���I Daily Edition No. 1092 Nelson, British Columbia. Friday, July 19, 1901 Eleventh Year NELSON AND NORTHPORT The Visiting Baseball Players Win by Twelve to Seven. Home Team Failed to Score Until Last Innings. When They Made Seven. beautiful home run which brought in Edwards and added a great deal to the joy of the grand stand. Hut there is jno use going into particulars. All that need he said is that Nelson, in the last innings, lifted n score of 12 to 0 against them to 19 to 7 and left the spectators almost as well pleased is if n victory had been scored by the local men. The score by innings was Northport 1 0 3 0 12 2 3 �����12 Ne'son 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7���7 Ralph Herron umpired in an industrious, perspiring aud thoroughly satisfactory manner. NO TROUBLE AT PRESENT There was a ball game yesterday afternoon and when it was all over i was discovered that the Northport team had very badly beaten out the Nelson nine. The victory of the visitors was due to most timely stich work, and also to the extremely ragged play of the N cUon field men. The Nelsou battery did all that wns expected of it. Early in the game Kacritt lost a linger and he was re. placed to take McAstockcr's curves by Harry Houston, Houston certainly knows a liltie about the game and did very fine work tlnougliout the game. The youthful ptcher, who has a swift south paw delivery, certainly knows how to deliver them so as to bother the batters. Ilis pitching was one of the features of the game and he gave very few passes to first base, lt was the very loose work in the field that lost Nelson the game. One overthrow brought iu two runs and some more wild throwing biought two more in the innings which followed. Hut the whole thing occurred in the ninth Innings. The bleachers were lined with a small but intensely Nelson crowd, the members of which entirely lost their voices in alternately coaching and roasting the wearers of thc giey and red. lt was a disappointing proposition to work up enthusiasm on a string of goose-eggs '-ft extended over eight innings. Hut the rooters were uot dismayed unci they said a whole lot of uncompli mentary things to tbe Northport pitcher when be came up to deal his sciei tific curves to the local men on their last chance. This was done to rattle the Bald pitcher but he showed how much he was rattled by pitching threo good ones that the batter utterly failed to negotiate. Iu this connection you must understand again that the score was 12 to 0 against Nelson, and the tovrn that we are all so proud of had but one chance to retrieve the ignominy of a goose-egg. In the na- tuial order of things, after the first man struck out and reduced Nelson's chances by one thiid, another victim presented himself to the Northport pitcher. The latter looked confident while the former appeared to he venting an old standing giurige on the bat winch he lammed unmercifully against the plate. When the pitcher unwound his arm the bat went at it and the weakest little infield pop imaginable resulted. The ball beat the butter to first by about two weeks. That looked serious. Northport had an even dozen rurs and Nelson had a clean sheet and two men out. Home of thu rooters became so discouraged tbat they went home. If you are a lia.eliall player you will understand the gravity ot tbe situation. Sonic rooters remained und thev rooted as rooters should. It appeared to be all over and Nelson was to have the magnificent score of 000. Then Johnny Campbell, who by the way, is a baseball player, went to bnt. The very first ball given to him he rapped out to the right field and on it he reuched second. The next man up was Dudley Blackwood and he came within au ace of knocking the cover oil' thu ball. Anyway he brought in Campbell nnd planted himself safely at second. Edwards made a two bagger also, which brought in Blackwood and raised the enthusiasm of tbe uforementioned rootorB who went ut It quite reckless to tattle thc Northpoit pitcher, who in no innings pitched thc game thnt the Nelson man did. Then the same Nelson man, so flatteringly mentioned in the laBt sentence, struck an attitude with the bat. As a batter he certainly can strike���an attitude. But that time ho also struck the ball and put out a very pretty grounder. Harry Houston wus the next batter. He had distinguished himself behind the plate all afternoon by his thorough knowledge of the game and as batting was thoroughly in order, the crowd veiled all kinds of Instructions at him.

