TACCOIA. Aug. 7. Portland gave the poorest exhibition of fielding: today that a local crowd has heen compelled to wit ness. All that Tacoma did yesterday In the Ill-fated fifth was repeated by Port land through all of the nlno Innings. Only one of Tacoma's errors was cosrty, and that let In a run. Some sensational field ing relieved the otherwise distressing ex hibition. A catch by Tinker of a foul "back of the bleachers and Flannery's clever stop of a line drive from Anderson tvere the best? plays. Both Wllner and Glendon pitched good ball, with the per centage slightly in favor of Wllner. In two Innings the hits were bunched on him, but otherwise he was as reliable as a. clock. Grim was injured in a. collision with Flannery and went out of the game. This left both teams crippled, for Diesel is still unable to play, and Tinker worked at short, with "Weed at third and Engel at right. Flannery's right hand is in such bad condition that he can scarcely grip a ball. McCarthy limped about the Held on one foot. Raffert was unable to run. Score, 5-3. TACOMA It. H. P.O. A.

Seattle's pitcher, HIckey, gave an exhibition of trying to put the ball over the plate.

The 90 days under which the two tracks will have been in operation will end August 13. Cresceus and The Abbott. NEW YORK, Aug. 7. It Is evident, says the World, that the battle for the trot ting crown between Cresceus and the Ab bott, at Brighton Beach track on August 15, is attracting extraordinary interest. Among the patrons of racing who will come down from Saratoga .to see the meeting of the kings of the sulky arc August Belmont, chairman of the State Racing Commission, and William C. Whit ney. Of minor interest, perhaps, is the fact that Joe Patchen (2:01), who was shipped from his home at Goshen, Monday, along with the string of campaigners owned by ex-Senator John McCarthy, of Brooklyn, Is to meet Anaconda in a match at Brighton next Monday. It will be Joe Patchen's first engagement this season.

For Hundreds of allies Along the Stream the Country Is an Immense Lake. VICTORIA, B. C Aug. 7. Great floods, caused by the overflowing of the Yangtse, have caused the death of many thou sands in China. The river has risen 40 feet, and for hundreds of miles the coun try is a great lake, with only the tops of trees and an occasional roof showing. At Anklng the town Is flooded, some of the houses to their roofs. At KIu Klang, the native town is flooded, and two feet of water stands in the foreign settlement. Lower down the river, towards Wuhu, the destruction was greater, and boatmen esti mate that 20,000 were drowned in that DUSE WILL RETURN TO, ACT. THE DRAMATIC STAR HAS MADE PEACE WITH D'ANNUNZIO,WIIO WILL APPEAR WITH HER. Pleasing news to lovers of the drama Is the fact that Duse and D'Annunzlo have patched up their recent quarrel and will make a Ave months tour of this country together during the coming season, touring at all the big cities. district. Chong Teh was wiped away by flood, and 10,000 were drowned there and many other points have been Inundated, involving awful loss of life and great de struction to property. It was feared the embankments built by Chong Cheh Tung, near Wu Chang, would break, and If they did, the flood would drown hundreds of thousands. The Hong Kong police seized, July 10, at a house In Queen's Road, West, many hundreds of new Mausers, old hammer and needle guns, several hundred revolvers and Chinese horse pistols with ammuni tion of every kind and reloading and re capping tools. A Chinese junk owner said his vessel had been chartered by Euro peans to land the arms secretly in Sa mal. Von Wnldersec's Return. BERLIN, Aug. 7. The return of Count von Waldersee from China has been quite overshadowed by the melancholy event at Cronberg. Several papers indulge In re flections upon his career In the far East', commenting upon the results in some what disappointed tones. His work Is highly praised, but running through the commendation Is an admission that the German Nation a year ago greatly mis conceived the scope and character of his mission. Countess von Waldersee this morning went on board the Gera at Cux haven to greet the Count, and the Gera then ascended the Elbe to Brunshausen. On the way Count von Waldersee be stowed the China medal upon the officers and crew of the steamsh'p. The Count will attend the funeral of the Dowager Empress Frederick. Cause of the Delay. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-It Is the un derstanding at the State Department that the delay in signing the protocol at Pekln is probably due to the difficulty of adjusting the tariff on an ad valorem. Instead of a specific basis, and also in arranging the details for the co-operation of the military branch in the restric tions in the Importation of fire arms. Our Government has received representa tions made by Pacific Coast commercial bodies, saying that the proposed 5 per cent duty on a gold basis will work a serious hardship on our trade in flour going Into the Orient. Typhoid Attacks German Troops. TIEN TSIN, Aug. 7. Thero is great mortality from malignant typhoid fever among the German troops here. WINDOW-GLASS COMBINATION. Americans Trying: to Buy Belgian Plants. BRUSSELS, Aug. 7. A representative of American capitalists named Cham bers, who is negotiating to acquire the Charlerol Glass Works, had a three-hours' conference with the proprietors of the works this afternoon. The decision ar rived at was not announced. The glass company owns 40 furnaces and values them at 500,000 francs each. Referring to the negotiations, the Journal says: "In the improbable ,event that the transfer Is consummated', the Americans would not close up the fac tories, as has been rumored, but the whole product of the factories would be thrown upon the American market." It adds that several Belgian manufacturers have decided to sell If their terms are accepted. PITTSBURG, Aug. 7. The Times tomor row will say: "Another vast Industrial combination, one of the greatest that has ever been planned, Is evidently vunder way, and two prominent Plttsburgers are taking a lead ing part In the consummation of the project, that has for Its object the world's supply of window glass by one corpora tion. The proposed combination is to take tn all of the window-glass manufactories of the world, and. If effected, the business will be conducted from Pittsburg, as the nucleus of the organization Is the Ameri can Window-Glass Company, of this city. This company practically controls the window-glass business of the United 1 States, and the only factories