The score was of the see-saw order, first one
team had the advantage, then the other.
Anson said Hutchinson would allow the local
men but one hit. However, he was mistaken
and bis favorite was bit bard from the start.
His support was excellent and quick field work
saved many runs. Gumbert would make a
first-class pitcher if be had better ju dement

ISFICIAL TELEQRAM TO TH DISPATCH. I
Cleveland, August 12. The Cleveland
had another zigzag game with the Pittsburgers.
Bakely started in to pitch and lasted just two
innings. In the meantime he bad given the
Pittsburgs enough bases on balls and the
Clevelands had made enough errors so that
just three base hits were the equivalent for
eight runs. Gruber was then put in the box
for Cleveland and managed to keep the Iron
City men down, although he was hit harder
than Bakely.
The game opened very favorably to Cleve
land, four runs being scored on good batting.
Browning, Delehauty and Sutcliffe hit in suc
cession, and the bases were full 'When Tebeau
came to bat. He forced Browning out at the
plate, and the bases were still filled. Dele
hanty should have been out on McAleer's hit,
but Carroll muffed the ball. Carney's long
sacrifice sent Sutcliffe home, and Tebeau
scored on Strieker's single. A base on balls to
Carroll, Visner's slashing hit, Delehanty's
error and Fields' sacrifice gave Pittsburg their
two in the first. The six runs in tbe second
were scored on a combination of bases on balls
and fielding errors. Only two safe hits were
made In the inning. Corcoran's fielding was
the feature of the game, and Hanlon made a
leaping catch while running backward which
certainly cut off home run. ilcAIeer also
made some astonishing plays. Attendance,

BUCK EWIHO OBJECTS.
He Doesn't Like to Be Called a Traitor and
Won't Hove It.
NkwToek, August 12. There is trouble in
the ranks of tbe New York Brotherhood club.
Buck Ewing is Indignant over the charges ot
infidelity to tbe Brotherhood cause made
against him by a number of the players and
outside meddlers.
He did not put on his uniform yesterday, al
though he was booked to catch his brother
John's delivery. He was not in a very pleas
ant frame oi mind when I met him.
"Are you going to catch to-day, BuckT" I
asked. "So, sirP answered Ewing with much
emphasis.
"WhynotT" was the next Interrogation.
"Well, I am not going to play nntil I have an
interview with Mr. Talcott Certain persons
have charged me with having dishonest inten
tions, ana I will have an explanation. Tbe
players here have taken umbrage at my recent
interviews with John B. Say, and have also
scored me badly for holding a casual conversa
tion with Mickey Welch, an old fnend of.mine.
I think it's pretty rich if I can't talk to my
friends without being called a traitor. Why,
they even go so far as to say they will release
mo. their manager. It's pretty rough, 1 think.
1 haven't done anything wbicb should call forth
such insinuations. I am with the Brotherhood
as long as I am treated right."
The following statement signed by the mem
bers of tbe team was given out:
"A rumor accredited to an unnamed player
concerning the fealty of William Uwlng to tbe
Brotherhood ot Ball Players having been circu
lated in a Sunday newspaper, we, tbe under
signed members of the New York Flayers'
League Club desire to say that any such state
ment is false and malicious and does an injus
tice pot only to Mr. Ewlng but to tbe organiza
tion'wbicb he represents. The item published
in tbe same paper that any player of this club
desires tbe release of Mr. Ewing is also untrue.
We are not only satisSed that he is true to our
cause but appreciate the bard, honest and re
markable work be has done on and off the field
for us this season ."

TENNY BEATEN AGAIN.
Salrator Runs Past ibo r,Itllo Swnrback
and Wins With the Greatest Ease for
the Champion Stakes at Monmouth
Park.
Monmouth PAEK. August 12. The weather
was magnificent, tbe track in good sh'ape and
altogether the prospects for a sensational day's
racing could not have been improved. 'There
were about 20,000 people present. The load
stone that attracted all these persons was the
Champion stakes. The best horses In tbe
country were to be brought together on even
terms, andevery lover of racing wanted to see
the result. It was the third race, the Champion
stakes of 250 each with 2,500 added; the
second to receive S500, mile and a half. Sal
rator is champion. He has won that title In a
fair and square contest with Tenny, the only
horse on the American turf that has any right
to dispute the title with him, and he did it in
such a decisive style that there can now be no
question whatever of hlB superiority.
Slowly at first, but gaining in speed at every
jnmp, they approached the starter almost on
even terms. Down went the red flag and tbe
battle of the giants had commenced. Sal
vator's colors showed in front on tho
outside. For five furlongs they ran in this or
der. Then, as they struck tho turn for home,
Garrison let out a link on Tenny and he shot
to the front, getting a lead of half a length.
Murphy at once sent Salvator after him, and
as they rounded into the stretch be was at the
little swayback's nose. From that point to
within three furlongs of home it was a pretty
race. All of a sudden Murphy commenced to
ride Salvator, and the shout wentum Tenny is
beaten r It was true. Tenny had to acknowl
edge defeat. When Murphy fonnd that he had
Tenny beaten he eased, and as Garrison did the
same thing, it was a tame finish. Salvator win
ning by fonr good lengths. This victory settles
decisively tbe question of the relative merits of
Salvator and Tenny. and while the latter is a
great horse, he will have to occupy a second
ary position whenever Salvator is mentioned.
The fractional time of the race is as follows:
Quarter, 0.26: half, C50J; three-quarters, 1:17;

