Five out OF Ave from New York
three out OF five from Boston; two out
Of four from the Athletics-now for
Washington
The Tigers moved on the capital
city OF the nation last night and are
scheduled to open there today. Bill
Burns has been taking a long rest and
will be undoubtedly turned loose on
the Champs. Ed. Killian is pretty
sure to oppose and the inevitable
south-paw duel shapes up In a way
that is pretty hard TO read. However
the Senators, aside from a pitching
stan which is probably as good as
anything in the world, don't stack up
for much alongside the Tigers. WITH
THE TWIRLERS OF BOTH THE
COMPETING TEAMS GOING WELL.
THE TIGERS HAVE A BIG EDGE IN
HITTING AND ANOTHER IN TEAM
WORK, ON THE BASES. IN THE
FIELD AND AT THE BAT.
Come 10 think, II behooves us to get
ready TO welcome our brave lads TO
their home field. Washington enter
.ains them today. tomorrow and Thurs
day. They are due for a game In
cleveland Friday-their final appear
ance Of the year in the home of the
Maps. On Friday all the enthusiasm
hat has been pent up since the team
.ook the road on its successful dash
.or the lead will have an opportunity
20 burst out, when the Tigers strike
Bennett Park and take the field with
Elberfeld's New Yorks.
Yesterdays game allowed Wild Bill
Donovan to once more reassure his
friends that hts arm is quite we'll
hank you.
Whenever Bill loses game away
rom the gaze of the home faithful
they begin 10 worry Bill wins so
regularly that few of the rooters can
imagine team beating him IL he is
tight.
The moment an opposition nine
strikes one of the few lucky bat
ting days that come with Bill In
the box, the home contingent be,
gins to wonder II Bill has thrown
out that delicate heaving appar-
atus Of his. When, as happened
In his last two appearances pre-
cedina yesterday, Bill is trimmed
twice running, the Detroit fans 90
cackIing about like so many hens
In panic.
Just think Of il! Why Bill has
been beaten twice in successionl
and up to that time he'd been win
ming every game he pitched!
Help! Also, adieu fond hope OF
pennant!
But, as on so many occasions In the
past when the fears OF nervous pub
&c have been voiced over the king OF
Fingers. Bill comes back and resumes
his place in the winning list again.
Like the half back in hard-fought
football game who. after being knock
ed down, sponged of, and tenderly
helped to his feet. staggers back into
position and then crashes through the
opposing tackle for 20-yard gain,
Bill. makes good once more with
rush.
8 Yesterday he went into the battle
With Eddie Plank, the hardest south
paw In the league to beat with one
possible exception. and handed the
Athletics 4 TO l licking that was
even bigger than IL sounds. In but
,ne inning was he hit consecutively
20 any extent and long drive by
Hartsel that had an element OF con-
Siderable luck about 1t, had to inter-
gene to make scoring possible at that.
As the Tigers had given Bill lead
Of two runs and the Athletics scored
but one, it will be readily seen that
Bill was winning handily all the way.

That the thriving town of Hermis-

of Hermiston Commercial association

London, Mar. 10.-In order to save
China from humiliation either from
war or diplomacy England has step
ped into the breach between Japan
and China.
An intimation, which is believed
will be sufficient, has been conveyed
TO England's ally, Japan, that war
between Japan and China at this
time would be very displeasing to
Great Britain.
The note was very carefully pen
ned so as not to offend Japan, but
is believed that Japan would not con-
slider going to war without at least
an entirely neutral stand on the part
Of England.
Japan will now probably be more
lenient in her demands. News from
Toxic this morning is of very alarm
ing character. 1t is thought that the
note came just in time to stop an
armed demonstration on the part Of
the japanese.

ORCHARD PLEADS
GU|lTYT0M MURDER
WITHOUT A TREMOR SAYS
HE KILLED STEUNENBERG
Made Plea With Full Understanding
That This Act Would Compel Court
TO Impose Sentence OF Death Upon
Him-Sentence Will Be Passed on
March 1S-Plea Made Within Sight
of Spot Where Murder Was Com
mitted Two Years Ago.

Caldwell, Ida, Mar 10.-Harry Or
chard stood up in the district court
today and plead guilty to the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
He did so with the full understand
ing that this act would compel the
court to impose a sentence of death
upon him. When the court finished
this explanation he was asked: "And
now what is your plea, Mr.. Orchard ?"
Guilty" your honor" answered
Orchard without a tremor.
Judge Wood, who presided in place
of Judge Ryan, because the latter
was disqualified, having at one time
acted as Orchards attorney set the
date for the passing of sentence as
March IS. Orchard was then re-
turned to the Boise penitentiary.
Orchard plead guilty to the Steun-
enberg murder within sight of the
spot where the act was committed.
The Steunenberg home is but short
distance from the court house.
Two years ago, when Orchard was
first called to answer to the charge
of numbering Steunenberg, he refused
to plead and the court entered a plea
of not guilty for him at that time.
Today's proceedings were purely
formal and when Orchard had COM
pleted the change in his plea, were
completed.

San Francisco, Mar. 10:-One of the
most startling affidavits in the list Of
surprising documents that has been
made public since the inception Of
the fight against graft in San Fran
cisco, will be filed today when Fran
els ]. Heney will submit his answer
to the recent affidavit Of Abraham
Ruef in which Heney is charged
with duplicity and subterfuge and
corrupt practices by the ex-boss.
The document reviews the methods
of the defense and in caustic legal
language Heney points Ruef out as a
monumental liar and asserts duplicity
on the part of Ruef's attorneys.
Heney has spent considerable time
on the affidavit in order that he
Nigh; completely cover the charges
made against the prosecution by
Ruefs attorneys during the last few
months.
Some of the most important points
raised by Heney are: That Ruef was
never primised complete immunity
from punishment, but was given to
that he must accept a
sentence for extortion; that ex-super-
visors Wilson and Gallagher APP
preached Ruef while the latter was
at ST. Francis and discussed immuni-
ty with him without the knowledge
Of Langdon or Heney; that Rabbi
Nieto declares that he believed that
Heney should receive some punish
nent for his crimes and that he
agreed that Heney should retain the
power to sentence Ruef at any time
should he fail to keep his agree
nent.
That to Heney, Ach, Ruef's counsel,
admitted that Ruef did not have
,hance TO escape conviction in some |
If the bribery charges, and that he
Urged Ruef to accept the best that he
'ould get from the prosecution; that !
Ach demanded that his part in ad- /
Using Ruef to turn states evidence |
,e kept a secret forever as it would .
,urt him professionally.
That habeas corpus proceedings |
gainst the elisorship of Biggy were
because Ruef feared that
ome assasslns hired by the higher
lps' might kill him in order to pre-
'ent him testifying, if he was placed
n custody of Sheriff O'Neil. Heneys
principal point is that during the en-
ire negotiations with Ruef, complete
was never promised.

Bartlett, attorney for Mrs. William

repugnant to her and that II a di-
vorce was desired II was on the part Of
Evelyn.
He hlnted mysterlously at merce-

brewing scandal. Previously to this
It had been generally understood that
1t was the Thaws who were agitating

Bartletts statement provoked a hot

China Wants Definite Word.

Pekin, Mar. 10.--Japan has given
notice to Yuan Shi Kai, foreign
councillor, that two days more are
given to surrender the steamer Tatsu
Maru. Nothing is said as to Japan's
course of action at the end of that
time if China does not comply, but
the inference is that she will use
force.
China has no objections to the sur
render of the vessel, but wants a
promise from Japan that the latter
government will take hand in stop
ping the sale of Japanese arms to the
Chinese rebels.
