SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II. - Late this
afternoon a warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Managing Editor A w. Lawrence
and G. S. Aitken, exchange editor of the
Examiner, at the instance of Claus Sprecix-
els, the sugar king, charging them with
criminal libel. This is generally understood
to be retaliatory measure due to the ac-

Continued Improvement in Trade,

1t is exaggeration to say that there is
general improvement in trade and that in some
lines it is reaching large proportions. In dry

much the same story. Grocers. never sold more
goods than at the present time and the OUTLOOK
for big fall trade with boot and shoe men, hat

be much brighter The produce men report their

their coming visit and will try to make
it interesting for them while they are
here.
Best of all, we've got good man to
separate balls and strikes and trans
late the plays on the bases, and it is
hoped that Judge Clark will continue
to Unfortunately distribute justice
as he has the past two days. Mr..
Clark has carefully perused President
YOung's latest Interpretation of the
balk rule and he is going to put it
into operation at once. The rule is
clearly made for the baserunner's pro-
lection with view to improving one of
the best features of the game-base-
running-and applies directly to the
pitcher in the following language:
ANY motion which does, in fact, de-
ceive the baserunner, whether inten-
tional or not. is a balk." We can
therefore occasionally look for ad-
vancement of baserunneTs by a balk.
The aim is to handicap the still too
predominant pitcher.
Three straight from the Twin City
Tigers, three from the Houston Buffal-
Os. two from the Midlanders, with pros
poets for another, and one from the
Galveston Sand Crabs-a total of nine
victories out of eleven games played
at home-is not a very bad record for
such "dubs" as Mike O'Connor got to-
gether for San Antonio They would
have at least taken two from Calves
Ton, but just at that time that little
unpleasantness arose.
Next Sunday closes the series at
home. The Bronchos then go to Sher-
man, where they play May II, Is, 10,

A New Financial System.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs to our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection, because its vol
ume and redeemability will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions of the presi-
dent. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain a sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of a pound and the length of a
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value.
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business of the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government notes.-Iron
Age.

DISTURBED A REVIVAL.

Henry Fuchs, while in an intoxicated
condition, entered the revival tent of
the Free Methodists at the corner of
North Pine and Brooks last night and
raised a disturbance for which he was
arrested.
He pretended to be making obeisance
at the altar during the progress of the
sermon and went through all kinds of
ridiculous gestures, refusing to leave
the tent when asked. Rev. Murphy,
one of the preachers, together with an
other man took him in a buggy and
brought him to town where they turn
ed him over to officer Kneeland.
This morning Recorder Lewis heard
the evidence and fined him FIVE dollars,
with a promise to make it heavier
should he commit such an act again.

One of Our Leading Citizens Succumbs

Mr.. Rafael Diaz, aged 81 years, the
we'll known tobaccOnist of Alamo pla-
"a. died suddenly yesterday morning
at about o'clock at his residence cor

from an attack of heart disease. He
had spent Saturday evening with his
family and a few friends in a little
gathering at his residence and seemed
to suffer no premonitory symptoms of
the attack, but about 2:30 he awoke
with a severe pain at his heart and
a physician was sent for. Mr.. Diaz
expired shortly after the doctor arriv-
