Another PostpOnement-AL Letter from
DaVitt-A FizzIe.


DaVitt-A FizzIe.
DUBLIN, April 4.-The trial of the per-
sons charged with the PheniX Park
murders and other crimes, which it was
expected would begin on Tuesday, will
be postponed for few days, owing to the
fact that sufficient funds have not been
raised for the conduct of the defence. 1t
is the intention of the accused men, when
asked on their arraignmentin in court fifth ey
are ready for trial, to request that they
be furnished with counsel.
Mr.. JenkinsOn, Director of the Irish
Criminal Investigation Department has
sent letters of recall to those of the Irish
detective force who have been operating
in France,
Michael Davitt from his prison has
written a vigorous letter to the Young
Ireland Society at Glasgow, in which he
says that the dynamite policy can only
have the effect of eXasperating the Eng
lish democracy. He declares that it
would be far better to work and wait for
another twenty years than to play into
the hands of Ireland's enemies by giving
rein to despair and revenge.
LIMERICK, April 1.-THE public meet
ing which was held here yesterday for
the purpose of giving to Mr.. Parnell a
substantial testimonial of the estimation
in which he is held proved to be a fiasco.
Only forty persons subscribed to the pro-
iected fund for raising the encumbrance
on his farm, and the scheme was tempo
rarily, at least, abandoned.
LONDON, April 4.-The Standard says
that on account of the threatened division
in the Irish party it is probable that Par
nell Will not go to America.

ROME, April 4.-The story of the triple
defensive alliance of Germany, Austria
and Italy against France, which is now
generally looked ON as a feeIer, has been
made the occasion by the press of Italy
for many anti-French articles. lie Liberia.
for instance, has an editorial setting
forth that if the French republic
assumes arrogant airs in her deal
ings with the other countries of
Europe she will find herself confronted
with the unpleasant spectacle of several
powers united for mutual defense. The
Journal de Rome, clerical paper, goes
still further. 1t says: ''From the Baltic
to the Island of Sicily the French repub-
lie has none but enemies. If she but
moves finger she is at the mercy of her
enemies, if there is the slightest cduSuS
beli, and Italy will not fail, when the
chief of the alliance gives the smallest
sight, to find such cause on few minutes
notice."
PEsTH, April 4.-The reported alliance
between Germany, Austria and Italy,
formed the subject of discussion in the
Lower House of the Diet to-day. An in
terpellatiOn was introduced as to whether
such an alliance really existed. 1t was
stated in reply that the question would
have to be referred to Herr Won TisZa,
President of the Council, before an an
swer could be given.

$3,O64,550. A prominent official of the
Treasury Department, commenting upon
the fact that the amount of bonds
surrendered was so much less than the
amount the department offered to redeem,
said that it indicated either that the

great haste TO exchange them for money.

VIGNAUX RUNS 246.
The Best Run on Record Made at the
Chicago Tournament.


Chicago Tournament.
CHICAGO, April 4.-The game of bill
lizards between Sexton and Wallace in
the balk line tournament this afternoon
was One-sided and uninteresting. Sexton
scored 600, averaged 10 20-5S, and his
highest run was 81. Wallace scored 407.
averaged S-57, and his highest run was
13. VignauX and Morris played in the
evening before small audience, as the
weather was rainy and there was
no promise of contest. Morris
turned the first string ahead by a
score of 103 to 80, but Vignaux
in the tenth inning made 70, which
brought his score to 159. Morris little
later came up to within one point, but
was quickly left in the rear, and was
never close again. The great event of the
evening, and of the tournament. was in
the ninth inning, when VignauX ran the
game out with 246, making the best run
on record, and making the highest aver
age. He seemed to have little notion of
accomplishing the result when he began
the inning, and until he reached the tenth
inning he played rather reclllessly and a
quite open game. He had the balls on
the rail twice but did not care to keep
them long, but as he passed 100 he took
and did it in magnificent fashion.
From this time forth every shot
was made with extreme care, and
while he did small proportion of close
nursing, his long drives for position were
phenOmenally accurate, and as a cOnse-
quence he had very few difficult shots to
make. Whenever the balls were separa-
ted he collected them quickly with one or
two well judged strokes and completed the
run, which made him game with perfect
cease. He closed with the balls still in
position for many more. Vignaux scored
500, averaged 81 11-19 and his highest run
was 246.
Morris scored 1877, averaged 10 7-19 and
his highest run was go. Tomorrow
Schaefer and Dion play inithe afternoon
and Sexton and DAILY in the evening.
