The most artistica:iy played game OF
the opening series was that between the
St Louis and Pittsburg teams. 1t was a
pitchers battle, with Young In the box
for the home team and Lever and Wad-

best. He gave no bases on balls, struck
out seven batsmen, and had no errors
The two runs made by the Pirates were
unearned. The st. Louisans had but one
earned run out of three made. st. Louis
scored seven hits, while the Pirates made
but five. 1t was "a beautiful game, wit

The games played by the Giants in their
opening series with the Champions were
pleasant revelation to the New York fans
who witnessed them. The fact that they
have had no favorable weather for spring
practice was a serious handicap. yet the
exhibitions they have given are highly sat
isfactory. The first game was lost by an
unfortunate error, while the second was
won by superior play. With such stars as
George Davis, Jack Doyle, Kid Gleason,

Treasury Statement Shows That the "Me.

January-Almost One Half Gold.

Washington, Feb. "A s., 900, 100000
country in actual money supply was
shown to be the position of the
United States for the first time by
the statement of circulation prepared
at the treasury department. The
money in circulation January 1, 1900,
was $3.50, 1898, no, an amount never
before attained. The figures for Feb
ruary show an increase of nearly $780,

actual circulation in the United States
to $2,oO3, ,149,355. The per capita cir
culation, for an estimated population
of 77,116,OOO, is stated at .$25.9s. One
of the features of the So 100000
circulation is the fact that nearly half
of it rests: upon gold, being either gold
coin or gold certificates issued against

secret Society Called the "Boxers'' Has
Been Organized to Murder or Drive Ont
Every Foreigner in the Empire-Mis-

and One Englishman Has Been Killed.

New York. Feb. ACCORDING to
advices received by the state depart
ment at Washington from Minister
Conger, accredited to China, there is
i secret society organized in China,
he avowed object of which is the muir
der or expulsion of all foreigners in
the celestial empire. Members of the
society are known in China as the
Boxers" Mr.. Conger has joined with
representatives of other powers in pre-
senting a joint note to the Chinese
government demanding that it pro-
vide adequate protection to citizens
and subjects of western nations re-
siding in China
Minister Conger's dispatch to the
state department shows that the gov
ernment is making efforts to check
the society. Thus far the Boxers"
have confined their operations to the
province of ShanTung, which is under
German influence, one missionary, an
Englishman, having already been
killed. The information received in
dicates that missionaries are much
alarmed over their safety, and it is
in response to their appeals, and in
the case of Mr.. Conger in compliance
with an instruction sent by Secretary
Hay, that demands have been made
upon the Chinese government that it
provide foreigners and especially
missionaries with all necessary pro-
| lection.

FOR PENSION LAW REVISION
Com ,issioner Evans Says the Two General
Laws Are Burdened with Too Many -
Complicated Decisions.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Commissioner
of Pensions Evans was heard by the
house committee on invalid pensions
relative to pension legislation. Mr..
Evans expressed the belief that the
time had come for revision of the
pension laws. The two general laws
had become complicated by so many
decisions and constructions that he
believed it to be essential to have a
general revision in order to get at the
real meaning of the law and the de-
sires of congress toward the pom
sioners. He had therefore recon-
mended commission to revise the
pension laws and he believed such a
body could do its work and report to
congress by next December. Mr..
Evans was asked as to charges that
had been made that some special COM
nlissioners who investigated widows
claims asked insulting questions of
these widows. The commissioner
vigorously denied these charges.

Confidence is born of ignorance, but
