THE MOBNING OREGONTAN, FRIDAY. JUNE 28, 1901.
BY A SCORE OF 10 TO 1
TIGERS DID NOT DO A THING
PORTLAND.
TO
Engel Touched Up for a Total of
Fourteen Hits Steady Work by
Carter Supported by Tacoma.
TACOMA, June 27. The Tigers to-.day
.took sweet Tevenge for all the hard things
Portland nad done to them In the pre
ceding eight games In which the two
teams have met. There wis not'anythlng
In Engel's repertoire that was particu
larly deceiving, and he was touched up
for a total of fourteen hits, netting a
total of 10 runs. The visitors could not.
do much with Carter, who kept the hits
scattered at all times, save in the eighth
inning, when two hits and an out scored
Engel with Portland's only run.
Twice Portland had men at second and
third with none out, but Carter's steady
work prevented a score. The Tigers gave
Carter perfect support, and ran bases
better than the team has ever done be
fore. Twice a clever by-play at second
netted a stolen base, and once the play
resulted In a run-in from third. The bit
ting of Thlelman and McCarthy was a
feature. McCarthy's were all clean sin
gles, but Thlelman, with one man at third,
dropped a home run over the back fence,
and again, while the bases were occupied,
he drew a two-bagger. His third hit was
a single. It rained during the morning,
and the pitcher's and batters boxes were
very muddy. A high wind with threat
ening weather kept the crowd down to
S0O. The score:

PITCHERS' BATTLE AT SPOKANE.
Seattle "Won From the Home Team
by a Score of 3 to 2.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 27. Today's
game was a pitchers' battle, In which
Stovall was hit the steadier at? critical
points. Seattle seemed to have all the
luck, as many of the Blues hard drives
went straight at fielders. The features
of the game were the one-handed stop by
RIsley and Rockenfleld's third-base play.
Rockenfield's sensational dive and stab
of a line drive by Donahue saved the
game for Seattle. Hurley's hand was
split by a screamer from Loughead's bat.
He continued playing but will probably
be out of the game the rest of the series.

In all events shot at the traps today
in the tournament of the Spuortsmen's
Association of the Northwest, with the

to the length of the contests, and the num
ber of shooters, it was impossible to fin
ish the programme and the individual

tomorrow morning. The Brownlee trophy
shoot was also continued. W. F. Sheard,
of Tacoma, won the Globe trophy after
shooting off a tie with T. B. Ware, of

But Little Prnctice at Henley.
HENLEY, England, June 27. The hot
weather prevailing here is curtailing the
severe work of the crews which are to
take part in the regatta. The Pennsyl
vania University crew went over the full
course today, but little more than pad
dled, taking seven minutes and 40 seconds
to cover the distance, one mile and 550
yards.
The Daily News, in an editorial dis
cussing foreign encroachments upon
British supremacy in the various forms
of sport, expresses the fear that the
grand challenge cup may be carried
away from Henley by either an Ameri
can or Belgian crew, and argues that,
with the very best disposition toward
all foreign sportsmen, Henley ought to
be excepted from the risk of losing the
cup.

