COAL BARONS TAKE
 AN AERIAL VOYAGE
Pitcher Blackburn Was Wild
 and Runs Poured in
WHEELER DOES NICE WORK
After Having the Game cinched Black burns WiIdness Put the Team In the Air and Then Slag-
 town Was Sad.


 Alter having a game batted out. gath cred in and stuffed down in their bat bags Pitcher Blackburn instigated an aerial voyage and the entire cluster of Coal Barons took an upward flight and scared away beyond the slagpile while Chicago stepped in and captured the spells. The score was: Chicago. 10; Birmingham, 5.
 At the drop of the flag the Slagtown de- lenders began olouting the ball to the faraway corners, and before the grand- stand had assumed an attitude of peace. five runs had been scored and the visitors were badly beaten. Wheeler had been do- ing magnificent work in the box. allow ing but four hits and one run. He pos- sessed various kinds of curves and speed, and had the citizens from the Windy City completely at his mercy.
 black cloud then seurried over the horizon and the cyclone soon struck the Barons with all It's fury. Blackburn wen. in to pitch, and great elapping of hands greeted his first walk to the plate. The Texan made good by clouting the first ball pitched for single, but that is not the story

Blackburn Was Wild.

Blackburn went in to pitch the next inning and there was a wailing and gnashing of teeth. This gaunt looking Texan could not hit the ground with his hat. and the first batter strolled down to first without even swinging at a ball. An other pair of White Sox came up to the plate and cracked sharp drive which Blackburn couldn't hold. This filled ID the bases and bunt hit scored a visitor MT. Tannehil then came up with his wagon tongue and whacked a drive 70 centerheld which sent every living occu- pant of the bases scamperlng in hoine. Two other gentlemen came up and laid up against the ball for safeties
 IL was then that the game was lost and Blackburn retired In favor of Sis Hop kins. Sis did nicely until the eighth in- hing when a cluster of hits piled up four runs and mournful lot of fans passed out of the gates disappointed and deject- ed. It was a sad day in Slagtown. It can be said in Blackburn's favor, how ever. that he was up all night before the game attending his wife, who was very sick and he was not In fit condition to play.
 Barons Hit Hard.
 Birmingham made two runs in the first inning. Duffy lead off with single and Smith beat out a bunt, putting both safe Millerick then advanced both men on a sacrifice and Lynch drove them home with a safe crack over second base.
 Two more runs were added in the fourth inning. L. Lynch starting it off with a single over short. Tamsett hit over third for short two bagger and Lynch stop ped at third. Wheeler possessed the desired goods and ripped out a beauti- full single to left, scoring both men. Mill lerick's hit in the fifth, H. Lynchs sacri- flee and Alexanders drive to left brought in the final run.
 The next professional games will be between Boston and Birmingham, Mon day Tuesday and Wednesday. This all ternoon the Auburn college team will take a try at the Barons. The game will be called at o'clock.
 Following is the tabulated score:

THE MEXICAN DOLLAR
The Far Eastern War Increasing
 Its Value.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The insu,ar bureau of the war department is in formed that the value of the Mexican dollar at Hong Kong today is 4SA cents, a jump of two points since Saturday noon. This places the coin on a prac- tical parity with our own silver Phil ippire peso. The Mexican dollar has practically advanced from 37 cents to it's present figure within year.
 This last increase is explained at the war depar tment by the statement that the war has caused a heavy drain, Chi nese and Japanase merchants convert ing much of their stocks into cash to be prepared for emergencies. The result is expected to be the practical extirpation of the Mexican dollar in the Philippines, an act very much desired. for d heavy import duty on MeXicanAs will keer them out of the islands, once they aTe withdrawn.
Arizona republican., 1904-02-16

