THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1897 NERRY AND 5 HISSION Personal Objection Not Made to the Genial Captain. Technicalities Presented by the Diet of the Greater | Republic. It Is Thought That Opposition Wllli Be Withdrawn Until the Tangle Is Straightened. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—The fact that Captain Merry of San Francisco represented Nicaragua in a consular capa- city in the.United States is the main rea- son for the objection of the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America to receiving him as Minister from the United States. Nearly every country objects to receiving as a diplomatic representative from another country any person who has represented the first-named country abroad. An exception was made by the United States in the case of Frank Hastings, who returned here as secretary ot the Ha- waiian legation after having been a jcon- sular officer for this country at Honoluin, Another reason for the action of the Diet concerns the peculiar diplomatic relations existing between tne United States and Central America republics. Captain Mer- ry is accredited to Nicaragua and Salva- dor, but not to Honduras, the third coun- try in the confederation. Another Minis- ter represents the United States in Hon- duras, Guatemala and Costa Rica. The Greater Republic does not like this distinction. It sentsa Minister to W )(.} ington a year ago, and he was received. It holds that a Minister should be sent to the Greater Republic. These points are said to unaerlie the objection to Captain Merry, but ha cannot be accredited to the Greater Republic because the appropria- tion for his salary makes it necessary that he shall be certified as-Minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Salvador only. The State Department cfficials think the Diet will withdraw its objections unaer a promise that Congress will straighten out the tangle. At the first meeting of the new Nicar- sgua Commission to-day it was agreed that the commissioners~would not leave for Nicaragus to examine avai'able routes until later in the year, probably in Octo- ber. The commission will spend the interim here in examining the report of the first commi ENGLISH INFLUENCE. It May Bes at the Bottom of the Ob- | Jection Raised to Captain Merry. ! C WASHINGTON, Jaly —F i ence may be bottom of raised by the Greater Rey merica to Captain Me D. Minister to Costa Riea #nl | Salvador. C of the report au intim e Diet of the Greater Repub objectionable Department t against Capfa but measures have partment which its official will re- | sult in overcoming the objections raised | by the Diet and cause Captain Merry’s re- ception. For the present the new Mini ter will remain in Washington and w not proceed to his post until the depart- ment has definitely learnea that he wiil be received. When Captain Merry was seen to-night | by THE CALL correspondent he declined to discuss his case other than to say that the watter was in the hands of the State De- partment. It is understood, however, that both Captain Merry and the depart- ment have reason to believe that the Diet’s unwillingness to receive him is based upon a letter which he wrote confi- dentially to Senator Perkins in February last in regard to the Nicaragnan canal, and which, through inadvertence was published in the Congressional Record by Senator Morgan as & part of his speech on that subject. In that communication Captain Merry said (referring to the com- munication of Minister Rodriguez to Sec- retary Olney objecting to the Nicaragua capal bill then pending in Congress): “I wired you yesterday as follows: ‘Rodriguez’ action probably authorized. Think President Zelaya holds concession valid. Suggest cabling.” The reasons for the opinion expressed are based on the following facis: About four months since Hon. Lewis Baker, Minister to Nicaragua, assured me positively that | President Zelaya had told hirh just before he left to inform the United States Govern- ment that whenever it actively aided the | canal company, the Nicaraguan Govern- ment would grant all additional time | needed; that it wanted the canal, and would do everything possible to aid it. Unless Zelaya has had a very recent radi- cal change of heart, I cannot think he | would have authorized Rodriguez to send | such a letter to Olney as he did, especially when, by application to the company, be | could have obtgined anything fair and reasonable. “That the writer of that letter is not sincere or knows very little about the canal question is proven by bis suggest- ing to Mr. Olney the renewal of the Zavala-Frelinghuysen