Results on Baseball Field and Race

Jose—Today's Handicap
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 30.—Some time
was spent today by Manager Marean of
the Western Union Telegraph company
in perfecting arrangement* for the
transmission and reception of messages
to and from the London office in con
nection with the International chess
game between the picked teams of the
house of representatives and the British
house of commons, which will begin to
morrow at 2 oclock, Washington time.
The telegraph instruments have been
put into the room occupied by the house
committee on commerce, which le suffi
ciently commodious to accommodate
comfortably the players, the telegraph
officials and a few other persons who
will be admitted. The office was ln di
rect communication with Heart's Con
tent, Nova Scotia, the American termi
nus of the Atlantic cable, and themes
sages exchanged today were handled
with an expedition that gave assurance
of being able to transmit the announce-
ment of the moves at both ends of the
line with sufficient celerity to keep the
game moving according to the schedule
time. The messages exchanged today
related to securing a mutual under
standing of the form ln which announce-
ments were to be made. It was agreed
that theflve boards should be designated
by numbers, number one, number two,
etc., and that the moves should be
specified by the numeral adjectives as
first, second, etc.
Some of the members of the house
who will represent the American end of
.the contest were also at the capitol,
keeping an eye on the telegraphic pre
parations and experimenting briefly on
openings. While they are generally
hopeful of the outcome, they realize
that their British antagonists enjoy
some advantages over them, from great
er practice as well as on other accounts.
ON THE DIAMOND
Oames Are Few With Plenty of
Kicking
CHICAGO, May 30—The Colts met
the Champions for the first time this
season today and defeated them easily
by bunching their hits tn the third and
eighth innings. Dahlen was badly spiked
sliding to the plate in the third, and will
be laid up for some time, the cut neces
sitating several stitches. Kelly and
Jennings were ordered out of the game
for constantly wrangling and kicking
over Hurst's decision. Corbett and
Pond taking their places. The Austra
lian ball players were interested specta
tors. Score:
Chicago 9, basehits 11, errors 3.
Baltimore 3, basehits 11, errors 3.

ON THE TURF
A Big Field for the Brooklyn
Handicap
NEW YORK. May 30.—As far as
could be learned, there is every proba
bility of a dozen starters in the Brook
lyn handicap, to be run at Gravesend
tomorrow, and the owners and trainers
profess to be well satisfied with the con
dition of their charges. The top weight
however, will be an absentee, for ths
Thompsons have concluded not to start
Requital, his work since his defeat by [
Handspring being unsatisfactory. The
reports that Handspring would be
among the missing are vigorously de
nied by P. J. Dwyer, who states that hts
colt's condition is entirely satisfactory,
his work being the best of the year, anil
Simms will pilot him. ISelmar is next
ln weight and his move on- Wednesday
last was so satisfactory that he will be
a great favorite with many, although
his stable companion, The Winner, who
ran so good a race in the Metropolitan
handicap, is thought to lie the better of
the pair. M. F. Dwyer will enU r Harry
Reed and lien Eder, and they are abso
lutely fit. The former, however, is .
highest favor among those who have
been watching the early morning gal
lops.
Oneck stable's Sir Walter is sure to
be a popular favorite. Maurice will be
r. starter in all probability, but his races
at Morris park have been extremely
bad. Lake Shore Will go. and will doubt
less have considerable following on his
last race. Leroy Prince showed his
heels to a fine lot the only time he has
started this year, and his exercises since
have led Mr. Belmont to think that he
has a chance. From Brighton Beach
comes reports of favorable work by Mr.
Keene's Arthur 11. Volley and Jeffer
son are reported to be fairly burning
up the track in their work, and the
owners of those lightweights declare
that the race is as good as won for
them. Thus It will be seen that if all
the reports are correct, the race will be
the most sensational in its history. The

