QUICKSTEP TROUBLES.
PLAYERS GROWING AT MAN
AGER WATT.
SCORES OF SATURDAYS GAMES.
The Quictsteps, with One Exception Play
Fine Game with the Ross Nine
Changes In Contemplation.

Saturday afternoon at Chester the Quick
step administered crushing defeat to the
Ross club. The home club certainly played
q great game both In the field and at the
bat. Every one played well except McKenns,
who played miserable game, which could
scarcely be digniied by the name Of amateur
playing. Every run made by the Ross was
through the kindness Of McKenna. He had
five passed balls and two visible errors. The
Quickstep did some excellent batting. All
except Smiley having one or more hits.
Bresnaham made rattling three bagger,
and Benners and Parker two bags
new player is credited with two hits and two
runs. Dorr pitched great game of bali, no
less than IL Ross men having three strikes
called on the y. Benners at first filed the
position admirably and Albert played ex
cellent at short. The umpire was
curiosity, making some queer de-
cisions on both sides. In the fourth in
ming the catcher of the Ross had what
would have been o passed ball, the ball
bouncing out of his hands and striking the
umpire on the head, thus stopping it In its
course, Parker was on third and Of course
home. The catcher run up to Par
ker and touched him and the umpire
declared him out. Captain Bresnaham m re-
was removed or the decision reversed, con-
siderable talk ensued and finally at the d.
rection Of Manager Waitt play was resumed.
For the Ross, Streets caught
we'll, and Taylor at short, played
an excellent game, Higgins with last
years Our Boys played good second, but
was weak at the bat. The game throughout
was interesting, the score standing to Q
in favor of the Ross up to the sixth
inning, when the Quickstep, by terrific
batting, went away ahead. The following is
the score in detail:

RESISTING AN INCREASE.
Chicago Papers Combining to Oppose
Proposed Advance for Type Setting.


Proposed Advance for Type Setting.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Last Wednesday at
meeting of the Typographical Union vote
was taken upon resolution to increase the
rate of composition of this city. 1t was de-
cided that an advance b made from 81 cents
per 1000 ems to 40 cents on evening papers,
and from 40 cents to 45 cents per 1000 ems
for morning papers. meeting of the
Union was held to-day, when iC was re-
solved that the new scale OF prices should
go into effect July Q. The proposed increase
in the price of type setting has excited a
good deal OF discussion among employers
and men.
Four of the daily newspapers. the Times,
Tribune, Inter Ocean and Nea0s, have held a
meeting and determined to resist any ad-
vance. A part OF the plan of combination
and organization is said to be this An
amount of money, representing, as nearly as
may be, the amount which the increase,
should it be conceded, would take out of
their several exchequers annually, is to be
paid In at ono to a common treasury. 1t
will be used in fighting the Union and in try
ing to cause them either to recede or dis
band altogether. The amount which this
treasury win come into possession of is es-
timated at $50, 900. The Herald has agreed
to pay the demands of the Union.

THE MIssOuRI FLOODS.
Millions of Feet of Lumber In Danger--Im-
ped ed Railroad Travel.

PED cd Railroad Travel,
ST. LOUIS, June 24.-The river is still rIs-
ing at this point, but more slowly than here
tofore. In the lumber district large gangs
of men are still working on the levees and
dykes which protect the different yards, and
SO far none of them have been flooded. A
rise of another foot, however, will inundate
all of them and 10000, 900 feet of lumber
will be surrounded by from two to eight feet
OF water. Should this dreaded extent occur
it is expected that fully one-half of this
lumber will be upset, in which case great
quantity of 1t no doubt would be foated
away and lost.
At Alton, a slough about 20 miles above
here, among some islands in the Mississippi
river, which is used as place of deposit for
lumber, about 30,000,000 sawed boards, In
RATS, are moored; and while the slough is
reasonably secure, considerable apprehen-
sion is felt lest the RATS should be broken
and swept away.
In East st. Louis proper the situation Is
about unchanged. The Bowman dyke still
protects the business section, but outside
there is watery waste. Early to-day the
water which broke through the Madison
dyke yesterday reached a point Just above
Venice aud made fearful crevasse in the
. Chicago and Alton embankment. About
900 feet of track sank and disap-
peared in an instant and the gap has
widened ever since. Parallel with this en-
baukment run the Indianapolis and St.
Louis and the Wabash tracks, which also
went down after the Chicago and Alton, and
thus cut off all direct rail connection with
the North. These breaks gave the water
an easy exit East, and all day a rapid cur
rent has passed out toward the bluff. The
water is now spreading all over the bottom
| land north of the old Ohio and Mississippi
embankment, which crosses between East
| ST. Louis and Caseyville
Probably no attempt will be made to re-
| pair the embankment until the water re-
cedes. Meantime the Chicago and Alton,
the Burlint ton and Quincy and the Indian
apolis and st. Louis roads will convey pas
| sengers to and from st. Louis and Alton by
steamers, and trains for the North and East
will be made up at Alton The Wabash
will use the Vandalia and Illinois Central
line to Decatur, whence they can use their
| own road.

SUNK AT SEA,
Collision of the Hurunui and Waitara-
Twenty-Five Drowned

1WoDJy-nNo DFOWn0us
LONDON, June 24-The British passenger
vessels Hurunui and Waitara, belonging to
the New Zealand Shipping Company, came
into collision off Portland on Friday night
and the Waitara sank In two minutes.
Twenty-Five persons were drowned. The
Hurunui Immediately launched her boats,
which rescued 16 persons struggling in the
waves.
Among these was lady, a saloon passen-
ger, to whom a sailor. who was saved, had
given up his life telt Two other Laloon
passengers were also saved All the second
class and steerage passengers were lost. The
captain of the Waitara was dragged aboard
the Hurunui with the aid ofropes.
The two vessels left London together on
Friday. The Hurunui struck the Waitara's
end on just In front of the saloon ON the
starboard side. The survivors state that no
crash was heard, but that the side OF the
Waitara gave way like cardboard. They
say that more of the passengers might have
been saved had bark and steamer, which
were seen near by, needed the Waitara's
signals of distress.
The Waitara was an iron ship of S33 TONS
She was built in 1895. The Hurunui is also
an iron ship.