treaty, which Cleve- land has already condemned as ‘an en- tangling alliance.” As to the British in- fluence, I am confident it is constantly at work in Nicaragua sgainst us. A gen- tleman of European birth, but an Ameri- can citizen, known to me for thirty years, wrote mie from Managua two or three times during 1895 and 1898 that England was making stringent efforts to get a foot- bold in Nicaragua through various agen- cies, one of them the Engli*h bondhold- ers of ‘the Nicaragua debt in London, about £500,000. fhave written particulars to Senator Morgan of the deal they have meade with the Nicaraguan Government by which they have secured an export tax | of 1 cent per pound on all coffee for their benefit, and are authorized to send a re: dent ageri to Nicaragna to collect it; really, I believe, a political agent of the British Government. “I have also ritten Senator Morgan of concessions given to Englishmen for a railroad from San Ubaldo (on Lake Nica- ragus) to the Atlantic, at the same time - passing a law permitting the Zeiaya Gov- ernment to sell the Government railway from Corinto to Granada, on the same lake, for one miilion dollars gold, thus aiding the English syndicate in obtaining an interoceanic transit near the canal, 1 | | Minister to L& ! long 7 using the same lake. A difficulty we now encounter is this Republica Meyor de Centro America, composed of Nicaragua, Saivador and Honduras. It is a deal made to keep each of the partiesin power, and is avoided by Guatemala and Costa Rica, possibly a short-lived nationality, to be ended by another ‘revolution.” One of my Managua correspondents writes that the people are very much dissatisfied with the Government and the authorities have to be constantly on the alert toavoid active hostilities. In Honduras also revolmtions ‘are imminent. But in the | canal matter I suppose we must now deal | with ! Nicaragua has made treaties which she this new Government, although Upon the publication of the foregoing letter Captain Merry wrote an ample apol- ogy to Minister Rodrignez, who repre- <ented the Greater Republic in Washing- ton, declaring he meant no disrespect to him in making the statemente contained in the communication. The Minister courteously acknowledged the receipt of Captain Merry’s apology, and declared it was satisfactory. -Mr, Rodriguez, how- ever, laid the matter before his Govern- ment, and when it was announced that Captain Merry had been selected as Min- ister to the Central American States named, the Diet protested. President Zelaya of Nicaragua, however, sent a cablegram to the President, declaring that Caprain Merry’s appointment would be satisfactory to his Government. There- upon the President sent Captain Merry’s nomination to the Senate. It was sus- gested to-day that another reason for the Diet’s protest might be the fuct that Cap- tain Merry’s service as Nicaraguan Con- sul-General at San Francisco had been unsatisfactory to Nicaragua, and he had been removed by order of Minister Rod- rigaez. Captain Merry said to-night: “There is mnothing in this. Consul- General Wright, who represented Hon- durag, and myself were Americans, and it | was the policy of the Diet of the new con- federation of Central America to appoint only natives as Consuls. This they did in each case.” The State Department is now engaged in trying to unravel the curious tangle re- sulting from the chaotic conditions in Central America. When Rodriguez pre- sented his credentials to the President as e United States from the “Greater Republic,” composed of Nica- ragua, Salvador and Honduras, the latter responded in a speech welcoming Minister Rodriguez to the United States, but at the same time intimated that while he was received as the representative of the three republics named he would not be recog- nized as the representative of the **Greater Republic of Central America.”” This was done to avoid offending Guatemala and Costa Rics, who had refused to recognize their sister stales as the “Greater Re- public.” The diplomatic and consular appropria- tion bill also studiously avoidea any recognition of the “Greater Republic.” One salary of $3000 was appropriated for & “Minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Baltvador,” and the otber for “Guatemala nd Honduras,” It is possible that this is considered to be another affront to the dignity of the “Greater Republic.” A solution of the whole difficulty may be accomplished through the fact that the e republics on Jjune 15 signed a new v which combines all in a federation known as ‘“Ihe Republic of Central ica.”” It is expected 10 be ratified on ember 15, If it is ratified the ed will have two Ministers in Centra! not America as now. On the other hand, if it i3 con i n wili arise which es Ministers will rfirme ! the quest two United ted to make Cap bit anxious as to his future. 