W. 0clO-m, wéef-3t-85 OUR TRADE WITH CHIN It is Second Only to That of Great Britain. Special reports from United States Con- sul Johnsen at Amoy and Consul Fowler at Chefoo just made public by the State De- partment show an enormous incr>ase of the foreign trade of China, and point out the great value of that part of ft originating in the United States. Last year the volume of the trade exceeded that for 1896 by 32,000, 000 taels, a tael being reckoned at 73.9 cents. The value of the United States trade in Ctina represented 15 per cent of the total, being mors than double the whole German trade and second only to Great Britain. As Consul Fowler puts it: “The value of United States exports to China is greater than that of all continental Europe and the Russias, European and Asiatic His fxuras show that last year this ex- cess amounted to $320,281. But these fig- ures, he says, are entirely too smali, for owing to the Chinese method of keeping treasury statistics, a large proportion of the goods coming from the United Stat=s are entered as from other countries. C sul Johnson says that kerosene no longer holds first place in the exports from the United States to China. Cotton goods is now the most valuabl> line of trade, and 40 per cent of the exports of cotton from the United States went to China last year. the value being over seven million doll BOSTON IS SECURE! ——.——— Can Lose All Its Games and Win the Pennant.

The race for the championship of the base ball season of 1898 virtually closed yester- day, so far as first place is concerned, the victory of the Boston men over the Sen- ators by 14 to 5 and the defeat of the Orl- oles by the alleged giants from New York giving the pennant to the champions again. On the part of the Washington men yester- | day’s game was about as sorry a spectacle as could be imagined, the errors charged up against the local players in the official score failing to give much of an idea of the numerous omissions and want of judgment of which they were guilty. As a disgusted individual in the bleachers remarked: “Say, dose fellers wouldn't never be run in for playin’ base ball. ‘The champions played a practically error- less game, a dropped fly by Captain Duffy being the only errer charged up against them, while they batted Baker all over the inclosure, although many of the hits were due to the rank playing of their opponents. Twenty hits, including four doubles and two wiples, fattened the batting record of the Boston men, while jive singles, a triple by Baker and a double by Smith ‘were all the Senators secured off “Parson” Lewis. Up to the fourth inning, when the score stood 3 to 1 in favor of the champions, the contest was a rather interesting one, bul in their half of the inning seven hits and innumerable errors on the part of Casey, ns and Smith sent nine men from the ss the plate. After that the vis- very easy, but the Senators that they score twice more, and ston men returned the compliment by permitting four Washington men to score. Seon! : shington. R. 1.

The Bosions y their last game with the Senators to- and then they finish up the season three games with Baltimore. They could Jose them all without jeopardizing th chances for the pennant. Besides the game uled Baltimore play tos and New York are 1y the two teams hav the ume of Monday to play off and also a postponed game, but one of these games will be played today, and the Orioles can win them both and’ also the three with Boston and still fail to tie the champions.

