THE MOBNING OBESONrAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1901.
MR. MAHAFFEY DID IT
SPOKANE TEAM FINDS HIM A VERY
' ' EASY MARK.
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:

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:

TYPICAL COLLEGE GAME.
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. The score:

Kiel Regatta Opens.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Since the present serious condition of
affairs In Southwest Texas between ban
dits and the authorities began six men
have been killed three American officers
and three Mexicans six wounded, all
Mexicans, one being a woman, and nine
captured. The casualties have been as
follows:
June 12 Sheriff W. T. Morris, of Karnes
County, in attempting to arrest Mexicans
charged with horse-stealing, was killed,
and one of his assailants wounded.
June 14 In attempting to arrest the
alleged slayers of Sheriff Morris, In Gon
zales County, Sheriff R. M. Grover and
Constable Henry Schnabel were killed
and three Mexicans wounded.
June 15 At Ottlne one Mexican was
killed while resisting arrest.
June 16 A Mexican was killed at Bel
mont and another wounded while resist
ing,, arrest.
Jun0 17 A party of rangers under Lieu
tenant Sanders, near Benavldes, In a run
ning fight, killed one Mexican, wounded
another and captured a third.
GONZALES, Tex., June 20. A telegram
was. xecelved here today from San Diego
stating that neither the Mexican cap
tured nor the one killed by the rangers
at that place was the man wanted in this
county for the murder of Sheriff Glover.
Cortez may be the one who escaped, and
the man who killed the Sheriff may yet
be In this locality. A report sent out that
several Americans in this country have
been killed and one hanged to avenge the
death of Sheriff Glover Is untrue.
BAD FOR JESSIE MORRISON.
Thus Far the Trial Has Been Against
Her.
ELDORADO. Kan., June 20. Thus far
the second trial of Jessie Morrison, on the
charge of murder, Is very much against
her. The defense has not introduced evi
dence of any consequence to support Its
claim of self-defense. What Is considered
a very Important point was gained by the
state this morning in the refusal of Judge
Aiken to admit as evidence the clothing
worn by Jessie Morrison on the day that
she gave the mortal wounds to Clara
Castle. This clothing is cut and blood
stained. Miss Morrison was In tears frequently
this morning. Her old father, her step
mother and brothers were on the stand
and while they testified the prisoner often
wiped her eyes. She- took the stand in
the afternoon In her own defense, and in
reciting the story of her fight with Mrs.
Castle, broke down and -wept. She said
she was going from her home to that ot
a friend when Mrs. Castle rapped on the
window and called her In. Mrs. Castle.
Miss Morrison declared, accused her of
running after her husband. Finally Mrs.
Castle had called her a liar and struck
at her throat with a razor, cutting her
on the breast and arms. They struggled
and fell "to the floor. Then Miss Mor
rison got possession of the razor.
"What happened then?" asked her at
torney. "Well," said Miss Morrison, tears com
ing to her eyes, "then I cut her with the
razor."

the Judge's charge. Today Mr. 'Keller
was once more upon the stand. His de
nials of the allegations of Mr. and Mrs.
Barker were spoken In a loud, firm tone,
and when asked if the alleged outrage was
the reason for Mrs. Barker leaving the
church, he shouted out the "no" so that
it rang through the courtroom and corri
dors. His denials generally were strong,
positive and absolute. It was a hard
day for Mrs. Barker, for neighbor aftter
neighbor went on the stand and swore
that her reputation for truth and veracity
was bad The battle of the insanity ex
perts was the third featJUre of the day.

THE POWER OF PRAYER.
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.
