CLEVELAND SHUT OUT
THE ORIOLES TASTE THE
SWEETNESS OF REVENGE
ON THE SPIDERS
WILL IT Be THREE STRAIGHT ?

The Playing Yesterday Indicated that
the Seventh Game in the Temple Cup
Series Will Have TO be Played--
More Than 10000 People Saw the
Battle and the Enthusiasm was I'm
bOunded--Purely a Pitchers Con-
test and Esper had the Better.
BALTIMORE, Md. Oct. THE champ
ions tasted the sweetness of revenge to
day by shutting the spiders out without
run, thus, in measure at least, get
ting even for the three successive defeats
they met in Cleveland. The playing,
to-day, seems to indicate that the home
team will make three straight here, and
that the seventh game of the Temple
Cup series will have to be played
More than ten thousand people saw
the battle, and the enthusiasm was un-
bounded so much so, in fact that some
of the rougher element forgot them
selves, and offered some indignities to
the visitors Paper balls, peanuts, one
or two eggs, and finally a rock were
thrown at them as they left their hotel
for the grounds, and after reaching
there they were Kissed by a small part
Of the crowd, but this was frowned
upon by the majority, and there were
no further attempts at insult during the
game. 1t was purely a pitchers contest
in which Esper had the better of it.
Cuppy, though bit wild, held the vic
tors down to nine hits. These, however,
came at opportune times, while the five
made by the visitors were scattered and
non-productive Of runs. The fielding on
both sides was almost perfect, not a
chance being refused Aside from the
work Of the batteries, the only notable
features were brilliant catches of long
flies by Kelley, Brodie, McGarr and
Blake, and the splendid work of Jen-
nings at short.
The run getting began in the second,
when BrOdie got home on Oarr's rafting
two base hit to center, after having
reached first on a force hit and second
on Gleason's sacrifice. Two more were
made in the third, McGraw and Keeler
coming home on bunt by McGraw, and
by Keeler, a single by Jennings, Kelley
hit by pitcher and long fly by Brodie.
This performance was duplicated in the
seventh, Keeler going to first on
balls after two men were out, to third on
jennings single and home on Kelley's
singla to left, which also brought Jen-
nings across the plate. The visitors, as
rule, went out in one, two, three or
der, and at no time did they seem dan
gerous. Attendance 10, 900.
The score:
Baltimore, 2 0 0 0 0 ks
Cleveland 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 90
Batteries: Esper and Robinson; Cup
py and thinner. Umpires Keefe and
Hurst.

ChattanOOgans Give the Historic Relic
Most Loyal Welcome.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 7-Several
hundred Chattanoogans were at the
depot to greet the Liberty Bell on its ar
rival from Knoxville shortly before noon
to day. Mayor Ochs, in a few brief re-
marks Of welcome, said that the people
of the South welcomed the bell as pa
triots and Americans. He pointed out
the fact that Gen. Willard Warner, of
the Federal army, and Maj J. f. Shipp,
Quartermaster General of the United
Confederate Veterans, were on the citi
zens' committee. Both are veterans of
the late war
Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, in
responding, said that he had never seen
such demonstrations of loyalty as on this
trip through the South. He said he felt
that the bell was as safe in Chattanooga
as in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia
party was then taken to Lookout Noun
tain. At four o'clock this afternoon the
formal ceremonies of welcome took place
in the presence of several thousand peo-
pie.

