have induced bear raid on these and other
speculative kinds of stocks. Selling has
been lively since Monday, but paused yes
terday. The Bourses closed Thu rsday. As
cension Day, and members of the London
Stock Exchange seized the opportunity to
try to improve prices. A decided rally set
In until the Paris operators checked the rise
by placing here large selling orders. To as
sist the operation of these financiers, rumors
were circulated involving the credit of a
number of prominent firms. The firm of the
Messrs. Ephrussi, for long time deeply in
terested In Portuguese stocks, was men,
toned as among the firms said to be in a
shaky condition. 1t was definitely stated
that member of the firm had fled or COM
lied By marriage with the Rohtschilds but is
In no way linked in business with them. The
Messrs. Ephrussi headed a syndicate In
March, 1890, taking Portuguese loan Of g.

severe bear attack.
Yesterday, blocks Of Portuguese, Russian,
Italian and Spanish securities were thrown
on the London Stock Exchange, completely
knocking the feet from under the holders Of
these stocks. Inquiries were hastily tele-
graphed to Paris, but the senders of the mes
sages got no explanation of this turn In the
market and everything closed dark. The
game of reaction was resumed today when
other firms were bruited as about to collapse.
These reports caused panic on the Paris
Bourse for some hours. A large. number Of
orders from scared provincial holders as
sisted the rapid downward movement, which
extended 70 the London, Berlin and Frank
fort Exchanges. Towards the close the fall
was arrested by extensive bear repurchases,
and 1t was announced that firms whose posi-
tion was deemed shaky mad obtained assist
ance. When business closed, confidence was
fast replacing the panicky feeling. In Paris
prices closed much above the lowest rates Of
the day, though the market is still unsettled.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, May S.-The President
and party entered the state at about o'clock
this morning. and arrived at Boise city at
o'clock. Three hours were passed very
pleasantly in that city. The streets were
gay with buLting. The visitors were re-

Mayor Plnney and others. A procession of
United States cavalry, state troops. Grand
Army posts and the local fire department es-
corted them to gaily decorated stand, oppo-
site the main entrance of the Capitol, where
Governor Wiley and Mayor Pinney made
addresses of welcome. Responses were
made by the President, Postmaster General
Wanamaker and Secretary Rush, after which
the President, assisted by the public school
children, planted live oaK tree at prom
inent point In the Capitol grounds. The en-
tire party then entered the Capitol building,
and the Chief Executive held public recep-

nearly 15C0 people. While these ceremonies
were In progress, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Nc
Kee, Mrs. Dimmick and Mrs. Russell Harri-

parlors of the Sherman House, which were
beautifully decorated with flowers and flags

College Ball Tossers Begin Their
Championship Games Today.

The weather was all right yesterday. The
spectators were all right-there were 1900 of
them-and the Portlands were all right too,
taking the game from the hitherto invinci-
BILE Worcesters. 1t was business from the
beginning. When the crowd arrived they
found the Worcesters there, dressed in their
natty suits Of gray, tossing the ball around
the field ard warming up to win the game.
But they didn't do it. The Portlands went
to the bat and started In with Newell, who
kept up his reputation Of winning games
where he led. He went out without scoring,
however. O'Brien and Keay making marks.
The O'Brien of Worcester made little sim
gle lit and went to second afterwards, but
nobody scored for Worcester down to the
seventh The same story Is true Of Portland
error In the second inning, made fine steal
to second, and another to third, sliding In
there on his nose and chin. Westlake had
finger smashed iu the second while trying to
pick ball off the bat and gave way to
Shine, who was greeted with cheers and ap-
plause as he came on the field. In the fourth
inning Portland scored four. The fifth drew
a blank. both sides going out In one, two,
three order. Newell. with the assistance of
Keay at the bat, scored In the sixth and also
in the eighth. The only change from the
round and beautiful goose eggs that Worces-
ter drew was made in the seventh inning.
when Hayes and Sullivan scored one apiece.
Worcester went to pieces after that. only
making one little hit. by Lezott, that helped
nobody. Slater wound up P0rtland's end
with magnificent two bagger. but he stuck
there.
The features of the game on the side of
Portland were the good stealing of third by
Slater In the second, and the magnificent
stealing. fielding and double plays of
Keay, Slater and O'Brien, two good fly
catches by O'Bren and a quick stop by
Willis. The game of the Worcesters was al
most featureless, the salt air of the coast or
something else taking the starch all out of
them. Con Murphy failed to put in an APP
pearauce and Taber pitched. His pitching
was extremely weak and he he was batted
freely. The most of the Worcesters could do
little or nothing with Willis. although one
or two good singles were made.
Brown umpired to general satisfaction
yesterday, being allowed to run the game
without the assistance Of the whole field.
There was almost no noise on the boards, the
msn behind third base being under the con-
slant care of Officer McDonough, who
promptly suppressed any tendency to guying
or coaching. The score:
