The game of base ball yesterday after- roon at National Park between the Wash- ington and Louisville clubs was a sad, sad blow to the enthusiastic fans, for their ardor was suddenly and effectually chilled when the tables were turned, so to speak, cn the home team. During the first two innings matters were awfully easy for Washington and equally hard for Louis- ville. In fact, the spectators settled back, rather disappointed at the prospect of a crushu.g walkover at the expense of the Colonels. But it was not to be. McGunnigle’s men pulled together toward the close, made a Garrison finish, overcame a big lead and Won out with two runs to spare. Jimmy Rogers, formerly of Washington, was much in the game. Jack Crooks, however, did not play, but Kept tab on the turnstile. There were several new faces noted among the visitors, among them being Al. Johnson, the captain and second baseman of the Augusta, Me., club, who was signed by Louisville yesterday. Wrig- ley covered second for Washingten, and although guilty of one error accepted the other nine chances that passed his way in_good style. Washington took the initiative in the matter of run getting in the first inning. Lush tapped one of Mr. Herman's curves for a hit, but the next two batters, De Mentreville and Selbach, proved easy outs. McGuire, Smith, Wrigley and Brown, how- ever, each sent out a hit, and when the inning was ended the record was four runs and five hits. Another run was scored in the second by means of a base oa balls to Lush, a steal and a single by De Montreville. Washington's final run happened in the sixth, when Lush singled, stole second, went to third on an error and asain crossed the plate on a safe drive by De Montreville. Louisville, in the third, yawned and stretched a litde. Herman reached first on an error by DeMontreville, Dexter hit for a base, and McCreary followed with a three-bagger, scoring two runs. The Colo- nels passed every deal thereafter until the seventh, when Clingman propelled the ball into the right-field bleachers and made the circuit at his leisure. It was in the eighth, though, that the men from Kentucky waxed unduly familiar with the delivery of Pitcher German. With two out, Rcgers was hit by a pitched ball, and perhaps right there the game was lost, or won, ac- cording to which side you happened to be reoting for. Pickering and Dolan each sin- gled, and with the bases full, Clingman, who was responsible for the home run in the preceding inning, drove out a two-bag- ger, scoring Rogers and Pickerin, and landing Dolan on third. “Fog Horn” Mil- ler was sent to bat in place of Johnson, and the move proved a wise one. Miller hit to left, and the two runners tallied. ‘The lead Was increased to eight in the ninth on a single by Clark and Rogers’ corking three- base hit over Tom Brown’s head. Iz the fourth inning Washington had three men left on bases. Umpire Lynch mate his first appearance in Washington after an absence of three years, and his work was faultless. The only striking feature of the game was the appeacance of Manager McGunnigle in uniform. While on the coach line his voice persisted in cracking, much to the amusement of the spectators.

Louisville again today. Mercer will probably pitch, and Wash- ington should win. The “three cheers for Louisville” fan was very much in evidence. They say in Philadelphia that, strictly speaking, Umpire Lally is not a la-la. A year ago today Washington had lost one more game. Baltimore still holds the lead in batting, with a percentage of .21L It {s rumored that Cleveland has offered Louisville McAllister and Blake for Dexter. Uncle Anson predicts that Cincinnati wili be out of the race for the Temple cup with- in a week. Arthur Irwin, ex-manager of the New Yorks, is to be manager of the Milwaukees next season. The Clevelands have won eight out of eleven games from the Baltimores this sea- son. The twelfth game was a tle. Cincinnati has finally broken the ice. If the Reds want a piece of that Temple cup money, they will have to keep on breaking it untli the close of the season. Jennings leads the league in batting, with a percentage of .402, Burkett being second, with a percentage of .391, eleven points back of Jennings. It 1s a remarkable coincidence that the greatest team that Cincinnati ever had was Harry Wright's champions of '69, and that 69 Is the figure that threatens to an- chor this year’s team outside the Temple cup money.