President Crane Of the Atlantic league has
frankly admitted that an umpire who un-

shining proof standing high above this

it Is the overstrained intensity which puts
the stamp of honesty upon every game

sousa's First Compositions.

The price which the famous composer
and bandmaster John Philip Sousa re-
ceivcd for his first Ave compositions was
$50 each The first summer Sousa was at
Manhattan Beach he was approached by
Church of Cincinnati, who desired an ar
rangement with him by which he should
become his future publisher. Sousa was
satisfied, and so mt first refused TO discuss
the subject. "Well, =" said Church, Twill
you take m offer?" "Well, " said Sousa,
"you can make an Offer There's no need
of my accepting il. +" Well" said Church,
I'm give you 5000 for each march and 15
per cent Of the net proceeds Of the sale.
The composer was dumfounded. He
wrote to the publisher of his former COM
positions, who Immediately duplicated the
offer of the Cincinnati man, but afterward
Withdrew 1t. Sousa then accepted the terms
of Church, and has wCfsed with him since.
For the Washington Post, " probably
the most popular thing he ever wrote up
TO within two or three years he received
$35. Hundreds of thousands of copies--a
million-havo been sold. Under the new
arrangement, say, for the Liberty Bell,
he is already in receipt of s2S,00 That's
the difference. And the Cotton King"
march, which is only one year old, has al-
ready nettcd him over 500 coo. In fact,
Sousa can count on an income of SEQ, 600
a year from the publication of one march
every twelvemonth. Quite difference,
isn't It, from $50? Yet had he stEid in
Washington he would have been satisfied
with n government salary and $50 aye'r.

1ng's session of the American Bankers
association Convention delegates from
Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, California,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North
Carolina and Pennsylvania reported on
the general condition of banking in their
States. The reports showed the banks
IN the different States to be in healthy
condition. Henry Y. Yates of Omaha,
Neb., said that in the three years from
1872 TO 1895 the banks Of Nebraska had
lost on deposits nearly S25, 900, 000 He
claimed this was due to depression in
real estate, low prices for crops and the
unsettled condition of affairs on account
CT the currency question.
At this afternoons session President

of the Nominating Committee: NJ NJ
White, Cincinnati; T. z. Day. Pitts

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
RUSSIA WILL BE READY In
CASE OF A CRISIS.
Great Activity in the Northeastern
Part of China-Placing 1t in Con-
ditiOn for Defense.

LONDON, Sept 23.-A special dis
patch to the Globe" from it's CORE
spondent in Shanghai states that the
Russians are displaying great activity
in the northeastern part of China, and
are placing the country in condition
for defense.
Russian engineers have been busily at
work at Port Arthur for weeks. That
important place was left in bad condf-
ton when the Japanese abandoned it
at the close of the war with China.
The Russians are now placing every
thing in good order. The docks and
war ships will soon be in better condi-
ton than ever before and vast supplies
of coal are being collected there for the
use of the Russian war ships. The
place was a very important naval sta
ton when under Chinese control. With
the help of Russia it can be made prac-
tically impregnable.
The Russian war ships in the Pacific
are more numerous than the British.
though hardly as formidable. There is
an ominous activity about them, too.
Everything indicates that orders have
been issued to have matters in good
shape should a European war break
out.
1t has always been said that the prin-
cipal object of Ii Hung Chang's recent
trip around the world was to meet the
Russian authorities and bring about an
understanding between that country
and China. From the activity prevail
ing now in and around Port Arthur, it
is believed that satisfactory arrange
ment has been reached, and that there
will be some sensational developments
within a short time

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.

PEORIA Qll), Sept 23.-The boiler of

quarter Of mile of the scene of the re-
markable accident
Pieces of the engine We're picked up
1000 feet away and one of the big drive
wheels was hurled 400 feet from the
track.
James Long, the fireman, was thrown
many feet in the air, had an iron bar
driven through both legs above the
knee and was terribly scalded. He died
in few hours.
The engine was standing 100 feet from
the Cummings Header Works when the
explosion occurred, and $50 feet of the
wall Of the building was crushed in. No
one was at work in the building, or
there might have been more fatalities.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Reign Has Exceeded That of Any
Other British rlOnarch.

LONDON. Sept. 23.-With the dawn
of to-day Queen Victoria's reign had
exceeded that of her grandfather,
George II. ruled 50 years, 3 months and
longer than any other British monarch.
Georeg III. ruled 50 years, 3 months and
2 days. Her majesty has sat on the
throne 50 years. 3 months and 3 days.
All public rejoicings, however, have
been deferred until July of next year,
when, if spared, the Queen will have
actually completed reign of sixty
years.
The Mayors of London and other Eng
lish cities wired messages to the Queen
at Balmoral this morning congratulat-
ing her majesty upon having occupied
the throne longer than any other Brit
ish sovereign. The church bells through
cut London and other cities were rung
this morning in honor of the event.
