CAMALIER THE ONLY OPPONENT e Senator Gorman Would Not Con- sent to Run for Congress. THE SILVER QUESTION Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LAUREL, Md., September 14.—The demo- cratic fifth district congressional conven- tion met here this morning. Dr. George H. Jones of Calvert presided, with Dr. Rich- ard 8. Hill of Prince George's secretary. The committee on credentials was dispensed with. The temporary organization was made permanent. A committee on resolutions was ap- pointed, composed of W. E. Bischell, B. R. Anderson of Anne Arundel, Hubner and Sandman of Baltimore county, Kelly and Grill of Baltimore city, Files and Walton of Calvert, Owen and Stone of Charles, Peter and Tracey of Howard, Perkins and Stephen of Prince George's, Williams and Adams of St. Mary's. Camalier was present, and an effort to have him withdraw before the convention met was fruitless. Mayor Phelps welcomed the delegates in @ neat speech eulogizing Laurel. He said that Laurel had one democrat who would be an ideal nominee, but he was needed to carry the democracy to victory in 1900. This brought great cheers for Gorman. In accepting the chair Dr. Jones said a great honor had been conferred on little Calvert. Barnes Compton Thanked. While the committee was out speeches were made by Senator Clag2tt, Jones W. Owens, Charles W. Darr and others. A striking ovation was given Barnes Compton and the convention gave him a rising vote of thanks for his long service. His physical condition, he said, forbade his making any extended speech. The committee, after a long absence, re- ported, through its chairman, John Hub- ner, the resolutions declaring allegiance to the principles enunciated by Jefferson, en- forced by Jackson and followed by all well- governed democrats. The report was adopt- ed without enthusiasm. The Nominations. Camalier was nominated by Delegates Williams and Adams of St. Mary’s and Cummings by John Hubner and John H. Bull. The nominating speeches were short he silver question was discussed at length by the resolutions committee, and it was proposed to insert the straddling money plank adopted at Ocean City by the first a rict convention. When the yote was taken Cummings had twenty-four and Camalier the three from St. Mary's. Ex-Senator Peter seid that Howard would like to name John G. Rog- but refrained from a wish not to em- ass the convention. ‘amalier made a fine speech, and the con- vention adjourned. Bounds of the District. The fifth district is composed of the twenty-third and twenty-fourth wards of Baitimore city, embracing the old territory of the seventeenth, before the redistricting of the city by the last session of the gen- eral assembly; the first and thirteenth dis- tricts uf Baltimore county, Howard, Anne Arundel, Prince George's, Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's. ‘This district was represented in Congress for many years by Mr. Barnes Compton, and lately by two poe ane in succes- sion—Charles E. Coffin of Muirkirk, and the present representative, Sydney E. Mudd of St. Mary’s. Last fall, the demo- rats came witnin some 600 votes of-carry- ug the district. Owing to the opposition to Mudd,. within his own party ranks, in nearly every section of the district, the democrats have lately been indulging hopes of carrying it this fall. Two years ago, under the influence of the presidential cam- paign, and the fight for sound money, Mr. Mudd had easy sailing. His failure to se- cure offices for many of his constituents, who, because of their proximity to Wash- ington, look upon the federal service as be- ing rich in “‘spoils,”’ and his alleged unfilled promises, have naturally made him ene- mies. The proposition to nominate Senator Gor- man at Laurel today, was broached months ago, and While it never received the sanc- tion of the senator, in any public manner, the democrats in the district were loath to think :t among the impossibilities. He was, in their eyes, the one man sure to win, and such a victory, {t was thought, would have a great influence upon the state election next year, which the democrats look upon as the pathway to the promised land of a “redeemed Maryland.” The senator was expected to be at the convention today, and when it became known last night that he had gone to New York, there was much dis- appointment, his absence being regarded as due to a desire to keep the nomination from being thrust upon him. The Candidates. The list of probable candidates, can- vassed during the past two months, Is a long ene, and includes Benjamin Harris Camalier of St. Mary's, State Senator Wil- liam B. Clagett, C. C. Magruder, who was beaten last fail'as a democratic candidate ter an associate judgeship in the seventh judicial circuit, and Charles W. Darr, all of Prince George's; ex-Governor Joan Lee Carroll and ex-State Senator John G. Rog- ers of Howard, Robert Moss of Anne Arun- del, who ran against Mudd two years ago; ex-State Senator John Hubner, General Jobn Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company of Baltimore and John 8. Cummings, all of Baltimore coun- ty. *Gummings and Camalier alone came to the convention this morning as avowed candidates, Cummings with the pledged support of the two delegates, one of them Hubner, from his county, and Camalier with the pledged support of St. Mary's, which sent twelve delegates to cast three votes. Magruder refused to take any steps in his own interest, Clagett wanted to stay in the legislature, being a “‘holdover;”” Hub- ner resisted much pressure from leaders and voters, Carroll thought of the nomina- tion for some time and then said he didn't want it, Darr declined to announce him- self, and General Gill, like Hubner, plead- ed éxtensive business engagements. =e CHINA AS JAPAN’S ALLY Ito’s Visit May Bring About an Alliance Between Them. the firm would be , at which time it difficulty will be hat the plastrers employ- e © might have to stop work w of the action of the bricklayers, but they were still working at & o'clock. > Candidates for College Presidency.

