THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER "THE BASE BALL SITUATION One of the Most Exociting Races in the Game's History. IT wiLL BE DECIDED TO-DAY. The Groat Strugele Between New York and Boston For the Champlonship of the ational Leangne. Again both New York and Boston won yesterday, and still the New Yorks lead by the almder margin of two points. It is the greatest raco in the history of base ball, and intense interest is felt in the final outcome this afternoon, when the last games for 1559 will be played. If both teams win again to-day, New York wins the championship, but if New York loses and Boston wins, thon the Bean Baters will carry off the flag. The chances are about evon, and it may be aly said that the games at Cleveland and Pittsburg this afternoon, where the two leaders play, will be the most thrilling con- tests ever secen upon a ball fleld. It is csti- mated that the fullest capacity of the grounds in both cities will be tested, and seuts_will be sold at o premium. If both New York and Boston win this afternoon, it is feared by many that the championship will not yot be settled, as there is some doubt about one gamoe Now York won from Philadeiphis, a ame arbitrarily transferred from New ‘ork 1o the Philadeiphia grounds. This can only be done by the consent of all the clubs in the league, and in this caso neither New York nor Philadelphia asked such privilege. President Spalding yesterday received a telegram from Treasurer Howo of the Cleve- land club, asking his (Mr. Spalding’s) opin- ion us to the legality of the Cleveland and New York teams playing double games, Presdent Spalding, after thinking the t the following teleeram : there scem 10 be & Gues- yof all double games, To provent complications hopo New York and Eoston will agree not to play any more double games this season,’ Section 59 of the league constitution reads as follows: “‘Bach club shall play twenty champion- ship games, and no more, wilh every other club, but a tie or drawn game or games pro- vented by rain suall be played off on the same grounds the first suc- ceeding day (not counting Sundays or days when rain renders playig impossible, within the dates of the sawme schedule series be- tween such clubs, if any remain open; and if not such gamo may be played off on any open date on pither ground.” The truth of the matter is that under the wording of this rule all “double” games thus far played off this scason are illegal and snould not count in determiniug a ciub’s po- sition in the race. According to this section vostnoned games must be played on “‘open dates,” und postponed games that have been begun at 2 o'clock in the afterneon, preced- ing the regular schedule game, have not, therefore, been played on ‘“open dates.” This fact may lead to complications after the close of the season. By beating Philadelphiayesterday Chicago is safely anchored in third place, and the teams will end the race just as thoy appear m the following table: Played.

The various displays were unusually complete and magnificent.

Counsellor and Ike were making splendid speed, with scarcely & hair's breadth between them, when Ike broke just ot the turn, causing Counsellor's sulky to strike his wheel, tnrow- ing 1ke's driver, Dick Tilden, out, and at the same moment overturning Counsellor's sulky, crushing the wheel and throwing his driver out.

