BnncIigr'rasK Aggregation Defeats the Home Team by n Score ot O to 4 Anderson's Hitting. Mahaffey was responsible for it. He essayed to pitch yesterday's game for Portland, whereupon the Spokane aggre gation smote him hip and thigh, winning . the game in the presence of a dazzling sea of shirt waists, which "ladles' day" had ' brought! out. At the end of the game the score was 6 to 4 In favor of the vis itors, and Portland's proud banner wa& trailing in the dust. It happened as follows: In the fourth Loughead was the first man up for Spo kane, and he flew out. Marshall knocked out a single. Bottenus followed w It'll a hit to right, which Grim, who was playing first, failed to handle. Bottenus was safe, and Marshall got to third. Stulz made a hit and scored Marshall. Risley made a short hit to second, and got first while Stulz was thrown out at second. Hurlburt made a hit. scoring Bottenus, and Swindells followed with another, which brought Risley home. "Wilner flew out. In the fifth inning Donahue made a single and was sacrificed to second by Loughead. Marshall made a two-bagger and Donahue came home. Bottenus made a single, and got second on a bad throw of Vigneux, which also scored Marshall. Stulz and Risley flew out. By, this time Manager Grim concluded that Mahaffey needed a rest, and Engel was put in the box. He did noticeably better, but In the seventh inning Spo kane made another run. Donahue made a single, and stole second. Loughead flew out to Muller, and Marshall, the hereto fore invincible, struck out. Bottenus knocked a two-bagger, and scored Loughead. Stulz was put out at first. Portland's first two runs were made In the second inning. Brown got his bass on balls, and Deisel sacrificed Jiim to sec ond. Grim lined out a two-base hit, and Brown came home. Mahaffey made a single, and got second on a passed ball. Grim scoring at the same time. Muller and Vigneux struck out. In the seventh inning, Engel, who had just relieved Mahaffey, made a two-basse hit. Muller and Vigneux went out on foul flies, and Anderson knocked a two-bagger, scoring Engel. Weed followed with an other two-bagger, and Anderson got In. Tinker got his base on balls, and Brown flew out. Thus endeth the story of the run-making. One" of the features of the game was the terrific batting of Anderson. He made four hits, one every time he was ud, and two of them were two-baggers. Muller made a running catch of a long fly out in left field that won him the plaudits of the bleachers. The attendance was about 25w. Following Is the score: SPOKANE. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

TACOMA DEFEATED SEATTLE. Only St. Train's Wlldness Allowed the Visitors to Score. TACOMA, Wash., June 20. St. Vraln was wild in the first three innings today, but after that he settled down and the chance fhat Seattle had of winning was gone. He was not hit hard, and the vis itors only scored as a result of his wild , ness, which. In the third Inning, filled the bases, with none out. Some clever base running helped Tacoma to win, for th& Tigers kept going after reaching the first corner, but each of Seattle's errors was costly. McCarthy's heavy hitting was a feature. He drew three clean two-base hits out of four times up, and scored on them twice, once on two outs, and the second time on Mclntyre's single. The game was called for 15 minutes during the third Inning on account of rain. A cold wind and occasional showers kept the attendance down to GOO. The score: TACOMA. R. H. PO. A. E.

Harvard Beat Yale by a Score of 7 to 3. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 20. Over 6000 Harvard supporters on Soldiers' .Field this afternoon cheered seven champions of the crimson around the four bags, while about 1000 equally loyal and almost as noisy adherents of Yale only succeeded in urg ing three wearers of the blue across the home plate. The seven Harvard runs were due primarily to the ability of Frantz, Stlllman and Wendell to hit, but Cook, the Yale pitcher, puzzled nearly all the rest of the crimson players. On the other hand, Clarkson, for Harvard, was even more successful In mystifying the Yale men, with the excepfion of Waddell, Wlnslow and Robertson, and, being backed up in the field with almost perfect fleld- L lng, kept his head to the task. The game ended with two Yale men on bases. The crowd was enthusiastic and musical, the little Yale cluster behind third base bringing out a larger repertoire of college songs than some 2000 Harvard students massed on the opposite side of the field) Behind the home plate, In the grand stand, brilliant In color, the besf girls, chaperons and graduates cheered wildly and joined In the singing. It was a typ ical college game. Clarkson was much more effective than Cook at critical periods of the game, es pecially In the last two innings, when Yale seamed to have fathomed his pitch ing, and had men on bases. In the eighth, after two men had scored, he struck out two others. The best and fiercest hitting of the game was by Frantz, the Harvard first baseman, who banged out a triple, a home run and a single. Wendell also made three hits, one of which scored Clarkson.

