SETTLED THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
SncnEerbund BOwlers Defeated the
Carroll Institute Team.

Defeated
Carroll Institute Team.
The Saengerbund bowling team practi-
cally settled the question of the champion
ship of the District Bowling League last
evening by winning three straight games
from Carroll Institute.
The games were played on the Saenger-
btnd alleys, and the largest crowd ever in
attendance at a local bowling match was
present Long before the time for calling
the first game the space allowed for spec
tators was crowded to overfiowing. every
inch of room available for the purpose be-
ing taken advantage of.
The games were of particular interest,
irasmuch as the two teams, both having
won and lost the same number of games,
were tied for first place, and the games,
as above stated, would practically decide
the winner of the league championship.
The Saengers bowled in magnificent form,
putting UP three games all above the 800
mark, and winning handily in each event.
The CAROLS, too, did well in the first two
games. bowling totals that would ordinarily
have been winners. In the last game,
however, they took a tumble and secured
a rather low score. One of the prominent
features of the series was Germans long
string of clean frames, bowling the first
two games without a break and sparing in
the first frame Of thu last game, giving
him run of twenty-one clean boxes, ex-
ceiling all previous league records in that
respect. He also had the highest average
of either team, the good one of 49, Spiess
2l1 in the second event, and, following
close on German, with average of 1s5.
The large number Of difficult spares made
shows clearly the high grade of bowling
credited with 1-2-1O; Bruegger, 1-2-4-10;
Spiess, 5-10; Laue, 81, and German, 81.

The first frame of the opening game saw
Saengerbund take the lead, securing IL
pins the better of the argument, and hav-
ing but one break to two by the visitors.
The German club played beautifully
throughout the first half, the side having
but three breaks in the five frames. The
CAROLS pulled up to dangerous closeness
by the eighth, but made poor finish, the
home team winning by 81 pins

Throughout the early stages of the sec
ond game the contest was close and the
faces of the Saengers wore a troubled look.
Carroll did fine work, securing a lead of ten
pins in the opening frame and increasing it
by nine in the second. The Saengers pulled
up close in the next inning and passed their
adversaries in the fourth frame. c. i.
again went ahead in the fifth, but from
that point the German club led to the fin
ish, easily winning by seventy-two pins.

Notwithstanding Lord Salisbury's as
surance that England would help China
resist any act of aggression that any
power might attempt upon her in conse-
quence of concession to a British sub
iect China has concluded to give In to
Russia, and will withdraw the promised
concession. The meaning of this Is that
Russia's influence at Peking has become
paramount, and that henceforth, unless
England can in some way counterfeit 1T,
Russia will be the real ruler of China,
the Emperor being little more than her
vicsroy. The outcome of this affair has
caused a good deal of alarm in England,
and there are loud demands for the min
istry to do something. But what it can
do it is difficult to see. China has seen
lit to follow r ussia's wishes instead OF
England 8, and there is no way to make her
change her mind except through resort
to force. England did once resort to
force to compel her to open her ports to
the opium trade, but the circumstances
now are far different from what they were
then. She had to fight only China then
now she would have to sight Russia as
we'll, and that is a job she is not likely to
undertake even to keep the door open in
China. The truth probably is that Eng
land has got to consent to accept lower
place in the East than she has been wont
to occupy. The rapid Development OF
Russia's commerce and manufactures
makes it inevitable.

Richard P Bland has had as poor luck
in trying to dictate the platform of the
Missouri Democrats as Congressman
Bailey did in Texas. Bland wanted free
silver kept to the front and opposed ter.
ritorial expansion. Ex-Governor Stone
took the opposite view and the conven-
tion followed Stone, doing nothing for
silver except prefunctorily endorsing the
Chicago platform, and fayoring ter
ritorial expansion to the extent at least OF
taking Porto Rico and coaling station
in the Philippines. In trying to keep
silver to the front and opposing terrltorl-
al expansion, Bland and Bailey were fol-
lowing the lead of Bryan, and the defeat
they encountered would seem to indicate
that the Democrats of Texas and Missouri
at least are not SO "sweet'' on Bryan ss
they were once. probably the idea is be-
ginning to dawn on them that as long as
free silver is kept to the front the Demo-
cratic party will remain disrupted and
hopelessly in the minority, ana therefore
they are anxious to get some other issue
to the front.

Now that the war is over there would
seem to be no good reason why the volun-
teers at Falls Church and Chickamauga
should not, be sent to more healthful
localities. There is hardly possibility
that any of them will be called upon for
service until late in the fall, when it may
be necessary to send some of them to
Cuba and Porto Rico to garrison the
cities. Meanwhile everything possible
should be done to get them into good con-
dition, not only on their own account hut
also on account of the country which they
are serving. It appears to be practically
certain that if they remain where they
are now, the great majority of them will
be on the sick list and worthless to per-
form any duty that may be required Of
them in the fall or winter. No time
should be lost in sending them North
where they may recuperate their shattered
condition. We are glad to see that a
petition is in circulation calling upon
Governor Powers to use his influence to
bring our Maine soldiers back, and that
it is being universally signed. The new
papers and men of influence ought to give
every possible assistance to this movement.
which is in the direction of humanity to
our own people.