tSPXCIAL TXLXGBAX TO TUX DISPATCH. T
Rochester, August 12. Fashionable breed
ing in trqtters got a black eye in the contest for
the Flower City stake this afternoon by the per
formance of Keno F, chestnut gelding with a
very short pedigree. He met a field of 11 flyers,
most of them young and well bred, but he beat
them at all points and landed one of the biggest
prizes in the Grand Circuit in time remarkably
fast for tbe 2.30 class. Keno F comes from Iowa
and Is 6 years old. He bad a slow record last
season, and this season, at St. Paul, lowered it
to 219Jf. Though not the favorite to-day, there
was a strong tip out on him. but the talent pre
ferred to rest on Leopard Rose's great speed,
despite her uncertain temperament. The spot
ted mare started out well, getting a heat in fast
time, but collapsed after that and only got
third money. The young mare Pixley made a
gallant tffort to sustain the credit of the blue
blooded stock by securing a heatin2.17V and
repeating that time in the fourth; thouga she
was favored by tbe judges in a very close de
cision with Keno F.
Favorites got to the front in the otber two
classes, tbe sport lasting till dark, but the card
was cleared up. George W. Archer, President
of the association, handled the large fields skil
fully and there were no delays. The attendance
was quite up to the average and the meeting
starts off well.

San Antonio, August 12. The State
Democratic Convention met this morning

candidates or as lookers-on. The day was
spent in chobsing temporary and permanent
officers. B. D. Tarleton, of Hall county,
was made Temporary Chairman. J. O.
Huttheson, of Harris county, was made
Permanent Chairman. There was but
little contest before the Commit

gations having any fight to make, both of
them being decidedly in favor of Hogg tor
Governor. The platform is a strong docu
ment, denouncing the exorbitant tariff, the
Federal election bill, the recent course of
the United States Court, and declaring that
the State Democracy favors the creation of a
railway commission.
A plank was inserted demanding separate
coaches for whites and blacks. Tbe utmost
enthusiasm' prevailed. The supporters of
General Hogg are so vastly in the majority
that there is no fight against anything they

OPERATIONS BEING EAP1DLY RESUMED
New Xobk, August 12. Notwithstand
ing the statements of the officials of the
New York Central road that the backbone
of the strike is broken and the apparent
belief or the public in these assertions, the
strikers themselves are still confident that
the crisis has not yet been reached, and that
before the week is over the road wiJl be tied
up tight as a drnm.
This belief was strengthened by the
speeches made at the meeting of the strikers
which was held this afternoon. About 600
of tbe men met at 3 o'clock. Master "Work
man Lee SDOEe, and afterward when asked
about the letter which appeared in a morn
ing paper, and which he was accused of
having written to General Manager Toucey.
he replied: "It's a forgery. I did not write
it I am not a double-dealer or a traitor,
and would not write such a document. The
situation is so serious that the railroad offi
cials are resorting to every means to dis
credit me in the eyes of my fellow-workmen."
IN GOOD PAITH.
""Why did you tell the reporters that tbe
firemen would" go out last night?" he was
asked.
"'Because I believed they would. I made
the statement in good faith. I had reason to
believe that the firemen in the Grand Cen
tral depot wonld go out"
"Mr. Holland is not in entire control of
the strike," he said in response to another
anerv. "We fmeanin? the district assem
blies) have full power to conduct the strike
as we think proper. "We are on very
friendly terms with the engineers, and Z
still believe they will strike."
By this time the meeting had adjourned
and the Press Committee had agreed on
what information they wonld give to tbe re
porters. Reports had been read showing
that only one or two desertions from the
ranks of the strikers had taken place
so far, and not one of these
had been in the Grand Central yard.
A CHABOE OF FOBOEB7.
A man bad attended the meeting, they
paid, who went back to work on being
shown a report signed by 100 switchmen,
'stating that they would return to work and
disobey the mandates of the Knights of
Labor. "My name, he says, was signed to
that report," said a member of the Press
Committee, "and if so it was a forgery. I
never signed it" "
Reports from towns along the line stated
that the strikers are as hopeful as they were
on Friday night "They cannot instruct
the green hands," said the spokesman, "to
run the trains in less than six months.
Even (be Superintendents don't understand
the business. This running of trains on
schedule time is all bosh. I tell you not a
train has been switched yet; they are sent
out as they come out without regard to
order."
The Press Committee said that a vote of
confidence in Mr. Lee had been passed, and
thai it did not require his statement to make
the meeting believe that the letter in the
paper was a forgery.
PJOHT TO THE LAST.
""We have every confidence in our
officers," was the statement which supple
mented this, "and we will stand by them
through thick and thin."
Tbe strikers will meet again to-morrow
and hear responses from the engineers.
They evidently believe that the latter will
support them. Subsequently Mr. Lee said:
"The General Executive Board alone has
the power to order out at one time the men
on the roads thronghout the country, and
any apparent delay in forcing conclnsions
is because we are now waiting indorsement
by that bodv, which meets to-morrow in
Detroit"
Mr. Lee stated that no conference had
been had with Mr. Powderly. At present
Lee is the one that is directing all the
movements of the strikers here.
Notwithstanding the above statements the
Central is rapidly resuming operations all
along the road.
THEY LOOK LIKE LEAVES.
Some Insects That Con Hardly be Dis
tinguished From Parts of Trees.
Saturday Bevlew.
At a recent meeting of the London Zoolog
ical Society for scientifio business, Mr.
Sclater called attention to a specimen of a
leaf insect living in the society's insect
honse, which had been received from the
Seychelles -and presented by Lord "Wal
aingham. The leaf insects, of which but
few species are known, belong to the same
family (Phasimids) as tbe stick insects,
and both are marvelous illustrations of
mimicry in nature. They are all noctural
in their habits, and spend their days resting
on trees and bushes, the leaves of which
form their food, and their resemblance, re
spectively, to the leaves and twigs is so ex
traordinary that it is not surprising that
they escape the observation of their enemies.
The leaf insects are most singular; the
head and part of the thorax form a stalk,
while the abdomen, which is flat. thin, and
much dilated, exactly resembles a leaf. The
legs, which are six in nnmber, have broad,
membranous appendages on the thighs, and
these are especially noticeable on the fore
legs; the result being that the creatnre,
while resting immovable, has the appear
ance of a leaf which has been gnawed on
both sides by a caterpillar. In the insect at
the Zoo this resemblance is most exact, and
the illusion is heightened by the coloring,
which makes it appear slightly withered at
the edges. It is the habit of the insect to
hang back downward, with the abdomen
slightly curled up, and, to quote Mr. Mur
ray, "this habit brings to light another
beautiful contrivance for still further
heightening its resemblance to a leaf. The
upper surface is opaque green, tbe under

