Senators Reopen Battle in the
West Today.
MANAGER LOFTUS BUSY

AND MAY GET OTHERS.
Records Smashed at Saratoga-New
Foot Ball Rules-Western
Golf Tourney.

After lounging around the city all day
yesterday, some sightseeing and others at
their hotel, the Senators left Washington
last night on the $50 train for Cleveland.
The team should have reached Cleveland at
noon today, where it opens series of three
games with the Blues.
The present trip of the Washington club
will undoubtedly be the hardest of the
season, and the victories will be few and
far between. When the Senators went west
the latter part of July their playing at
home warranted the prediction that they
would at least win half of their games.
On this trip nothing is asked for, as the
road will be uphill and rocky all the way.
Twenty-Five games will be played by the
Senators before they return home, the one
extra game being with Chicago, which was
knocked out by rain on the last trip. OF
this number the Senators will be lucky to
win five. and even these small figures are
liberal when the opposition is taken into
consideration. The Cleveland people want

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
Liguria and Peconic Run Together In
New York Harbor.

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: In broad daylight a collision which
might have resulted in dreadful calamity
occurred in New York harbor this afternoon
between an incoming passenger liner and an
outbound freight steamer.
The steamship Liguria Of the Italian Roy
al Mail Steamship Company, with over 100
persons on board, was run down in the Mar
rows by the British steamer Peconio of the
Mediterranean and New York Steamship
Company. bound out for ports in the Medi-
terranean. A succession of whistle blasts.
just how blown could not be learned, was
followed by a tremendous crash and the
Peconic's bow smashed into the hull of the
Lguria just forward of the foremast
The Italian liners hull was cut to the
waters edge and water poured into the
aperature The Peconic, as she drifted
away, scraped the white hull of the Liguria
and carried away the companion ladder.
The bow Of the Peconic on the port side
was stove in and the stem turned to star
board
On board the liner all was confusion for
few minutes. but Capt. Montana restored
order promptly and forced the steerage pas
sengers over to the starboard side In order
to bring the hole cut by the Peconic above
the water. This effort was so successful
that very little water entered the liner.
The pilot who brought the Liguria into
port Frank Kramer. was little disposed to-
talk, but said the fault was all with the
Peconic. He said the Liguria was coming
along slowly toward the Narrows. The Pc
comic and the British steamer Antilia, bound
out for Nassau, were steaming to sea a
short distance apart when the Peconic blew
two whistles and then changed the signals
The Liguria sheered to starboard and then
back at full speed. The impact came with
terrific force, the sound being heard on the
shore.
The Peconic was so damaged that she re-
turned for repairs. The Liguria, after the
inspection Of passengers at quarantine, pro-
ceeded to her dock.
On board the Italian liner were twenty
one saloon, twenty-nine second cabin and
965 steerage passengers. Among the saloon
passengers was Father Rodriguez, general
of the AuguStinians.

GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTs.
Six Fast Heats and No Decision in
$4,000 Race.


Sensations continue to develop at the
grand circuit meeting at Narragansett
Park, Providence, r. l., and II the present
pace lasts, Dan Patch will probably break
the worlds record next Friday.
1t was the Roger Williams $40. 200 trotting
stake yesterday that smashed all prece-
dent.
The race is still unfinished, with five
heat winners, and all have broken their
records. Many horsemen say 1t is the
grandest harness contest they ever saw.
The first four heats all broke the stake
record Of 2.O9h. and the slowest tied the
record Of the fastest horse in the race.
About 10000 persons were loath to leave
when darkness necessitated postponement
1t was governors day. and Gov. Kimbau
saw the races from box in the grand
stand. He was attended by his staff in uni
form.
Scott Hudson's blind horse Rhythmic
2.O9A. was picked to win the rich purse
but after reducing his record to 2O8A the
brown stallion has only one heat in six
Dulce Cor, Roy Miller's brown mare, has
won two heats and got a mark of 2.OS1sa
the new stake record. Alice Carr won the
first heat In 2.09k, new record for her.
Rhythmic came third, and then won the
second heat in 2OSA, his new record. The
third heat went to Wentworth, who tied
his mark of 2.09A. Dulce Cor won the
fourth heat in the best time, 2.OS1a. Then
Nutbearer, the Hubinger geldlng, took the
fifth heat, reducing his record from 213h
to 210Z.
1t was killing race Five heat winners
started in the sixth heat, and the race
was between Wentworth and Nutbearer
but both horses broke in the stretch and
Dulce Cor won from third position

