Sure enough, tho old sport was on deck
once more yesterday
and was the pitcher in
another winning
" 1 Cranks disposed to
s",Vp' J Et'c at trifles may
Jc3 jjf argue that it wasn't
the work of tho old
man that won tho
game. Let them ar
gue; tho fact remains
that tho rotund citi
zen of Allegheny the
pitcher in the win
ning game. It will go
down in history as a
game won for Galvin
and that's all there's
about it.
But the victory sends tho home team a
step nearer that goal they are aiming at,
and w here such a very reliable prophet as J.
Talnier O'Xcil says they will land. And it
may not be w Me of the mark to say that if
the'local sluggers J ut keep on going as they
arc going now they will soon be on the
Top or the neap.
They arc just beginning to prove that they
are very dangerous people for young men in
thewavof pitchers to fool with, and tho
beet of" twirlcrr are at all times liable to
speedily have their nerves shattered when
facing the Pittsburg terrors
There was one thing quite apparent in
yesterday's contest at Exposition Park be
twrnn our champions and the aggregation
from Philadelphia. The worth of good hit
ting was never plainer to be seen. Theola
man ia touched up quite merrily: in tact
hard enough to win many games. But tho
home sluggers w ere out to do business in
that line themselves and they did it to the
queen' taste. And that is just where the
local team will always bo dangerous. In
using the stick tlicy are able to steadily have
fw ect revenge on "any other team who are
bold enough to take much liberty with our
pitches. At nil stages good hitting covers
n verv large amount of shortcomings, and.
when our raw-boned specimens of humanity
let themselves loose a freight car load of
errors have comparatively little effect on
tho result. In yesterday's game the hitting
was reallv enjoyable to those whose sym
pathies were in favor of a home victory.
Some lively Scenes.
Tho crowd was an excellent one, there
being more than 2,500 pcoplo present, and
tho majority of those were in the grand
stand. This sho-n s what good profits thero
are awaiting the club if tho team only keeps
inline. As usual the crowd was certainly
demonstrative and every day the feat be
comes plainer that tho patrons, particularly
on the "bleachers," are becoming more
boisterous than has ever previously been
the case in Pittsburg. As a result the patrol
wagon landed on tlio scene yesterday and
two men, young men, were hustled off to
the lockup. Their offense was gambling.
One was charged with being stakeholder
and tho other with betting. During
the last few days the extensive system of
belting which lias been carried on among
the patrons of tho right field bleachers has
caused several fights and unpleasant scenes;
certainly scenes that cannot lo tolerated In
a League ball ground. If bets or wagers on
the ground cannot bo made without tho dis
graceful rows that have recently taken
place, then betting under any circumstances
on the ground must be entirely prohibited.
If harsh means have to be used to quell the
disturbances attendant on tho betting those
who are the promoters and encourages of
those disturbances only have themselves to
blame. One tiling is absolutely certain, that
respectable conduct will be demanded of
e cry spectator of the game who goes into
the grounds.
Yesterday's game was a little too one-sided
to be very interesting. At tho start off mat
ters were a little close and continued so for
u few innings. But the homo players as
sumed such a commanding lead that the re
sult was a forgone conclusion even with
Gleason in the box. Gleason pitched pretty
lair ball, bnt the local hard hitters were too
much for him. Uis colleagues, too, did not
play brilliantly in the field by any means.
Good All-Kouiul riay.
The home team did very well all round
and the three errors they inado did not con
tribute toward any rnn-gctting. The visitors
used the stick so effectively that they earned
five of their six runs. Tho unearned tally
was the result of a base on balls. As usual
Bieibaucr played si great game at sdtondaud
Miller and iteilly also did well. The error
credited to Miller was a very pardonable
one. Galvin threw the ball to him to head
offa runner at second. The throw was not
one oi the best, but George got the ball into
his hands and dropped it.
The visitors were first to get a run in.
After two men w ere out in the first inning.
Gray made a nice single to right field, and
that agricultural-like citizen, Sam Thomp
son, appeared, and banged out a three-bagger
to the right field fence.
In tho next inning the homo players took
the lead, and never relinquished it. Bier
bauer made a three-bagger to left field, and
. Jlanlon'wnsput out at first. Mack tho re
liable Mack, who invariably cracks in :i run
follocd,and scored Hicrbauer by a fine
single to left field. A passed ball sent Mack
to second. Kcilly knocked n grounder to
31 vers, and the latter made a very wild throw
to"first, allo ing Slack to score, and Kcill v to
reach thinL Galvin struck out, and lteillv
scored on Miller's single. Beckley followed
with a hit, but Browning's fly was caught by
Thompson.
