I CRITICISES ACTION
OF THE GOVERNOR
Capt. Wagener Charges That Calling
Out of Militia in Charleston
Was Not Necessary.
20 the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
read your article in The State, this
mornings issue, headed "Tne Gov
ernor Was Not Partisan asd you
find fault with Mr.. Grace's letter
which was published several days ago.
In reply to your statement l beg to
state | nave been resident of this
city since 1S4S, excepting the four
years | was in the Confederate army,
and I have never known that this city
was more orderly and better policed,
and positively assert there was no
reason whatsoever for calling out the
four companies of the National Guard
and three companies Of the naval re-
serves and issuing 5000 rounds of am
munition and in addition ordering the
sheriff to swear in a large number Of
constables, armed with clubs and pis-
tolls and who were partisans You
mention the Fourth of July parade.
You of course know that the militia
al tnat time was not armed with am
munition.
You also state at the time the shoot
ing took place that though the police
did not take part in the shooting, but
they did not preserve the peace. III
answer to the above beg to state in
wnat manner could they have pre-
served the peace more perfectly, as
they did at once arrest the Hyde party
who did the shooting and disarm them.
1t was commonly known that one OF
them was constable sworn in by the
sheriff and the other one of the man
ayers of the Ward 10 poll, which box
has not been counted: AS to blaming
the governor, 1 do not wish to make
any remarks, but 1 positively assert
there was no reason whatsoever for
the governor to call out the militia
and arm the National Guard and naval
reserves, and order the sheriff to swear
in a large number of constables. II
is blessing that no more citizens have
been killed or wounded. To have two
governments in q city is surely dan
gerous, and if the governor had been
requested by some Of our people 70
do as he has done, the governor might
have asked the mayor and obtained MS
opinion, but Mr.. Grace had to be de-
feated at all costs l may ask the
question, Why was the militia supplied
with ammunition? To shoot whom?
must confess that while l have
known Mr. Hyde pleasantly for many
years, l do not like the manner he is
declared mayor of this city. voted
for him four years ago, but in this
late so-called election 1 voted for Mr..
Grace, because he has proved to be g
good mayor and has worked for the
interests of the city and was largely
instrumental in the progress of the
city.
AS I stated abo7e, our city is now
and has been very orderly for years
and there surely was no necessity to
undertake sucn dangerous proceedings
as TO arm the National Guard and ma
val reserves and order the sheriff to
swear in large number of constables,
and in addition promise to send more
troops if necessary, and all, as un-
derstand, because some people had re-
quested it.

From $5 a Week to Baseball.

Chicago, Sept. 1O.-A. G. Spalding gave up $5 a week job in a. grocery to become identified with baseball and was perhaps better known as the Father of Baseball He became famous as a pitcher, one of the first to use the underhand delivery, and later became the manager of clubs.
 Not only during his career on the diamond but as an interested follower Of the game years afterward MT. Spalding always used his influence to place the game on high plane
 With his parents he moved from Byron, Ill.,, his birthplace, to Rock ford, in 1863, where he attended a commercial college. But he soon learned he could make money playing ball and Joined the Forest City club Of Rockford, which made reputation when it defeated the National club of Washington in 1867. ..
 Won Pennant. ."
 Four years later Mr. Spalding joined the famous Boston Red Stock ings and pitched the club to pennant victory in the races of the National Professional Association in 1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875. His longest connec- tion with active baseball playing was with the Chicago club, which he joined in 1876. He was successively it's manager, Secretary and president until 1881. For years he had cherished the idea that the sport might be popularized in England and in the winter of 1874, after the tour of the famous Baltimore Orioles, he went to Europe. Everywhere he was received enthusiastically. In 1888 and 1889 he managed the first world tour of the Chicago and All-American baseball teams. :.
 Started in New Haven.
 Tn 1875 Mfr" Spalding became inter- ested in the manufacture of sporting goods and started a small shop in New Haven, Conn.,, with a capital of only $500. A year later, when the 1 business grew, it moved to Chicago. 1 It formed the nucleus around which ! the present house of A. G. Spalding and Brothers was built.

RETREAT OF RUSSIANS
 MILITARY SUCCESS
Italian General Says Bureaucracy Was Responsible for Insufficient
 Preparation At End

Preparation At End.
 Rome, Thursday, Sept. g, 7:45 p. n., via Paris, Sept. 10, 9:35 a. m- Grand Duke Nicholas lacked suffi- cient energy to profit from his tri- umphs when the Russian armies were victorious" writes General Corsi, in the Tribuna. He also lacked the influence to impress upon the Elm peror the fact that the bureaucracy was responsible for the insuff1ciency of military preparations. During the retreat, however, Grand Duke Nich- olas showed a clear mind, capable of formulating precise views and reach ing prompt decisions.
 Thus 1t was that the retreat, which might have been turned into a rout. became through the leadership of Grand Duke Nicholas one of the greatest military successes if history from strategical standpoint. It is without comparison except for the fa- nous retreat narrated by Xenophon."

giant 305 millimetre guns crossed tue
Danube and Save rivers and occupied
Belgrade, are meeting with stubborn
resistance at the Serbian advanced de-
fensive. They have not yet enaoun-
tered the main Serbian army.

lieved that they will attempt to make
a decided stand north of the Kraguy

The population of Macedonian Ser

A million Serbians, both sexes and
of all ages, are ready to dispute ct

Military writer's here are puzzled
over the suspense attending the initial
of the Bulgarian campaign. It is pro-
badly considered due to the fact that
several weeks are needed for COM
plete mobilization when the Russian
ultimatum was sprung.
In the western theatre the German
attack in the vicinity of Loos appears
to have subsided without material
gains. Since October 4th General
