Well, that is just the size of the Denver team. They play ball, that must be admitted, and 1€ they keep on pluying thoy are liable to stumble on to a victory one of these fine days. But let us hope the accident will not occur n Omaha. The Black Sox were again on their mettle yesterday, and after about as stubborn a con- test as one ought to wish for, they managed to beat the Mountaineers out the second time, But it required ten innings to do it, and ten innings of as fierce a fight as you ever Jooked at. A great crowd took advantaze of the Sat- urday half holiday and journcyed up to the park to see the battle And they were not sorry they made the trip, for they saw the Champions win the most exciting game of the season. The day was just right for 4 ball game, and the players were all fecling good and’ the crowd at its best. And the ladies were there by the score and transformed the reserve department into a very parterre of beauty. Omaha went {irst to the bat and found their old confrere, Jack Fanning, hard to fathom. Canavan and Walsh sent the ball into the air only to sec it fall into the venge- ful grasp of Curtis and White, while Tommy Iearns made three successive apertures in the air big enough to drive an ice wagon through. In their half none of the visitors saw first, cither. Cleveland threw MeGlone out at fiest, Medlellun wafted and Willis took care of Comanche Tredway’s fly. Bsut in the second Omaha solyed the mys- tery of Funning’s draps to the extent of four greut big aldermanic runs, that were vocifer- ously applauded. Hines und Andrews were presented with fivst in quick succession_by the {vild and ex- citable cx-Omahog. Then Willis sent a Deauty out to left, on which Hines scored and Wailly made third, Cleveland struck out. But Morau stepped up and before anybody ‘was ready to vell, swatted out a two-sacker, Andrews and Willis scoring, of course. Clarke's lucky single then tallied the former r of Kearney, und some ebullient youth he grand stand cried : Oh, what a pud Clarke then ran for second. Wilson made a quick throw and everybody thought Dad was caught, but he made a great skate on his car and camio up covered with dustand glory, for Bundle said *'not out.” And then what a shout went up for Clarke, He got 1o farther, however, for Canavan struck out and Walsh was retited at fiest on a great stop and throw by White, or Rowe’s men, Curtis was thrown out by Clarke, big Dave sent a fly to Willis, and al- though Whito made a single, it mmounted to nothing, a3 Reynold’s pop-up was cared for by Canavan. i Tu the third Kéarns sent a_grounder to Rowe and went into the coacher's pen. Fan- ning tried hard, but ho couldn’t get 'em over tho Dinte, und so Hines for tho second timo ambled 1o first on bulls, only to be doubled up with Andrews, however, who hit to Tunning, who threw to White, who had cov- ered second, and then White got it over 0 Rowe in time to retire Wally too, For Denver, Wilson flied to Hines and Fanning went out from Walsh to Androws, but the two Macs, Glone and Clellan, both singled, and it looked very runlike' for a moment or two. Big black Tredway then spat upon his hands and prepared to bit her out of the lot, but the best ho could do was to sond a nice easy one out to Willis, and again Denver was slathered with whitewash. hen Omaha made her fifth run. Willis went out at first, but Cleveland faced Mr. Fanning left-handed, and aftor one or two futile attempts he made the proper connection, and when the sphere had censed its wrial fiight the third baseman’s rotund forin was posing just ninety feet from home. Moran couldn't bring bim, for he went out on a little one to thivd, but Clarke was the man for the oceasion, and he cracked out a singlo and the deed was done. Canavan fol- Towd with a sufe one, but Walsh's out ended the inning. In her hhif Denyer mado hor first tally Atter Curtis had been cared for by Kéarns, Canavan made a blunder and Howe was given a life. Ho made a good steal of the next bag, and then after White had fanned, can all the way home on Willis' muff of Royuold’s long fiy, Wilsou struck out. But Omaha offset this a moment later. After Kearns had flied to Tredway, Hines made a hit, and on very yellow errors of Cur- tis, Whiteand Wilson made the trip round the bases, and that was Omaha's last run until tho tenth inning. The Afth and sixth were blanks for Den- ver, but {n tho soventa she made a run on Reynolds’ sivgle and MeGlone's double, In th eighth they added two more, and thore were signs of & squall ahead, Everybody was Lervous. Fatal augury ! ¢ In the ninth Denver tied the score, and the *ohs " that emanated from the sweltering sud frantio cranks in the grand stand were Joud and poignant enough o have touched the heart of a stone. Now begau & mighty hotEfight for the win- ning run, and as it" progressod the excite- ment and enthusiasm rose to fover heat. Clevoland was the fiest battor up in the momentous tenth, but he was only up for a brief period, for White gathered up bis lazy grounder and slammed him out at first so uick it made half the people sick. Moran en smashed & hard one right at MeGlone, sud what did Mae do hut drop it as if it was chargod with electricity. Billy wos safe, | and how the ¢rowd aid ~cheer. Clarke fol: lowed with a safe ono inside the dismond, ¢hich reached big Dave's ontstrotehod hands whilo bie was n the air, and of courso it was ahit. Canavan followed with a_hit, scoring Moran and sending Dad to socond. Then you ought to have heard the volume of sound that arose from grand stand and bleach. | ers, Tho ladies flaunted thelr handkorchiefs, while the men and boys stood up in their seats and indulged in a yelling mateh. For & moment the uproar was deafening. Quiet came with Walsh's out to Curtis, and when Tommy Kearns also_gave up on & high foul, tho bush of the tomb settled over che ark. 0 Pk the Denyors, Reynolds sent upa little fly which Walsh Canavan and Clarke all three went for, and the result was neither go it, and Reynolds got his base. Graclous gooducss! Was Omaha to be on after all! This bit of luck at once restored Denver's nerye, that was patent to all, and it was evi- dent ‘she meant to hurl her bone into the fray. For a moment it looked like a rout, but just as the crowd was dispairing White hit a grounder to Walsh, which Walsh punced upon like a cat, He grabbed it up, ilacs, dust, gravol and all, and fired it to Canavan, and Jimmy, without waiting to suy “Thank you, Josie, ole boy, fired it t0 An- drews, and about the luckiest double ever be secn on the home grounds was the result. A wild s Fannin ne of jubilalion fellowed. then made a nice single, but MeGlone’s out from Walsh to Andrews un- ceremoniously terminated the great steuggle. irand, wasn't it The score: OMAA.

