two teams which crossed bats on
the diamond at the ball park Friday
afternoon. The grand stand was
packed-with ladies, and the bleach
ers were filled with members Of the
masculine sex. But the grand stand
did not present the appearance that
the players themselves did. The
former had rather a gala day ap-
pearance with its numerous ribbons,
handkerchief, etc, floating in the
air Z but the ball tossers them
selves who looked very much as
II they had gotten into a local ''three
ball''. and helped themselves to
all the gaudy and misfit base ball
clothing they could find. Suits Of
all sizes, styles and colors were worn
by the players to give the impression
that they at least had the correct
idea as to what 1T meant to appear
as II they were really ball players.
But referring to- the game itself,
there has never been another like it In
this city. 1t is the second game the

IsIsEyITIES.

A tornado did considerable damage
in the north part of Hamburg wreck
ing Fred Johnson's sheds, corn cribs
and wind mills. His stock was con-
siderably injured by flying missiles
and his house was removed from its
foundation. The residence of Lark
Miller and John Crane were complete
wrecks, but no one was seriously in
iured. There was considerable damage
done to other property in the destruc-
ton of small buildings, etc.
At the home of John Sterling, a
farmer living two miles north of
Bevington, few days ago, hay was
piled around the house and barn at
o'clock in the morning and set on fire.
Mrs. Sterling and her children were
awakened by the plunging of the
horses in the barn and managed to
save the house. The barns, cribs, hay
stacks and every outbuilding on the
place was destroyed. Four horses
and number of hogs were burned to
death. A month ago Mrs. Sterling APP
piled for a divorce, after having Ster-
ling arrested for beating her children
by her former husband, John McMich-
ael. The justice gave Sterling time to
get bonds and dismissed him. He was
not seen afterward. After the fire
tracks were found leading from the
house. Officers and citizens searched
for Sterling without success. Later
Thomas Casey, a farmer, discovered him
in hole in "a strawstacll on his farm.
Casey ordered Sterling to come out and
on his refusal to come, set fire to the
stack. Sterling remained in the stack
until the flames reached him and then
cut his throat with a jack knife,
plunging through the flames and fall
ing at Caseys feet. The man was hor-
ribly burned and nearly bled to death
before Casey could obtain medical as
sistance. The physicians say he will
live.

What the Papers Think of Roberts's
Criticism of Butler.

Criticism of Butler.
LONDON, April 19.--Lord Roberts's
criticisms of Butler, Warren and Col.
Thorneycroft continues the topic of
acute interest. All the papers com
ment at length on the structures Of the
British commander-in-chief in south
Africa. They are praising Roberts for
his frankness and specializing upon
what the publication of his dispn .ches,
at the present moment por,"nds.
Some of them maintain there is moth
ing left for Butler but to resign. The
st. James Gazette is particularly
scathing. Referring to Buffers report,
1T says: Newer before in the hi story
OF our armies did it happen that gen
erals scrubbed their confessions of
failure and defeat and of useless deaths
OF men and of discredit to the flag in a
manner which suggests the careful Sc
lection from the forced POPULARITY of
the funny man, the slangy chatter of
the horsey woman and the gable of
the smoking room late in the evening
The Globe declares: "A more pitlable
record of indecision in plan and con-
fusion in execution we seldom read"
and adds what little reputation Butler
had left has been scattered to the
winds.

LONDON, April 2.-Dispatches from
the seat of war, though meager and
unsatisfactory, clearly indicate re-
newed activity at all points where the
British and Boer forces are in striking
distance of each other. Interest for
the moment centers at Dewetsdorp
and Wepener, where fighting evident
ly is in progress. A dispatch received
from Aliwal North, dated April 81,
says that there was heavy firing on
the previous day between Dewetsdorp
and Wepener and around Wepener on
Saturday, but that no particulars have
been received. A special dispatch
from Maseru, dated Saturday, says:
THE investment of Wepcner con-
tinues. The Beers seem determined
to Do their utmost to capture the gar

A dispatch from Swartzl<opfontein

DIPLOMACY NEAR AN END.

Ministerial Relations Between Uncle
Sam and the Sultan May BE Severed.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Serious
trouble with Turkey is threatened.
Within week it is probable that
diplomatic relations between Wash
ington and Constantinople will be sew
cred and the interests of the United
States in Turkey be placed in the hands
OF the German or English government.
There are no indications as yet that
the sultan intends to pay the indem-
nifty. The Turkish view of the pres
ent crisis is the one which that gov
eminent invariably holds whenever a
foreign powsr attempts to secure pay
ment of claim--that the foreigner is
making feint or bluff" and has no
intention of going beyond that stage.
Secretary Hay and Assistant Secretary
Hill have done everything they could
within the proprieties to convince
Turkey that the United States is not
bluffing, that we mean to see this
thing through, and still the sultan re-
fuses to see it in that light. He is
himself so much in the habit of MAX
ing these plays that they have become
a regular stock in trade with him, and
he cannot conceive such thing as
another government being in earnest.
In official circles there is small expec-
tation that Turkey will pay unless the
screws be put on great deal harder,
and the severance of diplomatic rela-
tions is well nigh inevitable unless
Turkey surprises the United States
and the world by paying the SIS, 900
indemnity lone duc.

DIES MONIES, April 20.-The local

pressed with the notion that the state
board of health can help them in car

ter of fact it cannot. 1t cannot COM

only rely on local health authorities to

fail to do SO, the remedy lies with the

compel the authorities, by mandamus,
to perform their duty. The number
of cases of smallpox in the state now
is said to be greater than in many

The disease is in mild form, and few
deaths have resulted. There are TWEEN

which Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt will
be asked to deliver. Mrs. Roosevelt is

she does not think her Investigations
are too superficial to put them into

ably report some of them at that time.

if this is only an unimportant sklrmish

A Word From the Sultan Would Cause
Trouble in Sulu.


WAsHINGToN, April 21.-There is a
hint in circles acquainted with the
Turkish diplomacy that they see
bulwarlI of protection from the wrath
of the American government. In the
Sulu Islands there are more than g.
500, 600 Mohammedans, whose devotion
to their calipha is almost fanatic. The
sultan would have but to lift his finger
and these Malays and Moros would
join forces with the Tagalogs. The
war in Luzon would be extended in
every direction throughout the island,
and the American forces would neces-
sarily have to be increased many fold
before peace was restored. Notwith-
standing all efforts to set up defensive
propositions, it is believed the Ameri-
can government will drive straight
ahead, and that Turkey will be forced
to pay or have "a white squadron in the

the only items of news that mark the

Darlington will be able to concentrate
his force on the borders of the Trans

ing to rumor in circulation at Lorenzo
Marquee, the Boer force has been sent
to intercept Darlington, but it is not
thought to be of sufficient strength to
cause anxiety. The Natal Mercury is
responsible for renewed fears concern
ing the mines, in printing accounts
from newly arrived refugees saying
elaborate preparations for the destruc-

been carried on under supervision of

President Mckinley has decided that
he would like to have Senator Allison

Senator Allison's term will expire in
1903. At the expiration of term as
president in 1905, Senator Allison
would be &c years old. This would
practically end his cereer. But the
presidency is out of the question with
Allison and it might be that he would
accept the vice presidency to round

citrancy in connection with the in
crease of the custom duties. The
fourth collective note of the ambassa-
doris Directing to an increase of three
per cent in the duties on account of
the bad condition of the Turkish
finances, without a previous under
standing with the powers, was handed
to the Turkish government yesterday,
but Turkey maintained such firm at
titude that the suspicion is growing
that some covert intrigue is frustrat-
ing the effect of the notes.
