SKEETERS BEAT
PROVIDENCE
Only A Lone Tally Saved
the Clamdiggers From An
Ignominious Shut Out.
NEW ARK CLAIMS TWO
BURNHAM DECLARES
PROVIDENCE HAS LOST By
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AND
TORONTO VICTORIOUS.

In the game between Providence and
Jersey City yesterday the Clamdiggers
saved themselves from a shut out by
scoring lone tally in the fourth inning.
The Skeeters had already three runs TO
their credit They managed to score
another in the sixth The Providence
reporters set it down to Pitcher Dunn's
stupidity and in the same breath an
nounce that the visitors played with
more dash than did Dunn's men, and also
excelled them in fielding The truth
is, the Jersey team is composed of the
best players in the league, and if the
players are shut out from again cap
turing the pennant they'll lose heart.
Linderman for Jersey City put up a
splendid game from the box. He kept
his hits well scattered. He weakened
a trife in the fourth inning when TWO
singles and an out produced the Clam
diggers' lone tally. Added to the splen-
did compliment paid the Jersey City
team in the effort to explain the Clam
diggers' defeat. is, the unintentional one
that SMurray's men ran the bases fine
~" What else, as a team, are they
expected to do? The truth is the scare
shows that the aggregation of Clam
diggers was outplayed by the Skeeters
from every standpoint. The tally Of
errors showed this. Each team is cred
tied with one error. Each team made
seven hits, and yet the skeeters made
four times as many runs as the Clam
diggers. It doesn't require an expert
writer of baseball to explain this. One
of the elements is that Cassidy in steal
ing bases hypnotised the CIamdiggers
by his audacity

feet Of such system upon the character

MR.. TILDEA'S SUCCESSOR

Throughout the prominent cafes of the
city, the club houses. and other places
where men meet and discuss politics. the
splendid career Of Police Commissioner
Tilden as a man. as a citizen. was al
most forgotten to-day in the speculation
as to what his death means in sizing up
the political situation. It will give May
or Pagan a chance to appoint a success
soF. Commissioner Tilden was looked
upon as Dickinson man. Every police
man Of the local department knew he
had a friend in Mr.. Tilden. no matter
what was his politics, SO long as he
did his duty. And every man who
didn't do his duty and depended on polit-
ical pull to get him out Of hole in
which he had voluntarily plunged him
self by disobedience of orders, looked
upon him as an impIacable foe.

LITTLE HOPE OF
PEACE
Russians win Reply to Jap
ans Terms Tomorrow and
a Rejection Is Expected.
NO MEETING HELD TODAY
GENERAL SENTIMENT N RUS.
sIA is AGAINST PEACE on THE
TERMS OFFERED.
NO MEETING HELD TODAY

PORTSMOUTH,. n. H.. Aug. II,
1905. Mr.. witte. head of the Russian
peace mission, was seen at breakfast
this morning He said: 4 will present
Russia's answer to the japanese de
mands at Joint meeting tomorrow
Mr.. Witte's statement has not increas-
ed the slight hope felt here that the re-
suit of this conference would be an end
of the war. If the Russians are able to
fix such an early time for their reply, it
is argued they have made up their minds
and It is inconceivable to students of the
situation that their reply can be any
thing but a rejection of the japanese
terms
There is still hope that their reply
may be counter-proposition and that
its presentation may be followed by an
attempt to obtain a modification of the
japanese demands.
Baron Rosen was seen at 8 O'clock
this morning. He said that there would
be no meeting of the commission to-day.
but that the Russian ENJOYS and their
staff would have a conference to-day.
Now that the Russian Government
and in spite Of the fact that Mr. Witte
has full power, this means the Gar
is in possession of the peace terms
stated by Japan, an air of gloom has
settled down on the place, which hap
pens TO be-the actual scene of one of the
dramas of modern history. Whether the
distinguished persons here assembled IN
a diplomatic war are assisting in a trag-
edy or comedy time alone will tell.
But, judging from the opinion of the
few who are willing to tell the truth
because they know, and because they
have no axes to grind, though they may
be willing for reasons best known to
themselves, all the indications go to show
that there will be no Peace of Wash
ington.' and that whether or not the ne
gotiations are resumed in another place.
the present effort will prove unavailing
All things are possible The amiable
efforts of the President, begun so aus
piciously at Oyster Bay, may, of course,
end ina triumph for the most lucky and
most prominent statesman of the time
But not all things are expedient. The
difficulty of the present situation is sim
ply this: In the opinion of those whose
opinion is worthy of eSit is not the
intent of Russia TO accept the terms that
it would be rational for Japan to sug-
gest, and it is inconceiyable that Russia
should agree to any terms that Japan
could be induced to regard as satisfac-
tory
It was stated here last night that there
might be an official statement from Mr..
Witte before the meeting Of tie Peace
Conference as to the proposals of Baron
Komura. It was also suggested that it
was much more likely that the specific
details would be made known at st. Ps-
tersburg than at New Castle, n H.