MINDANAO SHAKES.
Twenty Moros Killed in Earthquake
Disaster.

The first serious earthquake in the Philip
pines was reported to the War Department
yesterday by General Chaffee. His cable
gram states that series of shocks were
felt on the Island of Mindanao, and that
twenty Moros were killed by falling walls.
The Americans In the vicinity escaped,
and the dispatch says there were no re-
ports that any of the soldiers occupying
that portion Of the island affected sustained
any injuries.
The upheaval occurred in the country ad-
jacent to the Lake of Lanao. in the Moro
section of the island, near Camp Vickers,
which is now the headquarters Of the
American forces stationed in Mindanao
General Chaffee's cablegram says the noun
tains and rivers and other streams were
considerably disturbed and much damage
was done. The extent of the damage how
ever, was not reported. 1t is presumed here
that the seismic shocks occurred about five
days ago, though the date is not mentioned
in the dispatch.
This is the first serious earthquake re-
ported from that country during American
occupation of the Philippines. The most
important previous seismic disturbance in
Mindanao was the one that partly destroy
ed Palak, Kota-batu and the village on the
banks Of the River Mndanao in 1872 This
phenomenon closely followed the eruption
of the volcano of Makaturin.
General Chaffee also cabled that the mill
tary situation In that section remains quiet
and unchanged. No attacks have been
made on the American forces at Camp
Vickers since the last report which was
cabled eight days ago.
The Island of Mindanao Is the southern
most and after Luzon the largest of the
Philippine group. It is about 800 miles
long, and Its estimated area Is SO 200 square
miles. The mountains in the interior of
the country rise to an immense altitude,
and are covered with forests Of teak and
other trees Of gigantic growth. There are
numerous volcanoes throughout the island
many Of which are in a perpetual state of
ignition.
The island is mostly inhabited by Papuan
negroes. and there is also an Independent
colony of Malays, who are ruled by the Sui
tan of Mindanao. The attitude of the in
habitants of the island toward American
occupation has been generally hostile and
on several occasions attacks have been
made on United States troops. This fact
was recently emphasized by General Chat
fee in a report to the War Department,
with the result that orders were given him
to organize a campaign against the hostile
tribes. This will be undertaken as soon as
possible.
The War Department has been advised
by cable from General Chaffee of severe
earthquake shocks in the vicinity Of Lake
Lanao, August p, stables and piles Of
stores being thrown down at Camp Wears
1t is reported that twenty Moros were
killed at Turbaron by falling houses
Mountains and streams are damaged
Roads are not affected. No attack on Camp
Wears has been made by Moros since Au-

A Monster Topaz.
From the London Leader.

FROM tne LONDON Leader.
An interesting story of a valuable topaz,
now In the possession of Signor Nicola
Carelli. comes from Naples. The topaz,
which Signor Carelli brought back from
Brazil some years ago. is so large that II
is said to weigh over two pounds. A Nea-
politan artist. seeing the stone. begged to
be allowed to engrave the figure of Christ
on 1t In cameo. The work is now finished,
and Signor Carelli has been looking for a
purchaser. The value of the jewel is. how
ever so great that even the pope himself
to whom it was offered, could not afford to
buy it. Finally (says the ItaIie) a commit
tee has been formed at Naples with the
purpose of buying the Jewel from its pres
ent owner by public subscription, and Of
fering 1t to Leo XIII as jubilee present
1t is to be hoped, therefore. that this WON
derful treasure will be seen by visitors to
the Vatican Museum. Signor Carelli de-
clares that there is no other such stone I'm

BRAZILIAN AvoCADoS.
Increasing Popularity of the Alligator
Pear
From the New York Evening Post.


