Two Good Cannes of Bali at Athletic
Park.
The principal sport to be Witnessed
yesterday was baseball. At Athletic

was fairly interesting. At First street

the score in that was 80 lopsided thatin-
tereEt was not kept up to the finish.
KEATINGs AND Ell TELEGRAFos.
The two games at Athletic park were
very interesting and good crowd wit
messed them.
The first game between the Keatings
and Ell Telegrafos was phenomenal ball
from start to finish. The Ell Telegrafos
star ted the bail rolling in the first inning
and were successful in getting four runs
in their half while the Keatings only
got one.
The Kestings got three in the first
half of the second inning and then the
Kestings. through their fine fielding,
shut them out until the eighth inning
when they managed to get two more.
The Kestings got nine more in the
fifth, seventh and eighth innings, giving
them the game by score of 13 to 6.
The features of the game were the
fielding of both clubs, especially Of COL
Inns who made two ditfsrens catches and
made double to Gebhardt, and the
heavy batting Of Allen, Hart and
Plants.
Grotzinger put up an excellent game
behind the bat. and Austin managed to
hold his opponents down to eight hits,
while the Keatings got 16 off of Kay

ASKED TO SURRENDER.
Reports That Minister willis Had Asked
the Hawaiian Government to
AbdIcate,

A dispatch from Auckland SAYS:
Advices from Honolulu to December
" have been received here by the
steamer Alameda, which has just ar
rived from San Francisco. The officer
Of the vessel stated to an Associated
Press man the excitement in Homo
lulu over the political situation was
growing in intensity. The members
OF the police force of the island have
been notified that they would be ex-
pected to take arms in defense of the
government, and a number of them
had been dismissed from the service
for refusing to obey this order.
The officers further stated to the in
terviewer that the minister of the
United States had written to the pro-
vlslonal government requesting that
they surrender Office, as the United
States government had decided in ia
vor of the restoration of the queen.
The minister, in his communication,
Informed the government that the
queen had agreed to grant amnesty to
all who had taken part in the rovolu-
ton, to ratify the obligations of the
present government, and to govern
in accordance with the pres
ent constitution. The government
was preparing long reply to the min
lister.

MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL.
Now Open for Use by the Largest Steam
ships.

shipJ.
The Manchester ship canal is now
open for traffic. 1t is a remarkable
enterprise which will make Manches-
ter seaport from this date, as the
largest seagoing steamships can pass
through the canal.
With the use of electric light.
steamers will be able to navigate by
night as well as by day, and the whole
length of the canal will be traversed
In about ten hours.
Some notion of the capacity of the
canal may be drawn when we compare
its depth with the Suez and Amster
dam canals, The minimum width of
the bottom of the Suez is seventytwo
feet and of the Amsterdam eighty
eight feet, seven inches, while that of
the Manchester canal is 100 feet. The
minimum depth of the Manchester
and Suez waterways is twenty-six feet,
and that Of the Amsterdam canal
twenty-eight feet.
1t is believed the quantity of grain
carried over the canal will be at least
one-half of that now landed at Liver
pool 1t is estimated that at least
l05, 900 tons per annum of fruit and
vegetables will at once be imported to
Manchester by this route.
With regard to raw cotton. firms in
the district, owning $4,000, 900 spin
dies, declare that nearly all the cotton
they use will be brought by the canal.
VI outward cargos there will be no
lack, and textile manufacturers have
testified to their belief that about
5OO,OoO tons per annum will be dis
patched by the new canal. The fnan-
clal success OF this enormous under
taking seems to be assured. The pro-
moters OF the canal are confident of
their ability to secure large and re-
munerative traffic and the estimates of
profit based upon the capital, as orig.
inally proposed, were very favorable.
The original capital of $40, 900, 900
has, however, now grown to nearly
double that amount, and the anticipa-
lions OF profit are not now so sanguine
as they formerly were. That there
are, however, enormous probabilities
OF traffic cannot be disputed. EzSg

In the Great Year 1900.

1t is reported that a movement is
on foot, with its headquarters at
Pittsburg, to girdle the earth with q
series of religious conventions on the
l9OOth anniversary of the Christian
era A great expedition will start
out, numbering it is thought, some
1000 persons, who will go entirel v
around the world holding rousing
religious services at every important
stopping place. The first service
will be held in San Francisco and the
last in New York Bombay, Jerusa-
lem, Rome and London will be taken
in on the way. The services are to
be entirely nonsectarian. Several
weeks will elapse between each SER
vice, and it is calculated that the ex-
podition will take year in making
its rounds and that it will cost cash
of the crusaders about $1,000.

Novel Method of Electric Lighting.

A novelty in electric lighting is
being practically tested in large
building in New York CITY, Instead
of arranging the incandescent lamps
on one circuit and feeding them con-
tinuously from the same source, thew
are arranged on number of sepa-
rate circuits, say four and the cur
rent is alternately switched from one
to the other in regular succession,
the idea being that the current, hav-
ing heated each successive circuit of
lamps to incandescence, will be re-
turned again to that series before
the lamp filaments have time to cool.
The means by which this Is accom-
plished is the employment of a
special interrupter or rotary cylinder,
on which the lsegments are so ar
ranged that a system of brushes,
with which they make contact, car
ries the current alternately to each
series of lamps. The periodicity of
the current in this device is about
seventy per second. Notwithstand-
ing the loss of energy in the inter-
rupting mechanism. the inventor
claims that between two and three
times as many lamps can be oper-
ated from given source OF energy by
his system as by any other system
now in use.

Z RALPH OR RAFE7
Which Way Should This Name "a.
nounced.

nounced.
Antiquaries or philologists from,
nearly all parts of England have
favored the papers with their views
respecting Lord Tennyson's pro-
nunciation of the name "Ralph, +" and
they appear to be equally proper
toned for "Ralf." "Raff" and CRATE y
according to local proclivities. Gus
tom and literature are equally IN.
certain. Writing from Brompton
Ralph Rectory, Taunton, the Rev. II.
C. Launder gives an interesting
account of what may be regarded as
the evolution of the word.
He says: "Since the discussion has
been raised respecting the word
Ralph, it may interest many of your
readers to know of its spelling in the
register of the parish of Brompton
Ralph, and of the pronunciation
given by the inhabitants. The
register dates from 1867, and is called
the register OF the parish of "Bromp.
ton Ratfe.' There is no change in
the spelling, as far as l can trace till
1862, when 'Ralf' displaces .Raffe,'
In 1865, and from then to 1716, find
Ralfe.' In 1717 new register is
begun with the word as we now have
it, Ralph The younger generations
pronounce the debated word as
though it ought to rhyme with chat,
The very Oldest inhabitants use the
pronunciation which rhymes with
Ralph.
at is curious to notice, however,
when q child is baptized Ralph af-
ter the name of the parish Ceases
have occurred within the last few
years., the parents invariably give
Ralph the safe sound"
"Hudibras' affords another ex-
ample of variety of pronunciation.
Butler says OF the doughty knight
that
4 Squire he had, whose name was Ralph,
That in tn adventure went his half
Though writer's, for more tone
Do coll him Ralplo. IFS all one:
And when we con with meter safe
Wen call him so, If not plain Ralph.
From all which the conclusion Of
the matter would appear to be that,
it is wrong to be dogmatic one way
or the other, and that each man NAV
pronounce "Ralph" as it may sound
go cd to his ears.
