Chicago. Oct. 15.-The Chicago
club Of the American Baseball
league is the champion Of the world.
BY winning Sundays game. s to- 8,
against the local club Of the Nation
al, the Americans earned the right
to float the championship pennant
as well as the pennant of the Amer

Sundays game was the sixth Of the

team, and the crowd which followed
their carriages through crowded
blocks did mot spare their threats In
saying 90.
Comiskey's face was wreathed IN
smiles long before the game was
ever, for the Americans put the VIC
tory in storage In the first two In
nings. When Schultz went out at
first after an abortiye rally and the
great series was over Comiskey
shook hands with such Of his play
ers as he could reach. The others
were fighting to save themselves
from their friends and had no time
for congratulations save pounding
each other on the back.
The crowd seemed loathe to leave

away safely from the hero worship
ping mob. A crowd Of small boys tore
the wire screen from a ticket window
after the game was over and got onto
the field merely to stand on the his
toric ground and share In the excite
ment.
That the victory was fairly earned
one Is shown not only by the fact that
the Americans won four out OF six
games, incidentally making 1t unnec.
essary to play the seventh, but by the
hits and runs. The Americans all told
made % runs compared with IS by the
Nationals. They made 80 base hits as
against 81 for the Nationals. The Ma
tionals made but five errors, COM
pared with fourteen by the Americans.
The latter also made the greater num-
Der Of extra base hits, but the ground
rules made nearly all Of them good
for only two bases.
Among the expert critics Of baseball
II Is generally admitted that to the
American pitchers most Of the credit
IL due. This despite the fact that the
American pitchers have but twenty
six strike outs to their credit against
thirty five for the Nationals. The
Americans gave 10 bases on balls as
against IS by the Nationals. Notwith'
standing tbs, the American pitchers
were effective when hits meant runs,
particularly against such men as
Chance, Schultz, steinfeldt and King.
These men, all consistent 800 hitters,
were all but helpless during most Of
the series. On the other hand the
Americans .populariy called the nit
less wonders" batted more strongly
than their opponents, who during the
season had done the heaviest batting
IN the National League. In stealing
bases the Nationals had q shade over
the Americans. Catchers Killing and
sullivan, who caught the entire series
were both formidable to base runners,
but Of the total of IS bases stolen, the
Nationals got 8.
The grounds were full to bursting
tho gates were closed and the play
was begun at AIS o'clock Completely
encircllne the grounds was a closely

FIVE DEATHS DUE TO FLOOD
Milldam Breaks, Sending Great
Stream of Water Down the Canyon
to Destroy Property.

Reno, New. - The most disastrous
food in Nevada in many year:
occurred Monday morning in Golcon
da, small town about 200 miles from
here. 1t was caused by the breaking
of the large dam in Pole Creek can
yon, three miles above the sheep-shear
ing corral of the Golconda Cattle com
pany. Five men were drowned ane
several are badly injured.
When the dam broke an immense
volume of water poured down the can
yon, carrying everything before it.
When it struck the strengthening
coral there were a number of men al
work, and all of these were carried
away with the flood.
Not a building or fence of the Con
conda Cattle company was left stand
ing.
The track of the Southern Pacifis
railroad was undermined a mile west
of the town, and all trains are eigh,
to IL hours late.
The dead are: Three Mexican sheel
shearers; a Chinese cook, and one In
dian boy. All were employed by the
Golconda Cattle company.

DISLIKE INSPECTION BILL.
Enemies of the Measure Confer to
Frame Substitute for the
Beveridge Rider.

Washington. - The enemies of the
Beveridge bill for inspection of the
operations of meat-packing houses
were very active on Wednesday, Mos
CT the day was spent in conferences
the purpose of which was to frame
amendments to the Beveridge bill OF
perhaps a substitute for it that will
mees the approval OF the packers anc
rot injure the business of the cattle
raisers. Prominent in these confer
ences were Representative William
Lorimer of Chicago, Chairman Wads
worth of the house committee on agri
culture, and Representative Henry o
Texas, representing cattle interests.
Just how far the negotiations anon.
these gentlemen have progressed is no,
known, but it is stated that the propo.
sition framed as a result of them will
be submitted to the packers for thei
approval before it's provisions are
made public. If the packers approve
the proposition the presumption is that
the amendments or substitute will be
pressed upon the house.
What the effect of such action will
be cannot be conjectured at this stage
1t might cause the president to make
good his threat to publish the confiden-
tial report of Messrs. Neill and Rey-
nolds upon conditions existing in the
Chicago stockyards.

RIVER RISES AND RECEDES
Phenomenon Is Witnessed at Racine,
When Water Fills Basin for
Thirty Seconds.