So it happens the Bostons will fly the pennant again. To thos us individuals who will not believe » honesty of the national game the victory of Boston in the cham- pionship race carries with it the strongest ation of the methods of the National League. It would have been the easiest for the Beaneaters to quit t ball in Washington during present series, and had they been de- ted immense crowds would assuredly ed to the Baltimore grounds to . losing series between the two ling clu Another bright particular in the cap of the Boston players, d all over with honesty, is the fact that they will receive nothing in the way of a prize for landing the Boston flag at the front of the procession. Had Baltimore won the players of that club would have had a prize of $4,000 to divide among them- selves. This fact should silence forever the very small minority of disgruntled base bail cranks who continually argue that the re- sults of the championship race are figured out before the season begins. thing possible playing their be the With the championship race of "9 set- tled, the Baltimore papers are a unit on the one point that, although beaten, the Orioles are the better p ‘3. Comparing the mea, position against position, it is hard to see just where the Maryland people have an argument. Take the two in‘iel4s as an illustration. Tenney is certainly a better man than McGann; in fact, the Bos- ton boy is about the best first baseman that “ever happered.” At second, Lowe egainst De Montreville. Place these two men on the market, and see which one will be gobbled up the quickest. Lowe is De Mont’s superior in every department of t game, except, perhaps, in batting ‘bili At short stop the blonde boy from Penn sylvania is assuredly the plucklest, brain- jest and quickest player that has ever heen seen in that position by the writer. Her- man Long is also a great short stop, but there ere several points in his playing that will not stand comparison with the Oriole short stop. At third base. McGraw axairst Collins, the comparison is about an even ore, Collins, perhaps, is more brilliant on the field. but this is offset by McGraw at the bat and on bases. In the field Holmes is surely not Duffy's equal; Kelley is not better than Hamilton, and in right field Baltimore again has the best of it In Keeler over Stahl. In the pitcher’s box Nichols is better than Maul, and outside of these two the twiriers even up on equal terms. Be- hind the bat Marty Bergen and Yeager have the Oriole catchers—Robinson ana Clarke—“beaten a block? Summing up the two teams, {twill be seen that. outside of Jennings and Keeler, the Bostons have the better of the argument, es they have at least five players who are considered better than their rivals on the Baltimore tearm. Today's game with Boston closes the sea- son of "98 In Washington. Without exeep- tion, @ more disappointing year in base ball has never fallen in the path of the Wash- ington enthusiasts. Before the bell rang for the first game last season the prospects of the Se:ators were cf the brightest. Dis- satisfied players had been traded off, and it was thought satisfied ones had been se- cured to take their places. As results showed. it vas simply a case of making a bad situation even worse, and after floun- dering around in the base ball pudéle for six months, the season closes with ovr rep- resentatives anchored in the eleventh posi- tion. No magnate took more interest in his club than did Earl Wagner last win- ter and spring, and as he had had # long experience in the national game he sin- cerely thought he knew all the Ins and outs of the sport. In this he was mistaken, and his mistakes have resulted in his being the chief sufferer. Long before the season was half cver Mr. Wagner saw the mistakes he had made, but it was then too late to gather together the scattered threads, ani the situation crystallized into a case cf “grin ard bear it.” Next season It ‘s to be hoped that the Wag- ners will witness the turning of the long rcad of reverses that they have been tra- yersing almost continuously since they hay taken holl of the Washington club. Arthur Irwin has heen signed for the seasor. ot 1899, and his control of the club wil! be ab- solute. Advice from owners or friends will “cut little ice” with Manager Irwin. He recognizes the fact that the Washing- ton patrons have about reached the limit of endurance im patronizing a losing club, and the task before him of placing a w'n- rer in the field is something monumental. Young players are attractive to the eye for a game or two, sensational plays being re- sponsible for this, but Irwin is too well posted to part with tried players of ability and confront the seasoned teams of the National League with raw recruits. The best thing for the Washington enthusiasts to do is to take a calm view of the situa- Uon, refrain from criticising the local man- ager. no matter what trades he may make, and in the balmy spring days of next year patronize the club should it be a winner, and keep away from the grounds should a repetition of passed years’ playing be on exhibition. Base Ball Briefs. Boston again today. Last game of the season in Washington. Yesterday’s game was a pretty exhibition from a Boston point of view; from a local view the exhibition was something of a nightmare. Pitcher Baker should not be harshly crit- icised for yesterday's defeat. When club tolls up a record of seven recognized errors and about five more that truly belong ia that class, the man in the center of the Giamgond plays a very small part. The clockwork regularity with which the Boston players took care of every throw, hit or steal had the stamp of champions all over it. They simply played good ball be- causc they know no other kind, and this te the story of the Bostons’ work during tke season just closing. evidently Manoger Ewing and P: Brush think a great deal ot Pitch Taylor. A more than passable good pitcher is Hill, and with him $4,000 is the stand-oft tor Taylor. From the looks of this ¢ it would appear that the Cincinnati people have not xiven up the idea of landing that pennant in one ef the future seasons. Connie Mack proposes to stick to the Western League. He draws a fat salary from the Milwaukee club, participates in the dividends earned, and, in addition, is exclusively his own boss. Connie was of- fered the managerial reins of the New York club, but refused to leave his good thing. Harly this season Fred Clarke wagered a box of cigars that he would be married be- tore Herman McFarland of the Cincinnatis. Clarke was married in July, while Mc: land wifl not become a benedict until the satter part of this month. McFarland will pay his bet before the Reds leave Louis- Ville. Hartzell has been decided upon as the Colonels’ utility outfielder for next season. ‘The position of utility infielder is yet to be filled. There are four candidates—Richter, ‘Taylor, Leach and Norman Elberfe!d. The first three named are on the ground every day. Elberfeld is supposed to be at his home near Cincinnati. All will be given 4 thorough trying out in the spring. Cards are out for the wedding of Billy , the outfielder of the Leuisvilles, and Anna M.

