A WISE STEP.

st. Louis, March 1.-Most radical legis-
lation was enacted today by the magnates
of the National baseball league assem- bled
here in annual session. At the afternoon
session to which representatives of the
press wero admitted, q measure for the
suppression of obscene language on the
ball grounds by players was adopted by
the representatives of the twelve clubs
present, without dissenting vote The
provisions of this measure are most sweep
ing and provide for the trial of guilty.
persons before a tribunal of three judges
to be known as the board of discipline
which shall punish the culprit either by
suspension or expulsion for life.
The first tribunal under this provision.
will be composed of T.. G. Krauthoff of
Kansas City, Mo-; Louis Kramer of Gin
cinnati and Frederick K. Stearns of De-
troit, Michigan. These men who are
prominent and we'll known to the patrons
of the national game will serve respec-
lively for three, two and one years. One
member of the board will retire each year
and his successor will be elected at the
annual schedule meeting of the league.

A MEAT INspECrIoN CASE.

Washington, March 1.-The decision of
Judge Rodgers at Fort Smith, Ark, yes
terday. holding the United States Federal
meat inspection law to be unconstitntion-
al, apparently, caused no concern to the
officials of the agricultural department..
They regard the decision rs one largely
technical In character which will not
affect the practical operation of the law
when applied to the inspection of meats
intended for Interstate traffic or export to
foreign countries. Secretary Wilson to-
day said 'We have known for some
time what the decision in the case would
be, but did not feel at liberty to speak of
it before it was rendered. The case being
a criminal one the government has not
the right of appeal AS. the matter
stands we shall proceed to administer the
law just as If no decision had been
rendered"
Mr.. Salmon, chief Of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, said: "The decision
think is rather technical and just and the
Judge Is probably close constructionist
Of the law. Should the decision be ac-
cepted literally by the proprieto1s of the
packing houses and they should refuse to
permit our inspectors to do their work as
heretofore, we shall. when shipments
reach the state boundaries, simply refuse
to give n certificate of inspection.

MISCELLANEOUS,
DANGER IN SOD A.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Elk
cessive Use,

Common soda is ell right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for medicine, and
people who use it IS such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda tC
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, hab-
it which thousands of people practice al
most daily, and one which is fraught
with Changer; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
= The soda acts as mechanical irrltant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where 1T accumu-
lated in the intestlnes, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonltis.
nDr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
aresslarge 20 grain lozenges very pleasant
to taste and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements essen tial
to good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases Of stomach arrangements and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver They are not cath
artic, but intended only for stomach dis
eases and weakness and will be found re-
liable in any. stomach toruble except
cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at scots. per
package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed

MAINE BOY TOO MUCH FOR CAP
TORS

Providence. March 1.-The banquet of
the Brown freshmen took place as schsd-
uled this evening despite an effort of the
sophomores to break it up early. Early
this morning band of sophomores made
their way into the room occupied by
Howard A. Coffin of East Fairfield, Me-.
the president of the freshman class, and
H. L. Waller, the leader OF the freshman
quartette and into the room of Edward
Z. Greene of Newton Centre, Mass. These
men were seized and carried away in
hacks to the river front where boat the
Dispatch, WAS waiting. The stolen fresh j,
man with some sophomores guards wers
taken in the boat down Narraganset bay
to Newport. At that city two of the
sophomores went ashore for provisions,
the boat remaining about sixty feet from
the wharf. When the guard had thus been
weakened by the absence of two men,
Coffin worked his hands loose and over
powered the two other guards. Then free
ing himself from the Iashings about his
feet, he plunged into the water AMI
swan ashore. Fear of police interference
caused the sopohmores to let the other
two men 60 free. The three men returned
by train to Brown, where they were re-
ceived with a great demonstration by
their class mates. With the laugh thus
turned on the sophomores the freshmen
held their banquet without being
molested. Early In the evening the fresh
men kidnapped Ernest Boynton, but after
riding him about in carriage they let
him go.

LONGS GUARDED STATEMENT.
Question of Spanish Governments Parti-
cipRtion Eliminated.

