Ball Game a FiZZIe.

The ball game between Grand juno
tion and Palisades, which was sched-
uled to occur yesterday did not come
off. The main trouble and reason
for the calling off of the game was
that when the local boys arrived at
the grounds not one single wee Pal
isades ballist could be found and the
bows grew pretty warm under their
linen when this fact became known.
Not wanting to disappoint the crowd
which had gathered to see the game,
a scrub nine was lined up which tried
to present nine innings of ball to the
audience. They succeeded pretty
we'll in producing lots of good nature
and fun, but where the ball playing
came in no one has thus far been able
to discover.
1t would have kept three men busy
counting the errors made by both
teams, wild throws. fumbles and
clumsy WORK turned the game into a
decided burlesque exhibition. Some
very good plays were made, however.
and those who made them were we'll
complimented by the crowd.
The scrub team used three pitchers
and the regular ball team used Rich
ardson and Braokep. Every decision
made by the umpire was most vigor-
ously contested by every member of
tine ball team and everyone in the
audience and "beefing' seemed to be
the order of the day.
After little over an hour of this
amusing burlesque the game was de-
cided in favor of the regular team by
score of 90 to Z. The day was ex-
ceedingly hot and there was many a
sun burned face turned homeward at
the conclusion of the game.

A Delegate in Congress.

Through the great moral courage il de-
manding honest primaries in this District
there has opened up the possibility of secur-
ing from Congress an electoral franchise for
a delegate representation on the floor of the
House of Representatives, which delegate
will have all the rights of territorial repre-
sentatlpn. and believe it probable that the
congress of the United States realizes the
justice as well as the righteousness of the
claim of the District to representation in the
House of Representatives, and that they
Will give us that representation at the next
Congress. This accomplished, opens up still
broader channel for home rule because the
people of the District will then be in DO
sition to show cCnclusively that they are
worthy of having their own local and munic-
branches composed of a house and senate
to ma their own laws, and TO elect by pop
ular vote all officers of the municipality.
The platform of the democratic party of
the District will probably be short but to
the point. the most important issues being
the overthrow of the trusts, tariff rvision
local self-goVernment and an honest ad-
mlnistration of the affairs of the national
government. 1t is believed that these re-
suits can best be accomplished by the Dis
trlct of Columbia first sending an unuuali-
nedly instructed delegation to the next ST
Louis national democratic convention for
William Randolph Hearst, the foremost of
all Americans"

Cardinal satoln Coming Here.

A cablegram from Rome says: Cardlnai
Satolli, with the permission of the pope, is
going to the United States privately and
without a mission, arriving probably In
June. AS project of the congregation of
studies the cardinal will visit the Catholic
University at Washington and he will also
make a trip to the st. Louis exposition. 1t
is expected that his visit will extend over a
month.
Cardinal Satollis visit is considered re-
markable, there being no record in recent
times of a cardinal Immediately attached
to the papal court going abroad without be-
ing accredited an ALLOCATE.

OTHER EXPLOSIONS.
The Notable Disaster on the Princeton
Recalled.

The most memorable explosion of gun
in the early days of the navy occurred
during the '4Os on the Princeton, in the Po-
tomac river below Washington. A new gun
named the Peacemaker, because it was
thought that on account of its great power
1t would put an end to war, was to be tried
and distinguished party was invited to
witness the trial President Tyler, the Sec
retaries of War and the Navy, and Mr..
Gardiner of Gardeners Island with his
daughter Miss Julia Gardiner were among
those board.
The gun exploded at the first shot and
Secretary Upshur was killed. President
Tyler might have been killed but for the
fact that Miss Gardiner hid his hat and
prevented him from going on deck. Mr.. Ty-
Ter afterward married Miss Gardiner
Two Disasters Like Yesterdays.
There have been two accidents in the
navy somewhat similar to that on the Mis-
souri,
Nine men were killed in February, 1903,
in one of the eght-inch gun turrets on
the battle ship Massachusetts by a gun
charge exploding while the breech was
open. An order had been given TO change
from percussion to electrical firing after
the gun was cooked and the breech opened
to allow the change to be made. In some
way the lanyard was pulled accidentally
the gun discharged and all the men in the
turret were killed.
Ensign Ward X. Worstman. who was
in charge of the turret, was court-martialed
though the court of inquiry recommended
that no further action be taken. The court
martial acquitted him, it was found that
the naval regulations bad been complied
with
Explosion on the Iowa.
About the same time as the accident on
the Massachusetts, several men were killed
on the battleship Iowa by the bursting
of one of the twelve-inch guns outside the
turret. Pieces of the gun crashed through
the deck and killed the men while they
were at mess.
The gun had been in service some time
but had not been fired nearly up to its sup
posed limit of absolute safety. The ac-
cident was attributed TO weakness of
which there had been no premonitory indi-
cation.
All the naval guns built since then have
been greatly strengthened, as the case of
lne Iowa demonstrated that with the pow
erful explosives in use the force of the
blast extends practically the whole length Of
the gun, instead of being confined to the
breach

The ways and means to bring success to
the democratic party in the presidential
campaign this fall were discussed by prom
nent democrats representing every part
of the country. who attended the Iroquois
Club banquet at the Auditorium tonight in

A feature of the banquet was a letter

"patriotically seek the welfare of our coun-
try through the ascandancy of safe and
sane democracy
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in his response to
the toast, Our Country" made a forcible

words met with the approval of the au-
dence.
