ANOTHER CLOSE BASEBALL GATIE IN THE SOUTH Nationals Defeat Angels by a Score of 4 to 3. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.—The Nationals took another game to-day from Los An- geles by the narrow margin of 4 to 3. It all came in the latter half of the nint Up to that point Hale had held the East- erners down_to three scattering hits. It was a_splendid exhibition of ball all the way through. The locals played with a vim and determination that has seldom characterized their work. Hall did the best work, accepting many chances and fielding every bail perfecily. Reilley was at short and Kelly on thir: The latter’s error in the ninth inning was responsible for one run. Hale pitched great ball up to the disastrous ninth, when the heavy sluggers from the East singles and a_double, which, with two errors, gave them the game. Doyle for the visitors was given Carr’s fallure to ac- cept two chances in right field gave the locals two runs. Van Haltren's base-running and Beck- ley’s batting were features greatly ad- mired by the spectators. Tip O’Neill worrying over the non-arrival of star twirler for the Nationals.

The members are tak- ing a good deal of interest in rowing dur- ing the winter and from time to time en- gage in barge races, the losers providing dinner for the winners and themselves. Early next year the Dolphins will give an entertainment and ball in place of the annual picnic, which will be discontin- u There was some talk of giving up the regular annual dinner of the mem- bers, but it is probable it will take place as usual earlwen year.

POWERS NOT WILLING TO ABANDON TIENTSIN New Viceroy Says He Will Maintain Order, but Diplomats Are Doubtful. PEKING, Dec. 6.—The principal object of the visit to Peking of Yuan Shi Kai, the new Viceroy of Chili, who arrived here December 3, is to induce the foreign powers to relinquish their control of- the government of Tientsin. Yuan Shi Kal has assured all the Ministers of the for- cign powers here that he is personaiiy able and willing to maintain order at Tientsin and in the province. The Russian, American and Japanese Ministers are inclined to comply with this suggestion of the Viceroy, but the major- ity of the foreign representatives insist that the powers retain control of Tien- tsin until the reassemblement of the Chi- nese court at Peking. e QUARREL OVER PLACE WHERE CRISPI MAY LIE Italian Chamber of Deputies the Scene of a Bitter Partisan Debate. ROME, Dec. 6.—An uproar arose in the Chamber of Deputies to-day during the discussion of a proposal to inter the re- mains of Signor Crispi, formerly Italian Premier, in the San Domenico Cathedral at Palermo. The Socialists and Radicals violently opposed this proposal, and_de- nounced the foreign policy of the late Pre- mier as having catised intense suffering to the Italian people. The scenes became so violent that the president of the Chamber had to suspend the sitting temporarily. When it was resumed there was still considerable agi- tation. The vote was eventually post- poned until to-morrow. Al MUST PAY PENALTY FOR NEWSPAPER INSULT Tditor and Publisher of a Paper in Prussian Poland Go to Prison.

She passed inside the gate early in the morning. but at 3 p. m. had failed to reach Fort Point. It was blowing hard, but the craft would not steer ‘and every wave threw her two points off her course. When a Call re- porter went aboard the little craft off the asked for was tobacco. Luckily the crew of Peterson’s launch had three packages of fine cut and these were taken aboard. Mate Platt made himself a cigarette and the captain filled his pipe, but it was burned out, as ke had been smoking tea leaves for ten days. “Now if 1 only had a pipe,” said he, “I would be in heaven.” Artist Bronstrup had a pipe and offered it to Heald, who seized it and in two minutes the dingy cabin of the Cordelia Heald was filled with the fragrance of cavendish. Even a couple of bottles of beer and a package of sandwiches that were passed aboard could not tempt the men to de- sist from smoking. While the captain and the mate were below the vessel was left to the tender mercies of a reporter whom $he captain took to be a pilot. The news- aper man kept ber clear of Point Lobos, gut his heart was in his mouth when the steamship John S. Kimball bore down on the schooner and the Heald would not pay off. The danger was averted, how- ever. and then Captain Heald took charge. Regarding his trip Captain Heald said: The Cordelia Heald was bullt by me in San Francisco about two years ago. My wife and I cleared the vessel for St. Michael and we sailed on August 24, 1900. We had a terrible ‘time and were driven back every time we reached the Columbia River. Fincily, on De- cember 21, 1900, I found myself off San Pedro and we put in there. My wife, after whom the boat is named, got tired of the venture at this point and went to Cliff House the first thing Captain Heald | SEVENTEEN T1ONTHS ON THE SEA - AND COMES BACK IN DISTRESS Schooner Cordelia Heald Leaves Here for Alaska, but Erratically Sails Far From Her Course.