From the Cinctnuatt Enquirer. Tim Hurst is very unpopular with the members of his team. One of the Browns, and, by the way, one of the most valuable members of the team, told an intimate friend in this city the last time the Browns were here that the team weuld play better ball under some other manager. According to this player Hurst fs entirely too free in distributing profanity and billingsgate. “He talks to us much like the mate of a river boat does to a gang of roustabouts,”” said the player in question. “He would have been hooked up with one or more players tn a finish scrap long before this if the players were not afrald of being black- listed for nitting him. Why, he's got the gang scared to death of him.” The Chicago Inter-Ocean insists that Tim has already given up his job as manager of the Browns. In yesterday's issue it says: “The roly-poly figure and fine Irish accent of Sir Timothy Hurst were missing features of the games with St. Louis Saturday and Sunday, but nobody knew why. The real reason was that ‘Timothy had no business in Chicago, as he hadn’t been manager of the mound city team for a week. At pres- ent he is down in St. Louis engineering outlaw bicycle races at Athletic Park.” It is a certainty that he will have noth- ing to do with the Browns next year, even should the proposed deal to transfer the Cleveland team to St. Louis fall through. ‘Tim's best friends, and he has many of them who wish him well, cannot say that he has been a startling success as a man- ager, and besides he was extremely unpop- ular with his players. It is said on good authority that when he asked Muckenfuss for his release as manager not a man on the team was on speaking terms with him. In all probability next season will see Tim back on the diamond caliing balls and strikes. He stands well with Young, and can hate an appointment if he wants it. As for a new St. Louis manager, there is already talk in that city regarding Lave Cross’ capabilities tor that precarious and thanktess job. THE ATLANTIC ASSOCIATION.

INTERCITY céxTEsTs. Proposed Athletic League to Include Washington ‘and Baltimore. From the Baltimore Sup. = As the result of a discussion between Baltimore and Washington athletes after the Columbian games. last Saturday, an intercity league of athletic clubs may hold games this fall or next spring. It was urged last Saturday by Baltimore- ans that since our athtetes-were carrying off four-fifths of that day’s prizes, a return trial should be given the Columbia Athtetic Club, and it was suggested by a Hopkias man that an intercity league be formed of all good clubs in this state and the District of Columbla. It is said that there is no question that such a league, through its broad interests, would do more for the ex- pansion of athletics in this section of the country than anything hitherto projected. The proposed plan to form such a league with two sets of games, one here and one shington in the spring and fall, has siastically received by the Hop- track and field management and b saci William M, Mackdermott, who have promised to do their utmost to put the plan into practice. An effort will probably be made to extend the Maryland hletfe Tnion to the District of Columbia, and if this is not done it is likely that the Hopkins University will take the Initiative in making the dual ar- rangement. ‘Track Owners to Meet Again. Owing to the unavoidable absence of sev- eral of the prominent cycle track owners lit- tle was done Monday at the meeting called to take place at the Broadway Central Hotel in New York. Mr. Eline of Baltimore, after conferring with the representatives of the other tracks, decided that another date would be more satisfactory, and the time will be announced after conferring by mail with the leading tracks and race-promoting clubs. Besides Washington and Baltimore, the tracks represented were Manhattan Beach, Berkeley Oval, Vallsburg, N. J., Ambros? Park, indianapolls, and Hochester. Dashicl to ©: vire the Big Matches, At a conteicy. > yesterday of the athletic authorities of Yale, Princeton and Har- vard to arrange the appointments of oftl- clals for the Yale-Princeton and Yale-Har- vard foot ball games it was agreed that Paul J.

Ex-Captain McClung of Lehigh has also been agreed upon by Yale and Harvard for referee of their game, and it is probable that he will act in a like capacity at the Yale-Princeton game.

Joseph Hawkins has been convicted in the United States district court at Balti- more on a charge of forgery, perjury and the filing of a false claim against the gov- | ernment of the United States in connection with his application for pension filed in 1897, in which he alleged that he had sery- ed in Company E, 86th United States Col- ored Infantry. s In support of this application he filed the genuine discharge certificate which was 1s- sued to William Simpson, a private who had served in said organization, and which had been altered in Hawkins’ own hand- writing for the purpose of showing tnat he performed the alieged service. "There were five members of the company who testified most positively that they had never seen Hawkins before and had never served with such a man, as weil as cumula- tive evidence to show that the forged cer- tifleate was originally issued to William Simpson and that Simpson had been fcund dead in a boat in the Tred Avon river, Md., DIAMOND VALUES!

According to the testimony of Mr. Bell and his neighbors, Gibson represented that he would obtain a pension for the man, though he was only a cook, and obtained some thirty odd dollars from him for his pretended services, giving to his victim a check, which, according to the writien line, was for thirty-seven hundred dollars, and, as stated in figures, was for $370, purporting to have been drawn by S. E. Evans on January 12, 1899, on a local bank of Balti- more. Gibson is alleged to have represent- ed that this check was the check of Com- missioner of Pensions Evans. —_—_—_—_+ 0+_.___ PORTO RICAN MAILS, and Tiffany setting | No baits.
