In the third inning of the first game Tom
my Corcoran, the captain of the Cincin-
natl team, walked over to the coacher's
box at third base and began to scratch
gravel in way that made Petey ChileS
look like blacksmith. But there was an
apparent purpose back of Tommy's scratch
ing. In fact, his aetions caused consterna-
ton the bench which is held down by
the genial Shettsline, for, while Corcoran
was in the midst of his energetic endeav
orS, Groundkeeper Schroeder, accompanied
by a sergeant of police, swooped down
upon the Cincinnati generalissimo, but not
before he had lifted board disclosing q
nicely prepared hole in which was snugly
fitted an electric apparatus.
OF course. there was considerable COM
motion among the players and the specta-
tors, the latter of whom had no idea what
was coming off. Arlie Latham was among
the first to get peep in the little vault.
"Ha! Ha!' he said. Whats this? An
Internal machine to disrupt the noble Ma
tional League. or is it a dastardly attempt
on the life of my distinguished friend, Col
John L. Rogers?''
BY this time Umpire Tim Hurst went
over for the purpose of investigating the
cause of the commotion. Glancing at the
apparatus concealed in the hole, he said:
Back to the mines, men. Think of that
eventfu day in July when Dewey went into
Manila bay, never giving a tinker's dam

Washington to Go Into the National

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

The first convention Of the National AS
sociation of Base Ball Clubs held in Bal
timore yesterday. as told In last nights
Star. Is of the utmost Importance to the
lovers of the national game in this city.
Six cities have already been chosen in
which clubs will be placed, and there Is
yet vacancy in the eastern. as well as
the western end Of the circuit. Washing
ton Is spoken Of as the final eastern city
and Detroit will probably fill up the west
ern gap.
Just who is to back the club to be To-
Gated In this city is hard matter to de-
termine, thorough search Of the city last
night failing to discover anybody interested
enough in base ball to put money into the
venture. The Baltimore papers this morn
Ing speak of Charles R. Klosterman of that
city as the gentleman to whom the Wash
irgton franchise in the new organization
will probably be given. Mr.. Klosterman is
not well known in this city, but he has
probably looked over the local situation
and is willing to take chances. If he has
canvassed the city for financial support,
his movements have been we'll concealed.
1t Is the general impression that -1r Klos-
terman has secured backing in the monu-
mental city, and that a major part of the
backing will be put forward by Joe Kelley,
at present captain of the Brooklyn club.
Mr. Kelley has wealthy hacker in the
person or MS 1ather-1n-idW, and joe al
ways had "hankering'' after owning a
club representing Washington in big base
ball organization.
The National Association projectors evil
IDENTIFY mean business from this on, as six
of them posted 5000 each as a guarantee
of good faith. No new club will be ad-
mitted to the organization unless its back
ers are willing to put up this amount. This
guarantee will keep out unreliable people,
and assuredly make the National solid with
the public as well as the players.
Interesting, II not, sensational develop
ments can be looked for within the next
fortnight. as both Washington and De-
troit have been held open for the seventh
and eighth clubs making UP the circuit
These two cities are wanted. this city be-
cause of its known strength supporter
of the national game, and Detroit because
that city Is at present in the throes Of
excitement over the splendid showing Of
the club representing that city in the
American League
1t would be better for the game in this
city If several local men would interest
themselves In the project, but nevertheless
1T is beyond question an assured fact that
Mr.. Klosterman will be welcomed by the
local fans" especially should he be
companied by such a favorite as Joe Kel-
ley. Good base ball would be assured, if
not of the championship order, and the
patrons in this city desire nothing more.

Mr.. BRYAN ACCEPTS
Formal Presentation of His Views on
Current Questions.
APPROVES KANSAS CITY PLATFORM
Elaborates on the Trusts and the
Monroe Doctrine.
REITERATES SILVER VIEWS

William j. Bryan's formal letter accept
ing the nomination for President by the
democratic party in convention at Kansas
City was given out at national headquarters
In Chicago last night.
Mr.. Bryan begins by renewing the
pledge which he made In 1896 not to accept
q second nomination in case he should be
elected to the Office Of President. Then TAX
ing up the platform adopted at Kansas City,
he gives it his cordial and unqualified ap-
provar' as whole, and, continuing, says:
Having in my notification speech dis
cussed somewhat at length the paramount
issue Imperialism, and added some observa-
tions on militarism and the Boer war, 1t is
sufficient at this time to review the remain
ing planks of the platform.
Question of the Trusts.
The platform very properly gives promi-
nence TO the trust question. The appalling
growth OF combination in restraint OF trade
during the present administration proves
conclusively that the republican party lacks
either the desire the ability TO deal with
the question effectively. II. may be fair
ly assumed from the speeches and conduct
of the republican leaders, that party does
not intend TO take the peoples side against
these organizations then the weak and
in the republican platform is designed TO
distract attention while Industrial deSpot-
ism is completing its work. A private
monopoly has always been outlaw. No
defense can be made Of an industrial sys-
tenn in which one few men can control
for their own profit the output or price OF
any article Of merchandise. Under such a
system the consumer suffers extortion, the
producer Of raw material has but one pur-
chaser and must sell at the arbitrary price
nxed; the laborer has but one employer
and Is powerless TO protest against injus-
tice. either In wages or in conditions of la
Dor: the small stockholder Is at the mercy
of the speculator while the travelling sales
man contributes his salary to the overgrowr
profits OF the trust Since but a small pro-
portion OF the people can share in the ad-
yantages secured by private monopoly. II
follows that the remainder of the people
are not only excluded from the benefits
but are the helpless victims of every monop-
oily organized. II Is difficult to overestimate
the Immediate injustice that may be done
or to calculate the ultimate effect Of this

Having won more medals than ever fell
to the lot of any other athlete on the cinder
path kraenzlen is now anxious to shine as
a foot ball star. There was just i'm
pediment in the way. Kraenzlein's parents
have all along feared their son would be
injured in some athletic contest. AS foot
ball is considered even more dangerous
than track sports.si it required considerable
pleading on the part of the younger Kraenz-

his parents. and be had to make the trip
from Philadelphia to HIS home in Milwau-

mission both by letter land telegram.
kraenzlein will leave Milwaukee for
Philadelphia N a few days and will at once
begin regular training with the Pennsyl-

candidate for end or half back.

1.-The platform indorses the principle of di-
rect legislation. This is already applied to
the more important questions in nation,
state and city. 1t rests upon the sound
theory that the people can be trusted, and
that the more responsive the government
is to the will Of the people. the more free

labor questions: favoring a department of

1.-The Chinese exclusion act has proven an
advantage to the country, and it's cont!nu-
ance and strict Endorsement. as well as its
extension to other similar races, its impera-
lively necessary. The ASiatic Is so essen
TALLY different from the American that he
cannot be assimilated with our population,
and is, therefore, not desirable as a perma-
nent citizen. His presence as a temporary
laborer, preserving his national identity,
and maintaining a foreign scale of wages
and living. must ever prove an injustice TO
American producers, as Well as perpetual
source of irritation"
The letter declares for a generous pension
policy.
For a Nicaraguan Canal.
1.-The democratic party Is in favor of the
immediate construction, ownership and con-
troll of the Nicaragua canal by the United
States. The. failure of the republican party
to make any progress in carrying out a
pledge contained in it's platform four years
ago, together with the substitution In its
latest platform of a plank favoring an
isthmian canal for a specific declaration in
favor Of the Ncaraguan canal, would indi-
cate that the republican leaders either do
not appreciate the Importance of this great
| waterway to the maritime strength and
commercial interests of the country or
Interested opposition of tranScontinental
lines. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, now
before tne senate, would, II ratified. great
ly lessen the value of the canal If it would
not indeed convert it into positive menace
In time OF war. The paramount interests Of
the United States in the western hemis-
phere, together with the obligations to de-
fend the republics to the south of us, make
1t necessary that our government shall be
| able to close the canal against any hostile
power
The letter advocates the admission to
statehood Of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, and demands home rule and
| a territorial form of government for Alas
ka and Porto Rico"
Cuba Out of Politics.
AS to Cuba he says: THE recognition con-
tanned in both the democratic and republi-
can platforms Of the right of the Cubans
to independence removes the general prin-
| ciple involved from the domain of partisan
politics. 1t Is proper. however to consider
whether the accomplishment Of this purpose
| can be safely intrusted to the republican
party after 1t has yielded to the allurements
| of the colonial idea. and abandoned its ear
| lier faith in the natural and inalienable
| rights of man."

Admissions of Weakness.

New York Evening Sun: Democratic
claims. advanced by Bryan. Altgeld and
others, that II the election were to be
held to-day Bryan would be elected, are
regarded by Republican national lead
ers as O plain confession of Democratic
weakness and sign Of impending de-
feat. Senator Scott said on this sub
ject this morning:
This sort Of statement is an unmis-
taxable symptom of coming disaster in
the party making 1t and has always
proved reliable In past campaigns. The
word "if" Is not used by persons who
are going to succeed. Besides, the
Democratic statement Is not true, for
Mr.. Mckinley could US surely be elect
ed II the votes were cast to-day as he
could four weeks from to-day:
But II the Bryanltes think we are
going to relax our endeavors. they are
much mistaken. We shall fight them
to a finish. We shall continue to work
Just as hard for victory as hitherto. IL
not harder, and we should do so even
II we were to-day absolutely sure Of
success. because we consider 1t the
duty Of the Republican party In this
campaign not only to re-elect President
Mckinley. but also to beat Mr.. Bryan
so badly that he will never be heard of
again, and to utterly root out. crush
and eXtcrminnte the abominable here
sizes which he impcrsonateS and which
constitute such menace 20 the life
and welfare Of the republic. That
should be the ambition of every good
citizen from now to election day."
