Senators Failed to Tie the Brooklyns Yesterday. Instead of resting side by side in the per- centage column with the Brooklyn nine to- day, as was expected, the Senators are still below. The home team had an cff day, muffed balls and couldn't hit safely. The ‘Trolley Dodgers were out to win. There was no disputing that, and the game was gone after the fifth inning. This re- sult was brought about by errors—misplays that simply raised the hair of the fans straight up—and nearly every one on the team participated in the comedy. Both teams were blanked in the first two innings, but in the third the Senators scored three runs off three singles and a base on balls, but that was all they got. Kennedy settled down after that, and the local batsmen could not conazct with his varied assortment of shoots and swift ones. The Bridegrooms did not score un- til the fourth, when four ~uns were brought in by Corcoran’s single, McCarthy's hit to De Montreville—which should have result- ed in a double-play, but which that player threw over O’Brien’s head—Grim's home run and Jones’ base on balls. This started the ball rolling. If Genie had thrown true to O’Brien or O’Brien had been quicker in covering second, in all probability the Play would have been a double and the side retired without runs, but as it was the whole team seemed to get a case of rattles. After two men were out in the fifth six runs were scored, and not one of them earned, Brown and Abbey letting flies drop that went straight Into their gloves, Smith letting one go through him that should have been the third man out, and Mc- James at this juncture giving a base on bails. When the atmosphere had cleared a lit- tle, and the score was seen to be 10 to 3, the fans settled themselves back with a look of resignation that every one in Wash- ington knows so well, and simply waited to see how many more the Trolley Dodg- ers were going to get. King was put in, however, and no more runs were scored, although four hits were made off his de- livery. O’Brien gave place to Wrigley in the sev- enth inning, as he had been hit by one of Kennedy's swift inshoots. The score: nett { BROOKLYN.

Louisville defeated Pittsburg yesterday, thus making it possible for either New York or Philadelphia to land in the first division. If it comes down to an issue where there is only a fraction of a per cent between the Reds and the Clevelands, there fs still one game coming to the Reds. Washington owes Cincinnati one postponed game. If it becomes necessary, the Reds will go to the capital to play off that game.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The New York-Philadelphia game yester- day was called in the third inning on ac- count of darkness. ‘The Chicago-Cleveland game yesterday was postponed on aqpount of wet grounds. McGunnigle and jancial Agent Pulliam are doing their best to arrange a game with Cleveland at Louisville September 27, which would be the last game of the season. As yet the Cleveland management has not re- plied to the proposition, but it is likely that the Colonels and the Spiders will meet there then. Boston is looking for a hard hitting, fast running and good fielding outfielder. So are several other clubs. Sam Thompson has muffed but four flies this season, end two of them he dropped in the last Cleveland series. The Louisville club has signed Inflelder Johnson and Catcher Butler of Augusta, Maine. Lou Phelan probably will manage the Browns next season. He knows nothing about base ball, but is an authority on fighters.—Exchange. Presidents Soden of Boston and Freed- man of New York are on a fishing trip to- gether, and it is said that Pitcher Rusic is more talked about than anything else. The Louisville club has “lost thirty-two games this season by the small margin of one run. Manager McGunnigle has sent his reserve ist by mail to President Young. It com- prises all of the Louisville players now on the pay roll and Shortstops Shannon and Eustace, Third Baseman Jacobs and Pitcher McFarlan. All of these men will be retain- ed for next season, as well as a number who will be signed before the opening of next season. Ehret and Dwyer lead the league pitchers in the percentage of earned runs per game made off their delivery. INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. The Philadelphia Eleven Meet the Australians at Manheim. MANHEIM CRICKET GROUNDS, Phil- adelphia, Pa., September 18.