KXHIBITIOX GAME.
Grlm'K Men Lost the Game on Errora
The Pitcher Were Eanal and It
Was a Fleldins Battle.
Jack Grlm's men saw visions of their
$200 jingling in the pockets of their Ta
coma opponents yesterday. The visitors
played an errorless game and 'scored
first blood in the series by taking the
game. 2-0. A faster and a more gingerly
exhibition has not been seen on the Port
land diamond this season. The players
were all up on their toes and the fielding
was clean. When a player mado an er
ror he -took a minute off and kicked him
self. The kicking was all done, however,
on the Portland nlde. Errors lost the
home team the game. If It had not been
for some costly xnlsplays thi two nines
would be playing yft. Neither nine could
touch up thj opposing pitchers. Eengle
and St. Train, and the battle was one of
fielder against lielder. The game was wit
nessed by a large and Impartial crowd
that cheered both sides alike when good
plays were made. Engle was given the
greatest aplause of the day when la the
eighth inning lie stopped a fierce line
drive of Flaunery's and doubled out Mur
dock at first. The ball was going like a
cannon ball from Flannery's bat, and
Engle held out his mit. There the ball
stopped.
There was no score up to the sixth In
ning. Both sides were fielding In fine form,
the players taking every chance and exe
cuting the plays faultlessly. Tacoma nar
rowly missed scoring in the first inning,
Lynch taking third on an overthrow of
first base by "Vlgneux after making a
fine catch of a foul fly. The next two
men "went out and Lynch was held jon
third.
In the sixth, with two men out, Salis
bury dropped Flannery's fly. The ball
had sailed up high, and Salisbury first
misjudged it and then made what ap
peared to be a good catch, but the ball
dropped to the ground. Flannery went
to second. He scored on Lynch's hit.
Mclntyre got his base on an error, and
Lynch went to third. "When Mclntyre
attempted to steal second Vlgneux re
turned the ball to Engle, who threw It
to Anderson, catching Mclntyre between
the bases. Lynch started to run on the
play but was caught at the home plate,
Anderson making a good throw. St.
Train scored the second run of the game
In the eighth. He sent out a pretty bunt
that Just missed Engle's paw, and Jake
Delsel went after it like a shot. Delsel
fielded the ball in good style, but he only
had a second to make the throw, and the
result was that it went over "Weed's
head. St. "Vrain tore around the bases
to third. McCarthy sent a hot ball that
Engle was unable to hold and St. "Vrain
scored.
Portland was no nearer than second
base of scoring in the whole game. In
the eighth Weed reached second on be
ing hit by a pitched ball and a steal, but
was caught between second and third.
Engle "knocked a ball to Mclntyre and
Weed was caught off second. He ran
back and forth- between the bases, but
Stultz sprinted after him and beat him
out from scratch.
The next game of the series will be on
Thursday.

CONTEST "WAS A FIASCO.
"Unsatisfactory Ending: of the Carter
"Walcott Fisrht.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15. The Carter
Walcott contest tonight before the Na
tional Athletic Club was a fiasco, and
terminated suddenly In the seventh round.
Walcott fell to his knees after a slight
mlx-up, raising the cry of foul, and claim
ing to have been struck below the belt.
Pandemonium reigned for a few. minutes,
and the police and spectators crowded into
the ring. The verdict of the club's
physician was that no foul blow had been
struck. The fight was awarded to Carter.
Walcott was able to walk from the ring
unassisted, and it was plainly evident
that he was shamming. -The blow that
really didsjthe work was a right uppercut
to the stomach. Up to this point Wal
cott had much the better of the contest.
Twice he had the Brooklyn lad going,
once in the fifth and again In the sixth
round. But the latter's -wonderful re
cuperative powers saved him from defeat.
There was much dissatisfaction over the
result, the general belief being that the
Barbadoes man had "laid down."
PRELIMINARY GO ARRANGED.
Mort Freeman and Kid Robinson
Will Box Ten Rounds.
Mort Freeman, of Spokane, victor over
Dick Johnson in 20 rounds, Dick Case
in 2 rounds, Bobby Dobbs twice in 8 and
13 rounds, .and Billy Patterson, has been
matched by the management of the Pas
time Club to box Kid Robinson, of Oma
ha, 10 rounds as a preliminary to the
Tracey-Smlth contest on the 25th Inst.
Robinson Is a late arrival from Califor
nia, and has fought and defeated many
good men, among them being Ben Woods,
Charley Johnson and Bob Thompson,
Tracey's late opponent. Both men are
colored middle-weights, and the match
has stirred up no little Interest among
their fraternity.
The principals for the contest are train
ing faithfully, and are both in first-class
condition. Crowds visit their quarters
daily, and one prominent sporting man
said yesterday:
"If I place any money on this contest, I
will toss a coin for choice, as I am unable
to pick for myself.
So evenly are the men matched that
hosts of others are in the same quandary.
Fake at St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 15. Clarence Ritchie,
of St Louis, won on a foul from Oscar
Garfdner, the Omaha "Kid," tonight In
the third round of what was to have been
a 15-round bout, before the Olympic Ath
letic Club. The go seemed as palpable a
fake as was ever pulled off in a ring, and
the crowd had been worked into a rage
long before the culmination of hostilities.
They yelled for their money back, and
when It was not forthcoming, left the hall
in high dudgeon.