Washington, March 1.-Secretary Long
ing and stated that in his Judgment that
any official participation by the Spanish
government in the blowing up of the
Maine was practically eliminated. This
statement was made as an expression of
the Seoretarys personal opinion. 1t
gained speedy circulation. however, and
was elaborated to the point of being an
official declaration that the element of
Spanish responsibility for the Maine
disaster was no longer to be considered.
When Mr.. Long returned to the Navy De
partment he was asked as to the exact
nature of this statement. He said it had
been rather O casual and passing allusion,
more in the line of a response to some
courteous question from the viligant
representatives of the press. He said that
he had intended to say that there was an
abatement in the agitation and exotic
ment over the subject. AS TO Spanish re-
sponsibility, he had said that any official
participation by the Spanish government
in the blowing up of the Maine was prac-
tioally eliminated in my judgment.
Mr. Long desired to have it clearly I'M
derstood that this was an expression of
his Individual Judgment, and not an
official declaration to be construed as q
conclusion drawn from the evidence sub
mitted to him.
Later, as means Of disposing OF all
doubt as to the exact nature of the Secre-
tary's language, he dictated the following
statement:
"The main thing we talked about in
Cabinet were the outrages on the post
masters, one white man in Georgia,
and ono a coiored man in South Carolina.
Gin regard to the Cuban situation
said thought things were growing quiet
err every day, and as far es my Judgment
went was inclined to think that any
official participation on the part of the
Spanish government in the disaster was
now practically eliminated.

BANDITS LOOT A BANK.

Bayard, Neb., March Five men from
this place had running fight with the
two bandits who Saturday shot President
Taylor of the bank of Bayard, and looted
the strong box The fight occurred thirty
miles north in the Sand hills. The ban
dts made desperate fight and 1t is
now believed they can never be taken
alive.
The posse came upon the bandits as
they were breaking camp. The robbers
were the first to open fire. For several
miles the fight was continued, the bandits
turning in their saddles while riding ct
full speed, and sending bullets from their
repeating rifles among the pursuers
Finally two of the posse were shot and 8
deputy, Royce, badly hurt. Then the
posse gave up the chase. The men are
practically surrounded. Still they. have a
large section of wild territory to ride over
and can easily elude their pursuers.
From the GOODNESS and accuracy with
which the bandits rode and shot at the
same time, 1T is believed they are old
hands on the frontier and desperate
criminals, who cannot be taken until
they have been shot. The superstition is
they think they killed President Taylor
when he was shot during the raid on the
bank, and therefore will die rather than
surrender as they fear being lynched.
Taylor will recover.

MASONIC LODGE OF s oRRow.

Mexico City, March 1.-The Mexican,
German and Spanish lodges Of this city
have spontaneously invited their Ameri-
can brethren to special lodge of sorrow
to be held on the third of March in
memory of the Masons who have persisted
in the Maine disaster and as mark OF
sympathy for the Floss sustained by the
order and the United States. 1t is a note
worthy taot that the initiative was taken
In this matter by Grand Orator Carlos
Roumagnie, native born Spaniard of
Madrid, who supported the movement In
a speech full of feeling. There is no i'll
feeling between Americans and the better
class Of native Spanlards here.

STILL A MYSTERY.


Even the Guessers Are Phased As TO
Cause of Maine Disaster.
Key West, March 1.-The second day S
session of the court of inquiry are over,
and nothing is known regarding the fate
of the Maine, at all events outsite the
members of the courts. Some who con-
ldently declared a week ago that the
court had already found that the vessel
was Intentionally blown up have modified
this conviction and for the most part
admit that such reports mustabe based on
speculation. Even naval officers are ap-
parently as much in the dark as the
civilians as to what thescourt's opinion
is at the present moment. hAceAiep'
progress has been made in tf9 examlna-
tion and the court will probably finish
its work there tomorrow. Its members
will 90 back tomorrow on the MangroVe.
Interest in the proceedings tagged
somewhat today owing to the utter
utility Of all attempts to crafty the
general curiosity. The correspondent q
the Associated Press placed before one or
the members of the court the letter
signed Machinist, giving alleged details
of the filling of the Maine torpedo holes
with dynamite cartridges and their sub
sequent exploding by an electric wire. The
member of court in question said the de-
veEopments had been officially before the
court The CubaDs here are constantly
receiving mysterious missives from Ha-
vana purporting to reveal the method by
which the Maine was sent to destruction
by the Spaniards, but as there are as many
suggestions as there are letters, little re-
lance can be placed upon any. The sit
uation here remains the same, though
rise to a runor that an important naval
step was contemplated. Admiral Sicard
when questioned on this point today
merely reiterated his rather oIninous re-
mark of yesterday: stThere is no move
Inent today. The ships have steam up
always and they can go anywhere"
The tug 1. J. Merritt passed here at
sunset with large scow in tow and 9th
er wrecking apparatus. She is bound for
Havana.

