TODAY'S GAMES.
Boston at Brooklyn.
Philadelphia at New York.
St. Louis tK Chicago.
Cincinnati at Pittsburg.
SCATTERED HITS.
Brooklyn wins again.
Eleven innings at St. Louis.
Hope for Pittsburg is shattered.
Jake Beckley in out of the game Willi
a sprained ankle.
It l.s a prehy race between Ctdcago
St. Louis. Cincinnati aud New York.
Pittlnger lost control in tiie eighth
inning and tilled the bases. That*
how Brooklyn won.
Pift-burg f ins were preparing to
give the Pirates a royal ovation an
pennant winner* but their work is
now tor naught.
Although Pittsburg's championship
chances have v'auisluii the P'lvite* de-
serve credit for the remarkable game
tiiey have put up in the past montu.
The National league pennant race
has be< u a beautiful one this season
mid has done much to revive intersat
in the great game. Next year ought
to be a banner season.
Comiskey's team was picked as an
aggregation of tuavy hitlers mid it
was expected that it would be by
stick work that it would gain the ma-
jority of its victories. 'Hu- fact that
not a man finished the season with a
batting average of more than .31 ai.
however shows another unexpected
haudioap which confronted Comiskey.
As a result “Coiumy" .was forced to
rely on his pit'tiers and il is to that
quart'lt of twiriesss—'Patterson. Fish-
er Katoll nnd Denner—that lie practi-
cally owes the ting.

New York Kept. 29.—A special to
tl.e Times from Washington says: If
the protest regarding lU* appointment
of Prince Tuan forwarded by Minister
Wu Ting Fang remains without 'ffict
aud Tucu Is kept in .the privy council
the United States will refuse to ne-
gotiate with (Ilina unless assurances
air given that the action of (he en-
voys shall not lx- subject io review
by the Chinese emperor.
This Is an unusual step (mt the cir-
cumstances of the vase are he.d to
make It neu‘s-ury. lu tbe ordinary
evurrp of diplomatic proceedings a
sovereign would have ti*’ right to ac-
cept or reject a treaty negotiated bj
his envoys if Tuan is kept in the
privy council It is certain that the
leave treaty would have to piss
through his hands in order to get to
tie' emperor and to prevent this the
( lilted States will insist that tin 1 em-
peror divest himself of all powers uy
making those of Prince Ching and
Kiri LI absolute.
When Cblug and Li were first ap-
poiuivd the Chlueke |Ki|iers uuuoum-
Ing their app. inlmeu; were somewhat
■ ambiguous. Some of tiie [aAvers were
told that Id and Ching wen* invested
wiKl fil l authority to negotiate peace
whll" others w ire told that th-ir pm-
< codings w. re subject to review by
tic pineror. It Is u'dared today tbit
Ilie Flitted Slates Insisted oil a d -unite-
nml 'rst.indiug wi:h the t"sult Hit the
powers of ( hing and Li wen- liroa ily
delitied l y the ( Siineir g> ver'iim ai.
Before legotlatlng. however the I n t-
id Slates will insist on having it
finitely understood that no p.qs'rs
sliall pass through the privy council.
Tlrts is all based on the nss-imptlici
that 111- (Iliu-se government will re-
fuse to dismiss the new privy coun-
cillor. It Is absolutely necessary tint
such a d'-mnn'd should be mnde for
the reason tbit Ilie first demand of
th' peace envoys will be for the <.e-
grudatUm of Tuan und Hr punishment
of t‘ie B 'Xer chiefs and it is eV drill . y
lIUP' ssible that such a demand slum d
tv Rirhnihusl to him for transmission
to the -mperor.
Nothing is known here of the ndeged
ippuintuimt of Wang Wen Chao to
succeed Tunn in Hie privy uneil.
Wang Dis tjettn descrllied ns fri"tidly
to tin- for signers and the fabriiatcd
-story about lie massacre’of the min-
isters in Pekin told how Wane was
killed at tie lend of his troon* while
bravely defending the legntimis. Nutio

