THE BROWNS TURN TAIL,
DEFEAT BEING CERTAIN THEY
DODGE 1T BY NOT PLAYING.

Efforts to Replace KiIrOy and Burns
with the Battery of the CIinches OBJ
jected to by the Dixies and no Game
the Result-The Stars Again Defeat
the At1antas.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 9.-No game was
played between the Dixies and Browns
this afternoon. The up train to-day from
Augusta brought to Atlanta Hamann
and Merritt, the battery Of the CIinches,
and these men the Browns asked to be al
lowed to substitute in place of Kilroy and
Burns. The management of the Augusta
team claimed that Burns was not able to
play on account Of an injured hand. The
Dixies could not view the proposal in
that light, claiming that, besides the fact
that they had come here to play the
Browns and not the Clinches, the Au-
gusta nine had Charley jackson and one
or two other substitutes, men,
bers of their organization that they
could put in the diamond if
they wanted to. The DiXies also objected
to playing with Hamann and Merritt as
a battery on the ground that it would be
doing an injustice to their friends who
had placed money on them. President
Johnson, of the DiXies, and Verdery, of
the Browns, had conference with a view
to settling the difference between the two
clubs without satisfactory results. The
first intimatiOn the Dixies had that a
movement was on foot to put in the Clinch
battery was when Hamann and Merritt
reached the hotel and stated the object of
their coming here. The large crowd as
sembled at the park to witness the game
expressed much dissatisfaction when
the information reached the park
that the game was off. The Dixies leave
tonight for Griffin to play an exhibition
game with the LightfOots of that place
Monday. The club will reach Savannah
Tuesday morning.
The Browns were at the park this after
noon practicing for their games with the
Atlantas next week

1t is stated, semi-Oficially, that nego-

only resulted in an offer on the part of
China of an illusory indemnity. The
time given to China 10 accept the French
ultimatum expired Aug. 4. France was
obliged to support her demands by seiZing
towns. Admiral Lespes, therefore, on
Aug. occupied the port of Kellung and
the coal mines in the vicinity.

Chang that the duration of the French oo-
cupation depends entirely upon the Hung
Iii Yamen, which can shorten it by pay-
ing an indemnity of S0,000,0 900 francs In

Everything Turned over to Maj. Gen.
Hancock at Governors Island.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The original pa
pers, comprising the record of Lieut..
Greely's Arctic search, and the most in
teresting of the relics of that ill-fated
expedition, were to-day delivered into the
custody of MaJ. Gen. Hancock at Gov
ernor's Island by Capt. Sebre, of the
Thetis. There were four boxes
containing clothing, papers and
curiOsities accumulated by the
different members Of theE;creW. Many
of them were preserved as memorials Of
the dead heroes who collected them in the
Arctic regions. In the bottom of the
launch lay the broken topgallant mast
and tattered American flag which Lieut..
Greedy planted in the ice as a signal Of
distress, which was the means of their
rescue by the relief party. Across the
boxes lay a sled about five feet in length
and three in width. 1t was one manu-
factured by Lieut.. Greely from broken
pieces of small boat and
fastened together with strong
strips of skin. 1t was shod with strips of
iron. The official records of Lieut..
Greely's search for two years were in
cased in tin boxes and strapped to
large plank, which would have served as
a buoy and kept the reports from being
lost in case of collision,
