WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Two Chicago Clubs Will First Meet
Next TUESDAY,

CHICAGO. October 4.-The first game Of
the series between the Chicago National
League base ball club and the Chicago
American League club for the champion
ship of the world will be played Tuesday,
October 9, on the grounds of the National
League club in this city. The date was
decided today at a conference between
President Charles w. Murphy of the Ma
tionals President Charles Comiskeys of the
Americans and Harry Pulliam, president Of
the National League.
Procedure in determining which team
should have the advantage of the first game
was distinctly informal Mr. Murphy Dor
rowed dollar and spun it in the air, and
Mr.. Comisky said Heads" He lost, and
the discussion, in which several newspaper
men participated, turned on seating capac-
ity and prices for admission to see the
games. The presidents of both clubs ex-
pressed themselves in favor of ordinary
prices. for the reason that both teams have
been literally supported during the season.
Mr.. Pullfam, president of the National
League, set the price question at rest by
stating that the matter of prices would be
settled by the national commission, which
has charge of the games. An announce
ment on this point is expected from Mr..
Hermann, at Cincinnati, late this after
noon. Mr.. Murphy said that by reason Of
extra boxes, seating 1,200 people, and cir
Gus seats, he would be able to seat %, 600
people on the West Side grounds. Mr.
NoLliShSy uSCldTeu tHdt SlIIllldT arrange.
ments on the South Side would accommo-
date 10000.
There will be no material change in the
rules of last years championship series in
the present instance. Mr.. Murphy wants
more room behind the catcher for his extra
boxes, including the press stand, than was
allowed last year. Mr.. Comiskey does not
object, but the matter probably will have
to be settled by the national commission
which will meet in Chicago next Monday.
The advance inquiry for seats, no longer
locally, but from outside cities, is heavy,
but the presidents of both teams state that
they will be able to care for everybody.

The Presidents Departure.
MAY AWARD CONTRACT.
Proposed Plan Of Building the Pana-
ma Canal

A tentative decision has been reached by
Chairman Shonts Of the isthmian canal
commission that the Panama canal be built
by contract. He had a long conference
last night with President Roosevelt at
which canal matters were discussed fully
The President desires that conclusion
be reached on all questions Of canal con-
struc.ion as soon as possible. 80 that the
actual work Of construction may be pressed
vigorously.
1t is understood that the President has
not abandoned his contemplated trip to
Panama, and will not unless the Cuban
situation >or some other question should
become so acute as to require his presence
in Washington. Chairman Shonts expects
to be in Panama at the time of the Pres
dents visit, but it is likely that, instead
of accompanying the President, he will go
to Panama in advance to supervise ar
rangements for his reception.

May Be Trouble.
In a speech delivered at Des Moines,
Iowa, last evening, Senator Beveridge pre-
dicted trouble in Cuba. He sai1 in art:
"Our record in Cuba must be as clear
as our intentions are pure. But. speak,
ing for myself alone, and for no one else,
I believe that in re-establishing the Cuban
government all the world knows that we
are doing the work Of Sissyphus-roiiing the
stone to the top Of the hill. only to see 1t
roll back again. When another Cuban
president is elected by Cuban votes, how
long will 1t be before another Cuban insur-
rection overthrows him? When we again
set another Cuban government on its feet,
how long will 1t be before foolish factions
will again lay 1t PROSTATE? When we have
steadied the falling Cuban flag by the arms
of American soldiers and sailors, and then
have again Withdrawn the American power

HAVANA, October 4.-Gen. Agramonte,
the chief of police, stated last night that
an extensive conspiracJ among the militia
in Havana had been discovered. They had
plotted to ring all the fire alarms at once
and then loot houses. The militia and all
the other irreguars armed by Palma are
more uncomfortable than the rebels them
selves. While the latter give up their
arms peacefully and in good faith. the ir-
regular troops are trying to make trouble
here and in different parts Of the island.

firm the story telegraphed by Gen. Perez

there are unwilling to lay down their arms.

SHARP WORDS
 TO RED CROSS
An Ugly Scandal BrewS
 in San Francisco
The Committee is Charged With Ssl- IinS Flour Donated by Minneapolis tO the sufferers.

Minneapolis. June 25.-W. C. Edgar. chairman of the relief fund for the San Francisco sufferers, is in receipt of the following telegram from his correspon- dent in San Francisco concerning the sale of Minneapolis flour by General Greeley:
 "The Red Cross finance committee is lying. The Examiner has thousands of applications for flour. Large numbers of clergymen are also demanding four for their needy parishioners.
 "The general opinion is that a seri- ous offenseehas been committed in sell ing goods entrusted to the committee for free distribution. I advise taking strong action immediately"
 MT. Edgar's reply was as follows: Believing in the good faith of the Red Cross, we unfortunately turned over every dollar of our funds to its agent We therefore have no money to make a legal fight against this shameful ap- propriation, which is indorsed by the national authorities at Washington"
 Mir Edgars mail contains many let teSs from fire and earthquake sufferers complaining bitterly of the treatment accorded them by the citizens commit tee. They declare that every pound of the flour which General Greeley has on hand is badly needed, and that a mig gardly system of furnishing supplies obtains in all quarters. These letters come from illiterate and educated per- sons alike.
