CHARLOTTE, n. c., March 2S.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Richmond team to-day defeat
ed the worlds champions in a game that
was a heart-breaker. They fought noble
battle with the pennant-winning Bean
eaters. and came out with flying colors.
They have set the town wild with en-
thusiasm over their great ball-playing. A
fourteen-inning game, with every inning
played for all it is worth, is rare thing
in baseball, even with stars on the dia-
mond, but the crowd that were at Athle-
tic Park saw such an exhibition to-day.
Every man of the Bluebirds did credit TO
the team. Manager Wells is, of course,
very much pleased at the victory he won,
but Is not unduly elated by his success.

sionally," he said though we are not In

honors to themselves, though every man
played brilliant ball. Dundon and Leahy
made beautiful catches. Seybold two run

that were simply great. The Beaneaters,
too did brilliant work, but nothing they
did was any better than the work Of Man
ager Weiss men. Boston's run was
made by Beamiss. and was accomplished
by hitting, and Richmond's was captured
the same way. Every run had to be
fought for. The game was fast FOR at no

intense interest was presented in the SEN

had hurried TO the Senate chamber, and
the floor was crowded with them.
When the reading of the Presidents

over the chamber that one literally might
have heard a pin fall. Throughout the
reading OF both the message and the find
ings Of the court. there was not the
slightest demonstration.
The documents were referred 10 the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
Following closely upon the message ana
findings came u speech from Mr.. Money.
of Mississippi, upon his recent observa-
tions in Cuba, and the deductions from
them he had made. His speech was along
the same lines as those of Senators Proc
tor. Galinger, and Thurston.

in the House to-day was listened TO with
breathless interest by the members and

crowded I'm like sardines i'm a box. lust
one wave of applause swept from floor TO
ceiling. and then the death OF Representa-
tive Simpkins, of Massachusetts. was an
nounced. and the House adjourned.
The message was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations without de
bate.