M. Guntner, a special organizer of the
Woodworkers' Union, from Boston, ar
rested in Hornellsvllle and brought to
Jamestown, was finally taken to Mayville,

dictments. One charges him with being
a public nuisance, being based upon at
tempts of Organizer Guntner to bring on
a,, strike of the woodworkers in James
town during the latter part of the Sum
mer. The other Indictment accuses him

NEW TRIAL FOR MOLINEUX
GRANTED BY THE NEW YORiC
COURT OF APPEALS.
Judges Hold That the Loirer Court
Erred In Admitting Evidence as
to Another Alleged Crime.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 15. The -Court of
Appeals has granted Roland B. Mollneux
a new trial. Molineux was convicted of
the murder of Catherine J. Adams, in
New York City, and sentenced to death.
The court grants a new trial on a prevail
ing opinion written by Judge Werner, of
Rochester, his principal ground being that
the lower court erred in admitting evi
dence as to another alleged crime, the
death of Barnett, and thus merged two
Issues. Justices Parker, Haight and Gray
did not believe that the Barnett evidence
should be kept out of the case. Judge
Werner, Bartlett, Vann and O'Brien con
curred in the prevailing opinion and for
the expunging of the Barnett testimony.
The court gave out a condensed state
ment of the reasons for granting the
new trial. It says:
"Every member of the court of appeals
agrees for the reversal of the judgment
of conviction of Mollneux on the ground
that the trial court erred In receiving in
evidence the declarations of Barnett made
to Doctors Philips and Douglas that he
had received Kutnow powders through
the mall. All agree that since the amend
ment of section 2 of chapter 36, of the
laws of 1880, by chapter 65 of the laws of
18S8, genuine writings may be received in
evidence as standards of comparison with
a disputed writing, although such writ
ings may not be the issue on trial, but
simply a fact relevant and material to
that Issue; that the genuineness of such
writings must be established to the sat
isfaction of the court by common law ev
idence and when that is done," handwrit
ing experts may compare the disputed
writings with the genuine writings and
give their opinion thereon, but they can
not select and establish the standards
of comparison and then compare them
with the disputed writings..
"All writings proved to the satisfaction
of the court by a preponderance of evi
dence In civil cases, and beyond a reason
able doubt in criminal cases, (1) by wit
nesses who saw the paper written or to
whom It had been acknowledged; (2), by
witnesses familiar with the handwriting
of the person charged to be the writer
and who are able to testify from their fa
miliarity to a belief respecting its genu
ineness; (3), where the writing is shown
to have been recognized and acquiesced
in by the person to have written lt,or
adopted and acted upon by him, in his
business transactions or other concerns,
may, under' the statutes, be compared
with the disputed writing by witnesses.
But the court should refuse to receive in
evidence, solely for the purpose of com
parison, any writing otherwise prejudlcal
to the defendant."
NEW iYORK, Oct. 15. Up to 6 o'clock
this evening, Roland B. Mollneux, In Sing
Sing Prison, had not been informed that
he had been granted a new trial. Gen
eral Mollneux reached Ossining early in
the evening, but it was then too late for
him to go to prison, as the doors close
for the night at 5:30 o'clock. Warden
Johnson adhered to his decision not to
disclose the news to the prisoner until
officially notified from Albany.

