A Long Chase Ended.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 18.-De- tectives McAna1ny and Mcclure have arrived here with Carey Snyder, whom they had arrested in small town near Billings, Mont, more than a week ago. The return of Snyder was not made without series of dramatic incidents, and his Imprisonment in Kansas City now ends the chase that was conl- menced in May of last year and ex- tended over great part of the United States. Snyder is charged with hold- ing up and robbing O. H. Stevens and his wife on the night of May 1, when, it is alleged, he secured diamonds and other jewels valued at about S6,500. Charles E. Farrow, now a prisoner in the county jail, is said to have con- fessed to the police that he was one of the robbers and implicated Snyder as the other.

OUTLOOK FOR TREATY.

Ratification of Canal Pact Will Fol~
 low Election For President.
 PANAMA. Colombia, Sept. 1S.-Sen- ator Obaldia, the new governor of the tsthmus, who has arrived here from Bogota. in an interview said: ,
 'I consider the election of General Reyes for the next presidential term as the only solution to the Panama canal difficulty. If he is elected. as is wished by the whole republic, there is not the slightest doubt that the treaty will be ratified by the next congress.
 Before leaving Bogota had several conferences with the American minis ter, who agrees with me, and I am sure that he has cabied to his govern ment in regard to this important mat ter. The Bogota papers reported that the communication of the American minister, MT. Beaupre, to Foreign Sec retary Rico contributed to the rejection of the canal treaty.
 'The fact is, the rejection was the re- suit of the work of the enemies of President Marroquin in the senate, who for political not patriotic reasons would vote against any and every measure proposed by the president"

Shaw Tnstructs Collectors.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Secretary Shaw has issued new circular of in. structions to collectors and other off cers of the customs regarding the ex- tension of courtesies to persons from foreign countries. The new regula- tions are more restrictive than former circulars on the subject. No courtesies are to be extended to any one except foreign ambassadors, ministers, the members of their suits. invaids and persons arriving in charge of their dead, or persons summoned home in haste by news of afdiction or disaster or other imperative emergency. A change, however, is made in the cases of ladies travelling alone, when prece- dence in the examina ton of their bag gage is authorized. The issuance of passes on revenue cutters is allowed only in very exceptional cases.

WILL LEAVE sAAMRocks HERE.

Lipton's Disposition of the Anserica's
 Cup Chm1lcH@ers.
 CHICAGO. Sept. IS. - Sir Thomas Lipton has decided to leave the three Shamrocks on this side of the ocean.
 According to Captain R. V. Webster, Sir Thomas since coming to Chicago has made up his mind what he wants to do with his racers.
 "All of them-Sha mrocks l., IL and IIL-will be kept on this side of the ocean," said Captain Webster "Sir Thomas is looking for bidders for Shamrocks I. and III, the first and last racers he brought over here to lift the cup. Shamrock II. is his favorite. He wants to keep her, for he feels that she made the best showing of all his racers. He has tender spot in his heart for the way she pushed the Co lumbia in every race two years ago. The Erin will go home by way of the Azores, but the yachts will be kept here indefinitely"

MARY SHAW IN GHOSTS"


 Seats will be put on sale tomorrow morning for Mary Shaw's presentation of Ghosts" at Poli's Monday evening, and because of the intense interest aroused in this play and the fact that 1t is the first high class dramatic offer ing of the season there will undoubt- edly be very big demand for them. Miss Shaw took the 1bsen play from the pages of good literature and made it a living, pulsating, absorbing dra- matic being. Of those who knew lit tie of Ibsen she has made admirers not only of her high art but of the dra- matist's intellectual qualities as we'll. She has invested her portrayal of Mrs Alving in a way to make women love her. She has shown the tragedy of a strong woman's life and placed the Ib- sen play in the list of classics She has accomplished all this by true art A woman of high personal attainments she has employed only the most legiti- mate methods. Ghosts is a play which holds its audiences enthralled. It makes it's patrons think and, very naturally. all do not agree with the playwright, though all respect his great ability and the consummate art Of Miss Shaw and her company Prices are 25, 5O, 75 cents, g and $1.50.

cABLE OF PERCENTAGES.