LOTS OF ORDERS PLACED.
spain's Plea For Peace Has Goo Effect
On Business.

New York, August 12.-R. G. Dun ~
Co. IS weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Prospects of peace have had curious
influence on business contracts, not quite
explainable on common sense grounds.
Nobody really feared disaster or exhaus-
ton of national resources and nobody
feared that anybody else was afraid ct
either Yet orders unusual in number
and size have been placed since Spain
asked for peace. In some industries the
gain has been large for about two weeks,
while in some textile manufactures it has
on ly begun to appear this week, but it in
wolves considerable increase in the
working force Crop prospects are on the
whole more encouraging, for the govern
ment's latest report as to corn is much
larger than the commercial estimates,
and its cotton return promises heavy
yield, while allowance is made for its
habitual error il its wheat return.
Money markets show no sign of possible
disturbance, securities are stronger. and
there is no harmful speculation in stocks
or products.
Rarely has the financial outlook been
nearly unclouded.
While wheat is four cents higher for
the week, there is less doubt Than q week
ago that it will rule lower during the
coming year. The price OF corn has de-
clined shade for cash, and the govern
ment report promising almost 2,0OO, 0Uo,
600 bushels, against 1895, 90. QUO bushels
promised by commercial accounts, has
more weight because the official returns
as to corn have not been Systematically
misleading and every where discredlted.
A slight furry in COTTON lifted the price
a sixteenth on Tuesday, but IT dropped
again the next day with the o11lclai Tor
shadowing of large yield. In spite OF
all wars of rates, the railroads are doing
an enormous and profitable business
with heavy years traffic to come. The
demand for steel is so heavy that some
of the biggest concerns have been buying,
one taking 10000 tons. advancing the
price at Pittsburg from Sl4.b0 to Sl5.25,
which was at last refused.
Plate-makers are crowded to the point
of refusing orders, both east and west,
and bars are stronger with many mills
engaged for weeks ahead.
In the minor metals there is heavy buy
ing, especially OF copper at 1l.75 for lake,
and of lead, which closed at cents, while
tin rose with London quotations to 1925
cents.
The demand for wooden goods is now
Juuch better, although not yet extensive
enough to warrant paying the prices
asked for new wool. and nearly all the
buying has been of old stock.
Nothing has come of the proposed
stoppage of production III Fall River cot
ton lnills,a land the mills are generally run
ming full time. The demand for goods
is little better as to staples, and fairly
good for print cloths, prints and ging'
hams, and yet probably does not suffice
to cover the current output. The eastern
boot and shoe concerns shipments during
the past two weeks were 8 per cent less
than in 1895.
There is still dispute between holders
and buyers, and leather is inactive and
hides slightly lower.
For the week failures have been 1856 in
the United States, against 239 last year
and IS in Canada against 38 last year.

HOW SPAIN TAKES 1T.
Note From the Cabinet Letting Them

Madrid, August 12.-The Spanish gov
eminent this morning notified the French
minister for foreign affairs, M. del Case,
of it's acceptance of the protocol and asked
the French government to transmit to
M. Cambon, the French ambassador at
Washington, such power as, in conformity
with President McKinley's expressly for
mulated desire. will authorize him as
ambassador of France at Washington TO
sign the protocol.
The question of the acceptance of the
protocol having been finally settled and
its signature explicitly and definitely au-
thorized, the government is now consider.

means of allayirg The excitement and
propagating the idea that Spain sur
render is not so complete as indicated by
the bald terms of the protocol. AS the
first step in this direction, a semi-officiaI
note has been issued as follows:
fThe government is OF the opinion that
the most critical period of the peace
negotiations has now arrived, as it de-
ponds upon the arrangement OF details as
TO whether the peace will be moro or less
ad yautageous. Spain wishes to preserve
her sovereignty over the whole OF the
Philippines, to which she proposes TO &C.
cord all political and administrative re-
forms consistent with the maintenance of
her sovereignty.
Sin regard to the evacuation of Cuba
and Porto Rico, it would be asked that
the army be allowed to depart honorably
and that assurances be given guarantee
ing that foreign trade will not suffer.
The army which has not been conquered
will return to Spain with it's guns, arms
and ammunitions. In regard to the
Cuban debt, as the United States refuses
to assume it Spain will endeavor to ar
range with the Cuban treasury to pay it
