WARRINGTON City. July 20.-In the Sem
ate the first two hours were occupied to-
Gay in the discussion of the bill to permit
the Puyallup Indians in Washington to
ALLEVIATE portion of their lands in the
neighborhood of Tacoma. The matter
was still in discussion when at o'clock
the anti-option bill came up as unfinished
business. Vest assaulted it as an undue
stretch of the constitution and an at
tempt on the part of congress to exercise
police powers within the states and de-
fusion to the farmers. Washburn de-
Tended the bill. and other senators took
part in the discussion The bill was still
unfinished when the Senate adjourned.

HE Is NOT OuT.
ROSIyN- Wash Julv !

ROsLYN, WASH, July Is. 1892
To the Sporting Editor: Here is a point in
the game OF baseball which | would like you to
answer for me: First: and second bases are &C.
hit to the third baseman, who is supposed to be
standing on the line between second and third
bases. The runner on second base starts to
third and the fielder the third baseman who
to cut off the runner from first to second, pre-
Stunning that the runner from second to third
was out because he the felder) was on the line
with the ball in his possession before throwing
it to second base. Please inform me whether
the runner from second to third was out, and
whether not the fielder is not required to
either reach his third base or touch the runner
with the ball before he (the runner) reaches the
base?
Also please inform me how far a runner can
run from the line to avoid the fielder when
fielding a ball-that is. how far behind the
fielder, who is supposed to be standing on the
line or the path OF the runner. Yours truly.
W. s. LYLE.
There is no such thing in baseball as putting
out baserunner by fielder standing the
line ahead OF him with the ball. In the case
mentioned the runner on second, when the ball
was hit, was forced to run to third. He could
he put out either by having the ball at third
base ahead of him or by being touched by the
ball as he ran down the line from second to
third.
Section of rule AZ OF the national playing
rules prescribes that baserunner shall be out
If he runs more than three feet from a direct
line between the bases to avoid being touched
by the ball in the hands of fielder; but in case
fielder be occupying the baserunners proper
path attempting to field batted ball, then the
baserunner shall run out of the path and be-
hind said fielder, and shall not be declared out
for SO doing.1

To Strengthen the seattle Team.

President Hardy, of the Seattle Baseball Asso-
citation, yesterday appointed J. w. Edwards W..
X. Forrest and Charles Louch q committee to
solicit the sale of unsold stock in the associa-
ton. The very uniayorable weather OF the first
part OF the season and hard luck of the team
afterward caused poor attendance and conse-
quent small gate receipts. Now that the club Is
IN good shape once more and playing winnin g
ball interest in the game has revived. 1t is
desired to still strengthen the team, but
to do this will require more money than the
association has to spend. The aid Of lovers of
the great national game is asked in this emery
ency. With each two shares of stock Is given

An Oreronian GUILTY Of Forperv.

PORTLAND. July 20.-[Special. James c..
Mason, formerly postmaster at Tillamook,
who was indicted by the United States
grand jury for having forged the name of
Johnson Erickson to money order and COL
iected $l3 thereon. was arraigned in the
United States district court today and Ell
tered plea of guilty. United States At
torney Mays recommended that a line of
$500 be imposed, in default thereof the
criminal to be sentenced to a term of i'm
prisonment. Counsel for Mason said the
money could be raised, SO sentence was
deferred and the prisoner remanded to
Jail. Mason stood we'll in the community
where he resided until this crime
was charged against him, and some
now think that he pleaded guilty to screen
some of his family who committed the
crime. He made good the amount of the
order some time ago.

Lees primary purpose in detaching Brcckin-
ridge and Early was, Of course. to save Lynch
burg and the western communications Of
Richmond. the loss of which, with Grant at
Petersburg, would have been fatal to their
cause. Bu. Interior purpose, if circum-
stances favored. was an advance into Maryland.
Hunters eccentric direction in retreat made
easy the subsequent raid on Washington, serv-
ing Lees purpose of diverting troops from Grant
and Of hurrying Hunter away from southwest
Virginia. ticklish quarter. After observing
Hunter for few days, Early headed his forces
down the Shenandoah valley, now open to the
Potomac river. lie had a force approxir ating
to 10000 men, but it is impossible to definitely
fix the number from the official records. In
fact, during these days the coniederates had no
time to make records of any kind.
On the 27th his command was gathered about
Staunton, where the men and wagons were re-
duced TO light marching order and the trans
portation loaded with only bare necessaries.

reinforced that morning and the night before
by corps from Leos army, and after dark he
set out upon . swift retreat toward West Viz

o! Early that caused him to take this direction.
II Is the Judgment OF most military critics that
Hunters true course was to have attacked and
captured Charlottesville before advancing on
Lynchburg.
EARLY's MOVEMENT.
After the defeat and death OF Jones at Pied
mont Gen. Lee perceived tho necessity Of doing
something at once to bead of Hunter. First,
he again sent Breckenridge back to the valley,
and on June Is Ewelrs entire corps, Gen. Jubal
A. Early commanding, was detached in the
name direction. Tho head Of bis column
rived at Lynchburg in time to save the town
from the federals. Early followed Hunter for
few days to the westward, but failed to strike
the Union force effectively. Hunter safely
made good his retreat down the Karawha river,
by steamer up the Ohio river and thence by
rail back to Harper's Ferry, but not In season
to aid in scpelling Earlys rapid foray into
Maryland and against Washington.

