Building improvements have been

Base.RaII.-NlaIden vs. LeWIsLown.

According to announcement, the
Maiden Baseball Club played its sec
ond game Of the season, at Lewistown,
on Sunday last Prior to the game our
boys anticipated a red hot contest, and
went into the field determined to gather
in all the leather and yarn that came
their way. The Lewistown nine retired
with one run for their first bout at the
ball, while the Maiden club scored six
Iewistown was then whitewashed twice
in succession, while the Maidenites
added five to their score. About this
point in the game the Maiden catcher
Dean, had his second finger on his right
hand broken at the second joint, thus
disabling him for effective work behind
the bat though he pluckily stood at his
post through the greater portion of the
game. Had he not met with this acci-
dent the contrast in the score would
have been far greater. The following
shows the number of runs made at
each inning:

END or THE CONFERENCE.

The collapse of the Egyptian Conference will
not be regretted by Mr.. Gladstonc's Cabinet.
ANY arrangement which might have been made
with the French Ministry would have been
viewed with suspicion in England and would
have nrovcd fresh source of embarrassment to
the Liberals in Parliament. The adjournment
of the Conference extricates the Ministry from
entanglipg alliances with the French Govern
mcnt. The vexatious debates on Egyptian
policv cannot be renewed and the Ministry are
at liberty to devote their energies Opromotlnga
widespread and effective agitation in behalf OF
the Reform bill If their negotiations for re-
vision of the Law of Liquidation are barren OF
result, they have not made any blunderS' ana
England Is left to deal with the Egyptian crisis
without having multiplied the international
agencies or having increased the diplomatic
prestige of France. The general result places
the Ministry in the crcdtable position OF hav-
ing made an honest effort to secure the united
action of the Power, and of having resisted the
ambitious designs of a jealous rival. Inc
Egyptian debates can now be faced with coniI-
dcncc. The English people seem to be losing
their interest in the subject. Let General Cor
don return from KhaItoum. and the Egyptian
question will De referred To the specialists, i'll ST

The ultimate solution of the Egyptian ques-
ton cannot. however, be deferred indefinitely
The French Ministry, or to speak more ac-
curatcly the French bondholdcrs, may have
ovcrrcachcd themselves in declining to accept
the English proposition. The decision respect
ing the pressing necessities OF the Egyptian
treasury may have been defcrrcdtO more con
venicnt season, greatly to the relief Of Liberal
politicians but the question remains unSolvcd
and upon the solution hangs not only the
political destiny of the Nile countries, but the
continuance even of that feeble system of make
shifts and compromises known as Anglo Egyp-
tian administration. The deficiency now cN-

of native officials and English Undcr-Sccrc-
tarics has been signal failure even in a linan-
cial SENSE Some substitute must speedily be
found for an anomalous system and an empty
treasury. English administration offers the
only alternative.

THE PORTSMOUTH RECEPTION.

The reception of Lieutenant Greedy and his
rc,cucrs in Portsmouth was hearty tribute of
respect and admiration for American grit. The
remnant of the Arctic garrison which had dis
charged its duty 80 faithfully in the interest of
science, and had struggled 50 bravcly to carry
the National nlS beyond the confines of Eng
liSh discoveries deserved recognition for its
courage, its suffering, and its pluck Licutcn-
ant Grccly has won his place in every sympa-
thctic heart ~ one OF the heroes of American
adventure; and his companions will be well
coined wherever they 90 a, brave and patient
soldiers, vino endured manfuly the priyations
of the scientific camp, the periS of an arduous
retreat and the crushing diSappolntmcnts and
agonizng suilerng> Of the wntering at Cape
Sabine. The rcScucrs also deserved the honors
accorded to them. No drawer deed was ever
recorded than this gallant rescue. 1t is an
achievement honorable alike to officers and
men. The ships travcrscd Melville Bay and APP
preached Cape Sabine under a pressure of
necessity which did not admit of deliberate cal
en- latiOn of risks or o weighing of arguments.
The orders were To- make all haste and TO press
on to the rescue and the pitable spectacle in
Starvation Camp justified the rapid course and
the rockies, energy. No incident in the annals
of the United States Navy is more dramatic or
more pathetic than the rescue of those diving
ca>tawayS Lieutenant Greedy, like the gallant
De Long, was reading with feeble, Gckcring
breath the prayers for the dying, and had aban-
doned hope. But thanks to the gallant officers
and brave men of the Thctis and the Bear. help
came before it was too late and the Arctic
heroes were delivered.
No story of American her0sm and devotion
10 duty has ever made a deeper impression upon
fine public mind than the rescue of Lieutenant
Grrcly and hi, companions. At first there was a
foolish cutlery in some quarters against Arctic c1-
ploration rs involving terrible suffering and
loss of life without offering in return any results
of po,itve value to mankind. Happily this
clamor has already ceased and Lieutenant
Greedy and the lamentcd Lieutenant Lockwood
are now accorded the high honor of demon
strating anew that pluck, daring and the spirit
of adventure are still in the blood of American
soldiers. They did not go north for any hap
hazard scheme of exploration. They yolun-
tceled for scientific work on a large scale in
conjunction with parties of trained observers
from the European capitals That work was
faithfully performed and the results have been
carefully preserved. But they were not content
with the mechanical service which was expected
of them. They awaited themselves of 0pp0r-
tunitcs for extending the domain of human
knowledge, and they did not retreat southwasd

1 POINT FOR CYL SERVICE REFOR1ERS.

a
The Civil Service Reform Association of the
United States meets at Newport this week.
Mr.. George William Curtis is president of the
association. When the time came for tho cleo
ton of officers at last years meeting, on motion
Mr.. Curtis was unanimously reelected presi-
dent Perhaps the same compliment will be
paid him this year in case he desires to remain
in Office
But certainly if he Is reelected his contlnu-
ance will be due, not to what he is doing, but to
what he has done for the cause of civil service
reform. He has glorious future as n civil SER
vice reformer-behind him. As Republican
he did very much to promote the reform. Now
he is doing his best TO retard it, since he Is
dong his best to restore to power the party
which he lately characterized as I" a conspiracy
for spoils and plumber When men gather
cranes from thOrns or figs from thistles they
will secure civil service reform from a conspr-
acy for spoils and plumber. And nobody under
stands this better than Mr.. Curtis. SO perhaps
n sense of tho fitness of things will constraln
him not to be candidate.
Another eminent civil service reformer, MIR.
Carl Schurz, will attend the meeting. viii he
be in favor of Mr.. Curtis's election? Certainly
not, unless he has materially altered his opinion
of Democracy rs n civil service reformer. 1t
was not long ago that Mr.. SchuH expressed
himself as follows: "But one thing il certain
" that the Democratic party, after its fashion,
"wil reform the civil service That it will Ger
"tainly do; it will do it according to an old
" democratic principle-to the victor belong the
"spoils. That principle is of Democratic origin
and the Democratic party has adhered to it
awth fidelity worthy of the best cause"
Does Mr.. Schurz argue that a man who supports
that sort of Il party is truly good man for
president of the Civil Service Reform Assoca-
tion
We never heard of Mr. Robert Ingersol
running for the presidency of the American
Bible Society.
