Notes On the Game.
A feature of the contest was the
stealing of bases on the part of Pet
tus.
1t was said last night that Pettus
lost his position with the Browns on
account of the good game he put UP
for Santa Fe There is some doubt
abs to the credibility of the rumor, yet,
if it is fact, it is probable that he will
get a permanent position with the
Santa Fe Centrals.

ing business here was engaged as

The contest was almost entirely de-
void of the unpleasantries that fire.
quently mar baseball games. But one
argument arose and that was settled
amicably.
It is probable that Santa Fe will
play in Las Vegas next Sunday, and
there is movement on foot to rum an
excursion to that city.
In the third inning Anderson made
a sensational steal from first to Sec
ond.
Fluke replaced Vorhees, who was
obliged to quit the game on account
of an injury to his eye.
In the sixth P. Alarid made pretty
steal from first to second.

STRIKE SITUATION
is GROWING DESPERATE
Proposition for Settling Strike Has
Been Arranged and Details are
Given Out.

Chicago, Aug 29.-The executive
board of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters Union adjourned after a short
session this morning, and the members
went to confer with the Allied Trades
| Council. 1t was admitted that the
proposition for settling the strike had
been arranged and would be presented
to the council for action, but the de
tails are withheld. There was no in
| dication of an immediate break in the
ranks Of the strikers anticipated by
| the packers. Early trains arriving al
the stock yards were thronged, about
$4,000 men and women being taken
in. The crowd however proved to be
the usual throng OF strike breakers
and there was no suggestion of disor.
der. Desertions from the ranks of the
strike breakers were no greater than
usual on Monday They approximated
about 100. The peace proposition was
discussed by the Allied Trades Coun-
cil but on account of the complicated
nature of the proposition, the council
adjourned without taking action. The
labor representatives will meet the
aldermanic committee today and the
proposition will again be taken up to-
morrow.
Provisions Of Peace Pact.
Chicago, Aug. 29-It is understood
that the peace pact which the leaders
have prepared provides that. the men
shall be taken back as union men and
the wage scale in erect before the
strike be recognized. The efforts of
the leaders is to devise some means of
surrender that cannot be construed as
settlement"
Almost a Stampede.
Chicago, Aug. 29.-With strike funds
depleted and crowds OF hungry men
vainly scrambling for food at the COM
missary stores, it taxed the labor lead
ers to find way to prevent stam-
pede from the union ranks today
"Wait till tomorrow, and we shall pre-
sent to the packers proposal which
they cannot decline to accept" they
told the men.
Demand Unconditional Surrender.
Chicago, Aug. 29.-"There is moth
ing for the men but unconditional sur
render" said prominent packer to-
day. "The leaders should not hesi-
tate in calling off the strike, so that
those who are anxious can find work
The only terms of surrender that we
shall consider will be a return of the
men as Individuals"
Packers Hold Secret Meeting.
Chicago, Aug. 29.-Representative
of the packers held long secret meet
ing this morning. They decline to
make any statement concerning the
purpose of the meeting beyond denying
that any communication has been re-
ceived from the strikers

ing, out the noise of the Duke City
crowd on the left side of the build
ing:.s 1t wasTa nip and tuck race, il
which Santa Fe had the support of the
| military band and Albuquerque the
! Italian organization. The teams par
ticipated in an half hours practice
and everybody present seemed anxious
to see the unknown quantity 'Semple, -
better known as Lemke. The Albu
querque fans saw him, but even then
not at his best.
Santa Fe Started the Game.
1t was $3.50 o'clock when Umpire
William (Billy) Mason called the
game p Alarid, for Santa Fe, famed
the wind and retired to the bench.
George Parsons, next up, placed one
to center field for two bases. A very
regrettable accident occurred at this
stage, which made it necessary for
Vorhees of the home team to retire.
Thel iner from Parsons bat struck an
empty shotgun shell and turned at an
angle in such way as to fool the
fielder, who was struck in the left eye.
A severe, if not serious, cash was cut
under the optic. Vorhees was gritty,
and tieing a bandage over the wound,
decided to remain in the game. A few
seconds later, however, he missed fly
out to his position because he was un-
able to see. He then left the diamond.
Pettus single then advanced Parsons
to the third plate. Garcia struck out,
and Anderson tapped light one into
center with the result that he was
thrown out at first, and then the side
was retired.
Locals Scored Twice.
Cosgrove was first up for the locals.
He was unable to solve Lemke's twist.
ems, and went to the bench. Mcdonald
was thrown out at first by Lemke
Gallegos singled, and with Fluke, next
up, scored on two errors on the part OF
Pettus at. first. Star chopped the air
and took the bench under Lemke's
meaning smile, which caused him to
resolve to do or die. M. Alarid start
ed off the second and went to the half
way pole on an error by Mcdonald,
who let the ball from the field pass
him. Catron was unable to connect
with Starr and famed. H. Alarid fol-
towed suit. Lemke plainly demon
strated his ability as batsman when
he faced his left-handed opponent for
the first time Many were of the opin-
ion that Starr was afraid to let him
hit the sphere. The "Pennsylvani-
an" took his base on balls. He was
the only one given such present dur
ing the entire game.
Score Twice Tied.
P. Alarid dropped long one into
center field. scoring Manuel Alarid and
advancing Lemke to third. George
Parsons failed to make good, and
French started the inning for Albu-
querque. There was no more scoring
until the fifth. Parsons started 1t off
with three-base hit to deep center
field. Pettus singled and sent Parsons
home to tie the score Garcia drew a
two-base hit from the clouds an;l
brought Pettus home for the third
score. A string of naughts followed