Where They Banged tho Ball.
Mack's single, and Keilly's sacrifice and
Gnlvin's single scored Mack in the sixth.
Then came the seventh inning. Browning
led off vi ith a single. Carroll got his base on
balls. Bierbauer made a single; and so did
Hanlon; 3Iack got to first on a life hit,
Shiudle making a w ild throw to tho plate,
and Kcilly closed the hitting by thumping
out a home run to left field. All this hitting,
together with the error mentioned, and
errors by Hamilton and Allen, netted six
runs, four of them being earned. A muffled
Ily liy Hamilton and single by Carroll scored
the last run for the home players.
Tho visitors made their second run in the
second inning on a two-bagger by Clements,
a single by Brown and a Micriflce by Allen.
In the seventh a single by Gleason, a three
bagger by Hamilton, a base on balls, a slnglo
bv Gray and another two-bagger by Clem
ents sent in four runs, three ol them being
earned. The score:

Owing to the inability of the Pittsburg
baseball team to play the water polo match
against the Xatatorium team on Friday
evening next, as previously arranged, tho
Sime has been set for Thursday evening,
oth sides express the utmost confidence in
their ability to win, and it remains to be
seen whether the brawn and muscle of the
ball tossers will counterbalance the clever

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS.
Harry Darrld Talks Quite Hopefully About
Defeating Peter Priddy on Decoration
Day The Englishman In Active Train
ing at New Tork.
New York, M 18. Harry Darrin, the English
professional, is at the Berkely Oval training for his
match with Peter Priddy, which takes place at
Exposition Park, Pittsburg, on Decoration Day.
Tbe race Is for 21,000 a side and the three-mile
championship of the world.
A reporter visited the famous Englishman at his
training quarters yesterday. The runner and his
trainer had J U3t returned from a seven-mile spin
over the roads and bills of West Chester county,
and after a rub down and bath, Darrin talked of
tbe coming contest. Frankly, he looks far from
being la condition. He has been doing some hard
work the past, two weeks, but It does not appear
to hare benefitted him much. Instead of feeling
brightened by his exercise he seemed greatly
fatigued and depressed even two hours later. He
acknowledged he was not "feeling just right, you
know," butthought that In the remaining two
weeks he might get fit. But 'fit or not" he added.
"I can beat Priddy easy enough, I guess." His
backer shares this confident feeling, and it is lust
possible that Darrin and his friends may leave their
money In the Smoky City on Memorial Day through
orcr confidence.
This Is the riew of fh3 professional pedestrians.
While the Englishman is a wonder. It must not be
forgotten that Priddy Is probably the fastest man
we hare. When Pete Cannon, the great record
holder, visited this country last year Priddy beat
him in even' distance race on the professional cir
cuit. It Is true the great Scotchman was not in fix,
but the American's victories were of the easy kind,
which left It doubtful If Cannon, well and fit, could
have won.
THE BE00KLYN WINNEB.
Tcnny Is Still in Fine Fettle for Next Satur
day's Big Itaco.
New Tore, May 18. Tenny, the conqueror of
Prince Royal, Tea Tray and 18 others In the Brook
lyn handicap, looked as fresh as a daisy yesterday
afternoon at Sheepshead Bay. He had Just re
turned from an airing in company with two stable
companions, and w alked through the grass as un
concerned as though Brooklyn handicaps were
everyday occurrences with him. '
In his stall, stripped for a rub down, the great
5-year-old was the picture of power. There Is
nothing handsome abont him, but there is some
thing Impressive in the great, strong shoulders,
and tremendous quarters with their bunches of
muscle. The swayback, and it Is so pronouncedly
hollow as to be almost a deformity, makes him the
most singular-looking horse In training. Tho
horse is as sound as he was before the race which
brought his owner so much money and not a little
satisfaction. He wears a bar shoe on the suspi
cious foot, and will probably run all his races
in one this year, as its efficiency has been
demonstrated. Tenny's next race will be for
the St. James Hotel 6takes on Saturday
uprt at r5rvpsind and & flrlancp. at the BrOOklvn
Jockey Club's book programme shows that he may
have to meet Kingston, Prince Eoyal, Potomac
Riley and Burlington. On the form he showed In
the Brooklyn, the race is virtually at Tenny's
mercy, unless Kingston is screwed up to the top
notch. A meeting between these giauts would be
Intensely Interesting. They met In 18S9, and Kings
ton won. bnt the race was not a true ran contest,
as Tenny stepped Into a hole on the upper turn and
lost considerable ground. Last season it was
thought that the pair would try conclusions in the
first special at the Gravesend fall meeting, but
Tenny went amiss, and Kingston had a tussle with
Tournament. It Is to be regretted that Tourna
ment Is not eligible for the St. James Hotel stakes.

