I The final game in the fi:st series be
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, played
at Lexington yesterday afternoon, went
to the Millers, and with it ■ went the
series, for Mr.- Beall's men have tak n
two out of three. The game was cne
of the worst and one cf the lo gest
Brawn-out that has been played this sea
son. There were errors galore on both
Bides. The only redeeming feature was
the fact that first one and then the other 1
■was in the lead, and it was not a settled
fact which would win until the last man
[had been called out. There v, as ore other
feature, too. It was the umpire. Tills
could have well been cut out. Brennen
Bpent the greater part of bis time in side
talks with the players an.l spectators,
an.l doing funny (?) stunts. He was :'.;s >
■wild-as a March hare in call ng balls and j
Strikes. It would be well for President i
[tiickey to include his umpiies when pro- 1
mulgating rules. regulating ihe hours that i
they keep, and certain other th!ngs.
Thomas was scheduled to citeh for the
Saints, but he lasted only long enougti
for Belden. the first Milter up In the first
Inning, to get a three-bagger. Cog was
(then called in from second base, and Wil
son was sent out from behind the plate
to replace him, while Holmes came in to
catch. The young man from PateTson,
W. J., held the Millers in gord cheek un
til the fifth inning, and t :en came the
fireworks. In the fifth and .'ix;h he was
[pounded all over the lot. Rvan persisted
in keeping him in the box. however, and
lit looked as though this was good judg
ment, for in the next two innings 'the
Millers failed to do business. Then came
itho mistake of Ryan's life. He ca led
Knepper In to pitch the ninth inning.
.T':e big fellow started in like a whirl
wind, but his finish was <iui:k. He struck
out the first man up, but flit the next j
One. and followed this w'th two wild j
pitches. AH this, together wi'h a bad
muff by Dillard, sent the winning run j
across the plate. And it wa= a relief ,
to Bee it come in, even though it went j
the wrong way. In addition to Dillard, >
"Old Reliable" Werd< n also found his ■
■way into the error column, and Wl'a n ]
made two bad errors. Wi'.srn '.a ex uaa'. l 3 i
because he was playing out of his posi
tion. •-P.il" Is one of the best catchers j
In the business, but he can't play sec- j
ond base. The only wonder 1-= that he ;
got away with the position as well fs he
did, for he sot in with a couple of fast ;
■ fielding plays.
S worm si ■!: was on tre slab for the
Millers, and, in spite of rh.» rsct that the !
Saints k'-pt piling runs up aga'n t him,
and occasionally walloping his benders ,
out for two and three-baggers, Mr. Beall |
kept him in the box. It took nerre. but ,
he won out. The Millers had a very ,
much worse day in the field than c"id the |
Saints, but they had the lens .■ nd of the ■
stick work, and this won them the game. ,
To give an account of how a' 1 "the runs .
■were* made would take a week. The fact j
that the Millers hit fifteen times for a j
total of twenty-four bases, while the i
Saints hi: but ten times for a total ct j
sixteen bases tell the tale But for t'e
errors of Beall's men, it w< ul' hiv-^ b«"n |
a walkaway for the nun fr m up t: c ;
river.

DIAMOND DUST.
Cockroan," who plays the short field for
the Millers, is a pretty bad fielder, but-he
seems to be all right otherwise. He has
I made three hits for a total of seven bases
and has crossed the plate four times in
tho last two games.
Unless . Cogan can do better -we will
; have to take back what we said of him
I on lii< first appearance in a St. Paul uai- '
j form. The Millers had no trouble at all
: in finding him yesterday, and their hits
came when hits meant runs and lots of
them.
Srerinen's work yesterday was rank.
There should be a rule that the 12 o'clock
closing hour applies to umpires as well as
: brili players and better all around work
] would no doubt result. The fans yester
-1 day wort.' also made acquainted with the
' fact for the first time that comedian (?)
umulres are employed in the Western.
Holly is playing the short field in great
chape and is also getting in a few hard
: rnps on the ball. He landed on the leath
j c-r yesterday for two clean hits and bcth
j carrfea him half-way round the circuit.
! The short field is Holly's regular position,
', while Muggins is a 'vet' at second. When
Husglns gets back in the same it might
be :i wise scheme to try this order until
Crooks' linger gets well.
.Tnck Glasscock, recently suspended for
the season by the Minneapolis manage
ment, has been offered a place on-the
I>os Moines team, and it is probable that
the old man will cast his fortunes with
the. lowa team if he can induce B«all to
reinstate him. Under the league rules he
cannot play with a professional team ca
tering, tr. the National until this is done.

