THEY THUMPED TUCKERMAN. The Saintly Oity Pitcher Was a Puddin’ for Our Boys. 'TWAS SIXTEEN RUNS TO SIX. Homers Were Plenty With the White Sox and Base Hits a Drug in the Markot—Another Waterloo. Omaha 16, St. Paul 6, That's two! One more and the Omaha's may have the earth, Wil they get it? Hope 8o, anyway. There must have been fully three thousand people out at the park, yesterday afternoon, o seo tho White Sox take their fifth game of the season from the Apostle: And what a game it was—a livel game, characterized by some &p! ting, some intoresting errors and a whole lot of brilliant ficlding—and best of all, Omaha ‘won it. Thero wero lots and lots of spectators to cheer their fine stops and_ throws. They seemed anxious to get rid of a few of the old Id trimmings which they donned the day fore. But they didn't get rid of thom all by a long shot, and if there is a milliner who would like to open up shop, she can get any uantity of safforn frills and furbelows by plying to Captain Carroll. They just re- ned & sufticicnt amount of the ochre to rt three thousand Omahans to the d of base ball delirium, port opened uv with a great big hur- After Cooney’s out Cleveland took his base on balls, and Strauss his on an error by very frosh Mr. Reilley. Then Jack Crooks hit one 80 hot at Mr. Tuckerman that he had to to cool his fingers, and could again got his flanges and fleld it to Hawoes, Crooks was perched upon the bag, with his face cracked fiom ear to ear, Of course Grover and Jakey had each advanced a cushion 1 the play On Andrews' long sacrificial stroke to tho apostolic Italian in the middle garden, Cleve- land ran across the plate with the first run. A wave of dim music swelled from out the grandstand at this, And then there was more and mora of that same sweet harmony as Walsh cracked out a two sacker, sending Mr. Strauss and Mr. Crooks in. But no mbre runs were scored, although a passed pall let Joe to third and Nagle and ‘Willis both got their base on balls. Clarke's grounder to Hawes wound up the business. For the Saints, Hawes led off with a two er, and arter Murphy's out to Cleve- 1and, he made third on Carroll’s out. Reilley got his base on bails, but it all amounted to :0;_:!:!119:. for Grover threw Werrick out at L. Cooney again led off in the second, and this time with a slashing single, only to be forced at second, however, by Cleveland. Strauss hit to right for a base, Grover reaching third, Tuckerman tossed Crooks out at first, but Wagenhurst juggled Andrews® rap, and Cloveland run home and Strauss to third. Walsh brought him in a moment later on a tine sin scoring h f a lit- we after on a_decayed play by Mre. Werrick, ‘which also allowea Nagle to reu first. Wil- lis was thrown out oy Reill But four more scores wasn’t bad, anyway. You'd thought so if you had heard the people cheer. In their half, St. Paul gathered in a couple for herself. On Willis' muff, after a long run, Brough- fon made first, and on Clarke’s error of Farmer's hit he galloped round to third, the ruralist making first. Wagonhurst wont out to first and Tuckerman forced Farmer out at second. Hawes sent both ba runners in on a dandy two-bagger. Omnhn'g.lhirll and fourth were unproduct- ive, but St. Paul scored a tally in each. The ‘The first was made by Carroll who reached third by the grace of a little bad judgment of Willis, thus after Reilly had popped one up to Cleveland, he scored on Werrick’s sac- rifice. The second Karmer captured. He ROt to first on balls, stole second by the skin of his molars, asa came home on Tucker- man’s out at first. smashed him for a long fly to center, which, unfortunately, Murphy received with great cordiality. Willis, however, sent one sibilatiug like a bullet over his head, and he ran round to third, while Old Dad' Clarke lifted him over the fence fora homer. No very hurd luck there, was there! In their half the saints also tallied. Reilley made a magnificent drive over the left field fence for four sucks. It was a tremendnus hit and the youthful chap was made to doff his cap. He didn’t want to do it a bit, though, for the bleachers had just finished roasting’ him 10 a tune. You see the boy’s a little promature, In the sixth, Omaha again made four runs, but as this getting sort o'tiresome. Suffice it to state that on a hit and a steal by Crooks, a hit cach by Walsh and Nagle, a wild pitok and two exuberant errors by Mr. ‘Werrick, of Louisville, was accountable for the whole business, It was a very entertaining inning, and way out in right ficld, Captain Carroll executed a wild war-dance of misery and tore his gri zled hair in the depth or dispair. The sp: tors arose to their feet and howled un- til their suspender buttons gave way and the stiffening in their spinal columns were gone. Right here Tuckerwan concluded he had had an elegant suficiency and ho gave way to Wells: Murphy also rotired and Mains ‘went to the field. Both sides were blanked in the lucky seventh, as wis Omaha also in the eighth, 8t Paul, however, made another run. Hawes hit for three bases and scored on Carroll’s single. The ninth was marked by thros more runs for the locals. [Por the third time Cleveland his base on balls; Strauss laced out a wo-bagger, and Walsh and Nagle a single ©each, and as the Apostles failed to accom- Plish anyibing in their half, the tale 1s tola. ‘The sume teams play again this aftornoon, and if you want to sce the game, iv would bo a good plan to go early, for there is going to " be a game, sure, ‘The score of yesterday's matince: = sox S > clcovrcrmocy = | orwmbien wl|eccowocee Sl rocseocaczo, w| mmemocccen ~l coccorccce =l cconoccccecE |l cconwarces? © £ 18] mesoceaxcoe> izl omrrccucont BUMMARY.