2 Merry a little He had a with Senator Morgan of the For- Relati Committee to-night. eign UNION LOSURE. Zieasonable Time to Be Giren for Kedemp- tion of the Property OMAHA, X July —The decree of sale of the Union racific Kailway under the foreclosure proceedings instituted against it by the United States was passed upon by Judge Walter Sanborn in the United States Court here this morning. There was no obj ction to the entrance of the Ames-Dexter decree, and after a few corrections had been made in the printed copy of the decree it was passed upon by the court. The entrance of the Government decree drew forth a vigorous debate between ex- Governor Hoadley, special counsel for the United States, and Winelow S. Pierce, counsel for the reorganization committee, The debate was uvon the rights of the court to reserve to the United Statesall rights of the Government not expressly stated in the decree. It was decided in favor of the Government. The upset price under ihe first mortgage will pe $50,637,450. Judge William D. Cornish of St. Paul will act as special mas- ter in the matter. He will seil the main line, the 1034 miles of road from Council Bluffs to Ogden, and its immediate branches in this city. The date of sale will not be fixed until | twenty days shall have expired, the court giving that much time to the Union Pa- cific Railroad Company to redeem the | property. The date and other matters connected with the sale will be fixed by Judge Cornish. Similar decrees will be entered in Coun- cil Biuffs this afternoon and later in the States of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah ana | Kansas. S PR P RUN INTO BY THE MAINE, 4n Excursion Boat and a Barge Bat- tered by the Battle-Ship. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 29.—The ex- cursion boai Chancellor, with the T. J. Kelly Association of Jersey City on board, was run into and badly damaged by the United States steamship Maine in the East River to-day. The Charcellor was smashed on her port bow and for a long distance back above the water line. She continued up the Hast River. The Maine passed the Battery about 12 o’clock, bound for the anchorage off Tompkinsville. The paiut was scraped off her bow. No one on board the Chancellor was injured. In seeking to avoid the collision the Maine came in contact with a pier. On board the Maine no one could be found who would talk abouat the collision. Draw- | ing back from the pier, the Maine ran into a float belonging to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com- pany, and upon which were ten freight cars, part of them loaded. A hole was stove 1n the float, and it sank with its cargo, after the crew had been taken off by a tug. | i i A4 KNUTTY LEG.AL POINT, Controversy Cver the Sale of Wine Re- cov red From a Wreck. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 29.—The right of a iocal firm of auctioneers to sell in this city fifty casks of wine recovered from the wreck of the ship Francis, at Long Beach, two mouths ago, has raised a kuotty problem. The ship's cargo con- sist d of wine shipped from San Francisco to New York, and the casks recovered on tne beach were sent there to be sold for a New York board of uuderwriters. The auctioneers paid a special Government tax for the privilege of selling the wine, but the question has been raised whether the iax must not be paid to Pennsylvania under existing license laws. It is con- tended by the auctioneers that the wine is in original packages and cannot be sold at retail. ‘The matter has been referred to the District Atiorney, Al of these questionsare | WHAT SENT 0P SUGAR STOCK? Pointed Questions ‘That Are Asked by the People. Were the Tariff Bill Conferees Bunkoed by the Trust? By Taking Advantage of the Wilson Law the Combline Clears $12,000,000. { WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—Why has the sugar trust stock advanced so enormously during the past fortnight, and especially since the action of the tanff conferees on this subject became known? Does the tariff bill give to the sugar trust any undue advantages, and if notis there any other cause for the advance in the stock of the trust? These are inquiries which every citizen is making, and proverly. They are perti- nent to the occasion. It is right that he should make them and it is right they should be answered and answered frankly. That sugar