NO OPEN POLAR SEA tended by exciting Incidents. It was necessary to charge the heavy Ice drifts, blast them with dynamite and saw a channel through the Ice. The America was caught In a violent Ice field; 'her screw and rudder were twisted and her propeller frame wis broken. The expedi tion had another exciting experience In a pack farther south. Two members of the expedition, unarmed, and upon a pony sledge, were set upon by huge white bears. The pony bolted, and the men were defenseless. With great presence of mind they clambered on top of an Ice berg, and escaped on the other side to the ship. Mr. Baldwin described fights be tween dog teams and herds of walrus.

He allowed nine hits while he was In the game, and In the sixth he had to be replaced by a wild Irishman by the name of McBIrney, who played ball like a camel. The change was not bene ficial, however, and when the end came the Tigers landed with a thud and the score -stood 11 to 5. Manager Andrews balltossers were a sad outfit when they walked off the dia mond, and the words of admonition that were used by the Tacoma magnate were seasoned neither with speculation nor sympathy. It Is to be hoped that they will play better ball today, and that Mr. Andrews will have no occasion to get out of patience again. Portland's Game From Start. The game was like unto that of the day before, for it was the Webfooters' from the start. Tacoma didn't get a ghost of a chance In the first, but when the locals came up In front of the Tacoma pitcher, Johnson, they made their presence felt. Muller hit a grounder and went out at first, and Van Buren, much to ' his own and everybody else's surprise, knocked a beautiful three-bagger. He ran like a sandhill crane, and had the general ap pearance of a clock tower on legs, but hie. made his third, all right, and waited a moment till Weed "knocked a grounder, and then flew along.home for the first run of the game. For two Innings nobody got past first, but In the fourth Rockenfleld, he of home run fame, hit hard and made his first with ease. Then Hutchinson hit for two bases and Rockenfleld came home for Tacoma's starting tally. Vigneux's gang was not to be outdone, however, and they didn't like to see marks In Tacoma's column, so they took a brace and got a leadagain. Andersdn knocked a short grounder, and it beat him to first by several minutes,' . but Hutchinson dropped It and Andy waa safe. He went on to second on Stovall's sacrifice, and while he was waiting there for a chance to steal, Sammy knocked a fine two-base hit, and Andy came home for score No. 2. Murdock flew out, and Delsel made an ap parently safe hit, for when Fisher tried to nab it he sat down. The Tacoma man was up in his business, however, and with lightning action he got It to first and Jake went out. Tight Place In the Sixth. Murdock pulled the locals out of a very tight place In the sixth with a wonderful left-handed catch of a high fly to right garden. Letcher hit,. and went to second while Nagel was going out at first Rock enfleld was hit by a pitched ball, so that two men were on bases when Hutchinson came up. He flew out, but Andrews hit a grounder to Kostal that was dropped by Stovall when It wa's thrown to first. This let Letcher score, and a moment later Del sel fumbled a ball from McCarthy's bat and let Rockenfleld go home. With two runners, on the bags, Fisher knocked a high fly that started to come down about two feet Inside the foul line at the right fence. AH the runners started around, feeling sure of two bases, but by the hardest kind of sprinting Murdock got near It and grabbed it with his left hand behind him. Mr. Fisher went out. The fireworks opened up for Portland in the last half of the same inning, and the fun lasted for some little time. Sto vall made a hit and Sammy went to first on balls. Murdock came to the bat, and the crowd cheered him for his great catch a moment before. It seemed to nerve him up, and he hit for first and went down there with the speed of the wind. Delsel hit and Stovall scored. The bases were full, and when Kos"tal hit Vlgneux and Murdock came In on the hike. Uncle George WItbeck did the coaching, and handled the men on bases with good judg ment. Then Muller came to the bat and made the longest hit of the day, a three bagger to left field, and Delsel and Kostal scored on It Van Buren got first on four balls, and Muller stole home, with score No. 6 In that Inning. Weed had two strikes on him when Andrews thought that Johnson had pitched long enough, and he sent him out, at the same time calling for a new twlrler. A short, curly haired individual appeared and waddled out to the box, and the crowd howled, "Who, Is it?" Umpire McCarthy asked him his name, and then announced, "Mr. BIrney." His Xnnie Was McBIrney. The new pitcher yelled to the umpire, and then came the new announcement, "Mr. McBIrney." Mr. McBIrney smiled and then began to pitch. He curled up, then uncurled, and then sent the ball wide. Weed made a swipe at It and mlsse. and McBIrney smiled again and the spectators yelled again. Weed gave the bat to Anderson, who sent a grounder to third, and Van Buren went out there and Andy went out at first, the Tacoma people making a neat double. Zalusky went In for Tacoma and went out at first. Then the new pitcher stepped up, and It -was discovered that the stock ings he wore were not mates. The crowd thought that this was funny and began to laugh, and McBIrney smiled for the third time. He hit the ball a rap, but It was waiting for him at first when he got there, and walked mournfully back to the bench, without a smile. "Your socks are out of tune!" said some wit "They are a hoodoo," said a second voice, but the son of the sod went to his seat Tacoma made two In the eighth that AB. R. H. PO.

