The Juice which ic "ds the trolley cars gave out Just about the time the faithful were casting aside their business In order to see the game and not more than half of them were able to attend. The start of the game was delayed ten minutes so xthat those who walked or took another route could reach the grounds In time to scold Umpire Levy. And they did scold him, too. The worst part of it was that he did not deserve it not yesterday. Kialer' Vain Dream Fades. Fisher brought his ball-tossers over from Seattle and really thought he was going to take the first game. Honestly he did, he even went so far as to figure out his average on Happy Hogan's cult. Fisher entertained this misguided thought "until the second Inning, then his dream collapsed. "While he was dreaming, idly dreaming, the Browns fell upon "Cute" Fitzgerald for four bingles. He gave Nadeau a pass, and stove in Buck Free man's diaphragm with an inshoot, then Captain Graham threw the ball to the score board, and, when the smoke of battle had cleared, Fred Ely's men were six runs to the "better." Mlque Fisher sat with his coat off until this-chapter, but the frost that fell soon made the Sacra mento magnate put on his outer garment and borrow an overcoat from a fan in the bleachers. When the Browns Jumped out In the third Inning and chased in another run, Mlquo abandoned his players with out comment and sought shelter and! Tefuge In the grandstand. Fisher knew, and eo did tho fans, that tho Browns had put enough toe-weights on Fitzgerald to anchor him and the rest was easy. Fred Ely had no intention of halving the grape fruit with Captain Graham, so he kept his Brown brigade at the Tads. They flayed bum ball, but Jake Thlelman kept shooting the leather down the alley so fast that the haze in its wake was like the Emoke in', a shooting gallery. While ho was doing this, the Senators were blngllng s rn tinges, but they counted for naught, 'because the Senators slipped around the diamond as If they were on greased rollers Instead of spiked brogans. TJhere was really nothing to the game but the Browns and from that second inning Sacramento stood about as much show of winning as an A'riian diamond hunter in search of a sparkler In the North Portland dump. They might as .well have tried to curry an elephant with a fine-tooth comb, or empty Columbia Slough with a tin cup, as try to beat Thlelman, especially when Fitzgerald was slipping the Browns curves to their liking. Only once during the whole engagement did a Tad get his hoof on third base. Tils came In the seventh and the locals, fearing that their lead was not good eneugh, with the aid of a single and errors by Townsend and Eagan, plied up four more runs. In this chapter Francis singled to left, and Buck Freeman was fiafe because Townsend failed to heel the , bag. Holllngsworth was safe on Bagan's fumble, and Townsend gave Catcher An derson his life when he tried to stop jwasan's toes-, with his ears. Eauan and Torrnsend'H Stnr Play. The star play came when Eagan whipped the ball straight on a line with the sun end Townsend ducke It and the Spauldlng hied Itself straight into the confines of the bleachers. A good, loyal fan saw It, but he waited until the bases -were cleared before he tossed the ball back Into the diamond. Even with the locals miles In the lead, the Sacramentos fought for the game. The idea of being whitewashed did not suit them and they tried hard to sneak in one run, but they failed and Fisher celebrated his defeat In the luxury cf an automobile ride. At first Mlque de clined to take the ride. He was afraid that. If his players saw him riding in the ' spark" car, a general touching committee would wait on him. The score: PORTLAND. , AB. R. H. PO.

BLOT UPON CIVILIZATION. Burke Cockran Sees None Other Than the Divorce Practice. NEW YORK, Oct 12. In an address before the Knights of Columbus, gathered in Carnegie Hall to celebrate the anni versary of America's discovery, W. Bourke Cockran reviewed the march of civilization, and declared the only blot to be seen at the present day is the divorce practice. The great private for tunes he considered to be of value to the Nation, while the labor problem, he said, Is- only a step in the march of progress. "There has been growth," he .said, "since the beginning of the world, prog ress Is the law of the universe, and the nations who came before this one, tho men who lived and accomplished things before Columbus, were simply the links in a chain which has not -yet been com pleted. When we know that this work Is all for mankind, then we can understand that his is a ' mission of commerce and religion, and that mission marked the dawn of Justice. "The present condition of society here Is full of promise. We have the greatest fortunes of the earth greater than Rome ever dared dream of and though philoso phers say that where wealth accumulates men decay, I eee no cause for despair. When a large fortune Is not gained by robbery, by fraud, or by the manipulation of the laws, then it can be but a boon to the Nation. My neighbor's prosperity increases my own and that of the earth. "Nor do modern fortunes tend to the in crease of luxury. On the contrary, men become more self-denying. I see no sign of decay in the human race here. "The labor question Is In process of solution, and- every row Is a step toward this. A laborer cannot get more pay than the value of his product, for then the product ceases tobe made. Nor can he get much less, because of the element of competition. The laborer of today Is not' a servant but a partner of his em ployer, and their good rests In a mutual understanding. "But the blot I see upon our civiliza tion is the Increasing number of divorces. In the ancient state the supreme impor tance of life was to Increase the impor tance of the state. Toay the end of life Is the Individual good. But the Individual good lies In the prosperity the family, and it is at this that the divorce strikes. If not checked it will destroy the family. "The remedy to this, as I see It is to realize that matrimony Is a state, not a contract and divorce must be stopped. Divorce strikes at the virtue of our wo men, and this virtue Is what preserves the state. Divorce is the one foul growth upon our soil, and upon its riddance de pends the fate of our future. "If we are to choose between divorce and polygamy, give us polygamy." Death of Missionary a Mistake. DELAWARE, O., Oct 12. Rev. T. F. Johnson, of this city, has. received word disproving the report that Rev. C. W. Kennedy, a young missionary from this city, had been killed by Boxers in China, Rev.

