Gardiner FiVe===
Winthrop Four.

Gardiner defeated Winthrop in Trolley
League game on Quimby field Saturday
afternoon by the score of 5 to L. The
score indicates that it was a fast and
srappy game, but such was not the case.
as Gardiner was never in doubt of the
game and was in the lead all through the
zine innings.
E. Moore of Gardiner was pitted against
Dostie of Winthrop for pitching honors
and the Gardiner boy easily carried off
tie hOnors, striking out six men to Dos
ties one. He only gave one free pass
while Dostie gave four.

Chinese Burial,

The death of the EmprOr of China
happened far away. both in time and

funeral will find itself in ample time
for the ceremony. The Chinese are
not inclined to hustle. especially when
they are burying an emperor The
successor to the throne must indulge
in 100 days of "unrestrained gritf.'
and the mourning of less acute
nature must continue for another two
years TIL will of the dead monarch
must be carried to the gate of
heavenly rest and there read to the
assembled crowd. When the astrolo-
gers appoint a favorable day the coffin
is taken to the temporary palace OH

accompanied by the new ruler. who .or
twenty-seven days presents fruits and
viands to the deceased. Then the death
name by which his virtues will De

dead man. and when the powers On
high and those on earth have been in
troduced to his late majesty under the
new cognomen he may be removed to
the wooded valley fifty miles from
Peking, where the dead emperors of
the present dynasty repose. The now
emperor goes along with it. or at least
receives it at every hating place on
route. Finally, when food, money ana
clothes have been given to the deceased
he is left in peace. 1t is a long bust

Washington, Aug. 1.-The House
Saturday night adopted the conference
report on the tariff bill. 1875 to 1873. The
Republicans shrieked in their delight
over the final outcome. and Chairman
Payne was the central figure of an ad-
miring and congratulating crowd of
colleagues.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the report and two Democrats for it.
The vote was the climax of an IL
hour session. conducted through most
oppressive heat. but enlivened by
dozen or more speeches of more or less
fiery nature. The temperature did not
deter a vast throng from going to the
Capitol to witness the. closing scene.
The day opened with what appeared
to he part Of an organized filibuster,
against the conference report, when Mr..
Mondell of Wyoming demanded the
reading of the lengthy document. This
reading proceeded for about an hour
and a half when. with about two-thirds
remaining to be read. Mr.. Mondell per-
mitted the debate to go on
Chairman Payne defended the re-
port and appealed to his Republican
at the same time that when the bill
was enacted into law it would meet
with the approval of the country.
Mr.. Clark. the minority leader and
many other of his colleagues denounced
the bill and chastised the Republicans
for failing as they alleged to revise
the tariff downward and thus keep
their party pledges.
Perhaps the most sensational speech
of all was by MIR. Mann of Illinois, Re-
publican. who said he would vote
against the report. provided the rates
on pulp and. print paper as reduced
by the House, were not retained. He
denounced that particular schedule and
declared that Canada would take such
action regarding pulp wood and print
paper as to place an almost prohlbi-
tory price upon print paper in this
country.
At 9.O7 p. M the House. with the
conference report ready to be messaged
to the Senate. adjourned until Monday
noon.

that 40 of the latter have been shot
without trial at the Montjuioh fortress,
among them being Emiiano 1glesis,
editor of Progress, the organ of the Re-
publicans in Barcelona.
The situation in Palamos is report
ed to be alarming and fears are ex-
pressed for the safety of foreigners
there.
Spanish refugees arriving here say
the Carlsts are attempting to take
over the leadership of the movement in
Catalonia and that Don Jaime is eX
pected to place himself at the head of
the rebellion.
The refugees explain that the Gaia
lonians, who are the most industrious
people in Spain. have long complained
against. being exorbitantly taxed ior
the benefit of other regions. and that
the discomfort is deep seated. They
say the Catalonians have not shows
opposition to the war in Morocco. but
only to what they regard as an ex-
petition for the benefit of private in
terests which entails the useless loss OF
life and increased taxation which they
have to pay.
The refugees declare that the lead
ers of the movement have exploited
the discomfort among the people and
have directed the movement against
the monarchy and the church The.
say that Catalonia, formerly the mos,
devout Catholic province in Spain, has
now become the center of free thought

Barcelona, Aug. 1.-Two hundred
leaders of the rebel forces were lined
up against a stone wall Saturday and
shot.
The government troops, as soon as
they got control of the city, hunted
out the leaders and fastened through Il
courtmartial.
AS. a terrible warning these convict
ed leaders We're faced to stone wall
as targets for the soldiers. Although
every section of the city is stained
with blood, this gruesome spectacle
made profound impression.
With one single word of command,
fire." the government sent crush
ing blow at the revolution.
Government troops now command all
of the principal streets, where with
mounted field guns they prevent the
collection of crowds.
The insurgents, however, are still in
possession of hundreds of houses and
are keeping up fire from barred win
dow5 upon the soldiers Unless this
harrassment ceases, the authorities de-
clare they will set fire to every house
in which the revolutionists hold out.
Meeting bridges have been blown up
and the troops are unable to reach the
suburbs. The revolutionists are now
concentrating in the suburbs, and are
erecting barbados of barbed wire.
Scenes In the main part of the city
Saturday resembled those CT the
French Commune of 1871. The police
and soldiers, now that they have the
upper hand are maltreating helpless
victims. Even relatives of wounded
rioters have been arrested as they at
tempted to minister to the injured.
The city has sustained such tremen-
dous physical damage that it will be
months before it can resume it's nor

altogether escaped damage.
