Pouv Games Kiul the Temple Cup
Series.
Now York, Oct. 9. —The New Yorks
have won the Temple cup and will re
ceive 65 per cent, or about $22,000 after
ull expenses have been paid. The
champion Baltlmores were never in the
game at the Polo grounds, and were
badly thrashed. It was the New
York's fourth consecutive victory, and
1 1,000 persons went wild with delight.
Meekin pitched a magnificent game
from the start to finish and but for
errors by Fuller and Davis the cham
pions would have been shut out.
Hawke began pitching for Baltimore
hut after four innings, in which he was
pounded hard, he gave way to Kid
Gleason, who was very easy to find.
In all. Ward's men rolled up twenty
safe hits, Doyle. Van Haltren, Fuller
and Farrell leading in the sluughter.
Farrell caught superbly. Fuller also
played good ball, barring a bad error
in the first inning. In the sixth inning
Van Haltren and Jennings collided at
second base; Van's nose was badly
bruised and Jennings was cut over the
left eye. They had to give Way to Mur
phy and Bonner, respectively, while
physicians dressed their wounds. The
Baltlmores scored two runs In the first
Inning on Kelley's base on balls. Ful
ler's fumble of Heeler's grounder,
Brouthers' out and McGraw's single.
Burke scored a run for New York on
liis base on balls, a steal, Hawke's
error and a wild pitch. In the third
the visitors got another run on Davis'
two errors, Brodie's out and Reitz's
single. The New Yorks also made a
run on hits by Meekin, Tlernan and
Doyle. After the champions had been
blanked in the fourth, Ward's men
rolled up three runs and took the lead.
Van Haltren, Fuller, Farrell and
Meekin made singles, Burke sent a j
long fly to Brodie, and Fuller and Far- j
roll worked in a double steal. Gleason .
took llawke's place In the fifth inning !
and the New Yorks clinched the game, j
Davis got a base on balls, and took I
second on a wild pitch. He scored on
Doyle's double, but Ward forced Doyle
at third. Van Haltren got four balls
and Fuller's single scored Ward. Van
came in on Farrell's hit, while both
Fuller and Farrell counted on Meekln's
baser to centre. In the sixth Doyle
made another run on his single and
steal, an error by McGraw and Ward's
out. The home team piled up live more
runs in the seventh. With one out,
Farrell singled and Meekin filed to
Brodie. Burke made a telling hit,
sending Farrell to third and stealing
second himself. Tiernan got a base on
balls and Davis received another, forc
ing in Farrell. Doyle put a single In
centre, bringing in both Burke and
Tiernan. Ward's hit scored Davis, and
Doyle ran in, too, on McGraw's failure
to stop Brodie's throw to third. In the
lifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings
the visitors were helpless before Mee
kin, and when the New Yorks had been
retired in their half of the eighth, the
game was called on account of dark
ness. The score stood 16 to 3.
Van Haltren was presented with a
silver bat as the result of a voting con
test In a New York paper for the most
popular player In either the New York
or Brooklyn teams.
THIRTEEN WERE DROWNED.
Terrible Disaster in a Storm Near '
St. Kitts.
New York, Oct. 9.—The following
dispatch has been received from St.
Kltts, under date of Oct. 1:
A terrible disaster occurred In the
harbor of Barreterre within a stone's
throw of the shore, by which thirteen
persons were drowned In the height of
the storm of Sept. 20. One of the
traders between St. Kitts and Nevis,
in which were twenty-two passengers
and crew, foundered.
Heroic efforts to rescue the strug
gling passengers were made in spite
of the furious wind and sea, and
those rescued from the illfated craft,
as well as from other boats in dis
tress, exceed largely the number
drowned.
Those drowned lived in Nevis, with
one exception.
No Meddling with Letters. ~
Washington, Oct. 9. —The statement
that the letters of officials of the United
States cruiser Charleston had been
opened by the Japanese officials and
that all communications passing
through the mails are carefully scru
tinized, Is denied at the legation. A
similar story was in circulation In Ran
Francisco six weeks ago when the
present minister passed through that
city, and was then authoritatively de
nied by him. There is a provision in
the now constitution of Japan which
expressly prevents any interference
with private letters, except in the most
extreme cases.

lias loyally observed the conditions of
the Madagascar convention of 1885.
M. Deloncle expresses his conviction
tiiat England will not alter her policy
in regard to Madagascar. The Figaro

involved would be very heavy and the
advantages extremely doubtful.

