MURDERER EBANKS.
Highly Improbable That He VIII

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Latte TINS
afternoon the attorneys for j. D.
Ebanks. the San Diego murderer, ap-
piled to Judge De Haven, in the United
States District Court, for writ OF
habeas corpus, directed to the Warden
of San Quentin Prison, on behalf OF
their client. but Judge De Haven hav-
ing just adjourned court, refused to
hear the petition until tomorrow. The
attorneys thereupon arranged with the
San Quentin officials to delay the exc
cution of their client until after noon
Tomorrow, in order to give him an
opportunity to present the matter TO
the Federal Court. In the event of the
refusal of Judge De Haven to grant
the desired writ, an appeal viii be
taken to the United States Supreme

that Ebanks will hang tomorrow.
The condemned man has given out
signed statement declaring his fnno-
cence. He asserts that he was virtual
" forced to make the confession he did
in the San Jose Jail. The prison officials
declare that there is no ground for
statements that Ebanks is insane. 1t
is not believed. however, that he will

BASEBALL IN ENGLAND.
Americas National Game Is Gain
ing a FoothoId There.

A. G.. Spalding, the well-known base
ball magnate, who has just returned
from a trip to England, says that he
was more than impressed with the in
terest that is now being taken in base
ball in Great Britain, and for the first
time since it's introduction there it has
promising outlook.
When the American game of baseball
was introduced in England it was ut
terly impossible to make expenses, and
the clubs for years were carried on at a
loss. Now the game has very strong
hold throughout the Midlands and the
North of England. The Derby Club,
for the first time since it was organ
lied, has this year paid all its ex-
penses and can now be considered a
paying venture. This is indeed graf
flying to those who helped build up the
game in England.
While Mr.. Spalding was in England,
the final game for the possession Of the
championship cup was played, the
Derby Club winning, thereby becoming
possessors of the trophy for 1897.
While they have their own associa-
ton in England, they play under the
rules of the National League, and fol-
low our regulations in every respect
nlfnutely.
Mr.. Spalding states that, of course, he
was interested personally in the devel-
opment of baseball in England. His
first connection with the game in that
country dates back to 1874, when he
arranged a trip for the Bostons and
Philadelphia Athletics. On this trip
baseball and cricket was played by the
team very successfully; in fact, Mr..
Spalding even laughs now when he tells
about having played cricket while the
team was in England as baseball play
ers, and succeeded in beating some very
strong cricket teams. While consider
able interest was manifested in the
game at that time-more out of cuTios-
ity than anything else-the good work
then accomplished is now bearing re-
suits
The second invasion of England by
American ball players, occurred in
1889, when Mr.. Spald1ng's Round the
World teams played throughout Eng
land and created a deal of enthusiasm.
After this trip, which was successful
in every particular, team Of college
players visited England in the sum-
ner of 1889 and played several inpor-
tant games. After these trips, num-
Der of prominent English gentlemen be-
came interested in the sport.
One of the most ardent admirers Of
American baseball is Francis Ley, Of
Derby, who has been interested in the
game since 1899. He has gone to con-
siderable expense in fitting up grounds
and paying expenses, and is considered
to-day the head and front of baseball
in Great Britain. He has never lost
any of his interest or enthusiasm. and
he says the time will come when base

Attemnted Suicide.

suicide here to-day by hanging himself.
He arrived in this city recently from
Amador County, and is supposed to be

into an orchard, and tying rope
around his neck and to the limb of a
tree dropped toward the ground. He

ball will be a paying institution if
properly handled and will be as popular
in England as il is in America. H
efforts have certainly been centralized
toward procuring good team for the
Derby Club, and he finally succeeded
in winning the championship cup,
which was presented by A G. Spalding
for the championship of Great Britain
and has been competed for since 1889.
While in England, Mr.. Spalding met
DR.. w. H Wray of the Crystal Palace
Club DR.. Wray, who is an enthusiasts
tic follower of the game, has made a
careful study of the rules and umpires
most of the games that are played
there, and is in every particular a
crank"
1t seems to be a hard thing to make
any other game than cricket popular
in England. Mr.. Spalding, however, IS
firmly convinced OF the merits of base
ball, and feels confident that it will
make for itself a place among Eng
lish sports. To his way of thinking,
after having made a careful survey OF
the field when abroad, the time is not
far distant when an international base
ball match will be played between Eng
land and America. When that time
arrives. Mr.. SpaIding believes that
baseball matches between these coun-
tries will outriVal any other interna-
tional contests ever held, be it athletic,
yacht races or cricket matches. In the
sports just enumerated they attract but
certain classes. whereas, baseball ap-
peals to the masses.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
Statement for the First Full Month
Under the New Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE Bureau
of Statistics has issued the table show
ing the exports and imports for August,
the first full month under the new tariff
law. These figures show for that month
the largest exports of domestic mer-
chandise of any August in the history of
the Government. The exports were
STA 400. .262, against $66, ,6S9, ,9S1 for Au-
gust, 1896. For the first eight months
of the year the exports were SCI SIC, 900
in excess of the first eight months of
1896, so that the bureau officials be-
heve that the exports this year will far
exceed those of last year, which was
its reeord-breaking year in the matter
of exports.
The value of all imports for August
was $39, ,S4S,312, of which $1S,629, ,607
were free. These figures show a de-
crease of S10,00O,000 below those of
1896. The decrease was due to heavy
reduction in the importation of raw
wool, which decreased from 4,651 900
pounds in August last year to 2,S77, ,S77