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Cincinnati club {s trying to purchase the release of Pitcher Nops of the Wilming- ton team of the Atlantic League. Dwyer is Cincinnati's winning twirler. Of the thirty-two games in which he has Participated he has won twenty-four. He has hit only seven men and has made five wild pitches. He generally gets touched for ten hits in a game, but they are well scattered. When Buck Ewing's team made its big splurge everybody seemed to think that it was the greatest team on earth; at least, everybody outside of Baltimore and Cleve. land. But now the club is rapidly finding its own level, and there are many ready to acknowledge that Lally and great good luck formed a big figure in the boom of the Reds.—Pitisburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Some miserable hoodlum on the bieach- ers, who was displeased with one of Um- pire Emslie’s decisions, threw a bottle on the field. It fell on the third-base line and was broken to pieces. The game was stopped while the pieces were being gath- ered up. One of the players might easily have been seriously injured while running along the third-base line, and had this oc- curred the person who threw it might have found some solace for his outraged feelings. Conduct like this does not do any good. —Baltimore American. DE MONTREVILLE LEADS. The Agile Short Stop Heads the Local Batsmen. The latest batting averages published are very interesting, especially to Washington enthusiasts, as Third Baseman Smith is given his first recerd, and it is a record to be proud of. His fieldIMg has been all that could be desired, but in batting it was thought he would be in the “ordinary” class, or at a .250 percentage. Smith, it will be remembered, played a phenomenal game against Cincinnati, but failed to get a hit, this fact, no doubt, leading many to think he was weak with the stick. But Harvey is in the .300 class, good and hard, -having .333 chalked up opposite his name, and is the second hardest batter on the team. DeMontreville has taken a great brace in batting, and is up among the lead- ers, being twelfth, with a record of .352. McGuire and Selbach are the only other members of the Senators who have batied over .300. Jennings now leads the league, with .402, Burkett going into second place with .391. Sluggers like Lyons, Ryan, Ev- erett, Anson, Davis, Cooley and Griffin are beneath little Smith in the batting aver- ages. 1—Jennings, Baltimore Burkett,’ Cleveland. 2 $—Delehanty, Philadelphia.

Bald did not acquit himself as well as his admirers expected. He qualified in the second heat of the half- mile open, but was not a factor in the final heat at any time. In the one-mile ‘pro- fessional he won fourth money, and $35 represents his winnings so far at the Springfield meet. Tom Butler was the hero of the day. The handicaps were so heavy in the two-mile professional that the win- rers of the prises were sure to win from the start. —_.____ MASS MEETING FOR GOLD. An Enthusiastic Gathering in the Convention Hall in Indianapolis. Although the democratic convention at Indianapolis held no session last night, as much interest attached to the convention centered upon the mass meeting held under {ts auspices as in its inauguration at the ccnvention hall. Some of the most popular orators in the country, who are delegates to the convention, were billed to speak, and their names drew a brilliant, well- dressed audience, one which filled galleries and the floor and included a large propor- tion of ladies. The chairman was ex-Congressman John R. Fellows of New York, and the speakers were Louis R. Ehrich of Colorado, David W. Lawler of Minnesota, Chariton Lewis of New Jersey and Edgar H. Farrar of Louls- jana. Col. Fellows in his introductory. speech was in his customary eloquent vein’ and was frequently cheered. The enthus!- asm throughout his speech and the rest of the meeting was loud voiced and: frequent in expression. After Mr. Farrar-had finished there were cries of Breckinridge. The audience were not to be satisfied,’ however, in its:desire to hear the silver-tongued orator of Kentucky, the ahnouriverent of whose appéarancé had brought many to the hall. Col. Fellows, advancing to the front of the platform, raised his hand, commaniing silence, and sald: “Mr. Breckinridge has declined to speak on account of the lateness of the hour and has left the hall for his hotel.” ‘This announcement brought down howls of disappointment, and there was much grumbling while the galleries were belng emptied. ‘The hour was 11 o'clock. Col. Fellows’ Remarks, Ladies and Gentlemen; Fellow Demo- crats,” said Colonel Fellows, as he faced the immense audiente, “the ‘splendid en- thusiasm which characterizes this gather- ing