HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Portsmouth and Norfolk put up one
Of the finest exhibitions of baseball
on yesterday afternoon that has been
witnessed this season in these sur
roundngs. The fielding was of n sem
sational order and the batting of
Portsmouth hard and timely. Ian
drum pitched for Portsmouth and
proved THE superior of Tierney, who
performed the same task for Norfolk.
Twelve hits, with Ii total of twenty
bases. was the record of the Ports
mouth batters. and five of the seven
runs were earned. Norfolk scored her
first run in the first inning. Spratt
stole second and scored on Jim Smiths
single. After this only one Norfolk
player got as far as second base.
Portsmouth scored her first run in
the second inning, when Murray hit
for two sacks. stole third and reached
home on Nelson's error. In the third
Clarke singled, stole second and scored
on Z. Gilligan's single. The fourth
and fifth were non productive of runs,
but triples by f. Gilligan and Rapp
and Murray's single were the cause of
two more TALES in the sixth. Singles
by Landrum, Kohnle and Murray and
n double by Kemmer sent in three In
the seventh and ending Portsmouth's
scoring. Murray and Kohnle got in a
few "circus" catches. while Il. Gilt
gan and Jim Smith held down their
positions in great style. Murray led
in hitting, having a record of three
singles and a double four times up
The Portsmouth team as now consti-
tuted is certainly the scrappiest. fast
est and most aggressive that has ever
worn n Portsmouth uniform, and they
are playing the game for all there is
in it. The same teams play in Norfolk

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Minor Engagements Are Reported
Charge Against Gen. Funston
Unsustained.

Manila, May 2s.-Scouting, small en-
gagements and the capture of arms
and prisoners continue daily in north
ern Luzon. Last weeks operations by
the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirty third, Thir-
ty-fourth and Thirty-sixth regiments
resulted in the killing of 46 of the enc
my, the taking of $50 prisoners and the
capture of 300 rifles and quantity of
ammunition.
Peace reigns and no trouble is ex-
pected in Manila, although the city is
crowded with people from the prov
inces who are leaving the unprotected
hamlets in order to avoid the conscrip-
tion which the insurgent leaders are
enforcing, as well as robbery and out
RACES at the hands of rowing insurgents
and bandits.
The investigation of the charge
against Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston
of having summarily executed two ma
tives in the province of Zambales has
resulted in discontinuance of the pro-
ceedings. 1t developed the fact that
Gen. Funston caught the natives in the
act of numbering bound Maccabebe
scouts, his action, in view of the cir
cumstances, being regarded as justi-
fable.

SUNSTRoKE AND HEATSTRoKE
A Distinct Difference Between the
Two--Former Can Only Occur
In the Tropics.

According to French medical jour-
nal it has been ascertained by DR..
ference between prostrations from
heat and pure sunstroke. True sun
stroke can occur only in the tropics.
since there alone are the rays of the
sun powerful enough to produce the
action on the Uranium that constitutes
sunstroke. Heatstroke, on the other
hand, is produced by the action on
the whole surface of the body, during
a sufficiently prolonged period of a
temperature exceeding 1O4 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t may result from con-
tinued overheating in a room, as in
the case of stokers on board ship, who
work in high temperature and with a

Washington, May a9.-Admiral
Dewey's claim for prize money on ac-
count of the battle of Manila was
settled by the supreme court yester-
day. 1t approved the Judgment OF
the court of claims, which fixed the
amount due him at 500 for each man
of the force, on the ground that the
enemy's force was inferior to his
own. He claimed $500, asserting that
the enemy's force was superior. This
was conceded by the court, but the
only rule of the court in similar
cases, said Justice Harlan. had been
to give 800 man when the enemy's
vessels were the superior. The total
amount awarded Dewey by this judg-
ment is about $4,000.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The stock market
continued to advance today, although
the forenoon dealings we're character
lied by very irregular movements as re-
garded the general situation. Interest
continued exceedingly well diversified,
and the dealings in no special quarters
overshadowed those in the remainder of
the list There were no fresh develop
ments over night or during the business
session to which the course of prices
could be definitely referred. Little atten-
ton appeared to be paid TO the anthra-
cite coal miners strike. nor was it pcs
sibIe to deduce from today's news any
clear differences as TO the probable dd-
ration of the strike.
As is ordinarily the case on Friday,
the money market was somewhat more
active. but its tendency did not inter
fere with the course of the speculation.
Sterling exchange remained at yester-
days levels, but private cables reported
a fairly active enquiry in London for
gold for American account. The probable
showing to be made by the banks in their
weekly statement tomorrow was actively
canyassed but while a further reduc
tion in reserves was generally counted
upon, trading was in no wise restricted
on that account
While the most pronounced advances
were recorded in the industrial quarter,
and notably in the steel stocks, rises in
the railway list in number of cases at
tanned considerable proportions. There
were substantial gains in Northern Pacific,
Baltimore and Ohio common, the grangers,
Atchison, ald the other Pacific stocks. The
anthracite coal stocks were rather neg
lected and the fluctuations there were lin
tied. Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit were both strong and active, the
strength of Manhattan being accompanied
by some seemingly rather premature esti-
mates of the extent to which that property
will benefit through electrical operation of
the elevated lines That the company Will
benefit immensely by the substitution of
electrical for its present motive power
cannot be questioned, but ii is not appar-
ent why the subject should have been so
suddenly revived as ii has been at this
time
The features of the Industrial quarter
were Federal Steel, American Steel and
Wire, and American Steel Hoop, in all of
which cases the advances were accounted
for as rejecting a decidedly improved de-
mand for the products Of those companies.
As was 10 have been expected, the trading
IN Tennessee Coal and Iron was decidedly
feverish, the fluctuations continuing ex-
ceedingly wide. Sugar Refining and Amer
lean Tobacco, while not conspicuously ac-
tive, were very steady. Buying for for
eign account in this market was conducted
continuously throughout the morning and
In the aggregate these purchases amounted
10 about 10000 shares. The foreign pur-
ehases were quite generally distributed,
but were largest in Union Pacific common.
