MAcHlAs AT SIAM.
A Gunboat to Protect the Man With An
Elephant on His Hands.

Washington, January 16.-The gunboat
Maohias Left Canton for Bangkok, Siam,
this morning in obedience to cabled or
ders from Secretary Herbert "to protect
American interests" The distance is
about 1000 miles, and the Machias should
reach her destination in about week.
The State Department. declines too
divulge the character Of information
which is has received from Bangkok
which causes the sudden dispatch of a
warship to the scene, but there is no
doubt the attack on United States Vice
Consul Gen. Edward B. Kellett by
Siamese soldiers is at the bottom of 1t.
Press dispatches three weeks ago an
nounced that Mr.. Kellett, who is an un-
paid official appointed b. Minister and
Consul Gen. Barrett two years ago, had
been fired upon and wounded by Siamese
soldiers.
1t was impossible to confirm this news
at the State Department. at the time, but
it was explained then that Mr.. Kellett
had right to engage in trade, and pos
sibly some personal affair of his own had
led to his arrest by the local authorities.
Today it is learned that for some ttime
litigation has been in progress over the
estate of an American named Cheek, who
had valuable teak concession from the
Siamese government. This had been
highly remuneretive during Checks life
time, but when. after his death, 1T Be-
came desirable to wind up his estate, the
Siamese governments stepped in and TOOK
measures to prevent the sale of number
Of elephants he had raised and employed
in getting in timber.
1t is also said that Kellett was the
executor for the estate or the agent OF the
heirs. and his activity in their behalf
had probably led to friction With the
Siamese authorities, who, perhaps. over
stepped the usual legal methods in trying
to get rid of him.
No American warship has been to
Bangkok for about seven years, and
while Minister Barrett has been well re-
oeived there, the Siamese have not had
as much respect for the American flag
as for that OF either Great Britain or
France

come their way.

On MondaJ night the Orients had a
picnic with the Waverleys, winning out
to the tune of 81 pins In very cne-sided
game. The Wsverleys were minus the
services of two of their regular men and
this seemed to demoralize the whole
team. They apparently took little inter
est in the game and tossed balls about
with the same show of Indifference that
a longshoreman shovels coal. The
Orients on the other hand rolled with a
snap and made every ball tell. Dow and
Mitchell put up the best game they have
ever bowlad the former being high
roller with a total of $50 and a single of
108 Mitchell was not far behind with
sS4 as q total and 101 as q single score.
This game was significant for the
reason that it shows how greatly the
Orients have improved during the last
few games. They are bowling with a
dash and spirit that will land them
pretty near the top Of the heap when
the season is ended. There is but little
chance now Of any of the other teams
taking from the Orients the position hey
hold and it may be that they will give
the Crescents hot run for the brush
before the last game Is howled.
The rolling of the Waverleys On Monday
was the poorest Of the season as far as
that team lie concerned and was far be-
low what the men are capable of doing.
The boys are taking tumble to the fact
that every game counts In figuring out

Nsw York, January 16.-President A.
M. Blair Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad, makes the following statement
with reference to the appointment of re-
ceivers for that company;
"The difficulties of this company, result
chiefly from the extremely low rates now
and for some time prevalent In the btu
minous coal track, which comprises more
than half it's tonnage The demoraliza-
ton in rates in this trade has been with
out precedent. Coal has been carried and
sold at such prices ais were never before
known. The most necessitous railroad
has made the rates and the others have
either had to meet them or lose the bust
ness. AT recent meeting of the Board
of Directors of this company formal
protest against the ru1nous cutting of
rates was addressed to the other roads
engaged in the Ohio bituminous coal
trade.
.sNext, after luminous coal. the lar
gest item of the oonpany's freight busi-
ness Is iron ore tonnage. In consequence
of the idleness of mills, furnaces and
other ind uatries the railtoad has had
neither the Gre tonnage nor the haul of
the finished prod uot The coal mines
controlled by the company have also been
hampered by constant strikes. In ad.
dition, the recent bank failures in the
Northwest, where large part Of the GOAL
carried over the company's line is sent,
retarded collections and suspension Of
payments have thus been compelled.
"The interest upon the bonded debt
has been punotually paid. Not one dol
lar is in arrears on thas account and
every effort will be made. to avoid default
in interest.
"Tbe property itself is in excellent
physical condition, having recently had
tina benefit of large expenditures, both
for betterment and additional equip
ment.'

THE BowLERs.
Lots Of Excitement When Leaders Met
Defeat.