Stale department and th • government
tticjils Inve no knowledge of his
views exuyt those obtained from the
reports sent in by the Shanghai cor-
respondents at th-.- time of the imag-
inary massoi-re.
Tbe u-port from St. Petersburg that
owing to the hostile attituik- of the
rhim so fl"et at Shanghai. Russia pro-
poses to blockade the Chinese naval
ports cr-ated much Interest at the
N'vy departm-nt and in government
eiivj's ponenilly today. As tlier«- is no
statement to the effect that it is io
lie preceded bv a deckiratlon of war.
p is assumed Hi • blo< knde proposed
i-omi-s under th- designation in inter-
national law of "pacific bioekad".' A
in 'itlc blockade is considered now-
tiling of nn anomaly and though its
justHTcation Is not reeognixed by some
writers of International kiw. has ucen
resorted to on tmveral o<'i«sions dur-
ing the past century and It is now
i- ognized os a m-asui- of constraint
short of -war. It Ims been insiituted

'•rnl powers sometimes of a single

sels and in other cases against on.y
t l„. v-s«ols of the nitlon concerned.
The penalt'i-s generally Clave been 'he
seizure and colitis.atiou of ih-> pruts
i»rtv and cargo of the offending nation
or seizure and detention.
If tl.e report from St. Petersburg
should prove to lie correct the suppo-
sition is that ns It is bated on the nl-
heg 'd activity of the Chim>so fl-et. the
blockade would be directed aga'nst

To Catarrh Sufferers.
Every petvou suffering from cntarrli
in its many forma knows that tbe
commou lotions salves mid doui'hea
do not cure. It ie needless <o argue
this point or to cite eases o* faibus'
becauat* every vletim of isitarrhul
I rouble knows It for himself If he lias
tried them.
A local application if it d<n« any-
thing at nil simply gives temporary
relief; a wash lotion. Mlve or pow-
der cannot reach «be seat of the dis-
ease wlii<-h is tbe blood.
The mneoiis membrane seeks to re-
jlieve the blood of catarrhal poison by
iseereiing large quantities of mucus
' the disiLarge sometimes closing up tlu*
nostrils descending Io (he liiruat anil
'larynx causing an irritating cough
jcontinual clearing of the throat deaf-
j nets. Indigestion and many other diu-
jagreeable and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really etui- ciitarrb must
Ibe an internal treatment; a remedy
I which will gradually cleanse the sys-
tem from catarrhal noison and remove
the fever mid congestion always pre-
sent in (be mucous membrms'.
The beet n-iuediM for iliis jiurposi'
nre Eucalyptol Smiguinaru mid Hy-
drnstin. but the dltllcuhy lias always
been to get these valuable curatives
combined In one palatable convenient
an! ertieicut form.
Recently this lias been accomplished
and the preparation put on the market
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; they nre large pleasant tast-
ing loaenges so that they may be
slowly ditMolved in tte luoutii thus
reaching every part of the mucous
membrane aud Unally (he stomach and
intestines.
tin advantage to lie considered also
is that Stu.-irt's Catarrb Tablets con-
tain no coixHim- morphine or poison-
ous nareolics so often found in ca-
tarrh powders and the use of which
often entails a habit more dangerous
than rhe disease.
Stuart’s Catartli Tablets an- sold by
druggists nt 30 cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
and most effectual catarrh euro mi the
market. 9 25 27 29.

EMPEROR DOWAGER IS I'l'.

