McCord Knocked Out.

Johnny McCord, who has signed
in faster company, went in out of his
turn, after having pitched Sunday to
give Davenport another victory
before he departed. His pitching did

doubtedIy did. Three hits were
made off him in the second and
three more in the third. and although
they Melted only one run. it was
plain that Johnny's mystery had
been solved, so when Schiller, Rock
Islands new third baseman, dropped
a little bunt down in front of him
and beat it out, he took himself off
the field and Stauffer. who pitched
the morning game, went in
There was big crowd, filling all
the seats and most of the available
space about the corners and edges,
and Rock Island was well represent
ed. The roofing from the Davenport
side was tremendous and undoubted-
ly had something to do in getting
the winning run in the eighth.
There were few sensational plays,
but both sides fielded well. On gen
eral points Rock Island exceIled,
and their stick work ought to have
won. Schiller, the new third base
man, was given a try-out, calculated
to test the metal of an amateur and
he came up to every expectation,
getting hit and accepting five
chances without an error.

A Bad Start.

n
Things looked bad for Rock ISL
and in the first inning, and although
the outcome was not as bad as it
threatened to be, that is where
Davenport won. Ruby flew to DON
nelly and then Smith singled and
Mil placed a two-bagger out in left
field, bringing in the run. Graham's
error gave Crockett an existence, and
Kings base on balls filed the sacks.
Then the wedding out began. Alper-
man died on a fly to Donnelly, Mill
scoring, and Fuchs grounded
Three clean hits in the third failed
TO net Rock Island a run, all three
men dying on bases. In the third
three hits. and sacrifice brought
only one. Miller hit, was sacrificed
by Donnelly and took third on
wild pitch Then he scored ON a hit
by Graham. Wright also hit, but
Wilkinson and Williams were out
The score was tied in the eighth.
Graham went to his doom on a
grounder and Wright took second base
on an error by Smith in center that
really gave the runner a license to
another. Wilkinson hit and there
was no score, but Williams came to
the rescue and Wright came in. The
next two men died easily.
The Critical Point.
With the score tied the rooters
awoke and the grand stand and
bleechers trembIed with the roar.
Davenport came up to get back the
lead and did it. Smith died on
bounder to Schiller. but Mil hit and
stole base. Crockett put one
down between Schiller and Graham
that was the formers territory.
He relied upon Graham to get it,
however. and ran to cover his base.
Graham could not reach it and the
ball went out to Wilkinson. The lat
ter picked il up, and with apparently
plenty of time to head off Mill at the
plate, he threw to second. That
settled it, for although the side was
retired on double the next moment,
the mischief had been, done. Rock

HE DEFIES The BISHOPS
DIR. THOMAS RICHEY DECLINES TO
RESIGN HIS PROFESSIONALISM.
Rector Derstow, of Lafayette, to Fill
the Chair of Pastoral Theology
at an Episcopal Seminary.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Bishop Worthing-
ton, of Nebraska. Bishop Doane. OF Albany,
n. Y, the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix. of Trinity
Church, this city, Dean Hoffman,. Bishop
seymour of Springfield. H.. and thirty
other bishops and prominent dignitaries Of
the Episcopal Church, forming the board Of
trustees of the General Theological Semi
nary, met in the seminary to-day. The prin-
cipal subject discussed was the case of DIR.
Thomas Richey, professor of ecclesiastical
history.
Some time ago the board formulated
charges against DR.. Richey, the principal
ones being that he was too old and infrm
for the position and had not occupied the
chair for weeks at a time. These charges
were formulated after the doctor had re-
fused to resign. 1t seems, however. that
by the terms on which he took the chair,
the trustees have not full power TO make
him vacate the Office and he AYERS, in a
letter read to-day, that he is fully capable
of attending to his duties, and has not
been absent so frequently as TO impair his
usefulness. He has occupied the chair for
more than twenty-five years. The trustees
to-day were unable to unseat DR.. Richey,
so adjourned after unanimously requesting
him to resign before Sept 1 on a pension OF
half his salary, which is $1,000. The doctor
saws he has no intention Of resigning. He
was not at to-day's meeting. being Ill at
home. DR.. Richey is seventy years of age.
The Rev. Herbert NJ. Derstow. rector or
St. Johns Church.. Lafayette. Ind, was
elected professor Of pastoral theology OF
the seminary. He was nominated by Bishop
Hall. of Vermont. and seconded by Bishop
Doane, of Albany. DIR. Derstow was born
i'm Lynn. Mass, and was graduated from
Yale In 1873.