TO REWARD ARMY OFFICER General Chaffee Recommends Medal of Honor f dr Williams. WASHINGTON. kSept 20. Lieutenant Kenneth P. Williams, First Infantry, has been recommended by General Chaffee for a Congressional medal of honor for his skill and bravery In leading the relief ex pedition to the rescue of the marine de tachment which completed the now fam ous march across the Island of Samar. A nbteworthy portion of General Chaffee's letter reads as follows: "Not again In your military career, nor in that of the men accompanying you on this arduous undertaking, will conditions likely arise that will render you the op portunity of rendering such unread-of and never-to-be-forgotten services to your country "which entitles you to greater thanks and to the Nation's grati tude." Rear-Admiral Rogers' letter states that "the marine detachment would undoubt edly have perished to a man, had It not been for the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant Kenneth P. Williams."

Evelyn B. Baldwin, of the Baldwln-Zelgler Arctic expedition, arrived in London today on hl3 way home. Ho gave extended details of the technical Interest to the Arctic navlga tlon, telling of the work accomplished TRIP OF ANOTHER EXPLORER. Sverdrnp Tells of His Experiences in i Xorth Greenland. CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Sept 20. Cap tain Otto Sverdrup, who reached Stavan ger yesterday from the Arctic region on the steamer Fram, In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press gave the following details of his expedi tion: "I spent the Winter of 1S9S-99 in Winter quarters at Ellesmere Land, whence scl entlflc expeditions were started with sledges. The Summer of 1899 was unfa vorable, and the Fram was obliged to re turn and pass the Winter at Ellesmere NEW TAMMANY HALL LEADER. '''kQs&HLj -.JisssBBBsissssssmcL,? CHARLES F. MURPHY. Charles F. Murphy was made leader of Tammany Hall through the ac tion of the executive committee Friday night By a vote of 29 to 9 it was decided that the committee of three heretofore acting as the head of Tammany Hall was too cumbersome. Feeling trie need of one responsi ble head, the delegates elected Mr. Murphy to that position, with full powers formerly In the hands of the committee of three. and the stations established. Mr. Bald win believes1 the North Pole may be reached. On this point he said: "The old idea of an open Polar Sea Is baseless. We know that land extends as far as 82 degrees on the Franz Josefland, and from there I believe the North Pole may be reached. I agreo with Peary that the most practicable way of reaching the pole is by sledging from that point" The stations established by the Baldwin party are located as follows: The most southerly station Is on Alger Island, 18 miles north of the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition's former headquarters. A sec ond station Is on Grcely Island, close to the 81st parallel, near a large Island which was charted last Spring and named President McKInley Island. Thlrty-flve miles farther north is a third station equipped with E00O pounds of condensed food, on an Island discovered but not yet named. A fourth and most northerly station was established on Rudolph Land within sight of the headquarters which were occupied by the Duke of Abruzzl's expedition. It contains all the condensed stores originally intended for a dash to the pole. The expedition, for the first time in polar explorations, Mr. Baldwin added, secured complete photographic records of the snow and Ice conditions of the regions there. They Include moving pictures. Hns Xnnsen'n Record. Mr. Baldwin gave an interesting ac count of his Journey to Cape Norway, where he came upon Dr. Nansen's hut, the place where Nansen and Johansen spent their historic Winter. The hut was partly gnawed by foxes and bears. Dr. Nansen's record was Intact It was found In a brass cylinder, and was dated May 19, 1896, and written in pencil on half a sheet of notepaper. Mr. Baldwin has Nansen's record, and left his own record In Its place. Later, the America, Mr. Baldwin's ship, was In Immediate peril of belnff crushed by Icebergs, but es caped by putting on all available steam. While In the Arctic regions, Mr. Bald win released 300 balloons which were driven northward, and may later furnish data regarding air and sea currents. Each balloon has attached to it an automatic buoy addressed to the "Nearest American Consul." An Exciting Stnrt for Home. The expedition's start for home was at- Land. A great part of the surrounding region was mapped out "There was a serious Are on board the Fram In May, 1900. It was started by sparks from the funnel, and spread to the kyaks (Arctic canoes), which were smeared with parafilne for their protec tion. The rigging and masts caught Are and the total destruction of the vessel was threatened, but we succeeded In mastering the flames. "In August, 1900, we traversed Jones' Sound and Cardigan's Strait, and took up Winter quarters at 76:4S North and 89 West. The region was rich In reindeer and polar wolves, of which we brought back living specimens. The following Winter was more than ordinarily cold and stormy, the average temperature being 45 degrees below zero. Sledge expeditions occupied the Spring and Summer of lfOl and the early part of 1902. On August 6 the Fram succeeded In breaking away from the Ico, and arrived at Goodhaven August 18. We left Cape Farewell home ward bound August 23." Captain Sverdrup added that the mem bers of the expedition met no Eskimos In the regions visited, but he said .many of their dwellings belonging to former peri ods were seen.

