A long cablegram was dispatched today to Rear Adnnral Remey Taku andiit is believed that this instruction was laid upon him. HAY ANNOUNCES HIS POLICY. The state department claims to be pursuing an entirely consistent course in this decision. The officials point out that all of the bitter criticism in the Euro- directed against the United States policy is based upon a total misun- e fundamental principles which have governed the actions of the military Tsin of the pean papers dersanding of th department At no time, it is said. has the state department allowed the belief that the for- cign ministers at Pekin were alive to interiere in the slightest degree with the prosecution of its military plans for reaching Pekin. On the contrary, the news that the ministers were alive was accepted by the state department, not as conveying absolute verity, but as an additional reason hastening the relief colfimn forward to Pekin It was the department's contention that, even though a degree of improbabil- itv surrounded the Chinese news as to the state of affairs in Pekin, yet every con- sideration of humanity and policy demanded that it should be. given careful consideration and that should be acted upon as if true, provided that action went toward the relief of the foreign ministers, and did-not operate to’ prevent the consummation of the obiects jJaid down in SeeretaryyHay’s identic not, for any ot EUROPE HAS MISUNDERSTOOD. absolutely satish ed that its attitude was perfectly correct, and that even European critics in time, admut that fact. Secretary Hay's decision to decline the last Chinese proposition upon his determintation to adhere strictly to the conditions laid down in the reply The department ts will, was based to the Chinese Emperor's appeal. [he state department required that the ministers at Pekin be put in commu- nication with their governments and the most significant condition of all, that the relief expeditions for these two things are —_ with Until authorities co-operate of the the ( lnnese the hberation legatjons | . = s ; Sed ead fond fot ee nt he Sis > : Races YS we eo ie ar es he flied inlnl inline infant fe teinieleleleinie isin lnleinlelniniefetelelalalalainfele info foatat The Russian who has succeeded Admiral Seymour in command of Allied Foreign Land Forces in China, —_— \done. the state department absolutely refuses to be led into any arrangement look- ing to the mitigation of the punishment of the Chinese government, such as the abandonment of the expedition to Pekin FORCING L!

SHANGHAI, July 3.—The Post-Dis- patch correspor- dent saw Earl Li Hung Chang and asked him about the war situation now. Li said al] the min- isters and the Euro- pean people were alive in Pekin. There is no need, he said, for the allied troops to advance in an expedition to re- lieve the foreigners, If they do advance and fail to keep the troops at Tien Tsin the Chinese people of the ‘central and southern country will fight against the allies tnvading in order to prevent the partition of the emptlre. Jeu Hon Yee calls the attention of English readers to the fact that to read the Chinese translation of the dispatch it is neces- sary to begin at the upper right-hand corner and read down. ta6>résexdebunsna § SAE « B43 Dh cle lh (SG ORES WS FE ye ole aie FS AL +—?—__>—_ + 4 -¢ + -# -@—#—-#- 66-0 © --#—@_6.. 6 —6—0—_6-4 6 -¢— —2—_o—_9—_- o_o +0 -—-@o-*- Great Britain, recognizing the superiorit» of the Missouri mule over all other brayin beasts, has sent two of her army officers, Capt. Smith and Capt. Marsham of “‘Lon- don, to St. Louis with instructions to pur- chase a number of mules for pack service in China. Capt. Smith was here several times last summer and fall buying Missouri mules for the British army in South Africa. The Missouri animal added to his laurels by de- serting to the Boers in great numbers dur- ing one of the Ladysmith engagements. They were drawing British cannon and went over to the patriots in a wild stam- pede, artillery and all. Other mules from this state, however, abided by the terms of their enlistment and-di@ such good service that Capt. Smith says his orders are to ship at once a new consignment of the breed to China, where the animals are likely to do valuable serv- ice in dragging cannon, ammunition wag- ons and British bathtubs over the muddy roads of the rice-field kingdom. The British officers are at the stockyards in Kast St. Louis selecting animals for draft and pack service. The smaller mules will carry packs. Since the beginning of hostilities in China the St. Louis recruiting station, Third and Olive streets, has been a busy place. Capt. Thomas Davis, the recruiting officer, and his assistants have been engaged in exam- ining and eg brawny young men who want to go to China to fight the Boxers. “There is always an increase in the num- ber of applicants for enlistment when there is likely to be trouble,"’ Capt. Davis said to the Post-Dispatch. “Young men want to join the army if there Is any fighting to be done. Interest in the army was falling off until the first of this month, but since the storming of the Taku forts we have been busy with applicants. “Nearly all the recruits ask to be sent to China. Of course we cannot promise them any particular assignment for service, but the probability is that all enlisted here will go to China. “During the past three weeks we have sworn in and sent away about 80 men. We have had nearly three times that many ap- plicants, but only about 40 per cent pass the »yhysical examination. This morning we sent a squad of 20 now men to Fort Snelling, Minn., near St. Paul. They will join the Eighth’ United States Infantry there, which has orders to pro- ceed to Manila as soon as it is recruited SPECIAL DISPATCH FOR CHINESE.