tonight is but the-visible expression of the sentiment which” is surging in the breasts of hundreds of thoysands of demo- crats all over this républic. (Cheers.) “We are called upon to confront a peril which, by the action of the Chicago: con- vention, was crystalized into a declaration and purpose, constituting & menace which seriously imperils individual happiness and the Prosperity: of our béloved country. We have assembled in tonvention to declare that that peril shall never become a reality. (Cheers.) Our justiffcation’ in assembling here is that we aré democrats, and that to sustain the action of the Chicago con- vention is treason td democracy. I deny the right of any assemblage of men to de- clare to me what is democracy, or to pre- scribe for me new forms ‘and new teachings of democracy. Democracy was born before national conventions, and will survive il national conventions were never held. (Cheers.) I believe that democracy is some- thing more than a name, and I say let them carry away the flag, but let me have the principles upon which the party is built and I remain a democrat. (Cheers.) “When this convention. shall have. ac- complished its work It will be my privilege to go Into’very many of the states of this Union and repeat that I repudiate abso- lutely, in all its parts, in its details, and in the entirety of its hideousness, the plat- form and the candidates of the Chicago convention. (Tremendous cheering, the meeting rising while it cheered.) “If that was democracy then all my life I have been decelved, and I am not willing now in my old age to confess that I have gone wrong through the enthusiasm of my young lffe, and the mature judgment of riper years, and kneel now on a penitent knee, declaring “Mea Culpa” in the pres- ence of Altgeld and Tillman. (Tremendous applause.) “I am not willing that the party and its principles should be murdered upon any kind of scaffold. (Laughter and applause.) I am not so asthetic in my tastes as the gentleman from Nebraska (Bryan), and if I am to be butchered, I care but little for the embellishments ‘of the instrument where the slaughter takes piace. (Cheers and laughter.) “T belie¥é that It comports’ fathtr more with my somewhat aristocratic. testes, If I am kiiled at all, to have it done upbn a cross of gold rather than upon one of cheaper and baser metal. (Laughter and cheers.) - “But is the fact of the crucifixion at all of that party against which I stand here to protest? I am unwilling to be crucified between the twin ,thieves of sectionalism repudiation. (Tremendous applause.) ‘Under the doctrine of those who ruled the Chicago convention are 53 cents of sil- ver In our dollar and 47 cents of actual lying and above it is to be placed the legend, ‘In God we trust.’ (Laughter and cheers.) “The only meaning of that {s that the silver in the dollar is worth but 53 cents in the markets of the earth, and we are to trust God for the other 47. (Laughter.) “These men who are betraying the party and the eountry ought to turn back to the one from whom they got their first les- son in betrayal. He would never have stood by the Chicago ratio. (Laughter.) He bettered the market value of silver. (Laughter.) He required thirty pieces of silver for one betrayal, and they are will- ing to do it for sixteen. (Laughter.) We have a right to ask this curious thing with a populist head and tail, divided into two sections, one labeled Sewall and the other Watson. (Laughter.) We have a right 10 ask it some questions. We have a right to ask Mr. Bryan whether he indorses the action of this other convention which has nominated him. Does, he.,adopt. its doc- trines? aE ai “I have faith in the American people. The heart of the American, people is sound. What they desire is; what is right, and then they will do right. (, “The Chicago platform decries the action of the President in the mafter of the Chi- cago riots. The Chicago platform declares that in the matter og the, Chicago riots. ‘The Chicago platform.-declages that a crime, but I say here that ten milion Americans stand behind the President when he makes that declaratign good. And I say here that generous as, is ihe republic, we have no room, save,jn the safe security of our dungeons, in sigps of our scaf- folds for- those who, comp here to break down the fabric of ou laws.” Applause and waving of hats, fans and flags, wirding up wih three cheers for Cleveland. Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide. An vnsuccessful attempt at suicide was made last evening by Michael J. Whelan, the proprietor of a boarding house at 1026 Bladensburg road. Whelan visited the drug store of Tyree & Fitch,-15th and H strects northeast, about 7 o’clock, and-it became apparent that he was suffering from mor- phine poisoning. Several physicians in the neighborhoed were summoneg, but the man refused to submit to treatment, and it was with difficulty that he was detained until the arrival of the Emergency Hospital ambulance, which had been calied. At the hospital Dr. West and his assistants adopt- ed prompt measures of relief, and Whelan was soon declared out of danger. The pa- tient has been a sufferer from rheumatism, and he grew despondent, it is said, because of financial troubles. It developed that Dr. Argyle Mackey, who committed suicide re- oy in Baltimore, was Whelan’s phy- siclan, THE WAR OF RATES Another Move in the Railroad Con- i flict Now Waging. COT OF THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION Views of the Representatives of Both Interests. ABOUT OTHER ROADS The executive board of the Southern States Freight Association, which met in New York yesterday, has formally accepted the gage of battle thrown down by the Sea- board Air Line, and after a lengthy confer- ence, which lasted until a late hour last night, the members decided to not only meet but pass the cut in rates made Tues- day and Wednesday by the Seaboard, and ordered a cut of almost two-thirds in the present schedule. Late yesterday afternoon the Southern Railway Company filed a notice with the interstate commerce commission of an in- tention to meet the Seaboard’s cut of 33 1-3 per cent on both passenger and freight Schedules, and it is expected that in ac- cordance with the decision of the execu- tive board of the Southern Freight Associa- tion, which was reached at a still later hour, the additional necessary legal notices will be filed today with the interstate commerce commission by the Southern of its intention to pass the Seaboard’s cut, so that the reduced rates may go into effect as speedily as possible after that of the Seaboard’s, which takes effect Friday and Saturday, respectively. As the Southern’s new schedule cannot be made effective until after three days’ no- tice, it will be powerless to avail itself of the lower figures for elther passenger travel or freight traffic until Sunday. The reduced rate will be about 65 per cent be- Jow the present tariff, and will be made ap- plicable to every competing point in the territory of the Southern States Freight Association which is touched by the Sea- board Air Line or any of its allied roads. As will be seen below, the Seaboard prac- tically threatens to again cut the rates al- ready announced, and there is no telling how cheaply people will be able to travel before the war is brought to a close. “From this time on until peace is re- stored, unless there should be a change, which is not likely, in the plans of the managers who are conducting the Sea- board Air Line end of the war with the Southern States Freight Association,” said @ prominent official of the first-named company last evening in Baltimore to a Star reporter, “the Seaboard may be ex- pected to force the fighting, and as the first step in that direction since filing no tice of their intention to cut rates on both passenger and tariff schedules with the interstate commission they have decided to comply with the request of the Travelers’ Protective Association of America, and will put on sale, to go into effect tomorrow, Milage books, covering 2,000 miles of tray- el, for $4); 1,000-mile books can also be purchased, but the charge for these will be $25, or at the rate of 214 cents per mile, as against 2 cents a mile when the larger book is purchased.” Part of the Plan. The Seaboard Line people claim that they decided on this action some time ago and would have put the new rates into effect ere this but for the fact that Judge Simon- ton issued his now famous injunction, and that when the latter went into effect they were powerless to carry out their plans in the matter. Since, however, the injunction has been dissolved they are at liberty to do as they please in their territory until at least some ene gets out an injunction compelling them to again suspend the cut rate schedule. The action of the Seaboard is regarded as significant at this time, as the railroad com- missioners of Georgia have now before them a petition from the Georgia division of the Travelers’ Protective Association of America, asking the commission to compel the railroads over which they have control to reduce their rates to the figures now con- ceded to the traveling public by the