HE is STUDYING THE SITUATION IN
THE ISLAND OF M~INDANAO.
Says There VIII Be No Further HostiI-
tiles Unless Provoked by the
Datos-A Pretty Place.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Under order
of May II General Chaffee has made the
following report to the War Department of
the progress of the negotiations with the
dattos in Mindanao:
Been here the past three days study
ing the situation with Brigadier General
George w. Davis. Think two battalions
should remain if they can be supplied. The
Genasi trail is very difficult, but another
trail promises much better. Think with
drawal from lake would seriously jeopar-
die the safety of the weaker dattos. who
would have given friendly assistance, but
believe that if we remain the more powerful
dattOs will come in when it is apparent our
mission is friendly. From present indica-
lions further hostilities will not be neces-
sary unless provoked by MOros. Bayan
caused much establishment. Was an ex-
tremely necessarily wholesome lesson,
which L do not think will have to be re-
peated. Some dattOs are suspicious and on
the defensive. Lake country is beautiful
and more suitable for the occupancy of
Americans than any part of the archipel-
ago. Elevation. soil and climate are per-
feet, comparing favorably with any valley
of the AlleghenieS."

Archie McEachern Thrown Against q
Board and His JuguIar Vein Cut.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., May 1S.-Archie
McEachern, the champion BIZ
cycle rider of Toronto, Ont, while being
paced by a motor tandem this evening at
the Coliseum track met with an accident
which resulted in his death twenty min
utes later. The accident was the result of
the breaking of the chain on the motor
cycle. Riding the tandem were ALT Boake
and Robert B. Thompson, who have raced
with McEachern for ten years past. The
effort was to establish a new mile record.
The several miles had been covered when
the chain broke, and in the sudden slowing
up of the damaged tandem McEachern col
lided with il and shot in the air like a
rocket. His head struck against a project
ing board, which cut a cash in his neck,
from which blood spurred in a stream. The
jugular vein had been torn open. He ex-
pired shortly after his removal to a hos
pital. Boake and Thompson were unin-
jured.

MR.. STEWARDS WARNING
DEMOCRATS WILL GAIN NOTHING BY
ATTACKING THE ARMY.
Speech by the Nevada Senator on the
Philippine Bill Dis
cussed in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-An additional
appropriation of $500, 600 was made by the
Senate to-day for the stricken people of
the French West Indies, in accordance with
the recommendation of the President that
$500, 900 be appropriated. The agricultural
appropriation bill was passed, and then Mr..
Stewart, in supporting the Philippine bill,
warned the minority that no political gain
would accrue to them from their attack
on the army. The American people, he
said, always had supported the army and
always would. He declared that for us to
now take down the American flag in the
Philippines would be a national disgrace.
While discussing the proposed coinage of
the silver dollar for the Philippines, Mr..
Stewart declared that the silver question
in this country was dead, at least for the
present, on account of the large output of
gold.
Mr.. TiIIman inquired of Mr.. Stewart why
it was intended to give the Philippines the
silver dollar proposed in the bill to be
coined.
MIR. Stewart said that for time imme-
mortal the Mexican dollar had been used
as a standard in the Philippines. The
pending bill simply provided the Filipinos
with a stable currency of a inc they had
been accustomed 70.
Mr.. Tillman twitted Mr.. Stewart with a
change of his views on the silver question.
The Nevada senator warmly denied the i'm
putation. intimating that Mr.. Tillman could
not understand the he had made.
His views, he said, had not changed. For
the present, at least, the silver question
was dead, because the enormous output
Of gold had made good times. If the Phil
ippines were a great manufacturing coun-
try, he said, he should hesitate to give
them the coinage provision inserted in the
pending bill, but in the circumstances 1t
was the proper thing TO do.
Mr.. Lodge explained that the Philippines
committee in inserting the free coinage pro-
vision in the bill had made no change in
the monetary standard of the Stands. That
standard was silver. the Mexican dollar
need OF a subsidiary coinage. All that was
attempted by the pending bill was to sub
stitute a dollar coined by this government
for the Mexican dollars now in use. The
committee believed the proposed dollar
would perform the same good office for our
own commerce as the Bombay dollar per
formed for English commerce.

terested in Cuban sugar growing, was be-
fore the Senate on relations with
Cuba to-day. He asserted that the sugar
growers would be the benehciaries of any
reduction that would be made in the duty
by the United States. He said the retiners
could not control the price and the sugar
mill owners would not benefit from the re-
duction. except in cases where they owned
the lands. He showed that many Amer
leans owned sugar lands in Cuba, but de-
clared that few options were now accepted
BY Cubans because they wanted to make
sales outright If at all. He said sugar
growing had not been profitable of late
years because of the low price of the prod
uct and the high price of labor, working
men receiving a dollar a day, gold. He
discussed at some length the possibilities of
sugar production in Cuba. Senator Platt
read a letter from General Wood, giving
the last sugar crop of 1900 tons instead of
$4,000 tons. according to a previous esti-
mate. OF this amount 100, 900 tons had been
shipped from Cuba.
