Harmon. Weakened In Last.
Tho last game of the season -with the
Seattle nine Tvent to the Portland Seam
by the score of 6 to 2. It took eleven
Innings to determine the result. Up to the
oghth it -was rather a listless game. The
crowd was not enthusiastic, and the play
ers absorbed some of the Indifference of
the spectators. When Seattle tied the
fccore In the eighth, and it -was no longer
a question of Portland winning hands
down, the spectators and the players all
commenced to jolly up somewhat, and the
contest had an exciting finish,
Portland scored the first run of ,the
game. With Muller out, Deisel performed
his usual act of taking nis base on balls.
He did some fast sprinting and scored
on Anderson's two-bagger.
In the fourth Portland ran another man
over the home plate. With one man
out. Weed took first on Harmon's error.
Grim flew out to center. Brown ad
vanced to second with a clean hit. On
the next play the two men made a dou
blo steal, Avhile Frary stood wondering
-whether to throw the ball to second or
third. Salisbury knocked a ball to Klopf,
which he juggled while Weed scored.
Seattle commenced run-getting in the
sixth. With one man out Zelgler sent
out a clean hit. He was followed by
Stoval, who knocked a two-bagger. Zelg
ler reached third at the same time as the
ball from Brown's arm, but he over-ran
the base, and Tinker touched him. Sto
val reached second. He scored on Hur
ley's clean two-base hit.
In the eighth Harmon tied the score.
He took third on Tinker's error in hand
ling a hot grounder, and making a bad
throw to first. He scored on Zelgler's
timely single.
With the score two all, the players com
menced to get in the game. Each side
pulled out of critical situations, and the
game seemed to be destined to last 16
innings, when Harmon weakened in the
11th, and Portland ran up four runs.
There were two men out when the win
ning runs were scored. Weed had gone
cut at first, and Grim, after taking first
by being hit by a pitched ball, had been
retired at second on Brown's grounder
to Harmon. Salisbury advanced Brown
to second with a hit. Muller filled the
liases by taking a gift from Harmon. It
was a shame to take the walk, but an
other base on balls, this one to Dplsel,
forced Brown over the plate. Anderson
knocked an easy ball to Zelgler, and while
lie Juggled it, all hands advanced a Tjase,
and Salisbury scored. Tinker came up
with a hit that brought in Muller and
Deisel. Saromie "Vigneaux ended the im
broglio by striking out;
This afternoon at 3:30 the Spokane nine

the home nine. This will be the last
opportunity of seeing the Spokane nine

left last evening for Tacoma for a four
games' series.

who jslayed with the Salt Lake nine this
season, and was formerly a member of -the
Cincinnati and Indianapolis nines. He is
a clever pitcher, and his addition has
greatly -strengthened the Spokane team.

from Tacoma, Is also on the pitching staff,
and has won all three games he pitched.
He Is alternating in the field. Fay, form
erly with the Fontella nine, of Portland,

Professional Baseball Association.
NEW YORK, Sept 30. President P. T.
Powers, of the Eastern Baseball League,
gave out a statement today that in con
sequence of the National League's abro
gation of the National agreement, all the
professional baseball clubs in the United
States and Canada, excepting the 16 club
members in the National and American
leagues, have banded together for mutual
protection, and organized an Independent
association under the name of the Nat
ional Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues, of which Powers is the president
Mr. Powers has addressed a letter to the
president of each club member of the
National and American leagues, asking
them to co-operate with the new associa
tion in respecting the reserve and contract
rights of the clubs and players.
President Powers says:
"It is not the purpose of this letter to
criticise the action of the National League
in this matter, but simply to acquaint
you with the fact that in consequence of
the National League's abrogation of the
National agreement, which for so many
years has been considered the bulwark
of professional baseball, the following
leagues of professional baseball clubs have
banded together for mutual protection and
organized an entirely Independent asso
ciation. The membership of this new or
ganization is composed of 11 leagues, rep
resenting the Western League, the East
ern League, the Western Association, the
Indlana-Iowa-Ullnols Leagues, the New
York State League, the Connecticut State
League, the New England League, the
Southern' League the "Virginia-North
Carolina League, the Pacific Northwest
League, and the California State League,
employing m all at least 1000 professional
players.
"While it Is to be regretted that a
baseball war now exists between the Na
tional and American Leagues, yet the
minor leagues are In no way parties
to it or responsible for it, and as the
minor leagues desire to remain neutral,
we respectfully appeal to the rest that
the Individual members of each of the"
American and National Leagues express
their willingness as individual clubs to re
spect the reserves and contract rights of
the minor league clubs with their players,
the minor league clubs, members of the
National Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues, to reciprocate by respecting
the reserve and contract rights of tho
club members of the National and Amer
ican Leagues with their players, or such
individual clubs of those two leagues as
may be willing to join with us In this
reciprocity agreement.
"I am prompted to make this proposi
tion," concludes President Powers, "with
the hope that a sufficient number, if not
all of the Individual club members of the
two "warring National and American Lea
gues will co-operate with the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues on these important and essential
points."
President Powers requests an early re
ply as tQ the attitude of each club on
the matters presented.