Washington, Feb. 15.-Marcus A. Hanna, United States senator from Ohio, died in his apartments at the Arlington hotel at $40 o'clock tonight of typhoid fever, after an illness of TWO weeks.
 He passed away peacefully. and without pain, after being unconscious since a. m., at which time the first of a series of sinking spells came on, from the last of which he never ral- lied.
 All the members of the family. with one CT two exceptions, were at the bedside when the end came.
 All through the rest of the after noon the effort of the doctors was a fight for the prolongation of life with out the faintest ray of hope. The watchers at the bedside expected the end momentarily.
 The senator passed the day practi- cally without nourishment of any kind, being too weak to retain it. The household had become resigned to the inevitable outcome, and sadly awaited the final summons.
 MT. Dover, the senator's secretary, when he left the sick room at 5:SO o'clock said that there was a percep- tible decrease of strength over the hour before, and life was fading very fast
 The patients pulse was so faint that it could not be detected at all at the wrist, and the heart barely fluttered
 Shortly after o'clock word came
Arizona republican., 1904-02-16

from the sick room that the sick man was simply wasting away.
 Mrs. Hanna, worn out with the un- watch she had kept by the senator's side since the inception of the illness, had been persuaded to go into another room, and tired nature had forced her to sleep just before the end came.
 She was not present when her hus- band passed away.
 At 6:20 o'clock there was severe sinking spell. Dr. Osler realized that dissolution was at hand and he hur- riedly summoned the family.
 The end is very near"fhe said to them. Sorrowfully they passed into the chamber just before life fickerad out. Abound the bedside were ranged MT and Mrs. Dan Hanna, NJ. and Mrs Mccormick, Mir. and Mrs. Parsons, Miss Phelps. Fl. NJ. Hanna and Elmer DCver. secretary to the senator. Be- side them were Drs. Osler and Carter and two trained nurses. For ten min. utes life ebbed slowly, and finally. at precisely GAO o'clock the senator breather his last.
 Those in the death chamber wept. Gathered in the office room where Senator Hanna so often had occupieG a desk dfctating campaign corre- spondence. at this time were Post master General Payne. who was also | associlted with MT. Harna as vice chairman of the national committee, | Governor Herrick. Representative Dick of Ohio, and host of others assO- 1 ciated with MT Hanna politically and personally. When the death was an nounced to them there was moment ! of absolute silence.
 1 Tt is a great loss" murmured Gen 1 Dick. Then Postmaster General Payne
 rang the telephone and the White House responded tb his call he said:
 Senator Hanna has just passed away thus conveying the news to | President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
 A large number of messages were sent out by the Hanna family and 1 by Governor Herrick announcing the i death. Throughout the evening there
 was steady stream of callers and ] messa ges of condolence, Secretary ! Cortelvou, Speaker Cannon, Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, and John !, Mclean of Ohio, being among the

WATER MEETINGS
Deliberations of the Council and
 Board of Governors.

The board of governors of the Water Users association held a meeting yes terday In the associa ton offices. The letters of President Fowler and Judge Kibbey were read respecting affairs in Washington. The essence of those let ters has already been published and is we'll set forth in a quotation from one of them as follows: When we come home we expect to bring ma tured papers. and no enc will or can know the work that has been reqUir- ed to accomplish these results"
 The board after discussion of the letters unanimously approved Of the work of its representatives in Wash ington so far as reports have been re- ceived and expressed continued con- fidence in both Judge Kibbey and President Fowler. There was no oth- CT matter before the board except a few bills which were audited and ord cred paid.
 The council of the association also held meeting yesterday pursuant to the call previously published There were both morning and afternoon ses- sions, the former being held Tn the board of trade room and the latter in the association offices. The meeting was presided over by Chairman Yer ncn L. Clark and it's proceedings were 1 recorded by Secretary Emory Rays There was a large attendance of the cOuncilmen and the meeting was a harmonious one, notwithstanding no definite action was taken. As previous I ly announced. the principal question | for consideration was the defining Of l boundaries for the ten election dis
 tricts, provided for by the articles of
 incorporation of the Water Users as | sociation.
 IL is designed, of course, that they
 shall be as fairly representative as possible and therefore contain as near
 a uniform acreage as possible with l physical divisions.
 l A prorata apportionment of the dis | tricts, in accordance with the acreage
 signed to the articles. would give the 1 south side three districts and the
 north side seven districts. There were 1 necessarily many things to consider in | the disc ussion of the question which
 was first brought before the meeting by the reading of the report of a com
 mittee appointed sometime ago tO
 plan the respective districts. The meeting ended without action being taken. or rather it was adjourned to I meet again week from next Satur-
 day, February 27. at the offices of the association.