From the New York Evening Post
The Increasing popularity of the avocado.
CT alligator pear. has brought the Brazil
ian variety into great prominence Of late.
AS a matter of fact, the fruit is not pear
at all, but belongs to the laurel family
The chief authority on the subject is a
picturesque West Indian who imports these
exotic dainties, and who is enthusiast
on the subject.
THE avocado" he said ''is food and
medicine, as well as refreshment. When
nature made it she intended it as the high
est development of the vegetable world. Ii
is delicious but not cloying. 1t has it's
own characteristics, but will gratefully ac-
cept all other favors. For this reason It
is the only fruit which can be eaten plain,
with pepper and salt, with lemon Juice and
sugar. with sherry or madeira wine or
with a salad dressing. New Englanders
have made it into A successful pie, which,
to be candid, do not recommend, because
L think pies are barbarous; and Brazilian
cooks convert into a marvellous custard
pudding. The peculiarity Of the pulp is
that 1t contains a large amount of fixed OIL
which gives it a nutritive value superior
to the olive and the peanut and makes it
almost equal to the egg.
Though stranger In New York, II Is
known and loved in every tropical and sub
tropical city. 1t is grown In the West
Indies, Central and South America, Hawaii.
the FAR east, northern, eastern and west
ern Africa. Some enterprsing Frenchmen
have a small orchard not far from Palm
Beach on the Florida coast. and in southern
California there are hundreds of trees now
bearing. The finest variety is not the Mex
ican or Venezuelan, or even the Chinese, as
is claimed by travellers. but the Brazilian,
and of these the very best come from the
Island of MaraJo, at the mouth of the ANA
zon, just opposite to Para. The fruit is of
lustrous, almost vitreous green. The skin
Is very tough. rather than hard, so much SO
that 1t should be cut with a sharp steel

Major Sylvester. as game warden and
chief Of police, has sJseenfto the strict en-
forcement of the law and1no complaints of
violations have been made The police and
deputy game wardens have been on the
lookout, and it is probably due to their
strict watch that gunners have not COM
menced shooting before the opening of the
season.
Members of clubs whose houses are on
the Patuxent river are making preparations
to go to their headquarters Sunday night in
order to get out on the big marsh by day
break. The wild oats are in fine condi-
ton and a good season Is anticipated, al
though reed birds are not 50 plentiful as
the sportsmen had anticipated Blackbirds
and ortolan are more plentiful than usual,
the sportsmen report, and there are also a
great many sage hens on the marshes,
1t is stated that good skiffs are scarce,
and many Of those who neglect to make
preparations before the opening of the sea-
son will have to do some wading while
shooting birds.

Coronation Lunches.

From the London Daily Graphic
The sandwiches with which the peeresses
fortified themselves during their long walt
in the abbey last Saturday were worthy
of the occasion. Twelve little squares of
chicken cream were packed into an ex-
tremely pretty box ornamented with the
silyered monogram ''E. r." The variety
of silver and gold topped TASKS used by
both peers and peeresses was worthy of
notice, though the surreptitious manner In
which these TASKS were conveyed to the
mouth rendered observation of them diff
cult As general rule the gentlemen held
theirs as well as they could in the hollov
of their hands, while the ladies covered
them UP far more effectually In dainty lit
tie pocket handkerchief

which non-commissioned officers must pass
before. not after, attaining their rank.
There is touch of humor in the permis-
sion accorded by the authorities to these
backward" officers to employ the regt-
mental schoolmaster to teach them the
rudiments of knowledge-at their own ex-
pense. For one hour daily they are to pay
their instructors six rupees (Ss) a week.
Officers who fail to pass the elementary
examination will be liable to be turned
away from the garrison classes ''as having
insufficient educational knowledge to ena-
Bile them to learn their military subjects
