the state department has been asked
as to what course should be pursued
with respect to these shipments and
also with respect to mails destined

No Ruling on Cargoes.
The state department has referred
the latter matter to the postmaster

hitting Tonight it is raining and al

at Bennett Park today and wild rush
ensued. Long lines extended from the
ticket windows and waited for hours

Detroit and Charles Adams for Pitts

Each of these twirlers has won two
games. but poor fielding behind the

feat as he held Pittsburg TO one less
hit than was made by Detroit. Adams
again defeated Detroit in the fifth
game at Pittsburg and this time he
clearly outpiched Summors and VII

In three flights made after shutdown
the success OF the change was fully
demonstrated. The machine few as
