HOME TEAM IN GOOD FORM
Takes a Game from Los Angeles by a
 Score of 4-3.

From a super-critical point of view the game of Saturday was about d faultless exhibition of ball and Phoenix defeated Los Angeles in the cleverest kind of manner. From the toss of the first ball to the final out both teams dished up a game that was full of all the features which go to produce the kind of ball that made the game so popular years ago, but which has grown to be rather d scarce article in these more modern times. The victory of the home nine gives each team credit for two games and makes to- days contest the decisive point. Hart well is to pitch this afternoon and Si- galia will play back of the bat.
 A sensational catch by WOrmell, Hartwell's good work at the homestead, Mariana's capture of a fly for which he had to reach over the bleachers, Nor- hees' fast handling of business in his territory, the steady, consistent playing of Cisney at first, and Sigala's dis play of his old time form at the front end of the battery, were the chief fea- lures of the home teams exhibition, while Simmons pitching for the visitors and the playing of Smiley at third base, and that of Little at the second bag, were noteworthy.
 The score is below.

A LIGHT IN THE EAST
An Indication of the Breaking
 of the Strike
A Settlement Will Be Effected With the Miners Without Recognition of the Mine Workers Union Per haps Tomorrow.

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-At the end of the first week of the strike in the coal fields of the Pennsylvania railroad there are not wanting signs on the part Of some of the strikers to return to their work This sentiment is gen. orally confined, so far as reported, to the English speaking element among the mine workers. Experience has shown that these men are the most conservative, the foreigners being inn pulsive and hot-tempered in strike times.
 Notwithstanding tbe serious outbreak necessitating the sending of troops to Schuylkill county everything is report ed quiet in the entire coal region to- night. There is a feeling that efforts will be made in all the districts on Monday to start the mines that are now idle. The persistence of the corpora tions and individual mine owners in asserting that they will consider the grievances of their employees individ- ually, but will never under any circum- stances treat with the United Mine Workers, has undoubtedly had it's eff feet and it would not be surprising if many mines that have been closed since the strike should resume operations, at least partially, at the beginning of next week.

AN EMERGENCY RATION.
A Test Will Be Made by the War De-
 partment This Week.

Washington. Sept 22.-Much import ment to the tests to be made next week to determine what shall be he new en- crgency ration ror the United States army in the field. The test in itself will be among the most interesting eXpcri- ments in the history of the United States army, and it will probably re- suit in a complete change in the feeding of the American soldier during activity in the field. Two thousand ratiOns of combination of foods Wil'ch the emers- ency ration DOar1 has decided to tcs t are now being rrapdrel. As soon as these are prepared they vii! De tested by a troop of cavalry made up of men from Fort Sill and Fort Reno, who will undertake an experimental march across the Indian territory. The men will travel and camp in a country where there will be no opportunity for them to get anything to eat except the emergency ratiOns issued to them At the end of every days march each man will be weigheG. and all symptoms of his physical condition carefully roted.
 Two combinations of foods will be tried on the test march. One is being prepared dr Kansas City by the cmcrg- ency ration board itself, while the other is being prepared ny a private concern. Th@ ration prepared by the emergency bOarI consists of TWO cakes of pure sweet chocolate anC three cakes of combination 0f meat and bread stuff in a conder5el form, the entire ration being contained in a small tin can six inches long, flat anI rounded like a flask. The patent ration which is to be given test is made up of d cake of tea in the place of the chocolate and combination of breadstuff and meat in a condensed form. The one object sought is to obtain a food that will give strength and at the same time be of such small bulk that to carrytit will not add to the labor of the soldier on a forced march.

WE WILL QUIT PEKIN
That Much Is Satisfactory to Russia. Germany's Proposal Is Declined But It Is Signifed That the Re tribution Desired by Germany Will Be Insisted Upon When the Proper Time Comes.

