TIM DEAD.
Famous BASEBALL Catcher Dies In
Taunton, Mass.

Taunton, Mass, Jun 16.-Tlmothy Dom
ahue, the noted baseball catcher, died at
his home In this city today.
Tim Donahue had a varied career for
the last few years, changing from the
Western l~eague-where he had gone on
being released by Jim Hart-to the Wash
ington American league team. He had
been sick for some time, the belief being
expressed that he had tuberculosis OF the
lungs. He was late In reporting and
while unable TO play he believed until a
short time ago that he would be able to
get I'm the game In a few days. When the
Senators went west last week Tin was
left In the east TO try to recuperate. He
went from Washington to Taunton, his
old home.
Donahue was practically developed by
Jimmy Manning, for whose Kansas City
Western league team he caught. IL was
during this season that Tim made n rec
ord seldom equaled by a backstop OF
catching every scheduled game on Man
ning's list, something like l2O games, with
out "a break. Tim went TO Chicago at the
time Kittridge was In his prime and for
a season or two was not intrusted with the
stars of the Griffith type. Gradually Tim
passed the old star and usurped his hon
ors, and men like Griffith and Callahan
preferred him to the others. His ability
to handle any kind OF a ball, his utter
fearlessness Of the spikes and a good
throwing arm made hin one OF the really
good catchers of the then big league. He
was good when Chicago let him go, In
ternal troubles In the club calling for the
release Of many of Its former stars. He
went to the Western league along with
Jimmy Ryan and was part owner OF the
Colorado Springs team. lie had trouble
with his partner and a split came and
Tin retArned 10 Chicago. He had several
offers AID was reported to BIO In shape and
Tom LOTUS signed him for his Washing
ton team. Tim was not In the best of
health at the time, however, and his ILL.,
ness grew until II was said LOTUS would
soon be compelled TO release him.
Tim bore many a nickname In the big
league, such as Bridget, IT" Tim and
others. His make them be over from
the catching line. his garrulousness and
talk made him a character that will
not be forgotten In baseball circles soon.

Sioux Falls, s. d., June 16.-In ac-

tariff which so far as II goes meets the
approval OF the jobbers and business
men OF Sioux Falls.
President Jones OF the Jobbers' assoc
citation, states hat while the new tarin
Is satisfactory and comedies one OF the
claims OF the local jobbers' association,
the principal discrimination which the
association brought TO the attention OF
Fred Rogers OF Sioux City, general
freight agent of the Great Northern,
and which Is in reality the foundation
for the suit before the interstate COM
merce commission for which the asso-
citation is preparing, is not covered by
the concession just made by the COM
pany
The chief objection is to the tariff
from Sioux City TO Yankton, a tariff
under which the Great Northern, after
reaching Sioux Falls, charges less
less as II proceeds toward Yankton,
thus giving the more remote towns q
less rate than those closer to Sioux City.
The Jobbers OF Sioux Falls confidently
expect that their proposed suit against
the company before the interstate COM
merCe commission Will be held In abey-
ance for a few days.
The new tariff covers the line from
Sioux Falls through GaTretson to towns
In Iowa as far as Perkins.

NEW AIMS OF eoERs.
Do Not Wish 20 Make q Second Ire
land Of South Africa.

