SANTA CLARA WON.
A Clever Game Of Ball Played at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2-At Cen
trail Park this afternoon the Santa
Clara College baseball team defeated
Santa Cruz by a score of 4 to 3. 1t was
a pitchers battle, but at times there
was good batting, which called forth
excellent fielding on both sides. Nc
Cutcheon of Santa Clara made a run
ming one-hand catch in the field which
evoked applause, and Nash Of Santa
Cruz picked up a red-hot liner and then
threw to first, making a clever double
play.
It was as clever a game as has yet
been witnessed in the league series.
Santa Clara won, but the losers were
not behind the victors in good base
ball playing. Sharp fielding, with few
misses. was the order of the day, and
with that standard set up in the first
inning, each individual Of the eighteen
adhered strictly to it.
Both teams started off with batting
streaKs, and gave promise Of materially
increasing their batting average, but
both Staffani and Balz soon limbered
up and few more safe ones were re-
corded during the remainder of the
contest. Santa Cruz was within an
ace Of tying the score during their last
turn with the stick, but the men from
the college town ended the game and
their opponents hopes by a clever
double play from Shortstop Foley to
first base
Following is the score of runs by in
nings:
Santa Clara .....3 OOO1 90 o.
Santa Cruz ......2 o 0 0 0 0 0-3

IRRIGATION DISTRICT SUIT.
Action Brought to Declare Bonds
Issued Null and Void.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.-Another bill
in equity concerning the legality of an
irrigation district has been filed in the
United States Circuit Court. This time
the Rialto Irrigation District of San
Bernardino County is involved, and, in
cidentally, the Semi-Tropic Land and
Water Company.
The Chincala Water Company brings
suit against the Rialto Irrigation Dis
tr1ct in San Bernardino, and its Off
GERS and Directors, alleging that the
irrigation district has no legal exist
ence, and that all it's acts, and all the
bonds issued are, therefore, null and
void.
The complainant alleges that it is an
Iowa corporation, now transacting bus
iness in San Bernardino County; that
a heavy burden upon its lands has been
imposed by reason of assessments lev
led by the RiaIto Irrigation District,
and that its title has been clouded by
the pretended sales of the lands to pay
these assessments.
The Chicala Company prays to have
the Rialto Irrigation District declared
null and void, primarily for the reason
that the petition to the Board of Su-
pervisors for its organization was not
signed by fifty freeholders owning land
in the territory included in the district
at the time Of its organization.

GERMAN TOPICS.
ENTIRE PRESS REGULATING
UPON THE NAVAL BILL.
IF the Reichstag Refuses to Grant
the Amount Asked for, New
Elections Will be Ordered.

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-(Copyrighted, 1897
by the Associated Press. 1.-The entire
German press is speculating upon the
new naval bill, which is now being
considered by the Cabinet. Both DR..
Miquel. the Vice President of the Coun-
Gil of Ministers, and the Bundesrath
have approved the measure, but before
it reaches the Reichstag it may still be
somewhat changed. The bill asks for
a. total appropriation of 100000, 900
marks to be distributed over seven
wears. and contemplates the construc-
ton Of a score of vessels, Of which ten
are to be large ships. If the Reichstag
refuses to grant this amount Of money
it will be sent home by the Government
and new elections will be ordered forth
with, in which the naval plans Of the
Emperor will be made the principal is
sue, in spite Of t.-- whole Agrarian
partys advice, who in that case, fear
defeat.
The reports in the Turkish newspa-
pers to the effect that Turkey is ne
gotiating with Germany for a special
defensive alliance, and that Turkey is
on the point of joining the Dreibund
are denied emphatically at the Ger
man Foreign Office. The correspondent
of he Associated Press, however, learns
from diplomatic circles that approaches
to that effect have repeatedly been
made by Turkey during the past three
months, and that there is variance
of opinion on the subject between En-
peror William and Baron Won Bulow
on one side and Prince Hohenlohe, the
Imperial Chancellor on the other side,
the latter distinctly rejecting all such
oVertures.

SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE.
Supposed Second Attempt at IN
cendiarism.

About 1 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered in the rear Of the Cen
trail House that had every appearance
of being the work of an incendiary.
Recently an empty barrel was placed
under the back porch and against the
rear of the hotel, which part of the
structure is of wood. Someone had
filled the barrel with paper and other
refuse, and the contents were on fire
when discovered at the hour named.
About three weeks ago some hay or
straw was found on fire in the same
place, and Mr.. Hornlein declares that
in neither instance was the stuff that
was on fire placed there by anyone
connected with the hotel, so far as he
could learn The natural conclusion is
that someone has sought to set fire to
the building.
Special officer Almos has endeavored
to obtain clew to the mystery, but
thus far has been unsuccessful. Now
that suspicion has been aroused, how
ever, precaution will be taken to catch
the incendiary should another such at

UNION PACIFIC FORECLOSURE.
DETAILS BEING ARRANGED
FOR THE SALE.
Ex-Governor Hoad1ey, Counsel for
the United States, Consu1ts
With McKenna.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Ex- Cover
nor Hoadley, counsel for the United
States in the matter of the Union Pa
cifc foreclosure sale, spent several
hours to-day in close conference with
Attorney General McKenna arranging
the details of the sale on November
1st, and the subsequent transfer of the
Government interest in the property
TO the highest bidder.
Both the Attorney-Genera1 and Mr.
Hoadley were reticent regarding what
further concessions had been made by
the Reorganization Committee, but it
is understood from perfectly trust
worthy sources that the committee has
acceded to the Governments conten-
tion that its lien on the Union Pacific
Road includes the Omaha bridge. and
that il has increased its capital bid so
as to make the entire concession at ap-
proximately S5,000000. This would
make their guarantee offer for the
property. including the sinking fund
now in the treasury. about $4,000, 600
So far as can be learned the Reor-
ganization Committee will be the only
bidder at the sale. and in all probability
the transfer will be consummated by
the payment OF the purchase price by
December 1st, or very soon thereafter.
Treasury officials recognize the fact
that the withdrawal from circulation of
S45.n00000 in cash at one time might
have a very serious effect in the money
market, and in consequence are devils
ing plan by which the force Of the
shock may be reduced TO the minimum
No determination Of the question has
yet been reached, but it seems probable
that at least S30.0o0.000 Of the amount
may be placed on deposit with a Gov
ernment bank until January LIST, when
it will be needed for the redemption
Of the 6 per cent. subsidiary bonds ma
turing on that date. The remainder
of the purchase money, It is thought.
may be safely transferred to the Treas
ury.