trust stock bas advanced as it became apparent that the tariff hxl‘l was approaching completion is undeniable. { Tuat it did advance with leapsand bounds when the action of the conferees became known is equalily true. e o Now what is the cause? Does the bill give the trust any secret and mysterious advantage of which the public does not know in detail? Are Chairman Dingley, Representative Payne, Senator Allison { and others mistaken when they say that {it does not? The people will not believe that these men, in whose long public ca- reer there has been no suspicion of dis- honesty, are willfully and knowingly misstating the facts or making assertions that are not based upon facts, or at least what they believe to be facts. These men assert that the tariff rates of | the bill give the refiuers no meore protec- | tion than the actual cost of refining, viz., one-eighth of a cent per pound. Nobody who knows the men making thisasser- tion will believe they are stating other than whkat they believe to be the truth. The question then is as towhether they are mistaken—whether, to use the term of the day, they have been “'bankoel” by tne sugar trust or by experts upon whom they have to rely for their information. If not, is there any other cause which would legitimately resuit in the advance in the sugar trust stock, as has been the case? It was generally conceded when the bill passed the House that it was not in any way advantageous to the trust, but thar, on the contrary, it took away from it the advantage wbich it had under the Wilson law. As the bill left the House the rates | on refined sugar were 1214 cents per 100 pounds higher than the rates on raw sugar. Of course the rates on different grades of raw sugar are different, but tak- ing the number of pgunds of any grade | which were required fo maks 100 pounds | {of refined sugar it was founu that the | | rates were on an average 12} cents per | 100 pounds less than those on refined | sugar. This means that the sugar refiners of | | t"e country, whe'herin the trust or out | of it, were nliowed a difference of 1214 cents par 100 pounds, or one-sighth of a | cent a pound difference between raw sugar | when imported and refined sugar when imperted, thus giving them an oppor- tunity to import raw sugar at one-eighth | of a cent a ponnd less than the rates at | which refined sugar can be imported. | Since it is generally conceded that the cost of refining sugaris not less than about one-eighth of a cent a pound, it is ap- parert that the rates really given to the | | sugar refiners are simply the bare differ- | | ence between refined and unrefined sugars, | or the cost of refining. While the rates adopted by the Senate were undoubtedly more advantageous to the sugar refiner, those finally agreed upon by the conferees made precisely the same difference between raw and refined sugars that the House bill made when it was passed by that body. The conference report did increase the rates on refined sugar slightly, but it also increased the rates on raw sugar, thus making the dif- ference in the rate of duty between raw and refined sugar—or the ‘‘differential,”’ as it i1s called—precisely what the House bill made it originally. If, however, the conference report really gave the sugar trust no advantage, why was it that sugar trust stock ad- vanced during the time that the bill was in consideration by the conferees and after it was made public? This is a pertinent and propet question. The answer to this is simple enough. The sugar trust, knowing that the new bill would certainly advance the rate of | | duty on sugar as & protection to American i producers, has been' bringing into the; country as rapidly as possible sugar in | enormous quantities, getting it in of course under the comparatively low rates of the Wilson law. It has scoured the | world for sugar, and had in stock by the time the conference report was presented to the public over 700,000 tons of raw | sugar, or, in round numbers, 1,500,000,000 | pounds—enongh suger with which to load 170,000 cars, or 3500 freight trains of 20 cars each. . It was thus perfectly apparent that the trust would make whatever profit there was between the tanff rates of the Wilson law and the increased tariff rates named by the Dingley law, or an aggregate profit calculated at about $12,000,000. Is it sur- i orising that sugar trust stock went up, in view of the fact tbat this organization would make upon the sugar which it had brought into the country $12,000,000 by the mere advance which it could make on its stock of sugar after the final passage of the bill? The explanation