Iii was a beautttul gvuue, repiete wttn brilliant piuy-d, unu clever pitching. UmpUre Adams wa.s away on on n~s decisions, and ihougn Ira tried to ?"even up," his "rousts" oi Portsmouth beug at oitVtlcal tunes when there was <a chance for a score. In the sixth inning, he called Uyera ouit on a strike whioh was six Inolres from the platte, when there were men cm second und third, and a-hit meant two runs. H.e decision in the second calling Murray out ialt third was also very "yellow." Morrlsscy pitched a great game, al? lowing oii'ly seven hits and glwlng only one free b?se. Danuehower also pitch? ed well, allowing seven, h.ts, but giving two bodes on bollstand hitiing four bait ters. Kohnle got in h/.s two hits in four Limes up, und "Barley" Kaln got in three hi'is und Jltn Smith two. Portsmouth led oft", and Kohnle got his base by being hit by pitcher, dark] and Longley went out on Hies to Pulsl fcr and Kemmer got a hit, sending Kohnle to third. The best Thornton could do was a little bounder to Spra.lt. Uyers led off In the second wlith la j homo run. the only run scured by Portsmouth. After that Portsmouth went out in order, two double plays killing a chance to score. In the sixth, after Clark Hied out 'to centre. Ixmg Icy placed a pretty bunt and Kemmer drew a base <?:i balls. Until advanced a b.iso on Thornton's slow bounder and out. bu>t died when Adams called Hy ers out on strikes. Murray's bns.^ on balls and Stolen base, and Morriswoy's hit by pitcher were of no use, ns Bom? mert struck out und Kohnle and Clark (lied out. Thornton's hit In th<* eighth came ?after two were out. After two were out hi the ninth, Morrlsscy was hit again by pRcher. and Kohnle's hit ad? vanced him to bhlrd, but Clark popped up a little one to Kolloy. Norfolk scored twice In tb> third <n Kaln's single, Sprntt's sacrifice, Jim Smith's hit and steal, and John Smith's | double. They had no other chances score during the game, although Kaln and ?prntt got singh>s in the fifth* but Karn died in Ori attempt to steal, and a quick double by Morrlss* y and Thornton retired Jim Smith and Sprnl t. The same teams play In Norfolk this afternoon, and Matthews and Colemon will be the opposing twlrlers, so a hot. close game is exi>ected. The score: PORTSMOUTH. AK. R. H. Pn. A. E.

The firemen were at work for an hour, ami finally accom? plished their purpose. H ks not known In what way'the lire started. IMPOSS1 REE A ETERNATPVES (Springfield Republican.) The party of Imperialism is plainly breaking up into two irreconcilable factions which may be called imperialist, and expansionist. The former would hold the late Spanish islands in sub? jection to the American republic out? side of the constitution. . The latter would place them in the position of ter? ritories governed by Congress under constitutional limitations and admissi? ble ultimately to statehood. A large number of Republican papers are now speaking for tne expansionist idea. They appear as those who have hitherto plunged along blindly anil thoughtlessly in the path of "glory," but who have at last been awakened by the Porto Rico case to the magnl-' tilde and far-reaching consequences of' the practical issue Involved. Brought now face to faee with the definite im-' perlal proposition of holding distant; peoples in pi lit teal servitude to a Con-] gresslonal majority of unlimited pow? ers, they hesitate and draw back. They want tiie constitution to go along with the Hag. In their fresh young inno? cence they seem to have supposed this was the purpose of Reld and Lodge and the other imperial conspirators. The Portland oregonlan Is among these expansionists, speaking of the proposed grant of free trade and other; constitutional rights to Porto Rico, lt; says: "So only can we attach our insular possessions lo us. We have done It with Hawaiian Islands; why nut also with Porto Rico and the Philippines? Why not bring Cuba to us on tin? same ; basis? Nothing but the greed of pro? tected interests stands against this policy of national expansion, founded, on a true national Interest, which never1 can be Inconsistent with honor, reason and Justice." It thus obviously demands for the Philippines what has already been con? ceded lo Hawaii and what it would concede to Porto Rico?not onlj free trade, but nil the rights flowing to American territory under the Constitu? tion, together with the right to ulti? mate statehood. Hut the imperial.sts raise their voices; In horror at such a proposition. Speaking through Whltelaw Held, at tiie Massachusetts club, they say: "What holds a nation together, un? less It In- community of interests, char? acter and language and contiguous territory? What would more thor? oughly insure its speedily flying to pieces than the lack of every one tit, these requisites? Over and over tin-, clearest-eyed students of history have! predicted our downfall, even as a ?? n ttncntal republic, in sptte of our meas? urable enjoyment of all of them. Row! near we nil believed we came to it once or twice! How manifestly under the Incongruous hodge-podge of addi? tions to the I'nion thus proposed, we should have the exact conditions which have Invariably led to such downfalls elsewhere!" And are they not so far right? We can finite likely digest Porto Rico suc? cessfully in the course of time. It is close by our shores, nnd has only a small population. Hut the Philippines, with their ten million nnd more of people,, 7,000 miles away? Can the proposition of admitting them to a representative share In the American government IMS entertained by anybody with confi? dence and equanimity. Hut. on the other hand, are you not only to shoot their people into subjec? tion, 'hut hold them there for vor? Are you going to create a despotism with? out the republic and plant a tyranny whose seeds will fall and sprout at home? Are you going c> say that the constitution do s hoi follow the fing and that therefore despotism and not liberty follows that Hag beyond the borders of the union of states ami is represented by It? Let the so-called expansionists weigh this matter more carefully. They have heretofore Iteen engaged in shouting over if. now they nre bginning to think about It. They must flnallly see that Mr. Reld Is right ns to the danger of taking In such a territory as the Phil? ippines under th" constitution withTh** way open to statehood. And on the other hand the Imperial proposition, they will admit, Is destructive of Amer? ican principles, and can only end In the overthrow of the republic. The antl-lmperlallsta alone offer a safe, hu? mane and republican solution of this problem. Grant Independence to the Filipinos and strat them off In self government under a guiding, protecting American hand. FOLLIES OF THE AMERICAN EX? PORT KU. (The Engineering Magazine for June.) There seems to be a large number of American manufacturers who think they want foreign business, but who want it only on the condition that It will fall Into their hands at the ex? pense of a few cents in postage for a Utter, usually badly written, in a lan? guage (English) of which so many of their prospective customers are totally Ignorant, or know so lit * 1.-. as to make ! the reading of 1t a Herculean task. Tt is obvious ibat such letters?frequently mimeographed, and badly at that?are treated as all Circulars usually are. namely, thrown away. It would be curious to note th? effect of a circular of the same kind, written, say, in Hun? garian, to one of these same American houses. "Circularising" Europe from America for business docs not pay under any circumstances that have ever come under my notice; hut circularising Eu? rope from some point in Europe, for the same class of goods, can be mad:' to pay, and pay handsomely. niKit.