Spokane had been favored by far: still, the other horses had their backers. Proctor Knott, though defeated on more than one fleld, was not considered disgraced, and many thousand dollars were staked upon his ability to win the race. Don Jose, too, was also considered by many to stand every bit us good a chance as Spokane. There was also a string tip on Onee Again, As the time of the race drew near the noise made by the bookmakers grew louder and louder, and odd were cried in vociferons tones on every hand. The rush about the betting booths was enormous, and hundreds of people were unable to get within firty feet of a bookmaker. Spokano was a hot favorite at six to five, though large sums of money were also et on nearly every other horse in the race. Nearly $1,000,000 changed hands at the resuli. The race was an exeiting one because the tremendous crowd made it so. There was 10 great show in the preliminary parade, in whicih each of the contestants looked fit to compete for the valuable stakes, Torrento was the first on the track. Then Proctor Knott appeared, and he was followed by Long Dance, Don Jose, Retrieve and Once Again. Last came Spokans, During the three break-aways Proctor Knott broke in front each time. When the flag fell to an excellent start Once Again was in front, fol- lowed by Torrento, Don Jose, Proctor Knott, Long Dance, Retrieve and Spokane in the order named. ‘The “‘Dare Devil” immediately plied the whip, and Knott shot ahead ilike a flash, Once Again being taken back by Murph, ‘The pace was fairly fast, and all seemed con- tent with their positions, which, down the stretch and past the stand,were not chanced, except that for a moment Don Jose wmade a spurt. Knott had an advantage of two lengths over the others, who were well bunched, with Spokane bringing up the rear under ISiley’s strong pull, Knott lost. some of his lead, und at the three-quarter pole Torento was gaining. Then the pace became desperate. When the half mile mark fell behind the racers there was just daylight between Knott and Retrieve, while the others, except Once Agam, cut off on the turn, and the jockey, pulling hiw to the outside, made up the lost ground so rapidly, that his backers trembled with joy. As the home stretch was reached he was again second, but there Proctor Knott gave out, and there Spokane made his run, So fast did he come that in rushing past the last quarter he was actually leading, while Knott bad already fallen into third place. Again Torrento advanced, but though stronger than those behind, could not disturb Spokane, who came away under Kiley's upraised hand, but without tasting whip or spur, and won very easily by a full length, Torrento was second, a head before Retrieve, third, followed by Don Jose, Long Dance, Once Again and Proctor Knott. The latter, cut up and very tired, stopped at the paddock and was taken to his stable, while the crowds hurrahed and the band played as a saddle of roses was placed upon the winner’s haunches. S0 much money came down from the northwest that Spokane went to the park a heavy favorite at six tosive. The other clos- ing odds were two to one; Don Jose, four to one; Once Again, six to one; Forento, eight to one; Long Dance and Retrieve, thirty to one, each.