Gans easily evaded them. Gans ' then
rushed, and as he did so he hooked Hand
ler with the left to the jaw and dropped
him. Handler arose, but sparred wildly
and was again put down. He was very
groggy and barely able to defend himself,
and down he went again with a short
swing on the chin. He arose quickly.
when Gans rushed and planted his left
cleanly on the jaw, sending Handler down
again. Handler got to his knees and stag
gered toward the ropes when he toppled

WHISTLING FOR THE WIND
COLUMBIA AND SHAMROCK II WILL
MEET AGAIN TODAY.
Weatlier Bureau Predicts a Light to

Never So Keen.
NEW YORK, Sept 30. Every one is
whistling for a favoring wind when Co
lumbia and Shamrock II meet tomorrow
in the second race for the America's cup.
Interest is tuned to the highest pitch as
a result of the grand contest of Satur
day; confidence is supreme on board Erin
and Shamrock, as it is with American
yachtsmen. The course is to be triangu

The start may be expected about 11:30
o'clock. The official forecast for Sandy
Hook from Washington is as follows:
"The winds will be light to fresh,f north
erly In the morning, but they will prob
ably decrease toward noon and become
variable, light"
A rattling wind, without too much sea,
were the conditions on the course today,
whilo the two great yachts lay at anchor
in the horseshoe at Sandy Hook. It was
such a day as made the sailors on both
the challenger and the defender envious.
Sir Thomas Lipton called It Shamrock

move the cup a little. On board Colum

Betting today showed the effect of Sat
urday's wonderful contest. The talk of
long odds was silenced,, and two to one
on Columbia 'seems to have been the best
recorded on the general result, while on
tomorrow's race these odds were shaved
down, in one Instance from six to five.
As a matter of fact, however, the actual
bets recorded are at such varying figures
as to odds that no quotation can be given
as a standard.
Crews of Both. Yachts Busy.
The crews of the great yachts were kept
busy most of the day overhauling stand
ing and running gear and sails. They

best possible trim for what ,all believe
will be the greatest test of their sailing

