Bos,to. June 15. l"ir sc cral innings in to
du" isime it looked as though the Pitts
burg's had more than a
lighting chance to win. But
in the eighth inning the
Bostons clinched the game
by an unexpected hatting
streak and the 'visitors
again gac up the ghost.
The game was marked by
unexpected errors in un
expected quarters and the
only explanation is the
lilcless condition of the
atmosphere. The tempera
ture was 9G in the shade,
and in the sun the heat
was almost overpow eriug.
Nobody blamed the play
ers for making errors and
nobody w ould have kicked
if the game had been called
nt the end of the fifth on account of the
luat The fun began in the first inning and
both sides had a hand iu it but the Bean
caters took the lion's iharc of the runs.
Stoiey Made a Home Kan.
Long was presented with his bae and
Sto ey thought it as a good time to make
a home run The ball sailed over the left
field fence and Boston had to runs for a
nest egg. Quiun Hied out and Xash started
the ball once more tor u single. He stole
second and Brodie w alked to first on balls.
A pissed ball advanced each a base
and Tucker's long fly to Carroll let Nash
in with the third run for Boston The
i isitors vtarted in w ith as much rashness as
did the Bo-ton hut they could not keep up
the pace ith Carroll out, Beckle showed
what he could do in the slugging line and
trotted gracetully around the bases while
the railroad nicn'w ere looking for the ball.
Browning's hit was fumbled oy Long, and
w hen Fields was hit by a pitched ball it
looked a though the visitors w ere going to
tie the score, but Maul forced Fields at sec
ond, and u ben Miller's foul lodged in Gun
zU's huuds they went out to the field with
onlj one run to their credit. It was not
until the third inning that the game again
became exciting, w hen the Bostons had rep-ie-entatl
es on third and second bases with
onlj one out. and the crowd saw visions of
another run, but thej didn't materialize, for
Miller caught Brodie's flyand Tucker struck
nut Lowe opened the fourth inning for
Boston with a pretty three-bagger and
scored on Ganzel's long fly to Carroll.
Thej Were Easy Victims.
The other Beaneaters were easy victims.
When the Pittsburgs wont to the bat Miller
yaw the score 4 to 1 against him and called
cut to Fields "Xow hit 'er out, my boy; this
I tne time w e do them."' Then he hoodooed
tho Bo-tons The hoodoo lasted until the
bases were filled and then it lost its force.
The sj)ectators breathed easier when tho
hi-t man was out and the same men were
left on the ba-e. Long made another dis-n-trou-
tumble and Fields was safe. Maul
wav gn en his base, anil Fields moved up a
peg Miller popped up a little flj which
Nichols could easilj hae caught, but Gan
zel stuck out his big gloic and the ball
dropped Becklej and JJcilly Were coach
ing lor all the were worth, and foghorn
Mllleradded to the din from his position on
r-t ba-e. Berger lifted a little flv, and
when the ball fell Tucker, Nichols, Ganzel
imd Q mm had their hands stretched out to
grab it, and each one was jelling- "Look
out I've got it" It's a wonder the ball
wasn't dropped Xichols held at, and then
tliequaitet glared at each other. Keilly was
out lr. Jjntj on a hot foul liner to Ganzel.
All hope was centered on King, but he was
not the right man for the emergency. He
hi! a grounder to Quinn and the excitement
wasovei.
Still Tiling 'Em Cp.
Ill the fltth inning Bostons scored again
alter two were out on battery errors by
King, a hit bj Tucker and a fumble by Maul.
1m isitors also scored a single run on
Long's muff of Cat roll's fly, a sacrifice by
Beekley, a w lid pitch and Browning's single.
A prom double play clo-ed the inning. A
two-lugger and u single gave the Bostons
Hiiotiicr run an the se cntli and m that same
inning the -visitors made a brace which
looked dangerous. Beillv hit safelv and
went to third on Ganzel's wild throw"; King
Jlied out to Brodie and Carroll gav e Ganzel
a foul flv Beekley sent Keilly across the
plate w ith a single and w ent to second on
itovej's fumble and scored on Browning's
two-bagger to right Then Fields dashed
cold water on the hopes of his companions
by striking out. The score w as then six to
four in Boston's fav or. The eighth inning
M-ttled the question as to tho winner of the
game.
Hanged Out the Ball.
The Bo-tons found the ball again and
banged it all ov er the lot. A costly fumble
bj Berger filled the bases with Bostonians
w lieu a double play should have been made,
Tlicr cune a fusilade of hits and the Bostons
scored five runs before anj one was retired.
Then thej w ent out m order. A home run
by Low e gav c the Bostons another run in
the last inning, but they didn't need it. The
1'ittsburgs bunched tw o hits in their half of
the hist inning and scored one run alter two
men had been retired, but they were hope
leslj behind in the race and the run did not
help matters much. The score:

