The entire left field fence is already

Shor-stop Knau hurt a finger of his
right hand while at practice yesterday
and was relieved by Con Harlow, who
put up good game at short, showing
that he is valuable man for team.
1t is not very manly to abuse an
umpire from a crowd. The proper way
is to get the umpire alone, face to
face, and then and there tell him that
he is rotten 1t would suit the umpire
much better.
The Bronchos doomed up in their
new clothes yesterday like pair OF

are to have gray coats to match which

The village just outside the gate of
Canea was surrounded by interna-

Then a band of burly Montenegrans
marched into the village to collect all
the arms hidden in the houses by
Bashi Bazouks. At first it looked as
if there would be a fight in the streets.
The MOslemS of this village, mostly
blacks, refused to give up their rifles.
The Montenegrans were preparing,
with fixed bayonets, to clear the
streets and search the houses when
the leader of the Bashi Bazouks ar
rived on the scene and compelled the
villagers to comply with the request.
One by one the guns were given up.
Over a hundred were gathered in.
Seven hundred rifles, given by the gov
eminent to private individuals, still
remain in Canea. The government
has agreed to have these given up to-
morrow.

AS for Ford DiX's men, they are not
to be moderated. They will give any

WANTS TO BUY
THREE ISLANDS
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
Has the Territorial Dis
ease Badly.
He Is Now Preparing a Bill to Pur-
chase the Danish West
Indies.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-A special to the
Times-H Herald from Washington says:
Senator Lodge is preparing a bill IA
voring the purchase of the three
islands of st. Thomas, st. Croix and St.
John, owned by Denmark in the
West Indies.
The Senate passed a resolution
year ago asking the State Department
to ascertain whether the islands were
still for sale. at what price they were
held and whether any other country
was after them. Denmark has replied
that she is still willing to sell and that
two European Governments are now
negotiating for their purchase. These
are supposed to be Great Britain and
Germany.
The United States has been discuss
ing this purchase for nearly thirty
years. In 1868 negotiations went so far
that a treaty was negotiated for the
purchase by which this country was to
pay $S,000,000 for the islands, but it
failed Of ratification. On this occasion
the people of the islands voted on the
question and decided almost unani-
mOusly for annexation.
The Danes do not want any Euro
pean power to secure possession of
made to the United States to purchase
at a comparatively small figure-al-
most nOthing-for it has been prac-
tically determined by Denmark to
either sell these islands or to renounce
them. Most Of the residents Of the
islands are British immigrants, and
their first move after securing inde-
pendence would probably be to pc
tition England for a protectorate. The
present expense of maintaining a gov
ernment on the islands reaches $50, 900
year. Considering her position in
the European concert, it is not thought
necessary for Denmark to maintain a
station in the West Indies, hence her
Willingness to sell.
st. Thomas has a harbor large
enough to accommodate the navies of
the whole world, and in view of the
advantages to be gained, Senator
Lodge is sanguine of securing an ap-
preparation that will enable the islands
TO be transferred to the Jurisdiction of
the stars and stripes.
The three islands have a total Of 100
square miles of territory and a popu-
lation of 10000. st. Croix is the big
gest, with sixty square miles and 23, 900
population. The island is very fertile,
and gives an excellent crop of all trop-
ical products, especially sugar.