of the general advance | in the stock of the trust, while good as far as it goes, does not account fully for this remarkable advance as soon as the action of the conferees became known. This advanes is, however, as readily and plain- iy acccunted for. Secretary Gage had recommended the placing of an internal revenue tax of 1 cent per pound on all un- refined sugars in the United States when | the new tariff law should go into effect, the object being to compel tne trust to pay to the Government a tax of 1 cent per { pound on all this 1,500,000.000 pounds of sugar which it had cumulated waiting for the advance which it could make by the new tariff. Iad Secretary Gage's recommendation been accepled by Cou- xress it would haye compelled the trust to pay in internal fevenue taxes probably $15,000,000 upon the sugar which it had piled up in its warehouses. That it was possible that it might be inserted by the conferees, even though not adopted by the House or Senate, is shown by the fact that the House and Benate have since accepted the retaliatory amendment which was inserted by the conferees, although not prepared by the House or Senate, That the uncertainty as to whether this proposed i1ax on the sugar in the hands of the trust would or would not be imposed, made many in- vestors hesitate is apparent, and that the certainty that it would nos be imposed assured them ot the prospective ability of the trust to pay large dividends during the coming year is equally apparent. This assurance of course came when the action i { that great damage was done. of the conferees was made public and it was known that Secretary Gage's recom- mendation had not been heeded. This knowledge shows fully and conclu- 1 sively to those following the subject closely: Fuirst, that the sugar trust would make this large profit by reason of thein- creased duty on sugar, and second, thatit would not be compelied to pay out any of that profit in the proposed internal rev- enue tax upon its sugar in stock, and those who had calculated the profits which it would make during the coming year on this great accumulation of sugar say that the profits would be great and the dividends large. The result was the advance in sugar stock, about which there has been so much talk and denunciation, and which advance was not due to any permanent advantage which the new tariff bill gives to the trust, for, on the contrary, the dif- ference between raw and refined sugars under the new bill, as already indicated, is 1214 cents per 100 pounds, while underthe Wiison law it is 2214 cents per 100 pounds. THE RiSING IN CHITRAL. Strong Ha-anluu%nis Sent to Mal- akand Camp to Fesist the Tribesmen. SIMLA, INp14, July 29.—There is abund- ant evidence that the rising in. Chitral is on a large scale. A determined attack has been made upon Makaland Camp each night since Monday, the fighting lasting until daybreak. Parties from the hills harass the pickets during the daytime. One picket of the Punjab Infantry was driven in with a loss of twelve killed and several wounded. The fighting has besn desperate. Mon- day tribesmen penetrated a part of the camp, but were driven back after losing thirty killed. Tuesday they lost ninety killed. Wednesday they were re-enforced and again attacked the camp with great determination. They charged right up to the sappers in the breastworks with un- availing valor, losing heavily. The Sikhs and Punjabs fully maintained their repu- tation, but were too fatigued to pursue the tribesmen. Strong re-enforcements of British and native troops are nearing the camp. An- other attack is expected to-night, but no anxiety is felt. In three days’ fighting one British omticer was killed and six wounded. The Government, recognizing tbat operations must now be on a consia- erable scale, has decided that the troops now at Malakand with the re-enforce- mants shall be formed into two brigades with a complete staff. A prominent Mahomiedan named Ra- soul has been arraigned in Lucknow on a charge of sedition. In aadressing a meet- ing of co-religionists, he congratulated the Sultan of Turkey on his victories over the Greeks, and insulted Queen Vic- toria and the British Government. He declared that but for the Sultan’s for- bearance the ‘old woman’s ribs would have been broken years ago.’” LONDON, Exe., July 29.—A Bombav dispatch says the British camp at Malak- and bas again been attacked by tribes- 1en. The British loss was thirteen killed and thirty wounded. The dispatch also says the garrison is short of ammunition. s g ADVANCING GN HAVANA, Banderas and His Army Hoving West- ward—Cormpetitor Case Still in Abeyance. HAVANA, Cusas, July 29.