probably Harvard. The only chance for
followers Of the game to see the Aslatics

parture from the intended plan and come
south to Washington to meet George
town. With the exception of the men
toned game the farthest south that the
team will play Is at Princeton.
That the Jap nine will be we'll able

fact that the team has not only been
very successful in the games in which
it played against teams which went from
this country, but since coming to Amer
lea has won a majority OF the games

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Though the performance of the Ma
tionals during the early part of last week
was such as to cause the belief that the
team Of this year was intent on follow
ing In the wake of its predecessors
start with a rush and then fall down to
nothing-the team standing this morn
ing. showing it to have won as many
games as it has lost, proves it to have
done better to date than at any similar
time in recent years.
The last time Washington team has
had a percentage Of 500 after the season
under Jake Stahl, the team upset all cal
culations and for a time led the pennant
race Not since then has the team been
as prominent in the race as It is today.
and when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that the twelve games it has
played have been with the three eastern
teams supposed to be decidedly stronger
than the western contingent, the show
ing is a splendid one. Seven of the
twelve, games. too, have been on foreign
grounds.
There is now, to say the least, a fair
chance for the Nationals to return home
with as many games won as they have
lost to their credit, condition which has
existed here on but few occasions since
this city has been represented in a major
league.
But what is most encouraging Is the
fact that there are reasons for believing
that the team has not been playing up
to its real standard this spring. To begin
with. the hitting has been decidedly
light. Conceding that McAleer's team is
not blessed with much batting strength.
there is no doubt that 1t can hit better
than 1t has. Then, too, there were two
games lost by Walter Johnson which if
he had been himself would have proven
easy victories. for enough runs were
scored in these gameS to win his average
game. When all these things are con-
sidered the Nationals have done splen-
didly to date, and II they will finish with
as good a percentage as they have this
ers OF the sport will have been realized.
Having shown 80 well against the three
strong eastern teams at a time when the
team has not been going as well as it
tionals will upset all calculations this
year. They should make a splendid show
ing in the west this spring II they i'm
prove as they should. for, excepting De-
troit. none Of the teams there have
shown much. though of course 1t is not
q reliable thing to dope base ball be-
fore the games are played. At any rate,
the prospects are brighter than they have
been for years In this neck OF the woods.
No one here has pennant aspirations and
the populace would be well satisfied in
deed to have q team represent this city
which can win as many games as 1t
loses. That would mean q percentage OF
500, and unQuestionably a position at
the head Of the second division, If not
at the bottom of the first.

WORK WILL SOON

Conditions Will Return to Normal After the COrO-
 ner's Investigator

Banner mines will soon settle down to the dull monotonous routine of giv- ing forth coal. The only remaining duties to be performed before the mine is again in good shape is for the cor- oner and his jury to inspect the mlne and some few repairs to be made
 Erskine Ramsay, vice president and chief engineer of the company, went to Banner yesterday to look after some details of getting the mine cleared up, and will return today. Officials out there will see to 1t that affairs are straightened as rapidly as possible. The coroner's jury whose work will be d thorough and official probe into the disaster will soon assemble. They may attend session at Banner today all though this has not been announced
 It was stated yesterday that 12S men lost their lives at the mine. caused hy black powder becoming ignited and that the mine was free of any bodies of both men and mules. There will be some work to clear up the debris, but this is not expected to require any great amount of, work.
 President George B. Mccormack of the Pratt company, said yesterday he was especially well pleased with the panel for jurymen as drawn by Cor oner Bra asher, which would have the duty of looking into the cause of the accident. e E "They are all men who know min ing and what precautions should be taken" he said yesterday.

C, H. MARKHAM|S IS
 VERY OPTIMISTIC President of Illinois Central Spends a Few Hours
 in the City