McCarthy After Horses.
"White Hat" McCarthy, well known as "Rocky
Mountain Joe," the Sar. Francisco horseman, was
on the limited last evening going back to California
for 80 horses which he will enter In the Eastern
races. He wore, as usual, his famous white hat
made out of the bark of the calcbra tree and he re
joiced over a good wad of boodle In his pocket
which he won on Tcnney. Joe recently nought
White Hart for $4,000. He says Senator Hearst
paid 40,000 for the horse when a yearling. He bid
31,500 for Tournament, but wouldn't go higher.
What Injures Bacing.
Adam Fuchs left for Philadelphia last evening to
help Secretary McCracken in getting entries for
the Homewood races. He is afraid that because
pool-selling Is not permitted that it will injure the
meeting. He says men win not enter fast horses
where pools are not sold.

SECRET PLOTTINGS AGAINST HDI.
The Commissioner Sajs He Is the Victim
of a Conspiracy,
FOEMEDTO BREAKDOWN HIS CIIAEACTEE
Washington, May 18. A reporter this even
ing called tho attention of General Eaum,
Commissioner of Pensions, to the statements
that he contemplated resigning his office.
In reply the Commissioner said: "I have
not said it was my intention to resign, but I
have said that I could not undertake to ad
minister so important a trust as the Com
missioner of Pensions without tho confidence
and support of the President and the Secre
tary of the Interior, and I now say that
Iliavotoo much personal regard for the
President and too great a desire for the suc
cess of his administration to give him an em
barrassment. I had an interview to-day
with Assistant Secretary Chandler, who is
now Acting Secretary of the Interior, and
also with Assistant Secretary Bnssoy. They
both expressed to me their entire satisfac
tion witli my administration and their entire
confidence with me personally."
Tho Commissioner then said: "I wish tho
public to understand there is a coterie in
Washington, some of whom are in the Pen
sion Office, who have formed a conspiracy
to break down my character as a public of
ficer and as a privato citizen, and to bring
the Pension Office into public disrepute."
He added: "I am not to be driven from
the Pension Office by these men. I have de
voted my best thought and energy to its or
ganization, and the bureau is at the present
time one of tho most efficient working organ
izations of tho Government. While there
are a few persons who should be removed
for disloyalty and inefficiency, tho great
body of the office is composed of intelligent,
industrious men and women, who are per
forming their duties with fidelity and zeal
and without partiality or favoritism to any
one. "We are now disposing of more than 30,000
cases a month, and I expect to see this num
ber considerably increased. My wish is to
see tho pensions which are iustly due to old
soldiers granted to them while they are liv
ing, and I believe that tho old soldiers of tho
country will appreciate the labor which is
now being performed in their interest in the
office."
"Then, Mr. Commissioner, you don't con
template resigning at this time?" asked the
reporter.
"I do not." And tho Commissioner added
that his relations with Secretary Noble were
entirely pleasant, and that there was no
quarrel between the Secretary and himself.
MANY SAHOBS LOST.
The Bevenue Cutter Bear Beports the Loss
i of Two Vessels Off Alaska.
Washington, May 18. Captain Shepherd,
of the Revenue Marine Bureau, to-day re
ceived a dispatch from Captain M. A. Healy,
commanding tho revenue cutter Bear, in
which he reports tho arrival of that vessel at
Seattle, Wash., to-day. Tho Bear went on a
mission to tho West of Alaska for the De
partment of Justice, and Captain Healy says
it was fully and satisfactorily accomplished.
The Captain says in his telegram that the
schooners Premier and Dashing Wave were
lost about Shumagin Islands in April. He
brought down 15 of the Premier's crew.
RUesays nothing about the remainder of
the Premier's crew, nor of the Dashing
Wave. It is supposed that they were left at
some one of the fishing stations in Alaska.
The Bear will now coal and take on board
other supplies, and probably be ready to
sail for Bering Sea about June to Join the
Rush, which will precedo her.
A SILVER PROBLEM.
Secretary Foster Is Now Confronted With a
Very Interesting One.