THE SPEED RING. The American Derby. Cmicaao, June 21.—“Uncle Bob.” That was the yell rising in discordant triumph over the combined roar of 40,000 voices at ‘Washington park today. If the noted Ken- tucky thoroughbred bearing the familiar name had really been the unecle of the thou- sands shrieking “his cognomen he conld not have responded more graciously. With ridiculous ease the noble blue grass beauty plunged forward. down the long stretch of spongy mud and jumped past the judges the winmer of $18,000 cash stakes and the first honors of the Amer- ican derby” A more inspiring speetacle has seldoni been witnessed than the gathering of the throng which came to see decided the great event of the western turf. Notwith- standing the heavy rain last night and the forbidding look of this morning’s sky the grand stand and greensward seemed buried under swarming people long bofore the hour set for the races. Graduaily the crush in- ereased, and when the opening contests be- gan every aisle and stairway, to suy nothing of the seats, was jammed to suffocation. The cheering began immediately on the ap- pearance of the first contestant. It was sooabye, followed closely with Ben King: bury, Jed, Mount Lebanon and Sunnybrook. Thé annotncement had already been inade of the withdrawal of Protection, Frontino, Sinaloa and Grayson. Last of all came the favorites—Uncle Bob avd Lucky Baldwi entry, the sinewy-looking Californian, San- tiago. While the bulk of the crowd was shouting itself hoarse many others with money on the race studied onde again the card where it read: “Third race, American derby, sweepstikes for three-year-olds at §250 each, with £,500 added, $1,000 to second and $00 to third horse, mile ‘and a half.”. The soven horses quickly assembled at the post and when the red flag foll the thoroughbreds were off like the wind, but as perfectly aligned as afilo of infautry, Goodbye was the first to 2 a trifie ahead, but it was only a trifie. ing tho stund Jed was slightly in the with Kingsbury close on_ him, while Uncle Bob and Sautiago were toward the rear. Now Goodbye, who had_ been setting the pace, gave way to Sunny- book, the latter pulling up with a suddon spurt from almost lust, while Good- bye fell back to become tho tail end to the finish. Along the back stretoh they cate, still closely bunched, when rounding tho turn Kingsbucy led for an instant. As_they entered the stretch Uncle Bob was noticed erging grandly from the cluster, followed the California racer, Santiugo, Barnes on Santiago made a plucky effort, but do what he would the mud scomed to’ cling desper- ately to Santiugo's ueady tired heels. Amid uproarious howls of delight Uncle Bob passed’ under tho wire two full longths in the lead, while Santiago was only threc-quarters of o length ahead of Kinsbury. Jed was_ fourth, while the others straggled in, pulling up badly beaten. Time—2:5537. One mile, three-year-olds and upwards— Palisade won, Bobby Beach ‘sccoud, R.ves- pierre third, 'Time—1:551.

