AT NEW BEDFORD.

Campbell. the rusher, made his first ap-
pearance, Wednesday night with the
New Bedfords, against the Fall River
team. He is clever player and filled the
bill all right, making himself solid imme-
diately with the big crowd present. He
blocked off Wodtke, spelling many a drive
made by that fast man. Roberts worked
well with the new man and the fine pass
ing of Campbell and Doe enabled Roberts
to frequently drive the ball past Cusick.
Fall River was played to a standstill in
the first two periods. Score: New Bed

Gardiner Reporter-Journai: Now
that base ball is practically dead in
Maine, lovers of sport are beginning
this early to talk of that most exciting
of all sports-polo. AS last year was
so successful for this sport, there will
be strong league this year, and Car
diner will be in it with both feet, so to
speak The team will be under the
same management as last year. with
the exception that no out of town man
will have any control in the team but
it will be owned and managed wholly
by Gardiner young men. 1t is probable
that eastman, the peerless goal-tend;
Smith, the heady center, and Doherty,
the champion halfbacll. will wear Car
diner uniforms next season, and these
with Spencer if he can be secured, ana
another good rush to so with him, will
make good team hard TO defeat.
Many improvements will he made this
year for the further pleasure Of the
patrons of the game, and il looks much
as though the season to come will sur
pass last in interest and support.

cleveland IS WITHOUT COAL.
Situation Becoming Serious-St Steamers ant
Railroads Gobbling Up the Coal.

Cleveland, o.. July 9.-The situation
in this city over the coal strike is be-
coming desperate. The Cleveland rail
roads are growing holder in confiscat-
ing coal and those who depend upon a
regular supply are running short.
The Parker of Detroit, has been de-
layed in Cleveland since Sunday, owins
to the action of the Erie railroad. The
boat was loading coal at the Cleveland
Ship Building Companys works. An
Erie engine backed on the high trestle
which leads to the car dumping ma
chine and carried away 30 cars of coal
which We're to have been loaded into
the Parker The boat will have to &c
up light
The Inter Ocean Coal Co, one of the
heaviest fueling firms on the lake, has
only coal enough to last it's customers
a few days. Several other fueling firms
have nearly exhausted their supply.
The Pennsylvania & Ohio Fueling Co
has suspended business altogether in
Cleveland.
The vessel men say that the strike
will cause all but the exceptionally
large boats to lay up. The vessel men
| take indeed a very philosophical view
of the situation. They hold that it will
improve fall traffic and that the miners
will be victorious in the fight.
The great plant of the Cleveland Steel
Company closed, this morning, owing
to the lack of fuel. A number of other
plants are preparing to shut down.

THE CHINESE LEGATION.
The Chinese Minister Rightly Thinks He Car
Stop Where He Sees Fit.

Washington, July 9.-In view of the
published reports as to friction over the
change of location of the Chinese lega-
ton. the Chinese minister reluctantly
made a statement. today. on the subject.
He says that on his recent arrival here
he took the present quarters temporarily
with a view to seeing if they answered
the requirements of the legation.
He found. however. that it was desir-
able to establish the legation i'm the
northwest section of the city. in more
ready communication with other lega-
tons and with diplomatic officials
Moreover, he says. the present legation
lacked the equipment of a furnished
house for which the government was
paying. and was not in the condition he
desired
For these reasons, the minister says,
he declined to make a lease and arranged
to establish other quarters, the change
to occur on Aug. l. He expresses much
regret that his change of plans has
caused any friction. but feels that he
has only exercised the usual right of a
tenant to secure the most :suita bic ac-
commodations for his needs
The minister expressly disclaims any
purpose to stand upon the immunites
given to the representatives, of foreign
governments. and says that if need be he
would gladly submit the matter of any
claim against the legation to any impair
tial arbitrator.
At the legation no Importance is at

recall. which are believed to ne an out
growth of the misunderstanding over the
flcgation.
