TACOMA NEWS.
Politicians Laying Plans to Capture
the State.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE REviEwl
TACOMA, Aug. 23.-The delegates from
the constitutional convention ut Olympia
will leave the capital at III O'Clock ON the
steamer Multn0mah for Tacoma and
reach here in time to catch the trains
and boats for all directions. Special ar
rangenients have been made to provide
them with every accommodation to
reach their homes with the smallest
delay by rail and steamer.
The lobby of the Tacoma hotel Is to-
night crowded with returned delegates
from the convention, and the politicians
are all discussing the constitution and
and democrats profess to be hopeful of
the results of the election, but the latter
complain that the faithful, especially
east of the mountains, are not coming
forward with the Becessary funds, while
the national committee has absolutely
gone back on them.
At one time there was talk of tho
democratic party attempting to defeat
the constitution at the polls, but this has
been abandoned, and there will be u full
state ticket nominated Ivy that party.
The sixth annual concert and ball of
the Tacoma, OH Tuesday next, promises
to be the greatest success of the series.
There has been an unprecedented call
for tickets from Portland Seattle and
to be devoted to the Fanny Paddock
hospital building fund, and Manager
Tyler has arranged for one of the
best concerts ever heard on the Sound ,
and, of course, the menu will be excel
lent.
Charles S. Fee, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Northern Pacific rail-
way company, was here to-day In con
sultation with Assistant General Pas
sengcr Agent Charlton.
An effort is being made 10 cover the
Gilt park adjoining the Tacoma hotel,
the only down town breathing place,
with I'm armory, and the city council is
being pctitioned to surrender the
ground 10 company for that purpose,
free of all expense. There is II strong
probability that the present council may
be induced to grant the request of the
petitioners, as this is almost the only
piece of city property that they could

WAsHINGToN, Aug, 23.-Aciing Indian
Commissioner Belt has received u telc-
gram from Agent Roman, of the Flat
head Indian Agency in Montana, in
which he says the trouble with the
Flatheads at nemorsville, which is 100
miles from the agency and oil the res
crvation, was undoubtedly caused by
whisky. The Indians, he saws, buy
from the people ut the head of Flathead
lake all tic liquor they can pay for and
drunkenness Is very frequent among
them. One Indian has been killed. The
agent is making an investigation.
Tho Indian bureau has received
through Indian Agent Cole Mt the Col.
vile, w. r., agency, reply from Special
tive to the arrest of certain Indian muir
derers on the Colville reservation. The
special agent in his letter to the agent
says that after learning that only the
territorial courts have jurisdiction in
such cases, he made complaint to Dis
trict Attorney Jones, who refused to
prosecute on the grounds that he did
not think that if arrested and held to
appear any grand jury could be found
that would report true bill against one
Indian for killing another, Us such an
act was
nor PARTICULARLY OBJECTIONABLE
or unpopular with the white people of
Stevens or adjacent counties, hence il
would be mourning much legal expense
without any beneficial results. In fact,
hc (Jones) could not see that IL was u
matter of any concern to- the taX-paying
citizens so long as white persons were
not killed. The Indian bureau officials
will take such action as will be necessary
to enforce the laws for the protection of
the Indians within the jurisdiction Of
Colville.

Collins and Mcmahon. the American battery.
who, while with the Key West Club during the
past month or more. made 80 fine a record ar
rived home on Wednesday. THE SUN reporter
say Collins yesterday. and some very interest
ting facts were learned regarding base ball In
Cuba. When the American battery went TO
Key West 1t was intended that they should stay
with that club until spring and an extended
trip through Cuba had been planned. The
scheme fell through for the reason that tho
yellow fever prevented the organizing OF clubs
IN the South. and other complications prevent
Cd their games from being successful
He was in Cuba three weeks, and during
that time he played In several games. You
talk about the life Of an umpire being hard.
Well, you should have been In my place In the
Game that we played on New Years Day. We
won with ease but SO great Was the feeling
that had to be taken Off the field by the
police Mcmahon made fine record. In four
Of tho hardest games that we had to play he
struck out seventy men. The batsmen down
there didn't seem to be able to do anything
with his curves, and they Just famed the air.
sThey have several prices OF admission to
the games. One can get q seat in the sun for
thirty cents. Where there is little shade
thrown in 1t costs fifty cents grand stand
scat will stand you in 81. while n box that seats
six persons costs 81. However. forty cents In
our money Is equal to 81 down there; 1t will
buy as much. at least. One Of the great draw
backs to the national game in Cuba is that tho
Government levies "a tax OF $66 in gold for
every game that Is played. and 1t has to be
paid. no matter whether that much money is
{aken in at the gate or not | understand that
more than anything else, and to encourage bull
lights, upon which there Is no tax.
As far rs could see the Cubans are crazy
for base ball. and to all outward appearance
Seem to be opposed to bull fights. The Span
iards are Just the opposite. nnd they think that
thore is no sport like bull lighting The Gov
eminent seems to be with them, too, and this
makes It bad for base ball. We came home
before we expected. but we had fun enough"
Following is the score Of the game In which
Collins and McMahon took part on New Years