The Australian gentleman, Cock, an interview with whom published in yesterday's Miner, his finger on the >ore spot of Hiifsli Columbia mining. It needed not a magician to do this, as the trouble lies well on the surface. The prevalence of strikes is causing the mischief. "The frequency of strikes in British Columbia, and the uncertainty of the industrial conditions, were scaring capital away from what would otherwise be great and paying investments." Complaint has beeu made of the raining laws, and not without good ground. It is poor encouragement to the industry to mani fest a disposition on the put of the Government to make it the chief source of Provincial revenue. It has to bear ils fair share of indirect taxation, but to impose in addition the burden of tt large direct tax is a poor way to entice capital. Vexatous und detrimental as those laws are, however, tbey themselves impede the flow of foreign (3* *���'* HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. INCOHPORHTED 1670.

WasbingtoD, Julv 18���It is the desire of some of the great powers that the disposition of Manchuria should go be- fore the ministers at Pekin and be finally determined by a joint agreement among the powers. Although nu definite step has been taken in that direction, it is being discussed by foreign representatives stationed here, who fully expect thut tbe plan will be' adopted. Russia, it is believed, Mill be reluctant to agree toil. Attention has been directed to the latter by reports that Russia bus resuui- ,,l direct negotiations with China concerning Manchuria and also by yesterday's cablegram stating that a Russian proclamation was about to be issued proclaiming New Chwang as a Russian port. As to this report thai Russia will proclaim New Chwang to be a Russian port, it is pointed out in diplomatic quarters that New Chwang is a treaty port and as such open to the commerce of the world, under the existing tariff: regulations with China. These rights of trade could nol be diverted, in the opinion of diplomatic officials, by a Russian proclamation unless the powers had previously given assent. Thus far, however, there haB been no request from Russia or China for any change in the status of New Chwang as one of the treaty ports. Mi, Rockhill, U. S. special commissioner at Pekin, has been instructed to give the assent of the United States to the discussion of the proposition to increase the Chinese custom duties in order to provide means for the payment of the international indemnity. Our government is Btill unopposed to this project ana" the instruction is sent only in defer, nee to the universal wish for a speedy conclusion of the negotiations at Pekin. In a spirit which aroused the keenest admiration of the state department, the Japanese government has met the ditliculty glowing out of the preference of her request for an increase of ber Indemnity from China, by withdrawing that request. Japan asked originally for 8.8,000,000. Tbis figure was more moderate than any ot thu powers which played any prominent part in the Chinese campaign and represented the barest expense of the undertaking. It was fixed upon the idea that payment was to be made in cash by China. It is safe to assume that the United States government will do what it can to secure compensation for Japan in some other way In the future. C. E. IN SESSION. San Francisco, July 18.���The last Epworth League special train arrived tonight and when the fifth international convention opened 30,000 delegates were in attendance, 18,000 of these coming from points east of the Rockies. Since last Monday morning the Southern Pacific has handled via Ugden, 35 special trains in addition to the regular trallic, a largo majority of them arriving last nixht and today, many being scheduled but 30 niiutues apart. The record mado is remarket le in view of the fact that not the slightest accident occurred to this procession of trains all the way from Ogden.1, The excursionists all oxpress themselves much pleased with the transcontinental journey. The arrangements made by the Epworth League loeal committees and the railroads for carrying of passengers and baggage have worked perfectly and there has been but little confusion. Among today's notable arrivals wcru Bishop Isaac VV. Joyce, president of the league; Rov.

Warren of Denver and Hlshop Earl Cianston of Portland, Ore. tbe royal princess has been watched with keen interest for several years. When Lord Rosebery arrived from the continent last Saturday he went almost direct lo see the king. There has been much speculation as tu the cause of this visit, but it is now explained. A London paper says: "The report that announcement will soon be made of the betrothal has caused no surprise in England. where it is generally believed the wido1" of Queen Victoria's youngest son aud the former premier would have been married several years ago but for the opposition of the queen to second marriages. They have been loverH for years, and tlnee monthB ago it was reported they had been secretly mairied. The ducbeag, who is a daughter of the German house of Waldecn I'yrmont, has been a widow since 1881, her husband dying two yeaTs after their mairiage. Her life since then has been devoted to her children, Piincess Alice and the present Duke of Albany, who is now 17. Lord Rosebery has teen a widower since 18110. He is 54, fourteen years the senior of the duchess." The earl's friends scoff at the stories of the engagement. A BOAT DEAL.
