BRAVE DEEDS PRAISED.
Engineer Winship of the 'Benninz-
ton Especially Commended.
IVASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The navy
department has made public a report'
from Commander Taussig of the Ben-
nington, with appended reports of sub-
ordinate oflicers, concerning an engage-
ment at Malabon the 4th of March last.
The purpose of the department in mak-
ing public the repert appears to be sole-
ly to make known the gallant conduct of
the sailors engaged and particularly. that
of Assistant Engineer Winship.
A landing was made at Malabon by a
force from the Bennington, the purpose
being to take photographic views of the
damage wrought by the big shells from
the Monadnock fired at the priest’s house
the preceding week. Although told by
some Chinamen that there were no arm.
ed Filipinos about, Commander Taussig
took ample precautions to ' prevent a
surprise. One of the steps taken was
to post the tender Balanga so as to
enfilade the north wall. This boat was
in charge of AssiStant Engineer Win-
ship and rendered great service. The
enemy appeared behind the intrench-
ments and fired upon the Bennington's
people and upon the Balanga, and after
an hour of desultory shooting, not being
authorized to retain the placeand hav-
ing taken the photographs desired, Com<
mander Taussig withdrew his men, who
were fired at as they rowed away in
their boat-
Winship is especially commended for
gallantry by Commander Taussig. He
said he fired the 37 millimeter on the
Balanga 87 times and, although wound-
ed early in the action, retained charge of
the. gun and the Balanga not only
throughout the action, but until the ship
returned to her anchorage about noon.
The Balanga was lying bows on to the
beach, very hotly engaged with the ene-
my in- the trenches, and the fire of mus~
ketry against them was hot, although
her men fought without cover till the
Bennington’s landing force had got safe-
ly beyond range. Upon his return to the
Bennington “’inship, though wounded
in five places, sent the doctor to look aft-
er Cockswain Terry, who was slightly
wounded, before asking for medical at-
tendance for himself. Commander Tans—
sig commends for especial-consideration
Chief Master~at-Arms “Tilliam Mackay, .
Cockswain Terry and Private Kirkman,
although he says the entire battalion be-
haved so gallantly that were he to name
the deserving he would furnish a roster
of the battalion. Ensign E. H. Camp-
bell is mentioned as deserving great
credit for the skill displayed in placing
the Bennington during the engagement
with the shore, he being at the time in
command of the ship.
Opposition Steel and “fire Company.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 16.——A counter
combination is being organized to oppose
the American “'ire and Steel company.
There are 27 woven wire fence manufac—
turing firms embraced in the warring ca-
bal. They want a steel wire mill of their
own. Among the most prominent firms
at a conference in Chicago were the
Pittsburg ‘Voven ‘Nire and Fence com-
pany, the De Kalb Fence company of De
Kalb, Ills.; the Lamb Fence company of
Adrian. Mich; the Kitzleman Fence com-
pany of Indianapolis and the Keystone
Fence company of Peoria, Ills.

' NATIONAL. LEAGUE SEASON.
Brooklyn Won the Pcinnant—How
‘ the Clubs Played. .
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—In the Na-
tional leaghe baseball race just finished
excitement on the whole was at a dis-
count. There were many exciting games,
and in some respects the playing, gen-
erally speaking, was high class. It was
too much of a procession to be a race.
Long before the season ended the Brook-
lyns were conceded to be the coming
champions, their lead after they once
went to the front, which was on May 22,
seldom being so small as not to be
reckoned as safe. The real fight was
for second place.
Boston gave indications at times of
wresting the lead from Brooklyn, doing
some fine playing in the west, but fail-
ing to put up the old invincible game at
home.
The Philadelphia team, which finished
third in the race, were a bit too streaky
to win the pennant, but still enough to
be dangerous. They held the lead at
one time, in the first part of April, but
by the middle of June they were as low
as fifth. Then they began climbing up
again and for the last three months al-
ternated with Boston in second and third
places.
Baltimore finished fourth. In April
and May the Baltimores were in the
second division, but they went into the
first division with a rush. They jumped
from seventh place to third in the short
space of two weeks. They have held
fourth place for the last two and a half
months. .
The St. Louis team proved disappoint-
ing. They were the only team besides
the Brooklyns that held the lead for any
length of time. At difierent times, how-
ever, they occupied every position in
the first division. '
The Cincinnatis have to their credit
the most remarkable spurt of the sea-
son, winning 13 straight games.
The Pittsburg team was a second divi-
sion factor from the start, but they did
especially well in the last two months,
when their playing was of first division
caliber.
The Chicagos, who started Oil? Well,
gradually went down the scale, winding
up eighth, and the Louisvilles did a
shade worse.
The New Yorks made the worst show-
ing ever made by a New York league
team. It may be said with grief of the
New Yorks that they got away poorly
and staid there.
The Washington and Cleveland aggre-
gations were next to last and last. Of
the latter it can simply be said that no
league team ever did so poorly.
Cuba’s Census.
HAVANA, Oct. 17.—The taking of the
census throughout the island has begun.
The census office estimates that a day’s
enrollment will be approximately 13,000
names. The people received the enumera-
tors well and gave all the desired infor-
mation readily. No difficulty is expected
in the cities.

WAREHOUSE IN CHINA.
National Association of Manufactur-
ers Will Display American Goods.
, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18. —With
reference to the warehouse which the
National Association of Manufacturers is
to establish in Shanghai, President Theo-
dore C. Search made the following state-
ment: ‘
“There have been so many erroneous
and misleading public statements relative
to the American warehouse in Shaghai
that it becomes necessary to state the
‘facts in order to avoid any further mis‘
understanding. For more than six months
past the National Association of Manu-
facturers has been making preparations
for the establishment in Shanghai of a .
large warehouse for the display and sale
of American goods made by the members ,
of the association, and we have advanced .
so far with our plans that we shall prob- -
ably be able to open the warehouse for
business about the first of the year; We
have no thought of erecting a building.-
as has 'been stated ,in the papers, and
there is no connection whatever between
the American warehouse in Shanghai
and the National Export exposition in
Philadelphia or the Philadelphia Com—
merclal museum. jThere is no intention
to take exhibits from the exposition to
our warehouse in Shanghai, and none of
the exhibitors has been approached with
any such proposition. The warehouse in
Shanghai is exclusively an alfair of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
and its facilities will be available only to
our own members, a large number of
whom have already contracted for the
display of their samples.
“The warehouse will contain two de-
partments, one for the display of goods
and the other for making sales. The
financial arrangements which have been
made in the United States and in China
will permit the transacticm of all busi‘
ness upon a cash basis, and any goods
that may be sold through the warehouse
will be paid for at the time of shipment
from the United States. The association
itself will not undertake any business
transactions, but the selling department
will be conducted under the supervision
and control of the association, and every
provision will be afforded for the protec-
tion of its members and for promoting
their business.
“I regard this movement on the part of
the association as
step that has ever been taken in China
with a view to the extension of American
trade in that country. It will be entirely
an American institution from beginning
to end. This warehouse will be the sec-
ond in a series of such establishments
which the association has undertaken.
The first was opened in Caracas, Venezu-
ela, a year and a half ago, and plans for
others to follow the one in Shanghai are
now under consideration.”