in Europe that amount to anything are located In Belgium. A combination of these, judging from the Item from Brussels, is now un der way. The Plttsburgers who are con ducting the negotiations are: President James A. Chambers and Vice-President M. K. Mullen, of the American Window Glass Company. They left this city for Europe about 10 days ago." CORONATION PLANS. Preparations for the Ceremonial Are in Progress. NEW YORK, Aug. 7. The Tribune's London correspondent says: Preparations are making at court for a reversion from half to full mourn ing. The remarkable series of be reavements which have overwhelmed royalty have excited public com passion, and have also created a desire for the brighter side of court functions. The coronation will be welcomed by the nation and by eoclety as a sign that a period of mourning has ended and that "Merrle England" Is not an obsolete phrase. Preparations for the ceremonial are in progress, and many Important points have been settled. The attend ance at Westminster Abbey wlU be lim ited in every possible way, so that the function will be witnessed only by those who can establish their right to be there. The King has decided that the Peers with historic privileges at coronation are not entitled to have more than one page. This ruling will reduce the number of costumed figures in the royal procession and relieve the pressure upon the Peers for the appointment of pages. The hered itary claims of various Peers to render some slight service in the coronation cere mony are being pressed before the Privy Council at great expense, since their validity must be established by historic evidence produced after a protracted In vestigation by experts. The fact that the coronation audience will be the most brilliant and exclusive one 'ever gathered In the Abbey makes It Important for those having any claim based upon heredity or tradition to employ solicitors and ex perts to work up a case to the best pos sible advantage. The King's time Is large ly taken up with the settlement of de tails relating to the coronation. He de cides every point offhand, but never changes his mind or leaves anything open to a double construction. The one thing needed for the develop ment of public Interest In the pageants of the new reign Is peace In South Africa. Lord Kitchener's summary of the week's operations shows a decline In the number of Boers accounted for, but this reduc tion is fully explained by the thinning out of the commandoes still In the field. Gen eral French's report Is highly favorable to British hopes, since as many as 13 British columns are mentioned as harry ing the Boers simultaneously. Lord Kitchener and General French are clear ly encouraged by the result of the ex hausting campaign which Is now In prog ress. Lord Milner's return will be fol lowed, unless ,all signs fall, by the re opening of the Johannesburg mining in dustry on a large scale and by import ant changes in the political policy. King Edward has been the recipient of a, number of sympathetic messages from all parts of the world. The Sultan of Turkey was the first to telegraph an ex pression of deep condolence with Hls Majesty, and similar messages have come from other foreign powers and their rep resentatives In London. When the King arrived in London from Cowes he must have been strongly re minded of the sad days following the death of his mother last January. Thous ands of people had assembled In the vi cinity of the railway station, and as His Majesty, accompanied by the Queen and Princess Victoria, drove by on his way to Marlborough House, every man In the crowd removed his hat In token of sym pathy with the royal mourners. Says Boers Are Par From Defeat. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 7. Thomas Ader hold reached his home today in this city direct from the Transvaal, where for IS months he has been ministering to the sick and wounded Boers as a Red Cross surgeon. He went to South Africa with the Irish-American hospital corps, of Chi cago. Mr. Aderhold says the Boers are as far from defeat now as a year ago, and that they are confident of winning. His return is due to being captured by the British and being sent from the country. The English were very bitter against those aiding the Boers, and only by the per sistent efforts of the American Consul was Mr. Aderhold permitted to escape a term at St. Helena. Dismissal Was Illegal. PARIS, Aug. 7. The Tribunal Commerce today rendered judgment In favor of Mme. Perlvler and M. de Rodays, editor of the Figaro, declaring that the resolu tions for their dismissal by the share holders of that paper were null and void, because they contravened the articles of association. Gladstone-Paget Engngemcnt. LONDON, Aug. 7. The approaching mar. rlago of Herbert Gladstone (son of the late v.ullam E. Gladstone) and a daugh ter of Sir Richard Horner Paget, Baro-riAt- is announced. MAY BE INVESTIGATED CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE HUMPH REYS, OF HAWAII. Complaints of the Bar Association to Be Laid Before the Department of Justice. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Judge A. H. Humphreys, of the First Circuit United States Court, Hawaii, today had a con ference with Attorney-General Knox. Some time ago the Bar Association of Hawaii filed a complaint with Judge Humphreys alleging, among other things, arbitrary and unjust treatment of mem bers of the bar and specifying the ar rest of three well-known attorneys upon a charge of contempt of court. The sen tence, however, was not executed, and subsequenty the accused were pardoned by the Governor. On the other hand, It Is said a large number of letters have been received here testifying to the up rightness and integrity of Judge Hum phreys, and other testimony bearing upon the case Is expected very soon. It Is ex pected that the Bar Association of Hawaii will follow its complaint by formal charges and then the matter will be taken up by the Department of Justice and disposed of. It Is Intimated by per sons In a position to have knowledge on the subject that the complaints against Judge Humphreys are a result of the an tagonism that has existed for some time between the new Federal officials and the old regime. Judge Humphreys will re main some days. Increasing the Artillery. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Under the In structions of Secretary Root that the ar tillery arm be Increased one-sixth when ever 1800 men have been recruited, the War Department has directed the Issue of an drder carrying out these Instructions to date from August 1.