A two-base hit into center field by
Anderson brought in Pettus for the
winning run in the ten-inning game
played yesterday afternoon between
the Santa Fe Central team of the Cap.

final score was: Santa Fe, 4; Albuquer.
que, 8. Lemke, the new pitcher for
the locals, made good and a contract
will Immediately be signed for his
services during September and Octo-
Der. The largest crowd of the season
was in attendance at yesterdays con-
test throughout which a din was
kept up by the supporters of the two
mines, which made it impossible to
hear the decisions of the umpire and
drowned out the music of two bands.
Thousands at Depot.
The Santa Fe delegation, which con-
sisted of $50 persons, was met at the
depot by several thousand people.
There would have been larger num-
ber but for the fact that the train was
nearly one hour late, not arriving at
Albuquerque until noon. The members
of the Santa Fe Lodge of Elkis, No.
460, who occupied special car at
tached to the rear of the excursion
train, were met by committee of AL
buquerque Elks composed of T. S. Hub
bell, chairman; J. Learnard, William
Mcintosh, F. W. Fisher. c. F. Myers,
L. w. Gales, G. w. Stubbs, M. Nash
Frank Kfrster and E. B. Harsch. A
committee from the Albuquerque Com
mercial Club, composed of Delegate
B. S. Rodey, Editor Thomas Hughes,
w. H. Greer, o. N. Marion, G. w.
Stubs, F. A. Hubbell, William Mc-In-
tosh, w. E. Dame, Harry Lee, E. M.
claiborne, E. G. Garcia, Thomas Will
kersen and Ivan Grunsfeld, looked af-
ter the welfare of the other excursion
lists.
Bands Lead Parade.
The visitors, headed by the Elks, and
the Italian and Military bands Of Albu-
querque, marched in line through the
business portion of the city to the new
Elk's home. Here everything possible
was done for the entertainment of the
Santa Fe members Of the Antlered
Tribe. An open house was a pleasing
feature Of the many courtesies ex-
tended. The members of the order
were given the privilege of inviting
their friends to participate in the en-
joyment OF the occasion, and it may
well be imagined that they took ad-
vantage of the offer, for anybody who
knows anything about Albuquerque
knows something about the Elk's
Lodge of that city. A Dutch luncheon
was served at noon. Later the visiting
Elks were shown the Commercial Club
building and other points Of interest.
Enormous Crowd at Park.
In matter Of attendance, to say moth
ing Of enthusiasm, the crowd of fans
that assembled at the ball park broke
all previous records. It was good
natured assemblage and there was lit

No Time to Bury the Dead Of
Either Side While the
Fight Goes On.

Chefoo, Nov. s, 1890 p. m.-The
Japanese continue to lombard Port
Arthur and the shells are falling so
necessarily that the Russians have
practically abandoned the repair of the
works protecting the harbOr
Citizen volunteers and. the police are
now reinforcing the garrisons OF the
forts. according to the stories Of
Chinese arriving here. sixty Of whom
left Port Arthur on Nov. :. owing to
the high price of food.
So many men We're killed on both
sides during the last assault. that
many bodies lay unburied for days.
ana in some instances dogs. which had
been driven from the town. assuaged
their hunger by eating the dead.
In a few cases where this was seen
the horrOr-stTicken Russian sharp
shooters killed the dogs.
Some months ago Tho Russian an
thorities ordered that all dogs seen on
the streets should be shot, with the re-
suit that half-famished creatures have
been roaming the hills, becoming saw
age.
The Chinese say that the forts on
Golden hill have done practically no
firing for months past and il is be-
lieved that their ammunition has run
short.
The demolition of the Chinese new
town IS almost complete, thousand
houses having been destroyed for the
firewOod they contained.
The town is constantly catching on
fire, and the majority of the ware
houses and stores belonging to foreign
ers have been burnt to the ground