The local press displays little Interest In the United States and Japanese treaties, according to a Times' dispatch from Shanghai. The na tive merchants, who were hopeful when the British treaty negotiations were begun, do not now expect any practical benefits from the divided efforts of the foreign, powers to effect a radical reform of the Inland taxation of trade. As regards the opening of places in Man churia to foreign trade, native opinion Is general that so long as the Russian occupation Is maintained, the word "open ing" Is meaningless, and It Is unlikely that Chinese or American trade will derive any substantial advantages from tho treaty. Rnssian Papers Show Fear of War. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12. Significance Is attached here to the fact that the Offi cial Messenger and Journal de Petersburg print the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger's dis patch relating to the movement of the Russian fleet and the possible coincident landing of Russian and Japanese troops In different parts of Corea. Several news- papers publish reviews of Japan's mill- tary and naval strength. HALL PARK, NEW YORK. NOW FEAR WAR LESS (Continued from First Page.) Britain from her obligation to support her Japanese ally. Even Baron HayashI, who has heretofore ridiculed all rumors of war, Is not so optimistic today. Indirectly, ho. admits the possibility of war by expressing the hope that In the event of a crisis Japan will have the act ive sympathy of her ally, Great Britain. While refusing to credit the reports of an ultimatum having been delivered. Baron HayashI admitted the diplomatic situation had changed since October 8, and that complications may have arisen from the failure of the Russians to-fulflll their en gagements to evacuate Manchuria on that day. He, however, had heard nothing from his government on tho subject. Cheefoo, the source of the latest alarm ing news, is several hundred miles from Mashampho, so the reports of Japanese military movements there are likely to be a repetition of similar stories circulated last week, which later accounts mini mized. HINT OF A SECRET TREATY. . China Said to Have Agreed to Let Russia Remain in Manchuria. , VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct 12. The last steamer from the Orient brought the declaration that Prince Chlng, on behalf of the Dowager Empress of China, has' made a secret treaty with Russia, allow ing the latter to hold Manchuria for '15 years, after which three provinces are to be "returned to China without any con ditions attached thereto." The Tlen-Tsln press therefore says It "does not expect to see Manchuria freed from Russian rule until the millennium." Another secret conference, at which Russia and China arrived at an understanding, was held at White Cloud Temple, In Pekln. M. Les sar, Russian Minister, met LI Lien Ying, the Dowager Empress' favorite eunuch. TheTaoIst abbott of the temple, also a great favorite of tho Empress, was pres ent AMERICA CANNOT PROTEST. Her Interests In Manchuria Are Cov ered by the Late Treaty. WASHINGTON, Oct 12. Aside from receiving news of extensive military prep arations by both nations, the Japanese Legation here Is not advised that either Russia or Japan has as yet committed any act of war. The Japanese Minister is being kept constantly advised by ca blegrams from Toklo of the situation, and realizing its gravity, he Is moving with great caution. Tho negotiations be tween Russia and Japan, according to his advices, are still in progress, and there is hopo of a diplomatic settlement of the questions at Issue. The Minister today authorized the Associated Press to make the following statement: "His attention having been called to a certain unauthorized statement attributed to him that the nubile utterances of Jap anese people are all In favor of war with 1 Russia, Mr. Kogoro Takashira, the Jap anese Minister, states that while there Is some disquiet due to the unsettled state of affairs which has existed so long In the Far East, it seems it has been aggra vated more recently by the unfounded ru mors regarding military and naval move ments in certain quarters, but. In his Judgment the Intelligent section of the Japanese public has been generally calm ' and collected up to the present Juncture, j as they know the matter has been fori some time in tho hands of responsible -parties of Japan and Russia, and that ! they have been negotiating with a view of arriving at an understanding between them." For his own part, Mr. Takashira said, he hoped for the best, because, -while the situation Is not without indication of war, the Russian government is candidly, dis posed for a settlement of the question with Japan, and therefore, so long as the negotiations are proceeding with rea sonable prospect of a result honorable to Japan, there Is no reason to be over anxious now. "This is," said the Minister, "all that I can say at this moment" The representatives of this government in the capitals of Russia, Japan and CMna