PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-At the Bel

mark of 1884, broke the track record Of
2:0S1s, held by John R. Gentry. stepped q
mile in 1:59A and incidentally went the half
in SIN seconds, the fastest half mile ever
made by harness horse at either gait.
All the conditions were favorable for a good
performance. AS good as 8 to 1 against
him breaking Gentry's time could have been
had. while even money was offered that he
would not beat 2:04.
On the third score McClair nodded for the
word, and away Pointer went to make To-

Claims to Have Been Robbed.

Manager Allen telegraphed to President
Colt the fact that the champions were prac-
tically robbed of a game with st. Joseph
yesterday by the action of Manager Van
Brunt, of the street-railway company, which
controls the club in that town. Van Brunt
refused to allow his team to play more than
one game, Notwithstanding the fact that two
were scheduled one being postponed
game The excuse offered by the st. Joseph
man was that the grounds were not in con-
dition to play two games on, but this is re-
garded by the Indianapolis management as
a poor excuse, in view of the fact that III
order to get the admission money the st.
Joseph people decided that the grounds
were all right for one game. Manning stands
well in ST. Joe, and there is little doubt but
what he instigated the move in order that
the Indianapolis team might not arrive in
Kansas City in the lead. Phillips is said to
have recovered from his recent illness and
is ready to play ball when the team arrives
in the town on the banks of the Kaw river.
Fleming who was loaned to the ST. Joseph
team early in the season, was yesterday
taken back by Manager Allen, who needs
his good stick work in the final games with
Manning'S men.

PEACE COMMISSIONERS SAIL.
Brief Talks with Ex-secretary Day
and Senator Frye.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE commission
ers to conclude the terms of peace with
Spain, sailed to-day, on board the Cunard
line steamer Campania, en- route to Paris.
This commission consists of former Secre-
tary of State William r. Day, United
States Senators William p. Frye, Cushman
X. Davis and George Gray, and whitelaw
Reid. Each commissioner is accompanied
on the trip by his wife or other members
of the family. In the party are also j. B.
Moore, secretary and counsel to the COM
mission; John r. Macarthur, assistant
secretary, and wife; Frank Branagan dis
bursting clerk, and Mrs. Branagan; Mrs.
Atkinson and Mrs. McNauthgon, stenogra-
rhers, and Edward Savoy and Henry Free
man, confidential messengers.
Prior to going on board the steamer, Mr.
Day said to reporter: 1--WE had confer
ence with the Cabinet before leaving WASH
ington, except Senator Gray All I'M
delatand the wishes of the Cabinet with ref
erence to the terms of the treaty and /
believe there will be practically no change
after conference with the Spanish commits
sioners." tif4
do you expect much opposition to the
terms from the Spanish commissioners
Il think that Americas terms will be re-
garded as reasonable and, therefore, L be-
lieve the work of the commissioners will
not be impeded by useless discussion"
Senator Frye would say nothing as to the
Intentions of the cosnmis SionerS. AS to the
commissioners going to Paris with set du-
ties and irrefra glble conditions to be placed
before the Spanish commissioners, the Sem
ator said that school boys might just as
well be sent If such were the case. He de-
cared that nobody could tell what new con-
ditions might arise which would have to be
met. discussed and decided wholly by the
commission. Senator Frye had no idea of
the time ii would take to complete the work
OF the commission. He said that Spanish di-
plomats were not hasty in their work.
Besides the five American peace commits
sioners and their retinue of thirty-two per-
sons. there were as passengers aboard the
Campania: Count Charles d'Irsel Belgian
minister of the Congo State Frank w.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
SECRETARY GAGE DOES NOT ANTIC-
IPATE A MONEY STRINGENCY.
Only $13,OOO,OOO of the Amount Due
for War Bonds Remains to Be
Paid Into the Treasury.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE govern
ment will no longer be a disturbing factor
in the finances of this country. Only about
$3000,000 of war-bond money remains to be
paid into the Treasury, and this balance
will come in during period of two months
or more. Meantime the government will be
paying out mere than it receives, and gov
eminent money to the amount of probably
500, 000, 600 will be made available for COM
mercial use by being placed in government
depositaries OF this amount about $73,000,-
600 is already on deposit in these banks.
Secretary Gage this afternoon describes the
general financial outlook as encouraging,
and says that there is no reason to antici-
pate stringency discomfort in any local
ity. Banks asking for government money
have been advised that hereafter they will
only be allowed an amount equal to their
capitalization, no matter how many bonds
they may be prepared to deposit as security.
The raising of the rates of interest in New
York will have a tendency to attract money
to that center Government funos deposited
with banks will be sent so as to effect an
equitable distribution by States

THREE STRAIGHT AT ST. JOSEPH.
HOOsiers Have Their Eye on the Ball
and Are In Fine Form.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Sept. 17.-Indianapolis
made it three straight by winning from the
Saints to-day. Two games were to have
been played, but owing to heavy rain last
night the grounds did not get into condition
in time. Indianapolis objected to the calling
off of the first game, claiming the grounds
we're all right. Foreman circulated a petit
ton among the audience and secured the
names of about one hundred spectators who
agreed that the grounds were not too heavy.
The locals were able to score only in the
first inning, when they succeeded in bunch
ing hits, together with base on balls and
error by Stewart. The visitors found
Cooper quite mystery until the fifth, when
they started on him in true style. Flynn
scored in the second after a double on Nc
Cauley's passed ball. He also scored again
in the fourth after reaching first on balls,
stole second and third and crossed the plate
on SCOTS single. In the fifth, Mcfarland led
off with a double. Kahoe followed with an
other double, scoring Mcfarland. Nichol
grounded down to first and Kahoe scored on
Flynns single with the next two men up
failing to reach first base. Hickey scored
in the sixth on Hogriever's single after first
reaching the initial bag on his own single.
The runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth
were scored on clean hitting. The score:

