The gamo 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 Louls- ville. In fact, the spectators settled back, rather disappointed at the prospect of a crushing 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.

Wrig- ley covered second for Washington, 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 Mcntreville and Selbach, proved easy outs. McGuire, Smith, Wrigley and Brown, how- ever, each sent out a bit, and when the inning was ended the record was four runs and five hits. Another run was secred in the second by means of a base on balls to Lush, a steal and a single by De Montreville. Washington’s final run harpened in the sixth, when Lush singled, stole second, went to third on an error and arain crossed the plate on a safe drive by De Montreville. foot.

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 .311. It is rumored that Cleveland has offered Louisville McAllister and Blake for Dex: Uncle Anson predicts that Cincinnatl be out of the race for the Temple cup wii 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 tie. 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 until 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 is a remarkable coincidence that the greatest team that Cincinnat! ever had was Harry Wright's champions of ’69, and that 69 1s the figure that threatens to an- chor this year’s team outside the Temple cup money.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Cincinnati club ts 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.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Some miserable hoodlum on the bleach- 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 pleces. 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 Batsmhen. The latest batting averages published are very interesting, especially to Washington enthustasts, as Third Baseman Smith is given his first record, and it is a record to be proud of. His fielding 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 Jead- ers, being twelfth, with a record of McGuire and Selbach are the only othe members of the Senators who have batted 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 Delehanty, Philad 4—Keeler, Baltimor Sterzel, Pittsburg G- Childs, " Cleveland 7-Kelley, Baltimor Hears Louisville.

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 its auspices as in its inauguration at the cenvention 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- tton of ladies. The chairman was ex-Congressman John R. Fellows of New York, and the speakers were Louis R. Ehrich of Colorado, David W. Lawier of Minnesota, Charlton Lewis of New Jersey and Edgar H. Farrar of Louis- lana. Col. Fellows in his introductory speech was in his customary eloquent vein and was frequently cheered. The enthusi- asm throughout his speech and the rest of thé 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 hékr the stiver-tongued orator of Kentucky, the announcement of whose appearan brought many to the hall. Col. Fellows, advancing to the front of the platform, raised his hand, commanding silence, and said: “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 being emptied. The hour was 11 o'clock. Col, Fellows’ Remarks. | ji ““Ladies and Gentlemen, Kellow Demo. crats,”’ said: Colonel Fpllows, as he faced the immense audience, :“the.. splendid thusiasm which characterizes this gather- ing tonight is but the yisible,expression of the sentiment which {is surging In the breasts of hundreds of2thousdnds of demo- rc : &Cheers.) © called upon‘to confront a peril which, by the action of the Chicago con- vention; Was ctystalzed into'a declaration and purpose, constituting a menace which seriously tmpetils individual Nappines: 1 prosperity of our beloved fcountry. .

(Tremendous cheering, the meeting rising while it cheered.) “If that was democracy then all my life I have been deceived, and I am not willing now in my old age to confess that Ihave gona wrong through the enthusiasm of my young life, 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.

