BARNES AND ATHERToN.

Springfield. May 2s.--Jim Barnes was able to announce yesterday that there no longer exists any doubt that he will be at the proper weight when he steps on the scales tonight, pre- vious to his match with Ed Atherton for the middleweight championship of the world. Barnes weighed last night before several of his friends, who stated that he didn't budge the beam when it was placed at the mid dleweight scale. 15s pounds. The bar was then let down and Barnes scaled just a bit over l56 pounds.
 Barnes says that when he tackled Atherton before he was careless in thinking he could make the weight easily and that he didn't begin to drop flesh gradually enough. He found then he couldn't get down to i5s pounds without weakening him. self and preferred to let his forfeit money go rather than take any chances on losing the match. For to- night he says he is in as good shape as at any time in his career and that he believes he has al least an even chance of taking the middleweight honors from the champion.

BAGLEY MAY GO.

Holyoke, May 29.-The officers of the Holyoke baseball club came to terms yesterday morning with Thom- as J. Dowd whereby Dowd becomes manager of the Holyoke team to suc- ceed Tom Fleming, who was given his release as manager Saturday ev- ening. Dowd will be with the team Wednesday morning and will take final charge Thursday, after he has watched his baseball pupils of Will Hams college in their game with Am herst Wednesday afternoon. Kid Me- cormack will be the leader in the meantime. There may be change or two at once. President Madsen said last night that Dowd will play in the outfield. probably the left. A to Fleming's remaining with the club as a player. he would prophecy noth- ing. saying the question will he up to Dowd. and Dowd alone SO soon as he takes charge. IT Dowd takes the left field job 1t probably will mean re- leases for either Lepine or Bagley. and there is reason to suppose that 1t will be for Bagley. He has not been hitting well this season, and as Le- pine is a first baseman rather than an outfielder 1t is wholly probable that he will be shifted to the infield.

PAWNEE BILL COMING

Yawnee Bill has with him this year
the most prominent Indian chief alive.
1t is no less a parsonage than Geronimo,
the murderous old Sioux chief whose
capture cost the United States over $2,-
miles by nearly 1000 government troops,
under Captain Lawton. Geronimo is
still prisoner Of war and always will
be until called TO the happy hunting
ground. Through his influence with the
Sioux Indians, and his good standing
with the government, Pawnee Bill sue
ceeded in securing him for trip over the
country with his exhibition this year 1t
will be the last time that the old chief
will be allowed to leave the reservation
at Fort Sill. Geronimo has with him his
entire family. which includes his eighth
wife, to whom he was married last De-
cember. No one can tell, and no oneT
knows the exact age of Geronimo, but he
modestly admits being past ninety, but
General Miles claims that he is over o.e
hundred years. He is still as straight
as an arrow and as active as many of
the much younger men of his tribe. He
enters into the Indian dances, games and
pastimes with childish delight, but is
happiest when fighting over his former
battles. the second time in the arena.
Geronimo will be with the Pawnee Bill
show at the Boulevard and st. Pan's
avenue Monday afternoon and night.

Despite the fact that the Sailors got
but four hits to the Skeeters' seven and
made two errors to the latter's one, they
won yesterdays opening game of the
present series by scoring a brace of tall
lies in the seventh inning. 1t was a hard
fought battle and whatever part luck
plays in baseball games it was against
the Skeeters yesterday. They had put
a man over the plate in the fifth round
on Merritt's two-bagger. Grants sacrifice
and Cockmans low throw to first with
two out. The Sailors got their brace of
runs in the seventh round. Foster had
hit for two bases and Gatins had been
retired when Jones slammed the ball
over .sa left field fence for homer. and
sending Foster in ahead of him. Three
of the Skeeters were on bases in the
eighth inning and it looked like their
gone, when the side was retired without
any of them reaching home. Another

A Camden Concern Has Sc
cured the Contract for the
Michigan
THROUGH SENATOR DRYDEN
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AND
OTHER SHIPS WAS AUTHORIz-
ED BY THE NAVAL APPRoPRI-
ALTON OF 1905