WILL BE RETURNED FOR A CASH
CONSIDERATION
A Strange Case of Grave Desecration
at Jackson —The Regular Record
of Sunday Crime
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, May 30.—Nineteen years
ago the country was startled by the
report of the biggest bank burglary
| known in the history of the world. It
1 occurred on Sunday, October 27, 1878.
The Manhattan Savings institution of
this city was robbed of securities estl
! mated at $2,747,700 and $11,000 in cash.
With the exception of a few of the
bonds offered for sale some time ago,
none cf these securities have been re
covered. It was believed that they had
! been burled or destroyed.
That the securities are still in exist
ence is known here. A short time ago
negotiations were opened between men
'. euid to represent the burglars and Pres
: lilent Joseph Bird of tho Manhattan
Pavings institution for their return.
The burglars made a demand of $50,000
and no questions asked, with the un
derstanding that the securities are
to be handed over in good shape and
that immediately upon their delivery
the money shall be paid In cash. Presi
dent Bird, who at the time of the rob
! bery was paying teller of the Mnnhat
j tan Savings Institution, said today that
I $50,000 had been asked for the return
! of the bonds, and although the bank of
ficials would like to get them back, he
\ declared they would not pay the amount
i asked.
Continuing, Mr. Bird said: "Many
lof the securities are worthless today,
i I should say, since the government came
to our assistance some time ago by an
; act of congress and authorized the sec
-1 retary of the treasury to reissue dv
! plicates in place of the stolen United
; States bonds. There were a number of
' other bonds Issued by cities and corpo
-1 rations, however. Some of these ara
due soon, and of course we would lik?
|to have the originals, as It would make
iit easier for us to collect the moneys
: involved.
"I refer particularly to the Tonker3
' City 7 per cent coupon bonds. There
, were $118,000 Tonkers bonds stolen, and
out of that amount we have received
I $98,000, which leaves $20,000 due."
Mr. Bird stated that he believed the j
I offer to be made in good faith, and the
caM has been placed in the hands of the j
; bank's counsel. Those who partieipat- I
ed in or were connected with the robbery
I were Jimmy Hope, John Hope, Patrick
j Shevlln, the watchman of the bank;
| Wiiiam Kelly, Peter Emerson, alias
j "Banjo Pete;" John Nugent, a police
' man; Eddie Goiding, alias Eddie Goodie;
: John Tracy and Johnnie Dobbs. Of
these Jimmy and John Hope are giving
'in this city. The others are either dead
ior in prison.
GRAVE DESECRATION
JACKSON, Cal., May 30.—This morn
ing it was noticed that the grave of Mr*.
T. Rice, who was buried in the public
cemetery here last Wednesday, had
been disturbed. The gloves of the pall
bearers which had been thrown upon the !
casket at the funeral were found on the
surface and other indications pointed to
the conclusion that the grave had been
i opened. The relatives were informed,
I and they notified the sheriff's office.
The grave was reopened today, and all :
doubt that ghouls had been at work dis- j
pelled. The outer box containing the
caeket was found broken. The cover
of the casket had been lifted, one screw
being missing, and others being found
In different positions to that in which
they were left by an undertaker. The
corpse was there, however, but the pres
ence of dirt Inside the coffin showed that ,
;it had been disturbed. Drs. Sasss-Ila and
; Gall were called to find out the motive of
the disturbers, ar.d the extent of the in
terference. A hurried and partial ex
amination revealed no evieler.ee that the
body had been opened or any part of it
re-moved. The deceased was 32 years of
, age, and died from a complication of
i diseases which puzzled medical attend
ants. Altogether the case is a mystery,
' the unearthing of the remains showing
jno motive for desecration. This is the
second case within a few months.
MURDERED BY ROBBERS
WARREN, 0., May 30.—Isaac J. HIU,
a farmer living at Farmington, was
murde-red last night by burglars. Hill
lived with his aged mother. The robbers
broke into the house, and after bimlir.g
and otherwise maltreating the old lady
they went upstairs,, where Hill slept.
They flrtt clubbed him on the head and
then shot him. There were evidences In
the house this morning of a terrible
struggle, which goes to show that Hill
' made desperate resistance. So far as
known, the robbers got nothing, a." Mrs.
Hill says there was no money in the
house. There is no clue to the mur
derers.
SATISFACTORY SHOOTING
SWEET HOME, Tex., May 30.—The
neighborhood was assembled at Salem
church, eight miles from here, yester
day, In observance of Decoration day.
Two young men, Will Lewis and Witt
Boeworth, were among the number.
Bad blood existed between them, tc.o
much talk being the cause. They walk
ed away from the crowd- and stopped
after going same distance, appearing
to talk the matter over very calmly.
One turned as if to leave, when the other
drew a revolver. The other wheeled,
and both fired about the tame Instant,
and continued until their revolvers were
empty. Both were dead when their
friend* got to them. Every bullet fired
by each man took effect In his opponent.
Bosworth was shot twice in the head,
twice in the body and once in the leg.
The duel could have been prevented, but
everyone thought when they walked
away that they were likely to patch up
their troubles, and as this was desired
they were allowed a clear field. Lewis
was shot three times in the body am!
once through the arm.
Smallpox on Board
SAN FRANCISCO, May 80.—The British
ship Matterhorn arrived today from Hong-
Kong with the yellow flag at her mast
head and she was promptly ordered Into