—The first of the international cricket matches between the Australians and the United States cricketers began at Manheim today, under lowering skies and on a sticky wicket. The locals are not sanguine of success, owing to the recent Canadian defeat, and the fact that the Australians are more at home on a soft wicket. The crease had been pro- tected from late rains by a canvas, but the dampness penetrated, and it was given careful treatment today. Eleven o'clock was the time set for the match to begin, but it was noon before the game started. The visitors are so sure of success that Captain Trott said the match ought to be finished in one day. The two teams are: Australlans—G. H. S. Trott (cap rein George H. Giffen, Hugh Trumble, 8S. Gregory, C. J. Eady, F. R. Iredale, v Darling, Clement Hill, H. Graham, J. J. Kelly, E. Jones. United States—G. S. Patterson (captain), F. W. Ralston, F. H. Bohlen, W. W. Noble, E. W. Clark, jr., H. I. Brown, H. P. Bail- ey, L. Biddle, J. B. King, J. W. Muir, E. M. Cregar. Cregar was substituted for Wood at the last moment, the latter having a sick child. Captain Trott won the toss and elected to bat first. Play began at 12:10 Darling at the wickets, Patterson bowling. Darling was bowled by Bailey. 11l—1—2. Griffen follow p.m., Iredale and with Bailey and Score, Notes for Cyclists.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Maine, September 18.—L. C. Bateman, secretary of the committee to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomination by the populist party, {s angry at the notification sent Mr. Bryan by Senator Allen. He says: “The letter of notification sent to Mr. Bryan by Senator Allen is simply a farce. In trying to sell out the people's party Mr. Allen has got hig foot into it. The mat- ter is now in vastly worse shape than be- fore. Populists all over the country are more indignant than ever. When Mr. Bry- an accepted the democratic and silver nom- inations he also accepted their platform of principles frankly and squarely. Now Sen- ator Allen tells him that he is not ex- pected to indorse the populists’ platform. In other words, he is Informed that the great people’s party is anxious to vote for him without any pledge that will try to advance our principles, and yet Senator Allen was the man who informed the St. Louis convention that Bryan was a popu lst. From beginning to end Senator Allen’s conduct has been marked with treachery and duplicity that is simply amazing. “at this moment I do not know what Mr. Bowler, the chairman of the notifica- tion committee, will do. It seems to me that it is almost too late to do anything. What I mean by this statement fs that so much mischief has been done in treating the populists with contempt and scorn that the great body of them will refuse to vote for Mr. Bryan, in any event. It looks as if Bryan’s star had set. Populists Wanted Only Frankness. “Never was a glorious cause and an auspicious beginning so quickly turned into a farce by bungling managers. The popu- lists, for the most part, would have been satisfied with Mr. Bryan, even if he had told them frankly that he could not ac- cept all the planks of their platform. It is this absence of all frankness that irritates and exasperates them. He has steadily ignored them in every way. I do not be- lieve that he has done this of his own free will and choice. He has been prompted to this course by the office-seeking dema- gogues by whom he fs surrounded. He has been led to believe that he could safely ig- nore and insult the populists by men who at heart are seeking his downfall. The mischief is now done, and I do not believe that it can ever be undone. The popullsts are patriots, however, and if Mr. Bryan would even ‘at this late day deal frankly with them the matter might be fixed up. “The populists were told at St. Louis that if they would indorse Mr. Bryan that Sewall would be dropped and’ Watson's name substituted. Subsequent events have shown that this statement was false and deliberately intended to deceive. The men in charge of Bryan are at heart anxious to see him defeated. They well know that no surer method could be adopted than to violate their pledges to Watson by retain- ing Sewall. That it will end in Bryan’ defeat is just as certain as God reigns and justice lives. The result in Sewall's own ‘state will be repeated all over the west and northwest. The Cause Will Go On. “This great reform movement is going right on, however, revolutions never go backwards. Treason and duplicity may re- turn, but it cannot kill. The treason of Benedict Arnold only delayed American freedom for a day. The curse of all great reform movements is treacherous leaders. The people's party has more than its share of these creatures, but it will survive them all. Other and truer men will fill their places, another Lincoln will arise to lead the hosts of reform. I do not for one mo- ment despair of the final success of this cause. The people of this country are not republican at heart. A way will be found to give expression to their feelings. The false leaders will be overthrown in the nations as they have been ovrthrown in Maine, but principles are eternal and can never die.” ——— To Reply to Mr. Apsley. ‘Vice Chairman Stevens of the national silver committee is expected to return to ‘Washington Monday to resume charge of the silver headquarters. He has been in nearly aJl the western states, and it is un- derstood that he will prepare a statement vpon his return in answer to the Apsley interview, in which great strength for Mc- Kinley in the west was claimed. — EEE eee Damage to the Texas. Acting Secretary