PEKIN, September 12 (@elayed in trans- mission).—The Marquis Ito, recently pre- mier of Japan, arrived at Tien Tsin yester- day and is expected here shortly. His visit is regarded as likely to result in an offen- sive and defensive alliance. The marquis, it is asserted, is charged to examine into the possibility of China re- covering her lost ground and becoming a useful ally. There is no doubt there has been a strong bias lately among the lead- ing Chinamen toward Japan, whose reforms the Emperor of China has been attentively studying. An Imperial edict just issued orders Lu, the director of the Northern railroad, to commence a branch line to the western ‘hills. Russia recently attempted to obtain @ contract to build this road. ed Orchestra Incorporated. Articles of incorporation were filed this afternoon incorporating the “Genesta Or- chestra.” James Richards, Samuel Rich- ards, Wilburn Richards, Alfred Luckett and Richard Matthews are the incorporators and officers for the first year. Many of the Brave District Boys Severely Afflicted. TYPHOID §=FEVER «1S FEARED Inquiries Develop Serious Condition in Many Cases. LONG LIST OF MEN The sick list of the 1st Regiment, District of Columbia Volunteer Infantry, has grown much larger since the return of the brave boys from Montauk, and it is seriously feared in medical circles that if the very best care is not taken of the men now suf- fering from the fevers contracted in Cuba that it will develop into typhoid. The re- porters of The Evening Star made exten- sive inquiries today and the result of their investigations are given below. While the return to home and dear ones has exercised a most salutary effect on the majority of the District soldiers who re- turned home suffering from the maladies contracted in Cuba, there are several who are still in a very serious condition. At the residence of Sergt. F. A. Cusick of Company M, No. 308 South Capitol street, the sad intelligence was given that he was worse, and the doctors gave little encouragement regarding his recovery. Private Bernard E. Mead, Company A, is lying ill at his residence, 511 D street south- east, with typhoic fever. He was stricken with fever in camp before Santiago, and on arrival of the regiment Friday last was immediately taken home, being too ill to participate in the reception given the troops. No improvement Is evident in the case of Private Louis T. Frecn, Company F, who 5s dange-ous!y ill of typhoid fever. at his home, No. 640 15th street northeast. Corporal L. Feland, Company D, of 157 11th street northeast, was reported a Httle better this morning. Private Ernest L. Souis of Company L, of 1529 Gales street northeast, is considerably better. Private Leonard Y¥. Rosser, Company I, of 413 New York avenue northwest, has improved slightly. Privates George Nalley of 18 I street northwest and Aloysius Barnes of 92) 24 street northeast were both reported better todey. Sergenat W. J. Walsh, Company A, who was confined to his hom2, No. 614 H street southwest, is now much better and able to walk out. Private J. A. Byrd of Company A of 1354 B street southwest has improved suffi- ciently to attend to his duties as usual, Private Thos. E. O'Keefe, Company K, of 906 Pennsylvania avenue, has also recov- ered. Corporal Joha A. Bresnahan, Company L, Ist D. C. Volunteers, is sick of fever at his parents’ home, 424 M street northwest Of the three soldiers at Georg2town Uni- versity Hospital, one, Private Harbet, was permitted to go home. Private Galvin has imporved wonderfully, and is able to sit up. Private Lazalle, who was the worst off of any, is still very fll, though his condition has improved considerably. Private Frank E. Middleton, jr., of Com- pany D has returned to bis hom: on Wood- ley Lane and is convalescing. Private Edgar A. Coller of Company A, whose whereabouts had caused his family end frisnds much worry, was one of the passengers on the transport Missouri which arrived at Montauk last Saturday. He was on the list of that boat as sick. Sometime before the regiment left Santiago he was taken sick and sent to th general hospital at Siboney, and since that time nothing had been heard from him. The friends of Coller will be thankful for any information ecncerning him. Private Harry Bonaugh 1s another Dis- trict soldier of whom all trac> has been lost. He was a member of Company A, and when last heard from was sick. Informa- tion respecting his whereabouts will be gratefully received by his friends. Lieut. J. M. Field of the staff was report- ea to be improving at his residence, No. 2805 Q street northwest. The same report was made in the cases of Privates Walter Findlay, Company B, of 1236 86th street