Washington, May 18. An interesting ques
tion has arisen at the Treasury Department
in connection with the present silver law,
which authorized the Secretary of tbe
Treasury to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of sil
ver eaoh month and to issrio Treasury notes
thereon. Tho Treasurynotesthus far issued
on the bullion purchased under tho act ag
gregate $13,552,000. The department coins
2,000,000 standard silver dollars, and the law
says that any gain orseignorago arising from
such coinage shall be accounted for and
paid into the Treasury.
Under this law the Government has al
ready gained by seignorage $2,545,000. The
question that now confronts the Secretary
is whether or not he can, under any circum
stances, issue silver certificates against this
amount.

The Sentences of the Navassa Rioters Com
muted to Life Imprisonment.
Washington, May 18. The President dis
posed of the case of the Navassa rioters to
day. His action is embodied in th e following
indorsement of the application for executive
clemency:
"I have examined with care the papers
submitted in these cases and am not willing
that the death sentence should be executed.
The killing was as to each of the prisoners
satisfactorilly established and that it was
felonious is also clear. But the conditions
surrounding the prisoners and their fellows
were of a most peculiar character, This is
not a case for a pardon: the crime was a very
grave one; but, taking into account all of its
antecedents and incidents, I have concluded
to commute the sentences to Imprisonment
for life."

THE QUEEN EXPELLED.
NATALIE, OF SEBTIA, TAKEN FROM
HER HOME IN BELGRADE.
The Students Take the Horses From Her
Carriage and Draw Her Back' to Her
Residence The Next Step May Be Rev
olution. Belgrade, May 18. Tho Prefect of this
city who was charged by tho Regents with
the-duty of expeUing ex-Queen Natalie from
Servian territory went to tho hitter's resi
dence to-day, and in spite of her earnest
protests compelled her to enter a carriage,
which drove toward the quay on the Danube
where the royal yacht was moored.
Tho news that tho ex-Queen was really to
be expelled from Servia had, in the mean
time, spread throughout' Belgrade, and had
reached the students' quarters. The latter
promptly turned out in force, and as tho car
riage containing tho unhappy lady was being
driven toward tho Danube, it was sur
rounded by a crowd of students, who seized
the horses heads, brought the vehicle to a
standstill, and loudly cheered the royal pris
oner. The students then detached the horses
'from the carriage and dragged tho vehicle
back to the ex-Queen's residence, cheering
loudly ns they passed through the streets.
The Prefect, assisted by a force of gen
darmes tried in vain to regain possession of
the ox-Queen, and several collisions took
place between the gendarmes and the
students.
Tho regents are anxiously discussing the
next step to take, as it is evident that a
serious popular disturbance may be caused
by any action on their part as It is evident
that the ex-Queen is not so friendless as
some peoplo supposed.
COLLECTING FUNDS IN AMERICA
Because -of the Impoverished Condition of
I People in Persia.
Key. Father Bar Silman, of Persia, is in
the pity. He came to this country to take
up ol collection in all the large German con
gregations in the leading cities. While here
he il a guest of the Benedictine Fathers, of
St. Mary's, in Allegheny, where he has
alrckdy done well financially.
Father Silman states that the Persian
Government has granted the right to
Catholics to build churches and institutions
of learning, if they can get enough outside
means to carry on their work, but the
Govprnment will not allow the inhabitants
to contribute anything, on account of the
impoverished condition of the people.
HcrJco, it is that Father Silman makes a
special visit to this country.
WARM, BUT NO RAIN.
That Is the Prediction- Announced by the
Signal Service People.
With the frosts coming nightly, everybody
who has any interest in tho fruit crop and
who hasn't has been hoping for warmer
weather and rain. Warm weather is a posi
tive necessity, and so is the rain for that
matter, but there are lots of necessities that
have to be given tbe go-by.
That is the case this time. Last night the
Signal Service people said warm weather is
coming, in fact the advance guard is here.
But to the question as to rain, tho reply was,
"nary a drop." It is now time for the fruit
growers and grain growers to hope for the
weather man to as usual make a mistake
and he have a small-sized deluge strike the
earth, or, at least Allegheny county.

ITS A STEM CHASE.
The Charleston Once More in Pursuit
of the Eehel Itata.
NOT MUCH CHANCE FOB A FIGHT.
Chileans Say They Are Not Afraid, Irat
Will Be Very Cautious.
