the selling was the report that at today's

needed TO carry on extensive improve

only routine business would be trans

means will not be considered for raising

contemplated improvements have been
fully perfected. Preliminary expendi-

Gus corresponding issues that might be

bonds are selling on about the basis of
preferred stocks. that IL the market goes
lower they are still bonds. and that II
the market goes up these securities will

who are not altogether sure of the stock
market outlook have been putting their
clients long on these bonds as specu-

The active movement of money to the
South will doubtless soon be followed by
an increased supply of cotton bills at
the foreign exchange market and a fall
in sterling rates. Foreign bankers are
not now wiling to make predictions re-
garding the possibility of gold imports
this fall. but some venture the opinion
that a possible demand from this side
for the yellow metal will be supplied by
Australia rather than direct from Eu-
rope, especially as Germany is now a
bidder for English gold. The demand
for money from the West is not yet
heavy.

London, Sept IS. The political

of almost unprecedented interest The
king has influenced not demonstrations

the crown, but in the exercise of his

Premier Balfour's continued pres

much surmise and comment. but the

definitely that it is due to the kings
determination not to assent to the
formation of new cabinet until thor

Affairs Of the Empire

THE NIGHT
BALL GAME
WAS SHORT
Didn't care Very Much as They Had the
People Inside the Ball Park and Had
Taken Their Money.

. Two short-stops played in the center
of the diamond between the pitcher and
catcher, one one the left and one on the
right. The fielders played in on the
base line.
The game looked for all like n game
of ping pong. The small bats couldn't
push the bouncing rubber ball much
farther than the outside base line at the
most. The rubber ball fooled the Clarks-
burg fellows bit, as they were unused
to playing in that style. The Indians
seemed to have had some practice, which
gave them the advantage.
The game was short and sweet. 1t
took but about three or four minutes for
each side to line up and makethree outs,
and the innings simply flew. In the mid
die of the seventh inning, just when the
audience was beginning to get interested
in the game. the Indians quit playing,
leaving the score even. Many We're dis
appointed that the game was not fin
islIed to a deciding score, but the Indian
fellows propably got enough of it.
Between six and seven hundred people
witnessed the noval spectacle of a game
of baseball by night Mt the jackson ball
park Wednesday night. The Sioux IN
dian baseball club. travelling organiza-
tion of young fellows from somewhere
in Idaho or Montana, who claim to be
Indians and who look as much like In
dams as the moon does of purple cheese,
played a game with the Clnrksburg team.
The game resulted in a score of 9 to O.
In the first half Of the seventh inning,
the Indians called the game Off, and re-
fused to play any further. Here is the
| score:
Clarksburg ..........4 2 90 0 O-t
| Indians ...............2 90 '-C
Thirty or forty large carbon lamps
were strung around the mll diamond
to enable the players to sec, large rub.
bcr ball, probably five inches in diameter
was used. The bats used were little
affairs about as long as a tennis racket
and about rs heavy as an ordinary walk
ing cane.

is not definitely known, but the future
may have something good in store com
ing from them.
The party was composed of officials
and statesmen of the Consolidation Coal
company, besides those already mention

educational one.
In the party besides President 2. W.

The chief objects of the trip were said
to be the good of the statesmen and the
better acquainting the salesmen and sIi-
perintendents. They had a special train
Of four coaches, including President Wat

The party left for the east on No
last night.
