NEW YORK, April 13.-Former
Lieut.. Charles Becker, who was a
companion of the four gunner in the
death house until a month ago, slept
soundly last night in the Tombs, as
they snatched what sleep they could in
their last night on earth.
Becker had read the papers eagerly
all day, scanning them carefully for
any straw that might help his own
case when he is again placed on trial.
At his suggestion. his counsel, Jos.
Shay, had obtained stenographic notes
of the proceedings before Justice Golf
on Saturday and these will be tested

Victory Gives Leaders Wide
Margin in Commercial
League Indoor Baseball
Race for Pennant.
DIGG is A BIG FACTOR
AutOmakers Start Well, But
Fail to Keep Fast Pace
The Ascension Came in the
Fourth Inning.

The A. S. M. Co. nine annexed it's
third consecutive victory Saturday
night, showing under the Pilot crew
by 26-l1 count. This win gives the
Seeders big margin in the Com
mercial league race and at the rate
the team has been going they bid fair
to hold the lead.
Although the first innings of the
game were close, the Pilots could not
maintain the pace set by the leaders.
Neither side had any decided advan-
tage in the first three rounds, as the
American bunch registered II runs in
this time, while the auto-makers fol-
lowed close on their heels with 8
markers to their credit.
The fourth session saw the ascen-
sion Of the Pilot craft. Every man OF
the Seeding combination broke into
the spotlight this frame with hit or
run, while the members of the Pilot
team showed their generous spirit by
donating trio of boots that added to
the route. Nine bingles for a total of
Z runs were gathered this session be-
fore klinger ended the suffering of
the Pilot bunch by getting nailed at
first.
From this time on the Pilot crew
seemed reconciled to their fate and
although they put up game uphill
fight against their more experienced
opponents, they could do nothing in
the scoring line, being unable to con-
meet safely with the delivery of one
particular Diggs, who did the flinging
for the Seeder crowd. But three runs
were scored by the auto-makers in
the four last frames owing to the
tight work Of Diggs, assisted by gcCd
support on the part of his teammates.

MORO castle was the most romantic
and picturesque relic which fell under
my observation. Commanding the
entrance to the inner harbor, a narrow
t~ortuous channel, and sweeping the
outer harbor, 1t looked menacing in
deed. Growing the top of a rock with
turret and battlement built in medieval
style, old MORO was both picturesque
and formidable. On The lower levels

completely shot away; a grim token
Of the prowess of American shells

RUSH TO GOLD FIELDS SIxTY-FIvE
YEARS AGO

This date sixty-fve years ago saw
the departure from what Is now Kan.
sas City of one of the most g%rotesque
and oddly formed expeditions which
ever set sail upon the American plains
the Tennessee-California Travelling
Republic, a peculiar experiment in
altruism having it's origin at Memphis,
Tenn, says a dispatch from Kansas
City. Late in January, 1848, gold was
discovered near Sacramento, Cal, and
the news sped to every part of the
civilized world. Throughout the east
ern and southern states thousands
were fired with an almost insane de-
sire to reach the new Eldorado; but
between the farthest outpost and the
Pacific coast stretched over 1900 miles
of practically uncharted, Indian in.
tested mountain and plain. 1t was to
overcome these obstacles that the
Travelling Republic was formed.
Studying the problem of quickly
reaching California, Capt. Joseph S.
Watkins, a Virginian, who had served
in the legislature of that state, conceiv.
ed the idea of forming a complete gov
eminent, with executive, judiciary,
Legislative and military branches,
whereby all who desired to become
citizens thereof, up to a certain limit,
might be assured Of safe passage to
the tabled gold fields.
Announcing his plan, Watkins found
little trouble in securing volunteer
subjects and during December, 1848, a
meeting was held at Memphis to Or
ganize a provisional government.
About seventy-1ve volunteers from
various parts of the south attended and
took the oath of allegiance, each pledg.
ing himself to contribute s 1000 in cash
to the treasury and to abide by the
rule of the majority in every particu-
lar until the republic should be formal
ly and legally disbanded in California.
The citizenship was later increased to
the full limit, 100.
An elaborate constitution, covering
every possible contingency, was drawn
up and adopted. At the election which
followed Capt. Wilkins was elected
president, the other officers being vice.
president, three judges, court of ap-
peals judges, members of legislature
and many other minor functionaries,
ranging down to sheriff and constable.
The army was organized with a full
quota of officers and privates.
Strictly according to law the Ten
nessee-C California Travelling Republic
left Memphis on the LIST day of March,
1849, and proceeded by specially char
tered steamer up the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers to the Quitting point
at Independence, near here. All went
well during this portion of the journey.
The legislature held sessions at inter.
walls and passed such laws as seemed
necessary, while the courts tried and
punished any casual offender among
the citizenship.