FROM PARIS TO BERLIN
THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE
RACE UNDER WAY.
First Stage of the Contest Won by
Tournier, "Who Averaged F.orty-
Flve Miles Exclusive of Stops.
PARIS, June 27. The keenest Interest Is
taken here In the automobile race between
Paris and Berlin, which started early this
morning from the crossroads of the vil
lage of Champigny, 12 miles cast of Paris.
This starting place was chosen because
Champigny Is secluded, thus enabling the
auto cars to start at full speed, which
would be impossible were the start made
from Paris. One hundred and flfty-flvc
automobiles entered the contest, and the
vast majority of them are French ma
chines. There are several machines of
German and "three of English make.
The most Interesting competitor in the
race from the American point of view is"
Foxhall Keene. who drives a French auto
mobile of the heavy class of 28 horsepower
and weighing 1600 kilograms. Mr. Keene
is accompanied by an engineer, .but he
Intends to work his car himself.
The entries consist of 53 heavy and 63
lighter automobiles. 21 light verturettes
and 16 motor cycles. The first day's run
will be 455 kilometers and 800 meters to
Alx-la-Chapelle; the second day's run will
be to Hanover, a distance of 445 kilomet
,ers and 200 meters, and tne third day the
contestants will have to cover 297 kilo
meters and 600 meters to Berlin, where
a great reception awaits them.
There was a weird scene early this
morning beneath Fort Champigny, when
the racing automobiles began gathering
soon after 2 o'clock, at the crossroads,
where they were marshalled In a line at
the roadside. Each machine came up at
a good rate of speed and then took up
its place in the line. The racers waited
until half past 3, when the starter gave
the word, "No. 1 start." The automobile
numbered 1 immediately went to the front
and quickly assumed its racing speed and
disappc- -d. Two minutes later automo
bile No. 2 was started In the same man
ner. Arrangementa had been made thut
the automobiles leave at two-minute in
tervals. Owing to the number of competi
tors, the start thus lasted about five
hours.
From midnight on until the early morn
ing hours a stream of bicyclists and au
tomobiles marked the road from Paris to
Fort Champigny.. It was a picturesque
sight, ..te crossroads ot Champigny,
where hundreds of bicycles and automo
biles were assembled, were illuminated
with Chinese lanterns, while every few
minutes a racing car would dash up and
take the position allotted, being soon lost
to view. Later, when the bright sunshine
put in an appearance, the auto cars de
parted, with even greater speed, and were
soon enveloped In dust.
At the starting place at the cross roads
of the village of Champigny by 3:30 A. M.,
the hour when the first automobile was
started, a-t least 2000 enthusiasts had gath
ered, many being scattered along the road
toward Berlin. The first few racers left
before the break of day, losing little time
In covering the first 200 yards. The cloud
of dust which alone could be seen whirl
ing across the plateau of Champigny re
sembled nothing so much as the smoke of
an express engine. The racing cars were
mere machines of Iron and steel and no
pretense was made for comfort of drivers
or engineers. They carried little or noth.
Ing except spare tires and cans of petro
leum. The arrangements were carried out
like clock work,. There were about 30
persons who had entered who did not
start, among them the American artist
Dannatt. Many cheers were given as the
automobiles made their departure. There
was only one woman competitor, a hand
some French woman named Gast, who
was attired in a smartly made water
proof costume.
Foxhall Keene got away at 7 o'clock. He
wore a blue serge suit, covered, with a
rubber jacket and a gray cloth cap.
"I do not expect to win," said Mr.
Keene to the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press as he went to the starting
line, "but I am going far the sport of the
thing. I never participated in a race of
this kind before. My auto cart Is new. 1
drove it for the first time Tuesday and I
find the tension Is terrible. My car ought
to go 85 kilometers an hour, so apparent
ly, I stand a fair chance In the race, but
I shall not get the best speed out of it as
I have not had sufficient experience with
It. These French crack chaffeurs will
probably beat me two hours during the
first day's run. Nevertheless I mean to do
my best and win if possible."
Fournier orrlved in Alx-La-Chapelle at
2:30 P. M., ahead of all competitors. This
place was the end of the first day's run,
2S3 miles. Fournier averaged 45 miles an
hour, exclusive of stops. A tire on Fox
hall Keene's carriage burst while the ma
chine was leaving Bastogne, In Belgium.
Mr. Keene was thrown Into a potato field,
but was not seriously hurt.
At Rhelms, M. Brazier's automobile
killed a 12-year-old child.