northwest; D. Daven- port, Company G, of 2310% I street north- west, and Cornelius Clements, Company B, corner 32d and P streets northwest. Corporal John Ward Shuster of Company B, who has been ill with fever in New York, expects to be able to return home tomor- row. His mother has been with him for the past ten days. Private Clements has a dazzling record in the regiment, and if it had not been for his modesty in declining the honor he would now be wearing a medal symbolizing his heroism in saving a fellow-soldier from drowning at Tampa. Mr. Clements also had the distinction of capturing the big sea turtle which supplied fresh meat for his battalion when it was badly needed. Privates C. Maurice and J. Lewis Smith, sons of the late Virginia representative, J. Ambler Smith, are still confined to their beds at No, 1812 N street northwest, but have slightly improved. Private Edward E. Bradley, Company F, of 1205 U strect northwest, 1s improving, but no one is permitted to see him. First Sergeant Sheridan Ferree is rap- idly improving at his parents’ residence, No. 1720 18th street northwest. Private F. L. Herbert, Company C, is con- fined to his bed at No. 701 6th street north- west, but is feeling better. Harry Modert, a member of the District regiment band, has been quite ill from camp fever, and, while confined to his bed, is improving. John Maupin of Company G, a brother to Socrates Maupin, who died in Cuba, is suf- fering from intermittent malaria at his home in Front Royal, Va. While his con- dition is not considered alarming, he is very sick. H. O. Weiss and E. A. Weiss of Company G are both sick at thelr home, in East Capitol street. The former is much better today, but his brother shows no sign of improvement as yet. Clarence Palmer of Company A is suffer- ing with fever at 13th and E streets nogh- west. Ernest L. Graham of Company B, who was sick for nearly a month in Cuba, is confined to his bed at his home, No. 516 T street northwest. Lieut. D. V. Chisolm, adjutant of the 1st Battalion, while up and about, still feels the effects of intermittent malaria, while his brother, “Jack” Chisolm, first sergeant of Company G, was quite ill this afternoon. Edmund F. Burke of Company D is sick at his home, No. 334 E street northeast. Leonard Y. Rossa of Company I is very ill at 413 E street northwest. Corporal William L. Lowe of Company G, who had yellow fever at Santiago, is in Garfield Hospital, afflicted with malaria. He has been very sick since his return. Lieutenant Thomas S. King of Company B, who“was reported as being very ill yes- terday, came into the city today from Hy- attsville, Md. He says he is suffering with a@ species of asthma, and not the fever. Richard J. Quinn of Company D is con- valescing after an attack of dengue fever. Sergeant “Al” Shilling of Company G, who nursed his sick brother so faithfully in Cuba, and also on the Minnewaska com- ing home, is in the city today. At his home, 121 C street southeast, it was said that his corditfon was extremely serious. Private George J. Cole of Company B, who is in Garfield Hospital, shows a slight improvement today. John Watts of Company E, who has been sick at 236 18th street southwest, is re- covering rapidly. B. A. Reynolds, private, Company G, Is recovering slowly from an attack of the Gengue fever at his home, No. 813 East Capitol _street. John N. Brown‘ng of Company B is quite ill at the home of his parents, No. 25 street northwest, while his “bunkle,” Lig- pe A. Mayes of 1700 ist street northeast, is rapidly recovering his health. John M. Heng of Company G was re- ported today bY his first sergeant as being much worse, and D. Spencer Bliss of 923 East Capitol street as being no better ‘than he was yesterday. Private Albert H. Chase of Company G 1s very seriously fll at No. 135 D street nertheast. Private Reman Anders of Company B was take1 to Garfield Hospital late yester- day afternoon. Private Anders had been staying at the District Soldiers’ Home, at 413 Oth street northwest, but developed a serious case of typhoid fever. 000- Silver Chairman Chas. A, Towne Makes His Reply. JUDGE CRAWFORD'S GOLD PAPER Former Senator Carey Says Labor is the Standard. ee THE OTHER ADDRESSES OMAHA, Neb., Septsmber 14.