GER few students will be called to the

derstood the defendants testimony will

AN INQUIRY DEMANDED
THE POWERS SEND A COLLEC-
TIVE NOTE TO THE TURK
ISH GOVERNMENT.
PRISONERS MUST BE RELEASED

There Must Also BE Cessation of Ar
rests-Armenian Refugees Sun In
the Patriarch Church Though There
Has Been no Further Rioting.--
Assurances of Turkey That a Plan
for Reform in Armenia Has Been
Accepted is Not Satisfactory.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct Via Sofia.
Oct. THE Representatives Of the six
powers have sent a collective note to the
Turkish government calling attention to
the inadquate measures taken by the
police authorities to maintain public
tranquility in ConstantinOple and its
Surburbs and demanding prompt institu-
ton OF rigorous inquiry into the re-
cent rioting, blOOdshed and wholesale
Imprisonment of ArmenianS here In
addition, the powers demand the re-
lease of all prisoners who are innocent
of wrongdoing and the cessation of
arrests.
Said Pasha, the new Turkish Minister
for Foreign Affairs, has called at the
different embassies and has presented to
the representatives of the powers a COM
munication from the Turkish govern
ment, repeating the assurance that a
plan for reform in Armenia has been
accepted by the Porte. 1t is not be-
lieyed, however, that this will satisfy the
powers. There have been no further
riots, although feeling of great dis
quietude reigns and demonstration on
the part of the Armenlans is feared.
The Armenians are still inside the Pat
riarch church in which they sought ref
uge after the rioting Of Monday last.
Some shots were fired at noon to day
and it was feared that another outbreak
was imminent. Police watching the
building promptly notified the military
authorities and strong force of troops
was sent to the spot. The soldiers i'm
mediately blocked all the adjacent
streets. This action of the military
caused quite panic among the inhabi-
tants of that quarter and they fled from
their homes in all directions. The Kurds
then entered the workshops among the
quays and expelled from them all the
Armenians they could find. Later, it is
claimed, the bodies of four Armenians
were found.
There is one feature of the police work
which is attracting considerable atten-
ton. 1t is frequently recalled that the
gendarmes, while making arrests, re-
peatedly told the persons taken into GUS
tody to ''call upon England to deliver
you"
Those who know the way of Turkish
officials say that this shows that the
police were instructed to impress upon
the minds of the Armenians that Great
Britain was unable or unwilling to assist
them in the emergency.
Finally, many quarters of Stamboul
have been placarded with notices in
citing the populace against the infdels,"
The police, it is true, tear down these
placards; but they are either unable or
unwilling to do so before they have been
widely read and have had the effect an
ticipated upon the Mahomedan popula-
ton. 1t is not claimed that the govern
ment is responsible for this agitation;
but the work is being done and the gov
ernment, apparently, is unable to put a

Democratic State Central Committee of
which A. W. Thurman is Chairman and
W. W. Durbin Secretary, tonight issued
an address to the Democrats of Ohio,
urging concerted action looking to the
control of the next National Democratic
Convention. The address concludes as
follows
"The functions Of the government of
the United States are distinct and separ-
ate from those of the States. Matters of
tariff taxation and coinage are functions
of the United States with which the
States have nothing directly to do. The
support of every Democrat is therefore
due to the State ticket But mem
bers of the Legislature who are to be
chosen and who will elect a member of
the United States Senate who will have
to vote directly upon the monetary ques
ton, and at a very critical stage of it,
should be uncompromisingl pledged, if
they are elected as members of the Gen
eral Assembly, to vote: first, in favor
Of an open party caucus for the nam
ing of United States Senator; second,
against a secret ballot in caucus; and
third, against the selection of any man
who is not in favor of the free coinage of
both gold and silver into full legal tender
money by the United States alone, with
out regard to the action of any other
country. To this end, we ask your cor
dial cooperation and assistance. "

vation--Their Victims Were Pros
pecting on Snake River When They
Were Ambushed and Shot Dead.
DENVER, Col, Oct "A special from
Pocatello, Idaho, says: A courier and
scout for the United States troops, named
J. W. Wilson, reached Idaho Falls, about
ninety miles north of this place, last
evening, bringing details of the killing of
Capt Smith and two comrades by In
dians in the lower part of Jackson's Hole
on Thursday morning.
The Indians had sworn vengeance
against Smith as it was he, they believ-
ed, who killed one of their tribe and was
the cause indirectly of the death of a
papoose last July. Smith was wounded
himself in this fight but recovered. vii
son states that capt. Smith and his two
companions were prospecting on the
South fork of Snake River at the South
end of Jacksou's Hole and Were ambush
ed and he and his two comrades were
shot dead and their bodies left on the
river bar.
Wilson and Constable Manning were
scouting in this locality at the time, and
both saw the dead bodies of the muir
dered men. Wilson rode at once to Capt.
Coils command at Swan Valley and re-
ported the facts, leaving Manning at
Camp Granite to return to Jackson's
Hole with the troops, who left immedi
ately for the scane of the killing. Wilson
then rode to Idaho Falls with dispatches.
Adams, a rancher living three miles
from the scene Of the killing and now
visiting at Idaho Falls, put Wilson
through a searching examination in re-
gard TO the killing of Smith and his
companions and says there can be no
doubt whatever as to the reliability of
Wilson's statement He says further
that the killing of Smith was
no surprise to him as the
Indians openly ayowed they would have
his scalp. He bellows, however, that
this viii virtually settle the difficulty 50
far as the Indians are concerned. Having
avenged the death of their braves, they
will now return to the reservation.
Wilson says there are about sixty In
dians at Jackson's Hole and they are
Bannocks from the Fort Hall reservation.
Capt. Coils, with his command, who
started for the Hole, will drive out all
the Indians found there, but it is almost
certain that none will be encountered as
they will anticipate the arrival of the
troops and head by a circuitous
route for the reservation. Lieut.. Ladd,
of the Ninth Cavalry, and Lieut..
Penn, OF the First Infantry, now sta
toned at Montpelier, Idaho, were much
alarmed at the killing. From the reports
received by them from the troops camped
in Star Valley, it is believed no further
trouble viii ensue, but report states that
there re 1c I ldians in Jackson's Hole,
with exception of small band under
military escort going to another camp in
Wyoming to recover child that was
lost last winter. The name of Smiths
comrades has not been learned.