The Latest Gossip About To-Day's Big Turf
Rvent at Sheepshead Bay Tenny May
Go to the Post an Extraordinarily Hot
Favorite Tea Tray Has Also a Good
Following.
rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. J
New York, June 13. The Suburban handi
cap, the second of the big events of tho
year, is to be decided to-morrow afternoon
at the Coney Island Jockey Club's pict
uresque track at Sheepshead Bay, and, while
the race has been robbed of much of its in
terest by tho withdrawal of the game little
Firenzi and the fleet Kingston, who were ex
pected to give Tenny a battle royal for the
honors, the contest is bound to be inspiring
and the victor will not return to the scales
without knowing that he has been racing.
It is probable that Tenny will go to the
post the most pronounced favorite that has
ever started for any of our great spring
handicaps. If Isaac Murphy has the mount
it is a guarantee that the horse will be rid
den w ell, as w ell as human hands can guide
him, and should he lose on his merits there'
will be no excuse for him. It is a singular
fact that his most doughty opponent is also
a son of Ryan D'Or, tho speedy Tea Tray.
He carries ten pounds less than the favorite,
but while a horse of great speed and un
doubted gameness, nobody has ever thought
him anything like the equal of his dis
tinguished relative. Billy Lakeland refused
to-day to divulge the name of his rider.
Although there are 17 starters named over
night, there will hardly be more than 10 or
12 at the post. Next to Tenny the chances of
Tea Tray are considered most brilliant, and
many persons will Ignore tho favorite and
support Tea, Tray for the place. Riley's vic
tories have penalized him to such an extent
that he willjcarry 125 pounds. Tom Kiley,
who rode the colt in ninny of his most nota
ble races, and who understands him thor
oughly, has come on from Chicago to ride
Corngan's colt, but it Is difficult to figure
how lie has a chance to beat Tenny or Tea
Tray on a dry last track. Raceland's last
two races at Morris Park were of the im
proving kind, and showed conclusively that
the old gelding is getting back into his best
form. When on edge he is an opponent to
be feared, bnt he is scaroely at concert pitch
yet, and if he starts will scarcely play a
prominent part. Judge Morrow, 123, is
tarred with the same stick.

Mr. Uartlett made a speech to the plumed
contingent from Pittsburg, which was
cheered to the echo.
Delegations arrived from Western Penn
sylvania all day, and by the time that
orders are given for the big parade to move
to-morrow, Cleveland will have a larger
delegation than ever invaded the city as
representatives of any secret organization.
The Juniors spent to-day seeing sights.
The first point of interest visited was the
tomb of President Garfield in the Lakeview
Cemetery. To-morrow's demonstration Is
intended to serve a double purpose. While
it is in honor of the National Council of the
older, it is also a celebration of the anniver

