The twelre city circuit has already proven a success. Van Haxtrex, of Baltimore, leads the League batsmen . The Louis villes are only a shadow of their former greatness. Corkhill, of Pittsburg, never played as well aa this season. Halug vk, released by Cincinnati, has been signed by Baltimore. Chamberlain, of Cincinnati, is the cool est pitcher in the profession. Rusie, of New York, is not pitching the same kind of ball as last season. The Bostons have won more games by one run this season than any other team in this oun try. Keefe's work, so far, for the Philadel phias shows him to be anything but a played out pitcher. The Chicago miss Peffer, of Louisville, very much. Canavan does not fill his shoes by several sizes. More trouble with umpires has occurred in Cincinnati than in any other city in the League circuits. Boston and Brooklyn are the only teams which have not up to date released one or more players. The Mayor of Toledo. Ohio, has come out in favor of Sunday baseball, on the ground that it. will tend to keep men away from the saloons. Ward, of Brooklyn, is playin? as well, if not better, than when ne was with the New Yorks. His base runnins in particular is very fast. Left-handed pitchers are no more of a terror to Brouthers, of Brooklyn, than right-handed ones. He slugs them all with delightful consistency. Every city is supporting its local team admirably, and financially the returns ex ceed any previous year in the history of professional ball playing. The youug women at the Bryn Mawr (Penn.) College have organized two baseball nines, but have decided to play only with the Vassar nine and against each other. It will be noticed that fully eighty per cent, of the games this season are won and lost by a single run. The batting is small, ridiculously so, and a homo run is rare. Have the pitchers, knowing that releas.es mean retirement, braced up and improved wonderfully, or have the heavy hitters lost the cunning of their eagie eyes? Should the Bostons win the first cham pionship they'll have a warm season in th9 second half. Every one of the other eleven clubs will "lay for them," will save up their best batteries and take most desperate thances to win from them. Such has always fceen the fate of a champion team. There is a long, weary, trying summer before the Boston team. The game of baseball which was played at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, for the benefit of the widow of the late "Hub" Collins was a success in every way. Over 3000 was re alized. The competing teams were the Brooklyns and the St. Louis, the latter nine being made up of those who had at one time played under Von der Ahe's banner. The Bridegrooms were defeated by a score of six to one. RECORD OF Clubs. Won.

The House Passes Bills Admitting Arizona and New Mexico. In the House of Representatives at Wash ington Mr. Smith (Delegate, Arizona) moved to pass the bill for the admission of Ari zona. His request vas greeted with thun derous anplase, an 1 the jJemocratic mem bers gathered in groups discussing tae day's events. The Democrats had the opposition at their mercy. All sorts of rumors pre vailed. Utah was to be next admitted; a recess was to be taken at G o'clock until 10 that night, and the Legislative Appropria tion bill and othar important measures were slated for passage under suspension of the rules. The Clerk read the Arizona Admission bill and Mr. Perkins demanded a second read ing, which was ordered, and the bill was Sassed admitting Arizona as a State after anuary 1, 1893 yeas 174, nays twelve amid vociferous applause. Mr. Forney then moved to pass the Legis lative, Executive and Judicial Appiopri -tion bill. The bill was read and passed. A bill was also passed admitting New Mexico into the Union. CONVICTS IN A' REVOLT. Tliey Killed Three Guards and Tried to Batter Down the Gates. In the Valencia (Spain) prison 274 con victs revolted as they were being marched to dinner. They overpowered the guards killed three of them, and put the rest to flight. They then smashed all the furniture of the prison and tried to find the Goverj' nor, wnom they intended to kill. He had been warned by the fleeing guards, how ever, and had left the prison. The convicts got two beams aud were pounding at the outer gates of the prison when the military arrived. General Salcedo. commander of the garrison, shouted to the convicts to desist, at the same time threat ening to cannonade the gates in case they refused. During the parleying General Sal cedo mounted the wall of the prison and explained to the convicts the impossibility of escape. The convicts eventually con sented to subav.t. The military was marched into the prison and the convicts were taken back te their quarters. The ringleaders were shot. Over $350,000 was raised in New York City for the Grant Monument fund within sixty days. General Horace Porter has an nounced, making the half million needed to completa it. This is said to be the largest sum ever raised for such a purpose in so short a time. All but 52 i, 000 of it came from residents of New York City. