They were vacked full to overflowing by Staats with the finest of hotel jurnishings—hundreds upon bundreds of linen towels, napkins, sheets, doz-ns of solid silver knives, forks and spoous, silver tureens, lvdles, cake dishes and pieces of every conceivable kind of silver tabiewzre. Most of the si'ver was marked with the Waldorf monogram, but s.me of it had the marks of the Hotel Normandie, the Sturtevant and the Unlted States Hotel, Boston. There were also a_dozen imported rugs, all the property of tbe Waldori; an oil paint bath mats, Ive silver cail- bells and =n array of otherarticles. When tue astonishing news was carried to Boldt he nearly fainted. At Staats’ room on Thirtietn street, un- der the bed, were founa two loaded re- voivers, one gold mounted; a rug from the Walcorf that cost $600, a slungshot, a bottle oi '’ and a large brick wrapped a paper. Inadrawer was a set of burglar’s tools, consisting of a steel saw, and bit, a jimmy, pincers, pliers, screw-drivers and all other neces aries. Staats has been a hotel man in many places Eastand West and is widely known. One of the strange things discovered was ve that he amused himself by knitting women’s stockings. He took his arrest coolly. The detectives say he has made a coufession of his long double life, saying he had no idea why he turned thief and burglar.

Said Senator An- urons to THE CALL representative: *“We will nuve a great meeting this year in California. I have been all over the Eastern circuit, and more of tre large stables will come to the Pacific Coast this winter than ever before. The fame of California tracks had preceded me, and besides that the yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans will” keep a good many of the leading turfites from going there as usual this winter. That city’s misfortune has been our gain in this particuiar. ““You can depend upon it there will be a great racing carnival on the coast this year—greater than ever before.

One hundred and thirty-five of these people were Bostouians, who came over to “root” for their fellow-citizens. Bedecked with red badges and armed with tin horns, they made noise enough for ten times their number, and te-night they are in an excessively cheerful frame of mind. Not so with the rest of the ciowd, for they have mo excuse to make for the beaten champions. The game was falrly wou by superfor playing, timely batting, bet- ter base running and sharper and cleaner | fieiding, in which Hamiltor, Long and Tenny played probabiy the most conspicuous parts, 1wo of Long's and one of Tenny's caiches be- ing of the most sensational order. At first it lookea like an easy victory for the champions, when the visitors weniout in one- two-three order in successive iunings, and the Orioles had iwo tallies tucked awuy; but there was & change in_ the fourth, when Doyle, usually faultless in his fielding, fell over an easy bounder right into his hands, giving Staple n life and letting Tenny 1n wiih a run. This piece of bad plaving was followed by a bit of hard luck, when Stenzel lined outa three-bagger, but was iustantly caught trying to come home on Doyle’s easy one to Collins. A period of demoralization which does not show in tne score overiook the Baltimores at this juncture, and two runs put the visitors in the Jend. This lead would have been overcome, as the sequel shows, but “Brother Joe” clinched it for the ‘visttors by presenting them with two runs in the seventh by & throw over Doyle's head in trying to field an easy bunt, a wild pitch and anoiner fall-down on a simple little grounder by Lowe, which petted three runs atter zill-edged chances to retire the side had been offered aud iost. Itseemed auite hopeful for the champions again in the ninth, when Doyle, Reilz and Robinson singled, oneé after the other, sending Doyle in wiih a run, and Reitz foliowed with snother on McGraw's single, Quinn going out in the meantime onalong fly to Hamilton. With four runs in, two men on bases and only one out, it looked good for Bal imore, but Long jumped way up into the air, pulied down’ Keeler’s reduot Lner, threw it to Lowe at second ana douvled up Captain Robinson, who had incautiously lit_out for third base when Keeler hit the ball. This ended th agony and the score tells the rest. Attendance 12,900, Score: BALTIMORE. AB R BIL PO. A E Mctiraw, 8 b g6 g Mokl TG Keeler, . 1. - 0a 1 X 0 0 Kelies. 1.