the lawyers on both sides submitted to a
search this morning at the hands of

testified to nothing new. nor was the
testimony of Colonel B. H. Young, of
Louisville, the next witness, Important.
Colonel Jack Chlnn. who was with Goebel
when he was shot, was then called to the
stand. He gave a dramatic recital of the
shooting. Colonel Chlnn stated that he
started to draw his pistol after the second
volley of shots came, and that Goebel
tried to get his revolver from his pocket
as he fell wounded to the ground. Ephriam
DIHard was next Introduced, but his testi
mony was much the same as .that of Colo
nell Chlnn. Edward Steffey then told
of having seen a sun barrel protruding
from one of the windows in the Secre
tary of State's ofHce just before Goebel
fell. On cross-examination Steffey said
he did not know whether the rifle barrel
was pointing from Powers office or the
general reception room between his of
fice ard the Governor's office. Professor
C. E. Stevenson, of Barboursville, was
Introduced at the evening session, and
told of a letter he claimed to have re
ceived from Powers, and since lost or
burned, In which Powers said: "We are
honestly elected. They have it in for me
because I know more than any one else
and am responsible for the reorganiza
tion of the Democratic party. I am an
open advocate jf war."

RETURN OF ROCKHILL
COMMISSIONER ON HIS WAY TO
WASHINGTON WITH PROTOCOL.
He Does Not Anticipate Any Further
Outbreak in China Return of
the Court.
VICTORIA, B. C.L. Oct. 15. W. W.
Rockhlll, the commissioner who repre
sented the United States in the negotia
tions between the allies and China, ar
rived by the steamship Empress of Japan
on his way to Washington with a copy
of the protocol between China and the
powers, which" was recently signed by the
representatives of the various nations in
terested. He will proceed direct to Wash
ington by the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Affairs In China have resumed their nor
mal state, the Commissioner said in an
interview, and he did not anticipate any
further outbreak, buthere was no telling
what would happen In China. The so
called Insurrections in Kan Su and Man
churia, he said, were simply local upris
ings, which had been very much exagger
ated. Three hundred Chinese troops en
tered Pekln September 17, and the keys of
the gates were handed over to Prince
Chlng, with elaborate and brilliant cere
monies. All the troops were withdrawn,
with the exception of the legation guards
and the guards at the railway stations.
Since the Tien Tsln affair there had been
no trouble over the railway from the
coast to Pekin, which is controlled by the
British; in fact, the commercial Interests
seemed to be taking charge of the coun
try, and a commission was being organized
to conduct commercial negotiations with
China. This commission will revise the
treaties, and arrange for the opening of
more ports. The commissioner Is of opin
ion that the work of the commission will
bring about a much better state of af
fairs. The British and Chinese members
of the commission have already been ap
pointed, and the other nations have been
usked to name their representatives.
Before Mr. Rockhlll left Pekin the Chi
nese troops had commenced to police the
city.-- The poor, he said, had been bene
fited by the occupation, they having been
given work rebuilding the legations and
on other works, at wages which they had
never dreamed of, much less earned. On
the other hand, many of those who were
well off before the occupation had been
rendered destitute as a result of it. The
legation concessions had been greatly In
creased, and the British legation Is being
built in the form of a fort, with a moat
and guns mounted. The British got the
largest extent of land, but the Germans
and Russians also Increased their holdings
considerably. S
Mr. Rockhlll said he expected to hear
very shortly of the return of the court
to Pekin. When he left the Chinese capi
tal it was understood that they would be
back by October 6, but while in Japin he
heard that the time of the arrival had
been postponed. There was nothing In
the report that they would never return.
While missionaries were murdered and
tortured in other parts of China, Roman
Catholic missionaries had lived under the
protection of the court at Slngan Fu.
British officers and missionaries had vis
ited the court, and were very warmly re
ceived. The commissioner says many are
starving in the district in which Slngan
Fu is situated, but the reports of the fam
ine in other parts of the empire sent out
to the press have been greatly exagger
ated. The famine Is the result of the fail
ure of crops. As to the floods, Mr. Rock
hlll had no details further than already
published.
While Li Hung Chang retains his mental
vigor, he is breaking down physically.
He has a splendid appetite, but suffers
much from indigestion and high fevers.
His death would be a heavy loss to China,
as there is no man to take his place.
The Russians are having considerable
difficulty on the China-Manchurian rail
way on. account of the floods. They do
not allow officers of other nations into
the country, but have no objections to
civilians traveling through. Mr. Rockhlll
does not look for a boom when CMna Is
again settled, but ays the trade will be
enormous.
News "was received by the Empress of
Japan of further rebellions in China. A
pitched battle occurred September 30 be
tween the Imperial Chinese forces un
der General Tsen and a force of 7000 In
surgents near Hslnho, in Chi Li, 60 miles
south of Pao Ting Fu. Thirty rebels were
killed and the remainder fled. Several vil
lages were taken by the troops. In Chou
chou, a rebellion has also taken place
and the missionaries have been driven
outy At Klangshan several of the rebels
have been seized and beheaded. Mission
aries also tell of troubles in Kaingsi.
Many letters have been written to the
North China Dally News telling of the
risings In the vicinity, but giving few de
tails. The North China Daily News re
ports much military activity by Russia in
the north and states that a number of
troops have been sent south, where it is
believed they will be massed on the Co
rean frontier.
The Japanese Minister to Pekin, Mr.
Komoura, has returned to Tokoi and In
an interview he says that there are 40
000 Russian troops in Manchuria. He says
as soon as the Chinese Court is estab
lished at Pekin, the question of the evac
uation 'by Russia will be taken up. Rus
sia has offered China 5,000,000 taels for her
fleet of warships, according to the Shan
ghai Mercury. The same paper reports
that elaborate embroideries and expensive
silks are being sent In quantities to Kai
feng to celebrate the Empress birthday.
Many papers print reports that the re
turn to Pekin of the court has been
postponed for two years.
Wants Recession of Manchuria.
PEKIN, Oct. 15. Twice within a week
Li Hung Chang has visited PaulJLesser,
(Russian Minister to China). Chinese of
ficials assert that Earl LI has pressed for
the recession of Manchuria, M. Lesser
proposing that China should send a spec
ial envoy to St. Petersburg to arrange
terms and Earl LI suggesting for the mis
sloiv his greatest enemy, Chang Chlh
Tung. The story must be accepted with
some reserve.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Never Suspect It.
To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will Do
for YOU, Every Reader of The Oregonian May Have
a Sample Bottle Sent- Absolutely Free by Mail.
It used to be considered that only urin
ary and bladder troubles were to be
traced o the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder of
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body Is affected, and
how every organ seems to fail to do Its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin
taking the famous new discovery. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they will help all
the other organs to health. A trial will
convince anyone.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for many kinds of diseases, and
If permitted to continue 'much suffering
with fatal results are sure to follow. Kid
ney trouble irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and Irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the
day and obliges you to get up many
times during the night. Unhealthy kid
neys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the
back, joints and muscles; makes your
head ache and back ache, causes indi
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you
get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes
you feel as though you had heart trouble;
you may have plenty of ambition, but no
strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles. Is Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root, the world famous
kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root
you afford natural help to Nature, for
Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer
and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.
If there Is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it In
a glass or bottle and let It stand twenty
four hours. If on examination It Is milky
or cloudy, If there Is a brick-dust settling,
or If small particles float about in it, your
kidneys are In need of Immediate atten
tion. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and Is
used In the leading hospitals, recom
mended by physicians In their private
practice, and Is taken by doctors them
selves who have kidney ailments, be
cause they recognize In it the greatest
and most successful remedy for kidney,
liver and bladder troubles.