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Tenth National Gathering of the Party at Minneapolis. Details of the Proceedings, Scenes and Incidents. The tenth National Convention that the Republican party records in it3 annals be gan at Minneapolis, Minn., under a cloud strewn sky, with thunder in the air and un certainty in every condition. THE CONVENTION' BUILDnfO. Minneapolis and St. Paul had been wait ing impatiently for weeks to see the opening of the great convention, and thousands of people from all over the Northwest had journeved thitner to enjoy the novel specta cle. Yet, though both cities are overrun with visitors, the arrangements at the con vention hall were almost perfect, and the delegates were enabled to gather and do their work without discomfort or interfer ence. As early as 10 o'clock the march began across the bridges of the Mississippi River to the convention hall, and an hour later the first few had swelled to a steady strea n, which lasted until after the convention ha t been called to order. BENJAMIN HARRISON. The Exposition Hall, as its naras inli cates, is a big show building or permana; exhibition place for the products of Minne sota and the two Dakotas. It is a hue square wooden structure, built close to tue edge of the Falls of St. Anthony in South Minneapolis, on the opposite bank of the river from Minneapolis proper, and its tall tower commands a fine view southward of the neighboring city of St. Paul. The interior of the building is plain, but spacious, tall pillars supporting a broad, flat roof which rises in the middle a dozen feet or more into u heavy skylight through which the sun's rays filter down into central body of the hall . In this central portion are the seats for the 900 delegates. On one side of the square, court-like space in which the seats are arranged is the platform of the President, with seats on it "for perhaps 200 people, each member of the National Com mittee having a place reserved here for his JAMES G. BLAINE. From his latest photoraph. own use, and ont or two extra chairs for hi? friends. On each side of the main plat form are the seats for the newspaper press, 300 or 400 in number. Behind the space railed off for the delegates are sec tions of seats for spectators stretching back to the entrance, and above are tiers of gal leries all the way around the building. About the piilars which uphold the roof,half way up, were sheaves of wheat gracefully capped, and festooned against the gallery foot-rails about the hall were the shields and coats of arms of the forty-four States. Directly opposite the Chairman's platform, up under the roof, was a sort of elevator cage for the band. LKVI P. MORTON. The fcaU kokeJ very beautiful in th- morning sunlight.

Tn-re wers hundreds and hundreds of vacant seat in tne galleries, but not many on the ground floor, .when the time for call ing the convention to order had arrived, dut there were tOOO to 7000 persons in the nil easily enough at 12:45 when General James 8. CI ark son. Chairman of tht National Committee, stepped to the desk and took the special convention gavel ix his hand. The convention and galleries came to ordei quickly, and there was not a delegate stand ing when Mr. Clarkson announced that the session would be opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brush, Chancellor of the Uni versity of South Dakota. A moment after ward the whole convention stood as Dr. Brush, a venerable-looking man with sparsely covered head and long white beard, began to deliver the invocation. He prayed for harmony and that the platform and the other issues might be subordinated to "Thy great will." When he said "Amen," the convention settled down again with a rustling of badges that was like the whispering of autumn leaves. There was a murmur of conversation, which was hushed quickly as M . H. De Young, of California, stepped forward and read the call for the convention. At this time there were not a dozan of the delegates' seats unfilled, but the galleries were very empty. When the reading of the call was concluded, and Chairman Clarkson arose and announced that he was instructed by the National Commit tee to present to convention for its Tem porary Chairman the Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, of New York. There was a round of