—General Quentin Banderas, whom Weyler reported killed in an encounter at Papaya Heights, Santa Clara province, is advancing west- ward with an army. According to a Cuban official report circulated here, he is now near the boundary of Havana province and intends to advance on the earital. A cable dispateh from the Government has been received by Wey!er ordering him to delay the fina! decision of the tribunal in the Competitor case until the Cortes adjourns. Nevertheless he is to report the prcceedings as ended, when the Cortes adjourns the case against the prisoners will be opened ngafn and sentence passed. This strange order gives rlse to the belief that it is the real intention of the Govern- ment to avoid criticism of the opposition in 1he Cortes to the passing of the death sentence upon the Competitor prisoners. Near Corral Falso, Matanzas province, the insurgents have captured from Span- ish columns a large quantity of rifles and three cannons. At Mina Sonita, Marianao, within sight of Havana city, fifteen Spanish soldiers were Rilled in a skirmish. Atrocities commitied upon the pacificos continue daily. On the Limones planta- tion, Mantanzas vproviace, a Spanish guerrilla force commanded by Laurentino Garcia massacred several pacificos and gouged out the eyes of one wowman with a bayonet. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 29.—The Herald’s Havana special says: A large Cuban torce raided the suburbs last night. Several wounded Spanish soldiers were brought into Havana and removed to the hospitals after the engagement. It is reported that several were killed. The reticence of the officials prevents any knowledge of the result of the attack be- coming general. It is a fact, however, he Cubans used dynamite guns. They retired in a few hours, after badly scaring the Spanish. lfsiate Lol iy CAUSTIC CRITIC!SM OF FOSTER. Professor Elhbtt_-i_a}s the Eering Sea Commissioner Is Inexperienced and Ignorant. LONDON, Exg., July 29.—The Chroni- cle’s Washington correspondent cabies that Professor Elliott of the Smithsonian Institution has written a caustic letter to Assistant Secretary of State Day criticiz- ing Hon. John W. Foster for writing that notorious dispatch 1o Embassador Hay anent the sealing question. Frolessor Llliott says the dispatch lays the State Department open to a crushing reply from the Canadians, and he warns Hay that he will find himself in the same mortifying position as Blaine in 1860, when Canada promptly rebuked his letter. Elliot says: “Inexperienced, ignorant men should not write of matters regard- ing which they know no more than par- rots. Foster is utterly ignorant of the truth regarding the salient features of the seal question. That letter of May 10 was like all preparations from his hands on this subject—full of gross errors. His duilness in making up the American case in 1892 cost the United fitates the shame- ful and humiliating defeat we met at Paris in 1893, ‘“Ihis whole sealing business, from the day the trouble bgan in 1890 to date, has not been in the hands of competent men on our side for a single moment. It has been and is ncw the sport of the Cana- diang, and the languid contempt of the British Ministry isall it receives when it comes up there.” e Violent Earthquake in Jamalca. KINGSTON, Jawarca, July 20.—A heavy earthquake was felt here yesterday. The shock lasted for fully a minute. No seri- ous damage was done here, but news from other parts of the island is awaited with anxiety, as it is feared the shock may have had disastrous resuits. —_— William to dest Bismarck. BERLIN, Germany, July 29.—An un- confirmed report is current that the Km- peror will shortly meet Bismarck at the residence of General Count von Waldersee t Altona, where the Prince has been in: vited at the request of the Emperor. FALLS DEAD T OARLEY TRACK Dr. E. F. McLean Yields to an Attack of Heart Disease. Expires Just After His Filly, Taluca, Had Won the Ohio Stakes. Death Due to Excltement Over the Clalming of the Highly Prized Animal. OAKLEY, Onro, July 29.