As all giments now are instructed to stop at sagasaki, Japan, on the way to the Phil- ippines there is little doubt that the Highth will receive orders to go to China. “The men appear eager to see active serv- ice against the Chinese. Recruits come from various points in Illinois and Mis- sourl. Most of them are from Missouri Many St. Louis young men make applica- tion and we have enlisted a number of them.’”’ Every day a dozen or more men are in the examining room, stripped to the skin, waiting to undergo inspection by the army surgeon. They are tested as to sight, hearing and color blindness. Unless a man can distinguish color at 20 feet distance he is not eligible. Many are rejected on account of color blindness. Mach man is fitted with a uniform after being sworn in, and a drill sergeant takes some of the kinks out of the gait of the recruit before he is sent to join his regi- ment. A squadron of the Third United States Cavalry, formerly stationed at Jefferson Barracks. passed through St. Louis Thurs- day bound for San Francisco, where the troops will board a steamer for China. Troops B, G, HI and I comprise the squad- ron. They came in five trains over the Iron Mountain route from Memphis and went to Kansas City over the Missouri Pacific. The squadron has been stationed at Fort My- er. near Washington. There were 12 officers, 435 men and 420 horses on the five trains, with a large quantity of feed and field and camp equip- ments. The men rode in tourist cars and the officers in a sleeper. Fourteen Chinese, . traveling in bond, at- tracted much attention at Union Station Thursday night. There were seven men, two women and five ehildren. The children were from 1to 3 years of age and were ob- jects of curious interest. The Chinese mothers lulled their little ones to sleep on the seats of the car before the train started. The Celestials are from Panama, where war is raging. They are going home to They will Like all Celestials, they were very se- cretive. and the women seemed to be afraid that the anti-Chinese Christians in this country pees with their children’s bodies, a la might mob them and decorate reathen Chinee, COOL TRAIN ROBBER ENTERED EXPRESS CAR ON MIS- SOURI PACIFIC AT ATCHISON.

