Gone into History

LONDON, April 3.-In the House of
Commons this afternoon, Lord Edmund
FitZmaurice, Under Foreign Secretary, in
reply to Mr.. Kennard, who questioned
him with regard to certain structures
which appeared recently in New York
newspapers about the manner in which
the United States had dealt with the sum
awarded by the Geneva Conference
for the compensation of the suf-
ferers by the depredations of Confederate
cruisers, said that it was contrary to
usage and inconsistent with the dignity
of the House to have discussion on a
passage in foreign newspaper destitute
of official character, and only represent
ing the opinion of its own writer's. He
said that the Alabama question was now
only of historical importance, and the
government had no interest in the manner
in which the American Government dis
posed of the money.

Tournament

Brilliant Exhibition in the Chicago
Tournament.
CHICAGO, April 3.-In the afternoon
game to-day between Dion and Morris,
Dion was the favOrite, the odds being 10
to 6. Morris started off in much the bet
ter style of the two, and soon
had lead of over 100. He
reached 237 in the eighteenth inning
by run of 65, Dion's score being
81. In the first inning Morris made l0l.
the largest run of his record. This brought
his total to $50 against 300 for Dion. ''Joev
followed with his best run for the dav. So.
in which he did some good playing for the
first time, but he was too far behind to
make success possible and Morris won.
The following are the scores: Morris 60O
highest run lOl, averaging 10: Dion $40.
highest run 60, averaging 1899.
In the evening game between Schaefer
and Daley, the former was the fayOrite at
100 to 300. Daley showed the most speed
at the start. In the tenth inning he had
made 3S and had a favorable position
when he fouled by brushing a piece of
chalk off the rail against ball. Schaefer
prOtited but little by the circumstance
and in his eleventh inning Daley made 81,
which gave him a total of 1862, Schaefer
having 135. Maurice clinched this
advantage by making Al in
the twelfth inning, so that he
led Schaefer by a score of 209 to 1876.
Schaefer took the lead in the thirteenth
inning with a handsome ran of 151,
chiefly made by nursing near the cushion.
His next important run was 159 in the
nineteenth inning, when by the
handsomest and most varied style
of play he counted on all
parts of the table, finally missing an easv
cushion carOm through carelessness. His
concluding run of 81 was full of clever
plays. Schaefer scored 600. average u
6-22, and his highest run was 159. Daley
scored PAL, average IL 1921, and his high
est run was 81. The time of the game
was one hour and forty-iive minutes. To-
morrOw's games will be between Sexton
and Wallace and Vignaux and Morris.

DORSEY BREATHING FREER.
Mr.. Merrick Finishes the Ex-SenatOr's
Cross Examination

WASHINGTON, April 3.-In the star
route trial to-day the cross-examination
of Mr.. Dorsey was continued, and was
directed almost entirely to statements in
Mr.. Rerdel's testimony. The witness
continued his point blank denial of every
thing which Mr.. Rerdell had said. and
counter accusations against Mr.. RerdelI.
When he left New York the witness had
no definite idea of the means he should
adopt for his protection. He did not be-
Iieve that he prepared any part of Mr..
RerdelPs retracting affidavit, and he
could not remember whether or not he
had interpolated any portion. He was
asked how that affidavit came to be di-
rected to the President of the United
States. The witness wished to confer
with the counsel but the court refused
the request. He then said that affidavit
had been submitted to Colonel Ingersoll
and was by his direction addressed to the
President, and believed that Mr.. Rerdell
wrote the words, ''Mr. President" He
did not recOllect that he the witness }
wrote these words. Probably the affidavit
had been rewritten. If he the witness
had written it better English would have
been used Mr.. Merrick endeavored to
secure an admission that the witness
had written or suggested anY portion of
the affidavit. but he steadily refused to
make any positive statements about what
had occurred four years ago. 1t was pos
sible that he had suggested changes.
He was asked if he had not Sought

removal of MessrS. James and MacVearh.

helnOus Ofenses in seeking to procure his
Mr.. Dorsey's) books and papers to be
stolen. He rather defiantly replied that
he had done everything he could to secure
their removal, that the charges in the
atldaylt were true, and that Governor
Foster, of Ohio, had told the President
substantially the same thing, and had
said that these officers should be removed.
The witness OpiniOnwas that if the Presl-
dent had lived week longer he
would have followed that advice. He
Indignantly repelled the assump-
tion that he had sought protection
from Messrs. James and McVeagh,
asking if the counsel believed that a
plsmlre could hurt an elephant. The
question having been reiterated the wit
ness said that If he had not tried in every
possible way to have Messrs. James and
McNeagh removed his tongue had not
known its cunning. The crOss-eXamina-
tion was directed to the Wilcox letters.
which Mr.. Dorsey denied having written.
MIR. Merrick then announced that the
was closed. The de-
tense had expected longer cross-eXami-
nation, and had no other witness ready,
so the court adjourned.

Continued RumOrs that the Present
Ministry Will Soon Resign.
PARIS, April 3.-The reason given why
the retirement of General Thebaudin from
the Ministry of War may be expected is
that Waldeck Rousseau, Minister of the
Interior, refused to have published in the
official journal note, the effect of which
would have been to deprive General De-
gallifet of the command of the cavalry.
The ramiticatiOns and manGuvres of this
dispute are important as showing the
aversion which the extreme Republicans
have to General Degallifet and to the
other leaders who took an active hand in
the suppression of the Commune. The
rumOrs that Cabinet changes are immi-
nent continue to- be circulated. La
France says: "Prime Minister Ferry has
telegraphed to NJ. Tierard, Minister
of Finance, who is at present insAlgeria,

LONDON, April 3.-Lord Randolph
ChurchilPs letter asserting to the right of
Lord Salisbury to the leadership of the

in Parliamentary and political circles.
Lord Salisbury has thought proper to as

tive leader, that he does not sympathize
with the sentiments conveyed in Lord
ChurchilPs communication to the Times.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte rose to ask a a-ques-
tlOn, when he was greeted with prolonged
cheers from the Tory side. This is re-
garded as a strong demonstration that the
letter of Lord Randolph Churchill is not
approved by the Conservatives.