—The well- known horseman, Dr. E. F. McLean, died at the track here to-day of heart disease, superinduced by excitement over a dis- pute regarding one of his horses. His filly Taluca won the Ohio stakes, the fourth race, in a close and exciting finish from Remember Me. John Huffman, the owner of Remem- ber Me, ran Taluca up after the race, compelling Dr. McLean to pay $1250 above the sum at which tbe filly was en- tered in the race, it costing $1750 to retain her. Thnis was $50 in excess of the purse. Tom Bilackburn, McLean’s traiuer, then claimed Remember Me at that filly’s en- tering price, paying the value of the stake in addition. Huffman objected to giving up his horse on a teshnicality. During the excitement Dr. McLean sat in the litile timers’ stand, tacing the crowd in the grand stand. Apparently calm and collected, he slowly fanned himself. Suddenly he seemed to sink down into his chair. A call was made for physicians and several responded. By this time the horses with their brightly clothed jockeys were on the track ready for the next race. A delay was announced. A cluster of track officials and others filled the tiny stand. Dr. McL2an was assisted to a ly- ing position on the floor, where he quietly expired. The officials then announced the Jast race off as a token of respect. The man- agement announced that the meeting would close to-day instead of Saturday. Dr. McLean was the owner of Lake, Sea- port and other good horses. Seaport won the first race to-day. i OHIO SELLIMNG STAKES RUN. p Won by Speedy Taluca, With Remember Me in tae Place. OAKLEY, Oxro, July 29.—Of the four events decided one fayorite finished in front.

FREEMAN THE CHAHPION. The Stanford Man Defeats Yale's Ex- Champion at Tennis in Santa Honica SANTA MONICA, €ar., July 20.—This has been the most important day of the tennis tournament. Public interest ran high and large numbers of spectators were attracted. In the forenoon play com- menced in Jadies’ gles between Miss Guffen and Miss Knight. The game was a8 pretly one, with Miss Giffen, the win- ner, in a score of 6—4, 6—0. Miss Knight generously said that she bad never plaved better, but that her competitor was the superior player. In open doubles there were two excel- lent matches. In the first Osvorn and Young defeated Acker and Wallace by a score 0f 6—1, 6—1, and then, with victory still percuing on their banner, won honors over Barry and Wilson in a score of 6—4, Young made many good plays and re- ceived unstinted cheering, He played with the vigor and skill displaved when he won the championship in 1887. This afternoon iound the tennis courts crowded, for the battie for the championship was to be fought. The grand stand was not amp.e enough for the crowd, which overflowed into al! available corners. Mrs. Corsop, assisted by the other ladies of the casino, served tea to iriends and to vanquished and victor alike. The battle for the championship contained elements of interest beyond the usual game of tennis, for Cravens is ex- champion of Yale, while Freeman is a Stanford man. _In the first set hoth players were cau- tious and Cravens showed the effect of too much previous playing, being shghtly crippled. The set stooa 6—1in favor of Freeman. The second set was livelier and won a round of applause, especially for the Stan- ford man, who won in a score 6—4. Cravens ¥ ed well in the third set and defeated Freewan; score 6—3. The fourith set, which endea the batile, was fuli of interest. Freeman, the Stanford man, won by a score of 6—1, 6—4, 3—6, 7—5. To-morrow_the finals in open doubles will be played and also the chambionship rounds in ladies’ singles and open doubles. 0N THE DIAHOKD.

Smith of | Missourl, at Hull, Eugland; Grifith W. | NEW TO-DAY. Almost every iaag | in America hag | some digestive trouble. When men meet, ‘the eting usually is ;“T'fvm how are you?” That de- velops health talk. The man who has no stom- ach or bowel trouble is almost a { _ curiosity. Trouble is men take no care of them- selves. They work as if their bodies were made of iron and their brains of steel. They eat as if they had copper stomachs and bowels of brass. By and by, overworked nature re- bels. Then come headaches, nervousness, bad blood, liver and kidney troubles; health Eoes and strength goes. It is really won- erful how much abuse the human body will stand! It is equally wonderful how quickly it will recover from abuse if one belps in a rational, gatural way. 1t was to give just such help that Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets were prepared. They are for constipation and torpid liver, and in curing those derangements—cure many complications and resuitant disease such as s and bilious headache, di. ness, sour stomach, loss of appetite, ind: ‘es(ion, or dyspepsia, windy belchings, “heartburn,” pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. They are mild in action — merely supplementing nature. They are the result of years of study and experience, and there is nothing else like them—nothing so effective. If your drug- gist tries to sell you something else he is either ignorant or makes more money out of the other thing. .