SAIL STRETCHING SPIN.
Shamrock II Again Begins
Her
Trlnls Races at Glasgow.
GLASGOW, June 27. The cup challenger
took a sail-stretching spin today while the
former challenger, the Shamrock I, and
the Kariad were sailing a match race
of 43 miles. It was an Ideal day for the
purpose. The challenger carried only her
lower canvas. Captain Sycamore seemed
to avoid anything In the nature of a trial
of speed, but during a couple of tacks
the challenger found herself going In the
same direction as the Kariad and over
hauled the latter in a remarkable man
ner. The new main sail of the Shamrock
II set to perfection. Her Immense pole
mast, when clothed, has a most imposing
aprcarance. The Shamrock I won by
30 minutes and 18 seconds. Herreschoft's
Navada beat her rival, the Tutty, by 12
minutes and 40 seconds.
Shamrock II is expected to arrive

NEW KIND OF LIFE RAFT.
Being Provided to the "Warships by
the Navy Department.
NEW YORK. June 27. The Navy De
partment is providing tsome of the war
ships with a new life raft, says a Wash
ington special to the World. It consists
of an elliptical copper tube, somewhat
'flattened, with airtight compartments,
strengthened by fins. The tube Is Incased
in cork, wound with canvas and made
absolutely watertight. Attached to this
float Is a rope-netting three feet deep,
from which is suspended a wooden-slatted
bottom. The netting is suspended on the
inner side of the float from rings which
travel on lashings, so that the bottom
rests In the proper position no matter
which side of the float falls upon the
water when It la thrown overboard. It
does not require to be rlKhted, adjusted
or turned about; It Is ready for service
the moment it strikes the water. Oars
are attached to the sides of the float to
propel it when It is opened. Enough per

GU1LTY-0F MANSLAUGHTER
RESULT
OF JESSIE MORRISON'S
SECOND TRIAL.
The Penalty Is From Three to Five
Years' Imprisonment in the
Penitentiary.
ELDORADO, Kan., June 27. Jessie Mor
rison was found guilty of manslaughter
In the second degree late this afternoon
for the murder of Mrs. Olln Castle. The
penalty is not more than five years or
less than three years In. the penitentiary.
One of Miss Morrison's lawyers imme
diately filed a notice of appeal. Jessie
Morrison was taken to her old cell In th
county jail and locked In. The jury
wrangled for nearly SO hours over the
verdict. It is said that one juror held
out obstinately for acquittal.
Miss Morrison was tried twice for the
murder of Mrs. Clara Wiley Castle. Jes
sie Morrison and Clara Wiley loved young
Olln Castle. Castle and Miss Morrison
were clerks together In a local store. Mr.
Castle and Miss Wiley were married June
13. 1900. Eight days later the bride was
cut with a razor by Miss Morrison. The
Wileys, the Morrisons and the Castles
are all leading families In Butler County.
The bride of eight days ilved but 18 days
after. Although she could not speak, she
had strength to write a statement accus
ing Jessie Morrison and afterwards a note
of forgiveness to Jessie Morrison. Miss
Morrison was also wounded. The .theory
of the prosecution was that the wounds
were self-inflicted, and the defense took
the position that Miss Morrison fought in
self-defense. Miss Morrison's story was
that she was passing the home of Mr. and
Mr. Castle, when Mrs. Castle called to her
to come In. She did so. What happened
In the house Is only known by the re
sults. Mrs. Castle was found fatally
wounded. Miss Morrison swore Mrs. Cas
tle tried to kill her; that she took the
razor from her and used it in self-defense.

Kansas Farmer's Home Fired and
His Wife Fatally Burned.
TOPEKA, Kan., June 27. Horribly
burned and dying in intense agony was the
fate of Mts. W. C. Carlson, wife of a
Cowley County farmer, because her hus
band refused to deposit $5000 In a place
named by unknown blackmailers. Three
weeks ago Carlson, who Is wealthy, re
ceived an anonymous note requesting him
to bury 55000 at the foot of a certain tel
ephone pole, under penalty of having his
house burned. The suggestion was Ig
nored. One week later another anonymous
note was received stating that if $5000 was
not deposited within a week his house
would be burned and he would be killed.
No attention was paid to the second
communication, and Saturday night, while
Mr. Carlson was en route to Medford for
mall, (he home was fired. Mrs. Carlson
was found about 10 feet from the ruins by
Mr. Dunn, a neighbor, horribly burned
and Insensible, She was taken home by
Mr. Dunn, and rallied enough before dy
ing Sunday to relate her knowledge of
the crime. She rushed outside when she
discovered the fire, but remembered some
valuable papers and a treasured old violin,
and tried to save them. From that mo
ment her mind was a blank until she
awoke in the home of Mr. Dunn.

