Haute.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. IA special to
The Sentinel from Terre Haute, Ind,
says The Indianapolis baseball
players were mobbed here at the con-
cusion of the game. During the game
there were many close points of play
and the decisions of Umpire Sheridan
were taken exception to by the
heachers. In the eighth inning the
game was stopped for fully I5 minutes,
the crowd surging into the field and
making all sorts OF riotous demonstra-
tons Umpire Sheridan was threat.
eaed, as were the indianapolis players
who stood by him and prevented vio-
lence. After the game had been fin.
hhed and Indianapolis had won the
Gowd became frenzied. A rush was
made for Sheridan and as a result
llree OF the Indianapolis men were in
pred Motz, Hogan and Fisher. The
a'ters ankle was sprained and Motz
and Hogan received bruises about the
lace and body, though their injuries
are not serious.

"a .o commerce. This will be the first
lime China has granted this clause to
Jsnau. It assures to Japan the lowest
rate Of duty OH articles sent to China
that the latter country exacts from any
other country.
Japan is thus placed on equal terms
for the first time with Great Britain,
the United States and other great pow

the estab ishment of Japanese consular
courts in China for the trial of Japan
sse. This is to insure the Japanese
against the crude judicial system and
harsh punishments of China, and is
similar to the consular courts that
other leading nations maintain IN

Sensational Episode In a Philadelphia
Barroom.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l2.-Champion
James j. Corbett and Robert Fitzsim-
mons had an impromptu set-to in the
barroom of Green's hotel, but neither
man was injured. Both men are
stopping at the hotel. Corbett reached
this city from Wilmington, where he
spared four rounds with John Nc
Vey. He, in company with his brother
Joe and some friends, went down to
their hotel, where they met Fitzsim-
mons in the barroom. Corbett
walked up to the New Zealander and
said:
"Well, you're shooting off your
mouth again about me tiunking out Of
that bicycle race, and that you would
pull my nose. Now, I'll do the nose
pulling" And with this remark the
big champion gave Roberts nasal or
gan a smart tweak. The two men
clinched, but before any damage was
done they were separated. When the
quarrel had apparently been smoothed
over Corbett walked over to Fitzsim.
mons and spat in his face. The New
Zealander was apparently not anxious
to tackle the champion, and Fitzsim.
mons was taken out of the hotel by
some friends.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 12.-The
Associated Press representatives re-
turned during the evening from the
burned district near Summit, west Of

waste, but unless heavy winds spring
up settlers feel confident the worst is
over. In logging camps of Mason
county men are still guarding against
flying embers, while others are re-
building burned out camps. The big
fire started about IL miles from here,
where the flames had full play, and
are raging all the way to Elma over a
large territory on both sides of the
road. Several ranches are in danger
and occupants are using every means
for protection from the flames. In
most cases they are fighting fire and
many of them have buried all their
valuables, clothing. etc, to save them
in case they are obliged to flee.

was filed with boiling tar and al

OMAHA, Aug. l2.-There now APP
pears to be a fair prospect that the fire
and police board muddle will be settled
in the courts, as suggested by Governor
Holcomb at the very inception of the
trouble. The injunction case, decided
Saturday, settled none of the issues in
volvsd, and in passing upon the petit
ton for an injunction the judge in
timated that the proper procedure
would be for the claimants under the
Churchill Russell appointment to bring
quo warranto proceedings against the
old board. The present incumbents
have always claimed they were ready
and anxious TO JON issues on the
rights to the Office in legal pro-
ceeding.