MARY SCHUMACHER. MRS. M’KILLOPS, A SISTER, ONLY LEGAL HEIR. Friends Say Mr. Allen’s Failure to Leave a Will Is Inexplicable, as He Was Devoted to Mrs. Schumacher. It has been announced by the business associates of the late Cotton H. Allen, for several vears mayor of C Olumbus, O., that a careful search through his papers has failed to disclose a will. This has caused a _ profound surprise among Mr. Al.en's friends both in St. Louis and Columbus. for it means that his step- daughter, Mrs. Mary Schumacher, will be cut,off entirely from participation in the estate. They say, to all appearances, she was the idol of his life and stood as high in his affection as if she had been his own child. Mr. Allen died at the Southern Hotel in this city in January. He had been living at the Southern for several months, suf- fering all the time with an acute attack of dropsy. He came to St. Louis from Hot Springs to have an operation performed. His condition was acute upon his arrival here and Mrs. Schumacher, who lived with him in Columbus, was sent for. She came on the first train after she goo eived the telegram, and remained in St. Louis in death. attendance on Mr, Allen until his at employes of the Southern Hotel, as well as the intimate friends of the family, re- member that Mrs. Schurmacher showed in every possible manner her interest in Mr. Allen during his long illness and that she constant!y sacrificed her own convenience and pleasure to be with him. It is said that, during her stay in $t. Louis, she neg- lected social duties and denied herself the pleasure of going to places of amnsement. She told her friends that her place wi at the bedside of Mr. Allen and that under no circumstances could she leave it. But it will do no good in the courts to show that this affection existed between the two. If Mr. Allen did not leave a will, Mrs. Schumacher, it is said, must go with- out any shafe of his large estate. If the estate goes by the laws of dis- tribution, Mrs. Annie’ McKellops of Co- lumbus, sister of Mr. Allen, will take it all. Cotton H. McKellops, son of Mrs. Mc- Kellops, lives in this city and is employed at a leather house at 514 North Third street. He is taking a great interest in the disposition of the estate and claims that his uncle never intended to leave anv of his estate to Mrs. Schumacher. But he, like all persons who have any interest in the case, either pecuniarily or friendly, thinks it strange that a man, who was so particular in his business af- fairs and in life, did not neglect to pro- vide for ecvery emergency, should have failed to do such an important thing as make his will. The strangeness of this feature of the case is accentuated by the fact that the family conditions of Mr. Allen were such that a dispute over the division of his estate might easily arise. There are many persons who think that a will was tmmade, but that {ft has become tem- peeeres displaced. It is argued that it is mpossible that he should have failed to make some provision for Mrs. Schumacher _ if he had not intended to give her all Oo es The estate is estimated to be worth be- tween $200,000 and $300,000. This is consid- erably less than his friends thought it would be. He was supposed to be a mil- lionaire. He spent money rapidly and used a considerable portion of his income every year. Mrs. Schumacher, atcording to the storv told by Cotton H. McKellops, was the daughter of Mr. Allen's last wife. She was a child when she was taken into his fam- ilv. “Despite what is sald about the affection existing between Mrs. Schumacher and my uncle, am sure there was really very lit- tle,’ said McKellops to the Post-Dispatch. ‘“‘At least T have the word of Uncle Cotton himself for it. Tt is true that she was with him in his last sickness, but I don't know that that signifies anything. “I did not talk with him during his last sickness. He seemed so peculiar that | did not care to hold any converse with him. ‘‘Mother is the person to have his estate, and I am glad*that no obstacle stands in the way of her claim. Much of his wealth beneath east my labors for him during the 20 years that lt was in his family.” LOVE LED 10 TH —--- — Rh -—-.- as EOY’S DESIRE TO SEE HIS FATHER CAUSES HIS ARREST.

DISLIKE. PARCEL SHIPMENTS Trunk Line Association Trying to Ar- range Classification to Suit the Express Companies. NEW YORK, July 27.-At Thursday's meeting of the executive committee of the Trunk Line Association the principal sub- ject discussed was the new ruling in the official classification, which, if strictly en- forced. will prohibit the bulking of small separate parcels under one cover and for- warding them as one shipment. Strong pro- testa have been made by shippers against this ruling, and the matter is receiving spe- cial attention from the trunk line officials. Whether they will adhere to and enforce their ruling or will modify it is proving a very difficult problem to solve in view of the many interests which will be affected by their decision. There is a-strong prob- ability that the matter will be carried to the courts by shippers if the trunk lines refuse to abrogate or materially modify their ruling. At Thursday's meeting no final action was taken. the matter being referred to a com- mittee of counsel of the trunk line roads. This in itself indicates the extreme care with ng the railroad officials are pro- ceeding ty the matter. A prominent offi- cial of thé Trunk Line Association said that it would be some time before the question is definitely settied, and that a final de- ciston ould probably not be reached until | LEFT NO WILL G.

