WEsTERNERs THE BEST
Spring Surprise at the Newport
Tennis Tourney.


Kreigh Collins and L.. II. Wander. the
western doubles champions, furnished the
sensation of the first day Of the national
lawn tennis tournament on the Casino
courts at Newport yesterday by winning
straight set victory over Holcombe Warde
and Leo e. Ware. the eastern champions.
Great credit is due to Collins for his brill
liant work, he making many more places
than any of the others, without making
any errors.
One of the strongest factors In the VIC
tory was Collins service, which he won
every time through the match. Waid-
ner was steadier than was expected, and
backed up Collins in excellent shape.

season. Except in their third set. when
they got the lead four games to one, they
did not exhibit the form displayed at
Longwood. Ware was particularly I'M
steady In the opening set, but improved
later in the match. Ward played a fairly
even game. but lacked force in all his
strokes, and particularly in his service.
The feature in the singles was the match
between w. ]. Clothier and B. c. Wright.

in a runaway. Wright was clearly off

American League Clubs, Standing.


The Washington base ball team made its
final appearance of the season In Chicago
yesterday celebrating the event by drop
ping a well-played game to the men OF the
immaculate stockings, score to l. The
time of the game was but one hour and z
quarter. which is pretty close to the major
league record of the season.
Wilson pitched for the Senator's and put
up a good, stiff argument all the way, de-
spite the discouraging support he received
at times. Roy Patterson was the box
artist of the Chicagos, and allowed the WIS.,
ftng men only four hits One of these was
double by Wilson. which, followed by
sacrifice and a fly to the outfield, netted
the only Washington tally.
Three lightning double plays helped ma
terially to shorten the game, the LOTUS
band being the victims in each instance.
Tannehill started the plays for Chicago
every time. and completed one unassisted.
fanny put up the best game of the sea-
son in his territory, getting ten chances
cleanly.
The Washington players had scores in
sight in the first two innings, but the
White SoX were the first to land in their
half of the second. Callahan led off with
bad bounder which got past Clarke. Ma
COON sacrificed and Tannehill whipped
liner into center, good for the first run.
The home players rested then for while.
until the visitors tied up the game in the
sixth This was done by Wilson, who led
off with a drive close past third base for
two corners. He was sacrificed to third,
and when Robinson lifted a fly to short
right center he completed the circuit ahead
of GREEN'S weak throw. Jones could have
taken the fly easily, and stood better
chance of retiring the runner at the plate
The White Sox won the game right back
again in their half of the sixth, which
Holmes opened with a double Isbell sac

right. Green also singled, but was forced

In the next round the home team scored

Venezuela Not Responsible to
Italy for Damages.
RALSTON'S REASONS
REVOLUTIoNISTS ARE NOT THE
AGENTS OF GOVERNMENTS.
Previous Decisions by Mixed Commits
sions Consideration. Dufield's
Contrary Opinion as to Germany.

The Italio-Venezuelan commission now in
session at Caracas has just had under con-
sderation the question of the liability Of
Venezuela for damages committed by un-
successful revolutionists. AS the arbitra-
tors for Italy and Venezuela differed in
their views the matter was referred to the
umpire, Mr.. Jackson H. Ralston of Wash
ington. whose decision has just come to
hand.
The opinion first discusses liability from
the standpoint of abstract reason, pointing
out that ordinarily governments. like indi-
viduals, are only responsible for the acts
of their agents. and that 1t would be alb
surd to treat their opponents as their
agents. 1t concludes this branch Of the dis
eussion by saying:
Il. Revolutionists are not the agents of
governments, and natural responsibility
does not exist.
''2. Their acts are committed to destroy
the government, and no one should be held
responsible for the acts of an enemy at
tempting his life.
80. The revolutionists were beyond gov
ernmental control. and the government can
not be held to account for injuries COM
mitted by those who have escaped it's re-

SHORT STORY FOR
EVENING HOURS
A SQUIRE OF DANES

A woman riding a galloping horse
at midnight in the teeth of a violent
thunderstorm reused sleeping people
to look after her with transient inter-
est as a new feature Of the country
resort. They naturally Conjectured
that she was riding on an errand of
desperate necessity, and would have
been both surprised and displeased
to know that she was solely on pleas
ure bent. If they had been more OBJ
servant they would have noticed a
freedom, a joyousness in the move
ments of both horse and rider that
indicated exultation rather than en-
forced haste. The daring equestrienne
was going like flash of the lightning
that revealed her, and the sure-footed
animal she rode made no misstep nor
swerved ever so slightly at the red
glare Of the storm.
The morning after the thunderstorm
and the midnight ride, Luke Curtiss
sat in his library waiting the announce
ment of the bell which would summon
him to breakfast. His wife had not
yet come down. but by the time the
meal was served she was in her place
looking in much better fettle than her
lord and master.
when they had eaten some little time
in burdensome silence Curtiss said
lansuidly:

CANE SUGAR OUTPUT

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture, In its official crop
report for November, announces that
the indications are that the world has
entered on a new era in the production
of cane sugar. The Department quotes
estimates placing the total sugar pro-
duction of the world in the year 1904,
at 1925 800 tons of 2240 pounds each
including 43i2, 800 tons of cane sugar
and 6,0S3,O0 tons of beet sugar, and
says as to cane sugar:
During the past five years the
worlds output of this product has in
creased from 100000 to more than
100000 tons, Quantitatively the great
est increase ever made in any five-year
period in the history Of this industry
Moreover, for the first time in half
century the ratio of increase in the
worlds production of cane sugar has
exceeded that of sugar made from
beets, the percentage of increase in the
former product for the five years being
about double that of the latter.
THE four years from 1901 to 1903
4, INCLUSIVE, were each in its turn rec
ord breaking years for the production
'of cane sugar. The previous high rec
ord crop (S,53O,O0O tons) was that OF
lS94-s5, the crop made Just before the
outbreak Of the revelation in the most
important producer-Cuba.
The high record crop in the his.
tory Of the worlds beet sugar produc.
ton was that of l9O2.O3. Since that
date, there has been a decline in pro.
duction in Europe, amounting in all to
about 100000 tons, but the present
years estimated output still shows a
considerable increase over that OF Ave
years ago
The report says that about so per
cent of the cane sugar Of the world Is
now annually produced on tropical and
semi-tropical islands. Cuba and Java
contribute about 40 per cent of tho
worlds supply of cane sugar,
