Interesting Cricket Game at the Aiameda
Rail Grounds.


Bali Grounds.
The most interesting game OF cricket 1or
the season was pla ell yesterday afternoon
at the Alameda baseball grounds. The pub
lished statements, that cricketerS in this and
suburban cities were ioosing their interest
in this Soon-to- be-forgotten sport, were COM
pletely refuteG by the attendance at the
game of yesterday and also by the Zest
with which the contestants entered into
the sport. A large crowd gathered early in
the day, and long before the game opened,
at y o'clock, at least 800 people had assem-
BLEED to witness the contest, and throughout
the game they attested their interest IN 1t by
frequent bursts of applause
Eleven picked men against twenty-five
all-comers was the order of the play. The
contestants on both sides were selected from
the Burnaby and Alameda clubs Inc
picked eleven consisted of expert players
whose superior skill proved more than a
match for the twenty-five captalned by
SmitherS. who went first to the bat.
The bowling of Webster ana Robertson
had the effect of sending the wickets down
very rapidly for 43 runs. The only
notable batting was done by Robertson who
cl-verly carried stand into the double
figures
the bat with Low aud Warren, who were
retired after scoring 10. The wickets then
fell rapidly for 80 runs, owing to double
field when Robertson appeared at the bat
and made a beautiful stand of Is. after
giving 10 chances.
The "Twenty-two Men" in their second
inning made stand of 90. NeiSt and Cald-
well made excellent plays, scoring respec-
lively % and ID.
1t was nearly dark when the Eleven
Mem appeared for the second inning.
After vickets had fallen with 40 runs, it
was decided to call the game, the Eleven
Men" having beaten their opponents by 3
runs aud I Wickets. Following is the full
score:

Change in The Management Of The Eastern

ST. PAUL, Aug. ia complete change
in the officers and directors of the Eastern

nual meeting yesterday. The new officers
are: President. w. P. Clough; Vice-Pres-
ident, M. d. Grover; Secretary and Treas

from the Presidency has been expected.
At present he is somewhere on the Pacific
Coast. 1t is known that several of his East
ern Minnesota associates have followed him
to the Coast. 1t is said they have estab-
lished an Office in San. Francisco and are
further ng an unknown enterprise of the
Great Nor thern.
One of the reports is that they are run
ming a line and securing the right-of-way to
extend the Great Northern from Butte,
Ment., through Boise City. Idaho, to San
Francisco; This, however. has been re-
peatedly denied by the officials of the road.
The fact, however, remains that Minot is
upon the Coast, and +. c. Cruger, formerly
Treasurer of the Eastern Minnesota, and
one or two other former employees OF the
company are also there on a mission,
whether they are in the interest OF the Great
Northern or some other company.

Project to Connect Buenos Ayres and New

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-One of the con-
tinental projects which has taken posses
sion of Secretary Blaine's brilliant imagina-
tion is that of a continuous line of railway,
connecting North and South America.
Readers will recollect an interview pub
lished last winter with gentleman who
had such plan under consideration. lie
broadly stated that his plan was TO connect
Buenos Ayres and New York by rail- He
proposed to utilize the existing lines of
road already constructed where possible,
whether they were owned by any of the
various Governments in whose countries
they ran or by private corporations. Start
ing from Buenos Ayres on road already
built far into the northwestern part OF the
Argentine Republic, he proposed to cross
the Andes through pass into CDlle,
thence he would proceed northward through
that country to Peru, Ecuador and Colon.
bia; cross the isthmus, traverse Central
America and from there to the City OF
Mexico. Connecting lines from thence to
New York are already in existence and he
anticipated no further trouble when once
the capital of the M0nteZumas was reached.
Colonel L. II. Ropes of New York has been
in this city for some days and Will soon
leave for the City Of Mexico. where he Will
present letters TO President Diaz from Secre-
tary Blaine looking toward the beginning
of this vast railway project. Colonel Ropes
represents New York syndicate which has
been formed for the purpose of building
the line. large proportion Of stock, 1t Is
said. has already been subscribed by the
Holland Trust Company of Amsterdam,
wealthy and powerful corporation of the
Netherlands. Colonel Ropes is native OF

Silver Purchases

Silver Purchases.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-General Nettle-
son. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
has returned to Washington from New
Y ork, where lie spent some time in confer
ence with prominent bankers in regard to
the financial situation. He was in commu-
nication with Secretary Window on the
subject to-day, and it is not surprising if
there should be slight change in the Gov
ernments b0nd-buying policy within the
next few days Secretary Window said,
just before leaving Washington. that he
had considered proposition for the re-
demption of the AZ per cent loan at par,
but he has not reached conclusion.
The amount of silver offered the Treas
ury Department to-day was 794, 600 ounces,
of which 417,0O0 ounces were accepted. The
Director of the Mint refuses to give the
price paid, but it is known to be more than
81 IA. The London quotation of silver to-
day was SD and the New York equivalent
S1.142 The silver purchased to-day was
for delivery at Philadelphia, San Francisco
and New Orleans.
There was no reason why the public
should not be Informed of the rates at
which the Government is willing to buy
silver, but as the Director of the Mint
thought otherwise, he did not care to inter-
fere in the matter just then. He said he
would consider it more thoroughly on his
return.
As result of the correspondence with
Secretary Window it was announced this
afternoon that to-day's offers for the sale
OF silver were at rates ranging from 81 ID
to 81 15A, and the depar tment accepted all
offers at prices below 81 10. 1t is now I'M
derstood that hereafter the same publicity
