THE SCORE RAN HIGH.

On Wednesday afternoon, the clerks and the "never-sweats" came togeth- CT on the diamond in Chastain's addi- tion, and the result does not reflect either credit or glory upon the former, for though very loose and ragged game of ball was played by the oppos- ing nine, they were easily defeated.
 The score was 30 to 22, which for a seven inning game is running the fig ures rather high. Any kind of a ball was good for first and the errors of felders made earned runs scarce article.
 c. w. True umpired the game, which was witnessed by very small crowd of spectators.

JUNE PURCHASE MADE.

The purchasing committed of the Ladies Twentieth Century club met at the home of Mrs.W. A. Billingsley on Saturday afternooh,>a1~t the members being present, who are Mesdames w. w. Dutton, president, J. P. German, Charles Wilmans, R. M. Johnson and w. A. Billingsley.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

There will be meeting of the citi- zens at the city hall Friday evening at eight o'clock to arrange for celebrat- ing the Fourth of July at Newport. Every business man is requested to be present.
 Such is the call as furnished by a number of business men, who desire that preparations for a celebration of the Fourth be at once taken in hand and given the backing, the project de- serves. They appreciate the fact that without celebration of our own, the people go elsewhere to spend the day and their money, while on the other hand, good subscription will enable Newport not only to retain her own people but bring to this city a large volume of outside business.
 Then again the manifestation of pub lie spirit is to be desired. Newport should advertise herself and make the trade section contiguous proud of its market center.

THE DEAD QUEEN.

London, March S.-The period of full mourning for the late Queen Victoria expired today, so far as the general public is concerned, and as a conse- quence the cloth goods manufactur- CTS and merchants are looking for ward with pleasure to a revival in their business, which has remained al most at 'standstill since the queens s death. Had the period of national mourning been prolonged beyond this date it would have resulted in wide spread injury to the colored goods trade for the coming spring and sum mer. West End merchants especially are grateful to the king for thoughtful consideration in curtailing the period of national mourning.

 STILL HALE AND HEARTY. In yesterday mornings issue there was a lengthy story about the notable visi- tors to this city, among whom was General Wesley Merritt, retired. In mentioning him he was referred to as retired on account of age and in-rn- ity." His friends made the unfortu- nate expression the groundwork for many jokes yesterday, to which he could hardly reconcile himself, and he announced that he could whip the whole reportoral staff of The Republi- can, which is no doubt the truth. He was retired by reason of having served in the United States army his allotted number of years, but he announces that he Is by no means infirm, and does not propose to be for a long time yet. His valiant service in the Philip pines is too recent for contradiction of his position, and The Republican s.aif takes it's hat off to him.

UNCLE SAM REFUSES.
Disspproves Joint Guarantee Of Chinese In
demnity-Foreisn Powers Notified.

Washington, June 12.-The govern.
ment has formally communicated te
the foreign powers the impossibility
of joining in joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity.
The difficulties in the way Of such an
arrangement are set forth in the COM
munication, particularly those relat
ing to the constitutional restrictions
on the president in making joint Of
this character.
In view Of the determination OF
the United States not to be party
to the joint guaranty there is anxiety
shown in diplomatic circles as the
outcome on the question of in.
IDENTITIES. One view is that the ma
jority OF the powers being favorable
to a joint guaranty will execute this
Joint instrument and thereafter carry
on a concert of their own. In that
event, it is said, the United States
would arrange directly with China as
to the major portion of the indem-
nifty. The representatives Of most OF
the European powers do not believe
that resort to The Hague tribunal
proposed by the United States will be
acceptable to their governments.

Provincial Government Has Been Established

General Taft told the people that
if no power were given to levy GUS
toms, the expenses OF the central gov.
eminent would be paid by additional
internal taxes. He pointed out also
that if the decision OF the authorities
at Washington should result in free
trade with the United States, opening
up such great market, the increase II
land values would enable the Poop
to respond to the increased intern"
taxes. The northern tour has been
postponed.
The American astronomical COM

and will sail shortly for home.
Lieutenant Wray's command has

captures are reported from other parts

however, at the japanese legation
that when Japan is absolutely certain