Nothing But Biffer Talked of at the Na- tional Oapital the Past Woek. THE PENSION'" FOR TOTAL DEAFNESS. Strong Pn,r_»'nlhmy That the Bill Will Become & Law—Democrats Will Oaucts on the Federal Eléction Measure. — Wastisaros Bureav Trr Osana Bre, 513 POURTEENTH STREET, Wasniveroy, D. C., June 1. There has been tittle else than silver talk in Washington for a week. The subject has diffused every other topic and permeated every department, bonrding house and family cirele. The position of the administration has grown rapidly during the past twenty- onr hours, and while two days ago a free coinage bill would have gone through the house with a whirl, it is considered now that 4 4,500,000 ounce measure will get a very de- cided majority unless possibly pressure from the districts should change the opinfon at present. LS Mr. Perkins of Kansas very plainly warned the house this afternoon that to pass an un- limited bill was to strike a death blow to the prospects of relief in the way of an increase of currency through the medium of silver, as the president would veto such abill. The president did not regard unlimited coinage safe for the country at this time, he said, and though there were those who believed it bet- ter to have free coinage, they should be will- ing to have the next best thing. The scenes on the floor of the house have been exciting all day, but they were harmonious. In abusi- ness way the proceedings today were the most important of the session. DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL CAUCUS. It has been determined that a democratic caucus will be held on next Monday night on the question of a federal election law. Thero has n considerable indifference among the democrats to this cause, since many of them assert thero is no need of it. They are con- vinced that a federal election bill, as it came from the republican caucus, will be best for them, and theéy say there is, therefore, no need of any course of action on the pirt of the democrats. Nevertheless, a caucus will be held. The republicans in the senate who were some days ago talking in a wild way about the possible political effect of a fedoral election law, and hiuted that it might bo re- garded as sectional, have given the house caucus bill some study, and acknowledge they were wrong and say they will gladly vote for it. ANTI-FREE COINAGE MEN ON TOP. _And now the anti-free and unlimited silvor coinage advocates in the house arc on top. esterday they were strugeling along in t appeared " to be a minori b preserve the rulipes of Speaked today they wen. -The reference of the fre coinage bill adapted by the senate was tinally adopted by a vote.or L4t ayes to 117 uays, and 50 the bill'is ngw before the house committee on coinage, weights and measures. It is un- derstood that,j to the house uext weelk, 1 come from the cogupittee will provide for a compuisory oyinage of either 4,500,000 ounces or 34,500,000 worth of silver a month, the difference being about 500,000 a mouth in favor of or incpease over the former and that it will contain they senate's full legal teuder clause, o Tt developed in'the debate today that the democrats have up to thi rning voted sol- idly against the speak simply be- cause they thoyght they were reflecting upon tho spoaker and not becauso they wero for freo coinago. [Ihis was frankl ted by Messrs. Buckalow of Pennsylvania, Fiteh of New York and other democrats, and the final vote showed thirlyen demogratic names in favor of referring the bill to the committee where it was known ree coinage featura would be sfricken ouf. publicans who. voted against the measure to the committee been voting that, way for thiv \ change their position today. Carter of Mo tana, Townsend of Cotorado, Morrow of Cali- fornia and the other republicans who W against the speaker stated that th working for free coinugo. Knowi The ten or twelve re- reforring thut reference to the committee was in the inters est of limited coinuge and that, though they regretted anything which would refiect, upon g the speaker's rulings, they were compelled in order to presorve their home intercsts to stand firm. Cannon of Hlinois, McKinley of Ohio and Perkins of Kunsas were the leading vepresentatives of the spealer on the floor in favor of limited coiuigo. INCREASING. THE TOTAL DEAFS PENSION. Chajrman Morrell of the house commiteeo on fuvalid pensions told your correspondent today that thero was very littlo doubt that the bill which has passed the scuate and which is now ongho house calendar with a favorable report increasing the pension for total deafness from $30 to $40 per month and giving u proportionate incrouse for sovero deafness will be finally adopted bofore tho end of the session. He stawed that the meas- ure was one of the most meritorious that, h been presented in this congress, and 4na much as it carries only about $225,000 ad- ditional expenditure edch year there could be very little objoction urged against it on ac- countofits expense. Captain Wallace Fostor of Indianupolis, sccretary of the silent_ avmy of deaf soldiers, sailors and marines, visited Washington during the winter and presented the merits of the bill very intelligently, and nearly evory member of the house his re- celved a letter yrging him to support the weasure, Tt s only a question of consid tion, and it is probuble that the bill will be iven attention bofore the closeof the present fon., Clatrman Morrcll thinks also that prisoners of war bill will become a law Dbefore the end of this congress, although he does not believe, it likely that it will bo adoptod at this session. BLAINE OPPOSE3S M'KINLEY'S TARIPF BILL, A sensational story was toduy published in a New Yorl nowspaper to the effect that be- fore tho senate committee yesterday & tary Blaine denounced the McKinley bill as an exhibition of nons would wreck the republican % Blaine authorizes the statement tonig! he did not oriticiso the measure as a whole, but did say itavas very foolish and bad policy to increase the dutics on everything except sugar and then place that article on the free list, when sugar could have been traded off in ‘commercial treaties 5o us to make new markets for American products in taviff-buys ing countries, He takes the same position in refercnce to. alii-nrticles placed ou the free list, 6l POSTNASIERS APPOINTED.

About thirty members were prosent. The gsocretary reported six new names, maldng the memborship about sixty." President Littieflold addressed the meeting on the reported action of the board of health, in which some of the members wore roported 1o have said that th ilk men were trying to squeeze the small dealers out. He denfed this, and said it was not the business of city officlals to favor one man over another. Mr. Badorf, a prominent dealer, spoke at length on the question of foed for cows, Ho took issue with the board of health on the malt question, He said fresh mait was the best kind of feod and gave much better ve- with less danger of over-foeding, than RS, by, using eal and similar foed, Mv.
