A Dispatcher's Luck-Tourists for
the Summer-The Receivers
OF the s. A. p.
A train load of stock from Pearsall
to Chicago passed over the 1. & G. N.
yesterday.
The old labor ditch along the South
ern Pacific yards on Walnut street is
filed and the tracks for the switches
laid and the whole is being ballasted.
The extra sleeper to Fort Worth
that was put on the afternoon run
during the encampment has been
taken of.
Train dispatcher s. X. Buchanan
of the Houston division of the South
ern Pacific, came down to work yes
terday wearing a ten pound smile
on his face. It is boy and both are
doing well. All day long Mr.. B.
was approached by the boys who in
timated that the proper thing to do
was to celebrate. but he steadily de-
clined for the sake of temperance in
the young.
There is apparently no let up of
the outgoing tourist, nor will be, I'M
til the tide homeward turns. The
L. and q. n. is carrying the greater
part of this travel, and it requires
one or more extra coaches for each
north bound train.
Two of the oldest and most popular
of the clerks in the Southern Pacific
freight office have left for pastures
new. Mr.. Ben Cross, assistant cashier,
has accepted position on the survey
ing corps Of the Corpus Christi and
Brownsville road and his place is
filled by Mr.. Porte, of Ken lucky, and
Mr.. J. A. Pryor, bill clerk, has de-
parted to Luling to enter the banking
business there.
The appointment of Mr.. J. S. Nc
Namara to the position of Joint re-
ceiver with Mr.. b. F. Yoakum, of the
Arkansas, gives universal satisfaction,
both on the part of those who desire
to see deserving man move up in
the world and the desire TO see man
worthy of the trust get the position.
Mr.. Mcnamara is a practical and eX-
perienced railroad man and is one of
the most popular in the city. The ap-
pointment of San Antenians is an
other cause of congratulations.
Commerclal Agent Joe MCMILLAN
and animal coroner Frank Voelcker,
with their families, left Sunday on
a fishing trip to Uvalde.
Passenger Agent Mcnamara AAf the
I. and G. N, makes the statement
that the traffic in the passenger de-
partment for the month of June was
phenomenal amounting to about
81 900 in the coupon department and
So, 900 in the local. The showing for
the present month will about equal
this.
The I. and G. n. city offices will be
moved into the old postoffice building
not later than August 10th. 1t will be
fitted up as the most elegant railroad
office in the State. The office force
will be considerably increased.

Koenigsberg's tailor shop on West

has gone through a pretty thorough
auction sale, but this Is not the case.
Late last night, or early this morn

shop by forcing open the front doors,
and helped themselves to $500
worth of piece goods. An officer who
passed by there about o'clock this
morning, found the front doors open,
but the nocturnal patrons had fed
They evidently got in their work
while the police were changing off at
midnight.

Kansas City Wrests Well Earned Victory
From Omaha.
THE LOCALS WEAK AT CRITICAL POINTS,
An Aggravating Yet Thrilling and Ex-
citing Contest-Manuing Covers
Himself with Glory-Stand-
ing of the Clubs.
Kansas CITY o. Omnha 3,

Kansas City played a beautiful p-hil game
yesterday and wrested a well earned victory
from the Black Sox in the very last inning,
Itwas aggravating, and yet very thrilling
and exciting.
The Cowboys played without an error, ex-
cepting two low throws by Swartzel, whose
extreme eagerness to win the game made him
nervous. But he recovered in time, however,
to land his confreros on top, and IS deserv-
ing of every praise AS usual, dapper little
Gunson supported him in faultless style.
To parlcularize as to the work Of the other
seven Kansas City men would be invidious,
as one and all played the kind Of ball real
lovers OF the sport like to witness.
On the other hand, at critical stages In the
battle, the Black SoX played like lot of
shoemakers, and despite Kansas City's earn
est and industrious efforts the game was a
gift.
And in consequence the biggest crowd of
the scasOn-say anywhere from four to five
thousand pcople-were awfully, awfully sore
when the dust and smoke cleared away and
showed their favOrites just one little slender
tally too short.
The story of the game briefly told is as fol-
lows:
Omaha scored twice in the first on two
sacker by Canavan, triple by Walsh, an
error of Swartzel and a single by O'Conner.
Twice again in the second on three Dagger
by Willis, n single and steal by Hanrahan,
sacrifice by Walsh and a base on balls to
Canavan.
And again twice in the fourth Willis
single, Hanrahaus sacrifice, and Clarhes ac-
cidentalhome run were the causes of this third
brace.
And still again in the eighth did the Black
SOX get in two tallies.
Cleveland led off with two-cushion drive,
went to third on Swartzols poor throw to
catch Kearns at first, and home on Willis
fourth safe hit of the game. l<earns followed
a moment after on Hanrahan's second hit.
The next three men furnished easy outs.
The Cowboys ate their pie after this
fashion:
Gunson hunted safely in the thirdand went
to second on Swartzels hit which Willis al
lowed TO get by him, and Gunny came on in
and Swartzel stopped on second. Nlcol' s
hlee-bagger brOughti in the Cowboys pluclSy
pitcher, and that was all until the sixth
when they run in five big heartytallies.
Stearns led off with single, and Carpenter
and Burns followed with two sackers aud
Gunson with single, and this bit of seQuen-
tial slugging, coupled with a base on balls
and wild pitch, was responsible for the
whole business.
In the seventh Elmer Smith lined her out
for IA homer and in the ninth Manning ended
the game by as clever piece of work as was
ever seen on the diamond.
He got first on Cleveland's tumble, and
then audaciouSly stole both second and third,
and then, after Swartzel had gone out, ran
! home with the winning run on Nicol's dandy
single

