MYSTERY NO LONG Err.
The Persons Referred to IN CIeveiand's Letter
Thought to Have Been Found.

The Persons Referred to IN Cley Glands Letter
Thought to Have Been Found.
From the New York Herald.
In letter dated August !, 1885, President
Cleveland is alleged TO have said regarding
the appointment of a territorial judge, "Your
confession comes too late to be of immediate
use to the public service"
or the seven appointees to judicial posi-
tions since the Senate adjourned that of
Edward j. Dawne, of Oregon, to be Judge of
the territorial district OF Alaska is generally
supposed to be the one who is not qualified
morally or professionally" The records at
'he state department show that Mr.. Dawne
was appointed United States judge for A laska
on July Il, 1850 His commission was dated
and countersigned that day by the secretary
OF state. No sooner had the pre- sident
made the appointment than kilograms
were received from Portland and Salem.
Oregon, to the effect that the appointment OF
Mr. Dawne, ii correctly reported, was a great
surprise to the Democrats of that state. The
kilograms were more in the way of inquiry,
the Impression being that the press dis
patches had, perhaps, confused the names.
But before these kilograms were received the
president was committed by his executive
act to the appointment of Mr.. Dawne. The
records OF the executive mansion, depart
ment OF justice and state department could
not be defaced. All showed the appointment
OF Mr. Dawne and the issue OF the commits
sion to him.
President Cleveland was worried. He
had already suspended Judge McAllister,
jr., TO make room TOR Dawne, because 1t was
alleged that McAllister was not fit to be a
Judge There was ON 9 thing, howeyer--the
commission had not been mailed to the ap.
pointee and he had not yet taken the oath OF
Office While the worry was going on a
letter was received from, 1t is said, ex-Sena,
tor Grover, OF Oregon, whose home is at
Salem, where Dawne resides. His letter and
the presidents reply are now common prop
erty.

AN EXCELLENT GAME
OF BASE BALL ON raE ISLAND
Yesterday A4tsrnoou-rhs olpbe,, of Bel

Tune of to o-so,ne very Fine Play
msby Home days Game.

A small but well pleased crowd saw yes
lerday's McKeespon.G lobe aams, and no
one left the ground disSatisfsd, unless it
might have been the visiting team. Smith
pitched Tor the Globes in grand form and
received superb support from Westlake,
who, although he was entirely unfamiliar
with Smiths delivery, caught him as il he
bad been supporting him for years. Tho
remainder OF the team did nice, clean
work, being marred only by tumble Of
Sol. Whites and muff OF foul by West
lake. Westlake's error did not prove
costly, as the batter went out on the next
chance offered. The visitors did the worst
work in the field, but thrir defeat was
mainly due to their utter inability to
faihon Smiths curves. Inning after in
Mug they fsced the tall man from the
Smoky City only N Ian out or 20 bat the
bail into some tielG, g hands.
In the seventh inning Patterson broke
the ice and saved the team from being en-.
tirely laid out by lining a beauty to centre,
but tho good bumored catcher got no fur
Their than second.
The Globes began scoring in the fret
inning, when White tailed on being hit
with the ball, passed ball and wild
pitch.
In the third inning Sol White and
George crossed the plate on Georges ain
gle and three errors. In the fourth Dunn
led off with safe hit TO left, stole second
and came in on Williams two.baggcr to
left centre, Williams also scoring on two
passed balls. The Globes ended their run
getting in the eighth inning, when Smith
and Dunn tailed onSmith's and Williams
singles, mutfed fly by Torreyson and a
passed. ball. To-day both teams play again
at O'Clock. Smith, y lelt-handed tTister,
will pitch for McKeespnrt, and Dunn will
occupy the box for Bellaire, Smith taking
Dams place OF yesterday. A good game
may be expected, as the visitors will try
hard TO quit even.