applause at this announcement, led by the New Yorkers, and Mr. Fassett, unescorted, left his seat and started for the platform. A path was cleared for him, and a minute later Chairman Clarkson was presenting him to the convention. He received the customary vocal welcome, the New York delegation rising and waving JOHN SHERMAN. :heir hats in his honor. Mr. Fassett looke I perfectly self-possessed as he gazed about the vast hall. In his hand was a typewrit ten manuscript, to which ho referred occa sionally as he spoke. Mr. Fassett's speech was well receive-?, the delegations listening more attentively than they usually do to the oratory of a te n ;orary chairman. The first touch upon th i entLnent of the convention came in ar WILLIAM M'KINLEY. allusion to reciprocity, artistically le I up to by the speaker. It was tha signal for a storm of cheers. The most skill ful bit was his allusion to the great names of the party Lincoln, Seward, Grant, Sher man. Garfield and Logan. The speaker paused after each name, and gave the con vention an opportunity to cheer, then, with a pause a little longer than the rest, he rap- i idly ejaculated, "Harrison and Biaine," and raising his finger as a signal, the enure con vention rose in one grand, swelling chorus of cheers for the rival candidates. Almost equal to the ovation to Harrison and Blaine was the enthusiasm inspired by a reference to ex-Speaker Reei. Mr. Rae I was seated far in the rear in the sneakers THOMAS B. REED. -: in I anl was invisible to most of the an iience. Some one started the cry oc" ilee.i V Reed !" and it was instantly taken up by the delegates and the gallery. The uiliing rang with the popular demand for the appearance of the man from Maine. ot until the Chairman of the convention turned and beckoned commandingly to him aid he finally arise from his seat and make a speech, which was frequently interrupted by appiause, which was renewed as Mr. Reed closed. There were also loud cilis tor McKinley, Foraker and Quay. General Clarkson then reported the name; p5&r MM! jp of the temporary officers of the convention, and the selections of the National Com nit tee were at once approved without opposi tion. The rules of the last Republic m National Convention were adopted, and on motion of General Seweil the roll was cilie : and the Chairman of each delegt:ou a i -nounced the members of committees -lected. RUSSELL A. ALGER. This order of business gave the spectators a chance to see some of the leading men, and all of them was sufficiently popular to receive appro vine: applause. Powell Clay ton, of Arkansas; M. H. De Young, of Cali fornia; Townsend. of Colorado; Governor Bulkeley, of Connecticut; Ingalls, of Kansas; K E. McCarns, of Maryland.: W.W. Crapo, of Massachusetts; H. M. Duffield, of Mich izan; George William Warner, of Missouri; General Sewell, of New Jersey; Warner Miller, of New York; Governor McKinley, or Ohio; Senator M. S. Quay, of Pennsyl vania; General William Mahone, of Vir ermla, and ex-Senator J. C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, were all applauded. At 1.5 P. m. the convention adjourned un til 11 A. M. next day. Immediately after the convention ad journei the Committee on Platform met and organized. Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, was elected Chairman. The Committee on Permanent Organization organized by the selection of Locswood, of Idaho, as Chairman and King, of New Hampshire, as Secretary. A sub-committee, consisting of Eilis, of Ktnsas; Thomas, of New York: T, Madison Vance, of Louisiana, and De pauw, of Indianx, was apoointei.

BURIED THE MAN ALIVE. Tlie Shots ot His Would-be Execu tions Had Only Wounded Him. An inhuman and barbarous incident con nected with an execution at Wowoko, In dian Territory, the capital of the Seminole Nation, is related by Albert Tennie, United States Commissioner. It is the custom at Wowoko to execute those convicted of a capital crime by shooting. The executioners were two members of the National Light Horse, detailed for tue purpose. They were drunk, and only wound.! the prisoner, who was tied fast. The execution ers left the ground at once and a colored man brought a rough coffin to the sido of the wounded man, who protested against the proceedings as vigorously as his strength would allow. Assisted by two other colored men, the wounded prisoner was put in the coffin, and an effort was made to nail down the lid, but the victim pushed and kicked against it so that the task was only accomplished by two of the colored men sitting on the lid while the other drove the nails. The interment was then made. The horrible affair excited but little comment among those who wit nessed the execution.