THE HEAD AND THE TAIL In Thursday’s Post-Dispatch some figures were published showing the distance, measured by income, between the head of the Standard Oil Trust and the hired servants of that great monopoly. Mr. Rockefeller’s income is at least $25,000,000 a year. His workman, who averages perhaps $2 a day, must provide for a family of, say five persons. On this basis each member must be fed, clothed and housed for 40 cents a day. Thrift will enable him to keep body and soul together, but certainly will not enable him to save anything to buy Standard Oil stock, as trust advocates advise. Again, this workman earns every cent of his daily wage. Does Mr. Rockefeller earn every dollar of his annual income? The truth Is, he earns only a small proportion of it. An- alyze his so-called wealth. What is it? A few millions con- sist in houses, oil refineries, tank cars, etc. On these—ally tangible wealth—he is entitled to the greatest income he can get. But the greater part of his “capital’’ consists in shares of stock which represent the capitalized value of his ‘“‘cinch.’’ The law grants him a@ monopoly, a privilege, a franchise—a cinch. It is a power to take of the earnings of the people— his own laborers and the population at large—a certain pro- portion whenever he sells a gallon of oil. In other words, his wealth is not wealth, but a draft upon the wealth of oth- ers. This is the difference between the head of the great mo- nopoly and the tail of it. 7 — =~ a Let us give Diabolus his due. One fender has fended. Lp La» > KISSES AND CUSTARDS. In the Sunday Post-Dispatch Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates Suggested a vacation school for young lovers, because she thinks they usually display too little common sense, ignoring the practical side of life and indulging wholly in sentiment. A correspondent, whose interesting effusion appeared in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, takes issue with Mrs. Bates, argu- ing that lovers should not be practical. “A plague upon the gas bills and beefsteak.” Let them indulge in kisses without taking thought of the custards. As a@ general proposition, we maintain that American lovers are clear-headed as well as warm-hearted. first week or two have been pagsed in more or less frequent kissing, they begin to prepar or the custards, the beef- steaks, and even the icebox, to%ut them in. This is as it should be. There is really no conflict between kisses and custards. Cupid is just as happy frisking around the pantry or peeping into furniture stores to price. parlor sets as he is sitting between the lovers while they spout poetry or regard the waning moon. >. ~ vw Poor Flory! How is he to’explain the Republican vote in the Legislature for the street railway monopoly? = = in oth - AUTOMANIA, Automania Is a fearful thing. It only attacks the wealthy idler, who is willing to contract it as an escape from the ennul which perpetually pursues him. Within a week it hag brought disaster to John Jacob Astor and William Rocke- feller, besides causing W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., to be fined ina common police court. There is no knowing what magnate or son of a magnate it will injure next. @ The disease may be defined as a desire to get into a swift running, complicated, tricky moving machine, and take the management of it yourself without knowing how. “Jeames’” is left at home to look after the stables, while you take your chances at bucking stone walls or running over children with your automobile. The auto came just in time to save large numbers of the wealthy pleasure seekers from dying for lack of something new to do. But the new disease may maim or kill more per- sons than the one it is intended to displace. oe Declamation about the flag will not excuse the peculations of Rathbone and Neely. : eee MUSICAL LILTING TONES. A very acceptable reform in telephone service has been in- stituted in Chicago. The word “hello” is tabooed as rude and impertinent. No operator will be allowed to use it. The substitute, however, is not made known. Whether ft is “say!” or “here you” or some other equally elegant salutation is not yet decided. But more important is the rule that the girls must “an- ewer calls with a rising inflection and a musical lilting tone.” A girl whose voice is not capable of rising inflections and lilts loses her job. The general manager explains that. the subscribers appre- ciate elocutionary excellence. The soul stirring, winsome tonality prescribed for the operators delight them. Cuas words are not heard since the adoption of the rule and the use of the telephone is a positive pieasure. The notion is a good one, though the girl whose voice lacks cultivation may resent it. If it were extended by common consent to all conversation human intercourse would be pleas- anter. But the demerits of “hello” are not go obvious. It is a good word, abrupt, but not discourteous. Over refinement is weakness, not delicacy. pias oe It is said that Beckham was legislated into the office of Governor of hentucky and that Goebel was shot out of it. ooo