BATES BALL PLAYERS.

The baseball aspirants at Bate are be-
ginning in earnest to get in their work
for positions on the team that will repre-
sent the college this spring. There are
two positions to be filed, made vacant
by the graduation in the class of '97. of
Burrill and ex- Captain Slattery. BurriIl
played left field, and Slattery second
base and pitcher.
This year the team is under the man
agement of Ernest L. Collins, of the class
of 49, with Nathan Pulsifer of the
class of '99 as captain. Mr.. Collins is a
man we'll acquainted with the work of
managing the team, having been scorer
last season. "Nate - is too well known
to need any comment as to his ability as
captain He filled that position on the
football team of '97 and to the perfect sat
dent body.
The candidates for the team have been
at work under the direction. of. Capt. Pull
sifer, and Instructor Bolster for some
weeks, most of the work thus far having
been done in the gymnasium. The cage
in the basement of Parker Hall has been
lately repaired, the windows screened,
the Getting sheathed, and the ends heavily
planked.
The men of last years team are all get
ting into the preliminary work In good
shape and will no doubt again fill their
old positions. In the infield second base
| Is vacant and there will in all proba ILL
ty be lively contest for the position.
Smith, Oh, and Putnam, '0l, are the most
promising candidates.
1t is also said that Putnam has aspira-
| tions to play in Quinn's shoes at third,
but 1t is doubtful If he succeeds. Iii the
outf1eid Joe" Bennett will again attend
to centre field as he has done for the last
three years. Hinkley will probably play
right field, while LETT field is still very
uncertain. Among those who are trying
for the position are bennett 'Ol, Davis,
'0l, Maerz, '01, Hussey 100, and also Put
nam will make bid for it if he fails in
the infeld.

On Wednesday five negroes were

Governor Johnston received message
from the sheriff that . mob was assemb-

would be taken from him, and asked
for troops.
The governor soon got together
what was left OF the local military
companies and started . special train
with about ninety uniformed and arm

reached the Jail the mob had battered
down the doors and taken the prison

Four Of the negroes confessed hay

It has been repeatedly stated ID I

1t has been repeatedly stated In the
y,ast few months that the ships Of
nations at war could not pass through
Che Suez Canal. That was the COM
mon belief, and many people who
xrided themselves on the accuracy Of
their general information have been
NOT less confused than surprised to
lind, on looking the matter up, that
they were entirely mistak an. The
canal is as free-except for the little
detail Of tolls--to the navies of every
nation and at oil times as arc the
waters Of the open sea itself, and this
has been the case ever since 1885,
Early in that year England, France
and Turkey agreed on convention
making the canal neutral highway,
and few months later ell the powers
/ gave their acquiescence. The instru-
ment explicitly permits the transpor-
cation Of war material and ships Of war
through the canal, whether peace pre-
wallis or not, and only prohibits overt
sets of hostility between or within
Ahree miles OF the termini.

Major General Miles, general-in-

Colonel Maus, Major Davis and Col

Speaking in Q general way of his
observations, General Miles among
other things SAID:
Having spent some time with the
troops, during trying period of hur-
ried preparations, I am glad TO say
that they are splendid body OF mon
which we can we'll be proud Of. As to
the regulars, they are the finest corps
in the world, without any exception,

FALL Of MANILA IMMINENT.

Insargsnts-spsnish Soldiers
Starving.

