erv of the biggest g.5 we'll ever
struck in the STAT ot West N1ra

in the United States, the big

the largest in the world pre-
yious to this one. The we'll IS
located on the Charles Uhi iarn'
and the noise ofthe escaping gas
can be heard for miles, The
we'll was SO strong that, although
it took fire, it blew itself out,
Efforts will be made at once to
control the immense pressure,
and put it to commercial uses.
The pressure is SO great that

HOW WE LOST.

Whether any deaths have oc-
Cured, as a result of the game OF
base ball, played here, between
the Portsmouth, Va, team and
our boys Saturday, July 4th, we
have not heard. But disappoint-
ed crauks, and sore throats were
as numerous as silver delegates
to the Chicago Convention.
1t was pitchers battle royal
from start to finish, and was en-
|joyed by the spectators. Every
body was happy (when we were
ahead) and even the man, that
stole last years umbrella, was
forgiven and told to shout.
Quertoll, the queer man, who
manipulated the horse hide TO,
the visitors, was very effective
holding our boys down to 10 hits
and striking out IS men.
Mills, of the home team, also
pitched great game; 10 stall
Wart Virginians falling before
his mighty arm, and only allow,
ing his guests 7 hits-two o.
which, were what is known as
"Texas Leaguers."
Our boys out batted and GU
helded the visitors, but could no
bunch their hits.
Considering this is the frs
time they have played this yea
the boys did we'll, and with
little practice will show VI
strong-as the team is composet
of good material.
The Portsmouth team are
gentlemanly set of ball player
and are always in the game.
Mills batting was great, fou
times at bat, four safe hits AM
four runs. Sanders at first AM
Johnston at short played gilt
edge ball, SO did E. Broughtol
for the visitors. Ziegler umpire'
a clean game and gave entir
satisfaction. In a word, we los
because the Portsmouth boy
made more runs than we die

Bringing the Truth Home.

General Campos the Spanish
commander, who was recently
recalled from command of the
forces of Spain in Cuba, and who
was succeeded by the butcher,
Weyler. says as follows in the
Spanish Senate:
"Since 1873, instead of attract
ing Cubans, we have repelled
them by bigger taxes and ln>
creased tariff. It is necessary to
give our Cuban brethren what
they have a right to ask, and let
Europe know we are ready to es-
tablish in the West Indies every
conceivable reform that has been
promised. Let our vanity yield
in the presence of the considera-
ton that war costs too many
millions and too many lives.
think war might have been pre-
vented if reforms had been es
tablished.'

What Will Come oft?

As predicted in these columns more
than three months ago, the SILVER m I'VE
ment has succeeded in the democratic
party and the two great pal ties are fac
ing each other with Numerically oppo
site views concerning the country's met
al money. The republican position il
for the gold standard and gold coinage
only, monometalism, the democratic
position is for equal rights in our mints
for both metals at ratio Of gold equal
TO l6 times its weight Of silver. or BIZ
metaIlsm.
The eastern wing Of democracy while
not boiling the Chicago convention will
certainly do something more damaging
to its party, viz, remain nominally
democrats but vote the republican ticket
1t is not too certain however that a con
ference of these democrats will not be
followed by convention at which reg
ularly nominated candidates will be
placed before the people.
The schism in the party Is, here in
the east, of serious weight and influence
and will probably render such states as
New York, Delaware and Maryland
reasonably certain to cast majority Of
votes for the republican ticket.
Defeat Of the democratic party on the
silver issue will mean disruption just
what will follow its success must be
waited for to learn, inasmuch as a
wholly new condition of affairs would
be brought about, concerning the effect
and outcome of which it ia now only
possible to speculate.