FACT, OR FICTION, OR BOTH. Among the facta of history which are pure fiction the last words of great Men are, perhaps, the most impudently hollow. When John Quincy Adams was stricken in the House of Representatives he was reported to have said as he sank to the floor: “This is the last of earth; I am content.” Now comes the Honorable Charlies B. Landis, member of | Soar i. you p A646, A648 | the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. As soon as the} Congresa from Indiana, and testifies that the old man eloquent said nothing of the sort. Mr. Landis says that Dick Thomp- son, Who was in the House at the time, told him that in those days people pvt great store by last words, and no eminent man who had any regard for public opinion would depart this life without saying something striking. In the case of Mr. Adams, however, the end came too suddenly. Before he could “think up’ some splendid last word he lost conscious- ness. A number of Congressmen,friends of the dead statesman,ap- pointed Mr* Thompson to formulate something which Mr. Adams would have said had he been able to speak in his last moments. Mr. Thompeon said: “This is the last of earth.” Another of the group expressed his assent by saying: ‘I am content.” This sounded so well that it was made a part of the last utterance, and s0 We come to believe that Mr. Adams actually said that the earth had gone glimmering into nothing but was content with the awful catastrophe. Mr. Thompson is dead, so that he cannot be questioned. Landis is honorable and so beyond suspicion. As the story can't be denied, of course we should accept it. But doubt will question. Has another fiction been added to the facts of his- tory? ‘= = — a With Councilman Carroll's record he ts a queer choice for He has voted for every franchise job and “hold up” during his term of office and has supported every partisan extrava- gance. Do figs grow on thistles? a. rT THE PLAIN TRUTH, Senator Vest does not exaggerate when he declares that the “secret plans of the Republican leaders are, ‘a strong government, without constitutional limitations.’ This is the fight. The lines are drawn. There can be no quibbling. It is the Constitution of our fathers against imperialism.” It needs no more than a glance at the acts of the McKinley administration to confirm this view. Congress, under the manipulation of the executive, has evaded the plain duty to provide a government for the Phil- ippines—assuming that we are to keep them—or to define their status if they are to be allowed to set up a government of their own. The whole matter is left in the hands of the President to do with as he likes until some time in the in- definite future. The “colonies” are assumed to be outside the Constitution, and are therefore to be governed arbitrarily, as the Czar of Russia is supposed to govern his subjects. A government cannot endure supported by citizens in one part and sub- jects in another. Sooner. or later all must be citizens or all subjects. The situation in China is in the nature of a world crisis. Nothing more important has occurred since the surrender of Lee. It is big with consequences which cannot be foreseen. If ever the counsel and authority of Congress were needed it is now. But Mr. McKinley proposes to deal with it alone, which means that Hanna and the syndicates don’t want the interference of the people's representatives while they per- fect their power. Executive usurpation was never more glar- ing. Senator Vest speaks no more than the plain truth. a ae It is to be hoped that the Administration has no inclina- tion to pay anything for the Chinese insurrection. + & _ a A A FEW QUESTIONS, Why are prisoners charged with gambling allowed to count the chips and divide the winnings after arriving at the police station? Why are the same prisoners released by the Police Justice without being even arraigned, after a conference between the Justice and a partisan central committeeman? Is it within the discretion of a Police Justice to release or try prisoners against whom the prosecuting attorney as evidence? Or is it a Tat gone, of eds ce 2 A general uprising in China is now considered certain. Missionaries are making their way with all speed to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but there is no assurance that they will escape with their lives. Meanwhile the allies are quarreling over the prospective spoils, each looking jealously at the mil- itary preparations of the others. If it were not so tragic it would be a grotesque joke. ee a, A. i i i oe “I’m in favor of making every one come under our flag, and if they haven't sense enough to come, make them come.,”’ said Judge Longenecker to the veterans at Galesburg. This is sufficiently Hannaic. If the American people have no more conscience than Judge Longenecker appears to possess, we shall soon be sufficiently imperial and there wil] even be war stamps on hot air. = = = The last Legislature of Michigan is denounced as “the crowning infamy in the history of the Republican party in Michigan.’ Would a Republican Legislature in do us much good?

