A special cable dispatch to the New York Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says: Af- ter an excited session the Chilean congress, by a vote of 62 against 60, today decided that the relatives of Fedrico Errazuriz had a right to vote. The Reyists protested against this action, as it allowed Errazuriz’s relatives the right to vote in their own cause, but in spite of this Frrazuriz was proclaimed President of republic of Chile by the same vote— tO « ‘There is great excitement in Valparaiso and in Santiago, but so far order has been preserved. ‘The term for which Errazuriz was elect- ed is for five years from September 18. —— ‘THOUSANDS ARE KILLED. Another Earthquake Ravages North- ern Japa A great earthquake ravaged the north- east provinces of Japan Monday night, de- stroying the town of Rokugo and other towns in that section. Thousands of persons are reported to have been killed and many more injured, while the damage to property is incalcul- able. On the same day of the earthquake in the north of Japan, the southern coasts of the country were swept by a typhoon, which destroyed a vast amount cf proper- ty_and caused the loss of many lives.

The management can see all the fine talent of the New England League by taking a short ride to Brockton. The neglect to secure Lajoie should be a lesson, as that player alone is worth several thousand dollars. It is said that whenever any one starts whistling “She May Have Seen Better Days” within earshot of any of the Reds the police have to interfere to prevent a homicide.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Now that the team has started to play good ball the pitchers have begun to weak- en. Captain Ewing sald: “Hereafter every one of the pitchers will have to dress every day. Then, if a pitcher gets hit for three hits in succession I'll take him out and put in another man.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. Old Jack Hatfield, who, on October 1 1872, threw a base ball 133 yards 1 foot 7% inches and blosomed forth as a wealthy bockmaker and partner of Dick Roche after his retirement from the diamond, has frittered away every penny of his earnings on the “pontés,” and is broke in New York. Jack's brother, Gil Hatfield, who played with the Giants under Buck Ewing, and later with Washington, is now covering third base for Jimmy Manning’s Kansas City team. Gil has a snug bank roll. “If we can get through the eastern trip even up with the Clevelands, or just a few points behind them, I think we will beat them out,” says Captain Ewing. “If it comes to an issue where it will take the four games that we have to play with them to decide who is to fight for the money I have no fears for the result. We have beaten them five out of eight, and I don’t see why we shouldn’t have a chance to take three out of four, even if we do have to play on their own ash heap.” JURED BALL PLAYERS. Some of the Mishaups That Have Oc- curred This Year. The injury of George Decker, whose wrist was broken by a thrown ball at Na- ticral Park the other day, is the most re- cent cf a strange series of similar misfor- tunes, the list of which, fully recorded, would go down in base ball history as mak- ing 1596 the most disastrous year on rez «rd, observes a writer on the Chicago News. Never since the sport began have so many capable players been injured, dis- abled and put out of the game just when their clubs needed them. The string of 07 accidents has kept steady, even pace ever since the opening of the campaign, and there has been scarcely a week unmarked by some physical misfortune to one or more players. Under such circumstances substi- tutes have been Kept busy, teams have been wrecked just when they were riding the wave of prosperity, and the bill for arnica and medical attendance has been enormous. Arscn’s men have had their share. Light- ning struck not oniy twice, but several Left on| times in the case of Tim Donahue, who hes had a wrist spiked, a hand spiked, a shculder blade dislocated and a finger split so far this year. Kittridge has had a@ swollen and utterly useless arm—is still laid up with it. Lange has had several attacks of lameness. Dahlen has been Il at critical times in the campaign. Ryan was hit once on the foot with a foul tip and was out of a big game next day. Decker broke a finger early in the season, and new breaks his wrist, which will put him on the hospital list for the rest of the seacen. ‘ruby was retired with a spiked ankle and never regained his playing form. The champion Baltimores have been very lucky. Only one man has been badly hurt, tut he was a star—Robinson. Robbie had a firger mashed, blood poisoning set in and the doctors had to amputate the member. Jack Doyle hurt an ankle in a Chicago game and was laid up for two weeks, but the Injury not prove serious. With the Boston team Bobby Lowe broke his collar bone and has been resting at his home ever since. Jimmy Collins has been hurt again and again. Herman Long was out of the game for a while with a bai leg. Bergen was disabled for several weeks. For Brooklyn, Ed Stein has been done up by a strained shoulder, Tom Daly has been hurt several times, La Chance has a bro- ken finger, Tom McCarthy was injured early in the year and Anderson has been slightly crippled two or three times. On Cincinnati's team slight accldents or ilnesses have put Holliday, Peltz, Hoy, Ewing, McPhee and Smith out of the game when most needed, but none of the Reds have been seriously crippled. McAleer, the uniuckiest of players, has been laid up for a long time this summer, much to the Injury of the Cleveland club, ard Zeke Wilson had the ligaments of his leg badly hurt by a line drive the other day. Chief Zimmer was out of the game for weeks this season, and Jack O'Connor has been laid on the shelf when he was most needed. Pete Cassidy of Louisville had his wrist broken before the campaign was fairly under way. Jack O'Brien was hurt the very day the deal for his transfer to Wash- ington was completed. Dexter was dis- abled by a collision with Bill Lange. For New York, Doheny hurt his arm: Zearfoss got sand or sun in his eyes, and was out of it while the club was doing its toboggan slide; Jim Stafford had his leg hurt and then got his wrist broken. Pittsburg has been hampered by the strained ankle of Louis Bierbauer. Jake Beckley was hurt and out of the game for some Weeks before his transfer to New York. Jake Stenzel has been disabled; Lyons was hurt once in the spring. Billy Nash of Philadelphia has played but little since he was hit in the head with a pitched ball. Hallman and Dele- hanty were in the hospital for awhile—of ur and fifty minutes, pbell.