' It was "wash day" on board Columbia,
and soon after daylight every man of tho
crew went to work scrubbing his white
working suit, in which he will appear to
morrow. After breakfast the cleat or me
mainsail was brought in on deck. Sal
makers and riggers went to work at It,
making some slight alterations and fix
ing a portion of the Iron work about the
boom.
It is said Shamrock is to have a new
mainsail and jib for tomorrow's race, but
no move was made during the day to
change these sails. Soms jibs were hoist,
ed and stretched, and some wire rigging
was placed and served. Captain Sycamore
and Sailmaker Ratsey were" in frequent
conferences during the day, and botn
agreed that a good, strong breeze, with
smooth water, is what Shamrock wants
for the triangular course. Manager Davi
son and Designer Watson came to the
city early and remained all day. Sir
Thomas Lipton, when asked what weather
he would like, said:
"Give us a good 'scupper breeze from
the northwest, and I am sure the Sham
rock will win. She is very fast on the
reach, and in a smooth or a rough sea she
will do well."
E. D. Morgan and Herbert Leeds, of
Columbia, visited Sir Thomas on board
the Erin during the afternoon. Mr. Mor
gan expressed a desire for a strong breeze,
so that there might be no question about
the best boat, and also to avoid a post
ponement British Are Encouraged.
NEW YORK, Sept 30. A Herald dis
patch from London says:
The papers have very little to say this
morning about Saturday's race. The
Daily Telegraph and Dally News are si
lent The Dally Mall says: "There will be
but little difference in the all-round capa
bilities of the rival yachts when they are
tried over the triangular course."
The Daily Express says: "When it Is
all over we shall be alike, satisfied, Eng
lish and Americans, that either of us
could beat any rival in the world but
each other a healthy International preju
dice that It is good to maintain, even at
a loss of many yacht races."
The Dally Graphic says: "The trian
gular course should be more favorable
to Shamrock II."
The Morning Post says: "The next race
to be decided is over a triangular course,
each side of the triangle being 10 miles
in length. Judging by Saturday's strug
gle this should be In favor of Shamrock
II.'
The Dally Chronicle says: "Sir Thomas
Lipton has considerable reason for his
unflagging spirits. His yacht has aston
ished these American experts-, who de
cided after Thursday that Shamrock II
was a negligible quantity. We cherish
the hope that in the next race it will
blow hard." l
BROAD GOT THE DECISION.
His Fight With Sullivan Was a Fast
One ill the Way Through.
LOUISVILLE, Sept 30. Kid Broad, of
Cleveland, was tonight given the decision
over Dave Sullivan, of New York, after
25 of the fastest rounds ever seen here.
The contest took place before the South
ern Athletic Club, and 3000 persons saw
it
The men fought at 126 pounds, and both
were in fine condition. In the earlier
rounds, Sullivan was the aggressor, but
did no damage. The Kid got down to
business in tile fifth round, and forced
matters. The fifth' was Broad's all the
way. He made Sullivan dance all over
the ring, and got in some vicious swings
to the wind, kidneys and face. Sullivan
was apparently badly rattled. In the
sixth round Broad landed a dozen times
to the head, and received several light
ones In return. In the seventh Sullivan
dropped a straight right on. Broad's eye,
and that organ was soon all but closed.
The eighth was -the hottest round ever
seen here. They rushed at each other
with right and left swings, upper cuts-,
straight rights and lefts, and each made
a veritable chopplng-block of the other
before the referee could .make them break
under the rules. In the ninth round
Broad received several hard straight
rights on his damaged eye. Honors were
even in the 10th. The 11th round found
Sullivan the aggressor. He did the bet
ter work as to points, though his blows
lacked steam. In the 12th Sullivan was
groggy, and the gong was all that saved
him. In the 13th Sullivan was forced to
the ropes time and again, and was get
ting noticeably weaker. His eye was al
most closed, and his mouth was bleeding.
Sullivan's wonderful recuperating power
asserted itself in the 14th round, and the
round ended in his favor. In the 15th Sul
livan began to weaken again, Broad hav
ing him all but out. Broad poured dozens
of upper cuts to Sullivan's wind in the
17th round, and Sullivan's distress was
only too evident Mercilessly Broad kept
after him. and once more, when a stiff
blow would have ended the fight, the bell
sounded. The J8th round, however,
brought the New York boy up apparently
strong and fresh, and both did some very
pretty work, Sullivan rushing for a knock
out and Broad allowing him to expend his
energies. Matters were about even In the
19th. but the 20th was decidedly Broad's.
Several times he rushed Sullivan to the
ropes, and did his best to chop him down.
In the 21st round Sullivan struck Broad
rather low In the stomach, and Broad ap
peared to be In such agony that many
I thought he was going out. He went
through the round, however, and the
crowd howled and cheered hlmwhen he
came up in the 22d round, and, after some
of the fastest fighting ever seen anywhere,
Broad had the New York boy almost
asleep when the gong once more saved
him. Both came up very tired In the 23d
round, though Dave was the stronger of
the two. They swung wildly, and did no
damage. Thus they fought the next two
rounds, at the conclusion of which Referee
Hurst "declared Broad the winner. '

