Sedalia at Wichita.
Leavenworth at Topeka.
The White Sox hold another record
for the year. At the close of Thurs
days double-header with Guthrie they
had lost sixteen straight games. That
is the largest number of consecutive
defeats suffered by any club in the
country this year. The worlds record
is twenty-one, held by Pittsburg of the
National league, and it occurred in
1897 or 1898, sometime back there.
Last year Fort Scott, in the Missouri
Valley league, dropped thirteen
straight games. This year Little Rock;
twelve straight games, and on the first
demand on memory it appears that
this is the largest number of con-
tinued losses next to Topeka for the
season.
+ Kansas City Star: "Bill" Hart, who
has been pitching professional ball
since the summer of 40, says that if
he is in the game twenty years from
now he expects to have the game
needed. "I'll have a ball that will go
to the plate and then come back to
the pitcher" said Hart.
Cozart, the man who had planned
to buy the Guthrie team and take il
to Enid, is now playing short for the
Senators. Tex Jones is still with them,
however.

The Gallon House" proprietors.
Ed and r. Anderson, who have been
doing business among the harvest
hands and teamsters near Vansycle
for several weeks past. have ceased
operations and "flew the coop" for
parts unknown. Yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Joe Blakeley left here in a
two-seated rig with the intention Of
consulting with the two men, but
when he arrived at their place about
noon, they had disappeared. Tent
booze and all had been taken. and
nothing remained but a cave dug in
a bank and used as cold storage
remained to show for the stand that
has caused so much notoriety during
the present harvest
Mr.. Blakeley was told that the An
derson brothers had left the evening
before his arrival and they are
thought to have moved over into
Washington. Evidently some OF the
patrons of the place had seen things
that made them believe visit from
the sheriff was to be expected, and
they told their fears to the proprie-
tors of the tent, with the result as
above stated.
For some time past 1t has been said
that the 'gallon limit" was not being
observed by the two men and that
liquor could be had In less quantities.
This Is said to have accounted for the
visit made by Deputy Blakeley
though that official declines to state
what his motives were.
The wheat ralsers and warehouse
operators of the vansycle country
have not taken kindly to the "gallon
house" idea, and they are glad the
business is stopped, though some wish
that the Andersons had remained
there another day, 30 as to have met
the deputy sheriff

Next Session Tomorro,R.

Portsmouth, Aug, 22.-Today's
peace conference was postponed until
9:30 a. m. tomorrow.
The inability Of the secretaries to
complete the drafts of the protocols
is given as the reason for the delay.
Assistant Secretary Pierce this
morning was in conference with Ka-
neko's secretary for over two hours,
at the Rockingham hotel. Pierce de-
clared he only came to arrange BAN
.let he is to give the japanese envoys
tomorrow night. while he and the sec
rotary and two others are closeted.
The clerks at the hotel positively de-
MED that Pierce was in the house.
It is believed the conference is about
the concessions Japan is ready to
make to Russia.
The secretaries are busy completing
the minutes Of the sessions of the con-
ference. The minutes of each meet
ing consist of from 1900 to 5000
words. They are drafted in both Jap
anese and Russian. and after agree
ment by the ENJOYS as to the exact
wording, must then be written in
French. Differences frequently arise
as to the Interpretation. They must
be harmonized. .....,
The Japanese ENJOYS declare It is
absurd to suppose the cession Of half
OF Saghalien would be accepted. They
declare they have possession of the
island and that Russia can never re-
cover 1t. al
Witte and Rosen took an automo-
bile ride into the country this morn
ing The Japanese spent the morning
in their apartments.
The wire between here and Toxic
is kept busy with messages in code.
but not the slightest hint of what is
being done is given,
It is understood If the ENJOYS meet
tomorrow the meeting will be n short
one and an adjournment will he taken
until Friday.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-22

Portland, Ore, Aug. ga fire,
starting at Union and Oak streets
early this morning on the east side,
has at o'clock swept clean two city
blocks, destroyed the street car
bridges, tying up traffic and spread
to surrounding blocks, Many build
ipgs are ablaze and the entire depart
ment is fighting the flames
This is the most menacing fire Of
the present year, taxing the energies
of the department. Two blocks have
been swept away, and the fringe of
this circle is blazing despite the con-
centrated efforts Of the fireboat and
engines.
The loss already aggregates several
hundred thousand dollars. Street car
traffic and light and power service Of
the entire East side is crippled.
The fire started in the Iowa hotel,
a frame structure, and rapidly spread
throughout the district largely occu-
pied by secondhand stores and shacks
standing on piling foundations. The
road way has been condemned, pre-
venting the fire department reaching
all parts of the endangered district,
and firemen waded and wallowed
through the slough in desperate ef-
forts to protect the structures. There
have been several thrilling escapes.
Firemen working on the elevated
roadways were frequently endangered.
The population of the gulch made a
mad rush to escape with their lives
and belongings. BY hard work the
flames were prevented from going
west. Some of the crews Of flremen
were subjected to such great heat
