THE SKIES FhoWNED ON THE PLAYERS
But There Were Smiles on the Faces
OF Portland Enthusiasts
As the Home Team Made Twelve
Runs and a Victory.
Two RattlIne Games Played on Col
lege Diamonds Yesterday.

The championship season opened in this
city yesterday, and while the weather was
not all that could be desired. the game was
well played. There were about 500 persons
present ON all parts OF the grounds, which,
considering the raw wind and threatening
clouds, was as large an array as could rea-
sonably be expected. The game opened at
exactly 3 o'clock. Portland went first to bat,
with Newell, its latest acquisition, to set the
pace. He set 1t promptly and sped away to
first at a good gait. O'Brien followed him at
bat. and let Newell In on the only run Of the
inning. The visitors failed to score. The
same thing happened in the second inning,
Portland making one and Manchester draw
ing blank. In the third. the tide Of affairs
changed, and Manchester came in for two.
Then followed two innings in which neither
side scored. In the sixth inning, O'Brien
and DAILY managed to get around the circle Of
bases, while young Collopy made good run
from second and Cr0nin scored one. In the
seventh, Portland made two and Manchester
tied the score. This Is how they did it.
Burke was given his first on balls. stole sec
ond and third, and then stole home on a hot
grounder by Leighton, that was fumbled by
the second basemaD, and went tearing up
grass clear down to the fence, where Keay
stopped 1t. This same gr0under moved Con-
nor and Coughlin up a notch at time. and
when young Collopy came to bat he let them
both In. For two more innings both sides
failed to score, going out on strikes with sew
eral men on bases in each case. A breeze
arose in the ninth inning when Newell. be-
ing hit by pitched ball, claimed his base
aud started to take 1t. The umpire. how
ever. turned him down. and hubbub arose.
The players crowded around the umpire, but
that gentleman fortified his position by
reference to the rules, and the man went
out In the tenth inning the Portlands had
eight men at the bat. Willis was given first
base on balls, and Istole second. making his
run on Westlake's hit, Westlake made hit
to first and stole. Newell made hit to sec
ond base, and moved the others around
notch. Then Keay came to bat. He sent
the ball clear out OF sight beyond right field,
let everybody in, and made good home run
himself, winning the game to Portland.
Keay's playing at the bat and In centre field
was the feature Of the game, and he was
warmly applauded whenever he took the
held: Burke was also favorite with the
admirers OF Manchester for his daring and
skill In stealingl bases. Following Is the
score:

THE HUB AND THE CRESCENT CITY.
Boston Newspapers on the Report of
the New Orleans Jury.
The Globe Thinks 1t Has Given Italy
a Pretext for war.
The Journal Regards the Failure to
indlct as Natural.

BosToN, May 6.-The Advertiser says edi-
torially of the New Orleans grand jury re-
port that the attempt to justify the mob has
completely broken down; that there does
not seem to be scrap of evidence of jury
bribing against O'Malley. "It is thorough,
glaring and notorious outrage upon justice
that the grand jury declined so bluntly to in
dict any Of the lynchers."
The Globe editorially says the report of
the New Orleans grand jury has supplied
Italy with just the diplomatic weapon that
the government needed, giving that govern
ment excuse for war If it desired it, and that
the action of the grand jury was exceeding
greater anger.
The Journal says it is hard to see how the
jury could have done otherwise. for it is i'm
possible to indict whole community; that
the guilt and disgrace are not attached SO
much to individuals as to the city of New
Orleans, and In part to the United States
which, in unconseionable folly, has permit
ted this flood of foreign miscreants to pour
ern communities to point the finger of scorn
at the people of New Orleans who, when
they found their courts administering a
mockery of justice met mob law with mob
law.
The Herald says:
Although in certain respects the ynching may
nave salutary effects we snould say the effect of
the whole affair would be to greatly lessen public
confidence in the administration of justice in New
Orleans.
The Post says:
Let it once be conceded that the ideas expressed
In this report Of the New Orleans grand Jury are
tolerable in our social system and the foundation
drops out. Ii mob of 6000 or 5000 can set up
its will In place of law in New Orleans, mob of
90 or dozen In smaller places can do the same
under the plea of a spontaneous uprising OF the
masses" and therefore be supreme.
SPRINGFIELD. Mass. May 6.-The Repub-
lican says:
The report of the New Orleans grand Jury
which Is an ex parte plea in behalf of the lynch
ers OF March IA, is, IN all its aspects dscourag-
ing document. 1t might have been dictated by
the committee of fifty itself. 1t is not impossible
that some Of these grand jurors were of the mob
that assaulted The Parish prison. The only infer
ence to be drawn from this failure to ndict is that
the mob spirit the higher law" doctrine is still
supreme in New Orleans and not the law itself.
The courts and the law have failed to drive out
the Mada, so say the grand jury but lynch law
has also failed, so the Malta seems master of the
situation. It is confessed that the popular upris
ing of March IA, accomplished nothing. The last
state is then worst than the first.

