COOLER JUDGMENTS.
The Hot Headed Standard is Told
Some Facts by English Newspapers.

LONDON, Sept. 3.
The Pail Mall Gazette denounces the
Standard for its violent utterances on the
Lisheres question and charges the paper with
outraging the good feeling which ought to
exist between Great Britain and the United
States.
The Star, J. p O'Connor's paper. re-
minds the Standard that it has not followed
the example of the Canadian ministers who,
while vigorously defending the treaty, have
carefully refrained from embittering the con-
troversy by language of insult in which the
Standard revels. The American bark in
the stress of politics is worse than its bite.
1t does not doubt but that after the election
the fisheries question will be satisfactorily
settled.

That nothing is so uncertain as base ball
the game yesterday well illustrated. The
South Portlands had it well in hand till the
ninth inning, when the Augustus, by heavy
batting, made ten runs, winning the game
with long lead.
The Augustus, as usual, played splendid
nelding game and the batting of Belcher,
Freeman and Wilson was hard and timely.
The work of both batteries was excellent.
Robertson proved puzzler to the visitors
till the fatal ninth, when he was fouad at

Wilson did good work at third and Belcher
took everything that came in his way. Fol-

was caused this morning by the announce
ment of the death of d. W. L. Baldwin, one
of the most prominent physicians. 1t was
thought he had safely passed the crisis New
cases reported today are numerous. Sever
al physicians are not making reports to the
board of health, asserting that the posting of
yellow flags at the patients gates and pub
fishing the fact that they have yellow fever
has an injurious effect in frightening them
These physicians tell the patients they only
have a little bilious attack and treat them
for yellow fever. They say the disease
frightens more to death than it kills
Ii is now believed that the total number of
cases of fever not reported Is large aud
some conspicuous offenders will probably he
prosecuted. The. failure to stamp out the
disease in its incipiency was undoubtedly due
