TOO LATE.
The Dominion Militia Forwarded by a
Route Alive With Hostile Indians.

NEw YORK, July "a.
Too late the militia department has discov-
cred that they have made mysterious blum
der in sending troops up the Skeena river,
which has to be undertaken in canoes
through country reported to be literally
alive with hostile Indians armed with repeat
ing rifles and strongly entrenched all along
the river in high bluffs, which bound it on
either side
The Mass river route would have taken the
expedition through country not infested
with hostile Indians, up to within Il short dis
tance from where it was expected the first
engagement would take place.
1t is stated by traders recently from the
scene of trouble, that the Indians are active
ly preparing to resist an attack, and have en-
trenched themselves all along the river, from
which position twenty Indians could wipe out
the whole detachment without fear of losing
man.

Makes the Proud Bird Hang His Head
But He Will Not Keep 1t There Long

The home team cannot expect to beat al
ways, and along with a large percentage o.
victories must be prepared to meet with oc-
casional defeat. Yesterdays game was Il
slugging match in which the home team
excelled, but lost the game through fail.
ure to bunch their hits. They were unforu-
nate in losing a number of close decisions on
bases. Their base running was, with one or
two exceptions, deploraby weak, and in
marked contrast to the daring work of the
Portlands. A little practice in this direction
will wear OFF the timidity shown yesterday
and make the boys strong in this direction.
Nearly all are good Sprinters, and there is
no reason why they should not excel in this
department of the game. The home team
was terribly weakened by the absence of
Underwood, who was unable to pitch owing
to a sprained thumb. All the boys, too, will
feel stronger when Captain Freeman gets
back on the nine, which will probably be in
the next game.
Considering the heavy batting, both sides
felded well. Webster's work, both at short
stop and behind the bat, won very general
praise. Rogers did some fine stick work,
and his three base hit was the longest which
has been made on the home grounds the
present season.
Brown of Bath occupied the points for the
home club, and was batted hard at times,
the Portlands being fortunate in punching
their hits. Brown has many of the points of
a crack pitcher, but is weak in an inability
to throw the overland drop, without which
no pitcher in these days can expect to attain
the highest degree of effectiveness The
next time the Augustus play they will proba-
bly, have their full strength, as it is expected
that Underwood and Captain Freeman will
both be able to play at that time.
Below is the tabulated score:
