The Situation In London.

London, Sept. 3.-The difficulty of
communicating with the British minis
ter at Peking, Sir Claude Macdonald,
delays the PRONUNCIATION of the views of
the British government in regard to
its future steps in China, the government
being unwilling to commit itself publicly
to definite decision until Sir Claude
Macdonald has fully reported on the
situation. In the meanwhile a heated
anti-evacuation campaign continues in
the press. but the trend of official opinion
apparently continues favorable to the
principle of the suggested withdrawal
from Peking to Tien-tsin, but not the
evacuation of China, as many Russo
phobes, who desire to confuse the issue,
pretend is the proposal under considera-
tion.

LOST THROUGH ERRORS.
Day Pitched Well But Got
Ragged Support.
Brownson Struck a Batting Streak
in the Seventh Inning and For
Short Time it Looked as
if the Score Would
be Tied.

Brownson was defeated by the Pros
pect team at Front and Union street
grounds yesterday afternoon by the
score of 5 to 8. The game was lost by
miserable fielding, there being no less
than nine errors made by the home
team, several of which cost runs as
there was not Il run earned by the visit
ing team.
The feature of the game was the
pitching Of Day who pitched good
enough game to have won easily had
it not been for the ragged support which
was given him. Day had twelve strike
outs to his credit and also fielded his
position well. A one hand stop which
he made of a hot grounder, retiring
the man at first was on the sensational
order.
Brownson struck batting streak in
the seventh inning and for a short time
it looked as though they would prob
ably tie the score. Pennick the first
man UP in that inning made hard
drive over the right field fence for
home run. Gutenberg, the next man
up was out on an infeld hit but Baker
and McCabe each made singles. Ken
ney and Day, however, were easy outs,
leaving Baker and McCabe on bases.
After two men were out in the ninth
inning Murray hit one to deep centre
for three bases but Stannard the next
batter was unable to bring him in.
For the Prospect team the fielding of
Lodge and the excellent pitching of
Cunningham were the features.
Tho scnre was as follnws.

Milwaukee, Sept. 3.-The nineteenth
annual meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Stationary Engineers will contin-

FILIPINOS FIRE BURNING ARROWS.
Insurgents Constantly Firing on the
American OutpOsts.

Manila. Feb. 12.-Of late the insur-
gents of Albay province, Luzon, have
adopted harrassing tactics against the
towns which the Americans have gar
risoned. They camp in the hills and
maintain constant fire upon the
American outposts. When the troops
sally against them they scatter, re-
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows, and
have thus burned large part of the
town Of Albay. Indeed, most of the
large towns in that province are prac-
tically deserted, except by the gar
risons. Scarcely any of the inhabi-
tants return to their homes. They are
camping in the interior, and it Is sup
posed armed insurgents prevent them
going back. 1t is reported that there
is much suffering among them, owing
to lack of food. AS result of these
conditions the hemp business in that
section is seriously hindered, and ships
going for CargOes are compelled to
take gangs OF coolies to do their load
ing. Hemp held in the interior is
quite inaccessible.

pany is the report that Henry Phipps.
Jr., next to the largest stakeholder in

relations with Mr.. Carnegie. which
have been exceptionally close during
the latter's business life The two
steel kings have been associates since
boyhoOd and their interests havc been
identical, not only in a business way,
hut in their phianthropic work aud
social standing. The announcement OF
the breach Will therefore be a surprise
in the steel world. Mr.. Phipps owns IL
per cent Uf the capital stock Of the
company, which is more than the hold
ings of any other one stOCkhOlder eX-
cept Mr.. Carnegie.
1t is said that Mr.. Phipps alone
stands rs the only partner whose sig
nature Is not attached to the famous
ilunclad agreement. The reason for
this is not known to the public. bat
the import"ut omission, it is said. Will
lie seized upon by Mr.. F'rick as one
Of the strongest arguments in his ef-
forts to have the celebrated document
broken, his contention being that The
agreement cannot be binding when one

Molineux, who was convicted on Sat-
urday night of murder in the first de-
gree for killing Mrs. Adams by poison
sent to Harry Cornish, said yesterday
that he felt confident new trial would

steps would be taken to keep Moli-
neux from going to Sing Sing while
awaiting the result of an appeal, ard
replied that he knew of no way that
that could be avoided.
The record of the Molineux case
contains 2,225,00 words, and is said to
be the most voluminous one ever taken
in this country. Besides that the de-
fendant will have to put 1t in his brief
calling the attention of the court of
appeals to the case in requesting a new
trial, and this will necessarily be a

Molineux was as buoyant yesterday

noticeable, the warden and keepers say.
His only visitor yesterday was his
younger brother, Cecil, whom he af-
feCtiOnately embraced.

that all matters with reference to the
wage scale of the coal diggers was
settled at the Indianapolis convention
but such was not the case. An ad-

cents above the old price-66 cents pei
ton in thin vein mines. No action was
taken, however, relative to the differ.
entail between thick and thin vein
mines and the scale for lead work and
turning. The scale for machine min
Ing is also to be adjusted.