city. At 1:30 o'clock the parade will be
formed on St. Clair street, and during the
march will pass in review before Mayor
Rose and the City Council. The only busi
ness that will bo transacted to-morrow will
be tho submission of the annual reports of
National Councilor Bartlett and Iatlonnl
Secretary Deemer. The report of the former
shows that the membership has increased to
the Immense number of 100,000, the order
having been planted in several new States
since the last session in Chicago. He makes
quite a number of recommendations, among
others, the follow mg:
More Organizers Are Wanted.
First The placing of competent national
organizers in States having less than 25
councils, one to be located in New England,
one In the Middle and Southern States, and
the. third in tho West, they to be under the
supervision of the national board of officers.
Second The enlargement of the powers of
the Deputy National Councilors in States
where there are no State Councils.
In regard to the custom of placing flags on
public school buildings, which was origin
ated In Pittsburg, Mr. Bartlett says: "The
placing of the American flag by our order
on the public schools in many of our large
cities and towns lias done much to bring our
order into prominence, and has given it a
warm place in the hearts of the people.
This should be encouraged. Let us hope
that the time will come when this
beautiful custom will be universal, and that
tne American nag
will not. only be
found upon school
houses and public
buildings, but in
every home, and
thatth e love for tho
Stars and Stripes
shall prevail every
where." The report of Na
tional Secretary
Deemer it an ex

the progress of the
organization in the
various States. As

organization, Mr. Deemer'says:
Immigration and Free Schools.
"Restriction of immigration and our free
school system are now the rallying cry for
every one who values his Jibertics aud who
desires to perpetuate them for his children.
Tho political parties of tho future can pro
mulgate no platform which will be complete
without restricting Immigration and foster
ing the free school system of our country.
During the last few years wo have increased
tenfold in our membership, and while we
have cause for congratulation in this fact,
the principles which we are promulgating
hav o increased in still greater. ratio.
"The critic may caviland say: What have
you donoT You boast of your lodge mem
bership. What are you doing with it? May
we not modestly claim some small share In
educating the public mind to a comprehen
sion of the terrible evils which threaten to
engulf us, through the dumping upon our
shores of tho criminal horde 3 of Euiope.
The American people are slow to realize
these dangers, so conscious are they of their
own strength and of the stability of our In
stitutions. They aro long-suffering, and it
may take some such affair as that at New
Orleans to awaken them, hut when justice
fads in its duty, the people will assert their
sovereignty. The Now Orleans massacre,
must be looked upon with regret by every
true American. Tho principles which are
at the foundation of our Government is
obedience to law.
The People Most Kulo.
"While wo must regret the act, wo are com
pelled to appreciate the truth of the immor
tal words, that this is a Government of the
people, for the people and by the people, and
when the servants of the people fail in their
duty, then the people will show their sov
ereignty. As we contemplate the mission of
our order, the conditions and circumstances
which surround us, we cannot escape the
feeling of responsibility which 13 upon us,
the strongest purely American organization
in the United States.
"About ono month ago our order at large,
but especially in Pennsylvania, was called
to part with one of its most popular and ear
nest members. I allude to J. P. Winower, a
Past National Representative and the senior
member of the Board of Officers. He was
known to the members of this body almost
equally as well as those of his own State, for
he has been present at nearly every session
of this body for the last five years. From
July, 1889, to July, 1890, he was State Coun
cilor of Pennsylvania, organizing during his
term 153 councils, visiting all sections of the
State, and resigning his position to his suc
cessor, having won universal commendation
for hia fidelity to the trust reposed in him. I
suggest that a memorial page be set apart in
the proceedings of this session."

CniCAQO, June 15. The annual meeting of
the Supreme Council of Federated Railway
Employes begun in this city this afternoon.
The members only remained in session a few
minutes when an adjournment was taken to
attend the funeral of Vice Grand Master
Drury, one of the founders of the Railway
Svv itchmen's Btothcrhood.
Speaking of the meeting. Secretary Sheahan
said: "You may besure that nothing further
will bo done with reference to the North
western matter. The switchmen had a right
to resign if they wished, and the council has
acted. There is a feeling that the switchmen
have rushed into print too largely. The
matter may bo of great concern to them, but
to the General Council it is a matter of small
moment."
The council will discuss changes in the
constitution w hich hav c been, shown to be
necessary, especially to prevent strikes by
part of the federation without allowing the
Supremo Council an oportunity to act.