Ellen Foster, of Iowa, chairman of the Woman’s National Republican committee and well known as a republican prohibitionist, was in the city vo- day on her way home from Rhode Island. Speaking of the recont defeats in the east, she sald it was new evidence of the “‘power and extent to which the liquor trafiic has de- praved the people of this country.” She de- nied that there had becn a genuine test Rhbode Island and New Hampshire, but added that in Massachusetts and Pennsylva- nia the contest had been free and fair, “The republican party in both states," said she, “declared for submission and o i i ’ she - : political party is responsibie for the success or falure of this politico-moral question, The temperance people,” Mrs. Foster saia, “will keep in the old lines of moral suasion 'worls, and when the time is ripe and the in- tollerant mssumptions of the liquor power in politics reach a point beyond endurauce the outraged people will sweep this un-American oligarchy from the coun- try. “The probibiion work,” said Mrs. Foster, “will not be abandoned, as we believs all legislative remedies to be transient and superficial.” ’ Asked if she was opposed 10 national pro- hibition, Mrs. Foster said : “Not at all.

But Few Indiapg Bome Forward to 8 the Bill IRON HORSE’S ELOQUENT TALK, “‘This Land is the Great Spirit's Wife and is My Mother—I Can Not 11, Her Nor L Her." Loth to G p Their Land. Pixe Rinae, D (via Rushville, Neb,,) June 22.—[Special Telegram to Tns B, |— This has been a very unsatisfactory day in Pino Ridge. But few signors have como forward to enroll themselves, though some very diligent worlk has been done in a quiet way to secure the names of as many as pos- sible. A number of conferences have been hela with individual Indians, and in most cases good seed was sown. This has been the new policy of the commission, to disinte- grate tho combined opposition by working with the individual, not the band. This was the policy adopted at Rosebud, and was suc- cessfully carried out. It is probable that the council of to-day will be the last general council of Indians held here, as the result of this council were so unfavorable in the effect ‘which it had upon the wavering ones. The council met this afternoon with about a hundred Indians prosent representing the different bands of the agency. American Horse opened the seance with a talk about Indians being allowed to furnish hay for the agency instead of it all being done by con- tract and the money circulated off the reser- vation. He disclaimed any intention of oc- cupying the time of the convention, ‘‘There ‘were representatives of the different bands present, let them come forward and give their reasons for their action.” Fire Thunder was the first to follow in a speech in which he said that they had held a council with General Crook the other day, and he told them to make up their minds at once as ho wanted to know how they felt, and then he wanted them to o over to the office and declare themselves for or against the bill. This they had done and made a de- cision against signing. *“*‘We all decided, so we do not wish to detain you here. You may as well go to where there is more work for you to do."” No Flesh, a warm supporter of the measure, then spoke rather lukewarmly in behalf of the bill, stating some causes which he had for complaint in_the matter of boas, farmers, ete. He paid his respects to the present system of camp schools, and advo- cated a single large boarding school instead. Then began a march which-was dishearten- ing to those wishing to obtain signatures. Big Ead, an influential ¢hief, then spoke for_his_band, saying in substance the same as did Fire Thunder. He sai When our children grow up and are educated, then you can come here, and they will be better able to treat with you.” High Wolf, Spotted Elk, Iron Horse, Fire Lighting, No Water and White Cow Killer followed in the same stramn, saying their decision was made and they could not change, Iron Horse said,l‘‘Listen to me. Iam an Indian. This land is the Great Spirit's wife and is my mother, I cannotsell her nor leave her.” Speeches were made ggainst the bill in long winded talks eviddntly made against time to prevent any action’ by those in sympathy Wwith the commission antl their work. Young Man Afraid of His Horses and Little Wound talked atength, but with no new ideas. Charging Shield changed the monotony of the run by favoring the bill, as did Bear Nose, a young:Indian who, under Crook’s influence felt inclined to act for him- self and not allow the chiefs and old men to control his actions. He had something to say about Red Cloud aungd-his bribe-taking, openly accusing him of taking.money to influence his actions, He said’ had been on the fence welching thet-tall tree bend in the winds, not knowing on which side it .would fall. Otnershort talks-were induiged, when the council broke up with a speech from American Horse to'the people. He spoke in substance as follows: ‘‘Here you have al! been talking, talking like a varcel of children, and what have you said. I have asked these commissioners to tell us all about the bill, and you sat around here listening, but you are bhind and deaf. Your ears are full of dirt, you can not hear. Have you given a_single reason for your action, not one; but you say you will wait till your children are grown up. You will be like our brothers in the Indian terri tory who waited for their children to grow and then they lost the opportunity, for the white men made iaws and took the land any- way." This speech checked in some measure the bad moral effect which so many contral talks had upon this casily swayed people, creatures of impulse as they are. There are now about four hundred signers and a few coming in. About fifty signed yesterday. e AN INDIGNITY RESENTED. Woodruff Sues a Museum For $19,500.