McAdoo has received a brief report concerning the accident to the Texas from Commandant Wallace, in cherge of the Newport station. It shows that no damage to the steamer’s plates has been discovered, and that about all the damage done was the rubbing off of the paint on the keel for a short distance. The examination of the vessel will, however, be centinued. Capt. Glass’ report of the acci- dent will probably reach here tomorrow. M’DONALD HE NOMINEE sa Deadlock in the Sixth Maryland District Bhoken, —- Montgomery Couiity Gets the Candi- date—Sceneh of Confusion im the Hall. The deadlock in the republican congres- sional convention of the sixth Maryland district at Rockville, was broken late yes- terday afternoon by the nomination of Capt. John McDonald of Montgomery coun- ty. The result was brought about by a combination of Allegany,Garrett and Mont- gomery counties. The result was a sur- prise to nearly everybody at the conven- tion, as from all appearances ten minutes before the nomination was made the dead- lock was as unbroken as at the beginning of the balloting. The afternoon scenes at the convention were exciting and often dis- orderly, After the recess Mr. Dick of Alle- gany moved that the convention adjourn Capt. John MeDo: for two weeks, and that Frederick county be instructed to send a new delegation to the convention. Chairman Cook made some objections to the wording of the resolution, and in his remarks intimated that he thought the Haffner faction should cast the whole six votes from Frederick county. ‘This remark and the fact that Mr. Cook had just received a telegram, which some of the delegates claimed was from Mr. Wellington, instructing the chairman to make such a ruling, caused a terrible com- motion in the ccnyention. The rooters from Frederick county belonging to the Motter faction arose in a body and started for the stage, yelling, ‘Throw him out!’ — Mr. Pearre, Mr. Dick, Mr. Motter and Mr. Rich- mond rushed in front of the excited crowd and prevented them from reaching the chairman. Mr. Pearre in passing in front of the stage told Chairman Cook in an im- pressive way that those men whom he had trampled on were now protecting him. At- ter some time the crowd was quieted, and Gittinger poured oil on the troubled waters by saying that he much preferred to cast only three votes for Frederick coun- ty. Mr. Dick afterward withdrew h olution providing for a new primary in Frederick, and the balloting was resumed, being interrupted now and then by some new effort to settle the Frederick county dispute. As the afternoon passed Mr. Pearre be- came convinced that there was no pos- sible chance for his own nomination and commenced an endeayor to find somebody on whom the Garrett county delegation would agree. Finally after much argu- ment the arrangement was consummated and on the 172d ballot taken at Rockville, Allegany cast her six votes for McDonald, Frederick gave three votes to Hagner, Gar- rett three votes to McDonald and Mont- gomery four votes tO the same man. This gave McDonald thirteen votes and the nomination. As soom as the audience real- ized that the nomination had been made there was a wild scene of enthusiastic cheering. Tho anti-Hagner people satis- fied in the fact that they had defeated the Washington county man stood on the benches’ and cheered themselves hoarse. County pride asserted itself among the audience, and they cheered also for Mont- gomery county's candidate. The chairman declared Capt. John McDonald the nomi- nee of the party, and a few moments afterward, when ‘the captain had been bsought into the hall, introduced him to the convention as the next republican Con- gressman from the sixth district. Capt. McDonald made a short address, thanking the convention for the honor {t had con- ferred upon him in feeling terms. He an- nounced his unqualified adherence to the national republican platform and_ called upon the audience to save the country from dishonor and repudiation by the elec- tion of the republican ticket this fall. At the conclusion of the new candidate's speech there were loud cries for Pearre, and that genileman was lifted to the stage in the arms of enthusiastic shouters. He made a forcible and taking speech on the issues of the campaign, and confidently predicted republican success in the sixth district. Allegany, he said, would give Capt. McDonald near 2,000 majority. The convention then adjourned and the new candidate held a reception In the hall and on the street for several hour: Capt. John McDonald was born in Ire- land in 1837, coming to the United States when he was eighteen years old. Soon after his arrival here he enlisted in the United States army, and until the civil war be- gan served In the far west. On the break- ing out of hostilities he was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, and served with that army during the entire war. He was promoted to a captaincy for brav- ery at the seven days’ battle. After the war he was sent west again, where he re- mained until he was retired In 1868. In 1870 he removed to Maryland and has since resided at his farm in Montgomery county, not far from the Potomac river. During his residence in Maryland he has been an active party man. He was a mem- ber of the legislature in 1882 and in 1890 was the republican candidate for state con- troller. He was a master of the Mont- gomery county grange thirteen years, and is a director of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Montgomery county and a member of the vestry of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church at Rockville. MR. WELLINGTON SATISFIED. He Counts on the Election of Capt. McDonald. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., September 18—Sena- tor-elect Wellington, in commenting on the outcome of the sixth district republican congressional convention, this morning said: “Capt. McDondid’s nomination ts en- tirely satisfactory tovine, and I believe he will prove an acceptable candidate to the party in the district,, While I belleve that he will be elected, P'dén’t think affairs in the sixth will be allowed to drift. There is an Impression abroad that we can always carry the sixth district. Now, there nothing so uncertain, as a “dead sure thing,’ and I recognize’ that the democrats have a splendid leader in Mr. Lee, so that it behooves the republicans to make an active campaign. It, been stated that I attempted to boss yesterday's convention. Such a gathering as met at Oaklayd and Rockville defy all efforts at bossitg. If any one did undertaké to run them, it was very poorly done.” =|. —_+- Epworth League Officers. The installation ofthe newly elected offi- cers of the District Epworth League took place at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church last evening. The audience was large and enthusiastic, and the singing under Prof. Lewis was all that could be desired. Addresses were delivered by Revs. C. A. Leftwick, Dr. I. L. Thomas and Mrs. Ruble H.

Mr. Finley Takes Charge of His Office in This City. Mr. William W. Finley, the new second vice president of the Southern Railway Company, whose appointment as such, to succeed Mr. W. H. Baldwin, jr., resigned, took effect Tuesday, did not take posses sion of his headquarters in this city until today, and he at once took up the mani- fold duties of his position. Mr. Finley received a hearty greeting from his former associates and subordi- nates of the company, to all of whom he became well and favorably known during his former residence in Washington as third vice president of the same company. Like his predecessor in the second vice presidency, Mr. W. H. Baldwin, jr., who, October 1, becomes president of the Long Island Railway Company, Mr. Finley is one of the great railroad executives of the country. He was born September 2, 1853, at Pass Christian, Miss., and at the age of about nineteeg years entered the service of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern, and Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans railway companies, where he re- mained for nearly ten years. During this period he was for three years stenographer in the vice president's office, nine months receiver's secretary, one year secretary to agent for trustees, four years chief clerk, William W. Finley. general freight department, three years assistant general freight ‘agent; from March 1, 1883, to December 15, 1885, he was assistant general freight agent, Texas and Pacific division, Missouri Pacific rail- way: from December 15, 1985, to July 1, 1886, he was assistant general freight agent for the receivers of the Texas Pacific railway; from July, 1888, to September 1s88, he was general freight agent of th Texas and Pacific railway: from September 15, 1888, to May, 1889, he was general freight ‘agent of the Pan Handle route, comprising the Fort Worth and Denver City, Denver, Texas and Fort Worth, and Denver, Texas and Gulf railroads; ‘from May, 1889, to October 1, 1890, he was chair- man’ of the Trans-Missouri Traffic Asso- ciation at Kansas City, Mo.; from October 1, 1890, to May 20, 1892, he was chairman of the Western Passenger Association, at Chicago, Ill.; from May 23, 1892, to April 10, 1895, he was general traffic manager of the Great Northern and Montana Central railways; from April 10 to October 1, 1895, he was commissioner, Southern States Pas- senger Association at Atlanta, Ga.; from October 1, 1895, to May 1896, he was third vice president of the Southern rail- way; from May 15, 1896, to September 15 1896, he was second vice president of thi Great. Northern railway, which he re- signed to take his present position with the Southern. In conversation with a Star reporter to- day Vice President Finley said: ‘There will be absolutely no changes whatever as the result of my return to the Southern.” Another official of the Southern said: “Mr. Finley knows the staff, and it stands about as he left it. Moreover, he is not a man who carries a procession around with him, throwing out old men and putting in new cnes.