KIEL, June 20. The Kiel regatta opened today with fair weather and a light wind. Emperor William's sloop yacht Samoa II was fourth in the contest for the City of Kiel cup. Twenty yachts took part In the races. Among these were the French yacht Arcachon, the English yacht Cis and the Danish yachf Navanna. Regatta week In Kiel this year will be more In teresting than It was In 1900, because the Emperor of Germany will also attend the racing. Ninety-four vessels are now present at Kiel for the regatta, and 22 sailing clubs are represented. The ar rival of Mrs. Robert Goelet on her yacht Nahma created a sensation, as the Goelets were wholly unexpected at Kiel. Much Interest was manifested when Mrs. Goelet entered her small boat, the Mlspe Kama, for the Emperor William prize contest, notwithstanding the fact that according to the governing rules it was too late for such an entry. AMERICANS AT HENLEY PENNSYLVANIA OARSMEN BEGIN THEIR PRACTICE. Created a Favorable Impression by Their Work Other Sporting: News. HENLEY, Eng., June 20. The oarsmen from the University of Pennsylvania were up early this morning. They are all delighted with their quarters at the Five Horse Shoes Inn, a rustic hostelry situated in a picturesque spot. They took a spin to the starting point with the stream and back to their headquarters. Rowing 30 to 32 strokes to the minute, they covered the regular regatta course in IVi minutes. The crew created a fa vorable impression. Returning against the wind and 'stream, they hit up the stroke to 38, moving well but sitting un steadily. The Pennsylvanians concluded their sec ond spin at 6:15 P. M., in a heavy rain. The comments of the spectators were friendly, and favorable to the crew, which showed improvement over the form of the morning. TRY-OUTS AT HARLEM. Good Work Done by Derby Candi dates Lady Schorr Pulled Up Lame. CHICAGO, June 20. His Eminence won the first "try-out" at the Washington Park track this year. It was the sensa tional feature of the day and made many friends for the Mackay colt. Odom was up during the trial, carrying 127 pounds, the same the horse will carry for the great race. Every pne of the horses trled out today showed evidence of speed in reserve, and predictions of wonderful time arc made If the track is as fast Saturday as now. Lady Schorr, one of the most promising candidates for the American Derby to be run Saturday, pulled up very lame after a work-out, and for a time It was reported she was hopelessly broken down, and would not start. Late this evening, how. ever. Trainer Walker said he believed the lameness was not sufficient to keep the filly from going to the post. Bonnlbert, Terminus, Beau Gallant and Alfonso were worked the full distance. His Eminence's time was the best, 2:35, but Bonnlbert worked only a half-second slower. Beau Gallant Is reported to have carried. 140 pounds, and his time was 2:36. Races at Detroit. DETROIT, Mich., June 20.

Foxhall Keene's Olympian (Henry) won the new Biennial stakes for 2 and 3-year-olds. Shamrock's New Mast Stepped. . GLASGOW, June 20. The Shamrock IPs new mast was stepped today. The new spar consists of a hollow steel pole, 160 feet? long, built In a single piece from step to truck. It is the first spar of its kind ever made. The advantage Is claimed for the new mast that it saves top weight and also presents a smaller wind surface. It permits of dispensing with gear for the hoisting and lowering of the topmast, and It Is believed that a single spar can be braced more rigidly than a spliced telescopic mast. The chief disadvantage of the single-piece pole lies In the impos sibility o housing the topmast during heavy weather. In this 'respect It Is pointed out that this maneuver has been resorted to but once In the history of the cup races. Sir Thomas Llpton and Mr. Watson "were present when the mast was stepped. The challenger's sails are due to arrive next Monday, and the yacht will take her first spin under the new canvas Thursday. Bicycle Races at Bordeaux. BORDEAUX, June 20. Prevost and Grogna on a tandem, defeated Major Taylor in two heats here today. Will Claim Championship for Ruhlln. NEW YORK, June 20. -Billy Madden, manager of Gus Ruhlln, declared that he has waited long enough on Jeffries, and If the Californlan does not agree to a match at a very early date he will claim the world's championship for the Akron Giant. He will then, hf' says, arrange a fight with the next best man, and will let i Jeffries go. FATE OF THE TROPICS. Especially as Regards the Matter of Snsnr Production. New York Journal of Commerce. No radical change In commercial geog raphy has occurred since exploration add ed a Western Hemisphere, and a South ern temperate, zone until at the present time the extension of the culture of the 6Ugar beet Is transferring to Northern lat itudes one of the few staple products of the tropics, susar. The chemical labor atory has"' already robbed the tropics of one of Its smaller monopolies, and the Government of India Is trying to find something to substitute for Indigo. But more than anything else in modern times sugar has conferred wealth upon the tropics. The tropical colonies of Eng land and Spain, France and Holland have supplied the world with Its entire