populations of incorporated cities, ta^vna,
villages and boroughs in the year I'OO.
This report is issued in the form of a
monograph and comprises about 800
pages. The other portion of the final
report on population will be issued during
the early fall, putting the entire volume
in the hands of the public a.t least four
years in advance of any previous cen
sus.
Most of the features of the volume
have received attention from the press
heretofore. It shows that excluding the
District of Co]urni.:-* which is in effect
a municipality, Rhode Island, with iff!
inhabitants to the square mile in IMP,
ie the most densely settled state in the
Union, while-Massachusetts comes next,
with not quite S-J9 inhabitants to !.
square mile. New Jersey, with a I;.:.
--more than : ro inhabitants to th ■ square
mile, is the third state in point of density
of population,' while Connecticut, with
somewhat more than IS7 inhabitants to
the square mile, occupies fourth place.
Four states have more than 100 inhabi
tants to the square mile? in 1900, namely,
New York, with 152.6 inhabitants; Penn
sylvania, with 140.1 inhabitants: Mary-,
land, with 120.5 inhabitants, and Ohio,

tenth of one person to the square mile,
and Nevada only four-tenths of one per
son to the square mile. "Wyoming has
not quite one inhabitant to the square
mile, while Arizona, New Mexico, Mon
tana and Idaho have less than two per
sona to the square mile.
The newly acquired territory of Hawaii
shows an average density of population
of not quite 24 persons, ranking in this
respect between Maine with 23.2 persons
and Arkansas with 24.7 persoo3 to the
square mile.

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON REPLIES
TO SIR ALFRED UK K>IA.\VS
STRICTURES
JOHN BULL NO LONGER LEADS
American Locomotive* and Steel
Bridge* Have Amply Demon-
Ht rated Their Superiority
on Indian Railroad*.
LONDON, May 3L—l*rd Oeorgre Ham
ilton, tlic Indian secretarj", who was not
present in th-. ; house of commons when
Sfr Alfred Hickman rronservntive), May
X, attackeiJ Amr rlran-built loeom.:
and bridiros. has replied in a .letter to Sir
Alfred Hickrnan. In part it is as fol
lows:
"No practical engineer, who has visited
American workshlps and inspected their
methods of production and manufacture
wojild for a mon-ent indorse your as
sumptions. Their competition is danger
ous because they are yearly Improving
their products both In quality and price
It always has been the pracliw of the
board of management of the Indian rail
ways to she preference in all thtir con
tracts to British manufacturers and that
policy has so far prevailed that up to the
great recent engineering strike no order
lor a railway locomotive wu ever -
outside of Groat Biftain. Since ttten,
owing to tha British workshops being
blocked with w*k. certain of the Imii_i
railway boardr: found It necessary, as
locomotives could not be obtained here,
to place a few limited orders in America.
I am ready to give all the available re
ports concerning working, consumption
or fuel and load-drawing pow^r of th^s?
locomotives. The earlier reports wore un
favorable, but when their working was
better understood and .alterations were
made to suit the local work a remarkabl •_■
improvement was noticeable, so much, so
that one company wishes to obtain more
nigines of similar construction. That
American locomotives obtained a foot
ing In Tndia was due to t>.e strike I have
referred to. Bit if, as I hope, -British
locomotives are in thfl future to regain
their monopoly in that vast system of
railways, British engine- rs must profit by
th« hints ar.d suggestions these reports
EUII.D BEST BRIDGES.
Concerning _ the \ Goktelk viaduct in
Burmah, Lord George Hamilton says the
order was placed with a Philadelphia
company because no British firms had
anything like the same experience in this
claps of construction. The Americans bid
a low<?r price and quicker time than
ether competitors. The charge made by
the late supervisor of the construction -it
the viaduct that the riveting was de
fective was in no way supported by a
searching inspection.
"The Bnrmah railroad board," he adds,
"composed of the most competent rail
way experts, are satisfied that the bridge
is sound and reliable."
Lord George Hamilton also says that
if ho seems to combat Sir Alfred Hlcfc.
man's contention It is not because he
does not heartily appreciate his object!
They both wish to assist in maintaining
tire supremacy of British engineers and
workshops against foreign contractors.
"You seem to (think," he continues,
"that orders have only gone abroad be
cause those who gave them did net
understand their business. T wish it were
ro. The competition we have to face Is
founded on something much mom
form'da hie and more substantial. Chem
ical research, ihf consolidation of capl
i. 1. thorough technical education and im
proved Industrial organization have made
in recent years a greater advance !n
America than here. It is with the
product of these combinations and not
with the assumed stupidity of, the Indian
officials 'that the British engineer has to
contend. So far .ih I am concerned, I
can undertake that preference, unless the
difference in prie*. quality and delivery
is very substantial, will always be given
to British firms. May I not ask you, as
a leading member of the great steel in
dustry of this country, to co-operate with
me t>y Impressing on your associates the
necessity of meeting competition in the
future, so as to Insure that price an\
lime of delivery will be on the side ot
British production?"