Extensive Improvements- are contemplated at the im portant military posts at Fort Monroe, Va.; Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; Fort Sher idan, 111., and San Francisco. Since the transfer of the military prison to Leaven worth to the Government several years ago, the posts named have been used for the imprisonment of general mllltarj pris oners. Under the general plans of the de partment, it is intended to improve and 'enlarge the prison facilities at the above- named posts. THE MEXIA CLAIMANTS. May Settle the Will Contest Out of Court. NEW YORK, Aug. 7. George H. Plow man, a lawyer of Dallas, Tex., Is In the city for the purpose of consulting his cli ents, Mrs. Mary Gray Mexla, widow of General Enrique A. Mexla, of the City of Mexico, and her daughter, Miss Amaca Luce Mexla, who are among the contest ants of the will of General Mexla, who died In the City of Mexico In 1896. His es tate consists of more than 50,000 acres of land In Texas as well as bonds and other property. Offers of a compromise have been made by some of the contestants, and Mr. Plowman will discuss these terms with Mrs. Mary Gray Mexla and her daughter, says the Herald. The contest of the will which has been before the court of Dallas for more than five years Is one of the most celebrated law cases of Texas. The estate, originally valued at $1,000,000, Is now believed to be worth about $200,000. Mrs. Mexla and her daughter are now living In Paterson, N. J., where they have resided for several years. General Mexla had high rank In the Mexican Army, was a close friend of President Diaz, for a long time being one of his chief advisers, and for many years was president of the Mexican National lottery. According to evidence lntVoduced during the contest of the will In the Dallas court it was shown that in 1864 he met Miss Mary Gray, who was at the time living with her father at New Or leans. General Mexla being on active duty with the Mexican Army at Tamplco, at the time fixed for the wedding, a mar riage by proxy was "arranged. The valM ity of this marriage by proxy has been repeatedly attacked. Inasmuch as General Mexla In 186S married Mrs. Ramsay, the widow of Colonel A. C. Ramsay, before his death a United States Army officer. Three children were born to Mrs. Ramsay while she was Colonel Ramsay's wife, Clarence M., Inez and Adele. The second wife having died on March 23, 1896, the General married Mrs. Martha Welghtman, of this city. When General Mexla's will was offered for probate In Dallas it was found he had left all his estate to Inez and Adele Ramsay-Mexla. The Ramsay Mexla sisters have now offered to com promise the case. It is said, and the ques tion of accepting the terms of compromise offered is being considered by the other side. It Is possible that an agreement will be reached before the return of Mr. Plowman to Dallas next month, accord ing to statements that he has made here. NEW SUGAR REFINERY. Independent Concern Will Fight the Trust. NEW YORK. Aug. 7. It has been an nounced that at the last session of the New Jersey State Riparian Commission a grant of 550 feet of river front at Pleas ant Valley, a short distance south of the Fort Lee ferry, was made to George R. Ross and William Sprague. This Is be lieved to be a sequel to the announcement recently made by Robert Crooks & Co., of this city, that they were forming a company to operate an Immense indepen dent sugar refinery In the interest of Western grocers. Mr. Ross, who made the application for the grant of land, was represented before the Riparian Commis sion by Lawyer E. C. Erlckson. The latter said It was Intended to erect on it a manufacturing plant, which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. He Intimated that the capital back of the en terprise amounts to millions. The Commission fixed the price of the land at $60 per foot, the total being $33,000, but offered a rebate of $20 a foot in case the purchasers should expend $300,000 in the erection of a plant within six months. These terms were accepted, and Mr, Erlckson said the purchasers would hand over $22,000. with their formal applica tion, and deposit a check for $11,000, to be returned to them when the sum stipu lated had been expended on the plant. Mahsuds Atacked a Post. SIMLA, Aug. 7. Two hundred Mahsuds attacked a military post at Kashmlrkar, August 6, killing a sentry and surprising the garrison, which sought refuge in the barracks. The Mahsuds demanded the rifled threatening to burn the post if the weapons were not given up. The militia men then surrendered their rifles. Seven of the men were killed and an officer and three men were wounded. The Mahsuds then decamped with the rifles, ammuni tion, uniforms and kits of the garrison, without losing a man. c Darius Miller's New Duties. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.