supply of what, originally a luxury, has long been one of the prime necessities. Not only Is the seat of the sugar in dustry being removed to the northern part of the temperate zone, but the pro duction Is growing so fast that even the beet-sugar-growers are contemplating the probability of an over-supply with appre hension. In the year 1892-93 five European countries produced 3,181,968 v tons, and In the past year they produced 5,365.400 tons. In the earlier year they exported 1,600.626 tons, and In 1S99-1900 th'ey exported 2,693, 3S5 tons. In both years? theexport was about half the production. For the ex ports there are only two large consumers, this country and England;, This country has a cane sugar district, and l't Is likely In the future to develop cane f ugar In Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba, and It has made a start In the production of beet sugar, of which Its capacity Is probably enormous. The situation of the tropics Is. shown by the following table of "cane and Deet-sugar production of date eight years apart: 182-3. 1900-1 Cane, tons 3,040,486 3,349,500 Beet, ions 3,4:S.515 6,036,000 Total 6,469,001 9,385,500 The Increase of production was nearly 50 per cent, and It was almost exclusively In beet sugar. The consumption has In creased fast In three countries; In others it is rather small and increasing slowly. In Ftanqe It is a little larger than In Ger many, but the rate of Increase Is slower. The amount of consumption Is mainly a mater of price. Continental nations cannot cheapen 6usrar much while they f?nrlvi an Imnnrforit rini-f nt tVioIr rv. enues from It, and In England, where the consumption has outrun that In all other countries, the Government is about to check the consumption by imposing a tax on sugar. England, which has re lieved sugar from taxation and has ac cepted cheerfully all cheapening of it accomplished by the payment of bounties on exports by Continental countries, has run the per capita consumption up to 91.81 pounds. After a long Interval comes the United States, with a consumption of 61.7 two years ago, which was nearly double the consumption of 30 years ago, and 50 per cent more than that of 20 years ago. After another long Interval we come to France, with a per capita consumption of 36.95 pounds, Germany, 33.90, an Increase of about 10 pounds In 10 years; Belgium, 23.30; Austria-Hungary, 17.64, and Russia, 13.95. The future of sugar will be governed by the cost of production, which can be very materially reduced. The profits of rais ing sugar beet are now several times those of raising other staple crops. This cannot last Indefinitely; with the expan sion of the cultivation the farmers will have to take less for beets and the manu facturers will sell their sugar at lower prices. This, will enhance the difficulties of the tropics In sustaining the cane sugar Industry, but that industry is doomed already unless there Is a radical change in its methods. Such a change fs lnprogress. The ascendancy of the sugar beet Is due to the application of capital and scientific knowledge. These are being applied to sugar cane. More productive varieties of cane will be pro duced, more cane to the acre will be raised, methods of extraction and evap oration will be Improved, and the last traces of tropical business habits and the industrial methods which prevailed in the period of slavery will have to be elim inated. In the British West Indies and In Queensland enough has been done to prove that this Is possible. Under fa vorable circumstances It Is still believed that cane sugar can be produced more cheaply than beet sugar, but In order to survive the cane sugar Industry will have t adopt the methods of the temperate zone, and the producers In the temper ate zone will have to content themselves with average rates of profit, and the price of beet sugar land will have to adjust Itself to the price of other'land. The pro duction of sugar will not afford princely fortunes either North or South. If Con tinental nations will stop paying bounties the production of sugar beets will Increase more gradually than during the past 10 years. English Robbers. Gentleman's Magazine. Speaking of the early Plahtagenet pe riod, Mr Henry, In his "History of Great Britain," remarks that the number of robbers was so great that the Judges could not prevail upon the juries to find any of them guilty. Even under the more rigorous adminis tration of Edward III a numerous band of them assailed the town of Boston In 1275 at the time of the fair, set It on fire, and carried off an Immense booty In money and goods. Their leader, one Rob ert Chamberlain, a gentleman of great power and wealth, was taken, tried and executed; but he could not be prevailed upon to discover any of his accomplices. As the other robbers of this period were very numerous, so some of them were very cruel, and the character which one of their chiefs wore embroidered upon his coat In letters of silver might be applied to many others: "I am Captain Warner, commander of a troop of robbers, an ene my to God, without pity and without re morse." (Henry's ''History of Great Brit ain," Book lv. Chapter 7.) Robbery continued to prevail without In termission until the present