Immediately.
Baseball enthusiasts called together
by the local association met last hight
at Turner hall. The chief purpose of
the conference was to formally or
ganiZe for the season. 1t appeared to
be the unanimous desire to have the
old officers continue the work they
have so ably undertaken, all pledging
to cooperate and push. the enterprise
along. The meeting, attracted a fair
sized turnout of lovers of the national
game. All expressed themselves as
Confident that-the game would win in
Rock Island the present year, and not
being handicapped in the matter of n
park, etc, as was the case in 1898, it
was felt that little or no difficulty

funds necessary to launch a club on

Subscriptions to be Asked.
President Sexton said today that
subscription lists would be circulated
about the city the present week, and
he desired that those who are inter-
ested in having team be prepared to
make contribution. If each one
will do something the money can be
raised in few days. The other
towns in the league are getting in
shape, and it behooves Rock Island, if
she wants to maintain her good repu-
tation, to get up and dust.
Interest in baseball in Davenport
evidently died a-bornin'. The meet
ing called at the Kimball house last
night proved n iizzle. The remaining
franchise in the Western association
will probably be given to some other

Boston, Aug. 17-The racing program
was continued in the afternoon at

perfect conditions, but only a fair-sized
crowd. The amateur events were of a
good quality, and the professional
events We're fought out, excepting the
final heat in the mile handicap, in

pocketed Major Taylor, with the result
that the handicap men got such a lead
that the four crack riders were badly
distanced and Nat and the major quit
before the finish.
The two-mile national amateur
championship was run in five heats
owing to the big field. The finishes Of
each heat were done in sprints in great
style, and at furious clips. The trials
brought some of the best riders in the
country together. The final, which went
to Jimmy Moran of Chelsea, was won
in beautiful shape.
The quarter-mile national amateur
championship, final, which yesterday was
declared a dead heat, between Peabody

WANTS WHOLE ISLAND.
Jimmy" Wishes to Rule Over Santc
Domingo and Hayti Too.

Havana, Aug 1T.-Jiminez, who as
pires to the presidency of the republic
of Santo Domingo, left today for Bata-
bano. He was accompanied by two
friends. They were all unarmed. A
private yacht which has been placed at
the disposition of Jiminez, will meet
him at Santiago, but Jiminez would not
give the name Of her owner.
Jiminez says he will unite all the
island Of Santo Domingo under one
government, and that there are plenty
of honest and competent men to fill
the posts under him. Jiminez asserts
that the present state of affairs in
Hayti, which country is bordering on a
revolution, lends itself to the idea
Col. Bacallao, chief of police detec-
tixes, Heported To Gen. Ludlow, shortly
before 8 O'Clock this evening, that Gen
Jiminez was still in Havana. Unless
he has returned, this is mistake. for
the correspondent of the Associated
Press saw him enter the train this
morning and the train move with him
on board.
Up to O'clock his departure was I'M
known to the majority of the people of
Havana, and at that hour two detec
tives were watching the house to learn
the exact moment of his leaving. A
little later the Heraldo issued an extra
that he had gone.
It appears that during the last few
days Gen. Jiminez has received Amer
lean credits amounting to nearly $1,000,
900, which were much needed to further
his plans

NORTON KISSED.
Audience Shows It's Disap-

iStration Criticism.

Ashfield, Aug. 1.-THE 21st annual
dinner of the Sanderson Academy to-
day developed into joint debate over
the policy of the administration in
dealing with the Philippines, and for
a time the discussion was decidedly
warm. The audience was about equal
ly divided and at first some of the
speakers, notably Prof. Charles Eliot
Norton of Harvard, who presided, were
Kissed. The spirit of fair play, how
ever, asserted itself, and the remain
ing addresses were given respectful at
tention. More feeling was displayed
than ever before at these meetings.
Besides Prof. Norton, State Senator
Parsons of Greenfield, Rev. John w.
Chadwick, Unitarian clergyman of
Brooklyn; Charles Dudley Warner, the
author, and Moorfield Story of Boston
all spoke against the policy of the ad-
ministration, while Rev. DIR. Albert H.
Plumb, president of the Boston Con-
gregational Club pleaded eloquently
for expansion. Miss Elizabeth Shaw
Curtis, daughter of the late George
William Curtis, spoke upon education
in life. The dinner was served at noon
and Prof. Norton opened the after
dinner exercises.

TILT WITH ROGET.

Gen. Roget, on resuming his testimo-
ny today, criticised the surveillance
inaugurated by Col Picquart over
Lieut.. Col. Henry. This surveillance,
he said, lasted several months and in
cluded the interrogation of letters ad-
dressed to Esterhazy. There had also
been searches of Henrys house during
his absence. All these measures, the
witness asserted were carried out
without the authorization of the min
lister of war, who was not even in
formed of them. Moreover, the in
vestigations were carried on at the ex-
pense of the secret service fund. The
witness also objected to Col. Picquart's
methods of watching Nine. Pays. Gen.
Roget admitted that Esterhazy was a
gambler and of immoral character
But said he, while l have acknowl-
edged his little failings, l nevertheless
maintain that he has been the victim
of abominable persecution"
Gen. Roget next spoke OF the arrest
at Belfort of Quenelh, declaring Pic
