EXPRESS COMPANIES WILL NOT
REPORT EARNINGS ON INTER-
STATE BUSINESS.
DECIDED ON THIS COURSE
AT A MEETING OF THE MAGNATES
WITH RAILROAD COMMISSION
ERS YESTERDAY.
MUST RESORT TO THE COURTS.
That Seems to Be the Only Course
Open to the State in the
Premises.

The express companies doing BUSH
ness in this state will not submit to the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion an annual report of their business
up to Dec. l this year, as provided by
law, nor will they pay the $500 a day
penalty for the failure to, do so, also
provided by law, either.
This conclusion was reached yester-
day at an entirely harmonious meet
ing held in the Office Of the commits
sion, at which there were present the
commissioners, Comptrollers Earring
ton and Gray, of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific express COM
panies, General Manager Footner and
Auditor Elliott, of the Great Northern
Express company; General Superin-
tendents Naylor and Crossett. of the
American and United States COM
panies; Local Agent Owens, of the
Adams, and General Agent Wetzel, of
the Wells-Fargo company.
The blank form of report which the
commissioners had prepared and hoped
the express company officers would be
able to adopt was taken up and dis
cussed at length. Objection was made
to several features, mainly the n
touching on the interstate business
done by the various corporations. The
express men explained that while their
inclination was to accede to the re-
quests of the commission, such a thing
as reporting their interstate business
would be almost out Of the question,
necessitating, as it would, the keeping
Of their books and records in a manner
entirely, different from the one now
in vogue.
Other minor changes were found nee
essary, and after some deliberation the
commissioners agreed to have the
amended form draw up for adoption.
70 add somewhat to the complication,
it was found that some of the repre-
sentatlveS Of the Eastern companies
were not clothed with authority to
adopt even the amended form on sight,
so the matter was held over until the
new form can be prepared and sub
be ready by the end Of this week, and
it is extremely improbable that it will
contain n blank spaces in which is
to be recorded the interstate business
of the companies operating in this and
neighboring states.
Aside from the points stated, the
form, it is said, will meet the approval
of the companies, who will begin MAX
ing their reports some time after the
first of the new year, the season to
be agreed upon later.

BRILLIANT TENNIS.
American and English Experts
Matched at HOboken.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-There was brilliant
tennis playing In the opening matches Of the
International tournament at Hoboken today.
The visiting English experts arrived from Bos-
ton on Sunday night. America is represented
by r. D. Wrenn, champion of the United
States; Geo. Wrenn, the old Massachusetts,
champion, and w. A. Larned, fresh from his
laurels at Longwood. The courts were in
prime condition.. The American players were
not as successfukas had been expected, Larned
being the only one to defeat his man. Larned
was drawn against Nesbitt, the youngest of
the English trio. and though the latter put up
a clever game, he was ultimately beaten by
a score Of three sets to one.
Larned won the toss and chose the ser
Vice, winning the opening game in four
straight points. The American seemed in
splendid form, capturing four straight games
before Nesbitt could pull himself together.
The Englishman won the two following games.
Larned won the set at 6-2. Larned played
less brilliantly in the second set. He took
the fifth and seventh games, however, which
finally left the score 60 in Nesbitt's favor.
In the two following sets Larned fairly sur
passed himself in smashing and driving and
his game had force and confidence behind 1t.
The match between Mahoney and G. L..
Wrenn was decided on an adjoining court.
Mahoney whining in three straight sets. The
result was considered a ~foregone conclusion.
The match between caves and r. D. Wrenn
was intensely interesting. The advantage
swung back and forth during five long sets
and not until the very last strokes were played
was 1t possible to predict the result. Wrenn
was finally beaten by a score Of three sets to
two

DETROIT. Mich. Aug. 3.-Detroft took the
first of the series of three from Minneapolis
here today by a score of Ii to 8. The Millers
had a lead of one in the fourth and held it
for two innings. when the Wolverines heavy
hitters began lighting on Phillippi. They kept
this up during the remaining two innings,
and, though the Millers touched UP Egan
freely throughout the game, they couldn't
cut down the lead. Deadly, Boyle and Parrott
were the Minneapolis batters, whose stick
work brought runs, Deadly and Parrot each
making a three-bagger. Boyle, however,
was off on his throwing, and his three errors
let in as many runs. Aside from this Min
neapolis played a pretty clean game, but
was up against a streak Of batting that De-
troit has recently acquired. Letcher scored
for Minneapolis in the first on errors by
Hines and Egan, after being hit by Egan.
Detroit got two on two hits and an error
by Letcher, but no more after that. until

Special to the Globe.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. S.-Rettger
pitched splendid ball today, and with
perfect support shut out the Saints.
Rettger had splendid control and did
not give a single free base. Denzel
was on the a for the visitors, and
besides giving six free bases was hit
much harder than the score shows.
Mertes'~ batting and fielding for the
locals and Preston's and Hollings-
worth's fielding for the visitors were
the features of the game. The Saints
errors were numerous and very costly.
The Saints did not get a man beyond
second base, and only six reached first.
That was as near as they could como
to scoring. The Senators scored four
runs in the sixth and four in h ninth.
In every inning except the seventh
they had chances to score, but the
batters who were due were not equal
to the emergency. In the sixth Genins
led off with a single and Crooks vas
given a base on balls. Then McGarr
knocked a grounder at Denzer, who
was slow in fielding the ball, but threw
to third in time to force out Genins.
had Nyce held the ball. Nyce feared
q collision and tried to stop the ball
with n hand, allowing it to get by
him, and Genins and Crooks scored,
while McGarr went to third. Buckley
went out from second to first and
Rettger knocked a grounder down to
Nyce. who threw to the plate to catch
McGarr. Kline allowed the ball to set
by him and McGarr was safe. Rettger
did not see the play and overran first
base. He started for second, but was
too slow as Glasscock was waiting for
him with the ball. Hulen her knock
ed the ball over Georges head for a
home run. Mertes singled and stole
second, and Tebeau drew a base on
balls. Mertes was caught between
second and third when Tebeau went
down to second. In the ninth a single
by Mertes, a three-bagger by Tebeau
and a single by Frank earned the
Senators two runs. Genins reached
first on Nyce's bad throw to first and
Crooks single scored Frank. After Nc
Carr and Buckley went out on foul
flies Rettger was given four wide ones
and the bases were filed. Hulen drew
a free base and the fourth run was
forced in, Genins crossing the plate.
Mertes dumped a grounder down to

KLoNDYKE TRAVEL CROWDS.
Railroads Are Filling Up Seattle
very Fast.

Although the local railroads are still
carrying West great numbers of peo-
pie OF both sexes on their way to the
Klondyke gold fields, the present week
lE all probability will mark the de-
parture from here of the last of the
fortune hunters who are successful in
their purpose to reach the coveted spot
before winter sets in. The activity
from the East has added to the popu-
lation of Seattle what that city lost in
the exodus to Klondyke, and before the
last boats leave it will be found that
Seattle's population has, if anything,
increased. Notwithstanding that every
available boat has been impressed into
the service, the accommodations have
been all taken. sc that the few boats
remaining la been seized upon by
Quitting companies who are doing
cut to the railroads certain numbered
accommodations.
For EXAMPLE, Northern Pacific pas. en-
