Output Increases.

DENVER, Col, Jan. Sit is practically
An assured thing that the output Of gold
from the Black Hills will be increased at
least one-third for the year 1900. The
past year showed wonderful advance
ment in the treatment of the low grade
ores on the hills by the cyanide process.
which has come into vogue within few
years. Seven new cyanide plants have
been started up in one county. and seven
more are in course of construction. There
are millions of tons of ore in the Black
Hills that carry values too low to treat
by any but the cyanide process. Plans
are being made for five more cyanide
plants in the county, which will make Io
in operation, with total tonnage Of
about 1000 tons.

BOoz Inquiry.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3.-Members
of the congressional committee appointed
to investigate the Booz hazing case gath
cred in this city today preparatory to
proceeding to Bristol, the home of the
dead cadet, where the investigation will
be entirely independent OF that conduct
ed by the military board last week and is
taken, not with special reference to the
Booz case, bnt for the purpose of investi-
eating the general subject of hazing
sufficiently to make an intelligent rec
ommendaton to congress. With this
end in view the case of Cadet Booz will be
sifted to the bottom. All cadets having
knowledge of the case will be required to
give their testimony and in addition the
committee will examine some of the
Young men who were in Booz's class, but
who have failed or left the military
academy for other reasons in order to
procure testimony which is not preju-
diced by the atmosphere of the academy.
After spending day or two at Bristol
the committee proceeds to West Point to
take testimony there.

Washington to be Beautiiied.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 3.-There is
very general expression Of opinion
favorable to the bill introduced in the
house for the providing of an advisory
board of public works for the capital city.
1t is generally felt by the residents here
that the city belongs to the nation, and
that it should be made beauty spot on
which foreign eyes should rest with
interest and favor, and where represen.
tatives coming from all parts of the coun.
try should find city worthy of the vast
domain of the United States. That it
should also act as an object lesson for all
Americans is thought to be very desir-
able. From its situation it can be made
very beautiful, and that is what the
Washington public desire to have done.

gret. Despite the corruption under him.

SMALLPOX In Missouri.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, Jan. 3.-The
State Board of Health held its annual
meeting today. Besides examining a
number of applicants for license, the
Board voted to ask the legislature for
an emergency appropriation for the sup
preston of smallpox in various parts of
the state. For lack Of funds the State
Board has been obliged to turn the mat
ter over to the county courts in the sew
eral counties, and it has not been as we'll
hauled as it should have been on account
of business pressure upon local doctors.

The western invasion gives the most con-

which are marching like the prongs of a

Mamesbury and the other toward Beau

The enemy is now ranging over i'm =.

employment Of an army corps to deal
with them. Lord Kitchener has poured
troops into the disturbed areas, but the
fugitive tactics of the Beers have to a
large extent neutralized his precautions

ing the invaders from the rich districts in

80 percent of the population being re-

damage and ro ,bery by the invaders and
beseeching military assistance. Any ac-

The Senators received a double dose Of
defeat yesterday at Detroit. The Ilgers
continued their good work in the afternoon
and once more the Washingtons had to
"go away back and sit down. the score
being to against them.
Gear and Miller were the opposing pitch
ers and in the matter Of safe hits II
was an even break, both teams obtaining
twelve But the fielding of the Detroits
was what won the day, five double plays
playing havoc with the Senators who had
reached first through hits, but were killed
off through the lightning work of the IL
gers. Elberfeld and Gleason were the CEN
trail figures, the former taking care or M
teen chances without a flaw, while the lat
ter handled all of eleven chances correctly.
The Senators also felded well, two mis-
plays marring their work, but in contrast
with the fast play of the Tigers our repre-
sentatives looked slow. The feature OF the
game, from a Washington point of view,
was a remarkable catch by Foster In lett
field, who had to jam into the crowd to get
| the ball.
The morning victory of the Detroits jol-
| lied up the work of the Wolverines in
great style and they crowded into Bennett
| Park In such large numbers that ground
| rules had to be established, all the long
hits going for only two bases. The differ
ent stands were packed with humanity and
| then the overflow got behind ropes in the
right and left gardens. On the count up it
was found that fully $500 people had pass
ed the turnstileS.
Detroit was the first to break the ice,
getting one run in the first inning on
Holmes single and a twO-bagger by Glea-
son. Two ciphers followed and then the
Tigers scored again in the fourth as a re-
suit of two singles and a long fly and out
to center.
In the fifth the Senators got their first
tallies, a pair and tied the score amid
almost profound silence from the big
crowd. The fun came after two were out
Farrell got four balls and then quickly
stole second, Dungans safe hit sending
him over the plate. Clarke also singled and
two bases on balls forced DUNCAN over the
plate.
In the sixth Detroit chalked up its five
runs and the battle was practically over.
Gear started the trouble with a muff of a
thrown ball from Grady and fusillade of
hits and very clever base running by the
Tigers did the rest. The final out was
humorous piece of work, the ball being
hit to Gear and to make sure Of the out,
the Senator's pitcher carried the ball over
to the initial corner and stepped on the bag
himself.
Washington ran its total up to four by
scoring two runs In the eighth. Foster re-
ceived a pass to first, Coughlin smashed
out double and Gears single sent both
runners over the plate.

of late comes from Baltimore to the effect
that McGraw intends to remain in the

Of eligible players. After q year in tho
smaller leagues several Of these players
were taken back and were different men
thereafter. There was no publishing OF

MIDDLE STATES REGATTA.
Potomacs Finished Last In the Junior
Eight Contest.


Notwithstanding many delays, from Varl-
ous causes. the twelfth annual regatta Oh
the Middle States Regatta Associatlon'
rowed on the Speedway course Harlem
river. New York, yesterday was sans1ac-
tory to the followers of this sport. several
of the finishes were close and exciting es-
neciallv in senior fours and intermediate
doubles
The Malta Boat Club of Philadelphia won
tbe intermediate eight-oared race In hne
stv,e With a stroke that never varied from
start to finish this eight cleverly demon
strated its superiority over the Nonpareli
crew. The Harlem river one-mle recofo
was broken in this race.
In the star feature Of the day, senior
single sculls, C. S. Titus, Union Boat Clup,
New York, won easily. Titus was shre"o
and kept to the Speedway shore, and out OF
the tide, thereby pocketing Budre, the Bo-
hemian sculler MehrhOff, his serious oppo-
nent led until the half, but, with strong
tide against him, he was completely roWed
ont and tainted. He fell out OF his shell
and was picked up by a passing boat.
In the final heat Of the Junior eight the
Potomacs of this city, who 1t was thought
wonld he right in 1t from start to finish, fell
away back and finished last. The strange
course. with it's currents and tide, was too
much of q handicap for the Potomacs ana
was responsible for the crews poor snow
ing. The race was won by the Staten Is
land crew in superior fashion, with the
Wahnetah Of Flushing second.
