Memphis. July 7.-(Special) )-Memphis the Birmingham team, but for an error by Veitch in the first and another excus- able tumble in the forth by the same player not a Memphis runner would have reached the home plate.
 Tommy Gillen was in the same form that enabled him to shut ont Little Rock last week and was backed up today Tn great style, the errors of Vei:ch except ed. Sam LaRocque cut quite a figure in the run-making. Although he never was able to connect with the plate himself, his opportune batting sent In five of the twelve runs credited to his team. La Rocque gauged Kern for four clean-cut singles, and when the remaining Birming- ham players commenced to follow the pace set by LaRocque, Kern was called off the grass and Shields was substituted All pitchers looked alike, however, to- day to the Alabamians, and during the two innings that Shields pitched five runs were added.
 Birmingham started scoring in the first. Moss was thrown ont at firs7. Martin secured his base on balls, McDevitt fol- lowed With an out dl put Neitch "siS more successful and sent a gronnder which Valdois fumbled LaRocQue then began his bombarding act and scored Martin with a smashing single 10 left; | Gettinger did likewise and Veitch scored. | Kalkhoff's base on balls, Gillen's lit and McGraw's error of Martins grounder all lowed two more in the fourtb.

will affect any of the vital features of the agreements.
 It Is the understanding at the State De- pertinent that the delay in signing the protocol at Pekin is probably due to the difficulty of adjusting the tariff on an ad valorem instead of specific basis, and also in arranging the details for the county operation of the military branch in the restrictions on the importation of firearms Our government has received representations made by Pacific coast commercial bodies, saying that the pro posed per cent duty on gold basis will work serious hardship on our trade in flour going to the Orient.

Chicago, August 7.-"No more corn pools for me- said George H. Phillips to- day 'I knew that I was standing over a can of gun powder all the time, and it was only by the merest chance that I escaped total annihilation.
