Reciprocity Leaders Name The first of a series of two games of alley ball for $100 a side between James Moran,. of this city, and Martin Kearney, of Bunmore, was played yesterday afternoon In Kearney's alley, Dunmore. A large number of spectators witnessed the contest, including many people from this city, The contest was a hot one, Moran keeping close to the score of his opponent all through the game. The final score was 30-20. The second game will be played a few weeks hence in Joyce's alley, this city. The second part of the contest will consist of 31 aces. Yesterday's score is considered favorable to Moran owing to the strength Kearney has always shown in an open alley. The last contest between these two players was \yon by Kearney, who allowed his opponent only ten points in Dunmore. Moran is very fast in an enclosed alley and his friends are Jubilant over his prospects of taking the series. Their Propaganda.

II., Aug, 10.—The crisis In the peace negotiations is approaching rapidly, and the end of this week or the lirst of next, at the latest, should witness the deadlock and the end if the conference is to go to pieces. Two more of the twelve articles, Nos. 4 and 0, were disposed of. Article 4 consists of mutual pledges to observe the Integrity of China and the policy of the open door for the commerce of all nations, and article (i covers the surrender of the Russian leases to the Liautong peninsula, Port Arthur, Daluy and the Blonde and Eliott Islands. STORM WAS TERRIFIC It is considered the most valuable concession in the republic of Mexico, and will no doubt make for the purchasers a great deal of money, and they are reported abundantly able to carry on the whole project with their own means. Chicago, Aug, 10.—Reciprocity's new name Is the "Chicago Idea." It has been agreed virtually hy the leaders in the movement for an assault all along the line on the Dingley protective tariff that this city shall be made the permanent headquarters of the propaganda after the reciprocity convention this week, and It is understood as likely that Alvln H. Sanders, who has had much to do with arranging the convention, will be in charge of the future course of the reciprocity campaign. New York, Aug. JO.—The Standard Oil company lias declared a beggarly dividend of $0 a share. This amounts to a distribution of $(1,000,000, of which Mr. Rockefeller's portion will be a miserly $2,400,000.

"Clean up," Is the latest edict issued by Mayor Langan. His honor told a reporter this morning that it was an order without loop holes. It means just what the Words imply and nothing less. The mayor and Health Officer Mines have been spending the past few days making an Inspection of the city from a sanitary standpoint, and they have Inspected practically every corner in it.

We know that senators who are not opposed to a reduction in the tariff schedule do not favor accomplishing this by reciprocity treaties. They prefer direct legislation by tariff revision, and that is what we purpose to undertake. Former Senator Hoar from Massachusetts did not object to a reduction of duties in many products, but he did oppose reciprocity treaties, believing that the house rather than the senate should Initiate such legislation.

KILLED IN RIOTS And there Is growing hope of compromise. To the closest observers the final solution begins to crystallize quite naturally—the Russians yielding the cession of Sakhalin, Japan foregoing "the cost of the war," but taking compensation In the money to be paid to Japan by China on account of the transfer to her of the Chinese Eastern railroad, the Russian government property In Port Arthur and Dalny and remuneration for the maintenance of the 100.000 Russian prisoners in Japan. lu all Mr. Rockefeller will probably receive $10,000,000 this year as his share of Standard Oil.

A wrestling match for possession of the gun by Wilte and Chapman was at its height, when a cartridge in the barrel exploded. Wilte received the shot in the. right cheek, close to the mouth, while the lire from the explosion burned his face badly. The bullet plowed its way clear through the cheek to the back of the neck, where It struck a bone an eighth of an inch from the spinal cord. The heavy ruin struck this city between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. Prior to that time there hail been sev-, eral small storms thut were of very ordinary proportions.

It was a big argument for paved side streets, a question which many of the councilman tried to sidetrack oil a recent occasion. Some of the best built side streets had large holes torn in them for a distance of blocks. The streets on the hills were badly ripped up in places.

I„ Aug. 10.—The steamer New Shoreham while entering the harbor on her trip from Providence with a hundred passengers on board struck a sunken wreck and after an exciting run for the dock sunk to the main deck just as she ran alongside the plor. The passengers were able to land over the usual gangplank. When the steamer was within a hundred yards of the dock the water put out the tires, and by tho time the steamer reached the dock Engineer Quintan was submerged to his waist. He was at his post, however, when the steamer's gangplank was pushed ashore and then came on dock. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 16.—The recalled State convention of the Democratic party came together today at noon for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the vacancy in the supreme bench. J. Thompson Milker, of Lewlsburg, was made permanent chairman of the convention. S. Z. Hawbeeker, one of the Franklin county delegates presented the name of Judge John Stewart, of Chambersburg. for the vacancy and the nomination was unanimously accepted by the convention. Judge Stewart is acting supreme justice by appointment of Governor Pennypacker and was recently nominated by the Republicans for the full term of 21 years. During the course of the convention, William H. Berry made a speech accepting the; nomination for State treasurership. yesterday "Then you and your associates believe in a reduction of duties all along the line?" was asked. The disturbances were of a serious nature and outbreaks occurred In various parts of the city. During the course of the rioting a bomb was thrown at a detachment of soldiers, killing two and wounding three others."That is just It," Mr. Foss replied. "We mean to steer a middle course between free trade on the one side and the stand pat doctrine on the other. We want free hides, free coal, free iron, free lumber and free wood pulp." Peacemaking Strenuous Occupation That making peace is a strenuous life Is illustrated by the daily programme of work of the peace envoys niul their suits. Eight sessions of the conference have been held since the arrival of the missions at Portsmouth one week ago, and all except utie of these have beeu long ones. Outside the sessions every one connected with the work has continuous and taxing occupation, with few hours for rest and practically none for recreation. POLISH SPEAKEASY .