According to the Boston Heralds figuring, Pat Dougherty now leads the American league in batting, with a percentage of .341 to .339 for Lajoie.
 Oliver M Conn, umpire in the Three I.s base ball league, died early Mon day morning from injuries received while trying to board moving street car to go to the ball game on Sunday
 Pitcher Skopec jumped the Detroit team after a disagreement with Man ager Barrow. Skopec refused to sleep in an upper berth and Barrow, accord ing to the pitcher, would not procure a lower berth for him, nor would he let him sit up in a chair. Skopec, after some words. turned in his uni form and left the team.
 As far as worrying over the matter of grounds for next season is con- eerned, Manager Canavan is willing TO turn that task over to outsiders WHO are in ignorance of the situation. He knows just where he stands on that question and is not giving 1t tnough1 The New Haven team will play al Savin Rock next season under condl- tions fn1ly as favorable as ever oefore.
 Ed Walker. the giant pitcher of tho Toledo base ball team, is in the hos pital at Columbus. His ailment is sup posed to be appendicitis. ssTuck" Fur her. first baseman of the team, is i'll bed at the Neil house. suffering from gastritis. Frank Rsisling. the cap rain of the Toledoes, may leave them Monday for the season. He has been retained as coach for the Ohio Medical university football team.
 Vice President Charles Soners of the Cleveland team says: Collins has a. team that is. in my opinion. the strongest in the country. Compared with Pittsburg it is stronger behind the bat and in the box. In hitting ability the two are evenly matched. although there is no good basis to work upon. as the pitchers in the American league are so much superior to those in the National Both teams have good out helders, the Pittsburg outfit being a trife the faster. Clarke and Dougher- fy are two great players. and so arc Beaumont and Chick Stahl Freeman is better than Sebring. There is not a weak spot in either infeld unless it is a-.. tsasrd on the Pfttsburg team. where Leach is handicapped by injuries. At any rate Collins outclasses him.
 The Highlanders are after second place. no less, Clark Griffith, their manager, says so. Its second place we want" said Grif, "and we won't De satisfied until we get it. We are not going to lose another game this season. Every one we have to play is on our own grounds, and we'll pass Philadelphia and Cleveland. All my men are in first class shape again. My pitchers are all right, and with Cleve land ending the season away from their own grounds. l don't see where they figure to come in second" And the Highlanders have made money, too. s'The season has been successful financially" said President Joseph Gordon. we did not make only a thousand of two thousand dollars, either. but enough to know that our investment is a good one. Our team has been under a big expense. and when we went on the road we always caESied eighteen. nineteen or twenty men, yet the figures are on tho right side Of our ledger"

 Tracks

Rain Interfered With the Races on All
 Tracks.
 Clinton, Mass, Sept 1S.--A series of brisk showers interfered with the rae ing at the Clinton fair yesterday. The 2:2o trot was concluded under ditn- culties and the 2:35 pace, after two heats, went over until to-day. An ex- tra purse of $1OO was offered in con- nection with the free-for-all for the horse that should break the track rec ord of 2:131R, established by Moth Miller in 1899. Two horses equaled, but failed to lower the mark, owing to stiff wind that blew up the back stretch. Twelve thousand people were in attendance. The 2:30 was ta- ken by Luvaro in straight heats.
 Woonsocket, R. l., Sept 1S.-Rain prevented the finishing of either of the races at the Woonsocket trotting park yesterday afternoon, four heats being run of in the 2:23 trot and three in the 2:20 pace. Glenwood, Jr, and Ethel wyn each took two heats in the trot, while honors were even in the pace between Ned Wilkes, Sunshine and the favorite, Redombale. Leona, the fa- vorite in the trot. disappointed her packers. fourth place in the second heat being the best she could land. A high wind prevented fast time, but ev- cry heat was we'll fought Redom- bale has been sold by Dan Kelley of Blackstone, Mass, to Frank Slavin Of Providence, the price being understood to be about S2,000.
 Reading, Mass, Sept 1S.--A south west gale swept down the stretch at the Readvflle track yesterday and, while it prevented Dan Patch from attempting to break his record. it did not hinder some excellent racing in the regular events, especially the 2:0S pace. Tn this race Nervolo was the favorite, although many backed To- canda when it was found that the son of Allerton was to be driven by James Golden. Locanda won the first two heats in close finishes, the half in the second heat being paced in 1:01. The third proved to be the turning point in the race. Hudson, who was driving Nervolo, took his horse directly in the rear of Locanda's sulky, thus making the latter a wind shield. The two kept in this order until within a six teenth of a mile of the finish, when Nervolo came out and being stronger, won the heat by a head The next heat was also well fought, but Ner- volo still had the speed and not only won that one. but the next and the race. The other events were taken in straight heats. the 2:14 by Masetto, the 2:15 by Rowellan.

POLO IN THE EAST.
Outlook Is Gloomv-Cunningha
 Might Take Providence

Might Take Providence.
 The sudden and tremendous hit which polo made in the middle west last winter is naturally recalled in the flight of many of the best known polo players of this section of the country, lured on by all kinds of salary induce. nent and prospect of making hay while the sun shines.
 A few of the veterans, however. have remained east and resisted the fiattering offers made by the magnates of the Western league. Tom Cottor will preside over the Chelsea district again this season. and has his hooks out for the available experienced pay CTS and promising colts. Howard Dick) Pierce and George Cunningham m of Pawtucket are at home and uD to date have not been signed. Bill Con- way is also within reach in case he should decide to go on the surface for another season.
 Cunningham talked polo the other day and in discussing the general situ- ation expressed a disappointment that Providence was not to be represented in the polo ranks this year. He ex- pressed willingness to undertake the management of q polo club there. and to invest a portion of the maintaining fund if the remainder can be procured from patrons of the game who care to see it perpetuated. Parsons made money in Providence last season. but was handicapped by the elephant on his hands in the shape of the Law. renee club. There are many others who share Cunningha ms optimistic views, but if there Is to be anything at all doing this year it must be start. ed soon. as the playing season Is neal at hand.
