 Mccarthy of the Hartfords had gold- night. It came from the Hartford Hiber- nian fair and was voted to the most popular polo player in the team.
 Manager Clark of this city has $500 even to wager, or $2, 900 against $1, 800, that his club can beat the Bridgeport team in a series of games, the Bridgeport Farmer having inti- mated the superiority of the Connecticut team.-Boston Herald.
 It was 8 mistake to say that the Spring. field toboggan man wanted $4,000 for his slide. It was $1 ,000 more. The Bridgeport News thinks that the Bridgeport team did pretty we'll at Hartford Saturday night, considering the fact that a member of the team was eating boiled clans on the streets not long before. A man whc can play good polo with boiled clans under his girdle is tough enough for any ordinary occasion, says the News.
 John Clarkson says Bates of Harvard will be the star college pitcher next season. Tim Keefe has begun his annual salary bout with President Day. There will be fur before Tim's name is attached to New York contract. Perhaps he, too, will be release ( to Washington. Wouldn't that be funny4- Boston Herald.
 Manager Bancroft let fall some crumbs ot comfort to the Hartford management concern Ing CObL6E s plRYluB Ou HlS lhSG VlslC LO harG' ford "Two years ago." said Manager Ban croft. the New Bedford team won thirteen games ahead of the Pawtuckets and thought had the championship sure. 1 knew ii took some months hard work for Tommy te get into playing form and my object was tc get such O strong lead that the Pswtuckets could not catch up. But they did. CotteI finally got into form and the Pawtucket team work took everything before it, winning the championship from me by one game. It is foolish, he added, "to say that Cotter can't play well this year as last. ."-Hartford Times

SPORTING MATTERS.

New Haven Defeated by New Bedford
 to so, Why! o, Why! Is it Thuss-
 Hut tne New Ravens Play a Great
 Game-The Standing Of the Teams.
 Another game gone to-the New Bedfords, and by the close score of to 8. Even if it was lost all who were present at the rink last night were repaid in a measure for going. They saw a splendid game, and close one. The truth might as well be told, even if it does sound little harsh, and it is that the home team would have won had Connors re- ceiyed any assistance from his fellow rusher. Perrys playing disgusted everybody; in fact it was enough to make dog sick to watch him. If his playing last night was any cri- terien he is about as much of polo player as frog is royal Bengal tiger. He was as quick in his movements Rs a crocodile. He would get the ball-occasionally you know, as any one is liable to-and by the time he got ready to hit for goal either Roberts or McPeck was sailing up the rink with it.
 The team, outside of Perry, played game that would have defeated any team in the league. It is @ wonder that all the players did not give up in Encouragement at Perry's playing.
 Valiant and Phelan did much better work
 
 and Lations made about the same number of stops, yet Lation's were more difficult ones and he was repeatedly app1auded. Phelan has become great favorite. And Vaillant But didn't he work last night. He was every- where just at the right time. Connors plays ed brilliantly, as usual. One thing is cer- tain, if the New Ravens play right along as they did last night theywill land pretty near the top. When Referee O'Maley called foul on MePeck for tripping Vaillant Murray tried to guy him, but Murray paid $1 for his fun. It quieted him.
 The goals: Immediately after playing was commenced each side put the ball into the cage, but each time it came out. No hard luck on either side. Connors finally caged it by left-handed drive; second, by Roberts, who fell down and getting up made a sue cessfuI drive; third, by Connors on pass from Phelan, who made 8 brilliant run; fourth, by Roberts, as Lations misjudged the ball and jumping upward it went under him. The two teams were then tied, but Roberts made the next two and Perry the last on 8 pass from Connors. The score:

REPURL1CANs MEAN BUSINESS.
The Tariff Bill Will He Put Through AS Promptly A Peggible

The Tariff Bill Will He Put Through
 As Promptly As Possible.
 Upon the motion to adjourn the senate from yesterday until Monday, several Repub- Hcan members voted with the Democrats, and thus formed an affirmative majority on the proposition. In view of the protest made against the adoption of the motion by the members of the finance committee in charge of the tariff bill, the vote has been held by soms to be significant of the fate of the measure before the senate and some con cern has been expressed by friends of the bill To an Associated Press reporter to-day Senator Plumb, who was one of those who voted for adjournment said the vote had no such significance, and could not be 50 con- strued, when the facts were known. "The proposition came originally" he said, "from the Republican side and arose from g desire to accommodate the convenience of several senators. was one of them. Undera bur den of correspondence and in order to confer in company with several gentlemen with a departmental official upon a question of great importance to my State, desired the adjournment to be had. There was, and is, so far as know, no opposition upon the part or any Republican senator to the pass- age of the bill. There has never been the slightest difference between Messrs. Allison and Aldrich, who are in charge of the bill, and myself concerning the necessity for it's passage. And I believe every Republican senator on the floor is in harmony with this position"

