MILWAUKEE, June Elm spite of the
threatening weather this afternoon about
=, 1000 people witnessed the second game be-
tween the st. Paul and Milwaukee ball
teams. FasS pitched for the MilwaukeeS,
and did good work, all the hits made off
him being too scattered to permit them to
count. O'Brien pitched the first five in
nings for the visitors, Cleveland pitched
the fifth and sixth innings and Wilmot the
last three innings. Sexton kept I'D his
batting average, while McCullom did good
work with the stick. Cleveland, as usual,
played strong game for the visitors. The
spectators were treated to a very childish
exhibition of bad temper by both clubs.
During the afternoon the clouds grew
blacker and the rain began to sprinkle
when the Milwaukees were at
the bat for their half Of the fifth inning,
and the visitors purposly made ERRORS to
prolong the game, hoping that a heavy
shower would set in and avert defeat.
Quinlin made the play go on. however. and
after the st. Pauls had piled up number
OF errors by their bad playing. the sun came
out again and the last hopes of the St. Paul
men was dashed. Both sides scored two
runs each in the first inning but none Of
the Minnesota men saw the home plate

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. d. Lyman,
chief of the navigation division of the treas
ury department, has made the following
statement i'll regard to the published card
of Mr.. William S. Treefthen of Portland,
Me-, who cited the cases of the American
schooner Monterey and the Canadian
schooner Sisters to show that our govern
ment officials discriminate against Ameri-
can owners:
The cases of the Canadian vessel Sisters and
the American schooner Monterey differ in the
following respects: The master of the Sisters
violated section ASIA of the revised statutes
OF the United States by not producing man.
1fest to boarding officer when entering the
customs district Of Portland and Falmouth,
Me. The penalty is a sum not exceeding
$500. 1t has been the practice of the treasury
department since 1866, when this law
regarding manifest first become APP
plicable to foreign vessels to miti-
gate the fine to $50 or 500 or entirely
remit If the ofense was not wilfully commit
ted, according to the special circumstances
OF the case, namely, the tonnage of the YES
sci, the variety of her cargo, and whether she
was or was not in ballast. The master of the
Sisters was treated as the master of any other
foreign or American vessel would have been
in similar circumstances. To prevent ex-

fine was
RENTED BY TELEGRAPH,
for which the master paid. The Monterey
and her cargo were forfeited under section
1887, revised statutes, for going upon
foreign voyage under a fishing license,
the master having no permit to
to touch and trade. The policy of the law
may be bad or may be good, especially the
interest of American citizens. At all events
that IS the law. The Monterey was valued at
$500; her cargo of Holsters at $500. The
vessel and her cargo were labeled at Boston,
matter in which the district attorney had
no discretion upon the offense being
reported to him by the collector
of customs. The department, in consideration
of the fact that the owner was an American
citizen and that his offense was not wilful, in
May, 1885, RENTED the forfeiture of the YES
sci aud cargo upon payment of small fine of

DEER PARK, Md, June 6.-The feature

''that the present incumbent might be con-
tinued as the chief magistrate" was a very
natural appeal for the elder to make when
the fact that he and his son, two daugh-
tiers and a son-in-law are holding public
Offices, is taken into consideration The
elder, the church people say, was entirely
too officious, in that he met the president
ct the gateway of the church and Informed
him that the new board steps had been
placed there expressly for his convenience
in alighting from his carriage, and took
upon himself the business of &C ting as escort

WASHINGTON, June 6.-In connection
with the purchase of the presidents coun-

made as real estate speculation, and that
behind all is a combination of no small mag

place, cOaXed Mr.. Cleveland into buying
the house and ground on Tenallytown road,
and that it was for the purpose of making
money. 1t has also been related to me that
Mr.. Whitney furnished the money, which
was about $21, 900, and the title to the place
will never rest in the presidents name.
There are scores of shingles sticking along
the fences and the houses in that neighbor-
hood, announcing property for sale. Quite
good deal of the property has been
TAKEN AT OPTION
that is, spectators have given a certain
per cent. of the net values of the places for
optional sale within a certain length of
time, and it is hoped that the purchase by
some one for the president and the celebrity
that part of the district has gained will
rush up prices and speculation will follow.

money if reports are true. This is, accord
ing to reports, second instance in the
presidential family where momentary re-
nown has been taken advantage of for mer-
cenary purpose. The presidents sister
took occasion to publish a book which
found a large sale because she was the
presidents sister.
NOW THE PRESIDENT SPECULATES
in real estate, or his friends do at his acqui-
escence, and there is only the name of the
president to operate on. Since the agitation
OF the people over the presidents marriage
some very plain talk has been INDUCED in
by Mr.. Cleveland concerning his future
life. He talked to friend at the White
house, and little of the conversation has
leaked out. In the event that the president
Is not renominated, or in the event he is
not reelected, it is his purpose to return to
Buffalo and practice Jaw. He told this friend
that he hoped to be able to live in keeping
with the position he occupied without hay
ing to participate in the real activities of
the law practice. This suggestion has led
to some inquiry, and the inquiry has re-
vealed that Mr. Cleveland can retire from
his office, and probably will retire, with
wealth valued at at least quarter of
million of dollars, including that which his
wife inherited.