century. The boldness and daring with which it was carried on, sometimes In the very center of the city, and even in the daytime, ap pears to be incredible, and persons of the very highest rank were molested. Thus George III and the Duke of York, when very young men, were once stopped and robbed on Hay Hill, Berkeley Square. To cro.ss Hounslow Heath or Flnchley Com mon after sunset was an enterprise of great danger. Those who ventured were always well armed, and some few had even ball-proof carriages. There Is a house still standing at Finch ley, which In those days was a well known rendezvous for highwaymen. (The "Original," page 41, by Mr. Walker, a metropolitan Police Magistrate.) Horace Walpole, In one of his letters to the Coun tess of Ossory (1781) relates how he was robbed before 7 In the evening and with in 20 yards of the house of the Duchess of Montrose. Babcock Has a Future. Milwaukee Journal. If Congressman Babcock's nerve holds out he may win a very high place in poli tics. He is a very short-sighted Indi vidual who does not see that the day of a prohibitory tariff has gone by, and that all this talk about reciprocity will leave very few protectionists of the old kind among the Republicans. If Mr. Babcock can get himself Into a position where the opposition to freer trade cen ters the fight on him he will find him self a bigger man than he or his friends ever thought possible. The Honorable Joe appears to be In luck. Dyspepsia causes its victims to live In misery. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures dyspepsia. TRACKED TO A THICKET CORTEZ, THE. TEXAS, MURDERER, NEARLY RUN DOWN. Pursuing Party 'Was in Sight of Him Just Before Dark Bloodltoands Sent to the Scene. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 20. A spe cial from Cotulla says Gregarlo Cortez, the alleged slayer of Sheriffs Morris and Glover, Is now within a few miles of Co tulla, but has not yet been captured. Deputy Sheriff Maltberger and W. C. Campbell struck his trail about five miles from Cotulla this morning and followed him where he had cut several wire fences. Blood stains showed that Cortez' horse was about exhausted and unable to Jump. About 10 o'clock the pursuing party found the little brown mare that Cortez had been riding. She was badly fagged. Cortez' trail then led Into a dense thicket covering hundreds of acres, where he Is supposed to be hiding. A large posse, headed by Sheriff Avant, arrived here thfs afternoon by train and left for this thicket. Strong hopes are entertained for the speedy capture of Cortez. The horse found Is undoubtedly the one ridden by Cortez, who came near Tllden, through the Dull. Trvln O'Pnnnor anil Tnhntnn ranches, cutting fences as he fled. The posse was In sight of him once just be fore dark, but he escaped. His clothing is In tatters, and he has thrown away his rifle, retaining only his pistols. An additional posse of 20 men left San Antonio by special train tonight to aid in searching the thicket. The party goes heavily armed, and carries bloodhounds to send Into the thicket.

All the Infinite Rcionrces Are at the Believer's Command. R. A. Torry. In "How to Obtain the Fulness of Power." Many professed Christians confessedly do not believe In the power of prayer. It is quite the fashion with some to con temptuously contrast the prayers with the doers forgetting that in the history of the church the real doers have been prayers; that the men who have made the glorious past of the church's history have been, without exception, men of prayer. Or those who do believe theoretically In the power of prayer, not one In a thousand re alizes its power. How much time does the average Christian spend dally In prayer? How much time do you spend dally In prayer? It was a master stroke of the devil when he got the church and the ministry so generally to lay aside the mighty weapon of prayer. The devil is perfectly willing that the church should multiply its organizations and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying. He laughs softly, as he looks at the church of today, and says under his breath: "You can have your Sunday Schools, and your Y. M. C. A.'s. and your Y.. W. C. A.'s. and your Y. P. S. C. E.'s, and your B. W. P- W.'s, and your Epworth Leagues, and your W. C. T. U 's. and your Boys' Brigades, and your Insti tutional churches, and your men's clubs, and your grand choirs, and your fine or gans, and your brilliant preachers, and your revival efforts, even, if you do not bring Into them the power of Almighty God, sought and obtained by earnest, per sistent believing, mighty prayer." The' devil Is not afraid of machinery; he tef only afraid of God; and machinery with out prayer Is machinery without God. Ouri day is characterized by the multiplica tion of man's machinery and the diminu tion of God's pow.er sought and obtained by prayer. But when men and women, arise who believe In prayer, and whoj pray in the way the Bible teaches ub to pray, prayer accomplishes as much as ever it did. Prayer can do today as much! as ever it did. Prayer can do anything God can do; for the arm. of God responds' to the touch of prayer. All the infinite resources of God are at the command of prayer. , . : Opening for Organized Labor.