WASHINGTON, July a. 1906.--Sec-
retary Bonaparte announced yesterday
thar after consultation with the Presi-
dent it had been decided to award the
contract for the new battleship South
Carolina to William Cramp & Sons, OF,
Philadelphia, and that for the Michigan
to the New York Shipbuilding Company,
of Camden. n. j. The Cramp bid was
SO, $4,000 and the New York Company's
bid was $3,5S5,OO0. The law provides
that only one ship shall be built by one
concern.
Senator Dryden, as soon as the bids
had been received, bestirred himself to
see that no technical or other obstacle
should be interposed to prevent the
award of one of the battleships to New
Jersey. The question of installing tur-
bine engines had been seriously brought
up. and if that type could have been
adopted for the new ibattleships the
award of one ship would in all proba-
bility have gone to Massachusetts. The
result of Senator Dryden's efforts is graf
flying to himself and to his State.
The Navy Department is not bound to
accept the lowest bid, other conditions
being considered. But if turbines had
been adopted bid for the whole con-
struction work, including engines, could
have been made by a Massachusetts firm
lower than a bid by the Shipbuilding
Company at Camden in this State. Pres
ident Roosevelt is the referee in all such
cases. and the President decided in this
case.
Construction of these ships was au-
thorized by the naval appropriation act
of 1905, but because of the departments $
indecson as to plans bids We're only re-
Gently invited. The ships will displace
10000 tons each and will carry main
battery composed only of Pinch guns
Announcement was also made that the
report Of the Board on Construction
against turbine engines on either Of the
battleships had been approved and recip-
rocating engines only would be installed.
The department was strongly inclined to
contract for one ship with turbines, but
available information of the performance
of turbines in large ships was held not
to warrant the experiment in ship so
vital to the national defense as a
16,00O-ton battleship.
The Navy Department will closely
watch the development Of the turbine,
and within the year will gain valuable
comparative data from the trials of three
scout ships of identical type, which alT
to be fitted. respectively, with recipro-
eating engines, the Parsons turbine and
the Curtis turbine.

U. S. SENATORIAL
ELECTIONS
Conference to Be Held In
Des Meines to Discuss the
Method ofsSelection
NEW JERSEY SENDS FIVE MEN
EVERY STATE IS INVITED TO
TAKE PART IN THE DELIBER-
ATIONS

New Jersey will be entitled to five
delegates at the conference called hy
Governor Cummins. of Iowa, at Des
Moines on September 55 next These
delegates will be appointed by Governor
Stokes, and they will represent New
Jerseys attitude on the question of the
popular election of United States Sena-
tor
The Des AIoines conference is a politi-
cal event of great Importance. 1t may
result in completely overriding the sem
ate of the United States, and in estab-
fishing a new method of choosing sena-
tors in spite of that body. The Caasti-
tuition, article 5, provides that on the apF
plication of the legislatures of two-thirds
of the several states, congress shall cal
convention for proposing amendment
to that document. and these shall bes
come valid when they shall be ratified
"by the legislatures Of thTee-fourths d
the several states, or by conventions il
three-fourths thereof, as the one or tht
other mode of ratification may be pro-
posed by congress"
Thirty-two State legislatures have al
different times signi6ed to Congress theH
desire that steps be taken TO amend thl
constitution and provide for the pnpussz
election of Senator's. But this is moi
strong enough; the LesislsSpEss 5asnst aP,

gress that a constitutional scanvention bi
called. and then Congress VIII have az

Every state in the Union is invited II
send delegates to Des Moines. The con

have no authority except to discuss, sug

proposed amendment, but it will have s
great moral influence. if two-thirds

Nearly a dozen states may now IL
said to elect their senators BY, popular
vote The people ballot--as they did {,
few weeks ago in Oregon and the legis
latures vote for the popular choice.
But this method does not seem to fully
comply with the popular demand, since
each Legislature may or may not vote a.

constitutional amendment will fxe the
matter to the entire satisfaction of a
large number of ciizens, and the confer
ence in Iowa next September is looked
forward to with profound interest. Il
may give such new and positive im-
| petus to the popular election sentiment
that Legislatures favorable to the change
may be elected in enough States to make
the amendment imperative.

The Beasts have now one more bame to
