The Base Fall Outrage.

The feeling over the outrage that
was pcrpetrated ut the expense Of
Rock Island at the recent meeting Of
the Western Base Ball association ut
Des Moines is not confined to the
local enthusiasts of the national
game. The people Of Rock Island
feel that the city has been done n
grievous wrong, which the associ-
alton should hasten to remedy, and
that when President Kent under
stands the situation he will take such
steps a well lead to the dropping Of

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-It is pro-
posed to bring the surplus product of the
oil wells vf Southern California to San
Francisco for use as fuel. Then men who
are behind the project declare there is
nothing visionary about it. and have al
ready contracted with Goodall, Perkins
e. Co. for the transportation OF the oil in
its crude state. 1t is deemed advisable to
construct tank ships in order to transport
the fuel at the least possible cost.
1t was the opinion OF the gentlemen
present at the important preliminary con-
ference in the Off ces of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company today that the intro
duction OF the product here in commerce
ial quantities would sound the death
knell of the coal importing business. In
cidentally, that would mean serious in
iurv.to the shipping business OF the port.
AT the conference today were Messrs.
Heron. Burns and Flint, representing
the oil exchange OF Los Angeles; Senator
Perkins and Captain Minor Goodall rep.
resenting the steamship company. 1t was
a business discussion strictly. bat had not
gone far. until it was plain that oil could
be brought from Southern California and
sold in San Francisco at prices away un-
der the, price demanded for the chea pest
coal that can be used in furnace. 1t
is not unlikely that the result of this first
conference will be the organization of a
crude oil transportation company. in
which Goodall. Perkins & Co. will have
large interest and the management.

SACRAMENTO. August "A. w. os-
ter, the president of the North Pacific
Coast Railroad company. appeared before
the state board of examiners today. He
said the road showed slight improve
ment this year over the preceding one.
He introduced the secretary OF the ROAD,
Thomas Mellush, who produced the sta
tistics and gross and net earnings of the
road for the past two years. He said that
the road was 1853 miles in length. The
rolling stock remians the same as last
year, except the purchase of few box
cars. The gross earnings OF the last year
are $500 in excess of the preceding year.
The difference ia the two years operat-
ing expenses has decreased 100000. This
is due to the fact that the working force
has beon reduced as much as a good ser
vice will permit, and the downward
course of wages which has occurred all
over the union.
The passenger earnings have decreased
during the Ey-ar The freight earnings
increased 500 during the same time.
The percentage OF the cost OF running the
steamers. to the gross earnings. is 11.75
per cent.
Mr.. Mellush said there was no money
in carrying passengers. They were ac-
tually carried at loss. All that enabled
them to run passe niger trains was the rev.
enue derived from carrying OF mails and
express matter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A good deal
Of interest was aroused at the postofice
department this afternoon by the story
printed IN San Francisco stating that
Postal Clerk E. Colver had charged Super
intendent Samuel Flint of the railway
mail service with being party to exten.
sive railway mail frauds against the gov.
ernment.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Nelson denied positively that Flint was
concerned in the frauds.
son the contrary" he said, "it was
directly due to Mr.. Flint that an exten-
sive fraud was discoveredslast June at the
time when Colver charges that Flint was
in collusion with the railroads for the
purpose of defrauding the department.
'In that month the.mails on the Pacific
coast were weighed in order to obtain a
basis for payment for carrying them dur
ing the four years. A small circular on q
small route attracted Superintendent
Flint's attention and he followed it up
skilfully and finally brought about the re-
adjustment of a much larger route, saw
ing the government much money. There
is no doubt that some confused informa-
tion in regard to this caused Colver to
make the charge that he has made against
Mr.. Flint
While no official action has been taken
it is thought by the officials in the post
office department. that Colver is almost
certain to lose his head within day or
two. The method of the fraud attem pied
last year was to divert mail matter from
other routes to the one that was being
weighed.

OHIO POPULISTS NOMINATE
General Coxey Their Choice for the
Governorship
Conservative Pops Not Plessed-Debs' Trial
Derounced-The Complete Ticket
as Named

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 2.-After two
turbulent sessions today the Ohio Popu.
lists succeeded in adopting platform and
naming state ticekt. They adjourned
late this evening. but some of the more
influential members of the party are
not pleased with the results. General Ja.
cob s. Coxey was triumphant in every
thing, and it was the predominance OF
Coxeyism and his novel ideas that does
not please some of the conservative Popu-
lists. Aside from the endorsement of the
Omaha platform, the endorsement of
Coxey's non interest bearing bond
scheme and good roads bills and the de-
nouncing of the trial of Debs are the
principal points in the platform.
Following is the complete ticket nomi-
mated:
Jacob s. Coxey, Stark county, for gov
ernor.
John H. Crofton, Hamilton, lieutenant.
governor.
George Harper. Green. treasurer.
William Baker, Licking, attorney.gen-
eral.
K. D. Stark, Cuyahoga, supreme Judge.
William Agloyd, Tuscarawas, public
works.
Thomas II. Hickman Morrow, clerk OF
the supreme court.
After the convention adjourned it was
discovered no one had been nominated
for the important position of auditor of
state. The state central committee will
supply the omission later.
