FOR BENEFIT Of PLAYERS.
PITTSBURG PAPER HAS A SCHEME
SIMILAR TO THE TEMPLE
CUP SERIES.
If the Pirates Finish First or Second,
The Chronicle Telegraph VIII Put
Up Five Hundred Dollar Trophy
for the Top Two Clubs to Play for,
Proceeds to Go to the Players.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September Tn
order to commemorate the great base
ball season of 1900 with special refer
ence to the fine work of the Pittsburg
club, the Chronicle Telegraph makes
the following offer, which was tele-
grapbed to Managers Hanlon and
Clark to-day:
IF Pittsburg finishes in first or sec
ond place, the Chronicle Telegraph Of
fers silver trophy costing $500, to be
contested for in a series of games to
be played wholly or in part at Pitts
burg, between the pennant winner and
the club finishing next, the trophy to
become the property of the club win
ming the series and the receipts to go
to the players; the number of games
and all the details of the contest to be
arranged by the managers Of the two
clubs.
The people of Pittsburg are greatly
interested in the result of the race, and
we are sure that such series after
the season will tend largely to increase
base ball sport, in addition to raising
a very handsome fund for the players
of the two clubs for their faithful work.
IF you win the pennant, or second
place, will you accept our proposition
for the series of games? Please answer
by wire to enable us to give all possible
publicity to the games if you decide to
accept.

"PITTsBURG CHRONICLE TELE-
GRAPH"
The offer differs from the Temple cup
series in the condition that the Pitts
burg club finishes first or second and
the trophy becomes the absolute prop
erty of the club winning the series.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Secre-
tary of the Treasury has received adj
vices from Alaska confirming the re-
ports that a most deplorable condition
exists among the native Indians along
the coast from Cape Nome northward,
The treasury officials are powerless to
render any aid to the sufferers, owing TO
the fact that the department has no
available funds for such purpose, but
Gen. Spaulding has written a letter to
the war department, which has a fund
that can be drawn upon in emergency
cases like the present, recommending
that food be supplied and distributed
under the direction of the army officer
in charge of the troops stationed there.
1ne treasury department will furnish
surgeons from the Marine hospital SER
vice, and the customs officers will be
instructed to render any assistance pos
sible The Red Cross Society is be-
coming interested in the relief meas
ures now being taken, and 1t Is not I'M
likely that 1t will cooperate to the ex-
tent Of furnishing clothing for the des-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September I.
The National Board OF the Cnijed
Mine Workers of America went Into
executive session at 10 o'clock this
morning and at once took up the sit
uation in the anthracite coal fields.
Fred Dilcher, of the Board arrived
here from Wilkesbarre, Pa, this morn
ing and was present at the meeting.
John Mitchell, president. was IN COM
munication late last night with Halle
ton, Pa, by long distance telephone.
No encouragement was received, and a
general strike is now considered in
evitable.
The order to strike will probably aot
be given before tomorrow. Ii may be
telegraphed to. the leaders of the an
thracite miners before being given out
here.
I'VE will certainly issue the order for
a general strike, and the country may
as well be satisfied with this STATE
ment," said one of the Board members
to-day. I'VE care little what the op-
orators have to say as TO the impend-
ing distress in the Wyoming or other
valleys. We are running things from
Indianapolis now. The statement that
there will be great distress does not
worry US; we will take care OF our
men if they go on a strike, ard will
not ask the operators for any financial
aid"
1t was announced to-day that the
large defense fund held by the Illinois
miners could not be used without the
consent of the local unions in that
state.
One of the features of the conference
to-day is the attendance of several
prominent labor leaders who are not
board members. W. D. Ryan, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Illinois miners, is
on the ground. The Illinois men have a
defense fund of nearly 5000, 900, and it
is reported that Ryan is here to pledge
the financial support of the Illinois or
ganization in case a general anthracite
strike is ordered.
w. D. Vanhorn is also in the city,
HIS presence lends color to the reports
that the national board is preparing to
place the bituminous operators in a po-
sition where no relief can be given the
anthracite operators when a strike is
on,

CHLOROFORN DIDN'T KILL.

just as Preparations Were BEING
Made to Convert Their Bodies
Into Fertilixer-Eulton Boys Killed

claimed Dogs Sold at n Dollar Per
Head.

When the State Humane Society es-
tablished a dog pound. it was decided
to apply humane methods to the kill
ing of unclaimed CANNES. 1t was 0e-
lieved that the friendless pups could
be conveyed into the happy hunting
ground by the application OF chloro-
form, so that the transition from life
TO death would be painless and pleas
ant. Yesterdays experience proves that
ehloroform don't work with Wheeling
dogs, and the Humane Society may yet
be compelled to adopt the more PRINT
tive and effective meraods-the AK and
the gun.
For dollar any citizen can have
his choice of unclaimed dogs. Sew
eral bargain hunters have picked up
good watchers and parlor pets at this
price. Fifteen OF the dog-catehers VIC
Tins were doomed to die yesterday. and
DR.. Petrie was pressed into service to
administer the chloroform. The drug
was applied until the animals were
stiff.
Chief Clemans furnished a box OF
convenient size, and gave small boy
dollar to take the supposed dead dogs
to the fertllizing plant in Fulton. No
attention was paid to them until the
dogs began TO bark In chorus, and
show other signs OF life. They left
their coffin one at time, and began
scampering around the place. Some OF
them got out, and the good citizens of
Fulton saw Nightmares. Visions OF hy-
drophobia troubled them. Then tho
small boys got after rne dogs with
clubs and beat them to death
The Fulton boys had learned the fic-
ton about cats having nine lives. and
they didn't know how many dogs had.
They had ocular evidence OF two. aisi
were not disposed TO take foolish
chances, so after clubbing the dogs they
tossed a number of them into boiling
water. Their theory A1lAhSi II 49,
would lose all their lives II they re-
manned in the water long enough.
The authorities OF Fulton notified
Chief Clemans by phone last night Of
the resurrection Of the Wheeling dogs.
and added that they would not permit
more supposed dead dogs to be sent to
the bailwick of their jurisdiction.
This is a knotty problem for the
Humane Society.

ed between the powers now have better
promise of success. The compromise
suggested, it is asserted here, is the
withdrawal of the forces of all the
powers from Pekin, leaving an internal
tional guard TO protect the legations,
which it is further asserted in Paris,
will be allowed to remain ait the Chi
nese capital pending peace settlement.
The main body of troops, it is also said,
win retire to the neighborhood of Tien
Tsin, leaving sufficient force along the
road to keep open the route and rail-
road between Pekin and Tien Tsin.
Russias attitude is interpreted here as
meaning that she will withdraw her
troops outside the walls of Pekin, but
not necessarily a great distance from
that city.

WASHINGTON, September 7.-As to
the numerical strength of : peace COM
mission, the general impression seems
to be that it would not consist of more
than five members, more likely three.
and possibly of only two. 1t can be
stated upon the highest authority that
there will be upon the commission
some American of pre-eminent abili-
ity, whose reputation would be an
immediate guarantee TO the American
people that American interests would
be safe in his hands and whose stand
ing before the world would be such as
to give him and those associated with
him prestige abroad. 1t is believed
that the administration is now casting
about for such man to head the COM
mission when it shall be ready to ap-
point it. The names of ex-President
Harrison, ex-Secretary of State Day.
and John Bassett Moore, who was sec
rotary of the peace commission at
Paris, have been mentioned in this
connection.
