DARK SECRETS LOST.
POrtIands Win the First
League Game.
WAS PRETTY TO THE FIFTH


The Ozark Secrets" met their first de-
feat yesterday at the hands of the Pine
Tree State champions OF the New Eng
land League last year.
This game was the opening OF the sea
son in this city, and the Pawtucket team,
which reported for duty only last Friday,
have not had any practice, the clerk Of
the weather having sent too much moist
ure this way.
Lynch was put in the box and delivered
the ball in great style for five innings,
when they hit him hard.
This was the first time he has twirled
the sphere this season. Clare was sub
stituted, but the game was lost.
Luck was with the Portl for two
long hits.over the fence brought in six
runs.
tendance, and the nobby black suits Of
the Pawtuckets, with the white trim
mings, showed up fine.
The boys are good players and will yet
make their mark. Today they play the
Lewistons.
For five innings it was as prettyia con-
test as one could wish to BEE, the score
then standing s to In favor of the local
team. In the sixth inning Lynch went to
pieces and the Portlsnds made six runs.
Clare was then put in the points, but this
change didn't seem to make any difference,
for they had got on their batting clothes
and banged the ball In all directions.
The Pawtuckets outfelded the Port
lands, but the game was lost by weakness
in he pitchers box. II was doubtless a
mistake to put Lynch In. The visitors
showed up well, both in the field and at
the bat. O'Brien made the hit OF the
game, sending the ball over the fence In
left centre field. O'Donnell led the home
team at the bat, sending the
second ball pitched to him through the
left field fence, and two runs crossed the
plate In front OF him. Following Is the
official score:

A COUNCIL OF WAR
Contemplated by the
Presidents Enemies.
SOME LIVELY SKIRMISHING.
Blaine's Friends Haven't Abandoned
the Scheme for His Nomination.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-There has been
for several days marked activity on the
part Of the opponents Of the president. and
conference is understood to have
been arranged which Is shortly to come
on. II has not been fully decided where IL
Is to be held. but 10 will probably be in
Washington. IL being the most.central.
At this conference will figure many prom
ineut Republican leaders, among them
Platt OF New York, Clarkson, chairman
Of the national Republican committee.
Quay, ex-Speaker Reed. Foraker and
Dudley, Senators Wolcott, Teller aud
Stewart. There are others in the move
ment, but they are keeping In the back
ground.
Some OF these disgruntled leaders have
been seriously considering how they can
best go to work to counteract the popular
sentiment in favor Of the denomination OF
President Harrseon. They find themselves
handicapped because of the fact that the
opposition to the president, with few ex-
ceptions, comes from politicians like
Platt and Quay. As to the silver states,
the opposition TO the president is due
wholly 10 his stand on the money ques-
tion.
As 4" Ex-Speaker Reed,
he j. probably the only one OF the active
opponents Of the president who stands we'll
before the people. Reed, however, has n
grievance against the president growing
outo the distribution OF patronage, which,
whi!r many believe it to be just griev-
ance. ,oes not add much strength TO his
oppo ition The fact that all of these men
are borough politicians, and comprise
some of the hest organizers In the Repub-
lican party. causes some Republicans to
believe that they may create such disaffec-

A representative from New York who is
one Of the delegates to the Minneapolis
convention, and friend OF ex-senator
Plat. called on the president yesterday.
He ridiculed the idea that there was any
serious opposition in the New York dele
cation TO the presidents nomination. lie
admitted that ex-senator Platt was not
very warm friend OF the president. and
would like to get the delegation away
from him. but as there was 10 other can
didatc in the field they would be unable to
concentrate even the small number OF
votes under Platt's control on any other
man. He informed the president further
that the reason why they did not pass
resolutions of instructions was because
they did not wish to create any antagon-
ism, prefcrring harmony to forcing the is
