Helena who accompanied the team did
pick up little pin money from fans
who allowed their enthusiasm to get
the best of their Judgment but most of
the Billings ball, cranks knew Helena
had had more practice and better team
work and kept their money in their
pockets.
The work of both umpires was good
and neither side has legitimate kick
coming on their decisions, the Helena
team declaring that Lee Mains is the
best umpire in the state.
Yellowstone Journal: 1t may he the
source of great deal of satisfaction to
the rooters for the home team who have
not yet forgotten the manner in which
the Billings aggregation Of profess
sionals put it all over the home team
to know that the alkali eaters went up
against it last Saturday and Sunday
when they met the team from Helena.
Both games were lost by the ex-
leaguers the first by a score Of to 3
and the second 8 to 6. The ragged
team work of Billings was the cause.

Helena Herald: A Helena gentle
man who accompanied the boys to Bill
ings and witnessed the two games says
that the treatment accorded our club by
the Billings club was shabby in the ex-
treme. The vanquished ball players
did not appear to know how to take
defeat gracefully at least their actions
did not look that way. Several threats
wero made against our players and it is
stated that one iDfuriated Billings
player tore the mask from the Helena
catcher s face and was spelling for
row while another proceeded to choke
Umpire Kempsey because one of his
decisions didn't suit the aggregation OF
so-called ball players. The business
men of Billings and the citizens gen
orally deplore such actions and were
loud in condemnation of it. It is un-
derstood that some of the ex-pugs of
the Billings nine will be let out for
their conduct. A man can still be a
gentleman and play ball one of the
things seemingly unknown to some of
the Billings team.
Red Lodge Picket: Frank Rose,
brother of j. A. Rose of this city who

team, has shown himself to be the best
batter in the club. In The Gazette ap.

In five games played he went to bat

Just after Billings defeated Miles
City three weeks ago, a fan Of this city
wired Colonel Sam Gordon Of the Vel
lowstone journal as follows: Meet
the pumpkin rollers at the train with
nine coffins and big hearse." But
Colonel Gordon "played back' yester-
day by sending the following message:
''We have nine second. hand ooffins.
Do you want them?' The reply sent
him was: "No, thanks keep them
until we meet Miles again.

Notes and Comment.

There was an exhibition or two of
rowdyism in Sundays game by cou.
Pile of Billings players which If repeat
cd will kill the baseball enthusiasm in
this city for all time to come. Twice
it looked as though free fight would
occur, Umpire Kempsey once having
his mask torn from his face and the
other time being caught by the throat,
Such actions are disgrace to baseball
and Billings will not tolerate them.
Manager Nix denounces them as
strongly az anyone in which he is sup.
ported by the principal hackers of the
club and the public, But one or two
of the Helena players are not altogether
blamaless, One of them especially is
entirely too free with abusive language
and has done a great deal in past years
to bring baseball in disrepute at the
capital CITY. Most of the players in
both teams are gentlemen and they
should SEQ to it that such rowdyism
does not occur again,
The Billings gazette., 1899-08-01

The financial supporters of the Hill
ings club are not at all disheartaned
over the two defeats and most of them
have bean to Manager Nix and urged
him to stay with tho proposition, They
arc still willing to put up their money
for good clean baseball and the people
OF the city have demonstrated that they
will liherally patronixe the games,

FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Supposed Friendly Fi1ipinos Surprise
American Troops


Gen. Wheaton occupied Perez daS Ma
rinas Tuesday morning after moderately
. heavy fighting. Gen. Wheaton biyouacked
in field Monday night, and early in the
y morning advanced on the rebel stronghold
OF Perez das Marinas, near which place
Z Monday the insurgents in force were so
@gatlantly resisted by a small reconnoiter-
Ting party under Maj. Bubb. Gen. Whea-
toms advance was contested by the rebels,
but after moderately heavy fighting the
P Americans occupied Perez das Marinas.
After occupying the town, Gen. Wheaton
examined the sanitation, which he decided
was so bad as to make it dangerous to
garrison the place. The rebels mutilated
s. American dead. The bodies of two sol
! diers of the Fourth infantry, who fell in
the running fight back of linus, were left
behind by their comrades. The bodies
were afterward found with the right ears
cut off, threats cut and slashes across the
face.
An all-day battle between Gen. Whea-
tons force and the nsurgent army was
fought near the city Of linus Monday.
One battalion of the Fourth infantry,
while accommodating, was attacked in the
rear by band of supposed friendly ma
pluckily and were out of ammunition
when Wheaton led a strong force to their
help.
The insurgents fought we'll, taking adj
vantage of the woods, and were driven
back with difficulty. Little progress was
made until late in the afternoon, when
the native force was dislodged from a
dense timber. The Americans lost five in
RAoI nd two n4v- in wounded If iS
known that the Filipino loss was very
heavy.
On effecting the capture of Perez das
Marinas Maj. Bulbs battalion, composed
of 800 men belonging to the Fourth in
fantry, was surrounded on all sides by
the Flipinos, who were about 1000 in
number.
Nothing but the most determined BRAY
cry saved the Americans from being en-
tirely wiped out. Maj. Bulbs battalion
had been sent from linus to take posses
sion of Perez das MariHas. On arriving
within two miles of the town the alcalde
met them and formally surrendered the
place. The houses along the road We're
filled with Flipinos of the friendly va
riety. These pretended to welcome the
invaders. When within short distance
of Perez das Marinas Maj. Bubb discov-
cred that the enemy had lines running
parallel to the road and that his force
was practically hedged in.
Gen. Wheaton was fired on in a road
and had a narrow escape. Later the
Third battalion was ordered to the front
and formed on the Las Minas road. FL
naIly the Americans secured a quantity
of Filipino arms which had been aban-
doned in the woods The scene of the
fighting is over twenty miles from Ma
Mia.