have not advised the State Department re garding recent developments and, rumors of war over Manchuria. As has often been pointed out the United States has no cause to protest because Russia has failed to keep her pledges that she would evacuate Man churia on October 8. The interest of the United States in Manchuria is covered by the recent treaty between China and this country. If Manchuria becomes an nexed to Russia or from any cause under Russian control, the United States will Insist that provisions of the treaty, be carried outj especially, as Russia assented From Harper's "Weekly. to Its provisions previous to It being signed. It Is believed here that an. understand lng exists between Germany and Russia in regard to operations In -Manchuria, and that no protest or even disapproval will be expressed by Germany over any course Russia may pursue In China. France Is apparently disinterested and Great Britain Is thought to be the only country that Is vitally Interested and opposed to the course of Russia In Man churia. It Is said that nothing has been re ceived here Indicating that an official an nouncement had been made by" the government that the treaty between Rus sia and China has -lapsed, but that It Is evident that It has lapsed, because the date for the evacuation of Manchuria has passed and the terms of the treaty have not been complied with and because the treaty would naturally .lapse In such an event -' RUSSIAN SOLDIERS COMING. Large Number Are on Their "Way to the Far East by Rail. LONDON, Oct 13. A dispatch from Moscow to the Times dated October 10 states that a large force of Russian troops, under orders for the far East, are now on their way thither by rail from Karkoff. The Russian correspondents of the same paper send quotations from newspaper articles pointing to Russia's intention to remain In occupation of Man churia, and add that It Is reported from Vladivostock that as a result of famine In China, roving bands of Chinese have crossed into Manchuria, where their presr ence constitutes a danger to the Man churlan railway and this necessitates keeping Russian troops in Southern Man churia for an indefinite period. Diplomat Says There Is No Tension. Paris, Oct 13. The Figaro this morn ing publishes an Interview with M. Ku rlno, the Japanese Minister here, on the subject of tho dispatch to the Frankfurter Zeltung from Stanghai to the effect that Japanese have occiipled Mashampho and that an official declaration of war Is ex pected. M. Kurino said the source of the dispatch was suspicious, as Shanghai was notoriously the originating point of bogus news. Ho personally had not received any confirmation of the report He con tinued: "Moreover, my government's last com munications were wholly pacific For the present at least, our diplomatic relations with Russia are cordial and no tension ex ists between the two governments what ever certain foreign newspapers may say. I am inclined to think that tho dispatch was a speculative maneuver." Russian Embnssy Not Alarmed. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. At the Rus sian Embassy the officials are not alarmed over the situation in the far East The view held there is that neither Russia nor Japan desires war, though both may be making preparations to that end, and there- is really no question at Issue which cannot be settled without recourse to arms provided the negotiating parties are disposed to use diplomacy rather than the sword. The Embassy has received no advices from St Petersburg for more than two weeks. Japanese Fishermen Seized. VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 12. Japan has been incensed at the seizure of nearly 700 fishermen by Russian men-of-war on a charge of poaching. First 11 vessels wlti 278 men were captured and taken to Vladi vostok. A few days later 19 more vessels and 400 men were captured. Most of the 'fishermen were quickly released and sent back to .Japan at Russia's expense. Twenty-eight were tried, -but owing to direct Influence of Admiral Alexleff were speedily acquitted. Germany Believes Crisis at Hand. BERLIN, Oct. 12. The relations between Japan and Russia have reached a crisis,, according to the official view here. The exact nature of the diplomatic exchanges between the two governments that brought out the present tensity appear to be unknown at the legations of the two countries here or at the German Legations at St Petersburg and Toklo, although It is understood that Great Britain Is privy to Japan's movements. Japan Approves War Appointment. LONDON, Oct 13. The Toklo corre spondent of the Times telegraphs that the appointment of General Kodama as chief assistant to the military staff Is regarded with universal satisfaction at this criti cal period. Russian Ships Bound for China. PORT SAID. Egypt, Oct 12. The Rus sian battleship Czarowltch and the Rus sian armored cruiser Baltan arrived hero today bound for Chinese waters. The Czarowltch proceeded today; Time seems most unlinielv when he brings a woman to the rum of life.
