Baseball Notes.

Greenville started the season with
the intention OF observing the salary
limit. 1t was soon seen that the low
priced men could not put up a re-
/ spectacle fight against the other teams
There was Wholesale firing and a
very good team was secured. Green
vile played we'll and had good
standing near the top. Nitckens, a
pitcher who was farmed cut by Man
ager Fisher OF Nashville, proved to
be valuable man for Greenville,
but when he became almost indlspen-
sible Fisher recalled him. This
seemed to discourage the Greenville
management, and from that time on
there was only faint hearted effort
to keep them in the race. The club
was allowed to be broken up, when
men were crippled or sick no new
were secured to fill their places and
games were dropped to such an ex-
tent that it wes soon determined that |
Greenville had no show to finish !
near the top. Several good batters
were included in the teams personnel
-Reisinger, King and Houston
among them. Had Greenville's line
up remained intact, and had the club
played to the end Of the season as
hey did for long stretch during the
middle another tale might have been
,een told. 1t is certain Greenville
would have finished in the first divis-
on. First or second place would not
ave been beyond reach.

Clark's Generous Campaign Donation.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: 1t was reported at the national demo-
cratic headquarters last night that Senator
William A. Clark, the copper king of Mon
tana, had given 81 OO0, COO to the commit
tee for campaign expenses 1t was said that
the sum was the personal gift of Senator
Clark. From another source it was said
that Senator Clark after he had called on
Judge Parker at the Hotel Seville, said that
he would be responsible for the collection
of 81 100000. The committee is now
authorized to draw on him for any part of
that sum. Senator Clark was seen last
night in the Albemarle Hotel, where he had
been to call on Senator Taliaferro of Flor
da He was asked point blank if it were
true that he had given s1,OGO0O0. He re-
fused to discuss the report. That Senator
Clark did make heavy contribution seem
ed to be a settled fact among those around
the Hoffman, the Waldorf, the Fifth Ave-
nue. and Seville hotels last night. One story
that has all the earmarks of truth attached
to it is that Senator Clark did not personal
ly contribute the 81 100000, but that he told
Judge Parker he would be one of ten men
to give that sum; that he would act as
chairman of committee of ten men that
would contribute million. He guaranteed
that sum outright. If he got some of it
divided with friends, all right; if he had to
bear the whole of it he could do it, as his
income is about 81 100000 month.

Fx-student Killed De Plehve.

A cab,egram from st. Petersburg last
night says: A judicial inquiry has proved
the assassin of Minister of the Interior de
Plehve to be the son of a merchant of
Ufa, a town of eastern Russia of the name
of Sazonoff. The assassin was formerly
student at Moscow University. Sazonoff
had been deported to the province of
Tomsk, in Siberia, whence he returned with
out authority to south Russia. There he be-
came journalist and subsequently a rail-
way officer. although he has not quite re-
covered from the wounds he received in the
explosion of the bomb which killed de
Plehve he will be removed from the hospt-
tai, where he now is. to cell. The rumor
that he had escaped from the hospital was
without foundation.

Cleveland Will Not Speak in Campaign

A dispatch from New York last night
says: At democratic headquarters today
the announcement was made that ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland would not speak during the
campaign. George F. Parker of the literary
department of the national committee said:
Every report which represents Mr..
Cleveland as about to go upon the stump
is absolutely without authority either from
himself or from the democratic national
committee. These reports naturally have
the effect of misleading the public and also
are annoying to Mr.. Cleveland. He has an
nounced at all times that he would do all
in his power to promote democratic sue
cess, but that he ought not to be expected
to make speeches"

A dispatch from Newport News va, last

old, was thrown from bicycle today and
had his skull fractured from ear to ear.
He was removed to the hospital and an
operation was performed. but the physi-
clans entertained little hope for his re-
covery. The boy was speeding along the

The total number of fine ounces produced
in the United States for the calendar year
1903 was 100000 The value of silver is
computed at 81 cents per fine ounce
The total output of gold shows a decline
of $6400,000, and of silver a decline of l.
100000 ounces from the figures of the pre-
vious year The falling off in both metals
is almost entirely due. according to Mr..
Roberts, to labor troubles in Colorado.
The most important gain by any state
was about 100000 in gold by Nevada