and when only ten days out one of her
sartors was taken 111 and his companions
pronounced his disease to be smallpox. He
soon recovered and no other cases of the
disease broke out on the voyage, but as
a precautionary measure the vessel was
ordered Into quarantine on her arrival
here, and she will be thoroughly fumi
gated.
Wisconsin Weather
MILWAUKEE. Wis., May SO.—Many
points In Wisconsin and Minnesota wit
nessed the novelty of a Decoration day
snow storm today. At Menominee, Mich.,
it snowed at frequent intervals all day,
sometimes quite hard. At liayfleld. Wis.,
last night sufficient snow fell to cover the
ground. At Oshkosh, Wis., snow fell this
noon and the thermometer registered the

candidate for state treasurer. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing the American
Federation of Labor Unions as traitors to
the rlasß. nnd railing on all true Socialists
to shun them as vipers.
STRIKING CONVICTS
ABE NOT YET STARVED INTO
SUBMISSION
Warden Hale Thinks That He's Boss,
Bat He Has an Awful Job on
His Hands
SAN FRANCISCO, May SO. —The riot
ous convicts) in the San Quentln peniten
tiary eauped no serious trouble today,
i but they are still defiant, and vaguely i
| threaten that they will yet compel the
1 authorities to yield to their demands.
S Warden Hale is confident that the back
bone of the strike has been broken, and
declares that he will soon starve the un
ruly men into subjection. They are
closely watched every moment, ar.d the
guards are instructed to instantly sup
l press any attempts at organized dis
turbance. During the regular exercise
I hour today some of the convicts not im
plicated ln the strike, but.sympathlzlng
with Its leaders, pelted the doors of the
; dungeons where the men on short ra
'. tions are confined with potatoes and
: pieces' of bread, and in this way man
! aged to give them considerable food be
fore the very eyes of the keepers.
Shouting and banging on the doors was
J continued all day, and those within hail
ing distance were greeted with the vilest
; epithets. The men, declare they will
: never submit to the discipline again,
and the prison officials are fully aware
that it will be a difficult task to restore
tranquility. Warden Hale declares that
; there Is no foundation, in fact, for the
, complaints regarding the quality of food
1 served. He thinks this charge is merely
, a pretext for the convicts refusing to
| work in the Jute mill, and positively de
clares that, having quelled the first out
: break, he !s now master of the situation.
"Shoot the first man who breaks out
lof his ce'J."
j That was the order to the guards at
San Quentin tonight. The prisoners
, ! were shrieking like maniacs, and rattling
' and pounding on the iron doors of their
cells. The guards were doubled ar.d
, each carried a shotgun loaded with
. buckshot.
Two men who were released today,
their terms having expired, told what
the desperate convicts are planning.
It has been agreed among the rlng
leade-rs that when they are permitted lo
return to work in the jute mill they will
make a sudden rush, kill Engineer
Young if necessary, overpower the
i guards and completely wreck the mag
| nificent plant, on which an enormous
I amount of money, said to be nearly
| $1,000,000, has been spent. The machin-
I &ry is of such a nature that it could very
soon be damaged and practically de
stroyed, but the convicts were worked
up to such a pitch that they would stop
iat nothing. There are 1364 prisoners
within the walls at San Quentin. Over
half of them are in open revolt. Many of
the others sympathize with the violent
ones.
Yesterday afternoon Governor Budd
telephoned to Warden Hale requesting
advice as to the exact situation at the
.prison. The governor was anxious to
know if there was any danger of a Jail
break. The warden replied that the
situation was improving, and informed
the governor that the men were all safely
locked up, and that in his judgment
I there was not the slightest chance for a
; j single prisoner to escape.
' I Governor Budd did not make any sug
gestion as to what course the warden
should pursue, but left everything with
: i Hale, telling him that 'he would back
' him to the end, and would send militia
If necessary. The warden says that all
| the complaints made by the men are
trivial. Director Wilkins declares that
» the opium fiends, who have been de
, | prived of the drug, are at the bottom of
i' the trouble.

