WON BY THE vICToRs.
A Complaint of Dirty Ball at the Park
 Yesterday.

The Victors won the base ball game at the park yesterday defeating the Pioneers by score of p to IA. The ball playing was so dirty that at the end of the third inning, Aitken, the sec ond Daseman of the Pioneers, quit the field, though the Pioneers had strong lead of Il to 1. In the fourth inusinx Dodger Stewart, the Pioneers catcher was hit on the elbow with bat in | manner inexplicable, unless upon the theory that it was done on purpose. He retired from behind the bat. Two strong players of the Pioneers having been disposed of, one by injury and the other by intimidation, the victors be gan to lessen the gap betweenthem and the Pioneers, finally passed them and won.
 The whole Victor team is not helds responsible by the Pioneers for 5h} Tony Mullane methods pursued, but they say they did not go upon the dia- mond prepared for personal and deadly encounter. Many of them had not made their wills and many of them had not made their peace with heaven. They therefore devoted more attention to avoid impaling by spikes than they did to actual ball playing. They want to play another game on well defined lines of conduct. If it IS te De a fight they want to know 1t, and if It Is to be ball game they want the other side to govern itself accordingly.

TIRED OF CIVILIZATION.
IroQuois Indians Will Return to Tribal
 System of Government

Montreal, Jan. 16.-The Iroquois In- dians have decided to return to the methods of government which pre- vailed among their forefathers. Some years ago the dominion government brought them under the provisions of the Indian advancement act, which provided municipal government on virtually the same system as in white settlements. It is against his system that hey have rebelledt.
 The descendants of the Iroquois warriors are settled on reservations at Caughnawaga, opposite the Lachine rapids, near Cornwall There b. B rapids, above Montreal, and on St. Regis island, near Cornwall. There are seven bands of Caughnawagas. The government was frequently ap- preached during the past five years to allow them to return to the tribal system, but no answer being given, they have elected seven tribal chiefs and seven deputy chiefs, who will in turn elect a head chief The St. Regis Indians have also decided to return to their primitive customs

 HIS HOME LIFE.
 Cincinnati, O., Jan. 16.-Benjami1 Butterworth was what is known as a "Birthright Quaker Those who knew him best during his busy career say of him that his daily life was as an exemplary one of the tsnets of that good old faith as that of and public official could be. Ben" Butterworl h, as he has always been best known, spent his early life round about Maine vile and Fosters Crossing, the latter a little station on the Little Miami railroad. His father was William Butterworth; his mother was of the Linton family, noted throughout it's entire line for keenness of intellect and strength in speech and debate Both parents were of Quaker ancestry. Iyc markable powers of perception were inherited from his mother. Butter worth's first acquaintance with law was made in the office of Durbin Ward, then successful practitioner in Gin cinnati.
 During the war he attained the rank of major in an Ohio regiment. He was commissioner of patents first dur ing the administration of Garfield and Arthur, and his record made then and subsequently, had great weight with President Mckinley in selecting him for that position. He was made sec relary of the worlds fair commis- sion early in the inception of the great enterprise at Chicago, during the early '90s and worked along in that capacity with honor to himself and profit to his country until the close.

 ;ument General Chalmers recall o'oss. onfederate reunion held in Mem phis shortly after the extinguishme nt of the "carpet bag" reign. That re- union was presided over by Colonel Patterson. Relating the incident, Gen eral Chalmers said that two confeder- ate generals, one republican and the other a democrat, both of equal prom thence in the south, entered the hall and walked down the aisle arm in arm toward the stage. The democrat was invited to the platform, and the republican was left to find a seat as best he could in the body of the hall. Being asked why he did not invite the republican to the stage, Colonel Pat terson replied that there was no room on the stage for members of the re- publican party.
 General Chalmers told this story in climax, when, turning suddenly to the chairman of the committee, he said: That confederate general now stands before you. I was the other of the two who walked up that aisle. There sits the man," he continued, pointing the finger of scorn at Colonel Patter- son, "who was too good a democrat to even sit on the same stage with a republican confederate officer, and he now comes here as a republican or a gold bug democrat, pleading that he was cheated out of negro votes that were cast for him." Colonel Patter- son said that he did not remember the incident related by General Chalmers.

BAILEY REBUKED.
A Texas Member Dons a Dress Suit
 and Wears It All Day.

Washington, Jan. 16-Members of the Texas delegation in congress are in high glee over the performances of one of their number in connection with certain social obligations which he found necessary at the beginning of the year. It was represented that Mir. Bailey had achieved notoriety by refusing to appear at any function in the regulation dress suit and his ex- ample had proved contagious in caus- ing similar action among the other congressman from Texas. Something had to be done for the honor and credit of the state to offset the vagaries of Bailey and Miles Crowley in the cos tune line, and New Years day recep- tions seemed to offer a fitting oppor- tunity for redeeming the fair name of Texas. The congressman to whom this task was entrusted not having a dress suit ready for immediate use, hired one and put it on bright and early New Years morning, and kept it on all day.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 4.-Ac-
cording to reports brought down from
the north by the steamship Farallon,
Captain John Roberts, arriving Tonight
from Alaska, the winter season has set
in early and is accompanied by series
of disasters Captain Roberts reports
the toughest trip in his experience in
northern waters, having encountered a
series of gales during the entire voyage.
The Farallon brings news of the mis-
fortunes of the steamer Utopia, cap
tain White, embracing both fire and
storm. On the north-bound trip of the
Utopia during a severe gale on cape
Fanshaw, thirty miles from Wrangel
NarroWs, fire broke out in the forward
cabin, which rapidly spread, and for a
time bid fair to consume the vessel and
consign all on board to a watery grave.
AS a precautionary measure captain
White gave orders to lower the boats
and RATS. with instructions for no one
to enter them until the word was given.
A messenger whose name is unknown
became greatly excited, and as soon as
the first boat struck the water jumped
into II. and at the same time a high
sea struck the boat, capsizing it, and
the unfortunate fellow was drowned,
despite the heroic efforts made to- save
him.
Through the almost superhuman eff
forts of the captain and crew the fire
was extinguished after 1t had burned