Seven to one.
The score tells the story and not a
very thrilling one either. Portland took
the game from Rockland as easy as
rolling of log, which is about the easiest
thing to do in the world. 1t was per
feet snap for the home team and they
made the most of it. Rockland began
well by getting their goal the very first
thing. 1t was a case OF getting it then
or not at all and with this one goal in
out of the wet the Rocklands proceeded
to get licked in beautiful shape. Lin
coin, formerly of the Portland team,
played with the visitors last night for
the first time in this city. He was well
coined by loud clapping of hands.
This led him to believe that be was all
right and he started out to show what
played hard, the next one John Turn-
bull made him a nonenity in the contest,
and in the last period no one would
have known Lincoln.was on the floor
from any work he did. 1t was too bad
for Lincoln is a scrappy. sandy and fast
player when he gets to work and in
times past he has done good work for
Portland. He is capable of doing just
as good work now but last uight he
didn't seem to have things coming his
way. Murphy was the hardest thing
the Portlands had to run up against and
he worked like fiend from start to
finish. John Smith in the Roekland
goal played his old time trick of getting
out of the cage and running about the
by the Portlands last night shows what
this kind of goal-tending will do for a
team. Smith is all right in his way, and
he made many difficult stops but he
hasn't got over the idea that he is play
ing in farmers league. If he should
happen to wake up one of these morn
|ings and find that he was playing about
the fastest polo he has ever seen in his
life probably he would be surprised and
would work harder for Rocklaud.
Mckay Ihad his eye wide open last
night and delighted the crowd by an
exhibition of some of his long shots.
All of them took effect and he made
three goals for the home team in this
way. O'Malley was in the game at the
send off and did good business for a
while, but when Whippie came into the
game in the last of the second period he
seemed 10 do much better.
The game was not without interest.
lit abounded in fast, scientific work.
Referee Kelley was the official and this
prevented any dirty work. He is by all
odds the best Referee Portland has ever
seen on the surface. All of the Port
land men did well, and the only question
now is why should the Rockland team
ever even dare to hope to take game
away from the Portlands?

Ten witnesses We're Examined by the
Board Yesterday.

Ten witnesses We're Examined by the
Board Yesterday.
Key West, March 1.-The second day g
session here of the United States board of
inquiry into the loss of the battleship
Maine in the harbor Of Havana on Feb
ruary Is, began in the United States Dis
trict court house shortly after ten this
morning.
Most of the officers who had been ex-
amined yesterday had been informed that
they might be recalled, and therefore the
Iieutenants of the cadets of the lost war
ship were all on hand, though it is ex-
pected that they will not be re-examined
until the court returns from it's second
visit to Havana.
Groups of enlisted men also gathered
about the court room door, awaiting their
turn to De examined.
AS was the case yesterday ,.the court sat
in the private room of Judge Locke.
A good part of time of court today was
devoted to verifying the testimony pre-
viously given, the stenographers' reading
their official transcripts of the evidence
and. the witnesses confirming their cor
rectness.
Apparently but few vital questions
were asked, the morning being seemingly
devoted to routine work.
The court adjourned for lunch at IL. 40
p. M, after examining four engineer
officers and eight enlisted men of the
RIaine.
The afternoon session of the court be-
gan at two O'Clock and an adjournment
was taken about four until ten tomorrow
morning. The whole number of enlisted
men examined during the day was ten.
Admiral Sicard has requested DR.. Ma
loney, the mayor of Key West to prevent
Il local demonstration when the funeral
of the Maine dead occurs. He has asked
that in the event of parade being formed
by the residents. that only American flags
shall be displayed. Mayor Maloney has
promised to carry out Admiral Sicard's
wishes as far as possible but doubts
whether tie strong Cuban and anti
Spanish sentiment can be suppressed
Ali the funeral arrangements will be
under the direction of Commander Nc
Callan of the Marblehead. AS now
planned small details of marines will be
landed from the vessel here and at the
Tortugas and the artillery at the barracks
will join in paying the last honors.

KLoND1KE EXPEDITION GIVEN UP

Washington, March 1.-The War De-

A BRAWL IN HAVANA.

Havana, March 1.-The steamer Bache
has been ordered to leave for the Dry
Tortugas with five American wounded,
all there are now left here and one body.
Admiral Sicard intends having naval
funeral over the bodies returned by the
Baehe, but may postpone the ceremony
until others have been recovered, SO that
all may be formally inferred at the same
time.
1t Is reported that the court of inquiry
will return to Havana tomorrow, but the
report had not been confirmed when this
despatch was filed. This morning a
collision occurred between O party of
gueriIlas and several employed in the
street cleaning department near Trille
park. Five policemen interferred to pre-
serve order, and meeting with resistance
used their revolvers. Four of the COM
batants were shot and three policemen
wounded, one seriously. Three arrests
were made The affair, however. was only
an ordinary street brawl.