MORE BREAKS
In the Levees Near Baton
Rouge
THEIR FANCIED SECURITY
LEADS TO THE NEGLECT OF THE
BANKS
Prompt Work May Prevent Great
Damage—The Worst Is Over
at El Paso
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW ORLEANS, La., May 30.—A cre
vasse resulting from over-confidence and
relaxation of vigilance occurred at 6
oclock this morning in the levee at Con
rad's point, four miles by rail belcav
Baton Rouge, on the east side of the
Mississippi river. At 2 oclock this morn
ing information was received at Baton
Rouge that the levee at Conrad's sugar
house was leaking badly, and' that a
crevasse was likely to occur at any mo
ment. There had been a feeling of al
most perfect security throughout the
section, and a thought of a crevasse
had not entered into the calculation of
things liable to take place. There were
no laborers within call, as they had
all been discharged and sent to their
homes. The levee authorities at Baton
Rouge hastily gathered together a force
of men and placed on barges material
which happened to be anchored along
the front of the Burton sawmill, and by
4 oclock a tug was towing the barges of
men and material to the scene of dan
ger. At 6 oclock, shortly before the
barges arrived at the plantation', the
levee burst with a loud report, and the
water, in a stream forty feet wide and
seven feet deep, began pouring through
the break and spreading rapidly over
the fertile lands in the vicinity. The of
ficials of the Ponchartraln levee, dis
trict and of the Illinois Central railroad
are on hand with large forces of men and
unlimited supplies of material, and will
no doubt succeed In closing the break
before any serious damage is done to the
adjacent plantations.
The latest news from the crevasse
tonight is that it has widened to 150
feet, and that the water Is going through
about Aye feet deep. Several planta
tions have already been submerged and
the water Is spreading ln every direc
tion. Governor Foster has visited the
break, and will have all the state forces
available Immediately concentrated,and
every effort will be made to close the
crevasse as soon as possible.
Mr. Kernan of the levee board, who
accompanied Governor Foster to the
break, thinks It can be closed, as they
have enough money, labor and materi
al for the purpose, although it may take
three or four days to complete the Work.
THE TEXAS FLOOD
EL PASO, Tex., May 30.—There are
no new developments, in the flood situ
ation today. The river is falling at this
point and ail along the line as high up
ias Albuquerque, N. M., but people In
the flooded district continue to move out.
and the eastern end of San Antonio
street, with its handsome brick resi
dences, is deserted.
News reached the city this evening
of a heavy rise at Albuquerque, but that
rise cannot reach El Paso before to
morrow night, when it will be too late
to do damage. Houses in the flooded dis
trict are still falling. The board of
health is colonizing all the destitute
flood sufferers at old Fort Bliss,

A DRUNKEN DRIVER
Deliberately Drives in Front of a Bail
road Train
DENVER, Col., May 30.—At 8 oclock
this evening a spring wagon driven by
Henry Marsau, a carpenter, and con
taining eight children ranging In age
from 3 to 9 years, was struck by a spe
cial train on the Denver and Rio Orande
railroad, and as a result four of the chil
dren are dead and the others are terri
bly Injured, two so badly that they will
die. Marsau, with his three children,
had been spending the day at the home
of Christopher Schoneweiss, ln the
southern portion of the city. When
ready to start for home he took a load
of children, gathered up In the neighbor
hood, for a short ride. It is claimed by