The Etata's contraband Cargo Gets
the Ship Into Trouble.

NEW YORK, May 6. = The Tribune today
says that the civil war in Chill has found a
substantial echo In Pearl street and Hanover
square. W. r. Grace & Co. and G. r. Flint
& Co. are the two New York houses doing
the largest business with Chilli. The Grace
interests are favorable to the Congress par
ty. while Flint & Co. are with Balmaceda.
These two great commercial houses are pow
erful factors in the fight now going on in the
Republic Of Chill. Flint & Co. sent some
time ago two large consignment of arms to
Balmaceda. There were $50 cases of rifles
and 10000 cartridges in each consignment.
They were sent by the United States and
Brazil mail steamships Advance and Vigi-
lancia. The arms were invoiced as being for
arms were transferred to a steamer bound
for Montevideo. At this port the two new
torpedo cruisers OF Balmaceda, the Almi-
rante Lynch and the Almirante Condel, took
on board the rifles and the cartridges, and,
going through the Straits of Ma gellan, fought
the battle with the Huascar and Blanco En-
calada In Chilian waters. Meantime there
had been In New York member of the Chill
ian Congress, Ricardo l.. Trumbull, who had
been buying arms for the Congress party.
These arms were shipped overland. and hav-
and Minnie at Oakland, CAL, were from her
TO be transferred to the transport Etata. The
Etata was formerly a portion of the feet of
the South American Steam Navigation Com
pany, of which W. r. Grace & Co. are the
New York agents. A despatch was recently
received in this city. saying that Augustine
Ross, the agent of the Chilian Congress par
ty In Paris had promised some startling rev.
Citations in regard to the part played by New
York merchants In Chilian affairs. Wallace
Flint, brother of Charles X. Flint, Is now
in the Argentine Republic, and when last
heard from was beyond Rosario, making his
way toward the Gillian frontier. He went
there originally to look after the interests of
Flint & Co., but will, it Is probable, meet
Balmaceda on his retreat from his capital,
as the latest authentic advices place the
overthrow OF the autocratic president of
Chill as only few days off.
rope cautioning people against placing
New York merchants. The transport Etata,
which was to take on board the arms for the
Congress party which were bought here by
Mr.. Trumbull, was seized some time ago by
the vessels of the revolutionary fleet, and
w. r. Grace e. Co., disclaim any knowledge
OF her, except she once belonged to the COM
peny of which they are the New York
agents. Those best informed regarding
Gillian affairs say that the attempt of Bal
maceda to have the foreign consuls and
ministers interfere in the affairs of Chill Is
is designed to give the President graceful
means of getting out of the country If things
come to the worse. or to involve foreign
governments In the quarrel so that CONNER
clal houses may save something out Of the
wreck.

THE SHIP SEIZED.
An United States Marshal Now Com
nands tbs Etata.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. May 6-Last night
United States Marshal Gard seized the Chill
ian steamer Eteta. now receiving supplies in
the harbor, and placed Captain Mauzeum un-
der arrest. kilograms have been passing
between this city and the department at
Washington which brought about the above
results. Tug boats have left to seizs the two
vessels seen outside. one of which Is sup.
posed to be the schooner Robert and Minnie,
and the other war ship belonging to the in
surgents, which have been lowering around
the entrance to the harbOr to receive the
supplies taken on board the Etato. The war
ship was first sighted about yesterday noon
passing north. Ten hours later she repassed
the harbor going south, lying to just north of
the Coronado Islands. Customs Officer Ber-
ry sent party out to investigate, who re-
ported seeing a large vessel under steam
which they could not approach nearer than
two miles on account of her steaming away
from them. Orders were received from Sec
retary Blaine to seize both vessels If found
within the three mile limit, and Marshal
Gard and Collector Berry went out last night
In different tugs for that purpose. At mid
night last night the Etata received 40 head
OF cattle, 25 head of sheep and 5000 pounds
OF dressed meat from the ferry boat COro-
nado. The vessel has also received other
stores, inclnding 800 tons of coal. AS soon
as all the provisions and fuel were on board
she expected to leave the harbOr and cruise
between here and Catilina to meet the
schooner Robert and Minnie, from which
she was to take the Remington rifles and
ammunition. She was to sail last evening.