Sea- board. It has been heretofre understood that the Pessenger officials of all the roads in the south were opposed to granting the cen- cessions asked for as above stated, because tre roads, as they said, could not stand the lower rate, and this action by the Sea- board seems to be playing right into the hands of the traveling men. Some of the Seaboard people, in talking to a Star reporter on this subject, said that for some reason, the cause of which they were ignorant, the great army of com- mercial men traveling in the south have come out in favor of the Seaboard “with both feet,” and are are doing splendid mis- sionary work in its behalf, getting both pas- sengers and freight for it. It seems that the Seaboard is determined to thoroughly demoralize both freight and passenger rates whenever it is in their power to do so, and it is reported on go0d authority that Vice President St. John has declared that every time an injunction is applied for the Seaboard Air Line will reduce the fare $1. It is further stated, but not officially, that if the roads in the Southern States Freight Association meet the present cut the Seaboard will go be- low it, even if in the course of the next week or two the the round trip rate froin Washingtcn to Atlanta is reduced io $11 for the round trip, good until used. Effect on Other Ronds. Passenger men connected with lines which have not yet been brought into the fight between the Southern and Seaboard say that a radical cut in passenger rates would hurt roads not in the south, and that a reduction of 50 cents in the fare from Memphis to Washington would cost the Pennsylvania railroad aione $500,000 a year, because a slight change like that would demoralize rates all over the country. It is quite certain, however, that the Penn- sylvania would not be the only line af- fected, end that the Baltimore and Ohio, and, in fact, every trunk line would be a heavy loser. There are some people urcharitable enough to say that the Sea- board people would like very much to cavee the Pennsylvania to sufter a loss of revenue, and if it can succeed in disar- ranging the very carefully adjusted sched- ule of rates through the south and west it may be able to hurt the Pennsylvania, against which it has a grievance. Regarding a report that the Southern States Freight Association was preparing a tariff on a basts of a 50 per cent reduction to Seaboard competitive points, ignoring the long and short haul clauses of ihe in- terstate commerce law, Mr. St. John dic- tated the fullowing statement to his private secretary, who gave a copy to The Star re- porter: “I have heard of that rumor, but believe that the interstate commerce commission will enforce, in its own way, a law which demands that no higher rate shall be made for a shorter than for a longer haul. “The Seaboard will obey this feature of the law in tariffs to be issued in the future as in the past. So far as the association is concerned, and that means the Southern railway, for it can control the votes of a majority, we may be compelled to test its legality in the courts, as the people may have to test the constitutionality of certa consolidations, purchasers and leases of railroads in Georgia and North Carolina, a little later on, for it wouid seem that pres- ent conditions cannot much longer con- tinue. “The present disturbances in rates result from the Southern’s efforts to destroy our revenues and business, after which the re- sults likely to follow may be easily imag- ired. The responsibilities are theirs, and the remedy ts with them. We shall defend our property and our rights from an in- tended quiet and subtie attack, from what- ever source it may come, with the same force and spirit that we would an attack made openly and boldly, and we will con- tinue to oppose to the millions of their bankers the sturdy, unwavering loyalty of the merchants, shippers, farmers, mat.u- facturers, the producers and the good peo- ple of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and all territory tributary to our line, in whose interest the conflict is waged, as well as our own. “The question is between the Southern and the Seaboard. No other interests are, of necessity, involved. It is within the power of the Southern to adjust its busi- mess upon business methods; protect its revenues and prevent serious losses there- to, if that is its desire, by dealing honor- ably and in justice with its competitors, and this it will, sooner or later, have to 0 SOD erretee unimpeachable record we have quotations cheap— Oak Chamber Sets. . oe Oak Chiffoniers, with hat box.