The oysters ot Port Lincoln in South

sometimes more than a foot across the shell,
and the oyster fits his habitation so well
that he does not leave much margin.
It is a new sensation when a friend asks
you to lunch, at Adelaide, to have one
oyster fried in butter, or in eggs and bread
crumbs, set before you, but it is a very
pleasant experience; for the flavor" and deli
cacy of the Port Lincoln mammoth are pro
verbial, even in that land of luxuries.
Efficiency and Economy of Coal.
A new chemical compound has been ap

this treatment are increase in heat, economy
of time and fuel, consumption of smoke,
prevention of soot and a material reduction
in the quantity of ashes. The saving in
coal is said to be from 15 to 30 per cent. It
is further claimed that by using this com
pound on bituminous coal from 80 to 00 per
cent of the coal is consumed, and that all
the obnoxious gases are destroyed.

THE TRUCE DECLARED
r
Between Great Britain and United
States on Bering Sea.
CLOSE SEAL SEASON AGREED ON.
Salisbury Finally Gives in to the Terras
llarrison Offers.
THE CORRESPONDENCE ON TIIE SUBJECT
"Washington, June 15. The agreement
between the United States and British Gov
ernments for a close season in Bering Sea,
known as the modus vivendi, was signed to
day. This action was at once followed by
the issuance of a proclamation by the Presi
dent on the subject, making public the
agreement that both governments will pro
hibit seal killing until May of next year.
The arrangement was carried to comple
tion with a degree of speed without prece
dent in the history of the State Department
and the cable has been relied upon to an un
wonted extent. The agreement was signed
this morning by Sir Julian Pauncefote and
Mr. Wharton. The Navy Department has
been advised and orders are now in prepara
tion for the immediate dispatch of probably
two navul vessels-from San Francisco to
Alaska w here they will assist the three rev
enue cutters in the task of driving off the
poaching sealing vessels. The agieement
authorizes United States vessels to seize,
offending British vessels, which, however,
are to be turned over to the British authori
ties for trial, and this feature of the agree
ment is expected to prove of great value.
Correspondence on the Subject.
The Department of State to-day also mado
public the correspondence on the subject of
the Bering Sea seal fisheries, which has
taken place since May 23 last. The matter
begins with a note dated June 3, submitted
by Sir Julian Pauncefote, in reply to Secre
tary Blaine's letter of May 4. In that letter
the Secretary says that soon after the ad
journment ol Congress he submittedto the
Minister a proposition for a modus vivendi
pending the result of arbitration. This was
in substance that sealing be totally sus
pended by both nations and subsequently the
proposition was modified to allow 7,500 seal
to be killed to maintain the natives.
To this proposition Sir Julian Pauncefote
replied w ith an amended drutt of the agree
ment, which opens this mass of correspon
dence. This drafted agreement In Its first
articles differs from the one signed to-day,in
co ermg by the interdict against killlng.the
whole Bering Sea and its Islands. It also
piovided lor British Consuls to the islands
this summer, and provided that unless the
assent of Russia be obtained to tho conven
tion it should not come into operation.
No British Consuls AUowed.
In reply theTresident said that no British
consular functions could be exercised on the
Bering Sea Islands, but that reasonable facil
ities might be extended Great Britain for in
vestigating, at the islands, any facts in
volved in the controversy to be arbitrated.
The bringing of Russia into the affair at this
time could not be granted by the United
States.
This reply was sent to Lord Salisbury, and
on June 6, two days later, his response was
received. In it he accepts the President's
suggestion as to the capturo by either power
ol violators of the agreement, ana the
turning over to the power to which the
violators might belong for trial, but ho
thinks in return Britain should have grant
ed her a consnl on the islands to see that no
more than 7,500 seals were taken. This w as
regarded indispensable, and in place of a
consul asks that a British agent may be
"Specially authorized to reside on the
islands." Tho demand to take Russia into
the situation was withdrawn by Salisbury.
Regarding the British claim that the inter
dict shall cover all Behring Sea, the shores
and islands included, the President points
out that the shores and Islands belong to the