by reversing its position it brings the glossy

A Report From General Miles as to the
Possibility of Invading British Colombia
In Case of War Tbe Amerlean Coast
Cities Practically Defenseless.
rsrxciAi. txlxosau to tux DtsPATCH.t
"Washington, AngustlZ Thedispatch
irom Ottawa detailing measures that have
been taken by the Dominion Government to
effectually fortify British Columbia is very
suggestive, when taken in connection with
the statements made confidentially by
General Nelson A. Miles to the Senate Com
mittee on Relations with Canada, which has
been gathering information upon this sub
ject for the past two years. General Miles
stated in his confidential communication
to the committee that he has been stationed
on the Pacific coast for about ten years, and
and during that period the discharge of his
duties led him to consider generally the
condition ofthe military and other defenses
of the United States on the Pacific coast,
and has always led him to acquire some in
formation in regard to the military works in
British Columbia so far as they may be a
menace to this coast.
The information which General Miles
gave to the committee was gathered for
himself and also, as he stated, "for the
higher officers of the Government," and
was regarded as confidential, but, of course,
he considered himself relieved from any re
sponsibility as to secrecy when called by a
committee of Congress to state tbe facts
known by him. He stated his belief that
the railway system of British Columbia
could be occupied by American troops in
ten days in other words that the principal
part of British Columbia could be occupied
by American troops, not, however, through
Victoria, because the British Government
has expended millions in buildings dry
docks, navy yards and fortifications at that
point
"But," said General Miles, significantly,
"I think it is fair to sav that during those
ten days the British fleet could destroy
every town and city on Pnget Sound, de
stroy onr railroad system there and occupy
our ontlets for that Northwestern country.
They conld also send ships ud the Columbia
river and destroy the city of Portland and
that system." This statement was ex
plained by General Miles by the humiliat
ing admission "that there is not a gun or an
earthwork in Pnget Sound. There are a
few obsolete guns at the mouth ofthe Colum
bia, at Ft Canby, but that is not now oc
cupied by troops."
CHEAP HOUSE SERVANTS.
The Beautiful Plan That Has Been Adopted
by the Indian Commissioner.

"WASHINGTON, August 12. Indian Com
missioner Morgan, who, soon after his ap
pointment, provoked a good deal of gossip
by appointing his wife bis confidential
clerk.thus adding $1,000 a year to the salary
of the family, which, by the way, is with
out other members than his wife and him
self, is again a snbject of newspaper adver
tisement It is just discovered that he has
had in his bouse since April 1 two Indian
girls from the school at Carlisle, who do the
entire housework of the family, cooking,
washing, ironing, plain sewing, sweeping,
scrubbing, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan ad
mit all this, but say that the girls knew
little or nothing of this work and that they
are teaching them.
They refused. to say what wages tney gave
the girls, or whether they pay them any
thing. It seems that the superintendentot
tbe Carlisle school, without, authority of
law, nas neen in tue name or farming out
the pupils. Mr. Morgan says the two girls
in his possession have finished their course
at the school, but do not want to return to
their people until a brother and a sister are
also ready to go, which will not be for sev
eral years. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan lived at
a boarding honse until they secured the
Indian girls to do their work.