The Weeks Events on the Portland Alleys
Good Strings Made by the Cape Play
ers.
The week in bowling circles which
ended Friday night was a notable one
inasnueb as in it one Of the greatest
games of the season was played and the
Crescents, the leaders in the tournament
go far met with their frat defeat. This
deafeat " hich has often been predicted
by the cranks but which never seemed to
materialize in fact WAS as startling a
surprise to tho hitherto inv1ncible Cres-
cents as it was to anyone in the league.
They have often had pretty hard fights
to win their games but somehow thsy
always did win and they began to think
that they always would. But when de-
feat came to them on Wednesday at the
hands of the Tontines the lea ders accept
cd the result as good sportsmen should
and made no EXCUSES for their failure to
win although hard luck certainly had
something to do with 1t. But no one on
earth is rs pbilosophic about such mat
tiers as is bowler and when luck goes
against them they simply saw wood and
patiently wait for ficklo fortune to
come their way.

Water Polo.

There WAS the liveliest kind of polo
playing when the youngsters commenced
ths battle for the possession of the foot
ball floating in the water in the swim
ming tank at the Portland Athletic club
Saturday forenoon. How water polo is
played has been already explained in the
columns of the PRESS. In Saturday s
gape, Pitchers team wen two goals to
one. The next game will be played at
throe O'Clock next Saturday afternoon.
The parents of the boys are eager to see
the fun and will be invited to do SO but
as the accommodations around the tank
for spectators are very limited, 1t will be
necessary to adopt g plan by which the
boys shall take turns in asking their
parents to be present.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-01-18

the general average and as all are am
bilious next week will see much i'm
proven snt in this teams work.
But 1t was on Wednesday night that
the greatest game in the history Of Pines
AIleys took place. Rumors OF hot
game on that evening had been handed
around and everyone was on deck to see
the fun. The Tontines' supporters ware
out in force and while every good play
wns impaEtially spplauded, the Tontlne
got the lions share OF the cheering dur
ing the entire game. In breaking the ice
and taking the first game of the season
from the Crescents good luck favored
the Tontines not little, as has been
said.
Pine with a score of 81, ia and 81 on
he singles and with total Of ESQ did
his share of the work and this popular
young man received enough applause for
his playing to turn the head of less
modest and unassun,ing fellow. Hall
was not far behind Pine in his scores,
rolling up 102, SO and 90 On the three
strings, a total of $50 which is pretty
good showing. Jones, Smith and Wood
each rolled well and with @ vim and
dash that did much towards winning for
them the game. The Tontines led by 16
pins in the first string and by 81 pins in
second making total lead of Sd pins.
But the Crescsnts took great brace in
the third string and the way they

Dallas. January 16.-Fire completely
destroyed the Buckner's Orphan nome
near here early this morning, and 10 oh1l-
,lren were cremated and nine injured. The
dead are Bert, Martin and Milton Brit
ton: Charles Jones, years old; Willie

ard Marks. Arthur W. Edwards, 10;
Oscar Howard, z; Ray King and Charles
o. Axhannon, g. The fatally injured
are Dick Richards, Daniel Gray, 6. and
Charles Friend, 10 years old.
All the dead except one were buried
this evening in the cemetery of the
home. The home physicians are in at
tendance on the injured. There were
147 boys and more than 100 girls in the
home, but all are accounted for.
The fire was discovered about mid
night. Mrs. Britton, the boys matron.
had been in bed some time when she
was awakened by the smell OF smoke.
The floor was so hot that she could
not stand on it. She Immediately raised
the cry of fire. The attaches were hast1-
ly aroused and sent in all directions TO
rouse the children. Such was Mrs.
Britton's anxiety for the snfetJ of the
inmates that she forgot her own chill
dren and, despite her frantic efforts at
rescue, they were burned to death. The
fire is believed to have originated in the
room under that of Mrs. Britton. Be-
fore she retired for the night she had
the boys clean out and prepare STOVE,
situated in the room just under her. for
TIE morning fire. She then seIit one of
the boys to see if the work had been
properly done. He reported that everything
was all right, but it is believed some
live Goals were scattered on the carpet
near the stove which ignited and soon
spread to the woodwork. The building
was of wood and the fire communicated
to it's various wings with incredible
rapidity. The buildings were soon de-
stroyed and at daylight the search for
the bodies was taken up. All the chill
dren were accounted for by noon.
Tue home is 10 miles from Dallas.
