Every time Minneapolis wins good
game of ball, its stock scars away up to
boom figures; but l am one of those who
have faith in the team and believe it will
do good work and place itself in credita-
BILE position i'll the league. Just now it oc-
cupies the place inelegantly termed suck
ing the hind teat," but that fact is largely
due to bad luck and much less to bad play
ing. The team was organized late and en-
tered schedule games without that prelim-
mary practice which some of the clubs,
notably Duluth, enjoyed for weeks 1t
was therefore only natural that the early
games should have been lost. Certainly,
III work, the home team has wonderfully
improved and its recent games have all
been good ones, with scores lower than the
average in the National league. The same
may be said of the st. Paul team, though
luck which was against Minneapolis, fol-
lowed st. Paul in one OF two instances.

One thing that has operated against Min
neapolis thus far has been the lack of disci-
pline, less in the field than in the general
management, and that, too, is improving,
A manager, as well as field captain, can in
fuse his own spirit into team and accom-
plish much good. A resolute. energetic
management is always desirable, though it
need never carry manager to the length
of going into the field to ''kick." as Ohm
Barnes did in yesterdays game. The Ma
tional league has ruled managers off the
field entirely, during game, which is well,
for the spectacle of eighteen uniformed
men wrangling at once is not agreeably
augmented by the addition of man
ager. And in respect to kick
ing, the Minneapolis team has
been always gentlemanly. Capt. Foley is
there to fight its wordy battles, and the
other players know it and stay away.

That Bates and Scheffer make the best

expression to ideal loveliness-to portraying

us of midnight orgies in these places; where
convivial and prominent business men soak
themselves in debauchery, and gaze upon

A New Steam Engine.

Considerable attention has been directed
of late in England to the performances of
the Marchant engine, for which it is
claimed that the difficult problem of the re-
turn to the boiler of steam which would
otherwise be wasted, has now been practi-
cally solved by it. Several stringent tests
have been made of this engine, under the
superintendent of responsible engineers
previously unacquainted with it, and the
result of one of the most recent may be
here given: "The stated effective horse
power of the engine $3.50 was therefore
obtained at the expenditure of O.8O3 pounds
Welsh coal per horse power per hour, and
we hereby certify to such ascertained re-
suit. The boiler pressure was 241
pounds per square inch; the average
vacuum in the condenser seventeen inches,
and the speed 1875 revolutions per minute.
The results thus obtained work out to a
fraction over half pound per indicated
horse power per hour. The economy in
coal is such that it is calculated that the
Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Com
pany would save 1000 ($5, OOO) per day by
the use of such engines. AS the condenser
occupies only a sixteenth of the space of
an ordinary water condenser, it is adapta-
bic to locomotives, which might, says NJ.
Marchant, the inventor, be built to run
1000 miles without fresh supply Of wa

The various claims that had been
presented to the United States Govern
ment on account of injuries OF loss
sustained through the Confederate
cruisers We're brought before the
Geneva tribunal, but that body did not
attempt to canvass them or decide upon
their validity. 1t refused to consider
the claim put forward by Mr.. j. Ban
croft Davis, in behalf of this Govern
ment for indirect damages" but all
claims for direct injuries were accepted
as legitimate. The sum awarded
SIS, 800, 0O0-was arrived at by mutual
concessions on the part of the members
of the tribunal, for they had no means
of knowing what part Of the just claims
under the award had already been
formulated. Among the claims which
were there brought forward and received
on an equal footing with the others
We're those of certain insurance COM
panies for salvage" That is, in
surance companies which had paid over
to their owners full insurance for
vessels destroyed by the cruisers, asked
to be reimbursed in part Of their loss,
founding their claim on the generally &C
cepted rule that when underwriters
have paid for burned house or a
wrecked ship anything that is saved
from the ruin belongs to them. How
ever, after the award had been paid
over to the United States for distribu-
ton to individuals our Court of Claims
threw out all these claims for salvage"
on the part of insurance companies.
There is now quite a large balance re-
manning in the United States Treasury,
part of which is interest on the award,
and part is what is left of the principal.
The above circumstance is the sole
