SINGULAR NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels That Have Disappeared
Without Leaving Explanations.

From Leslie's Weekly,
Curious dsappearances and acct
dents to our warships characterized the
early history of our navy, and, in
spite of all the efforts of the navy de-
partment to explain the cause of the
disasters, many of them are as abso-
lutte mysteries today as when they
happened.
When the government built ten new
gunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripoli. in 1905, they were sent out as
soon as they We're finished. and before
they were named. Each one was CIV

scene of the war. No. sailed from
New York June 20. 1905, under COM
mand OF Lieutenant Ogelvie, and after
she cleared Sandy Hook light she was
never heard from again. She went
down with all on board before she had
even been named.
A most extraordinary accident hap
pened to the corvette Monongahela at
Santa Cruz in 1867. While at anchor
in the harbor a tremendous tidal wave
lifted her upon its crest and carried
her clean over the town of Friedrich
stadt and back again without injurine

tent. The receding wave landed her
on the beach instead of in the deer
waters of the harbor, and IL cost our
government 100000 to float her again
Fully as strange was the fate OF the
sloop- Wateree.
She was anchored in the harbor OF

wave swept inland and flooded the

catch which was but slightly fastened
and upon eXtinguishing the lamp. or
rather in the effort to do so, the
lamp fell to the floor, scattering it's
contents in the waste basket and on
the floor and counters, which caught
at once and spread with great rapidty.
In his excitement he threw a bucket
of water on to eXtinguish it, which
caused it to spread still more. But for
the timely assistance of neighbors it
would have been very serious con-
flagration.

SUSPENSION REVOKED.
Action of League Board of Directors
Declared Null and Void.

New York, Aug. 25.-The action of Pres
ident Young declaring the suspension OF
Holmes, Baltimore's outfelder. null and
void was the result Of resolute action
taken by the national board of arbitra-
ton at meeting in Boston on Tuesday.
President Young was instructed on
Wednesday TO call a meeting of The di-
rectors to be held at Philadelphia on Sat
urday, and was 5iso advised tnat il might
be possible TO have the suspension set
aside Immediately 10y communicating Ky
wire with the directors. In a word, # the
directors refused to telegram back their
consent then meeting woul1 be called.
The directors, however, appreciated
which way the wind was blowing and
sent such dispatches to President Young
that today he was able to ra'se the sus-
pension himself.
The decision came in the very nick of
time, for Holmes would have been ineli-
gible to play at Cincinnati in the after
noon if action had not been taken. Han
lon, the Baltimore manager, however,
would have been compelled to play
Holmes because of the injunction secured
by the player on Tuesday.
Holmes is now eligible to play out the
schedule with his team, but new compli-
cations may rise when the Baltimores
visit the Polo Grounds next month.
Freedman declared that he would never
permit Holmes to enter the Polo Grounds
again.

Standing of the Clubs.

St Louis Mo, Aug. 25.-The Browns
had picnic No. in as many days with
the Senatorial aggregation from Wash
ington today, defeating them in 4 loosely
played game by the score of 10 to s. The
game as whole was one of the worst ex-
hibitions ever put up by two league
teams
Errors were made as numerous as runs,
and time and time again the fielders of
both teams allowed fly balls to drop in
safety, while two or more Of 'em gazed
at the flying sphere. The Browns didn't
half try.
They knew they had a snap and did not
exert themselves to any marked extent.
Loose playing in the first three innings,
Harley being the chief offender Melted
the Senators four runs When the
Rough Riders noticed the visitors ad-
vantage they set sail for them with a
vengeance and before the contest was
half over it was base hits TO errors that
the locals would win.
Sudhoff was on the rubber for the
Browns, and he pitched but a fair game.
Knowing what a cinch he had. he did
not exert himself and merely lobbed the
bah over the plate. Smith and Harley
gave him poor support, and to their mis-
plays can a majority of the Senators
runs be credited Dick tried to make
an impossible catch of MERGERS short ay
In the second inning. The ball got away
from him and before II could be fieIdei

In the third Harley misjudged Ander-
sons long fly, giving the big fielder three
bases. Smith got in three mispIays. each
one of which proved costly. KinsIow got
in the error column with the low throw
TO second and Sudhoff gave a blue leg a
base by throw past Tucker. Quinn and
Tucker carried off the honors in the in
field and Stencil played a nice game in
center.
Mercer was the chief offender for The
Washingtons. He made four errors out
OF seven chances sent his way. Every
one Of his four misplays came in the
first three innings. and netted the Browns
four of their runs. Farrell gave Harley
lift in the third inning, ''Dick" after

League in left field. Mac may have
been a great player in the Eastern, but
his work in left today would indicate

Royal Ulster Club, and Hugh NJ. McGil-

He and his colleagues, he said, were

Professionally. He hoped that the matter
could be arranged upon satisfactory
terms and that there would be race for
the cup next year.
The reports which had been published
concerning the new cup challenger, the

Sir Thomas Upton, were all erroneous.
Nothing definite could be said in regard
to the boat until the deputation of the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club reached New