Of ne sixth and nineteenth corps pressed for
ward in front with the greatest precision; the
tactics we're altogether beautiful. 1t was O
grand sight. and Crooks advance was success
full from the beginning; he pressed forward
almost without hat. Merritts and Averelrs
cavalry had swept everything up the Winches-
ter pike back behind Breckenridge, who at
tempted to stop them, but Merritt charged the
infantry on the left as Averell passed around
his flank. With saber and pistol they rode
down a battery and captured 1900 prisoners.
Crook just then struck Breckinridge's right
and Goraon's left, forcing them to give way.
Wright had broken Rodes, and the whole rebel
army fell back near Winchester. where Early
attempted for time to make stand: il was but
momeptary, for united Union advance speed
NY sent his whole force flying through the town.
Crook pursued through Winchester, Sheridan
accompanying his columns. In tho town Sberi-
dan received assurances that Early was COM
pletely demoralized The Union general was
conducted to the home of MISS Wright who
had contributed SO much ~ the success. On
the desk in her Rhool roam the celebrated

army had been sent '.whiriinz up the valley. !"

doors OF the capital,
WINE Sherman'B movement at the west toward
Atlanta was apparently ineffective And EARLY
was hardly driven back when the mine disaster
al petersburg shocked the country.
There was great depression throughout the
country, and the prospects of the republicans
IN the impending presidential election looked
gloomy unless there was immediate military
success portending the downfall of the re-
bellion. Gen. Mcclellan had been nominated
against Mr.. Lincoln on a peace -at-any-
price platform. His election probably
meant the collapse of all Union effort to beat
the confederates. Something was necessary to
be done, and that something speedily &C.
Cured.
Gen. Grant was confident. that on the arrival
OF Gen. Wright with the sixth corps, also part
OF the nineteenth corps from New Orleans to
assist Hunter and Sigel. that Washington would
not only be saved, but fatal blow struck
Early's army before he could get back across the
Potomac. But Hunter was greatly delayed in
getting back from West Virginia by the de-
struction of the b. and o. road west Of Har-
pcr's Ferry. Another drawback to vigorous
operations around Washington was the null
titudinous number of commanders.

CROSSING THE POTOMAC
THE FIGHT AT oPEQUAN.


Sheridan moved to the attack before day.
light on the 18th. The cavalry was to attack
and carry the crossings of the Opequan creek,
supported by the sixth and nineteenth corps.
After crossing, the cavalry was to protect the
TANKS. while the infantry deploycd to the attack
The cayalry's advance was SO sudden as to Sc
cure the crossings without much opposition. But
they were narrow. and it was noon before the
two corps were in line ready to advance. The
country somewhat wooded, affording fay
orable ground for defense.
AS the blue coats advanced they were opened
upon by Early's whole line Getty's division
on the left and Ricketts, on the right of the
Berryyille pike. with Wilson's cavalry began
stcadiiy to gain ground against Raniseur's in
fantry and Lomax's cavalry. Then Growers
division OF the nineteenth corps attacked Wig
orously on the right, breaking Evans brigade

Gordon and Rodes sprang. driving back part
Of Ricketts, troops. and temporarily stopping
hherlians onset. As the charging confedcrates
came on, however. they were struck in the flank
by UptoD's brigade OF Russells reserve division
and thrown back to their original line. This
charge was brilliant but it cost the life of the
brave Russell. who had been Sheridan's cap
tain on the Pacific coast.
Then Crooks eighth corps was brought into
action on the enemy's left just as Torbert's
cavalry attack from the north along the Mar
tinsburg pike began to drive the enemy in con-
fusion back on Winchester. And also stimuli

higher up and covering the federal right flank.
Gen. Ricketts,, with his veteran division. held
to the left Of the railroad down stream, in two
lines, astride the pike leading TO Washington
and defending the turnpike bridge. Still
farther down some detachments Of cavalry
under Col. Clendenip watched the fords. A
small reserve force was held at the railroad.
Wallace's total artillery amounted to six guns,
which we're equally divided between RICKETTS,
and Tyler, though they we're all finally sent to
Ricketts' support
A SPIRITED yIour.
Gen Wallace states that Early's skirmishers
began TO appear on his front along the Frod-
erick pike about s a. m. of July 8; that artii-
lery soon opened the engagement and that
the enemy's main columns appeared upon the
scene about 9 o'clock. Gen. Early makes no
mention Of these earlier movements; in fact
he gives no details Of the battle, except the
mcager statement that while Gen. Ramseur
demonstrated on wallace's front Gen. John B.
Gordon crossed the Monocacy below by a route
opened by McCausland's cavalry. and got upon
Wallace's flank, driving him in dsordered
retreat ION the afternoon Of that day" toward

In Q conference Hunter had expressed . will
ingness to be relieved, and Sheridan. who had
been waiting at Washington, was Immediately
sent for. At the Monocacy he had a talk with
Grant, and then passed on up to Halltovn. the
lieutenant general returning TO Washington.
Owing to the political as well as military ten
sion II was necessary now. stated at the
outset, to beat Early. This was pointed out to
Sheridan. He was to- fight, but not to hight
until he was confident OF dead sure thing.
In noting the new commanders caution in the
earlier operations OF this glorious campaign
this fact must always be kept in view. Sheri-
dan had the largest force the Union had yet
assembled in the Shenandoah valley and il was
mostly made up Of good troops One great
advantage was his large and efficient cavalry
force, which could be maze very effective in
the open country Of the valley. Hiseommand
was called the middle military division and
the active force the "Army OF the Shenan-
doah." Torbert was made chief Of cavalry.
Important results Immediately followed all
these changes.