—At the morning session of the monetary conference Judge M. L. Crawford of Dallas, Tex., who was to have spoken yesterday, but did not reach Omaha jn time, read his paper, in part as follows: “The free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 means not bimetallism, but silver mono- metaliism; not a double standard, but a single silver standard, When the govern ment makes a certain welght of one metal the lawful equivalent of a defined weight of another metai as money, the over-valued metal is the cheaper and drives the other out, and bimetallismi exists only on the statute books; it is a theory and not a fact. This is Gresham's law. It is changeless. The coinage history of our own and every other nation den cnstrates its truth. Mr. Towne’s Address. When Mr. Crawford had finished Chair- man Chas. A. Towne of. the silver republi- can national committee, who was presiding, alled Senator Allen to the chair and de- livered his address, Mr. Towne said in part: “The era of ambiguity is past. The re- cent state conventions of the republican party have with marked unanimity de- clared themselves unreservedly for the go!d standard; and we encounter in these de- bates the xvowed defenders of that sys- tem—not its apologists, but its champion I congratulate the ‘National Sound Money League’ on its courage and candor. Let me, presume to recommend a bition of candor, and that, following the example of lis English pr totype, it change its name to “The Amei fean Gold Standard Defense Association.’ Mr. Towne subdivided his address into eleven propositions, as follows: “Money is purchasing power,” “Stability of value t test of good money,” “Falling prices an evil,” “Appreciating money neither eound nor honest,” “The gold standard unsound and dishonest,” ‘There was every reason to anticipate the results of demonetiza- ‘The effects cf demonctization were foreseen and foretold,” ‘Vain effor break the force of conclusion,” “Prese: condition intole silver the only alternative,” “The United States alone can maintain the parity at 16 to 1.” ‘Whatever else money may be defined to it is purchasing power. Referrsd to a particular commodity, this purchasing pow- er expresses itself ag the price of that com- medity. But the purchasing power of money extends to all commodi:ies. It can, therefore, b2 truly expressed only by refer- ence to all commodities. In other words, the purchasing power of money is indeiin- able except in terms of average prices. Mcney, in its origin and on principle, is a mre convenienge in connection | with things, but those interested in adding to its value as measured by things have succeed- ed in making it’mofe important and in- fluential than alf'the productive functions of society combihed. 1Monometallists take the bank-count2r, , the mere physical simplicity view, while bimetaliists take the other—thet of the essential meaning of money as measuting dther things, with its ultimate and intimate ethical and soctal significances. 99: Stability of value,,or the nearest prac- ticable approach to it, is the test of good- ness in money. This, is generally admit- ted. Mr. Carey’s Remarks. Joseph M. Carey, ex-United States sena- tor from Wyoming, spoke on “The Gold Standard from the Standpoint of the West- ern States.” He said in part: “Our contention is that the best standard of money for the extreme west, or the country that is most thoroughly impreg- nated and imbued with the furmers’ alli- ance and populistic theories, 1s the best standard for the extreme east. The best standard for the agriculturist of Kansas and Nebraska is the best standard for New York city. Speaking of a standard we al- Jude to that quality possessed by a metal- He money which measures all values best, gives stability and elasticity, but circulates in all sections without dspreciation: that goes and comes without its value being questioned or suspicioned. The foundation of that standard among other things rhould be labor. “The speaker has belicved that a double standard might be maintained through in- ternational agreement. But such an agree- Ment appears no longer probable. The adoption of the gold standard is rapidly be- ing accepted by all the nations that have hitherto clung to silver. That the displace- ment of silver and the supremacy of gold as a standard has been brought about by conditions not the result of legislation, or the result of any effort on the part of banks, banking institutions or individuals, but from natural causes, is rapidly become ing a fixed conviction. INSURGENTS MARCH AWAY They Evacuated the Suburbs of Manila Today. MANILA, Philippine Islands, September 14.