Seem to Be the Only Salvation for a
Topeka Ball Club.

The officers of the Topeka club endeav-
ored to secure the consent of the resi-

bly, be the last game that will be play
ed in this city this year. Yesterday but

titled with base ball in this city in the
past are already talking of securing a
place for Topeka in the western assOci-
alton or possibly the western league
next year It is proposed to move the
ball park to a location south of the city

WANT THE PHILIPPINES
If the People of the Islands are Will
ing.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 27-very little pro-
gress has been made by the four state
conventions in session here. The two
wings of the Populists did not unite.
The other parties refused to have any
thing to do with them unless they do
get together. The Democratic cOnven-
ton adopted a platform. It favors free
coinage of silver, reduction of tariff,
condemns the issue of bonds and favors
the election of senators by direct vote.
On questions of the war, it says:
I'VE declare our allegiance to the
Monroe doctrine and are strenuously
opposed to the annexation of Cuba, be-
Heving the inha bitants of that island
should be given the opportunity of self
government We also advocate the re-
fention of all territory acquired by
American valor and war waged for hu-
mainly, always provided the people to
be governed yield their consent.
