MALES WILL STICK
FOR GATE MONEY

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Baseball League held yesterday after
noon at Elks Hall the League Score
tary, Lorrin Andrews. presided in the
absence OF President Henberg. The
members present representing the vari.
Gus teams were: Steere and Carter OF
Punahou. Murphy and Frank Thomp-
son Of the Elks, Lemon and John Wise
of Kamehameha, Fernandez. Kiley, and
White Of the Male Ilimas, and Logan
Of the H. A c. team.
The Committee on Umpires made its
report advising that George Lucas be
selected as the second umpire to take
the place of Newton. Logan of the II.
A. c. team made the motion that the
League have only one umpire for the
rest Of the season. The measure was
not adopted however. and Lucas was
elected umpire. Logan's being the only
dissenting vote.
Secretary Andrews announced that
Mr.. Whitney of the Trustees, in re-
Spouse to the request of the League,
turned over to him $3.50 TO be used in
paying bills up TO the present date
The money was a trifle more than half
0f what the League is entitled to. The
gate receipts to date amount to $500
Lucas of the Male lima team stated
that Fred Kiley, the present Captain
Of the Male team, had resigned, and
hat Bob" White had been elected |
Captain in his place. He further asked |
Ill the games to the end Of the season |
turing the first period of the afternoon, |
which begins at 1870 p. NJ. The team |
ioes not desire to leave the League for
everal reasons, the principal one being |
hat they do not want to lose the gate
eceipts from now until the end of the |
Ieason, which they would do if they
hould withdraw from the running.
The Males would have played four
more games during the last period with
he Punahou and H. A. c. teams, and |
fter some discussion it was voted that
he Males play all their games during
he first period. This is done in view
f the fact that there is a complaint
hat many do not attend the games
hen the Males are to play. AS many
eople, especially business men are not
BILE to attend the first game on ac-
aunt of it being called at an early
our. they will always be sure of see
e an interesting game at the second
sriod of play which begins at $3.50 P.

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The foreign commerce OF the United
States in the fiscal year just ended IS
larger than in any preceding year in
its history. The total OF imports and
exports as shown by the Department
OF Commerce through it's Bureau Of
Statistics is. for the year 1903. s2.445.-
s104r7 against 8. 31O. e37.15s in the year
1900. which was considered the banner
year prior TO 1900. Imports are larger
than in any preceding year and exports
are larger than in any preceding year
save in the exceptional year 1901. The
imports for the first time crossed the
billion dollar line. the total being
s1.O25. s1s127 and the exports for the
second time crossed the 81. 400. OOO. 900
line, being s1.41s. ss1 200 or practically
fourteen hundred and twenty millions
The single year in which the value Of
exports exceeded those OF 1903 is the
fiscal year 1901 when the total was
s1,4s7, 7s4, 991. The imports exceeded |
those Of 1893 by about 100000 and |
the exports exceeded those Of 1893 by |

Comparing the figures of 1903 with

of 1853 were s2ss. 900. 900, those for 1863.

SAN FRANCISCO
LANDMARK GONE

The files bring news of the burning OF
the famous castle on Telegraph Hill,
San Francisco.
| The landmark was a spot famous to
| tourists the world over. The castle
was built by Adolph Sutro quarter of
century ago. 1t was the idea of the
! late capitalist to make of the top of
the hill an observatory and park. To
| facilitate travel he built a gravity ca
| BILE road up the hill from Powell up
Lombard street. The observatory at
once became a very popular resort.
/ The surrounding park was used as
garden. 1t was great strain that the
! cable pulling the cars up had to bear
and one day the cable gave way, a
car went tumbling to the bottom of
the hill and a number of passengers
We're killed. This was the end of the
cable road and the park closed.
A number of people tried to make a
success of the resort. one being Dun
can C. Ross. the once famous wrestler
For awhile the castle was used for
vaudeville performances. There was a
$4,000 candle-power lamp put up in
1882 which was the strongest light on
the Pacific Coast. 1t was before the
days of the searchlight. but the crowds
that gathered every night were as |
moths before a candle. Throngs of |
people visited the place. Here was the |
scene of many of the brawls and fights
started by the Dirty Dozen a num-
Der of whom afterward graduated to
the penitentiary. They worked at odd
jobs by day and at night gathered on
the hill at the resort seemingly for no
other purpse than that of stirring up
trouble.
For many years the old castle was
used as a residence by an old man and
They prevented hoodlums
breaking into the structure and kept
It in fairly good condition. A fiagpole
and a time ball were placed on the
.op of the tower. Shortly before noon
every day the woman climbed to the

vas dropped by means of an electrical
apparatus worked automatically from
Mare island. Mariners were able to set
heir chronometers, as the dropping of
he ball was easily seen from all parts
# the harbor. There was considerable
discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of =
moving the time ball to the ferry sta |
ion when that building was COM
leted, as the latter building was not
bought to be so good place for OBJ
ervation.

