TO-DAY'S GAMES. (,
Fort Wayne at Wheeling.
Grand Rapids at Mansfield.

A. New CuSila Mt INnledn !

1t was battle royal between Wheel
Ing and Fort Wayne yesterday after
noon, and that Fort Wayne won may
be ascribed to the dirty work OF Jack"
Glasscock, the captain and first base
man of the visiting team. When Jack"
first appeared on the field he was given
a flnttering reception ut the hands OF
bis friends, but ten minutes later the
fellows who had been cheering were
engaged in Kissing him.
1t was pitchers battle, and II Par
viz had received the support accorded
Swain. the result would have been
different, perhaps The Southern Lacquer
pitched the finest quality OF ball
ever witnessed here. The visitors hit
him for two singles. and In the ninth O
slow inileld hit to Niles. which the lat
ter could not probably have felded to
first in time, brought the total up to
three Swain. too was In fine fettle,
the stogies getting only six singles In
a pinch Swain was especially strong.
The game was won In the fifth, when
Fort Wayne's two and the only runs OF
the game were made. Doggy" Miller
led Off with corking single that made
Parvln duck for his life. Jus: as Pary,u
was pitching to Glasscock, Miller start

ball, missed it. and then, MS claimed by
the Wheeling players and many specta-,

base. AS Twineham was throwing out

ARE STILL IN THE DARK
Conflicting Dispatches From the
Transvaal.
KRUGER IS VERY SHIFTY
Has Withdrawn the Five Y ear Fran chise
and Made Temporary Counter
Suggestions to Great
Britain.

London, Sept. 4.--Among the crowd
of conflicting dispatches from South
Africa regarding the Transvaal situa-
ton, it is still impossible to say ex-
actly what has happened. 1t seems
evident, however, that President Kru-
ger has withdrawn the five-year fran
chise, which was dependent on Great
Britain's acceptance Of impossible con-
ditions regarding suzeranty, and has
made some sort of temporizing counter
suggestions regarding a conference.
The Standard and Diggers' News
gives what purports to be a report of
the secret session of the volksraad on
Saturday According to this account
the volksraad not only determined to
reject the five-year proposition, but
also directly opposed President Kruger
visiting Capetown and resolved to
make a stand for the abrogation of
England's claim of suzerainty The
Boer organ then asserts:
The government, both the raads and
the burghers. feel that they have Of
fered all they intend to offer and are
now resolved to stand or fall by this
decision"
Boer statements of this kind, coupled
with the arrests at johannesburg,
speak louder than the wriggling pre-
lenses of Pretoria about arriving at an
understanding. Certainly Mr.. Money
penny and the other refugees will not
be in a hurry to return to Johannes
burg on account of the fine assurances
of the state attorney.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-05
WAR A CERTAINTY.
Beers win Raid Natal Before the Eng
lish Troops Arrive.

London, Sept. 5.-The johannesburg cor
respondent of the Standard says:
II learn from an official who has been
earnestly striving for peace that the mat
ter is now hopeless. The Beers will prob
ably declare war at As hours notice and
will try to raid Natal before the British
troops arrive. | believe the Orange Free
State will join the TransSaal but that the
Beers in Natal and Cape Colony will re-
main quiet at the outset, unless irritated
by the dismissal of the Cape Colony cabi-
net.
1.-THE Beers have the fullest confidence
in their magazine rifle and their skill in
craftsmanship. State Attorney SHUTS is
the chief inciter of the war party. Thirty
thousand men in the Transvaal and 90
900 in the Orange Free State will take the
field.
The Times prints a letter from the Bish-
OPP of Pretoria, appealing for funds to re-
lieve the terrible distress caused by the
protracted tension and the fears of war.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Del
agoa Bay says the refugees from Barber
ton declare that they were warned to
leave, as the Beers intended to Gordon the
district.
There are numerous other dispatches
giving rumors as to war plans and prepa-
rations and the probably altitude of the
natives and possible developments.
