auction this afternoon. at the mart. this
city, and was bought in for G45, 900, after a
dramatic scene caused by a false bid OF
$4,000, which was the reserve price.
The bidding opened with an offer OF ESQ.,

eer. No other bid was heard and Auctioneer
Lumley declared Madame PATHS castle
sold at that figure. simultaneously the bid
der rushed up and told Mr.. Lumley he had
not meant his offer to be taken seriously.
Long conferences followed. Mr.. Lumley
went out and consulted Sir George Lewis.
the well-known lawyer Excitement reigned
throughout the auction room. The bidder,
who was very pale, remained in his seat,
perspiring, with the eyes of all present
upon him. Sir George Lewis said that no
proceedings would be taken and Mr.. Lum-
ley reopened the sale at 10000. BY thou

agents, to be two-fold. In the first place,

CHURCH BAN ON MASONRY
NO "GOAT RIDERS" WANTED BY THE
SWEDISH LUTHERANS.
Members of Secret Societies De-

Base destinations in the Synod.

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, June 1S.-The Swe-
dish Lutheran Synod to-day defeated a
recommended ton made in the report of the
committee on revision of the constitution
that the clause in the constitution of the
church providing that no member of the
Masonic or other secret or atheistic society
should be entitled 10 membership in the
church or the synod be expunged. The re-
port of the committee was presented by
DIR. Ranseen, the chairman.
Rev. DR.. Fremling, of Vasa, Mimi, was
on his feet in moment after the chairman
of the committee sat down. This is not
a question of practical morality he said.
1T is a question involving faith and doc
trine. Masonry and other secret societies
are offsprings Of deism. They are now es-
sentially deistic; in some cases atheistic,
unionistic and, therefore, unchristian."
Rev. c. e. Ewing of Omaha, Neb.. said
he regarded secret societies as idolatrous.
1.-THE laboring man cannot afford to sup
port both the secret societies and the
church; therefore. we should insist upon
his leaving the lodge. said Rev. L. w.
Gullstrom, of Valley City. n. d.
The discussion grew warmer and more
bitter as it progressed. Rev. Mr.. Lyndson
handed one of the speakers a copy of the
Freemasons Monitor, and the speaker be-
gan to read

from the chair while the house was in the
greatest turmoil. During the excitement
| the Rev. S. @. Swenson said that there
might be those who would cast more than
one ballot. The insinuation was vigorously
resented. and the chair stated that il was
the blacklist libel that had ever been cast
on the members of the Synod. The vote
was taken. however. amid great confusion,
and the chair could with difficulty retain
any kind of order. The result of the ballot
was that the proposed amendment was de-
| feated by a vote of 81 to II, thus leaving
| the Objectionable clause in the church
creed and excluding from membership of
any church within the denomination of
members of any secret society. The Synod

American League
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


MARION, Ind. June 1s.-Indianapolis and
Marion made a new record for the season
this afternoon by playing twelve and one
half innings without a man crossing the
plate. After the local team had played
its half of the thirteenth inning. Umpire
Latham called the game in order that the
teams might get away on o'clock trains.
His action was strongly condemned by the
players and spectators alike. Pfester and
Guese certainly made regulations for them
selves in to-day's contest, for they played
magnificent ball. Both kept their strength
some fatigue in the last half inning.
Though the team work on both sides puld
hardly have been better. the pitchers re-
ceived credit for the quality of the game.
The most costly error. however, was made
by Pfiester in the last half of the twelfth
inning. when he let a pop-up from Flynn
get by him into safe territory and thus
permitted the bases to become crowded.
The fans almost gave UP the game then,
as there was only man out. but the
clever pitcher got down to business and
Hickey, The next man at bat, gave another
infed pickup and Kelley was thrown out
at home. This play followed by a
grounder TO second by Guese, and the bat
ter went down at first. letting the side out.
The spectators almost went wild at this
Smink also did star work behind the bat.

CHINESE SETTLEMENT AND OTHER
PUBLIC MATTERS DISCUSSED.
President Ready to Proclaim Free
Trade with Porto Rico When the
Legislature Takes Action.

WASHINGTON. June 1S.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was without important fea-
ture. There was desultory discussion of the
Chinese settlement, the situation in the
Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico. but moth
ing of moment developed and no action was
decided upon. The President is prepared TO
issue his proclamation declaring the aboli-
ton OF duties between the United States
and Porto Rico. if the insular legislature
at the extraordinary session called for July
4 presents facts to him TO sustain the claim
that the revenues under the Hollander tax
law make the island self-sustaining.
The Cabinet believes that the Chinese
settlement Is close at hand In talking of
this settlement, Secretary Hay suggested
that the amounts voluntarily paid the
American missionaries by Chinese prov
inces should be deducted from our aggre-
gate claim of s25,O00000. The general senti-
ment OF the Cabinet seemed to favor this
course but no action was taken Secretary
Hitchcock reported that a decision of the
courts in the suits To enjoin him from pro-
ceeding with the opening OF the kiowa,
Comanche and Apache reservation In OKLA
homa probably would be rendered in few
days Until the court acts nothing further
will be done.
Secretary Root laid before the Cabinet
a report from Governor General Wood
showing a most satisfactory condition OF
affairs in the island. These related mainly
10 the progress that has been made IN the
matters of municipal government. the
schools. general improvements. sanitation
and bettered condition of the inha bitants
of the island.
SAN JUAN, Il. r.. June 1S.-After a care
full study of the report submitted by j.
IL Hollander. Governor Allen is satisfied
that the present system of insular taxa
ticn produces sufficient revenues for Porto
Ricos needs and that consequently the
island maintains itself without the use OF
customs duties on trade with the United
States Governor Allen has decided TO call
the Porto Rican Assembly in extra session
for the sole purpose of passing a resolution
TO this effect and according TO Section OF
the Foraker law.

Toledo for four games. This will be the
first appearance of Toledo in this city. and,
as the Mud Hens have been playing a
strong game in the last few weeks, they

the Hoosiers. Indianapolis and Marion
played thirteen-inning game yesterday.
and the HOosiers will be in fine fettle TO
meet Toledo to-day. As Shannon is i'll,
Sutthoff will play left, but Hogriever will
be back in the game to-day. Alloway will
