifle further, the Powderly faction moved that certain unimportant committee reports favorable to Powderly be accepted. The opposition delegates vigor- ously declaimed against this, and demand- ed that the matters be referred back to the committees for further consideration. Upon a decisive vote they were referred back, the anti-Powderlyites thus scoring a second victory. Then came the battle royal of the morn- ing session upon the question of whether Hayes’ charges against the executive board should be discussed by the convention. The debate was very acrimonious. It was de- cided to defer the matter until after the finance committee’s report. As the Powder- ly opponents knew what that report was | to be the deferring of this matter was another anti-Powderly victory. Hayes’ Charges Suastnined. The finance committee's report upon Hayes’ charges followed, and proved to be the surprise of the convention, a committee of Powderly’s own choosing sustaining the secretary-treasurer’s charges. The report cpened by complimenting Hayes in his ca- pacity as secretary-treasurer, and for the correctness of his books and financial ac- counts, and declaring that the books would do credit to any banking institution in the land. Besides sustaining Hayes’ charges against | Powderly, A. W. Wright and Devlin of | financial’ mismanagement and __reckless- | nes misappropriation of funds, &c., the committee added a charge of its own to the | effect “that the examination of the books | trikers three | ears ago, amounting to $15,000, was used | up in the salaries of the executive board.” The report went on to state that the books showed that not one doilar of the fund was used for the benefit of the strikers. The reading of this statement elicited a general howl, and delegates looked at each other with scowling faces and whispered their determination to put a finish to the | printed copy placed in the hands of each Upon this motion was fought the battle of the day, and the vote is said to have been a test one,showing the relative strength of the factions.

Powderly’s Waterloo. It was said last evening In Philadelphia, Says the Times, that Powderly never be- fore met such a Waterloo as his series of defeats of yesterday. “For years,” said a delegate, ““Powderly has been a dictator. No matter how bitter tne fight against him he has always been able, by throwing his individuality into the fight, to turn the tide. Heretofore when, with all the eloquence at his command, he would appeal to the assembly and say, ‘T want you to do this or that,” the delegates would go with him. Yesterday he appeal- ed again and again futilely. As the day wore on and vote after vote went against him, he became downcast and gloomy. He was outvoted and beaten on parliamentary tactics. No one knows, though, what the wily schemer will concoct tonight.” It was evident that Powderly’s adherents shared his chagrin, and that there was disposition on their part to abandon the fight was shown by the fact that three Powderly delegates, one from Nebraske, one from Colorado, and one from either the Indian Territory or California, gave up the battle and left for home. Denial That Hayes Was Sustained. While the Times’ report of the meeting says that the finance committee sustained Hayes’ charges, other accounts say that Powderly was sustained. The Inquirer says: The anxiously looked for report of the fin- ance committee was submitted to the as- sembly yesterday afternoon, and it is un- derstood that it proved to be a complete vindication of the general master workman from the charges cf misappropriation of funds. The paper is a very Hengthy one and exonerates Powderly and the members of the general executive board not only of ary dishonesty, but of misapplication of moneys belonging to the order. It shows that the Coeur d’ Alene and Homestead funds were in the main devoted to the pur- pose for which they were collected. What money was not used to feed the strikers was sent to Pittsburg to defend Dempsey and other leaders of the Homestead troubles during their trials for conspiracy. That part of the document which deals with the salaries of the officers shows, it is said, that while Secretary-Treasurer Hayes has re- ceived all there was due him, month by month up to date, all the others have bal- ances to their credit, running in some in- stances from several hundred dollars to above a thousand. The Philadelphia Press account is similar to chat in the Inquirer. Regarding Hayes the Inquirer says: He did not present his tion, as many of the assembly confidently expected he would. He, however, withdrew his charg- es of misappropriation of funds Powderly and the general committee as was anticipated, and after that the Powder- ly upholders grew even more confident than they have been. Hayes’ withdrawal of the charges was just in time, for late in the afternoon the finance committee, brought in its report, which not only placed those accused in a good light, but also helped their cause considerably. The finance com- mittee’s report was written and it will be printed and placed in the hands delegate today for consideration tion. It was stated that the report exonerated Powderly and the members the board of the charges of misappropria- tion and dishonesty. It was recommended by the finance come Where Haman Investigation Stops.