Cae) Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide, An unsuccessful 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 streets northeast, about 7 o’cleck, and it became apparent that he was suffering-ffom mor- phine poisoning. Severa? physicians in the neighborhood were summoned, Hut 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 declare 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- cently in Baltimore, was Whelan’s phy- sician, THE WAR OF RATES Another Move in the Railroad Con- flict Now Waging. CUT 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 331-3 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 either passenger travel or freight traffic until Sunday. The reduced rate will be about 65 per cent be- low 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 se2n 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 wi Interstate commission they have de comply with the request of the Travelers’ Protective Association of America, and will put on sale, to go into effect tomorrow, Muilage books, covering 2,000 miles of trav- el, Tor $40; 1,000-mile books can also be puenered but the charge for these will be or at the rate of 2% cents per mil inst 2 cents a mile when book is purchased.” Part of the Pinan. The Seaboard Line people claim that the decided on this action some time ago anc would have put the new rates into eftect 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 ter. however, the injunction has been 1 they are at liberty to do as they ¢ in their territory until at least som: ohe gets out an injunction compelling them to again suspend the cut rate schedule. The action of the Seaboard is regarded snificant at this tim he railroad com- ssioners 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- beard. It has been heretofre understood that the passenger officials of all the roads in the south were opposed to granting the col cessions asked for as above stated, becau: the 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 ‘aboard people, in talking to a Star reporter on this subject, said that for some reason, the cause of which they were ignorant, the eat army of com- mercial men traveling in the south have as the larger si }come out in favor of the Seaboard “with Loth feet,” and are are doing splendid mis- Siontary work in its behalf, getting both pas- scngers and freight for it. It seems that the Seaboard ts determined to thoroughly demoralize both freight and passenger rates whenever it is in their power to do so, and it is reported on good authority that Vice President St. John has declared that every time an injunction 1s 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 from Washingtcn to Atlanta is reduced to $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 alone $300,000 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 tke Sea- board people would like very much to cavse the Pennsylvania to suffer 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 basis of a 50 per cent reduction to Seaboard competitive points, ignoring the long and short haul clauses of the in- terstate commerce law, Mr. St. John dic- tated the following statement to his private secretary, who gave a copy to The Star re- porter: E “I have heard of that rumor, but believe that the interstate commerce commission will enforce, in its own way, a law which Gemands 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 certain consolidations, purchasers and leases of railroads in Georgia and North Carolina, a little later on, for it would seem that pres- ent conditions cannot much longer con- tinue. “The present disturbances in rates result from the Southern’s efforts to destroy our tevenues and business, after which che re- sults likely to follow may be easily imag- ired. The responsibilities aro theirs, and the remedy is with them. We shail defend our property and our rights from an in- tended quiet and subtle 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, maru- facturers, the producers and the good peo- le of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Poutsiana, 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- hess upon business methods; protect its Tevenues and prevent serious losses there- to, if that is its desire, by dealing honor- ably and in justice with its competitors, one this it will, sooner or later, have to FIGURES 16 PROV that we can save you money on your Hovéefurnishing pur- chases.

MANY LEADING DEMOCRATS WILL BOLT The Tariff an Important Question Among the Lumbermen. BATEMAN AND SEWALL SS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Maine, September 3.—Llew- ellyn Powers, the republican candidate for severnor, has been in the city on invitation of the officers to attend the tair of the Maine State Agricultural Society. The Star cerrespondent last evening asked him as to the outlook in Maine at the state elec- tion, which will take place on September 14. “I will say,” said Mr. Powers, “that the news from Vermont of the unprecedented large majority in the election of Tuesday is a very encouraging feature and an indica- tlon of the way Maine will go. This is the first weekday for four weeks that I have not been speaking once or twice during the day. Yesterday 1 spoke at Damariscotta, in the afternoon, and in the evening at Waldoboro, the democratic stronghoh of Maine. Mr. Frank, the democratic candi- date for governor, had spoken there on Saturday evening. I had a large and en- thusiastec meeting and was assured that several democrats in that town will vote the republican ticket this year for the first time. I have spoken in all parts of the state, except in the first district, and shall make two speeches in that section this week. 1 shall wind up my speaking in the western past of the state Thursday, the th, with a speech at Rumford Falls. 1 all then speak in Aroostook county and make the elesing 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 of the republicans of Houlton, to close the speaking in that town, and naturally I feel proud of the fact that they have thus honored me.” The Silver Sentiment. “What about the silver sentiment in Aroost20k, Mr. Powers?” “There is next to no silver sentiment in Aroostook, outside of the French settie- ments on the upper St. John river. Some French voters, who have generally acted with the democrats, voted wita the repub- licans two years ago, and this year have been carried away with the silver craze. Still, we shall have our usual vote in that county. There will be accersions to the re- publican vot2 in other parts of the county. I think the repubilcans will carry Aroos- took by 1,500. You must remember that before 1894 for several campaigns Aroos- took went democratic 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. “J tind that in the parts of the state where I have been speaking, that many leading democrats will vote the republi- can ticket. I believe the business men and the laboring men, the wage earners of the state, will vete the republican ticket this year, and that the party will hold its own among the farmers. I am satisfied that the republicans will poll a larger vote in Maine this year than in 18v2 or 1894, and that the republican majority will be con- siderable larger than in 1892. In 1594 the re- publican majority was very large, for the reason thai a large part of the democrats refused to vote. 1t was not on account of an increase in the republican vote.” “What of the question of the tariff? The Effect of the Lumber Tariff. “I am glad you mentioned that,” said Mr. Powers. “The silver question is of minor importance in this campaign, espe- ly in the lumbering sections of ihe state. The same reasons which caused the result in Maine in 1894 are potent now. The Wil- son bill took two dollars a thousand duty from lumber. The effect has been felt all through the lumbering sections of Maine ever since that bill went into effect. It has been the cause of wages being 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. Quiside of the agricultural inter- ests the lumber business is one of the greatest, if not the greatest industry of the state. 1’ think that Maine will speak in pe 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 9th, Lewis- ton the 10th, Rockland the 11th, and Bath the 12th, William Henry Cliffurd, sound money candidate for governor of Maine, and W. J. Curtis of New Jersey will speak at Brunswick some night before the cam- paign ends. Mr. Curtis is the New Jersey 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 Senator 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. J. M. Bowler pro- poses to discharge the functions of that office, if it may be necessary. I can only repeat, however, that both he and myself are perfectly willing that the N. Senator should attend to the m: will do so. We do not wish to appear offi clous, even though we have a perfect right to do so. All we want to know is if Mr. Bryan is willing to accept our nomination and stand upon our platform. We don't like to have it continually flung in our face that Bryan is ashamed of our party. Ile asked for our nominarion, we Bay him, then the report was sent. b that he would not accept it without Was also recognized. Here comes trouble. The populis:s to have anything whate vith Sewall.