THE CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Captain Mckenzie, the Americ can, Has
n Good Lead.

[Copyrighted 1890 by james Gordon Bcnnet1
PARIS, August 81 New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. The Man
chester chess tournament is being watched
with intense interest by lovers of that most
ietellectual game In the very first round
Americas champion, Captain Mex enzie, won
Il brilliant victory over his opponent, the Rus
sian. Captain Mckenzie, l regret to state, is
suffering from very ill health, but very soon
turned the attack on his adversary and the
position in his own favor. NJ Allapin re-
signed before the adjournment at o'clock.
In the second round Mason contested a
very fine game with Mckenzie. 1t was ad-
journed twice and not concluded until Tues
day evening, when Mason scored. Upward
of eighty moves had been recorded ten on
both sides. Mason appear sto be in exc celent
form, and will probably be among the first
three when the tournament is ended.
The fourth round was the most exciting of
the week. Mckenzie was paired against
Blackburn and Farrasch against Gunsberg
The French defense seems to hold
little luck. Blackburn tried 1t in this
game, but he emerged from the
opening moves with an infarior position, and
as the game proceeded his infcrority in
creased until it became apparent that the
game was beyond salvation. He then, with
his usual ingenuity, offered to sacrifice two
pawns to enable him to get a bishopinto action
which had been out of play for some time
and thereby obtain strong attack and he
perhaps would have drawn by perpetual
check but Mckenzie, evidently considering
that he had the winning advantage, refused
to barter and by advancing his king on the
pawns he himself obtained the attack, after
which Blackburn was compelled to resign.
AT the present point in the match Captain
Mckenzie has lead over all the other play
ers, he havin g won seven and half games.
Blackburn comes second with seven games.

Criticism of Minister Mzner With.
held by the State Dep,rrment


ISGToS, August 81 Tho state de-
partment has taken measures TO secure the
full parti culars of the shooting of General
Barrundian on board an American vessel
lyingin the port of San Jose by officers of the
Guatemalan government and until the exact
facts and circumstances connected with the
affair are known it does not care to express
an opinion of the case or of the course of
Minister Miznor. A case involving identi-
cally the same principle occurred in Nicara-
qua in 1856, and in that case Secretary Bay
ard informed our minister to Central
America that the Nicaraguan gov
ernment had right to take the man
wanted from the American merchant vessel
provided she were in Nicamguan waters.
The case was that of Jose Gomez.
In a lie tier dated Guantemala, February 10,
1855, Minister Hale Informed Secretary Ere
linghuyscn that he had been informed that
the Guatemalan government proposed to
take from on board the Pacific mail steamer
Honduras, then lying in the San Juan Del
Sur, passenger named Gomez in transit for
Panama, but wanted in nNicaragua to answer
a charge of being implicated in the recent
inSuTectlon. Minister Hale said he had
directed our consul at Mauagua to III
form the Nicaraguan government "that
our government had never consented
w
moval from an American vessel in foreign
port of any passenger in transit, much less if
the Offense is POLITICAL The captain of the
vessel did not giveup the man and sailed ont
of the port without securing proper clearance
papers. He was tried and convicted for this
| by the Nicaaguan authorities, The case
came before the state department. in this way
andit held hat Minister Hale had not acted
according to law. In his letter to the minis
ter, which is dated March L., 1856, Secretary
Bayard says; "Itappcars that Gomez volun-
tarily took passage on the vessel, knowing it
would enter Ell route Nicaraguan port
a merchant vessel of one country
visits the port Of another for purposes Of
trade it Owesa temporary allegiance and is
amenable othe jurisdiction of that country
and is subject to laws which govern the port
! it visits SO long as it remains, unless other
wise provided by treaty. Any exception or
| immunity from legal jurisdiction must be de-
| rived from the consent of that country. 1t
| is said that cases have frequently occurred in
which evolutionists and others wanted for
| offenses of one character or another have
| been seized by the Hawaiian govern ment
| while on British merchants ships and Great
Britain has not protested, thus estabis hing

The Barrunuian affair differs from Others
| in that the man was shot, but the right to
| seize being conceded right to kill, if resist

| diplomatic circles of Minister Miner
course is that OF unnecessary Interference

tothe Guatcmalans that they seized the mar
at their own risk, but the department awaits