—The insurgents evacuated the suburbs of Manila today. They did so in a grand march, in which nearly three thousand men took part, carrying rifles, colors waving, bands playing and men shouting “Viva Americanos, iva Filipinos Libres. The merchants here. expect heavy losses if a new tariff is enforced at an early date, because their present stocks, valued rough- ly at $5,000,000, have paid the highest du- ties. . SS INJUNCTION SOUGHT. Times Company Enters Suit Against Electrie Light Company. The Times Company today entered suit against the United States Electric Light- ing Company, seekingsan injunction to re- strain the defendant cémpany from discon- tinuing its service ‘of electric current to the complainant auring thé term of a contract between the parties, so long as the provi- sions of the contractyare performed and kept by the complainant. It is alleged that the Times Compahy eyitered into an agree- ment with the efectric company whereby the defendant company was to receive $25 a month and a ceftair“advertising space in the Times in retin for current furnished for running mactinery, presses, ete. The contract was to tinye for the year 1825, and was carried out faithfully, it is alleged, by both parties up to ‘August. On the Ist of September the/Times Company, howev- er, received a bil for $596.22 for electric current furrished;in August, whereas dur- ing the months previous it nad paid but the $25 agreed upon. The company threat- ened to discontinue its service after tomor- row noon vniess the bill should be paid Justice Cox granted a temporary re- straining order, setting the case for a hear- ing Monday, September 26. ———_— ‘The Star's Relief Fand.

MDONALD LOSES THE CONTEST Victory in Preliminary Organization of the Convention. THE DAY AT FREDERICK Special Dispatch to The Rvening Star. FREDERICK, Md., September 14.—The sixth district republican congressional con- vention met in the opera house at 12 o'clock and was called tb order by Reno S. Harp, he having been designated by the state cen- tral committee to perform that duty. Col. John R. Rouzer of Frederick was elected temporary chairman; Richard J. Bence of Allegany and B. H. Sincell of Garrett, temporary secretaries. After the appointment of committees on credentials and resolutions, the convention took a recess for an hour. Every county in the district is fully rep- resented, the delegates having all arrived at an early hour last evening. In addition to the regular delegations, each county is represented by a corps of enthusiastic root- ers for its respective candidate. Gen. ANan_ Rutherford, McDonald's bosom friend, is here, accompanied by a contingent of some twenty-five dissatisfied republicans, for the purpose of making a contest for the seating of a McDonald dele- gation from Montgomery. It is said that the general's efforts will meet with no en- couragement, as there appears to be noth- ing upon which to base a contest. Each County's Candidate. Each county will present a favored son for the nomination, and all insist that they wil. stand by ‘their candidate till the last horn blows, but those in close touch with the managers say that a break will come this evening cr tomorrow morning. A rumor is generally credited to the ef- fect that Senators Wellington and McCo- mas have agreed upon the selection of a candidate, and that candidate is believed to be Gould of Montgomery. Whether this rumor is correct or not there appears to be a strong sentiment among the delegates and their friends in favor of Gould’s nomi- nation. Representative republicans are present frem various parts of western Maryland. Conspicuous among them are Benj. A. Richmond, Norman B. Scott, Alexander R. ank C, Norwood, Charles B. y ex-Gov, Alphonzo Hart, Benj. H. Miller and B. H. Sincell. In the preliminary organization of the conventicn a contest between the Gould aud McDonald delegates from Montgomery ccunty was decided in favor of Gould, and Thomas C. Noyes was appointed a mem- ber of the committee on credentials. The contest will be decided by that committe but its complexion is such that it is pr , t the McDonald people will get no recognition. CANDIDATES ARE WANTED. Raltimore Democrats Having Trouble in Getting Forlorn-Hope Leaders, Special Dispatch to The Fvening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., September 14.—Con- siderable interest is feit here in tonight's democratic nominating conventions in the third and fourth congressicnal districts, which will be wholly in Baltimore city. The greatest difficulty has been in finding candidates, as the party scarcely hopes to carry the city at this time, and its efforts to induce its former leaders te run have not proved successful. It looks this morning as though Dr. John B. Schwatka would be named in the third district, ana ex-City Councilman James W. Denny in the fourth. Such nominations would be highly representative and will bring out the bulk of the party vote. Dr. Schwatka was formerly in charge of the Baltimore University Hospital and en- deared himself to the poorer classes in the wards of the district. He has a strong fol- lowing among the German and Pollsh voters of East Baltimore and stands weil in the party. Mr. Denny’s good record as a city coun- cilman and member of the school board commends him to the independents. ARRESTS AT CANDIA. Ringleaders in Recent Masssacres Have Been Captured. CANDIA, Island of Crete, September 14.