MASON CITY, June 4.-keokuk took
the final of the three game series here
yeterday in ten inning session by a
score of 2 to 4, The visitors failed TO
score until the ninth inning, while
Mason City made their tally in the
previous stanza. Previous to that the
game was air tight throughout. The
weakening of Kocher in the ninth
frame allowed a double and triple
which cost Mason City the victory.
McCulloch andl HoIocher hit for two
extra sacks and Giffin and Asher for
one for the visitors. None of the Clay
diggers' hits went over one sack.
Apparently the Claydigger hitters
were unable to find Watkins as he al
lowed but five hits and these were
well scattered However, two blows
for one bag and an error by Holocher
allowed Brausen, who had gone to
first when Comstock decided to eaten
by Leonard and the error advanced
Brausen unnecessary two sacks.
Mac Gets Our First.
McCulloch made the first score for
Keokuk. The Indian pitcher-rig ut
fielder, swatted for the second triple
of the game and with Wilkins next to |
bat, Boyle decided to use Asher as a
pinch hitter Asher stood the test |
and flew one far along the left foul
line, barely inside. He made two |
sacks on the whack. Two men were
out when the tying run was scored by |
the visitors.
The final score of the game was
presented to the Indians in the first
of the tenth by kocher. Comstock,
first up. he was hit with pitched ball.
Once. on the initial sack, the visiting
third baseman pilfered the second
sack. On long fly to right field by
Swick, after LeBau flew out to left,
Comstock anchored himself on third,
and Giffin's single scored the winning
run. Bay went in to hit for Kocher in
the tenth and singled. reaching second
on a sacrifice by Brausen. But he
died there on an infield fly out to third
and another to second. Bays hit, the
only clean hit of the game for the
Claydiggers, was secured off Penner,
Watkins allowing but three scratch
blows.

TTALYS WAR PARTY SUPREME
BETWF[N
 |. 5. AND GERMANY

WASHINGTON, May 17.-The report that Germany is willing to arbuae the difficulty which has arisen between
 it and this country the sinking of the LuStana is be-
 ing eagerly discussed in governmental circles and the be-
 lief is growing stronger that the matter may be adjusted without breach of peace The impression now is that Germany is willing to compromise and to end the attacks by submarines in return for being permitted to secure
 food supplies 1t is believed also that the attacks on mer chantmen will cease pending the negotiations which expected to follow BeIins answer to the American note There is sufficient ground to expect that Germany will not attack American ships again condition that guar anee that all merchant ships leaving the United States will not carry guns and that they will allow the Germans to search the cargocs 1t is felt that when our vessels carry munitions of war they leave themselves open to severe reprisaIs and weaken the arguments which this government can put forward The answer of the German government to the note forwarded is being anXousy awaited The wisdom of asking for an apology is doubt ed as Germany has already expressed its regret for the loss of American lives and will probably not stand the humiliation of forced apology.

URUMIAH, Persia, May 17.-The Russian consul reports that six thou sand Armemans have been murdered by the Turks and Kurds. The mas sacre is said to have taken place at Van which was turned into shambles. The report of the consul also says that the Armenians have armed them selves and are resisting but need help badly. The Russan official declares that if aid does not come quickly not Christian will be left alive in the whole region. The people in this part of the world have all but given up hope that Russia will be able to con quer the Turks in Trans-Caucasia and so bring the assistance so much needed.

SAN FRANCISCO
 ID SEND SHIPS
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR DI- RECT SAILINGS TO SOUTH
 WESTERN ALASKA.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-Ar- engagements have now been made for the establishment of a direct steam ship service from this city to south western Alaska and the sailing dates will soon be announced. The service has been in contemplation for some time but the decision of j&c govern mcnt to build the railroad and the great Alaska traffic promised as a consequence has brought matters in this respect to a head. The names of the vessels have not yet been publish ed. The organizers of the line be lieve that the running of steamers direct will transfer from Seattle to this city a great quantity of the Alas ka trade formerly enjoyed by the Puget Sound city. Some of them are even sanguine enough to expect that a greater part of the trade will come to Golden Gate.

THE MAYOR AND A BEAR.

Mayor Myers and John Gilpatrick are the men resposible for the death of the brown bear yesterday on Resur- rection river. They started up the bank of the river yesterday after hav- ing left the city at 3 o'clock in the morning At a point about six miles from town they saw the bear within rifle shot across the stream but they failed to find place to get over safe ly. Two other men came along, one carrying a tweny-two high power rifle and the other with a twenty-five, and when told of the presence of the bear they said they knew a place where they could cross. They did so and got the animal with five shots. The killing took place only six miles from town. Mir. Myers did not know the names of the men but the skin was brought to the city.

MEXICAN FIGHTING Is
 ALMOST FORGOTTEN.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Accord- ing to indirect advices received the rioting in Mexico City has been SUD- pressed. Information from other parts of the republic is very scant but the lack of news is hardly noticed on account of the all-absorbing questions arising from the loss of the Lusitania. Not a word has been published for three days that could throw the least light on the condition or positions of the Villa and Carranza forces. The last reports were unfavorable to the former but were very indefinite.

CONTRACTS LET
 ON RAILROAD
EIGHTEEN MILES OF GRADING ALREADY ARRANGED FOR
 AT ANCHORAGE.

Ten miles of the government rail road right of way have been already cleared out of Anchorage and eighteen miles of contracts have been let for the grading work, according to E. s. Hewitt who has just returned from that section and who made a carefu, examination of the conditions. The contracts are all small ones as had been expected. The commission is now building its temporary dock and also a large scow on which the dredge will be operated for the clearing Of the channel. The exact site of the town has not been decided upon, Mr. Hewitt says, and the tents, of which there are about four hundred, are still scattered irregularly. The govern ment authorities have however, built a jail and this may be regarded as the first governmental institution to se- cure a footing It has not yet been able to secure an occupant. After visiting the different farming sections around Mir. Hewitt came to the con- clusion that fortunes can be made in hog raising alone there.