Washington, Sept. O. The state department tonight made public the text of the notes addressed by it to the governments of Germany, Russia and China in answer to inquiries from them as 10 the attitude of the United States toward the various phases of the Chinese problem. The forecasts of these notes made in the press appear to have been accurate, for. although nowhere in the text is reference made to withdrawal of United States troops from China, the official statement is sued by the navy department in ad- vance of the publica ton of the notes bears out the prediction that the gov ernment finally has decided upon such material reductions of its military forces as will amount to a withdrawal of the army as an offensive instru- ment.
 This statement from the navy depart ment, moreover. is full of significance of the purpose on the part of the gov ernment to see to it that if there is any subsequent attsmpt at territorial az gression on the part of any of the powers who already have declared themselves as willing to abide by the expressed ueIeGnlndllOn or Inc jnlltu States to refrain from sezing upon Chinese territory, then the United States is to lose no right or privilege which 1t now enjoys by such action.
 The notes themselves are brief con sidering the importance of the topics treated. Russian and Japanese an swers are in the form of diplomatic memoranda and are short to degree rarely seen in diplomatic exchanges. But in both cases being completely re- sponsive and favorable to the inquiry. they will escape criticism on that score.
 The answer to the German note is carefully phrased so as to soften the unqualified refusal of the United States government to make the punishment of the Chinese ringleaders a condition precedent to negotiations. Also it is noted that in the expression of the purpose to insist upon the ultimate and proper punishment of these off nders. the state department goes far beyond the German declaration on the subject.
 The announcement that the depart ment intends immediately to begin through MT. Conger conferences with Ching and Iii Hung Chang, although distinctly marking the fact that these are only preliminary to final negotia tiOnS, will have the effect to force the other powers to an immediate detcrmi- nation of their policies in this matter.

V0N WALDERSEE'S JOB
He Will Determine What Military Operations Are Necessary and When It Is Time for the Powers to Retire from Pekin-An Inti- mated Determination to Make the Humiliation of China Complete.

Berlin, Sept. 22-The Austrian am bassador here, Count von Szogeny. in an interview, said: There is an CT roneous impression in the press about Count von Waldersee's mission. A number of important tasks await him. Above all, he must force China to sub init to the allied powers peace condi- tions. Moral force Is entirely wasted upon the Chinese government, which, far from being humiliated hitherto. still indulges the hope of cheating the allies out of the fruits of their victories by destr:,ying harmony among them.
 Won Waldersee must arrange what military dem0nstrations he may re- Tuire, what harbors and inland towns must be occupied, which points require expeditions and which troops may re- tire from Pekin. All the powers are bound to this programme by agreeing upon von Waldersee as commander in chief, but each may reduce or in crease it's contingent at will.
 Regarding the statement that von Waldersee will act as chief diplomatic representative for the powers, that if it ever was intended, has been aban- doned. It is possible the powers may jointly appoint one plenipotentiary for settlement of their joint demands. viz, the safeguarding of the foreign colonies and missions, to enable mcr- chants to safely resume business ev- anywhere in China and also to rear range the status of the diplomatic corps.
 Possibly the Chinese government hereafter will be located more Inland; then foreign diplomats will either be located at a treaty port, perhaps Tlen Tsin. or else they will need a large military protection.
 All of this von Waldersee must en- force and also Germanys own special demands. How each of the powers separate demands will be regulated and enforced is a different matter. All the powers mean to observe the motto: No further territorial acquisitions

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Secret Society on Which Rome Looks
 With a Friendly Eye.

New York, Sept. 2t Prominent of Columbus are not disposed to place much credence in the rumor that their order is to be suppressed by the vati- can, though they are more or less agi- tated over the story. It is a we'll known fact that the church has never given strong encouragement to such organ izatiOns, but in the case of the Knights of Columbus there have been so many outward evidences of approval that those high in the councils of the order are not inclined to believe that the or ganization has lost favor in the eyes of Rome.
 While a secret order in the strict sense of the word, the order has always aimed at securing the approval of the clergy and it's members have always been ready to open the doors of their meetings and their limitations to the clergy, whether they have been mem bers of the order or not. The ritual has received the approval of Cardinal Gibbons. Mgr. SatolIi and various bishops throughout the country. Less than two years since the order endowed a chair at the Catholic University at Washington, and received a friendly acknowledgment direct from Rome. In view of these circumstances mem- bers of the order, which now has thou sands of members scattered throughout the country. are not worrying much over the story that they are to be placed under the ban. Moreover, it is pointed out the order has an able sponsor in close touch with the Holy Father in the person of Mgr. William H. O'Connell, rector of the American college, and a member of the order. who only resigned as chaplain of one of the Boston coun- cis because of his call to ROme

A FRENCH FEAST
Designed to Put the People In Good
 Humor for Election.

Paris, Sept. 22.-Paris talked of little else than the great banquet given to- night by the government in honor of the mayors of France. It has been known for some time that the govern ment. for reasons best known to the higher officials, has intended the feast to be the most notable affair of it's kind in modern history but only those who were permitted to see the prepar- ations in progress in the Garden Tull- cries today could form an adequate idea of the scope of the project. Twenty thousand guests were at the tables. Three thousand cooks and walters were necessary to prepare and serve the choice viands under which the great banquet boards groancd. Six thousand pounds of beef, 1.5O0 phoasants, 2,50) ducklinEs. 5.G00 pounds of salmon and tons of other edibles were washed down by 5000 bottles of champaign and 35.OOO bottles of the choicest of French and Italian wines.