JOY AT NEW BEDFORD.
Bpinncrs and Mill Owners Reach
an Agreement.
New Bedford, Mass., Oct. 9.—The
biggest strike that New Bedford ever
had is practically ended. The strike
has lasted eight weeks, and during
that time much more suffering has
been endured by the Idle operatives
than will be ever known. The mills
will start their machinery on Thurs
day morning and the operatives will
lloek into the gates In a happy frame
of mind. During the past week they
have suffered from lack of food and
warmth. The committee appointed by
the spinners on Friday last, consisting
of Messrs. Ross, Rowan, Smith, Rob
inson, Hancock, Perrln and Barnes,
met the mill treasurers at A. C.
Pierce's office on North Water street.
The conference began at 3 o'clock and
lasted until 5:30. When the spinners'
representatives came from the meet
ing the following was handed the re
porter for the United Press by Pres
ident Rowan, of the spinners' union:
"The spinners, In conference with the
mill treasurers, mutually agreed that
the spinners of this city go back to
work on a reduction of 5 per cent, in
wages, with the understanding that I
whatever final settlement is made at
Fall River shall also apply here."
Immediately after the meeting of
the two bodies the spinners proceeded
to Spiners hall, where the conference
committee of the various labor organ
izations were in waiting to hear the
result of the conference. The meeting
was immediately called to order by
Chairman Connolly. The proceedings
of the conference with the manufact
urers was gone over and after quite a
discussion the representatives of the
various unions retired and discussed
the advisability of accepting the agree- ,
merit. In a few moments the repre
sentatives reconvened and practical
ly agreed to go to work. The
spinners' committee agreed that if j
the mill treasurers would not agree to
take all the operatives back under the >
agreement that they would not go in J
themselves, but It Is said there will be j
no trouble on that score as this was I
the understanding at the conference j
with the manufacturers.
The operatives about town are feeling j
very jubilant. It is learned that the !
places of the operatives who have left i
the city on account of strike will be |
kept for one week after the mills re- j
sume operations. This was a condition ,
imposed on the mill treasurers by the I
spinners' committee. Many operatives !
who have left the city will no doubt ;
take the opportunity to return. One of
the manufacturers was seen after the i
meeting and said that the agreement j
contained all the particulars of the con
ference. He said the meeting was very j
harmonious and he spoke o/ the repre- '
sentatlves of the spinners as smart
men. For his part, he said, he was
glad the matter was settled. He was
asked If the weavers were going to j
work with the rest of the unions and |
he replied: "The weavers should have
less fault to find than any of the other
unions for they have been cut the least.
Their cut will amount to only about 1
per cent, on an average."
"Will they be furnished with particu
lars. if they ask for them?" was asked.
"Why they have about all they want
now," was the answer, and the mill j
manager would say no more.
TOO GOOD JOBS TO LOSE. I
New York Police Officers Want To I
Get Back on the Force.
New York, Oct. 9. —Ex-Police Captain
Michael Doherty and wardmen Bernard
Meehan and John Hoch, who were re
cently dismissed from the force and
are seeking through certiorari proceed
ings a vindication in the supreme
court, are anxious to have their cases
disposed of as quickly as possible,
in the hope that the accusa
tions that have been made against (
them may be proved unjustifiable, and
the courts may restore them to their
respective positions on the force. No
returns in either of their cases to the
writs of certiorari have been made,
and only last week the time within
which the commissioners were to file
the returns wus extended for twenty
days, so that It would be the last of
this month before the returns would
be filed in any event should that exten
sion stand. The ex-captain and ward
men applied to Justice Lawrence in
the superior court to vacate the order
extending the time of the commission
ers twenty days, from Sept. 27, within
which to file the returns to the writs
and their motion was granted.
CHARITY FREELY TESTED.
Financial Aid lor the Fall River
Strikers.
Fall River, Mass., Oct. 9.—The eighth
week of the strike is on. The city is

loaves of bread to the poor and the
United Friends' Social club gave away
500 dinners last evening. The free
soup distributions are going on and
more than 2,000 persona are being fed
daily In this way. Secretaries Ross,
of New Bedford, and Howard, of this
city, left in the Fall River line boat
last evening for New York to meet
Samuel Gompers and arrange for regu
lar support for members of the Na
tional Mule Spinners' association. The
weavers executive committee will meet
to arrange for the distribution of $4,000
among 3,000 members.

Berlin, Oct. 9. —The several anti-Sem

cided, through their delagate in con
ference at Eisenach, to combine under

party. The extreme tendencies of the
conference were shown by the heart
iness with which it received ex-Hector

blatant Jew-baiter in Germany.