— The Mussulman authorities, in view of the admirals’ ultimatum, have already arrested twenty ringleaders of the recent massacres here. Bashi Bazouks Consent to Disarm. CANDIA, Island of Crete, September 14. The Bashi Bazouks have consented to dis- arm, provided their arms are delivered to the Turkish authorities. Turkey's Note to the Power CONSTANTINOPLE, September 14.—The Turkish government has sent a circular to the powers, alleging that the British pro- voked the disorders at Candia, claiming that the present situation is due to ths measures adopted by the powers in Crete, and protesting against the bembardment of Candia. The porte announces its refusal to with- draw the Turkish troops from Creta, in spite of the decision of the admirals that such a step {s absolutely necessary. The circular has made a bad impression in diplomatic circles. Es ARMY ORDERS. Brig. Gen. Peter C.

IS NOT DUE UNTIL TOMORROW Expectation That She Might Reach New York City Today. MEN TO HURRY HOME Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 14.—The trans- pert Alamo, which sailed from Porto R on September 8, having on board, among other soidiers, two officers and fifty-nine men of Company H, ist District of Colum- bia Volunteers, had not been sighted up to the time of going to press. The Alamo was scheduled to arrive on the 15th, but as a number of these transports have run in a cay ahead of time, it rather expected that she would be reported today. Your correspondent called upon Colonel Amos A. Kimball, the depot quartermaster, with a View to ascertaining just what dis- position would be made of the District boys upon their arrival, Col. Kimball said that Dr. Doty, the health officer of the port, had been instruct- ed to make his usual examinations as ex- peditiously as*péssthle” A¥ soon as the ves- sel is passed. through quarantine by t health officers she would be headed for the Pennsylvania railroad dock in Jersey City and the men disembatked and loaded upon the Pennsylvania trains for home. if, therefore, the Alamo passes through quarentine promptly with a clean Dill of health, she should be able to unload her troops for home on the day of her sighting. and the well men of the compe reach Washington the same night. CoL Kimball said he expected to find the ship and passengers in good condition, and that there would be little delay in quar- antine, and also that if the Alamo arrived on schedule time tomorrow the boys of Company H would be well tn their way home tomorrow night. ——— N ANXIOUS FOR y shou SPS PEACE. Significance of the Vote In the Cortes for the Protocol. In official quarters much satisfaction was expressed today over the reports from Madrid that the lower house of parliament had passed the government bill authoriz- ing the release of Spanish sov colcnies. The upper passed this measure, so that t of legislative opposition to the of Cuba, the Ladrones, Porto Rico or the Philippines is past. The authorities here feel that this them by the danger point, as It h red for some time that the animosities the Spanish cortes would lead to the house in defeat of the Spanish ministry, on the ques- either cor te tion of evacuating Spanish islan in one br or the other of the lt turns out, however, that, de! the clamor and personal contention in the cor- tes, the government has succeeded in hav- ing the protocol ratitied It is looked upon as significant showing that the representati Spanish people, no less than the mi are anxious for peace, as the protocol was ratified in both houses by a large majority. ++ IRWIN ON THE BENCE Clevelands Made Five Runs in One Inning. The reappearance of Arthur Irwin as manager of the Washington base ball team this afternoon was witnessed by a crowd of about 1,000, a double-header with Cleveland being the attraction. Manager Irwin sat on the bench and put Williams, one of the men he brought from Toronto, on the rub- ber, Farrell catching. Freeman, another player, was in right, Gettman playing first, Mercer short. Tom Brown was the only umpire to put in an appearance. Cuppy and Cruger were the opposing battery In the second, by hard hitting, bases on balls and fumbling by the infleld, Cleve- land scored five runs. O'Connor went out at first from Mercer. Heindrick singled to second and Tebeau struck out. Blake sin- gied past Smith, and Heindrick, who had stolen second, scored. Cuppy singled past Mercer, Blake going to third. Burkett took McAleer’s place and walked. Crieger hit one to Gettman, who fumbled