GUARANTY FOR A "RAILROAD
Line to Nehalem if Portland Capital
Will Mine Coal There.
PORTLAND, Sept. 30 (To the Editor.)
Your various well-timed editorials In
The Oregonlan about a year ago. urging
upon our citizens the importance of mak
ing an effort to discover first-class coal
fields near Portland called forth from
me an article In Tne Sunday Oregonlan
of September 30, 1900, entitled, "How Port
land May Advance." Therein I suggested
that 300 subscribers contribute 525 each,
and thus11 raise a fund of 57500 to make
coal explorations, through scientific ex
perts, any and everywhere within a radius
of 80 miles of this city, who would, I felt
sure, discover good coal in Northwestern
Oregon, probably in the Nehalem country.
Like most other philanthropic business
enterprises for new developments which
would increase the growth of Portland,
this proposition fell through, and, except
a voluntary contribution or check to The
Oreconian with a letter indorsing the
scheme from that energetic citizen, George
T. Myers, no one in Portland felt dis
posed to risk 525 on what was then sup
posed to a "wild goose chase" for coal.
It is a common proverb, often reneated
here, that "God has done much for Ore
gon, but man has done mighty little."
However, In this matter Providence did
come to Portland's assistance when her
own citizens declined to do anything; for
within the last eight months three per.
manent coal discoveries of three different
kinds of coals have been made a lignite of
six to seven feet thickness in Columbia
County, 36 miles from Portland, a seml
bltumlnous coal four feet eight inches
thick of extra good quality at Nehalem
Bay, and, best of all, a first-class coking
coal, varying in thickness from three to
seven feet on the surveyed line of the
Portland, Nehlem & Tillamook Railway,
55 miles from Portland.
Coal, however, even the best coking
coal, is worthless without adequate trans
portation to Portland, and the question
arises, "Can the assistance of Providence
be also obtained to build a railway to these
coal mines without Portland's assist
ance?" We believe It can; or rather that
Eastern capitalists, having more confi
dence than Portland capitalist possess
in the benefits which Portland will derive
from a coking bituminous coal, have of
fered to give guarantees In writing to
supply sufficient capital to secure con
struction of the railway to these coal
beds subject to one condition, namely, that
In exchange for that railway a similar
guaranty from citizens of Portland Is
essential saying that when a railroad from
Portland reaches these mines next year
the citizens, or some responsible com
pany will guarantee to own and oper
ate these coal mines, so as to be able
to deliver to the railway company for
transit to Portland coal sufficient to dis
place the coals now arriving by rail
dally from Puget Sound. Cannot this be
done, and a Portland coal company of
financial strength be organized by Port
land people? Let us get together and
discuss the practicability of the plan.