It was a pretty pleasant win- ter and after refitting in the spring I sailed again for Alaska. That was on July 27, 1901. The full crew list was myself—Captain John L. Heald—George H. Moseley, first mate, and A. A. Platt, second mate and cook. After we were out forty-three days I decided it was time to put into Port Harford and get some more stores. We secured a liberal supply and once more started north. By this time I had decided to make for the Klamath River, but every time we came within " striking 'distance something happened to_drive us back. Now I'll tell you something in confidence. The Cordelia Heald is the finest sea boat afloat. Never a sea broke over us and she is now as dry as a bome, but she can't sail and she won't steer. Otherwise she is the finest vessel of hers class afloat. ‘Well,” after we had been twice as far north as Mendocino and twice found ourselves off Foint Reyes we came _to the conclusion to make one more try. Then occurred the only disaster. coast and George H. Moseley was at the helm. This was on ‘the night of October S. Platt and-I were asleep. Suddenly there was a racket on deck and Moseley was tumbling down the companion way, while the vessel was roll- ing her masts out. I rushed on deck and Platt took care of the injured man. He only lived a few minutes, as his skull was fractured. I think he wag struck by the main boom and knocked dowh the stairs. We could not give him a fair burial, but Platt sewed him up in a spare sail and brought him aft to the wheel, where I was on duty. I sald a prayer, keeping an eye on the foresail and the heave of the sea at the same time, and then the ly was_thrown overl Moseley was a native of Rutledge, Ga., and was 2 years old. He served in the United States army in the Philippines and had a good record. After that accident we ran for San Francisco and reached the Farallones in six days. Off there a pilot-boat came up to us apd a_pilot came aboard, but I didn’t want him. Lucky for him. He'd have been ten days at sea. We have plenty of provisions, except tobacco and butter, and the former you have supplied us with.

MALVERN, Ark.,, Dec. 6.—Five more deaths have occurred in consequence of the head-end collision between two pas- senger trains on the St. Louis, Iron Moun- t:lng and Southern road near here last nignt. Maggie Stevenson, colored, of La‘ndersvillc, Ala., died to-day from in- juries received in the wreck. Two colored children, names not known, also died to- day from their injuries. Two white men, names unknown, who had been riding on the front end of the baggage car on the fast mail southbound train, were found dead in the wreckage to-day. It is sup- posed they were sawmill hands. None of the white passengers injured in the collision will die. Twenty-eight in- jured colored passengers were taken to the railroad hospital-at Little Rock to- ay. The Coroner's jury has been hold- ing an inquest all day, but has reached no on. The developments to-day in- dicated that the collision was the result of a misunderstanding of orders. DISH OF ROAST BEEF BRINGS HIM TO TERMS Convict Has a_ Merry Time on a Prison Roof Until Hunger Calls. LONDON, Dec. 6.—A convict at the Pontonville prison who managed to elude the warders, established himself on the roof of the prison and for thirty hours defled all attempts to dislodge him. Thousands of spectators were watching the show and aiding the prisoner by timely warnings of the movements of his would-be captors. Ladders placed against the wall were promptly thrpwn down by the occupant of the.roof, whose reckless movements and wild laughter at the futile efforts of the warders were thought to indicate insanity.