it, and Blaks scored. Freeman gave a pass to McKean and Cuppy scored. Wallace hit to Merce: who made an awful mess of ft, and Bur- kett and Creiger scored. O'Connor flew out to Gettmen. Washington scored on a ae AMBASSADOR’S DEPARTURE. It is Stated to Be Without Any Sig- nificance. Baron Speck von Sternberg of the Ger- man embassy was at the State Department today, conferring with Assistant Secretary Moore. He made known the departure of the German ambassador, Dr. Von Wiolle- ben, for Germany, where he will take the baths at Carlsbad in hope of recuperating from an ailment which has seriously inca- pacitated him during recent months. Dr. Von Helleben will go first to Beriin to re- port to the foreign authorities. It is stated positively that the trip kas ro significance as bearing upon Germany’s interest in the Philippine question or other Political subjects, but is purely a health outing. During the ambassador's absence Baron Speck wili be charge d'affaires of German interests. He is just back from a Week's visit to Col. Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, and another week with Sir Julian Pauncefote at Pequot. The call of Baron Speck at the depart- ment today brought out no discussion of foreign questions. So, far as the Philippines are concerned, it {s understood that they have not entered the field of diplomatic exchange hetween the United States and Germany, so that there are no questions to be considered. While the authorities here recognize the interest of Germany and all other continental powers in the so- lution of the Philippine question, they view these powers as observers, rather than as partfcipants, in the solution. ——____+e._____ Grain, Provisions and Cotton Markets.

FINANCE AND TRADE Decline in Money Sends Prices Up. ward, SHORT SELLING SOON DISCOURAGED Call Rates Went Down From 4 to 21-2 Per Cent. GENERAL MARKET REPORT Ss Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 14.—The under- tone of today’s stock market was more en- couraging than any of its recent predeces- sors, the demand for stocks being inspired, for the first time in several days, by an actual desire for ownership. The opening hour reflected some hesitancy, and for a time the selling was superior to the buy- ing, but after a week of lower prices thera was a better market for today’s offerings. | Short selling was soon discouraged by the discovery that liquidation had ceased. The covering of previous sales and a be: ter legitimate buying demand forced prices vp sharply during the noon hour. The ad- vance was encouraged by the announ ment that five millions gold had be taken in London for export to the Unite’ States. Call money rates, which had been ruling around 4 per cent, suddenly declined to 2% per cent, the market advancing in almost direct ratlo with the decline in money. Fears of tight money have been lurgely sentimental, and the result of a sudd shock to the bellef that 1% per cent call money reflected a normal condition. The government bond transaction and the ter- mination of the war at a time when the new revenue law was becoming effective have led co an accumulation of funds in the federal treasury, which, if continued must become a handicap to commercial enterprise. Appeals to government officials have cor sequently been made by leading news agen- cies, looking to some indication of the ad- ministration’s plan for preventing a con- tinved decrease in the circulation, The re ply has almost always been that the «i tion has been exaggerated by stock-mar- ket interests and that routine developments will remedy the evils of 4 and 5 per cent call money. Exports of cereals and com- modities and imports of gold for balances already accrued should help restore a nor- mal monetary condition. The money tied up in the treasury on ac- count of the bond transaction will be offset by an increase in bank circulation once tha 3 ch the banks. The interest rate ill not lower stock values if the p: materi would t mall, them, _ On all sides confidence In ultimate is strong, and the addition or subst of a few fractions from transitery cau are of smail moment. Today's market rali ap, and nearly all Were included in the share a congressional electiong afer out of the way, but marginal operators need consider ita d with considera classes of securiti- movement. T very promptly, and the continued to uphold the predic s. ng of Northern Pacific was on a e and for the interests which Started the original upward movement. The declaration of the first dividend on Union Pacific preferred will be made shortly and there are good grounds for relying upon a email dividend on Northern Pacific common before current prices are materially ree duced.