CITIZENS DISCUSS RAILWAY.
Committee Will Go to Winfield To-
day.

Threatening weather prevented many
from attending the mass meeting held in
the interest of the proposed Wichita and
Southeastern railroad, in the city coun-
ell chamber last night, but many of the
leading business men of the city were
present and the meeting was one of I'M
usual interest. The object of this meet
ing was to bring together the citizens Of
Wichita and discuss thoroughly, freely
and from every standpoint the proposition
laid before the people of this city by
Major Wambaugh, of ST. Louis, but
beyond some rather warm discussions the
question stands very much as it did before
the meeting. The conference committee
appointed at last meeting returned its re-
port and it was read before the meeting
last night. The report stated that the
committee had thoroughly inspected the
contracted offered by Mr.. Wambaugh
and that it appeared satisfactory in every
way They recommended that a finance
committee be appointed for the purpose
Of raising funds for circulating petitions
and for defraying the expenses of the
bond election. They also recommended
that a committee be appointed TO go with
a similar committee from Winfield to st.
Louis and confer with Mr.. Wambaugh
with the idea of learning just what he is
willing and ready to do in regard TO the
road. The report was adopted. bat the
committees were not named last night
The only step taken forward was in the
appointment of "a committee to confer
with the people of Winfield and learn
just where that city stands and what
they intend to do. The following persons
were appointed on that committee: c.
L. Davidson, r. L. Holmes, ]. H. Stew
art, @. II. Smythe and Frank Wood. This
delegation will leave this morning for
Winfield and will report at the next meet
ing which viii be held in the city council

the bishop on the trip and assisted in the
dedicatory services.
great many new settlers are moving
into Kingman county and where were
formerly big cattle pastures are now
prosperous settlements. The people are
building school houses and churches.
which shows that Kiugman county IS
getting a good class OF settlers. Frank
Weinschenk of hingman is the real es-
tate agent who is very largely instru-
mental IN bringing these good people to
Kingman county.
One of the churches, st. Peters, is M
teen miles from Bingman city and the
other, St Leo's, is twenty-five miles
Father Then said last night that he en-
loved the trip very much. They were
nice little churches and the people for
miles around came 10 attend the services.
The popular Wichita priest was very
much impressed with TIE idea OF dcci-
eating churches in q country that only
q few wears ago was an immense cattle

HEAVY RAINFALL.
Streets and City Jail Flooded Last
Night.

Contrary to the predictions made by
the weather bureau that Wichita would
enjoy clear weather last night and today,
the clouds which threatened rain nearly
all day yesterday gathered their forces
before 8 o'clock last night and the result
was a general down-pour. The first
shower lasted about an hour, and that
alone was sufficient to flood the streets.
Several showers followed in rapid sue
cession, and at midnight the street at the
corner of Douglas and Topeka avenues
was almost impossible, while the sewer
at the City building was unable to carry
on all the water and it gradually backed
into the jail until il was or inches
deep. The prisoners were compelled to
climb to the tops of the cages to keep
dry. 1t is estimated that IA inches of
rain have fallen since the storm began
last night.

Long Lease Has Been Secured

SWITCH RIGHTS SECURED
And Elevator With Capacity of
$4,000 Will be Built

The preliminary arrangements are now
completed and Wichita is going to have
another big elevator 1t will be built by
the Stevens-Scott Grain company and y.
s. Barr, a former miller at Kiowa-
The company have secured a long lease
on three acres of ground belonging to
the Stock Yards company south of CHS
holm creek and north of the Watson
mill and the Nevling elevator. The
ground lies high and east of the joint
tracks. and it is a splendid location for
an elevator. The elevator will have
storage capacity of %. 900 bushels and viii
be furnished with the very latest up-to-
date machinery for the rapid handling of
grain TO and from the cars.
The work of getting the consent of the
different railroads TO put in the joint
switches to the new elevator has neces-
sarily consumed d good deal of time but
that has all been accomplished and the
company is now ready to let the contract
for the building of the elevator. and it is
trying TO insert the condition that 1t
must be finished and ready for operation
by the first of August A good deal Of
work was required to secure proper To-
cation and Superintendent Dulaney of
the Union Stock Yards company helped
out in that.
1t was found that another elevator
could not be located very near to the
Nevling elevator and the Watson mills
without interfering with their switching
arrangements, and the only thing left
was to go further north. An offer was
made to pay the stock yards people a lib
eraI price for three acres of ground, but
Superintendent Dulaney said under the
present arrangement the company could
not sell the ground. He did the next
best thing, and told Mr.. Stevens that he
would give him a long lease on the