of the cabin.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Nov. 24.-Puget Sound
University of Tacoma and the Oregon
University of Portland, both Methodist
institutions, were consolidated in Sep
TENDER by the action of a special edu-
cational commission of both, of which
Bishop McCabe and DR.. Payne, secre-
tary of the Methodist educational
board. were prominent members. The
consolidated university was located at
tween Tacoma and Portland, the latter
city agreeing to furnish buildings and
a site free Of debt besides paying off
Sac. 900 indebtedness of the Puget Sound
University here.
After two months of intermittent eff
forts in that direction Portland has
failed to pay this Indebtedness or keep
her promises in other respects. This
course has greatly eXasperated the
trustees of the Puget Sound University,
who were morally responsible for it's
indebtedness. The climax was reached
to-day when the Puget Sound Uni
versity trustees voted to disobey
Rishop McCabe and the special com
mission by withdrawing from the con-
solidation plan and continuing the
school here Pledges of liberal sup
mort locally and from wealthy Eastern
Methodists have been received
The university will be reopened in
January, and an appeal will be made
to the Puget Sound and general confer
ences from the action of Bishop Nc
Cabe's commission.

ceeded on her voyage. When off Cape
Arden, the northern extremity of Ad
miralty Island, during a heavy gale, on
the night of the Goth, she lost her pro-
peller, and while drifting at the mercy
of the wind and wave and being car
ried toward the rocky shore, the Far
allon came along, and, hearing her sig
nails of distress, went to her assistance
and with much difficulty succeeded in
getting a line aboard at time when
all had given up hope. At the place
where she was picked up there was no
anchorage. The Farallon towed her to
Juneau. Her cargo is considerably
damaged, and several passengers lost
their entire effects.
Skaguay has again been visited by
fire. On the night of the 18th the en-
tire offices and buildings of the White
Pass and Yukon Railroad Company
we're destroyed. The loss of buildings
is light, compared with the contents,
consisting of maps, surveys and other
valuable papers, which require consid-
cradle time and outlay to replace.
A large livery and feed stable stu
ated in the center Of Skaguay was
burned on the night of the 18th. The
loss was quite heavy, as the stable was
we'll filled with hay and grain. Three
horses were burned to death.

WOULD PURCHASE
ADDITIONAL ISLANDS
Belief That the Administration
Wants the Carolines, Ualan and
the Pelew Group.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Herald
telegraphs: There is no reason to be-
lieve that the administration would be
willing to purchase from Spain not only
the Philippines and Ualan Island, but
all of the Carolines and the Pelew
group.
Much regret is felt in official circles,
particularly among naval men, at the
failure of the President to insert in the
peace protocol provision regarding
the Caroline and Pelew islands similar
to that relating to the Philippines. It
is no longer a secret that during the
war the Naval War Board and Com
mander r. B. Bradford, chief of the
bureau Of equipment of the Navy De-
partment, strenuously urged upon Sec
rotary Long and the President the
seizure of the Carolines. In fact, 1 I'M
derstand that one of the monitors sent
to Manila was selected by the board for
this duty but the President failed to
approve the proposition. Behind the
proposition to buy Ualan lies the hope
in some quarters that Spain will make
a counter proposition for the cession of
the entire group and Pelew Islands for
an increased compensation. The belief
prevails here that the Germans will
bring pressure to bear upon Spain to
prevent her from selling the Carolines
to the United States. Such action
would undoubtedly be looked upon as
cause for a breach of friendship.

Crowds also collected in the adjoin-

however, that the football game comes

sion would be able to leave Paris next
week with the treaty. He responded.
with a sidelong glance, as though to
observe whether his questioner noted
the significance of the reply, II sup
pose we shall be here for another fort
night"
Why" the Spanish Commissioner
was asked, lis the opinion expressed
SO emphatically by a portion of the
Paris press that you will decline the
S2O,0eO 600, but will sign the treaty with
protest that you do so only under the
pressure of superior power?''
Wen. it does seem that 800, 900 900 is
not very satisfactory"
This was the semi-evasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat answered
the question.
His questioner continued, Then il
has been affirmed that Spain will re-
fuse to sign the treaty, decline the
money offered and make a protest TO
European powers and that her Com
mfssioners will go home. Is that the
most likely result?''
All, but we should not anticipate:
we should know day by day what hap
pens day by day"
And so you anticipate more daily
developments here?"
"Ah, yes. we will be here a fortnight
Perhaps some affairs may be attended
to in that time"
The Petit Bleu reaff1rms to-day as a.
certainty that the Spanish Commits
sioners will refuse the amount offered
of $50, 100000 for treaty cession of the
