ager Harris of the local team was asked
concerning this report he stated that he
had heard nothing regarding 1t, and vol
unteered the remark, while he would hate
to lose Sullivan. he would have no regret
if he bettered his condition. Regarding
Sullivan's ability, the st. Louis team
might go farther and fare worse; He
also said that Sullivan was easily the
best first baseman in the California
League. playing the points of the game
and covering more ground than any first
baseman in the league.

When the unfinished 2:20 trot was called,

of George Carney, who had won two heats
on Tuesday and protested against post
ponement later driving a heat by himself
and claiming the race, decided to contest
with the others, contemplating an appeal
to the beard of review if he failed to win.
The judges said they would expel him If
he did not show up and ignored the soli-
tary heat business of Tuesday evening.
In the pooling there was some uncer-
tainty owing to the peculiar conditions,
but Carney sold favorite. After Carney
had been beaten in close finish by We

was compelled to send the bad acting We
nus away to a bad break in the final heat.

off handily and closed the incident.

There was spirited fight for the money

The Receiving Hospital was again opened
yesterday and several patients were treat

became unfastened and he was precipi-
tated to the ground, distance of about
forty feet. His left arm was badly frac-
tured at the elbow and DIR. Heintz had
to remove a portion of the elbow bone.

The TrnnsrnnI Crisis.

The prospect of war in South Africa ap-
pears to have grown to certainty in the
opinion of people in England generally.
All expectation of an acceptable backdown
by the Beers seems to have been aban-
doned, and, although the advocates of
peace at any price in the old country and
at Cape Colony are making strenuous ef-
forts TO avert the crisis, nothing shsws
on the surface of things to encourage
much hope of an amicable settlement.
Among the Outlanders in the Transvaal
absolute panic reigns. All who have
money to carry them out of the country
are leaving, and it is probable that the
Cape authorities will attempt to assist the
poor, who are without the means of es-
cape, 10 get over the border. The Beers
are massing on their western frontier, and
throughout the republic are preparing for
what they evidently consider an inevitable
struggle
There is the widest divergence of 0pin-
can be opposed TO the British. One London
authority thinks that, with the Afrikander
recruits from Natal, the Orange Free State
and Cape Colony. Joubert can count on
something like sixty thousand men, while
the imperial army does not aggregate over
thirty thousand at present. Another OBJ
server, in South Africa, does not think the
Beers can Immediately muster more than
fifteen thousand troops. Probably the truth
lies between the extremes, and it is per-
haps safe to assume that the numbers of
each side are approximately equal. They
will not remain so for any length OF time,
for England is not likely to repeat this ms
takes of the former war and assail the enc
my with weak columns. If MIR. Chamber
| lain and his Government appear to be in
/ dulginge in delay and hesitation for the
moment, there is doubtless a reason for
that policy in the advisability Of getting
the regiments, now en- route from England,
to the Cape, and in landing the Indian con-
| tingent In Natal before the actual out
break of hostilfties.
| Whether the Beers will wait for these
things to happen before striking. is a
question. Dom Paul is quoting Old Tes-
/ lament texts and working himself and his
people into state of fanaticaI zeal for
their cause. He may take notion TO pre-
/ cipitate events. 1t is a critical time in

that Carter ought to have promotion and
the thanks of Congress for his distinguish
ed and vigorously honest service, why is 1t
that Edmunds, who is a man learned in
the law, and up to every one of its tricks,
could not find some evidence supporting
the fact in the trial record? Why is it, If
the defendants absolute innocence of
wrongdoing has been SO plain to his
staff comrades, and the wickedness OF
his persecution so obvious to them, that
they have not spoken before and relieved
the Administration from one of the worst
dilemmas il has ever been called upon,
under Providence, to tackle?
We are afraid that cynical people will
attempt to trace some connection between
this sudden and startling explosion of en-
thusiasm for the prisoner and the threat
made by his hackers a few days ago, that
unless all hands turned in and helped to
save him. there would be beautiful and
accomplished exposure all along the line,
the consequences of which must be destruc-
tive to a large and well-selected assort-
ment of regulations. civil, military. legis-
lative and otherwise.
OF one thing the country will take note
with satisfaction. The putrescent light of
this scandal cannot much longer be hid
under the Administration bushel. The
public will finally get a chance TO under
stand the true inwardness Of the affair. and
will reach decision, which may or may
not agree with that to be rendered by the
Commander in Chief.

The Buckeye Democrats.

From tnest Eilulref.)
The embarrassments OF the Republican leader.
ship are so great and the failure Of the Admin
stration to redeem its pledges is so perspicuous
that thoughtful and patriotic Democrats are not
inclined to lose the splendid opportunities this
ante-Presidential year presents. Complicated as
the conditions may appear TO the infiamed i'm
aginations of our Republican contemporaries, the
Democrats will find easy way to ''get to-
gether' and give the forces of Mr.. Hanna an ap-
proximate monopolyNof internal dissentions.
The ADMINISTRATORS base their hopes not so
much on what they have to offer TO the people. as
to cherished notion that their opponents will
throw away their chances in of mistakes
The mistakes of the Democracy have usually arisen
from independence OF thought and action. Dem
oerats have not. perhaps. the dogged cohesive
ness that pertains to party sehoolod in practical
politics by long leases OF power. The excesses
Of Bossism and the failure of the Administration
have. however, made the mission OF the Denoc-
racy so plain this year, and have prominently
bIazed for them the path to victory. that there
is not single difference of opinion presenting
itself at the GAINESVILLE convention that should not
disappear IN the face OF common sense.