ELIMINATES THE WORLD.
United States Sends 1904, 269,676 GAL
Ions of Oil Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE United
States Eliminates the world more effective
ly and completely each year. Despite the
fear so frequently expressed of late that the
large production of petroleum in Russia and
Dutch East Indies and the increased use of
electricity for lighting purposes would re-
duce our valuable exports of illuminating
oils, the year just ended has shown the
greatest expectation of that article in the
history of that important branch of our
foreign commerce, and the figures for Au-
gust shew the largest expectations of oil
for any single month on record. The re-
ports of the Treasury Bureau Of Statistics
show that the exports of mineral oils in
the fiscal year 1898 passed the billion gallon
line the total, including all classes, being
1.O34 676 gallons, against 973.614945 gallons
in 1897 and 800. ASS. 1894 gallons in 1856.
The large production of mineral oils in
other parts of the world, while it has not
reduced our expectation, has probably re-
duced the prices which our producers and
exporters have been able to realize. The ex-
double those of 1888, and three times those of
1873, but the money received for them was
received either in 1878 or 1855 The total re-
ceipts for the 1884 1863, GIG gallons of oil ex-
ported in 1898 were $50, 126,578. while for the
ceipts were $47 042, 400, and for the 33S S41 303
gallons exported in 1878 the receipts were
$465l4.94. The average export value of re-
hned Illuminating oil was in 1872 24.9 cents
FER gallon; in 1878. IA cents per gallon in
1888, 79 cents per gallon, and in 1885, 81 cents
per gallon, having thus fallen from 24.9
cents to 90 cents from 1879 to 1898. Not
withstanding this steady fall the production
and expectation continues to increase. the
exports having increased over sixty million
gallons in the past year over that of the
preceding year and over one hundred million
gallons over that of any earlier year, while
Ions, against 2O33 9s1 ,972 in 1894, 1476 S67 $40
in 1890 1017 1863 in 1885, 1886 1884 1872 in 1880
and SO ,S25,5S0 in 1876. Thus while the price
has been steadily and rapidly falling the
quantity produced and the quantity ex-
ported have as steadily and rapidly in
creased: The. production in 1897 was five
times that of 1876. and the expectation Of
last year nearly five times that of 1876
Great as the fall in price has been, the
exports of Illuminating oil bring over a
million dollars a week into the country, and
have in the past twenty years added a
round billion of dollars to our foreign sales

The fans will await news of to-day's game
with anxiety.
Manager Hanlon says Cleveland mustn't
transfer those October games to Cincinnati
Hughes. Rusie Powell, Piatt. Nichols.
Griffith and Tannehill have each four shut
outs to their credit this season.
Won der Horst, of Baltimore, says he
would like to increase the side bet Of Boston
for series of games with Baltimore to
5000 If Boston is willing.
MOTIFS absence is most unfortunate at this
time, and If Indianapolis can land the PEN
nant with crippled team Allen and his
men deserve great credit. MOtz returned to
Indianapolis yesterday.
Joe Kelley, Of Baltimore, has made a
record for triples. In twenty-seven games
last played he has made eight, besides four
doubles and a home run. In twenty-five
games he made thirty-four hits, a percent
age of 1866.
Mcfarland now seems pretty much at

looked, though the team is not so strong at
the bat. MOTIFS hitting will be missed at
Kansas City.
Tim Hurst concludes a letter to a base
ball writer with the quaint observation:
You can never know what true happiness
is until you become baseball manager. It
is such rare and radiant fun to be expected
to sign batters that can hit everybody and
pitchers nobody can hit"
Connie Mack might accept the offer Of
PRESIDENT FRANKLIN OF the Buffalo cluD, IL
he is so sure of Western League superiority.
Franklin proposes to wager $1,000 on three
Eastern League teams, to be selected by
him, against any three Western League
teams. Mack says the three weakest teams
in the Western League can defeat the three
strongest in the Eastern League.
Suspending Manager Fisher and appoint
ing Roat as leader OF the Babes looks like
a case of out of the frying pan into the fire.
Fishers habits never were of the best, and
Roat is also addicted to the cup that cheers,
but perhaps he will manage to keep on his
feet as a manager through three or four
games, though 1t is doubtful, as the last
three will be played in Milwaukee.
Umpire Gaffney proposes that pitcher be
not required to run bases, that when he
reaches first base he be returned to the
bench and another runner substituted. Many
a pitcher, he says, has lost his game
through his eXertionS on the base lines. Tom
Brown goes further and suggests that the
pitcher be excused from batting at all.
Neither suggestion is likely to be adopted.
indianapolis must win two of the three
Kansas City games in order to finish first
It's a tough proposition. Had Milwaukee
made decent showing against the Blues in
the series just ended Indianapolis would
have had pretty clear sailing. One victory
by the Brewers would have just about set
tied 1t, but they lost all three games, much
to the disgust of the fans here. If the
weather is good this afternoon at Kansas
City there will be an enormous crowd at the
game upon which so much depends.

grateful to you for your Christian aid and
the world is better Tor having known the

the matter, however of following the time
honored custom of christening battle ships
there is no dissertation of the laws of tenn

which any evil could possibly be set forth

sacrament, which the world COM
memorates with deepest solemnity and