Keeper A W Arrest. Cnicaco, June 22.—A new arrest was made this afternoon in the Cronin case. The prisoner is Michael Walsh, a plumber, who has been working at Joliet, He knew Mar- tin Burke, the Winniveg suspect in Chicago, Burke, it is reported, turned up in Joliet the day after the Cronin tragedy, aud remained with Walsh practically penniless until June 9, when, 118 thought, 4 money order came to the Winnipeg man ffom Chicago. The natural inference would be ‘shav Walsh's arrest was due to a desire on the part of the police to elicit lnythingo! value he may know regard- ing Martin Burke, the supposed Frank Williams, with wham Cronin drove off May 4, never to be seen again.

A Subjeot That Needs Attention, SAN F'rANCIS00, June 22.—[Special Telo- gram to Tie Bee. ]~ Along the water front groat interest is manifested as to the action of the noxt congress regarding steamship subsidios, for unless something is done all American steamers will be driven from the Pacific. Since the passage of the exclusion act the Pacific Mail company has had to de- pend wholly on freight trafMo with China, The Canadian Pacific line is heavily subsi- dized by both the imperial and dominion gov- ernments, and new fast steamors have been put on that run from Yokohama to Van. couver in the past two wecks, The conse- quence is that they are getting all the pas senger traffic and the best part of the freight traffic which goos over the subsidized Cana- dian Pacific rond. The New Zealand gov- ernment has withdrawn 1ts mail subsidy to the Ocean line, and now only New South Wales contributes, and their contract ex- pires in a yoar, during which time they will look after other lines. The colonies are much hurt at the utter indifference of tho United Statos, as the lattor receive most of the benefit in the way of commerce. The Canadian and imperial governmoents are anxious to divert mail and trade to the Canadian lines, and unless something is done our large and rapidly growing trade with the South Pacific islands and Australia will be ruined. The outlook is good for laying an ocean cable w the Hawiian islands. Canada is also anxious to get this, but the islanders much prefer a line to the states, Columbus ‘Waterhouse, a reprosontative of the Hawiian syndicate, arrived this week to interest Americans in taking stock, A large amount has already been subscribed in Honolula. He says work will be commenced in eightoon months, and that more than 81,000,000 is now subscribed. It will cost $1,500,000. The railway elections and changes which occurred during the past week have had much effect on the entire west. The elections at Portland, in the Oregon Transcontinental and Oregon Railway and Navigation compa- nies, resultea in a victory for Villard, The Union Pacific has gained victories of much value to that line and benefit to Omaha, It will soon penctrate Spo- kane Falls and share in the enormous trade of eastern Washington with the Northern Pacific, and will before many months have a direct outlet to Puget Sound. The Santa Fe made trafiic arrangements with the Chicago & Northwestern, and with the Wabash. By the latter arrangements the Santa Fe runs direct into St. Louis, making connection at Bucklin, Mo. This 1s of great advattage to the west, as iron, beer, clothing and much merchandise comes from St. Louis. A case of rank injustice done to a witness has just come to light here. On February 11 Robert Phelan was arrested for the murder of Arine Johuns: Three witnesses to the killing were locked up. No information was filed by the prosecuting attorney till March 20. The three and prisoner were notar- raigned to plead till the 30th, and the next day entered a plea of not guilty, but for some reason did not again appear in court till May 6. They were then returned to jail withoat ~any action on the case. It was _finally placed on the calendar on May 13, and subsegrently set for trial'on July 15. ‘C'wo of the witnesses, Andrew J. Johnson and Charles Halvursen, are sd The othel ward Orlandi, is a lumber mill laborer. Not being able to furnisn bail, all were locked up. They have been confined ever since as common crimin- als, and thrown into cells with murderers, burglars and others, Johnson says that when fivst locked up they were thrown into the dark hole for three weeks, which was flooded at times from the winter rains. Later Johnson secured a position in the kitchen, and favored his comrades as much as possible. Nearly all the judges are taking a vacation, and it is more than likely that the case will agaiu be postponed and these men languish in prison another month for being innocent witnesses to a crime. The case will be called to the attention of the grand jury, and an investigation is probable. Half a dozen big suits to recover nearly one haif of the city have been filed during the past week. Part are based on old Span- ish concessions, and part on pure gall—none but what bave been exploded before, and they are looked upon as mainly blackmailing schemes. Still, they have had influence on the realestate market. The Anglo-Pacific St company, an English syndicate capitalized av$10,000, will soon begin the erection of large iron and stoel works—the first erected on the coast.