BUSINESS OVER THE COUNTRY. Reports krom All Parts Show In- croased Activity on the Wholo— Iron Bordering on A Boom— flures on the Incroase. The Weekly Resume. Nrw Yomk, Oct. 4.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee|—R. G. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of trade su A close money mar- ket, us was anticipated last woek, has checked operations to some extent. The shipmont of $1,000,000 in gold to Kurope by & firm ongaged in placing two large loans for foreign governmonts, snd therefore anxiouns to brevent further advance m Bunk of Kng- land rates, was all the clearer ovidence of the actual demand abroad because made at & small loss if reckoned at the current rate of exchange. A sudden fall in the rate from £4.88 1o $4.80)¢ was followed by an upward inovemont again, and it seems not improba- ble that the exigencies of the Argentine Re- public_and the placing of the Russian loan may affect the money market here. October disbursements and moderate purctases of bonds have made the market easicr for the present, but the rate on call, after rising 514 to 8 per cent and even to 80 per cent for a short time, is yet about 7 per cent, with no improyement in the commercial loan market. The reports of businoss from all parts of the country show increased activity on the whole, though in some branches trado is not up o the Soptember leval, Chicago finds business larger than a year ago, with heavy country orders, show rgo domand aud an easy financial coudition turoughout tae west. The_year's recemts of cereals fall oft & little, but of provisions are nearly doubled. Cleveland finds all branches improving and the factories full of orders. Pitisburg notes higher prices for iron and steel, glass business active with the works all oporating, and the coal trade dull. Throughout the west excellent crops are the basis of large buying by the farming districts and confident hopes as to the trade for the rest of the year. The bank exchanges for September show an increase over last year of ouly 2 per_ceat, at New Yorik, 25 per cent at Boston, Phila- delphia and Chicago, and 73§ per cent av all other cities taken Logesher. “ The iron business is in some danger of running into an uahealthy *‘boom,’” so great is the anxiety of many to stimulate the de- mand. Several large furnaces are about going into blast, and southern No 1 is still sold here at $1675, but higher prices than $18 are paid for desired brands, which are scarce, and structural plate and wrought bipe are strong, but of bar there is not much selling and_some mills are inviting orders at $18,50. Rails have actually sold for $20 in_considerablo quantity at eastern works, but Philadelphia_quoted #31, and the west correspondingly higher prices. Only 8,300 miles of railroad have been built in nino months of this yea, and it is still an open question how long the demand for iron and steel products in the aggregate will equal the increasing supply. ‘The wool market shows a better tone be- jons in price nave induced uctions, but the high asked still push consumers ake a great deal of cheap foreign wool instead of American. The sugar trust scoms not_unlixely to fol- low the copper syndicate aud the cotton corner, atleast as far as prices are concerned. Raw sugar lower, the demand for con- sumption being slack, and meanwhile heavy sales of sugar huve depressed the price about 90 cents. The cotton oil trust is also hedvily sold avd declined sharply. “Tin is lower at 201 cents, and lead quiet at 3.9 cents. The coal market improves but slightly in the amount of sales and not at. all in prices, 50 that attacks upon the coal carrying stocks have been encouraged. Speculation in wheat has weakened and the price is 13{ ceats lower, with sales of 46,000,000 bushels here. Corn is 1 cent and oats ’¢ cent lower, and pork steady. The general level of prices is, nevertheless a shade higher than on October 1, and has advanced 13 per cent since Sep- tember 1, a result due rather to the partial fuilure of some crops than to the increase of the monetary supply. The volume of nron in $ 0,000 larger than on the inc se in three months has been £23,600,000, but tho aggrogate is scarcely 1 r now than it was last December. he business failures i the United States for the quarter ending with September were 2,276, showing a decrease of 85 cr 3.7 per at from last year, but for nine months the number has been 7,599, showing an_incroase of 320, or 4 per cent. The liabilities for the past quarter have been swelled by a few large failures to 40 per cent more than for the samo quarter last year, but for nine months the aggregate has been an increase of 161§ per cent. The failures in Canada show a decrease 6 per cont in number and 40 per cent. in bilities for the past quarter; for the nine months there have been only three less than last year in numbér, but 16 per cent less in liailities. For the past weel the failures reported namber17? for the United States and thirty- four for Canads, azainst 192 last weelk 231 for the corresponding week last ye: 154 in the Unitea States and thirty-seven in Canada.

It reafiirns previous utterances, approves the geueral plan outlined by Commissioner Mor- gan, for comprehensive and compulsory edn- cation by the government in harmony and concurrence with the work of the churches and philanthropic socicties. Another plank asserts that as the high character of those engaged in the worl of Indian education and the permanance of their tenuro of office are essential to substantial progress, the confer- ence emphasizes the necessity of separating absolutely the appointments of such ofticers from the mutations of parties. On recom- mendation of Miss Robertson, a missionary among the Creeks in Indian territory, n reso- lution was ncorporated in the plaiiorm re ommending the bringing of these Indians into full citizenship and cxtending to them thé full protection of American laws. RELIGIOUS WORK IN JAPAN. A Returned Missionary Tells of the Progress Being Mad CmicaGo, Oct. 4.—[Special Telegram to John T. Swift, of New York City, who has been in Japan several years on missionary work, in an address to the min- isters in this city today, stated that the mental powers of the Japaneso are remari- able. The deeper problems of philosophy and metaphysics have un especial attraction for the Japancse students and they grasp them with singular force. *‘Such miuds are ‘wonderfully fitted for carrying forward the work of the church, butin’ that great im- perial university at Tokio, with its 8,000 stu~ dents, the truths of Christ are not taught. 1t is the hotbed of infidelity, the seat of ng- nostic philosophy. Men who are familiar with the pages of Mills, Spencer, Darwin and Huxloy have never heard of Jesus, yet even into this stronghokl of materialism the gospel has been carried. After some inquiry twenty-six christians were Tound among the students and an_association for work has been formed. The Japanese are turning to the English language. It is being taught in the schools and the pupils are required to study it. The demand for Enghsh - teachers is 80 greatthat almost any person is seized upon to teach, About seven thousand chil- dren in the empire are being educated under christian influences. Three millions are get- ting their education under the influences of agnostic philosophy.