Accompanied by a party of officers President Charles Markham of the Hi nois Central and other railroads, paid a visit to Birmingham yesterday He ar rived at o'clock on a special train from Savannah and remained in Birmingham about six hours. The officials went to East Thomas, where the shops of the company were looked over and where the gross freight for the company is handled They seemed to be well pleased with the work being handled there and expressed the faith that as time rolled on the various details would become less complex and that every unit of the organization would 3ccome even and smooth.
 ' President Markham, since becoming head of the Illinois Central and other Hartman interests has been busy making Inspections, and on one of them he found a brother long thought dead whom he carried to Chicago. He is getting in touch with the various details of the work and seems to be growing even more op- timistic than J.. T. Harahan, whom he succeeded at the head of the Illinois Central.
 While talking here yesterday MT. Mark. ham said that business was exceptionally good and that indications pointed to strong and continual growth as the sea son advanced.
 .There is to the everyday observer an apparent fact that iron and coal trade is dull,,' said Mir. Markham. However, that does not lessen the fact that business from this center is good. That is point upon which Birmingham may well be con graduated, a release from a certain de- pendency upon any commodity. Such condition is positive indication of diver sification as valuable as anything I know.
 There seems to be perfect harmony in the ranks of our companies. I cannot see any indications that there will be any changes There have been a few on the ocean line, but none of any serious con selves with rare absence of friction and we look for fine result The south as whole is in good shape and will be in even better condition as the season grows and the crops begin to move. That will take time and will net the railroads a fine rev enue."
 Mir Markham said he was pleased to Dc again in Birmingham and had not lost sight of the great industrial advancements that lie noted here on a recent visit. He said Birmingham had destiny which cannot be estimated and that he was in fer the further advancement of so fine district and city.
 He left yesterday at noon for Chicago.

 PAINFULLY HURT

Miss Georgia Newell of 2124 Avenue q was painfully but not. seriously injured yesterday morning at Avenue B and Nine teenth street south by a fall. It seems that Miss Newell was walking across the street where they were making some re- pairs and she stumbled on some rails and fell to the ground. Her head struck another rail- knocking her unconscious. She was removed to her home in Shaw & Sons ambulance, where medical at tention was called It proved that her injuries were slighter than at first thought as 1t was believed that her skull had been fractured. This was not the case. Miss Newell is an employe of the West ern Union Telegraph company.

CHAMBER PASSES
 THE CANAL MATTER
Referred to Directors for
 Final Disposition
BOWIE MAKES REPORT
Says Owing to Strenuous Effort the Revenue Bill as Passed Is Satisfactory-Membership
 Committee Thanked

The canal project was a second time passed by the Chamber of Commerce at their regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon, in this instance for want of time. The matter was referred back to the board of directors for final disposi- ton at special meeting of that body to be called by the president of the chamber.
 It was expected that the chamber would commit itself as sponsor for the proposition yesterday afternoon, but it happened that the favorable report of the special canal committee to the board of directors was carried over for consid eration to the regula- meeting of the chamber so as not to delay the principal meeting of the afternoon by prolongng the session of the board of directors which preceded.
 The report on the investigation of the canal scheme was made to the chamber by J. B. Gibson taking the place of Maj. +. Y. Anderson, chairman of the special committee. His report, which was but a brief outline of the same report he made to the board of directors, was heard by the gathering but on account of the late ness of the hour referred back to the directors, who will give it final con- sideration in the near future.
 The report of the legislative commit tee, made by Sidney J. Bowie, chairman, was heard with much interest by the body, inasmuch as it had to do with the revenue bill, which has in part evoked the strenuous opposition of the chamber to it's passage and enactment
 The chairman informed the members that after it's modification the revenue bill has on the whole no unjust or oppres- sive measures, and that such is due to the fight of the Chamber of Commerce assisted by other business organizations over the state. He stated that the 60 per cent clause, though not satisfactory to all classes of taxpayers, will afford working basis for final equalization; that the insurance clause has been modified so as to suit the mercantile interests, and that the exemption of bank deposits from taxation when generally known would induce depositors to replace their money in the banks and the credit basis would be increased and conditions gen orally bettered.
 Following this report of the legislative committee, which was only partial review of the notifications made in the revenue bill, the chamber next heard the report of the membership committee in regard to their recent campaign for new members. The report showed that 129 ad- ditional parties have become identified with the organization through the efforts of the committee. When the report was heard the chamber gave rising vote of thanks to the membership committee for their time and effort for the good of the chamber.
 The report of the canal committee fol- lowed that of the membership commit tee, and after it had been referred to the board of directors for final disposi- ton the meeting adjourned.

They readily agreed to chas- tise the boys. The reason that 1t was to be done in the presence of the officer was to have assurance that their prom