WHY STANDFORD WAS REMOVED, Becanse 1t Was Olearly Shown Thas He Lacked the Qualities of the Just Judge—Washe ington News, 518 FOURTRENTA STREKT, Wasmxaron, D. C., June 22, Congressman-elect Moore, of Now Hamp- shire, editor of the Nassua Telograph, is the last and one of the most forcible to urge the election of postmastors by the committoos ‘Which they would bo obliged to serve.

He daeclares that “any member of the New Humpshire legis- lature 18 @ statesman and occupios a thor- statesmanliko position comparod to o senatorial and congressional mongers in federal patronage that ropresent the state of New Hampshire at Washington.” His colieague, Congressman Neuat, it scems, so- lected a postmaster for a certain town after some difficulty. That postmaster very soon fell sick and died. Toero was the same tussle again among the candidates for the succession; so Congressman Moore ap- proaches thoe subject agan with chagrin and fear, **This systom,” he sald, “‘that makes potty peddlers and auctioneers of the members of the national congross will bo stranglod some day. The system is a nuisance and a por- perversion. Itis a burlesque upon repro- govornments. Its only fruits are contention, weakness and rottenness.” * n Moore comes to Wash- ington ho will find either tnat he knows more than he thought he did about the subjeot, or that he doesn’t know much. STANDFORD'S REMOVAL, ‘T'he position of the department of justico with regard to'the removal of Chief Justice Standford, of Utah, was found out to-day to be this: Charges affecting Standfora’s stand- ing as a judge were forwarded to the depart- ment by luwyers and izens of Utan with- out regard to party, They maintained intho aflidavit not only that he persistently re- fused to carry out to the letter and spirit of the Kdmund's anti-polignmy law, but that training and tempera- ment he s wholly without the qualifications of the just judge. When these charges were brought to the attention of the attorney-general he began a searching inves- tigation. .He found that not only theso charges, but othiers fully as serious could bo proved. He, thereiore, after consideration with the president, cafled for Standfora’s resignation; that Mr. Clevaland's oppointee refused to send, then his removal was de- manded. He could not prevent that. Ex- “hief Justice Zane, who was removed by Cleveland to make rcom for andford, the New York ward worker, was recommended for his old position by the same lawyers and citizens of the territory without regard to v, and he was promptly avpointed.

It was very dull to-day, with the president and postmaster-general out of town, Only one real patriot called at the white house, He is much disappointed that General Har rison was not there to receive him. “Let me see Lige Halford,” he said, “he will do all right. 1 don't carewho I see if I get the office T want.” He did see the private secretary and went away in good spirits. Whether lie gets that office or not is another question. TIE CENSUS EMPLOYES, The question whether the census bureau shall bo put under the jurisdiction of the civil service comm: not is not answered yet. Superintendent Porter main- tains that it is a serious legal question whether the secretary of the interior could delegate powers which congress had dis- tinctly and in terms conferred upon him to use in other brauches of the government. The question, he says, is not one of the ex- amination of clerks, but one of far greater import, namely, the methods of appointing those clerks, “As the law now stands, and according to Senator Hale as it was in. tended id, the appointment of all the employes of the bureau is vested i the secretary of the interior and the super. intendent of the census, the latter recom- mending and the former approving. Should the civil service s point, the method of the appointments would be ab- solutely changed. This 18 the legal aspect of the case. The other question, Mr. Porter ry employm The muximum number of clerks employed in the Tenth census was in March, 1881, 15,000, In March, 1888, 1,206 had been dis- charged. Abouv twdo thousand will probably be employed upon the next census. Within -~ one year 1,500 or 1,700 will have to be dismissed. Superin- tendent Porter contends that it would bo outrageous to allure applicants here from Maine and _California and leave them stranded. He 1s not worried about the out- come of the controversy. Secretary Noble is on his side, and the memb of the census committee as well o5 Seuator Hale are be- lieved to be with him, W NEBRASKA POSTMASTERS. Burwell, Garfield county, Frani A.