Values of Farm Lnnds.
Corvallis Times.
There Is certain to be an advance at no
distant day, In the price of land In the
Willamette Valley. In Illinois, farming
land sells at $100 per acre; In Eastern
Nebraska at $40 to $60 per acre. Not long
ago a section of fine, land within three
miles of Corvallis went for $3125 or a little
over $12 per acre. The Johnson Mulkey
tract of 320 acres within two and a half
miles of Corvallis sold at something less
than $18 per acre. Prices like the latter
In comparison with the $1C0 per acre of
Illinois and $60 per acre of Nebraska are
out of all proportion. The productiveness
of the Oregon land Is equally good and
probably better than that of Illinois. The
climate is far better, because Willamette
has no icy Winter, no torrid Summer.
Not Infrequently Oregon pastures are
green with new grass In midwinter while
the pastures of Illinois are white and
drear under a deep mantle of snow. For
natural production of any kind of stock,
the Willamette leaves Illinois, or any
other state In the Union, far In the rear.
Yet an acre of land In Illinois sells for
as much money as four or five or six acres
bring In Benton County. The values are
awry. They are unbalanced and unstable.
They are bound to adjust themselves.
Values, like water ultimately find their
level. It Is only a' matter of time, prob
ably a very short time, until Oregon lands
will take their place In line with land
values in other states. It will happen as
soon as Eastern people learn generally of
Oregon lands, their prices and their en
vironments. When It does happen, not a
few now eager to sell will regret that
their lands were not kept out of the
market.
