The game at National Park yesterday
afternoon between the Y. NJ. c. A and Cor
corcan Cadet teams was won by the for
mer. to 2. and was chiefly interesting on
account of the good pitching Of Walker and
Hamacher. The support given the former
by the association boys was superior to
that behind the latter. and to this weak
fielding OF the soldier boys is attributed the
victory of their opponents. Both twirlers
struck out six men and batted and felded
their positions nicely. The work of Her

maFEKING's HOPE GONE.


Both Relief Forces Checked by the Beers
London, March 23.-The latest news
from Colonel Plumer. who is trying to
relieve Mafeking, reports Boer vic
tory and Colonel Plumer's retreat The
fate of Mafeking is Il source of great
worry to England and its relief seems
almost impossible, as neither Plumer
nor Methuen seems to be able to make
any material advance. Colonel
Plumer's advance guard, under Colonel
BOdle, did not quite reach Pitsani, as
reported, but finding the Beers occu-
pying Pitsani, formed n camp six
miles south OF Labatsi on the 18th.
The Beers attacked him, driving Colo
mel Bodle back upon Lobatsi.
On Friday. the 10th, after an artii-
lery enlargement, Colonel Plumer re-
tired north under cover of darkness
and is now ut the Crocodile POOLS base.
His hospital has been brought back 10
Gaberones.
Crocodile pools Is about ten or twelve
miles north OF Lobatsi, where Colonel
Plumer had his fight Lobatsi is half
way between Gaberones and Ma
feking.
All hope of help for Colonel Baden
Powell from Colonel Plumer's Rhode
sian rough riders is dlssipated by his
retreat since he is where he was re-
ported two months ago. He viii have
his hands full preventing the tearing
up OF the railroad northward, and IL
the Beers are in strong force he may
have hard work to avoid falling into
their hands
Methuen's relief force from Kim
beriey is still held at Fourteen
Streams, 16T miles from Mafeking,
where everybody Is on quarter rations
and the only meat is horsetiesh.
Baden-Powell's chances of rescue now
are looked upon by competent authori-
ties as about one in a hundred. Gen
eral French's cavalry division is in

LOOKS LIKE A GIGANTIC DEAL.
omciaIs of Five Great Railways Hold q
Secret Conference.

Kansas City, March 24.-The recent
rumors OF big railroad consolidation
involving the Union Pacific, the Chi
cago & Alton. the Illinois Central and
the Kansas City Southern, the latter
road being the reorganized Kansas
City, Pittsburg x Gulf, We're revived
here to-day. when it became known
that high officials of all these lines
were holding a secret conference in
Kansas City.
Among those participating in the
conference We're S. II. FELTON,, presi-
dent of the Chicago Il Alton; Horace
G. Burt, president of the Union Pa
ciic; E. II. Hartman, president of the
Oregon Short Line and director in the
Union Pacific, the Chicago & Alton
and the Illinois Central, and one of the
controlling spirits in the management
of the Kansas Clty Southern.
The stories of n pending consolida-
ton are denied but among railroad
men not directly interested the proba-
bility of such a combine is much dis
cussed. Especial stress Is laid upon
the fact tnat the same capitalists are
largely interested In all the properties
and that the Union Pacific and the
Chicago & Alton are already working
under close traffic relations.

THE KENTUCKY PLOT.
Wharton Golden duplicates Number of
Leading Republicans

Frankfort, KY. March 25.-"John

This statement was made yesterday
by Wharton Golden, frail, consump-
i've looking Kentucky mountaineer,
while on the witness stand in the pre-
llminary examination of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with con-
splracy to kill Goebel.
Golden told a story of the events
leading up TO the murder that. If sub
sthntiated, Will, in the minds of those
connected with the prosecution at
least, probably go far toward proving
the contentious of the commonwealth
that the murder was the result of a
plan in which several prominent men
were involved.
Frankfort, March 25.-whether the
defense will seek TO Impeach Golden's
testimony in this preliminary examina-
uon Is not known, as the attorneys for
the defense will not talk on the sub
Ject, but unless such attempt is made,
the commonwealth will rest its case,
both County Attorney POlsgrove and
Attorney Campbell being satisfied that
enough evidence has been presented TO
mold the defendant on the charges.
Golden, who claims TO have been n
friend of Secretary Powers and his
brother, John Powers. for years, gave
testimony that was particularly dam
aging TO John Powers but he also
brought in the names of many others,
including Charles Finley, w. Fl. Cul-
ton and Governor Taylor, in his story
OF the bringing OF the mountaineers
to Frankfort previous to the assassin
alton Governor Taylor however, was
not directly implicated. and the at

mated to-day that they do not expect
to have his name brought forth prom