"A Burning of the Steamer Maryland on Harlem River Early This Morning Together With the Washington Ex. press Due at New Haven at 2:15- The Passengers. PanIc-Str1cken-A Scene of Wild Excitement-Narrow Escape of Those on Board the Burn. Ing Cars-A Partial List Of the Pas seRgers.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-There was big fire on Harlem river tonight shortly after twelve o'clock.
 The steamer Maryland and the Washington edge. Tue express consisted of two Pullman cars, two ordinary coaches, mail and bag gage cars and an Adams Express car.
 At the time the express was being trans ferred from Jersey City to Harlem and would have arrived in New Haven at 2:15 a. m.
 There were twenty four passengers in the cars when the fire broke out, but they were rescued as we'll as the boat and train hands without mishap by tugboat. The Adams express car was heavily loaded.
 The Maryland was one of the largest side- wheel steamers afoat. It is transfer boat of the Pennsylvania railroad companys, and is the old steamer that carries trains en route from the south to Boston and from Jersey City to Harlem. She was 220 feet long and 50 feet wide and cost $250,- 900. She was just backing into the dock at Harlem when flames were seen issuing from the end nearest the landing. The passengers at the time were all asleep.
 A few, however, were awake. They saw the flames, but were told not to be alarmed. It was only few minutes afterward when the porters and train hands rushed into the cars and awakened the passengers, telling them to fly for their lives.
 Those in the sleeping cars had hardly time to dress. One old woman was so alarmed that ste escaped with nothing on but her night robe. She left behind her all of her clothes.
 The scene was one of wild excitement. The passengers were panic-stricken. They ran hither and thither, thinking that certain death stared them in the face. Women tainted and had to be carried from the cars. Some were not fully attired. In was only by the presence of mind of some of the deck hands that all were finally got off safely. .
 That no lives were lost Is remarkable. Nearly every passenger lost his personal eff fects. Among the passengers were W. s. Nash of Boston, Rev. Fielder Israel of Salem, Mass, and Captain A. J. Holl of Rockland, Maine. The total loss will be nearly $400,- OOO

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Secretary Whitney has declared to the Haytien authorities that if the release of the American steamer Hay tien Republic is not granted within 8 reason able time steps will be taken to enforce it. With this end in view Secretary Whitney yesterday sent telegraphic instructions to Rear Admiral Gheardi, commandsnt of the New York navy yard, to have the ships Rich mond, Galena and Yantic prepared for sea as rapidly as possible. The idea now is to have them ready so that they can sail for Hayti early next week. Orders have also been is sued for Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the North Atlantic station, to transfer his flag from the Galena to the Richmond and use that vessel as the flagship of the expedi- fion

HAITI IS TOO DELIBERATE.

This action of the Secretary of the Navy is believed to be due not SO much to an abso. lute refusal on the part of that government to comply with the request for the release of the seized American vessels as to the dilatory tactics adopted by the Hsytien authorities in dealing with the question. The position taken by this government is understood to be that as the Hsytien authorities deferred the arbitration of the case to this government they are virtually bound by it's decision and that when they were informed by this gov ernment that they had no legal right to seize and detain the HAytien Republic they should have accepted the situation and released the vessel. While they have not refused to do this they are, it is said, acting in such pro crastinating way as to indicate a strong dis inclination to accept the judgment against them

BOSTON, Dec. 7.-The report that the United States government was about to send 8 war ship to Hayti and demand the restoration of the Hsytien Republic was not received with great enthusiasm, when reporter called to- day at the office of B. O. Morse 6 Co.,, the owners of the vessel. "If this matter is to be presented to Congress" said MT. Morse, 'T think there Is no need of forcible demand for our steamer. When Congress has taken action on the matter the demand can be made more urgently and effectively. All I see for us to do is to wait and let the United States handle the matter. If I could do any thing would gladly go ahead. I am not to be able to resume our business"

 OTTAWA. Dec. 7.-It is understood that R. R. Bedell, a leading Quebec lumber mer- chant, is organizing company of about s.. GOO, 900 to undertake the laying of tele- graph cable from Blanc Sablon at the Straits of Belle Isle to point on the coast of Scot land or Ireland. The Dominion government will probably agree to extend the present telegraph line on the north shore of the gulf from Mingon to Blanc Sab lon and hand the entire gulf and coast telegraph system over to the company as a subsidy in aid of their enterprise. The government, it is said, have received from London company an offer to lay ca- < bic from Halifax to Sable Island for $100,. 900, and it is probable that the necessary grant of money to enable them to accept the offer will be asked for at the coming session of paxIiauneut,
