In A statement made yesterday be-
fore the Senate subcommittee on Labor
and Education, at New York, Mr..
Lyman Phillips, of Cincinnati, cigar
maker, stated that children from eight
to twelve years of age are employed in
the manufacturing of cigars. He struck
the correct keynote when lie farther
said that Congress would be doing "A
great benefit to the country at large,
if it would pass a law to prevent this
system of child labor. If the poe,
Burns lived i'll the present age and
were to see this system of child
slavery, his popular poetic etiusion en-.
titled MANS inhumanity to man, ;
would have teemed with additional
melancholy, thought and sentiment
Every Legislature in the United States
should immediately pass laws prohibit
ing such inhuman acts of cruelty tt
children.

HOW u Pitch Base Hail.

Ir is amusing to watch the motions
of base hall pitchers, especially by one
who Is novice in base ball matters,
An expert pitcher is never in hurry,
unless some fellow is stealing bases
and then he fairly boils over with
activity. But when things settle down
little and couple Of fellows are on
the bases, he shows up the little practi'
cal points in a pitcher. The ball is
rolled to him very carefully and he
picks it up. He stands with his back
to one Of the runners and with a cum.
ming inclination of the head looks
over his shoulder at the fellow on the
first base and he cocks the other eye on
the fe How at the second base. He then
looks at the bail and commences to
count the stitches in one of the seams
Then he suddenly looks up to see if it
is cloudy.
Then he faces to the left and turns
suddenly back again and scares the
fellows on the bases by q threatened
movement to throw the ball at them
The fellows thinking he is in earnest
fall down in the dust, scramble up and
lay tight hold of q bag of sand at the
bases as if the bags could save them.
The pitcher grins at the fellows and
then turns around again He looks a
his ball to see if it has suffered any
since he last looked mt it. Then h,
looks slyly at the fellow on first ant
cocks his eye again on the fellow a
second. Then he draws back his arm
Then he rubs the ball on his hip Il
clean off the dust So it wont make q
mark OH the fellow at the bat when
hits him below the ear. Then h
swings himself, cranes his neck, lunge
forward his arm with an almighty
ljerk.
The ball speeds like lightning toward
Lne three Iel!OWS al tne nome plate.-
The fellow at the bat twists himself int
, the letter "S" so that the ball won
f hit him. The fellow with gloves OF
pokes his fingers out in the way OF tn
= ball, and then jerks it back agai
wringing his hand AS if he had got somt
thing nasty on it. The fellow behinC
whose duty it was to call Zone ball,
, "foul, strike " and such thing
jumps to one side while the ball speed
q on its way bringing up with tremer
y dous bang against the reporters stand
while the fellows on the first and secon
bases make safe runs. Oh il is some
thing to be an expert pitcher, you bel

THE CHINA W AR.
Ten Thousand Chinese Troops at Can.
tOn-SeriOus Aspect OF Affairs.

LONDON, Oct. %.
despatch from Hong Kong states that
reliable advices from Yum Nau confirm the
report that the Chinese are assisting the
Black Flags in AMMAN, who number 5000
men exclusive of those in the garrison at
Ba Ninah and Sontay. The Viceroy at Can
ton objects TO foreigners traversing the
streets of the city. He has 10000 men col
centrated in the vicinity of Canton, ostense-
bly, on account of an anticipated popular
commotion, but doubtless really in readiness
to resist an expected French attack. The
Viceroy has asked for the loan of 10, ZOO. 900
taels, W hich he alleges is needed for rhe pay
ment of losses incurred in the recent rioting.
His agents also ask for arms. The latest ad-
vices from Tonquin report all quiet there.
The VicerOv of Canton complains of the
withdrawal of the Portuguese gun-boat hav.
ing on board the watchman charged with
drowning q Chinaman. The Viceroy has
demanded that the watchman be handed over
to the British courts for trial. The Portu-
guese officials in reply said the prisoner W as
at Maco, and if the Chinese wished they
could prosecute him there. This NAV lead
to trouble with Portugal. People in Yum
Nau believe the Chinese army is preparing to
wage a war of determination against all for
eigners.

Lieutenant Garlington's official report
of his failure to accomplish anything to
relieve the Greedy party reveals no DISC
bedience to orders. He did not establish
a winter station at Life Boat Cove before
pushing further north. because he never
received the so-called supplemental or
ders from General Hazen directing him to
do SO. The only thing which approached
these "instructions" was the copy Of a
memorandum apparently intended to have
been the basis Of orders for the command
er OF the Yantic. This is valid defence
on Mr.. Garling.on's part. But it will be
interesting to hear what led the War De-
partment, when the news of the failure of
the expedition first came, to lay
such stress on Instructions. and
which were not intended for Leuten-
ant Darlington anyhow. A good defence
il not made out for the retreat from Little
ton Island. 1t seems 10 have been mere
ly sad mistake in judgment which no
explanation excuses. Mr.. Darlington did
not believe the Yantic could get to Little
ton Island" and 'he expected to find
at Cape York the Swedish steamer Sophia"
which he seems to have hoped to use in
Greely's behalf in some way. His fears
about the Yantic were unreasonable, as
the event showed, and there was little or
nothing to be hoped for from the Sophia
does not alter the essential facts in the
matter. Lieutenant Darlington did not
disobey orders; but he apparently lost his
head. The whole expedition seems to
have been badly mismanaged.
