While Mexico was per- fectly willing to allow the northern republic the right to maintain two coalIng barges in territorial waters, the government cannot see it's way clear to grant such privileges on land.

NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT
 RACE IS GROWING EXCITING

One of the most exciting races in history for the National League pen nant, took on added interest yesterday by the drawing still closer together of the clubs in the three cornered con test.
 The New York team. fresh from clean. sweep of the series in Pittsburg and a run of seven consecutive vic tories. which had put them in the lead in the race. met with a check in Chicago. where the champions gave them a decisive beating. At the same time the Pittsburg team won hotly contested game from Philadelphia and with Chicago moved up a little closer to New York. This morning the lead CTS have a margin of twenty-three points over Plttsburg. while the lat ter team is but two points ahead of Chicago.
 Base ball enthusiasts believing that the present series in the two cities will have probably a decisive bearing on the outcome of the pennant race. are worked up to fever heat.
 Intense interest in the play is mani- festei in all parts of the country and even beyond its borders. How wide spread is the hold of the national game in it's present exciting phase Is indi- cated by the demand from the island of Cuba, for instance, of all particulars from the games, full box scores of the series between the leaders being cabled by the Associated Press to Havana.

TEARS DOWN TENTS
SOLDIERS EXECUTE ORDER OF GOV.
 ERN0R CONFER.
Union Men Not Allowed to Hive Win
 Families in the Open---<aulet in the Strike s District.

Birmingham. Aug. 27. 27.--(Specsai.)- Acting under orders from Governor Co., mer. company of soldiers today cut down the tents of the union men at Republic Mines. No resistance was made when the soldiers cut the guy ropes and let the tented city fall fiat.
 Action was taken following de- mand on the sstrikers to vacate. The tents had recently been erected to shell ter the men who were forced to leave the company houses at Republic.
 SimilaE action, 1t Is declared, will be taken all through the district. in acs cordance with the recent order of Gov. ernor Conner that such tent camps would be prohibited on the ground of improper sanitation and no police pro- lection.
 Where the evicted strikers will go to find shelter is a question that no one seems able to answer. They cannot live in the houses of the mine com panies having been forced out when the mines became idle. If not permit. ted to make themselves shelter, 1t is a problem to consider what the are to do, especially with the approach of win ter.
 No developments in the strike situ- ation are expected until Friday morn ing when W. R. Fairley returns from Indianapolis where he has been in con ference with President Levin and Vice. President White, of the United Mine Workers.
 A special from Indianapolis received late Thursday was to the effect that the three were still In conference be- hind closed doors and that nothing was to be given out. President Lewis was reported as declaring that the strike had not been called off. and that the saw no reason why 1t should be called nNT o& an effort, to gain a conference with the Alabama operators, and failing In this there was nothing to do but continue the fight.
 This dispatch did not have the de- preceding effeet-expected, as it has never been believed that an official order eali- ing of the strike would be issued. old timers remember how things happened In 1904 and iS93 when conditions sim- liar to those of today existed. It is recalled that three days after John Mitchell stated he would light out the strike if it took $3,00c.o00 to, do It, Mitchell issued an order calling the strike off.
 The impression prevails that the first step will be the cutting of of pro- visions which the headquarters are fur nishing the strikers, and when this is done the strike will virtually have end ed. With no food and no shelter. if Governor Corners orders are carried out 1t would be folly for the union men to try to subsist without work.
 Practically no violence was noted in the strike zone, a few minor personal difficulties being all there was to mar the peacefulness of the scene. The order of the last few days leads to the fhope that the bulk of the trouble | Is over, and that whatever violence Is hereafter committed will be in cases where individuals are involved. and not In the arnbuscades of deputies and sol- diers which marked the beginning of | the trouble.

CLIMBERS WIN ! OPENING GAME Keith Knocked Out in
 First. TWO HOME RUNS FOR HOPKINS Krebs Shows Up in Big League
 Class. Guese Was Effective Except in Third Innins When Traveller. Punched Three Hits--CIimberx In Bat
 ting Clothes.

Little Rock. Ark. Aug. 27- (SpecfaD--Piling up a safe lead in the first inning of the opening game of the series. the Climbers had little trouble In defeating the Travellers to- day, batting Keith out of the box In the first Inning and treating Eyler but little better.
 Guese was effective except Tn the third inning. when the home guard punched three hits. one a homer by Speaker for a total of three runs, all that the visitors allowed Ffnn's bunch in the entire nine sessions. As a re- suit the score at the end was 10 to g.
 Keith. the southpaw who but a few days ago let New Orleans down without run and with but one hit, essayed to pitch the game. but he lasted only long enough to get his name into the score.
 Persons the first man up. went out on line drive to Connors Hopkins then lifted home run into the right weaker. Reagan singled cleanly Ito center and Greminger scored him with Q clean two-bagger to left. Captain Bob Wood then hoisted the white flag and Eyler was called in to stem the Krehs poixed lucky two-bagger into rixht field and GremtnGer scored. Rock enfield advanced Krebs to third on an -AiiCA4 VdNf AACSS tO (OnnoIH, put when Pepe's grounder gut. away from Hess, krebs scored. Hart filed to Speaker and after Pope had gone to third on an error by Hess and a wild pitch, end- ing the inning.
 The Climbers came back in the sec- ond. thirsting for more blood and added another pair of runs. Guese lifted a fly to Speaker to open, but after Per- sons had looked over three strikes, Hopkins smashed out his second home run, this time the drive being a clean smash to deep center Reagan tripied to center and when Grimm dropped Greminger's high infie1d fly Reagan trotted home.
 In tho latter innings Eyler was fair- iy effective. but the damage had been done. On the other hand, Guese was pitching piastcrly ball. Speakers homo run drive-the longest hit ever seen on the local grounds--alone keeping him from getting shut-out.
 In the third inning Eyler singled to- open the inning and after Grimm foul sd of eighteen successive balls. he walk ed. Speaker the drove a hit into deep right field. tho ball bounding over the high fence on the first bound, clearing the bases.
 Thereafter the lo-als had no chancs to score. Connors hit in the ninth. be- ing the only safety registered of Guese in the last six innings.

PREPARING NEW BRIEFS.
Frank B. Kellogg Working on Standard
 OH Case.

St. Paul Minn., Aug. 27.-Frank B. Kellogg. special counsel for the De- nartment of Justice. who for the past few weeks has been busy in St. Paul, nreparinR new briefs in the prosecu- . tion of the Standard Oil Company. will wind up this branch of the work to- morrow.
 On Sunday MT Kellogg will go to New York where on Thursday next. the hearing in this historical case will be resumed before Judge Franklin Ferris. the special examiner appointed by the United States Circuit Court of appeals for this circuit. The business at this hearing will be the taking of further testimony for the defendants. which was suspended several weeks ago.
 The work in St. Paul has been con- fined exclusively to the preparing of briefs Some idea of' the magnitude of this work may be derived from the fact that the governments published testimony alone thus far fills six bound volumes some 500 pages each, which will be followed by four vol tunes now In the printers hand de- voted to exhibits.

A FEW FOUL TIPS

Another srrorless game.
 Eylcy got some of the same.
 Hub Hart has struck his stride now. Hopkins's bat was working over time.
 whitey evidently slowed down in the third.
 That pair of kids from Guifport look pretty good from here.
 Eastman. Buchanan and Ross Helm left against Thomas, Bliss, Juul and Lively. That don't look bad.
 Thomas in today against Eastman or Helm. Third place probably hinges a fight to a finish between Nashville and Memphis. tsF

 Jack PfeIster beat wiltse and the Giants yesterday. while the Pirates National League leaders about s5 points apart. St. Louis took doub le- header from Boston and is pretty close to the Tigers in the American League race.
 Yesterday made thirty one. games that the Climbers have played since Greminger took charge. They have played twelve on the road, won eight and lost four; played nineteen at home. won fourteen, lost four and tied one. Altogether they have won twenty. two, lost eight and tied one out of thirty. one games played.
 If Ed Hurlburt Is with Nashville, as reported, then Bernhard has sixteen men, unless he suspends Jack Hardy, who is on the hospital list. If Mont gomery gets over the limit it takes but few moments for the whole Western push to yelp 1t out. It was in Memphis that Jimmy Ryan was dumped because ne ndu several men on the hospital liSI. It will be interesting to watch what Babb does about the Nashville case to- day.
 The biggest joke of the season Is the way in which several papers round the circuit have swallowed the bait about Mike Finn refusing $7,50O for Speaker because he had promised him to Bos- ton. Triss Speaker Is a farm hand of Boston's, to be turned back to them at the end of the Southern League sea. son. and ne could not sell him any where else If he wanted to.