OFFICIAL INQUIRY BEGUN
INVESTIGATION OF THE ALLEGED
MANILA HEMP COMBINATION.
Lieutenant-Colonel Heistand Charged
-With Using His Official Position
to Further His Ends.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. The Senate
sub-committee of the committee on mil
itary affairs, consisting of Senators Haw
ley, chairman; Proctor, Burrows, Cockrell
and Harris, today began the Investiga
tion of charges against Lieutenant-Colonel
H. O. S. Heistand, of the Army, in con
nection with the alleged Manila hemp
combination. The charges were preferred
by Major B. L. Hawkes, an ex-volunteer
officer, and were deemed of sufficient
seriousness to warrant an investigation
by the Senate. Colonel Heistand was
present today, at the opening of the in
quiry, in company with his attorney,
Charles W. Needham. The committee ae
clded that the proceedings snould be pub
lic, that course being regarded as best
for all concerned.
In brief the charges against Colonel
Heistand are that he, in connection with
other officers In the Army and some offi
cials in the civil departments of the. Gov
ernment, attempted to form a combina
tion to control the output of hemp from
the Philippines, using their official posi
tions and influence to lurtner tneir enas.
Major Hawkes preferred the charges to
the ' Secretary of War, and also to the
Senate Committee on military affairs.
They were denied by those against whom
the allegations were made. After some
consideration the Senate, by resolution,
authorized the Investigation which began
today.
At the opening of the inquiry several
important documents from the War De
partment were submitted to the commit
tee, Including a copy, of the charges made
against Colonel Hels'tand and his reply to
them. . In his reply, Colonel Heistand
says he was identified with the proposed
company, and considered his connection
with It legitimate and honorable. Some
time prior to the making of the charges,
Colonel Heistand says, he ceased all ne
gotiations with Major Hawkes, effecting
a settlement in full with him. Major
Hawkes delivered to him all papers In
the case, and .took a receipt for them.
Subsequently Colonel Heistand received a
letter from Major Hawkes In which the
latter said he had retained certified cop
ies of all the letters and papers In the
case, and had photographs of the more
Important documents. Among the papers
sent by the War Department werothose
relating to the appointment of Major
Hawkes to the Army, and as an officer
in the Philippines' custom service, and
his discharge from that place.'
At the afternoon session Major Hawkes
was sworn and testified to the state
ments heretofore made in the Senate
which caused the investigation. He went
Into details and read copies of letters
which Heistand had written to him. The
most Important development during the
day was Major Hawkes' testimony regard
ing the first meeting of some of those
who were projectors of the proposed Ma
nila Rope Company, which was held In
Dudley & Michener's law office In this
city in the Summer of 1899. Those pres
ent, besides the attorneys, were Colonel
Heistand and W. E. Wharton. In an
swer to an inquiry as to who were in
the company, Colonel Heistand wrote the
following list of names: William W.
Dudley, Thomas MIchener, L. W. Hawkes,
James E. Boyd, George D. Melklejohn,
Charles H. Allen and H. O. S. Heistand
H. C. Corbln and Lewis B. Jackson.
Major Hawkes produced a paper contain
ing this list, saying he saw Heistand write
the names. Colonel Hei9tand Inspected the
paper, and said he thought It was Jils
writing, but where or when he wrote the
names he had no recollection. Members
of the committee brought out the fact
that Boyd, Melklejohn, Allen, Corbln and
Jackson were not present at the meeting.
Some discussion arose as to a cablegram
from General Otis contained In a let
ter Heistand wrote to Hawkes regard
ing a 9ite for a hemp factory In the
r Philippines. ' The committee wanted to
know who sent the cablegram to Gen
eral Otis which called for his reply. Colo
nel Heistand said he sent it as a personal
message.
The letters which were read today were
copies which Hawkes had retained. Hel.
stand acknowledged most of them, say
ing that so far as he could recollect, he
had written them. The committee ad
mitted them, subject to changes which
the originals might show. These originals
are in Heistand's possession, and he was
asked by the committee to produce them,
and he promised to do so. The investi
gation will be resumed tomorrow morn
ing. A MOST UNUSUAL CASE.
Severe Punishment of a Soldier for
Abusing the Late President.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. A most un
usual case reported to the War Depart
ment Is that of Private Peter J. Devlne,
of Troop H, Eleventh Cavalry, who was
tried by a general court-martial at Fort
Ethan Allen, Vt., on the charge of "using
disrespectful words against the President
of the United States, In violation of the
14th article of war." It appears from the
evldenceHhat when the news of the shoot
ing of President McKInley was received
at Fort Ethan Allen Devlne expressed
great satisfaction over the crime, and ap
plied an uncomplimentary epithet to the
late President. His comrades handled him
roughly before he could be secured In
the guardhouse. He was found guilty by
the court, and sentenced to be dishonor
ably discharged from the service of the
United States, forfeiting all pay and al
lowance due him, and to be confined at
hard labor for one year. The record or
the case having been referred to Major
General Brooke at New York, command
ing the Department of the East, he In
dorsed It and said:
"It Is not within the power of the re
viewing authority to Increase the punish
ment,. but In older that the prisoner may
not wholly escape punishment, the sen
tence. Is approved, 'and will be duly exe
cuted at Fort Columbus, N. J., to which
place the prisoner will be sent under
proper guard."
General Brooke's action in the case Is
final, and the record simply has been sent
to the War Department for filing.
SURPLUS IN THE TREASURY.
Secretary Gage Explains It Great
Decrease in Expenses.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30. Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who Is spending a few
days at the home of his son in Evanston
before going to Colorado to spend his va
cation, said in regard to the present large
surplus In the Treasury:
"The prosperous condition of the coun
try must be most gratifying. The de
crease In the expenditures of the Govern
ment, however, is a salient factor In the
Increase In the surplus In the last three
months. From June 30, 1901, to September
26. the revenue amounted to 5136,000,000.
The expenditures during this time were
$121,000,000. This left an excess of nearly
$15,000,000. During the same period In
1900, the receipts were $139,000,000 and the
expenditures the same. Of course, the
fact must be taken Into consideration that
the revenue for the last three months was
under the lowered schedule, so that the
$136,000,000 receipts-this year represents a
larger amount of business transacted than
during the same time last year, when
$139,000,000 was received.
"It was estimated when the present rev
enue law was put In force, July 15, reve
nue receipts from all sources would fall
off some $40,000,000 by reason of the re
ductions made. If that had been, realized
the receipts since that time would have
been $7,500,000 less, or $12S,50O,00O. Notwith-
standing the reduction In taxes, the re
ooints hsivA diminished bv less than $3,000.-

AH the Symptoms
which are so generally complained of by
those afflicted with this disease stop
ping up of the nostrils, dropping of
mucus, tickling In throat, hacking cough,
etc. Every change In the weather gave
me cold, accompanied by ringing and
buzzing In the ears, and I would be un
able to hear distinctly. Gradually these
noises became more constant and annoy
ing, often changing to a roaring and pop
ping, and my hearing became impairea.
It was very difficult for me to distinguish
sounds or conversation. It grew worse

treatment to all sufferers, and will gladiy

whlle the expenditures have decreased by
over $17,000,000 for the same period.
"Up to the present time, however, the
accumulation of money In the Treasury,
which would be the natural effect at. this
time, has been more than overcome by
the purchase of bonds In the open mar
ket by the Government. During the last
three months there have been bought
bonds having a face value of $19,500,000,
for which over $24,000,000 was pam. ine