Chang Chi Tung, it seems, has to do a great deal of extra talking to restrain his soldiers. Marshal See, in the act of looking for street railway of- ficials, must have observed a good deal. There have been so many other drains on the city treasury that the sewer drains must be neglected. If we get our slice of China, no doubt‘dur tobacco trade will soon have large orders from Kwei-Chau. Bill Nye and Truthful James would be greatly shocked at the uncertain character of the Chinese news we have been getting. With the saloon troubles and the canine troubles in Kirk- wood, it may not be easy to say whether the Kirkwoodmen will be snake-bitten or dog-bitten. “The paramounted plank.of the Kansas City platform is not catching any large-sized fish,’’ says an imperialist writer. This is too bad. And Grandpa Hoar crawfishing. There is a good deal of prosperity, but it must be lacking in some places when we read a joyous announcement of a laundry that does work for men who have but one shirt, doing it up while they wait. hihi hi i id ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

But suddenly a girlish voice in frightened tones aroused him. “O, please be careful.” He looked up in time to realize but not to avert the crash that followed. Glad to find that his neck was not broken, he leaped to his feet and turned to the girl, who was endeavoring to disengage herself fiom be- neath her broken bicycle. “Are you hurt?’ he asked, helping her to rise. ‘“‘No,”’ she answered shortly, ““‘but my bi- cycle is ruined, and I do not think I owe it to vou that I live at all.” Mackinnon looked girlish face. “Tam very let me know at the damage |! into the sweet, angry, sorry,’ he said, what figure shall save you taking the matter into court.

It was this thought that made me so absent-minded just now that I did not hear vour bell.

So far as it depends upon the environment.

Then let him work. It doesnt- much matter what his work ts. But he should try to employ his gifts and not neglect them in choosing an uncongenial - occupation.

HI It Won Lots of Money for Wise Peo- ple Doing Business at. the Fair Grounds. The racing talent in their battle against the “Knights of the Chalk’ Thursday, were more successful than they were the pre- vious day. The only real dump of the day was in the fifth race, when Hi Kollor spreadeagled his field of such good ones as Charlie © Brien, Tickful and Libbie. i Mulkey'’s horse was quoted as good as % to 1, and was well played by the short- money betters, who played him last Sat- urday when he won at 25 to 1. Charlie O'Brien's defeat in this race was a severe blow to the players of form. Tle was the logical favorite and 1 to 2, the price laid by the books, looked like stealing money. He is an unrifly animal and always acts badly at the post. Thursday was no exception, he acting very ungentlemanly. When the barrier was released for the final send-off he trailed his fleld and could never make up the ground lost in the get-away. As the race was run, ©’ Brien’s perform- ance was inconsistent, Hle was unable to even pass either Libbie or Tickful. The go- ing, though good, seemed to stop him, as he was never able to untrack himself. Regatta, Colonel Gay and T.ove's Labor were three good things of the day, and were heavily played. All galloped home and were pasy winners in their respective races. Go-to-Bed's easy victory in the handicap was quite a reversal of form. July 23 he was a distant third to American Eagle and Joe Doughty, and that day he was heavily speculated upon at odds on. Thursday, after getting off very badly and trailing his field for three-quarters of the journey, he came on and cantered home an easy wint- ner in front of such cracks as Pinochle, Lord Neville, Malay and Myskalonge. Several big killings were made at the track on Thursday. Ole Peterson ven enough on Hi Koller’s victory to start sev- eral new laundries. John R. Gentry of Horse Show fame, had a ticket calling for $700 to $20 on the same horse, ind Russel Baber, one of the plungers of this meeting, is reputed to have won $7#00 The track of Friday promises to be light- ning fast. Though the card looks exceed- ingly hard owing to the fact that three mal- den races