Pitcher Lester German was released last evening. Conny Mack is on very good terms with himself these days. Boston made a substantial gain on Chi- cago yesterday. John T. Brush has started east to join his wandering Cincinnati outfit. About one-half the pitchers violate the rules by taking their foot off the rubber too soon. Padden, who is covering second for Pitts. burg in the absence of Bierbauer, is quite a fielder, but weak with the bat. Cincinnat! now has a very slight hold on second place. The Baltimore players feel almost as badly over the Reds’ slump as do the Reds themselves. Anson still declares he will take the California trip with the Colts for the next spring practice. The journey will be made by = of New Orleans and the Southern Pacific. Umpire Henderson said yesterday that Lajoie of Philadelphia was one of the finest first baseman he ever saw and a natural Mr. Henderson umpired all born hitter. the games at Philadelphia last week. No club in the league has the chance course, just when most needed—and Sam Thompson retired long enough to give Geier a show in the field. Dick Cvoley was also in quarantine for awhile before he came from St. Louis. Orth, the club’s winning pitcher, was out of it for weeks when he might have saved the team from dropping down the scale. Joe Quinn was knocked out shortly be- fore his release by St. Louis. Otherwise the Browns have been quite lucky. For Washington Crooks was useless for a long time this spring; Abbey was put to bed by a blow on the head from a pitched ball; Tom Brown hurt his ankle, and Maul has been able to play but little. It has been a bad year for ball players and a great season for the doctors. NATIONAL CIRCUIT RACES. Tom Cooper Wins the Record Event.

The wicket’ was a trifle soft when play was begun, but not sufficiently so to give any undue advantage to either side. The Canadians won the toss and elected to bat first. Collins and Pacey acted as um- pires. McIntosh and Cooper took the wick- ets and King opened the bowling to Coop- er, with Clark bowling from the grand- stand end. McIntosh was the first Cana- dian to be retired, being bowled by King. Score, 7-10. Goldimgham took his place.

KR, When the matter of the next encamp- ment came up before the G. A. R. en- campment at St. Paul-yesterday the claims of Buffalo were presentedin a brief speech by Mayor Comrade Smith of that city. Past Commander-in-chief John M. Palmer made a motion that the choice of the next location be made contingent on the secur- ing of a one-cept rate from the railroads, but no vote was taken om the motion. Af- ter the presentation of Buffalo, a recess was taken until 2 o'clock, at which hour no cther names‘ were formally presented; the friends of Dehver preferring to get the help of all concerned for securing the en- campment for 1898. On roll call Buffalo was decided on for the encampment for iso7, Denver receiving, however, a smail vete. The recommendation of the committee in favor of the Pickier bill to revise pension legislation was adopted unanimously. The bill has passed the House and is now pend- ing before the United States Senate. A recommendation was adop:ed favoring the union of the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R., as one organ- ization, under the relief corps: The proposition to allow the Sons of Vet- erans to attend Grand Army meetings bro.ght out three reports, the majority favcring it under certain conditions, one mincrity report opposing the whole propo- siticn, and the other favoring certain mod- ifications in the plan. The rest of the ses- sion was unimportant, the election of offi- cers not ceming up until today, being made a special order for 9:30 o'clock. Women’s Societies. The Ladies of the G. A. R. and the Wo- man’s Rellef Corps were in session all day, but devoted their time to hearing reports. The Davghters of Veterans held business sessions and elected officers as follows: President, Miss Alice Ingram of Chicago; senior vice president, Miss Julia Croft of Clevetend; junior vice president, Miss An- na Smith of St. Louis; chaplain, Miss Ste- phens of Allegheny, Pa.; treasurer, Miss Ida J.

One of the Leading Phrenologists of This Century Passes Awny. Professor Lorenzo Niles Fowler, a noted phrenologist, died late Wednesday night at the home of his sister, Mrs. C. Fowler Wells, in West Orange, N. J., of paralysis. He returned to the United States only a fortnight ago, after spending thirty-five years in phrenological work in Great Brit- ain. During his stay in Europe Professor Fowler traveled extensively, and phren- ologically examined the heads of some of the greatest men and women of this cen- tury. Professor Fowler was born on June 23, 1811, at Cohocton, N:'¥. The advantages possessed by the boy were few. His father was a farmer, but it was decided that as the lad showed a stitdiotis disposition he should be made a Presbyterian clergyman. In 1832 he was sent-to Amherst College, where he hid as a classmate Henry Ward Beecher. Young Fowier :and Beecher be- came interested in the science of phrenol- ogy, which was at that, time comparatively unknown, and Lorenzo fhally decided to relinquish the idea of'becéming a minister of the gospel and to devote his life to the new science. There was a: deep-rooted op- position on the part of many persons to phrerology at that time. It was believed that its teachings led to fatalism, but Professor Fowler did! much to overcome this opposition. Professor Fowler was married in 1844 to-Dr. Lydia Folger of Nantucket, Mass., who died in 1879. She was one of the first women in the United States to receive a medical degree. +o ____ The Panama Canal. The system of excavation by means of cable transfer, as practiced so success- fully in the construction of the Chicago drainage canal, has been adopted in part by the French engineers prosecuting the Panama canal work. United States Con- sul Vifquain at Panama reports to the State Department that a set of the costly and heavy American conveying machinery has been purchased and installed on the line of the canal, but is prevented from ex- hibiting its real efficiency by incompetent Jamaica negro labor. se The Gold Reserve.