SHORT SHRIF: FuK BECKEK, The Speedy Califcrnian’s Racing Career Probubly Ended. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 24 —W. E. Becker, the speedy California racer, who choked “Major” Taylor, the negro, on the track at the Taunton Fair Grounds yesterday, will have but short shrift at the hand of the League of American Wheelmen ofti- cials. The probability is that the young man will be probably suspended aud barred from all League of American Wheelmen tracks the country over. President Mott, the racing board member, interested himself in the case at once, and has started a rigid inquiry into the exact facts after the encounter, and will make hi decision without delay. A lthe loyal racing men are intensely disgusted at Becker’s performance. Tay- lor has recovered from the choking he got, but riders are reminding one another that he has not been altogether blameless himself in the past and has a habit of courting trouble on the track by his trick of “‘cutting through'’ the bunch at the finish of a race. - Becker claims that Taylor, at the start of the race yesterday, attempted to crowd him into the fence, to the imminent peril of life and limb. Taylor denies this most emphatically. ———— INTEKNATIONAL CHESS, Blackburne Leads wn the Tournament by Haif a Point.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept 24.—The final fifteen minutes’ play to-day in the international cricket maich between Phil- adelphia and English ieams was interest- ing in the extreme, the four batsmen for the Englishmen being retired without scoring a run, This is the first of two three-day matches to be played between | a picked team of Philadelphians ana Cap- tain Warner’s team of Euglish amateurs. Nearly all the men in the local teams were | members of the Philadelpbia team which 1 made a cricket tour this summer. Play began at noon to-day. The Phila- delphians went first to bat, and in their inning scored twenty-four runs. The | English team then started their inning, and four of their wickets were lost in fif- teen minutes without obtaining a single tally, Capiain Warner then made the | point that 1t was too dark to continue | play, and the umpire ordered stumps to be drawn. The loss of four wickets for no runs is probab y without precedent in a match between high-class teams. e ANNUAL CAVALKY (OMPETITION. Bcores Made by the Kegular Troopers at | Fort Mingate.

Fu | BARRING 00T NEGRO POPILS No Co-Education for Two Races at Alton, Illinois. Colored Children Are Driven Away From the White Schoolhouses. Thelr Parents Secure Counsel and Will Fight the Case In the State Courts. ALTON, Inn, Sept. 24—The city au- thorities have taken = hand in the sepa- rate schocl question, The Chiei of Police was instructed to take his entire night and day force and keep the colored chil- dren and their parents out of the white school. For a time it scemed that this policy would precipitate serious trouble. Police- men were stationed at each of the schools, and when tre colored people came with their children and sought to enter, as they had the day before, the officers stood at the doors and refused them admittance at the Washington School, which is in a por- tion of the city where the colored people outnumber the whites. The negroes con- gregated upon a hill back of the school- house and hela a consultation. They de- cided to attempt to put the children into the school in spite of the officers, and marched over to the schoolyard. For a time it seemed that trouble could only be averted by permitting the negroes to en- ter, but the police held their ground and threatene¢ to arrest any of them who should attempt to enter the school against | orders. The men and women remained at a dis- tance and urged the children to go in. Some of them attempted it, but they were sent back by the poiice, and none were | successiul save a few boys, who climbed in at the windows while the cfficers guarded the doors. They were promptly dislodged, and the colored people then re- ticed again to the hill back of the school- house, where they remained several nours and then returned to their homes. At the Irving and Lincoln schools the same scenes were presented. A com- mittee of three colored men, accompanied | by their attorney, then called upon Presi- dent Fink of the school boara and asked him if it were the intention to persist the policy of exciading the colored ek dren from the schools attended by ¥he whites. Mr. Fink assured them that such was the intention of the board. The colored people then heid another meeting and in- strected three of their number to go to Sorivgfietd and meet General Paimer, who had wired them that he would assist them in an effort to secure in the Federal court a mandamus compelling the city authori- ties to permit the negroes to attend school with tue white children. The negrces insist that the lawis on their side and flatly refuse to send their children tothe schools built for them. The Supreme Court decisions in similar cases at GaleSburg, Quincy and Upper Alton en- courage them 1n the pelief that they will triumph in the courts. FETER A LEGION CAMP.