Forces iu Pekin.
New York. September 29.— From the
m<r's of coiittleHng reports in circtila-
< on relative to China the admluitsira
ku bas Uitluced thes*.- facts says tbe
Washington eorresiMmdeut of the
Hera kJ:
That tbe return of the Im-
IftTial government to Pekin will not
.'be feasible until all the imperial pow-
ers give guarantee of prulectiou to the
empress dowager us well as to die em-
peror.
Tbnt the imperial government'whii i*
at this moment is the empress dow-
mrer. is still blubly favorable to the
Boxer movement though hope Is ex-
pressed that (lie information of the
i!-'gradation of Prince Tunn is correct
jus in such event this government will
i Is l nl>k- to act to preserve Chinese ter-
ritorial entity. TW ntnte depart
neui understands however that
Shene i* authority for tbe news of
I‘rlmv Twin's appointment on grand
secretary.
Tliat all the powers except the Ua-
ihtl States propose to retain in Pekin
a considerable force not so much to
preserve order us to watch over the
Intetists of their respective govern-
ments and that none of the powers
notliwitlistanding (lie withdrawal of
Aiuerictin troops from China ecnteni-
pkite taking steps iu di? same direct-
ion.
This government has no <Us|>ositiou
physically to punish the empress dow-
ager und when peace uegotiutious are
inaugurated Minister Conger will be
authorized to extend American pro-
tection to her. as lie will do in the
case of tin* emperor. LI Hung Chnng

A GRANT SOUVENIR.
One Thut Shows tils Disposition as a
CadeL
New York September 29.—C01.
Mills the xuperiuletident of the mili-
tary academy at West Point has ac-
cepted an offer from B. F. Stevens
the United States district ageux at
London to present a most interesting
souvenir of Gen. Grant’s cadet life
to the library of that iustifution.
When (bo famous class of 1843 was
at West Point it was furnished by
John DeWitt with supplies which were
nc«. considered satisfactory. There
was a revolt against the sutler and the
tuemlMTs of the class united in a dec-
laration of independence agreeing to
purchase nothing from him jjfxer date
except what bad been previously or-
d'rod. Tills declaration was signed
by U. S. Grant. Geo. B. McClellan. Ru-
ftM Ingalls. .1. J. Jones Reynolds. IV.
K. Van Bokkelen Geo. Stevens and
other members of the class. The or-
iginal document witii the signatures
in water colors will be Imtuled over
to Superintendent Mills for preservat-
ion at West Point not as an otiject
lesson in discipline but "for its historic
and peraonal interest.

Succeeding Day.
Pottsville. 'lll.. Hepteafter 29.—The
conviction Is growing that il will be
next impossible to settle tbe strike
ou auy basis not ineluding a recogui-
(lon of the United Mine workers. Tbe
strike was ordered amt sifiisequeutly
managed by the leading leaders of this
organization.
The Rtrikeix nre following almost
unanimously the advice mid mandate*
rf these leaders and it i* generally un-
derstood here that the men will not
go tack to the mines until they get
word to do so from Minliell.
In rhe vlciulty of Shamokin a num-
ber of men representing the operator*
have been making effort to have Hie
men promise to return to work on Oct-
ober Ist. Few if any such promises
were secured and most of (lie min-
ci’s improached loolpsl upon the off-
ers of the mine owners to make cer-
tain concessions as a sgiu of weaken-
ing.
in the lower section of the Schuyl-
kill region the story Amt negroesjvere
lo be inqiortcd from Virginia to rake
the places of the strikers has been re-
vived and cutaducraibly dha-ussed. A
rumor wns current (hat some of the
operatom had actimlly arranged with
agents of men In Virginia who make
n business of supplying negro lalwr.
to import a large number of colored
men here to work in the mine*. Mine
owners and strike leaders pronounce
'lie story ridiculous. In the tlrst place |
they say. incxperienistl negroes or
j white men. for itiat matter would lie
almoit worthless in the mines and
il would require a long time to make
up any large body of such men use-
ful in cutting coal. In the next place
even the mine owners admit that such
a movement would precipitate almost
a revolution which woqld not only in-
volve the negroes and strikers but all
(he workingmen of this state.
A complete tie up of tin- Schuykill
collieries possibl. excepting the three
mines in tbe West End is hi sight.
About four hundred cars of coni were
mined in the Schuylkill region fester-
dsy. This is the smallest day’s pro-
duct ion in years. Dealers made many
offers for coal at the mines at prices
representing an increoxe over the offers
made yesterday. For some grades au ;
increase of 25 cents a ton over the I
prices of yesterday was offered.
There is. however virtually no coal
iu the market at the mines that luansl
tiavlng been disposed uf before it w is
ent. and none of the operators would
contract to deliver.