Advices from Manila, via Hong
Kong, state that Spanish power is
rapidly and irrevocably crumbling in
the Philippine islands.
General Rena and thousand Span.
ish soldiers have surrendered at Santa
Cruz. Similar surrenders have taken
place at Laguna and at Pahpags, and
in each case hardly anybody was killed.
1t is developed that Admiral Dewey
is unable to restrain the insurgents.
but their conduct Is satisfactory. There
Is no necessity for interference, as no
excuses whatever have been commit.
ted. This is partly due to the merely
nominal assistance furnished the in.
surgents. The latter propose to form
republic under Anglo.Americsn
tutelage and threaten TO visit with
severe penalties the insurgents who
have become turncoats.
There was desultory firing Friday
in every quarter Of the outskirts OF the
town with no material result, although
there were several artillery accidents
and one explosion which killed six
Spaniards and wounded many others.
The ammunition OF the Spsniards is
utterly untrustworthy because IL is
old, rotten and has never been tested.
The Spaniards are impotent with rage,
bewilderment and despair.
Cart loads Of food have been stored
inside the walled citadel, with the in.
tention OF standing siege and defying
the American warships. But the idea
is ridiculously preposterous, for the
citadel, so called, 10 totally untenable
against the fire Of q modern feet Of
warships.
There is story current to the effect
that the captain and officers Of the
German warship Irene went to a picnic
ON horseback to the furthest' outpost
OF San Juan, accompanied by the
highest Spanish staff officers. They
had o champagne lunch, and the cap
tain Of the Irene Is said to have made
. speech, during which he declared:
1.-THE Americans will never annex
tha Philippines while William remains
emperor :.
The Germans, II Ia further said, with
their Spanish hosts, might have been
killed by the insurgents, who had the
road to San Juan strongly ambushed.
But it is further asserted the insur-
gents had orders to avoid giving pre-
text for German Intervention.
Finally, il is said, the Germans pro-
posed to remove the wounded Spanish
soldiers to a hospital ship under the
German flag, but Admiral Dewey IL
reported to have replied that hitherto
mediation had always been British,
and it must 30 remain. 4
There is intermittent firing on the
outskirts Of the city in all directions.
The Spaniards are utterly exhausted
by hunger, sleepiiess and incessant
alarms. They have no information re-
garding the enemy's movements until
suddenly attacked. In the meantime,
they are In constant dread OF the pop.
ulace rising up and attacking them in
the rear.
Besides this, in every skirmish di.
rectly the retreat begins the native
troops desert. The insurgents avoid
disturbing the on.combatants, and
English women and children are living
peaceably and unhurt in the zone OF
hOstilities.

All lighted by the day.

Still, in the hearts that walt,
The ship sails evermore.

The arrival in the city yesterday of
Joe Grimes, the champion heavy
weight bicycle rider of the world, rep
resenting the merits of the Cleveland
wheels, for which the Dillon, Wheat G
Hancher Company are sole agents for
this territory, created an immense SEN
sation throughout the city, and Mr.
Grimes was in more sense than one
the biggest man in town. Last even
ing he held a reception at the store of
the firm named. and many hundred
people called to see him and talk over
the superlative merits of the Cleveland
wheel with the big rider.
Some statistics about Mr.. Grimes
will prove interesting reading. He
stands six feet four inches high, is but
twenty-eight years old. and he iocu-
larly adds that he is unmarried His
weight is SOS pounds. He has lost ten
pounds in the past year, a fact which
has almost broken his immense heart
He is afraid he is going TO
pine away" and shrink to mere
shadow of four hundred pounds or So
Mr. Grimes was born in Higginsport

people in point of avoirdupos. His
measurements are: Chest, 62h inches;
waist, GA inches; hips, 70 inches;

kle, Is inches. He wears a 22h col
lar, and a hat which is without num-
ber He is as jolly as he is fat, and
takes the public curiosity with great
good nature, as becomes a genuinely
fat man.
Mr.. Grimes don't know much about
methods for reducing flesh, but he
knows ali about the celebrated Cleve-
land wheel He rides one. 1t is just
an ordinary everyday wheel of that
make, with the twenty-four-inch frame
which everybody buys, but his wheel
has some differences in the handle
bars and pedals, to accommodate his
immense size. He has wheeled over
most of the earth's surface, and on the
18th Of June. last, returned to this
country from an European tour which
covered all the countries from the
British Islands to Italy and from Rus
STA to Spain. He sports fine diamond

made half mile in 1:19.
Mr. Grimes will leave this city Mon
day morning at o'clock via the Pan
Handle. for Wellsburg. and will thence
go to Steubenville, Pittsburg, Johns
town, Altoona, and thence through
Pennsylvania and Maryland to Balti-
more.
Mr.. Grimes has rode the Cleveland
wheel practically all over the United
States. and says it is undoubtedly the
best bicycle manufactured That it is
the strongest, is attested by the sight
CT the giant on it. The Dillon. Wheat
& Hancher Co. are the sole agents for
this wheel in Wheeling and vicinity
and have fine assortment in stock.