Racine, Wis.-Seiches swept up both
rivers Wednesday, and as result, the
pOntoon bridge crossing the river at
Main street was badly damaged.
According to stories told at the docks
the water rose three to five feet, partly
carrying away timbers on the south
end of the structure, so that it cannot
be closed.
The government tug Industry collid-
ed with the swing part of the bridge
and did more damage.
For more than a week the water in
the river has been eight inches below
normal, showing evidence of disturb
arces on the lake and from the fact
that northeastern squalls have been
prevalent. At six o'clock the water
had receded to about Is inches below
normal. Then the waves came in with
current of about ten miles and
smashed the bridge.
The water remained stationery for
about 30 seconds and then rapidly re-
ceded, becoming normal

IRISH LEADER DEAD.
Blood Poisoning Due to Operations on
Jaw Cause Demise of Mich
ael Davitt.

Dublin. A notable career closet
Wednesday night, when after a long
and painful illness, Michael Davitt
died peacefully and painlessly a
II o'clock, in the presence of his
oldest son Michael, and his two daugh
tiers, who had devotedly attended hin
through his illness, and many of his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon.
The greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society during
Mr. Davitt's illness. Wednesday the
hospital was besieged by anxious in
quirers. John e. Redmond, leader of
the Irish party in parliament, was 9
frequent inquirer by telephone from
the house of commons and gave up his
proposed continental trip over the
Whitsuntide holidays owing to the
condition Of his friend, the father Of
the Irish Land league. After rally
Tuesday night, Mr. Davitt was able tc
speak to those at his bedside, but soor
showed that he was losing ground.
Mr.. Davitt retired from the repre-
sentation of South Mayo in parliament
in 1899, but to the last took keen in.
terest in the politics of his country.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations for ne.
crosis of the jaw BONE and spread sc
rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course were unavailing. Mr.. Davitt'!
illness began with an insidious attack
of toothache, to which he paid no at
tention until John Dillon urged him te
have recourse to medical advice.
For some time there were hopes fol
his recovery, but the state of his
health which was undermined by ex-
ertions at the recent general elections
greatly handicapped his progress.

MADRID - The public rejoicings
over the marriage of King Alfonso and
Princess Victoria had a terribly dra-
matte sequel at $3.50 o'clock Thursday
afternoon, as bomb thrown from an
upper window exploded with deadly
effect near the coach occupied by the
king and queen. Providentially King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria escaped
when an electric wire DETECTED the
bomb, but at least sixteen persons,
most of them belonging to the per-
sonal and military escorts, were kill.
ed. Many others were injured.
Several of those killed were stand
ing on the balcony of the house from
which the bomb was thrown. The ex-
plosion occurred just as the royal
couple was about to enter the palace.
The route of the cortege had been di.
verified from Arsenal street to Mayor
street, owing to the popular desires.
The procession had just passed
through Mayor street and was about
to turn into the esplanade leading to
the palace when an explosion shook
the the buildings in the vicinity, stun
ming large number of people and
throwing the cortege into inextricable
confusion.
The royal coach was brought to a
sudden stop by the shock, officers and
soldiers of the escort falling to the
ground about the equerry and horses
that had been killed The screams of
the terrified multitude mingled with
The groans of the dying 1t was i'm
mediately seen that the royal coach was
intact except as it has been damaged
by flying splinters. King Alfonso i'm
mediately alighted and assisted Queen
Victoria out of the carriage. They
then entered another coach and were
driven swiftly to the palace.
All this happened so quicly that
people from the immediate vicinity
we're not aware of the tragedy and
continued to acclaim their sovereigns.
Soon, however, there appeared the
empty royal coach with two horses
missing and the others spattered with
blood. The grooms and drivers look
ed deathly pale in their spangled uni
forms. Then came boy shouting that
bomb had been thrown at the king.
LONDON-A dispatch from Madrid
says that 1t was an Italian anarchist
who threw the bomb at the carriage
of the king and queen of Spain and
that after the explosion he committed
suicide. Another dispatch says that
the assassin is named Mateo Moral
and that he has escaped.

ANARCHISTS TEAR UP FLAG
Reds Cheer Action of Man Who Seizes
Emblem from Child and
Destroys 1t.

Chicago. - While a large part of
the population Of Chicago was pay
ing its respects to the national en-
blem and the men who fought to
save it, 500 anarchists gathered at
a memorial meeting for the ex-
ecuted anarchists and cheered when a
small national flag was snatched from
the hand of a child who had wandered
into the meeting, torn into bits and
thrown on the floor.
The insult to the American flag was
the chief incident OF the meeting which
marked the first Chicago appearance of
Berkmann. With Emma Goldman, the
high priestess of the anarchists, he di-
yided the applause as chief speaker of
the day.