London, June 16.-"I observe that
even C-ommandant Kemp, who opposed
acceptance OF the British terms TO the
last, now s~urrenders and has stated
that the terms are satisfactory to the
Beers" said an official OF the British
colonial office. I'm the light OF such
instances he continued, what be-
comes OF the predictions OF Morley.
Stead and Courtney that the burghers
would cherish hatred TO h British
government and attempt to overthrow
II at some future time.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial min
lister, like every other member OF the
cabinet. regards such prophecies as the
children OF morbid imaginations and
believes South Africa will rapidly de-
velop into a great loyal section of the
empire. While the British have not
scored n brilliant success In killing
Irish discomfort by kindness. they fully
expect TO kill Boer prejudice and dis
loyalty in that manner. The Irish and
the Beers are made of wholly different
stuff. The Irish love agitation and
warfare: the Doors appreciate good
government and love peace"
When the foregoing statement was
submitted TO q prominent Afrikander
and British subject who Is temporarily
resident at the National Liberal club
he said: your colonial office official
does not place a very enlightened con-
struction on Kemp's surrender and his
expression OF satisfaction at the peace
terms. Downing streets inability TO un-
derstand the Boer before the war seems
TO persist I'm all It's destiny. So long as
the Boer depended for their salvation on
military expedients OF war. The mo-
ment they decided that military resist
ance was no longer pen to them and
that any fate was better than extermin-
alton they adopted the measures and
OF peace.
"Kemp's expression OF good feeling
and similar expressions on the part OF
oil the Boer leaders, as well as the rank
and file, do not mean hat they have
suddenly purged their hearts OF anti
British sentiment and their minds OF
the memories OF burnt homes and ex-
terminated families. The Beers are q
wise and perfectly self-regulated peo-
pie. They have given up their rifles to
engage In q warfare OF political, social
and moral qualities. They have faith
In the survival OF the fttest. They know
hat their interests under these circum-
stances vii! be best conserved by as
.siduously refraining from speech and
action likely TO engender British dis
trust and cause the British to continue
the use OF military power against the
Beers while the Beers have no similar
power wherewith TO retaliate.
"Boer statesmen have no intention OF
following In the footsteps OF Ireland
and thus subjecting themselves TO mill
tary despotism and suffering the loss OF
all opportunity TO work out their Inn
independent destiny"

PEACE IN
State Troops Viii Probably Be With
drawn,

P~awtucket, r. L., June 16.-Action
which the authorities hope means the
beginning of the end of the reign of
violence incident to the street railway
strike vas taken yesterday by High
Sheriff Hunter c.. White removing his
deputy sheriffs from the street cars.
He did this on representations made TO
him that the deputies accomplished no
good purpose, but melted the crowds to
violence.
After the withdrawal of these men
the city became quiet. The 1900 troops
ordered out by Governor .KimbaTl
Thursday are still on duty, but If con-
ditions warrant they will be withdrawn
gradually, the first inStallment to leave
today. There vas no rioting during
yesterday.
The first duty Of the militia, which is
assisting the local authorities to main
tain order in connection with the street
railway strike, was to clear the streets
Of the debris which accumulated duY-
ing the night, or had been placed On
the tracks to hinder the resumption
of traffic.
When this had been done the street
railway company was notified by Gen.
eral ann that the oad was unob-
structed and preparations were made
to send out cars.
Although there were no disturbances
during the night there was no relaxa-
ton of the vigorous measures put in
force. There is a strong feeling con-
fined to one class of citizens against
the deputy sheriffs who have dis
charged firearms during the strike.
This feeling was caused by the shoot
ing yesterday of the Peterson boy. The
feeling towards the militia Is more
friendly.

GENERAL WOOD
DEFENDS. HIMSELF
States That He, as Trustee,
Spent Money Freely but
for Cuba's Good.
NOTHING TO COVER UP
Declares That Mr.. Thurber's Testi-
mony Did Not Prove Anything
Except There Mes Great
Need for RecirrccIty.

