about nineteen, 1t has required The most strenuous
efforts OF both families to bring about the match. The
Faefa family have brought to Apia over 400 pigs,
killed and cooked, and distributed them among ths
young ladys relations. In return for these the family

Base ball among the National Association
clubs Is on the wane. When the season opened the
prospects were that ut least nine clubs would enter
the ranks to battle for the pennant, but only the
Nationals and Albanys showed up with suitable mines
at first, hut they were shortly afterward Joined by
the laltlmores. For two months these three
clubs formed the association, when they received the
addition OF the Athletics, OF Philadelphia, and the
Rochesiers to their ranks OF the former not enough
games have been played to Justify them membership.
The disarmament OF the Baltimores about two weeks
ago then practically left only the Abanys Nationals,
and Rochesters In the association, and that the
Albanys have also disbanded, the only clubs left
the Nationals and Nochesters. The Albanys dis
banded on Monday last, giving reason that they
could not secure u suitable pitcher.
The standing of the League clubs is as fol-
lows below. Lovers of the game have witnessed this
season the finest exhibition of ball playing
In this country. The success of the Chicago team Ia
unparalleled, they having now twenty three
straight games feat never before accomplished In
the history of the game.

The charge amounts to this, that Hancock

conceive constitutional authority 10 lie. We Ind

ON the other hand IL Is one Of the few piesumptye
evidences Of liancock's capacity for civil admin
istration. The American theory Of government

soldier is raised aud trained amid the atmosphere

the House sustained the claim OF Tden the PTesi-

that Is vain TO speculate upon the decree Of moral
error involved IN declaration for the other OF
