BASEBALL NEVVSLETS. A Torunament Arranged to Be HeldJDur ing State Fair. The local baseball team seems doomed to defeat. They have come out second best in every game in which they hayc engaged with a neighboring team, Sunday afternoon the team suffered a defeat tit tho hands of the Woodburn nine, the score standing 21 to 7 In favor of the Woodburn team. But even In their defeat the members of the Salem team feel especially proud of the showing they made yesterday and tire especially pleased with the perform ance of each individual members of the team. There were but very few cr ros made by the boys, a fact that speaks well for the earnestness and perseverance of the players. A re turn game will probably be arranged to take place In Salem. The boys went to Woodburn Sunday forenoon and the game was called at 2:30 p. ui. At the end of the seyenth inning the score was even, but by some excellent batting the Woodburn team succeeded In 'making 14 tallies in the remaining two innings while the Salem boys were "fanned" out.

Washington, May 31. Tho Impres sion was general about the senate at the close of the tlrst weck'sdlscusslon of the tariff bill that the sugar sched ule would be reached toward thejcloso of the present week. The progress so far made, while it was much less tnaiktd Saturday than on previous days, Is generally regarded as little less than nhenotnc11.1l. as modern tsirlll Rebates go. Senator Vest declares that the pres ent bill is as far advanced now as was the Wilson bill after live weeks of dis cussion, while Senator Jones, of Ar kansas, asserts that as much of tho present bill was passed over on the Hist day of consideration as was dis posed of In the Wilson bill In threo weeks. The Republicans generally concede that good piogtess has been made, but they aie tint Incllnecd to felicitate themselves too much until they see what policy Is to bi pursued when questions of general Interest aro reached. The sugar schedule, In all probabil ity, will excite more prolonged unci animated debate than any other In tho bill. The Democrats arcctnaklng very extensive preparations for tho discussion of this schedule, and sev eral set speeches will be made upon it. The indications are that various other questions of general interest will bo considered in connection with the sugar duty. Senator Pettlgrew Is contemplating presenting his amendment against trusts In tht. con nection, and it Is certain that tho Hawaiian question will come to tho front In an amendment providing for the continuance of the reciprocity treaty with tho Hawaiian Islands. With reference to tho Hawaiian treaty there Is no longer much room for doubt that provision will be made to continue tho present treaty In ef fect. It Is probablo that this will be done by a direct declaration that nothing In the bill shall be con structed as abrogating the treaty. The Republican members of the com mittee arc contemplating this change. If Senator Pettlgrew lnblsts upon offering the trust amendment to the schedule, ho will precipitate one of tho most interesting debates of the session. The Republicans are not yet decided whether they will caucus on the sugar schedule, but there Is more or less talk to this ef fect. There're two schedules to be consid ered after the conclusion of that un der present discussion before the sugar schedule can bo reached. They arc tho metal and the wool schedule. The metal schedule Is not especially objectionable to the remocrats, icon talnlngas It does many of the Wll- fi0n low rates, but it Is more or less complicated, and will necessarily con- sume time. The wool schedule will dcvelopc no little antagonism on ac count the duty on lumber. There will be a quite determined effort to restore white pine lumber to the free list. Tho Tillman resolution for a sugar Investigation probably will be reported to the senate Tuesday. It will be passed without difficulty when taken up, according to tho present outlook, but Senator Tillman will find oppor tunity to make anothcrspcech If there Is any apparent effort at delay. Tho senate will not bo In besslon, having adjourned over on uccount of Decora- COG SS branch; the Northwestern branch, nt Milwaukee; the Western branch, nt Leavenworth, ana then to tho Pad Ho branch, at Santa Monica, Cnl PENSIONS.

MINOUS IN POSTOFFICES. The policy oi the postolllo depart ment as to the appointment of minors In the postoffice has been definitely fixed and they will be debarred from chief clerkships and deputy postmas tcrshlps, except In a few of tho third class offices, where circumstances urge their peculiar fitness. Even then they will not be allowed to become acting postmasters on account of tho legal declaration that contracts made by minors aro avoidable. This effectu ally bars them from being even tem porary postmasters, so far as the as sumption of the responsibilities of that office' arc concerned. An In stance is nt Madison, Ind., where M. G. Garber applied for the appoint ment of a person les than 18 years of age as chief clerk and deputy post master. An inquiry from the postmaster has deduced the statement that it Is not advlsablo for a town of the slzo of Madison, having abonta 12,000 pop ulation, to take such action. The de partment regards It us against pub lic policy, aud the Interests of tho ser vice to appoint minors, though ex cept as to acting duties of postmaster ships no legal inhibition of minors generally is cited. It was only a short time ago that a namo was sub mitted for postmaster at Oxford, 0.,a first-class offico, and tho recommend ations were of the strongest character, but It was found that the candidate was only 0 years old, and the namo was withdrawn from consideration. STATE HOUSE NEWS. Tho flags were at half-mast today, according to orders of tho was depart ment. O. E. Wintermolcr, of Eugene, is a guest of Assistant Secretary of Stato Carey E. Martin.