THE MAINE OUTLOOK Candidate Powers Expects a Larger Republican Vote Than in ’94, MANY LEADING DEMOCRATS WILL BOLT The Tariff an Important Question Among the Lumbermen. —_+ -__ TEMAN AND SEWALL aye S BA Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Maine, September 3.—Liew- ellyn Powers, the republican candidate for gevernor, has been in the city on invitation of the officers to attend the fair of the Maine State Agricultural Society. The Star cerrespondent last evening asked him as to the outlook in Maine at the stat tion, which will take place on September 14. “1 will say,” said Mr. Powers, “that t news from Vermont of the unpre large majority in the election of Tuesday a very encouraging feature and an indie: tion of the way Maine will ge This is the first weekday for four weeks that 1 have not been speaking once or twice during the day. Yesterday I spoke at Damariscotta, in the afternoon, and in the evening ai Waldobor Maine. Mr. Frank, the democratic candi date for governor, had spoken there on Saturday evening. I had a large and en- thusiaste meeting and was assured that several democrats in that town will vote the republican ticket this year for the fir time. I have spoken in all parts of tae state, except in the first district, and shall make two speeches in that section this week. I shall wind up my speaking in the | Western part of the state Thursday, the 1uth, with a speech at Rumford Falls. 1 shall then speak in Aroostook county and make the cicsing speech of the campaiga at my home in Houlton on the evening of the 12th. “It has been my custom for many years, on invitation cf the republicans of Houlton, to close the speaking in that town, and uaturally I feel proud of the fact that they have thus honored me.’ The Silver Sentiment. “What about the silver sentiment Aroost20k, Mr. Powers?” “There is next to no silver sentiment in Aroostook, outside of the French settie- nents on the upper St. John river. Some French voters, who have generally acted with the demecrats, veted wita the repub- licans two years ago, and this year nave been carried away with the silver craze. Still, we shall have our usual vote in that county. There will be acc: ms to the re- publican vote in other parts of the count I think the repubsicans will carry Aroo took by 1,500. You must remember that before 180} for several campaigns Aroos- took went demo: tic quite as often as it went republican; but I feel safe in saying that the republicans will carry the county by the majority 1 have named. “] find that in the parts of the state where I have been speaking, that many leading democrats will vote the republi- in can ticket. I believe the business men and the laboring men, the wage carners of the state, will vete the ublican ticket this year, and that the party will hold its own among the farmers. I am satistied that the republicans wiil poll a larger vote in Maine this year than in Ipv2 or 18, and that the republican majority will be con- sid le larger than in 1892. "In 1834 the re- publican majority was very large, for the re,son that a large part of the democrats refused to vote. 1t was not on account of an increase in the “What of the question of the tariff he Effect of the Lumber Tarif. ‘I am glad you mentioned that,” said Mr. Powers. “The silVer question is of minor importance in this campaign, espe- cially in the lumbering sections of ihe state. The same reasons which caused the result in Maine in 1894 are potent now. The Wil- son bili took two dollars a thousand duty from lumber. ‘Che effect has been felt all through the lumbering sections of Maine ever since that bill went into effect. It has been the cause of ges bemg cut down at least one-third. What Maine lumber men want is their market and a good dollar. They have had enough of the existing state of things. Do not understand me that I do not think the financial issue an important one in this campaign in Maine. To many of the voters the tariff is of far greater im- portance. Outside of the agricultural inter- ests the lumber business is one of the greatest, if not the greatest indusiry of the state. 1 think that Mame will speak in ne uncertain tones and so emphatically as to satisfy the friends of sound money very where.” °“The sound money democrats of Maine are to have four speeches in Maine from ex- Governor Roswell P. Flower of New York. He will speak in Bangor on the th, Lewis- ton the 10th, Rockland the llth, and Bath the 12th. William Henry Clifford, sound money candidate for governor of Maine, and W. J. Curtis of New Jersey will speak at Brunswick some night before the cum- paign ends. Mr. Curtis is the New Jerscy member of the sound money democratic national committee. Bateman Has No Word From Allen. Mr. L. C. Bateman, the populist candi- date for governor, says: “As yet I have seen no reply from Sennior Allen, and think that he must by this time have be- come convinced that he was in error when he claimed to be the chairman of the no- tification committee.

Major Bowler, who says he is the chair- man of the committee appointed to inform Bryan of his nomination by the populist rational convention, states his position as follows: “So far as I know, I am the chair- man of that committee, and in my ¢ as such I have written L.