Boston, June 16.-During the visit TO
his city yesterday General
Wood, former governor general OF Gu
ba, expressed himself in no uncertain
terms regarding the alleged regularity
In the expenditure of Cuban govern
ment FUNDS In the interests or reel
procity. He declared that, acting as the
trustee of the island. he had spent the
money to good purpose, and a done
simply what any good administrators
would do in like circumstances.
Commenting on President Roosevelt's
special message TO congress on reel
procity with Cuba, General Wood spoke
Of IL in the highest terms.
On the situation in Cuba Gene:al
Wood said:
There is nothing In connection with
my administration of Cuban affairs
that l wish to cover up. Talk OF inves-
tigation is welcome to me. Every eX-
penditure that was made was free and
above board.
so fer as / can see there was moth
ing new brought out by the testimony
of Mr.. ThurbeI. 1t perhaps accentuated
q little the needs OF Cuba as REGARDS
reciprocity with this country.
II was acting as a trustee for Cuba.
/ simply used Mr.. Thurber's mailing
list as the best means OF d~istrlDutlnS
the literature on reciprocity, and this
was well known before the eXamlna-
ton OF Mr.. TEurber by the senate sub
committee. In my opinion the opposi-
ton to the tariff reciprocity with Cuba
has proceeded upon lines of misappre-
hension. L took it upon myself TO place
the facts before the people OF the Unit
ed States as / saw them. Their seemed
to be no one else to undertake the task.
What / did / considered best for the
Industrial salvation of the sland. The
reason l took up with Mr.. Thurber was
that he represented sc, 1000 thinking peo-
pie in this country. / dealt with him
simply as a bureau of information, and
through him l distributed the informa-
ton l wanted to place before the Amer
lean people. My position was Identical
with that of the trustee of an estate
who finds it incumbent upon him to
refute unjust claims upon the estate
upon which he is called to administer.
Any man would be false to his trust
who did not do all in his power TO con-
test such claims, and that is all l did"

MINERS ARE QUIET.
Men Obey Their leaders and Re-
frain From Violence.

WiIkesbarre, Pa, June 16.-For the
first time in a week there was no
demonstration in the vicinity of the Le-
high Valley company's William A col
fiery at Duryea today. The efforts of
the strike leaders TO have the men keep
the peace have been successful, and
there was no gathering of idlers at the
colliery to annoy workmen. The
guards have been kept in the back
ground to avoid a clash, but the at
tempted shooting of teh division super
intendent Wednesday night caused the
company TO change this policy. Last
night and today extra coal n iron
police were sent to the colliery and dis
tributed in conspicuous places. 1t is the
comrany's intention TO take no more
chances of having its employees In
jured. An attempt was made last
night to start up the pumps in the col
lierics of the Susquehanna Coal COM
pany at Nanticoke, but the effort was
spoiled by the engineers quitting work
almost in a body. The lumber of
armed police in that vicinity causes
much uneasiness there.

tendent Simpson with the state board OF

IRRIGATION BILL PASSES
The House Acts on the Measure al
Amended.

Washington. June 16.-The house
yesterday passed the irrigation bill by
q vote of lac to So. Many amendments
were offered, but only one except those
offered by the committee was adopted.
1t was of a minor character. The bill
already has passed the senate. The
friends of the measure greeted the an
nouncement Of its passage with a
round of applause.
The bill as passed creates q reclama-
tion fund from the sale of public lands
in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana. Nebraska, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Wash
lngton and Wyoming, less the amount
paid TO local land offices and 5 per
cent due the state under existing laws
for educational purposes, the reclama-
ton fund to be used for the construc-
ton and maintenance of irrigation
works in the states and territories en-
umerated. Provision is made for the
payment out of the treasury of any de-
fciencies in the allowances to agricul-
tural colleges owing to this disposition
of public lands. The secretary of the
interior is authorized to examine, sur
vey and construct irrigation works and
report the cost thereof to congress at
each session.
Section 4 provides for the letting Of
contracts for the works contemplated
In sections when the necessary funds
are available in the reclamation fund
for such section.
Section 5 provides hat "no right to
the Use Of water for land in private
ownership shall be sold for a tract eX-
ceeding 100 acres to amy one land
owner, and no such right shall perma-
nently attach until all payments there
for are made, and no such sale shall be
made to any land owner unless he be
an actual bona fide resident on such
land or occupant thereof residing In
the neighborhood of said land"
Section 6 authorizes the secretary to
use reclamation funds for the opera
ton and maintenance OF the irrigation
works.
Section s requires state control over
waters of ~non-navigable streams such
as are used in irrigation.
