The Washington club made clean record
last week, losing seven games. all that
were played, the New York and Brooklyn
clubs being the fortunate opponents. The
disastrous week was wound up Saturday in
Brooklyn, the home club capturing both
contests. the first by the score of II to 1,
and the second by the score of to g. Nc
Farlands poor pitching was responsible for
the first defeat, while the twirling of Baker
in the second made the game reasonably
close. Bonner made his first appearance
with the Senators and did we'll. both at
the bat and in the field. Dick Padden was
pushed over to the shortstop's position and
also acquitted himself well.
The Brooklyns began to solve McFar-
lands curves in the third inning of the
first game and from then on it fairly rained
base hits. Fourteen hits for a total of
twenty-three bases was the net result of
the home teams batting. Farrell and Kel-
ley each got three hits, including a two
bagger. and McGann was close behind with
single and a three-bagger.
The Washingtons fielded without an err
ror but that is about all the good that
can be said of them. This good fielding,
however, was offset by the poor judgment
some of the players used when they did get
to base.
The home team completed four double
pays. "A uOuDft pldy ny tdSey anu hcbdilu
in the eighth inning was the fielding feature
of the game. Bonner was at second, hav-
ing made a two-bagger, when Cassidy hit
sharp grounder to Casey. The latter made
a bluff to throw to second, holding Bonner
there, and then sent the ball like a shot
to first, retiring the batsman. Bonner made
a dash for third. McGann made a fine
throw. and Casey caught the ball while
running sideways to the base, and touched
Bonner as he was about to slide. The play
was made so quickly that the crowd hardly
realized it. but after a moment they broke
out with loud applause, and both Casey
and McGann had to remove their caps be-
fore it subsided.
The Second Game.
In the second game, which the Brooklyns
won by a score of to g. there was not so
much hitting, but what little there was
done was by the Brooklyns and at oppor-
tune times.
Baker faced the BroOkyns. and did fair
ly well for new man in the big league.
Hughes, the Brooklyn's pitcher, was like
a stone wall. He allowed four scattering
hits, two of them, however, sending in runs.
The Washingtons one run In the NTH was
the result of a wild thrown by McGann. In
er gave grand exhibition of fielding at
second base.
He figured in three sharp double plays. 1t
was due to his clever pick-ups and quick
throwing that all three were completed. In
the sixth inning he jumped about two feet
and pulled down McGuire'S hard drive. He
went about his work in such graceful style,
and every chance, whether it was difficult
or not, was made to appear easy.

A CRITICAL TIME
Earl of Benbigh Voices the Sem
timent of the British Govern
ment Supporters
To Show a Weak Front in South
Africa Now a Menace to the
Empire.
W. T. Stead Makes a Startling
Insinuation Against Joseph
Chamberlain.

LONDON, Aug. 21.--The Earl of Ben
bigh, speaking at a Primrose meeting,
voiced the general feeling ofsthe gov
ernmentSs supporters by saying:
"Tf the breakup of the British en-
pire Is wanted, all we have to dc is to
show weak front in South Africa.
Great Britain has to win the next
trick there, whether by diplomacy or
other means"
Mr.. William T. Stead, in the Review
of Reviews, makes startling insinua-
ton against Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies.
He says that If the liberal leaders, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman, two years ago,
had not made themselves parties to the
most scandalous fraud in the way OF
withdrawing ever perpetrated upon
the public Mr.. Cham berlain would not
be in the,colonial office today"
Mr.. Stead refers, apparently, to the
Jameson raid into the Transvaal, and
intimates Mr.. Chamberlain is entirely
responsible for the present uneasiness,
adding:
What is new dspanaear; almost
avowed, is thei destruc tient OF. the DOM
nation of the Bo9r o1igarcny."
Continuing, Mr.. Stead bsrates Sir AL
fred Minor, the British high commits

Uncle SAM. Only nrip..

Tips given to Pullman car porters by
government employees while perform
ing official duties are considered legiti-
mate charges against Uncle Sam. They
are the only tips which are accorded
this distinction. This interesting fact
has just been cleaned through the dis
play by a government official of bill
Of expenses which he intended to pre-
sent for recent trip which he made
in the service Of the government He
exhibited the statement as an evidence
of the close manner In which the gov
eminent did business. He had to pre-
sent a receipt for every expenditure
made, even receipt from the Pullman
car conductor for his berth.
The only item for which there was
no RECEIPT was Tips, 80 cents" When
asked what the tips We're for, fhe off,
Ger said: :F1,hey were tips which gave
to Pullman car porters.- The govern
ment allows those. but they are the
only tips which are allowed. If j ftp
the walter at my hotel or the man WHO
CARRIES my bag, the tip. comes out Of
my pocket, but the tipping of Pullman
car porters, quarter for each journey
made on sleeper, is such recognized
custom that the item for such tips is
always allowed by the government to
officers when travelling on government
business. New Orleans Times Demo-

NEW YORK, Aug. Sd. w. Regain,
an expert mining engineer, who for the
past year and half has been making q
careful study Of mining and govern
mental conditions of the Transvaal Is
now in this city. The prospeotof war
with England, Mr.. Regain says, at the
time he left Johannesburg, a few weeks
ago, was, according to the native Beers.
very slight. It was expected by them
that q compromise would be reached.
The foreign element, however,, ear
nestly hoped that 10 viii come, for In tt
they see future prosperity. al
"Although the Beers do not anticipate
war, yet, while on my way home, !
spent several weeks in England, and
from what I could learn there, active
preparations are being made for war
with the Transvaal. Il Is the universal
opinion of those best posted. and those
having at heart the best wishes for the
ultimate success Of the Transvaal as
republic. that nothing short Of a war
with England will remedy the situa-