EDGAR P. HILL, Chairman. R. L. SABIN, Secretary and Treasurer. Their Xon-nepeal Will Endanger Both Republican Party and Pro tective System Anent the Dec- t linntlon of Henderson . HILLSBORO, Or., Sept 20. (Special)-. Representative Tongue, who has Just re turned from the State Fair, when asked today to state his views !n reference to the refusal of Speaker Henderson to be-i come a candidate for Congress, said: "Personally, I regret the action of Mr. Henderson very much indeed. He is a veryj able man, a wise counsellor, a safe leadec' and has a strong, magnetic personality. Aa a presiding officer he has given great satis faction to both sides of the House. In sentiments and principle he Is largely a Western man, being very friendly to tho Western portion of the United States. The loss of his service is a National misfor tune. "I regret to see the disposition to abuso him by people who do not agree with, him. He is a conscientious man, clean and patriotic. If he really believes that he could not properly represent the con victions of the people of his district, there was nothing for him to do but to decline to be their Representative. From the dis patches, however, I am not able to see that the differences were so great. The Iowa platform admits where the tariff shelters monopoly It should be removed. This Is good Republicanism. I do not understand that Speaker Henderson disagrees with this declaration of principles. The issue between hlrn and some of his constituents seems to be one of fact whether thero are tariff schedules that shelter trusts. That can be settled upon careful examina tion. It might be true today. It might not be true when the next Congress meets. Conditions constantly change. "Speaker Henderson thinks there are no schedules of the DIngley law that should be changed. Now, there are a great many Republicans who do not agree with him on this point Strong indications are that -ome of these schedules could well be changed with beneficial result to the American people. My own views upon this question were fairly well expressed over a year ago In a letter to the American Economist. They were expressed again in a letter to Mr. Babcock last Spring, which was made public through the press. Isald then in substance that where tariffs upon productions are not needed for either revenue or protection, where the Indus tries producing these goods are capable of withstanding all foreign competition, are outstripping all foreign competitors In their own domain and rapidly capturing the markets of the world, and the tariffs serve no purpose but enabling the corpor ations controlling the productions to ex tort unreasonable rrlces from the home consumer, while gelling cheaper abroad than this, tariffs should be repealed at once. This should be done not to destroy but to save protection. Such tariffs are the enemies not the friends of protection. I expressed the opinion then and enter tain it now that unless the Republican party does remove such tariffs within a reasonable time, wherever they exist, and where the Indications are that they- are permanent, both Republican success and the protective system will be endangered. "As to the effect of Speaker Hender son's action upon the success of the Re publican party. I think there is a great deal of exaggeration. It 13 scarcely noa slblc that the Democratic party Is going to make an Issue of the resignation of Speaker Henderson. He has withdrawn himself from being an Issue. On the other hand, his withdrawal will rob the Demo cratic party of a very large portion of Its political ammunition. His withdrawal Is a recognition of the fact that tariff re form will be carried on within the Repub lican party Itself. It will have a tendency to retain within the party that class of men, largely Gold-Standard Democrats, who are restless under some of the pro visions of the DIngley bill, but who are willing to abide with the Republican party If thero Is to be a tariff reform within a reasonable time by that organization. YANKEES LEAD BRITISH. Bcresford Finds Many Xew Thins on American Battle-Ships. NEW YORK. Sept. 20. Admiral Lor Bcresford, of the British Navy, has been entertained at luncheon by Admiral Bark er, Commandant of the New York Navy Yard. Admiral J. C. Watson, president of the Naval Examining Board; Admiral Hlg glnson. Admiral C. E. Clark, Governor of the Naval Home at Philadelphia; Admiral J. B. Coghlan, of the Brooklyn; Captain P. F. Harrington, of the Navy-Yard; Cap tain W. H. Bronson, of the Alabama; Cap tain W. H. Emory, of the Indiana; Lieu tenant E. W. Eberle, Admiral Barker's aide, and Colonel R. M. Thompson, re tired, of New York, were the other guests present The value of naval "maneuvers was the topic of discussion. After luncheon the party set out to visit Admiral HIgglnson's flagship, the Kearsarge. Admiral Beres ford examined her minutely, and expressed great surprise at the electrical devices. "We have nothing like them on our ships," he said. "You Americans are certainly in genious." The superimposed turrets, which are pos sessed by the Kearsarge and her sister snip, the Kentucky, claimed a large share of his attention. None of the English ships are similarly equipped, he said. STovel Means to Liberate Spalding:. CHICAGO. Sept. 20. Novel means wero used today In an effort to secure the lib erty of Charles Warren Spalding, ex president of the Globe Savings Bank and treasurer of the University of Illi nois, convicted of embezzling University funds. Judge Dunne, who has for some time been considering a writ of habeas corpus In the case, was preparing to read hl3 decision, which was understood In advance to be adverse to the prisoner, when Attorney W. G. Anderson stopped proceedings by making another petition before Judge Hanecy. New evidence will be produced In behalf of the banker pris oner, who has been fighting for freedom for six years. Good conduct has been the principal plea for freedom, but some time ago the State Board of Pardons refused to grant him liberty because it was be lieved he still held a portion of the em bezzled funds of the university.