IN TENTS AND CELLARS.
Herman's Homeless Citizens Fed and
Housed by Charity.

Housed by Charity.
Five hundred homeless citizens of Her
man, Neb., are leading a very primitive
existence in the devastated place. At
night they crawl into tents provided by
the good people Of the State, or burrow
into the cellars Of their wretched homes
like so many rats. The picture is a most
distressing one. At meal times they crowd
around the church, the only remaining
structure, which is used as a morgue, hos
pital, relief depot and telegraph and repo-
torial office for the correspondents. The
property damage is 100000, with prac-
tically no insurance. A special police
force Of thirty men was necessary to dis
courage vandalism. The place was being
denuded even of the broken and dilapidat-
ed household goods. No one pretends to
be able to pick out his property. 1t is all
thrown into one great pile, which covers
several acres. But it is practically value
less. The twister formed from mass of
feecy clouds in Dane valley, half a mile
from Herman. The vapor-like mass sud-
denly seemed to turn black as ink, and
with a roar like a thousand railroad en-
gines travelling up a grade started down
the valley, beating into splinters every
thing it touched. 1t seemed to churn the
very earth.
The freaks of the great black ball were
numerous. Anderson Hopkins was blown
through the side of his barn, and the
kitchen stove, in which fire was burning.
followed him. The debris was ignited and
the farmer burned to death. Farmer Len
noN saw it coming and got his family into
storm cellar, but he was carried high in
the air and hung up in the branches Of a
tree. Later a horse passed through the
air like cannon ball and dislodged the
farmer A party Of travelling men took
refuge in the cellar Of the hotel at the vii
lage. The hotel was swept away and a
struggling horse was suddenly deposited
in the midst Of the frightened commercial
men, The animal began to rear and
plunge, and the drummers, as a matter of
self-preservation, threw the animal to the
ground by main force and sat upon him
until the cyclone had passed.
Maj. Burdick, being asked what the re-
lief committee should send in, as indicat-
ing the extent of the devastation, remark
ed I'VE need anything and everything
required by a well-regulated family, ex-
cept kindling wood" Had it not been for
the farmers of the surrounding country,
who came into the village with supplies,
the people would have starved. Visitors
crowded the village by the thousands, and
what little had been sent in they helped
eat. The people have not only to be fed
but clothed. Relief is being furnished by
all Nebraska and Iowa

all the claims involved, he has come to the
conclusion that England has rights only
in a narrow strip of land in the eastern
part of the disputed territory. He will
contend for the Venezuelan Government
that the proper boundary line should be
near the 59th parallel of latitude. Great
Britain has claimed it to be westward Of
the 63d parallel, including several exceed
ingly rich gold mines.
1t will be recalled that the United States
took no stand as to what was the true
boundary between the two states mention
ed, but insisted simply that Great Britain
submit to Venezuela's demand for arbi-
tration on the subject. Great Britain re-
fused and President Cleveland issued the
memorable message which resulted in an
American commission of investigation to
determine the true boundary. The COM
mission did not have to finish it's work
because, after a long correspondence be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Secretary of
State Richard Olney, Great Britain final
ly consented to arbitration, and by a spe-
cial treaty agreed with Venezuela to ac-
cept the decision Of a given tribunal on the
disputed territory.
The land in dispute is over 10000 square
miles in extent, greater than the areas of
New York, Connecticut and Massachu-
sets combined. Venezuela lays claim to
all the territory west of the Essequibo
river.

YELLOW FEVER IN MEXICO.
Plague Appears at Tehuantepec-Over
500 ases in Vera Cruz


Advces have been received of the ap-
pearance of yellow fever in it's most viru-
lent form in the city of Tehuantepec and
other places on the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, Mexico. There is large American
colony of coffee planters in that section,
and fears are entertained that the disease
has appeared among them. The epidemic
now extends along the coast from Vera
Cruz to the Guatemalan border, and hun
dreds Of deaths have already occurred.
In the city of Vera Cruz there are over
500 cases, and the epidemic is spreading
there rapidly.
Yellow fever in its most malignant form
has appeared among the American ma
rines stationed about the city wharves in
Havana, and the utmost alarm is felt
among all Americans, soldiers and civil
ians alike. The only death reported thus
far is that of Private Kehr, who died
after being sick thirty-six hours.

it points directly at the funnel-shaped
cloud When the wind reaches velocity
OF sixty-fve miles an hour it will spring

throw it off its balance aud it will scatter

BIG CROPS IN ALL LANDS.
This Condition Tends to Decrease the
Exports Of America.

This Condition Tends to Decrease the
Exports of America.
Good crops in all the world in the year
1S0S-99 will probably make our export
figures for the fiscal year about to end
few million dollars less than those of the
banner year 1898. For the eleven months
of the fiscal year 1899 the total exports
are $1,13O, 629,572, while in no earlier
year except 1898 did the total exports Of
line. The reduction in expectation is en-
tirely in agricultural products, and, in
deed, the total exports of farm products
of agriculture are nearly $5O, 100000 less
than those of last year.
In 1898 the crops in all parts Of the
world except the United States were I'M
usually light, and as a consequence the
prices realized for farm products exported
were much higher than the average for
many years, while in 1899, with good crops
abroad, the prices which our exporters Of
farm products are receiving are materially
quantity the exports Of agricultural pro-
ducts are in most cases as great as those
of 1898.
One curious feature in the reduction Of
our expectations relates to live cattle, in
which the expectations Of the year are rs
per cent below those of the corresponding
months of 1898, the total for eleven
months being $24 ,4S4, 1913, against $780,
1925 last year.