England and Sea Power.
Contemporary Review.
Uninterruptedly for more than 200 years
we have held the command of the sea.
after having wrested It from Spain and
Holland, and owing to the command of
the sea we have been able to build up
our magnificent empire. But it would be
rash to conclude therefrom that we shall
always continue to hold the command of
the sea. The command of the sea has
been wrested in turn from all the great
commercial nations of the past by abler
nations, which succeeded them. It has
been wrested from Phonecla, Carthage,
Spain and Holland by nations able In
commerce and trade, This Is only natural,
for naval supremacy rests in the last in
stance on the broad basis of commercial
prosperity. A nation of energetic lands
men can soon acquire seamanship through
the creation of a successful merchant ma
rine, which provides the necessary school
ing for naval war. .This has been shown
by many historical instances and by the
recent and rapid success of Germany as
a naval power. Germany has created
within 30 years a most successful mer
chant marine and an imposing, well-managed
and ably handled fleet. Ah army
may be Improvised In case of war, but a
navy cannot be Improvised. Naval su
premacy once destroyed Is, as history
shows, destroyed forever. The gradual or
sudden loss of our naval supremacy
would be accompanied by the gradual de
cline or the sudden fall of our empire.
At the present time English, American
and German seamanship are of equally
high standing. Mechanical skill being
about equal In England, the United States
and Germany, the naval material of these
three countries, as ships, armor, guns,
torpedoes, etc., shows not much differ
ence. The command of the sea may con
sequently pass from us to the Americans
or to the Germans, If either nation be
comes richer than we are, because. In the
last Instance, the longest national purse
can afford to construct the largest and
strongest fleet. In other words, wealth Is
not only the material basis of the Brit
ish Empire, but it Is also Its shield against
foreign attack. If our wealth be de
stroyed, the fall of our empire will inev
itably follow.
INTEREST TO WOOLGROWERS
New England View of
Dingley Law.
Effect of
Providence Journal.
. The members of the Oregon Wool
growers' Association,. like others engaged
In the business of raising sheep for their
fleeces, have become painfully aware of
the fadt that the Dingley tariff has not
brought them the prosperity they ex
pected from It, and they are casting about
for an explanation of their disappoint
ment and for some remedy for their
troubles. But while the former is evi
dently not entirely beyond their vision
the latter is apparently something of
which they have no proper comprehen
sion. At a meeting the other day their
Association formally came to the con
clusion that the unsatisfactory condition
of their business Is owing to the use 'of
adulterants, such as shoddy and cotton,
In the manufacture of so-called woolen
goods, and, after warmly denouncing the
manufacturers for that practice, it adopt
ed resolutions protesting against the use
of cheap substitutes in woolens and de
manding legislation that will compel the
marking of so-called woolen goods with
descriptions of the components used.
Now it is true enough, as has several
times been pointed out in these columns,
that the Increasing use of adulterants by
the producers of so-called woolen goods
Is the Immediate cause of that dimin
ished consumption of domestic wool which
Is responsible for the low prices of
which the shepherds complain. It Is also
true enough that strict honesty would
require the plain labeling of all imita
tions of woolens for the protection of the
purchaser; and a law on that subject
would have at least as much warrant
as the law regulating the manufacture
and sale of oleomargarine. But if the
woolgrowers think that such a statutory
requlrement would assure them the prices
for their product which they expected
the Dingley tariff was going to give them
they are as much mistaken as the dairy
men were who obtained the oleomarga
rine legislation. The remedy they pro
pose is not the right one for their
troubles.
The woolen manufacturers are not mak
ing shoddy goods because they are nat
urally disposed to resort to fraudulent
practices, and the consumers are not buy
ing shoddy clothing because they have
been deceived into believing that It Is
all-wool. The fact is that the high du
ties Imposed on the fleece of the sheep
by the Dingley tariff law, and imposed
at the urgent request of the political,
shepherds, backed up by the votes of the
flock owners all over the country, have
placed the cost of all-wool clothing too
high for the mass of the people to be
able to buy such clothing, and the man
ufacturers in making goods that can be
sold profitably at a lower cost because
of the cheaper materials used are sim
ply meeting the inevitable demands of
the market. Very few people, if any, are
unaware that when they buy a ready
made suit of clothes for five or ten dol
lars they are not getting as good a suit
as they could get from a custom tailor