are programed for the €2d day of the meeting. A maiden race for 2-year-olds will be the curtain-raiser of the day's sport. Tea Gown, on her last performance, when she broke away absolutely last and finished @ good fourth, should win the race. Dan- ella and May Davy will probably be the con- tenders for the place. In the second race of the day a similiar number of non-winners will sport silk for the purse. The knowing iz at the track will speculate very heavilY on Gaie Todd who, according to the wife ones, should win ina gallop. He will be the selection for first place. Duke Alexis and Blumist wiil probably follow him in the order named. The third race has a very open aspect, but on a dry track Haviland !ooks j;ounds the best, and the handicappers look for him to win from Bonnivard and El Derim. His pre- on a fast track stamp him a dangerous horse in any company. Unquestionably the best bet of the day is , in the fourth race. He will probably be as good as even money, and it seems a shame tc take the money from :he bookies on him. Zazel is very lightly weighted at 8 pounds, will probably make the pace, and ss Nag be second. Sprung holds the others safe. The fifth race will probably be :he best betting affair of the day!’ as early every one of the 12 horses that are carded to start has a good chance for first p'ace. 1): eanor Holmes, on her last race, showed good form, and should win. Joe Doughty and Guide Rock will probably have a battle royal for the place. | The day's sport will be ushered cut by another maiden race for 2-year-olds. The Thrush and Darlene look the best of the lot, and the former is expected to get first lace, while Julietta B. will probably fin- sh in third place. SELECTIONS.

PLAY BRIDEGROOMS. — LYN ON FRIDAY. WERE NO GAMES THURSDAY. It Is Hoped the One Day Layoff Wiil Give the Cardinals a Change of Luck. All of the games scheduled in the National League Thursday were postponed because of either rainSor wet grounds. The St, Louls baseball team will open at Brooklyn Friday if the weathér permits, and it is hoped the one day layoff will prove of enough benefit to enable them to take at least one game from the champions. It is Jack Powell's turn to pitch, and the big boilermaker will likely be sent to the rubber, It is hoped the Cardinals will brace up when they meet the Bridegrooms on Friday. Their friends are wondering what in the world is the matter with them, and if they do not brace up pretty soon the people here will begin to think that they are reaily not trying to win. “I have informed my men,” said Ned Hanlon, “that any one of them who plays or pitches for an outside team during the rest of the championship season wiil be fined $25 and suspended for two weeks without pay. I knew nothing about the games in which Nops, Dunn and Kennedy took part until I read of them in the news- papers. I allowed Kennedy to go to Patch- ogue on Saturday as a favor to friends of the Brooklyn club, who wanted a pitcher. ‘“T have be in baseball for 23 years and I have never heard of such nerve before All of these men receive good salaries for playing ball and do not need outside finan- cial assistance. If one of them should pitch on Tuesday and be asked by me to go in the box the next day or two again he would demur on the ground that he needed rest. But here we have McGinnity pitching for Brooklyn on Friday and then running off to pitch another game the next day for an amateur club, which paid him $30. Also Dunn, who, after laying off for 10 weeks because of a lame arm, goes into the box for Brooklyn Friday and then skips down to Freeport on Saturday unbeknown to me. It’s the greatest piece of nerve I ever heard of and will be stopped. They say I have too many pitchers and that there is not enough work for all. If that is the case I may decide to let some of them go where they will be kept busy.” If Chief of Umpires John B. Day wants to do something for the good of- baseball, and incidentally earn a part of his salary, he should look up the family history of Um- |pire Bob Emslie. If ‘Mr. Day does not find a streak of in- sanity somewhere, he will have done some good anyway, for it is either insanity or cowardice that impelled Emsile to cal] the