PEESEOT LEGAL ASPECT OF THE CASE
Crrv op Mexico, May 18. The War Depart
ment has received a dispatch from Acapulco
which says that there is no probability of a
fight between the Charleston and Esmeralda,
The Itata, if she has not been captured, un
less by some other United States cruiser, is
probably off Central America by this time,
with fuel furnished by the Esmeralda. Gen
eral Pedro Hino Josa, Secretary of War, said
this morning that Mexico insists that her
neutrality be respected, and she will not in
terfere with the Esmeralda beyond refusing
to sell her coal or arms.
An officer of tho Esmeralda told your cor
respondent at Acapulco yesterday that his
vessel would try and get coal here, but if
refused he said she could get elsewhere
within a few hours. Ho said: "We are not
afraid of a conflict with tho Charleston, but
our orders are to be prudent and not provoke
a conflict!" He stated that his captain re
ceived a long cipher dispatch from his Gov
ernment in Chile Saturday, but that its con
tents were unknown to him.
Tho Charleston Again in the Chase.
A dispatch from Washington says: Just
before 4 o'clock this afternoon the Navy De
partment received confirmation of tho press
dispatch to the effect that the Charleston
sailed southward .from Acapulco last even
ing, leaving the Esmeralda in port. There
was no word of the Itata. The presumption
is that tho Charleston's commander was sat
isfied that the Itata had passed Acapulco
either before he arrived there or while he
lay in port, and that he has resumed the
long chase. It is estimated that the Itata
has been steaming along at about seven
knots, and as she was ten days out last Fri
day night she should at that time have been
Just off Acapulco, whore it is reported from
that place she met the Esmeralda. As sheis
a much smaller vessel than the Esmeralda
and burns very much less coal, it is regarded
as within the probabilities that the latter
fnTtlii. HTinTil v nf eniil.
If it be true that the Itata was off Acapul
co Friday night she had two full days' start
of the Charleston when the latter started
again in pursuit last night. This is about
the same lead that she had when she started
from San Diego, so that it does not appear
that the chase is any nearer a conclusion.
But if tho two vessels now follow the same
course, the Charleston, steaming at 14 knots,
should come up with the Itata by to-morrow
night. This event, of course, is based upon
the assumption, which is not founded upon
a strong probability, that the two vessels are
steering exactly the same course. If the
Charleston passes the Itata the next port
where they are likely to be heard from is
Panama, about 1,200 miles from Acapulco, or
Payta, Peru, still further down the coast.
As it is the vessels have probably covered
less than half the distance- to Iquitue, the
nearest Chilean port.
Legal Aspect of the Case.
A dispatch from San Francisco, says: It is
stated that tho grand jury which has been
in session at Los Angeles investigating the
facts in relation to the cargo carried by the
Chilian ship Itata, now being sought by the
United States cruiser Charleston and other
warships, obtained the testimony of two
deserters from the Itata. These men, it is
stated, testified that whon the Itata started
north she had on board 60new rifles 'and 200
old ones. When the Esmeralda and the
Itata met' off Cape San Lucas, the former
had 350 men all told, the Itata had 90 sailors
and 60 soldiers, the latter being in citizens
clothes. They were instructed that if they
divulged tho secret of the vessel's mission
the death penalty would follow. The Itata
carried four 60-pound guns that wore hidden
under the canvas with her small arms in tho
forward hold. The soldiers were stowed
away there also, being sent them from on
deck. Every appearance of the vessol being
prepared for war was removed two days
before she Bteamed into San Diego when she
looked like a first-class and clean merchant
man. It was understood by everybody
aboard that the Itata w.as on the outlook for
the schooner with the rifles and other mu
nitions of war. The programme for the
Itata to get munitions of war from the
Bobeft and Minnie.
Some information was obtained.indicating
that it was the intention of the Itata to
transfer the guns and ammunition from the
Itata to the Esmeralda at Pichiluque, on the
west coast of Lower California. Whether
the Esmeralda met the Itata there before
returntng to Acapulco is one question still
unanswered. If such is the fact, then tho
Itata has slipped by tho Charleston and is
on her way to Irmiqui. Solicitor General
Taft, under Attorney General Miller, who is
In Los Angeles nt present, conducting the
investigation on behalf of the United States
Government, issued subpoenas for there
ports of the Western Union and Postal Tele
graph companies respectively. These sub
poenas call for gentlemen mentioned to pro
duce the telegrams that have passed over
their lines in the past month relating to
Chilean affairs, and between every person in
the slightest manner suspected of being con
nected with them.