for fifty or sixty dollars; nor can they be
made to accept this statement that the
difference Is all In the maker's name or
even in the perfection of the workman
ship. They know well enough that a large
part of the difference Is In the quality
of the material used in the manufacture
of the cloth, and they buy the poorer
goods simply because they cannot afford
to buy the better. They would continue
to buy the poorer even if it were la
beled shoddy. Such a law as the Ore
gon woolgrowers propose would not
force people to stop buying cheap cloth
ing; the exigencies of their pecuniary
condition would forbid. It would not,
therefore, force the price of wool up,
for the manufacturers would not buy
any more of a product that they could
not sell. The remedy proposed is entire
ly wrong;, and It seems particularly un
fitting on the part of the shepherds to
attempt to throw on the mill owners the
responsibility for a state of things which
their own unintelligent rapacity has
caused. The mill owners are simply ad
Justing themselves to the existing situa
tion; the wool growers are trying to es
cape the logical consequences of It.
Such Is the unreasonable rapacity of
the latter that they can never, of course,
get all that they desire. But if they
would Increase the consumption of their
product and get better prices than they
are getting t now, they must consent to
a reduction' of the duty on wool to a
level that will enable the manufactur
ers to resume the production of all
wool goods with a fair chance to dis
pose of the cloth when made. Of course
It would be better for woolgrowers,
woolen manufacturers and the purchas
ers of clothing alike if the duty on wool
were entirely removed; but, a reduction
of the duty is absolutely necessary if
the shepherds are to prosper in any de
gree. If the mill owners are to be able
to make high-class goods in large quan
tities, and If the people are to have the
advantage of wearing the kind of cloth
ing which they still, presumably, pre
fer. Is the Genius of Ireland Irish?
Monthly Review.
The genius of Ireland Is a curiously par
adoxical subject, and requires a study to
itself. Though so many great men have
been associated with Ireland, when we
analyze them according to race we find
that a remarkably large proportion of
them are of English or Scotch descent.
Bishop Berkeley, for Instance, is often
called an Irishman, though his father
was English (his mother's origin Is un
known,) and though he always consid
ered himself an Englishman. " The great
Irish patriots have usually had English
blood In their veins, and have sometimes
even been proud of the fact. And yet,
while this is so, Ireland has somehow
had the art of imparting some of her
subtlest qualities to those happy Eng
lishmen who have had the good fortune to
possess some slight strain of her blood,
or to be born in her land, or even to have
lived there In youth. The greatest Eng
lish humorists and wits Swift and Sterne
and Congreve had this good fortune. In
the same way, while Ireland has scat
tered her saints over England and the
Continent, her own patron saint is a
Scotchman, who was never canonized.
The contribution of Ireland to our na.
tional genius cannot well be stated in
numerical values.
PRIZE CASES: 'DECIDED
awards to manila and saxt i
ago Claimants.
Nearly ?8OO,000 to Be ' Dlvftlcd
Among 500O Men More Volunteers
Arrive at San Francisco.
WASHINGTON, June 27. Justice Brad
ley, in the Equity Court, today decided
the Manila Bay and Santiago Bay prize
cases. The decision is In favor of the
claimants as to vessels captured and as
to property taken from vessels captured,
but against them as to property captured
ashore. The decision holds that vessels
sunk and afterward raised were captured
and not destroyed; that property cap
tured ashore Is not subject to prize; that
property taken from vessels sunk and
not claimed as prizes on which bounty
was given Is a prize; that the cascoes or
cargo boats and all floating derricks
that were captured at Manila are not
prizes.
According to the counsel, the claimants
in the Manila case receive a total of
J2S8.O0O, divided among about 2000' per
sons, and the claimants in the Santiago
case will get In the neighborhood Of
$500,000, distributed 'among about 3000 per
sons. These figures, however, are not
final. These amounts are in addition to
the bounties already allowed by the
Court of Claims.
The bounty given to the Manila claim
ants by the Court of Claims amounted
to $191,000, which Is now being paid off,
while the $166,000 awarded to the Santiago
claimants will be paid off. It is expected,
during next Autumn. The decision dis
poses of both the Manila and Santiago
claims, the principles Involved being sim
ilar. Counsel for the claimants may conclude
to appeal to the Court of Appeals in an
effort to gain the points on which they
lost. All persons who served with Admiral
Dewey who are entitled to share In the
bounty decided by the Court of Claims
should send their addresses to the Aud-
itor for the Navy Department, Treasury
Department, to secure prompt adjust
ment. FIGHTING IN SAMAR.

LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS.
Another Fight to Secure Law
to
This Effect Probable.
WASHINGTON. June 22. There will
undoubtedly be another fight at the next
session of Congress to secure legislation
providing for a system of leasing th
public grazing lands of the West, which
are not included In the forest reserves.
The opinion prevails among many Gov
ernment officials, who are familiar with
range problems, that such legislation
should be enacted, and more or less
pressure In this direction will be brought
to bear by them. One of the enthusiasts
who hopes to see a leasing system Inau
gurated, In discussing the question the
other day. said:
"The public ranges can be leased in a
way that would benefit both the govern
ment and the stockmen. On the other
hand, they can be leased so as to work a
great Injury all around. If some system,
of leasing should be adopted, which would
in no way restrict homestead settlement,
and which would not interfere with set
tlers taking up any part of the lands that
might be covered by lease, no harm, but
rather a benefit would accrue. StocKmen
leasing a range, arc sure to preserve it,
prevent overgrazing, and In fact use their
best efforts to maintain the supply of
fodder. On the contrary, where the vast
public ranges are unrestrictedly thrown
open to them, many look not to the fu
ture, nor care for the Interests of the
man who may follow them, and become
careless.
"To adopt a grazing system which pro
hibits homestead settlement for the en
tire period covered by the lease, would
operate to prevent the development of
many valuable sections, where agriculture
could readily supersede grazing. It Is an
acknowledged fact that lands devoted to
agriculture yield a much heavier return
each year than the same, lands devoted en
tirely to grazing. First of all the home
steader should have rights on the pub
lic domain, and any legislation curtailing
the rights of this class of settler will meet
with strenuous opposition."
This official believes that when Congresg
comes to understand the great leasing
problem, and recognizes Its benefits ovre
present methods, it will hasten to adopt
a system along the lines suggesiea.
Commissioner Mack Returns.
County Commissioner J. G. Mack re
turned yesterday from a 10 days' trip to
San Francisco. He was very favorably
impressed with the growth San Fran
cisco has made since he used to live there,
and with the miles and miles of paved
streets and concrete sidewalks that have
taken the place of the sand streets, es
pecially In the western addition, and says
the manner In which these streets are
kept swept and watered could with ad
vaptage be followed in Portland. Al
though San Francisco has grown to "be
a great and prosperous city, he had no
desire to stay there, but prefers Port
land both as a place to do business In
and as a place of residence.