United States nnd any mutual policing of
United States territorial waters involved an
insuperable difficulty on our part and a
concession which no independent govern
ment could be expected to make.
Salisbury Conies to Time.
The President once more formulates the
agreed points and his own views as indicated
on others in a proposition formodus Vivendi.
Tills date of the President bore date June 9
and proved to be the ultimate form of agree
ment which was signed to-day. On June 18
Salisbury's final reply Is delivered, In which
he accepts the President's form of agree
ment for a modu3 Vivendi, uttering some
objections, how ever, which are not pressed.
The State Department agrees to the ap
pointment of a joint commission to ascer
tain what measures are necessary for the
preservation of the seal species, such an
agreement to be signed simultaneously with
tho convention for arbitration, and to be
without prejudice to the questions to be
submitted to the arbitrators. In the same
communication the President names Mon
day, June 15, at 10 A. it., as the time for sign
ing the agreed proposals, and Pauncefote
was notified accordingly.
THE DUKE OF FIFE'S BABY.
Enough Presents Were Sent to FLU a Large
Drygoods Store.
The presents received by the Duke and
Duchess of Fife in anticipation of the
baby's birth were sufficient tp fill a large
drygoods store. Among other things nine
cradles arrived. Two of these are of solid
black ebony inlaid with gold, and a third is
of silver filigree work, modelled after the
marble cradle exhibited in Westminster
Abbey as a monument to the infahtgrand
child of Mary, Queen of Scots this by way
of compliment, no doubt, to the Duke of
Fife's Scotch lineage.
Another is made of ordinary dried bul
rushes, and was sent by no less aperson than
the Queen Begent of Spain, who, in an
autograph letter, drew attention to the fact
that the luckiest baby known was Moses,
and he was similarly cradled. Her Spanish
Majesty took away all idea of meanness with
her present by filling the little bulrush re
ceptacle with several hundred yards of the
most exquisite and beautiful Arragon lace.
A simple Scotchwoman, a. tenant of the
Duke of Fife, sent the Duchess an ordinary
wicker clothes basket, with an affectionate
motherly letter, in which she hoped that the
Duchess would like the basket as she her
self (the old Scotch body), had found one
"so nice and comfortable for her own wee
bairns."
FISH LIVING IN ICE.
One Little Fellow Survived After Six
Months Imprisonment.
The great severity of the cold last winter
has raised the question whether fish suffer
injury from being inclosed for long periods
in solid ice. A correspondent of XaCure
quotes a case in which an icebag for appli
cation to an invalid's head' had been filled
in July from an icehouse which had been
stored with ice the previous December. The
ice was thus 6 months' old, and yet, when
the bag was emptied after use, a little fish
was found swimming merrily about in the
water which camp from it. The ice had
originally been gathered from a pond in the
neighborhood.
Another correspondent of the same peri
odical, dating from a London suburb, writes
that in a pond there several small carp and
innumerable sticklebacks were embedded in
the ice last December, and that when
pieces of the ice were broken up and the
fish placed in water they showed no sign of
life. Seeing that these results are so at
variance with one another, it would be in
teresting to institute experiments to settle
the point. If fish can really be kept alive
at a temperature below the freezing point,
a new industry might arise in the importa
tion of Canadian salmon, as palatable as
that which is taken from our own rivers.
Now York Is Growing Later.
"Do you realize that New, York is con
stantly growing later?'' said a theatrical
man to a New York Herald reporter. "We
eat our dinner later every year, go to parties
and receptions later, and, worst of all, the
public taste is forcing us to begin our theat
rical performances later every season. The
half-past eight rule is becoming almost uni
versal now. In a few years, I venture to
predict, no theatre will open before that
Lour."

We don't like to use the
term in connection with hon
orable competition, but the
fakes that clothiers resort to,
to catch trade, make their
vocation as nefarious as that
of the pickpocket.
It is as bad to misrepre
sent an article as it is to pick
a man's pocketbook.

a first-class, reliable way of
dealing:
Our goods are marked

one price to all. No devia
tion from this rule. Money