Bateman’s War on Sewall. By the way, I noticed that it has been reported that after Mr. Sewall returned from the Chicago convention with the vice presidential nomination that I offered to work for his indorsement if he would in turn recognize me as the leader of the sil- fr forces in Maine. This is incorrect. I could not, with honor, have made him any proposition of the kind. 1 was undeci:i at that time what course to pursue. Mr. Sewall was then supporting a gold stand. ard nominee for governor. 1 repeatedly stated in public interviews that if M Sewall was supporting the populist ticke which was the only free silver ticket in Maine, that there would be some excuse for our supporting him in turn. But the fact that he was not taking that course made not the slightest difference whateve with my final decision. It was a mat that rose above all personal considerativns. It involved the preservation or the de struction of our party. I was anxious for a union of forces, if it could have been done without destroying our organizati On reaching St. Louis I s90n tecam sneed that this could not be accomplished. It was apparent that the indorsement of Sewall meant the death of our party. From that moment I fought against him with all my power. I would done the same had I been positive that the con- trary course would have made me govern- or of Maine. I shall continue this tight to the bitter end. No power but death will swerve me one hair's breadth. Tom Watson must be the running mate of Mr. Bryan or the whole ticket must go down. There is the ulti- matum.”” Maj. Bowler, whe is so prominent in this Matter, has just been nominated as the fu- sion candidate for Heutenant governcr of Minnesota. He is a man of large business interests and took a leading part in the St. Louis convention. What Major Bowler Says. Major Bowler, who says he is the chair- man of the committee appointed to inforn 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 capacity as such I have written L. S. Bateman cf Maine, temporary secretary of the com- mittee, to address the different memb: ef the committee throughout the country and discover their sentiments. T have also asked him to inquire whether I have ever been superseded as chairman. The com- mittee met but once, and then I was the temporary officer chcsen. A few days later the national committee held a session, and it may in some way have taken action, but unless it did, I am still the executive off cer. I expect an answer to my inquiries in this matter very shortly, and if 1 find that I still am at the head of the commi tee and the proposition which we hay dressed to the members mets with the ap- proval of a majority of them, Bryan will certainly be notified of his nomination. If some one else is chairman of the commit- tee, I then will be no better than any one of the members, and the initiative, if it is tak will have to rest with some one else. In a letter which Mr, Bateman receiy today Mr. Bowler says: “Your several let- ters of recent date came and remained un- opened, in my absence, until today. I am satisfied that you will’ handle the mattor therein red to with judgment and dis- cretion. There is plenty of time in which to make all concerned show their hand before we show our: >.