game between the Pirates and the New York team on Monday, and if there is no in- sanity discovered then it is simply rank cowardice. Nobody has ever alleged that Emslie is crooked in his umpiring. But if he isn’t go- ing crazy then Emsite the Brave has devel- opened into Emsiie the Coward. The score should have been 2 to lin favor of Pittsburg at the end of the second inning had Emslie rendered the decisions as other men saw the plays. John B. Day was in the grandstand, and it will hardly be necessary to call his at- tention to Emsliie’s work. Day ought to be able to form his own opinion, but in view of the fact that that individual has only writ- ten about one order to his staff since the season opened it is not probable that he will take cognizance of the facts. There were men in the grandstand who said they would never go to anoinereame of baseball in New York unless competent umpires were assigned to the grounds.— Pittsburg Chronicile-Telegraph. The League players who have 50 runs or more up to date are as follows: Thomas 79, Slagle 68, Wagner 61, Flick 59, Barrett 58, Hamilton 57, Van Haltren 5, Keeler 56, Stalh 56, Jones 54, Beaumont 54, Beckley 54, Lajoie 51, Delehanty #®. The Quakers seem to have al] the best of it in the way of run-gettere. In the case of Thomas and Siagle, who lead the League, the heavy hitting trio, Deléhanty, Lajoie and Flick, cut a great big figure. Five league players have reached the cen- tury mark in base hts: Flick of Philade!}- phia 114, Wagner of Pittsburg 108, Hamilton of Boston 102, Beckley of Cincinnagi 102 and Delehanty of the Phillies 101.. Those in the %)s are Burkett and Slagle 9, Van Haltren 9, Mertes and Keeler $4, Jénes 92, Selbach 91, Collins 88, Stahl 93. “Boston and St. Louis look wholl? out of place p.aying tag with the ta‘!l end,” says Tim Murnane. ‘Nothing but bitter hard luck will keep these teams out of the first division, The sifting process is likely to begin before the end of th's month, and the weaker teams show their lack of stying pow- ers. Half or three-quarters race does not count. The full distance will tell the tale, and who Knows a youngster who can go the distance without a trial?’ Says a Gotham scribe: ‘From a financial standpoint the best part of the season of 190 is over, and I don't think, as far as the National League is concerned, that any clubs outside of Pittsburg and Philade!phia, can show a balance on the right side of their ledgers. It has been most disappoint- ing and disheartening from a magnate's point of view. Every club in the major or- ganization should have from $15 000 to $2»,- 0 to the good by July 1, for after that date, summer theaters, racing, picnics, ex- cursions, etc., dig deep into baseball patron- age. “Then again, thousands leave the hot cities for the cool ocean and lake resorts, and the turnstiles are more ornamental than useful. “TlHowever, there is always to be found plenty of people who are ever ready to pre- fer ball games to any other attraction, pro- Vided the particular club they are ‘pulling’ for is high up In the race. “Here in New York where there are over 100,000 strangers daily looking for entertain- ment it should prove a veritable bonanza. “I remember the time, and it isn’t so long ago, when we had an average daily attend- ance at the Polo Grounds of 6000 people. Even during the first year of Freedman’'s regime, before the people found out his amazing unfitness to be at the head of the New York Club, the stands were always comfortably filed and on Saturdays they were jammed. “Look at the attendance nowadays! It is positively killing, and IT think !t will take Several years under a new and popular management, to say nothing of the large amount of money that will have to be Spent, to build up interest in the national kame locally like what it was under the able guidance of Talcott, Ward and Jin Mutrie. Changes in management in several National League cities are peremptory if interest is to be revived. Let the careful observer note the supineness of the press, the indifference of the players and the pro- nounced apathy of the general public, and it requires no Dantel to interpret the omi- nous significations.” Harry Weldon’s Benefit.
