The Retchstas Adopts Further Mea
 ures to Abolish the Slave Trade.

The Retchstag Adopts Further Meas ures to Abolish the Slave Trade. BERLIN, Dec. 14.-In the Reiohstag to-day Dr. Windthorst in moving his resolution re- Iating to the suppression of the East African slave trade said that the resolution was based upon the speech from the throne and that Germany should cooperate with the other powers. The recent white book. he said, showed that Prince Bismarck was following the only correct course.
 Count Herbert Bismarck said the situation was but little changed since the appearance of the white book, except that Portugal had
 joined the blockade. He dwelt at length on the evils of slavery, the suppression of which he said devolved upon Germany as a duty of honor. (Applause.) The abolition of slavery was preliminary condition to opening Afri- ca to Christianity and civilization. I hope that the Reichstsg when it meets again few weeks hence will unanimously support a bill which is useful and will rebound to the honor of the Reichstag and the government for many future years. Loud applause) The motion was adopted, only the social ists and the new liberals (with the exception of Herr Goldschmidt) opposing.
 ! LONDON, Dec. 14.-Lord Tennyson is making good progress toward complete re- covery. He is in excellent spirits.

Editor O'Brfen Ordered to Appear Be- fore tEae Judges to Answer for an Al. tack on Ghe Commission.
 LONDON, Dec. 14.-At the sitting of the Parnen commission today Attorney General Wehster, counsel for the Times, requested that the court should sit on Tuesday next in order that he might be enabled to make ap- plication as to what course the court would pursue respecting William O'Brien and an article which appeared in his paper, The United Ireland, in.which it was stated
 "The time has arrived for plain speaking in regard to the forgeries commission. We do not intend to wait until the forger allows us to speak. We do not care two pence for the opinion of the three judges who were es- pecially selected, in the teeth of justly in- dignant liberal protest, by the foTger's friends and accomplices."
 Presiding Judge Hannen indicated that the court had arranged to adjourn today. The judges retired for . consultation, and when they returned Justice Hannen announced that they had decided that an affidavit, re- citing the utterance of MT. O'Brien and his paper, must be immediately filed and that MT. O'Brien must appear before the commise sion at 10 o'clock tomorrow. They had also decided that notice must be served on the warden of Morton college, ordering him to attend the first meeting of the new sitting in January.
 Thomas O'Connor, who testified on the 4th instant concerning the alleged doings of the inner circle of the league, was recalled and cross-examined by Sir Charles Russell for the Parnellites. On the cross-examination wit- ness admitted that be had got himself sum- moned by the Times lawyers in the hope of making few pounds by swearing to some "queer things" On the redirect examination witness, in reply to Attorney General Web ster, said that since he first gave evidence his family had telegraphed to him to the effect that they would die of shame unlesa, when he was cross examined, be denied the evidence that he had already given before the court.
 Later in the day Mir. Ried stated that Mr. O'Brien was in Dublin and probably would be unable to attend tomorrow. The court was therefore adjourned to January 15.

 WLLLINANTIC, Conn.,, Dec. 14.-Treasurer Royce, accused of embedding funds from the Willimantic Savings Institute, took the stand to day and detailed his dealings with Inger- soil and explained about his journey to New York to negotiate the protested Ingersoll notes Pending this journey he entered in the collection register three fictitious notes the Squire notes and the Rawitzer notes-to cover the $15, ,000 bad Ingersoll paper. He also abstracted and entered the fictitious note to cover the bad Ingersoll draft for $5, 900. These entries were made by witness for the sole purpose of deceiving the bank oommis- sioner. Royce denied in toto the charge that he ever appropriated $20,0 900 or any part of it to himself or anybody else, but he simply manipulated the books to deceive the com missioners until the Ingersoll paper could be redeemed. The court then adjourned till next Tuesday.

SPORTING MATTERS.

I A Great Victory For New Haven
 Hartford Defeated 6 To 5-Playins 1 over the Forty Minutes - Connora 1 Makes she Winning Goal-It Was g Scientific Game.
 1 The New Ravens defeated Hartford last night in the polo rink by the score of 6 to 5. The lover of polo who was not present miss> ed one of the greatest games that has ever ! been played in this city. The teams were tied three times the last time at the end of the forty minutes.
 If the home team had only played polo heretofore as they did last night, New Haven would not now be in last place. They pass ed as never before, and the way Mccarthy kept his feet going during the game was enough to show that the New Ravens were playing great polo.
 Connors and Newcomb did some of their old-time rushing, and 1t was certainly de- lightful to see them work together. New comb is now in good condition. Too much praise can hardly be given Valiant. He was everywhere, and it is doubtful if player ever exerted himself more to win game than he did last night He was perfect stone wall at center. Phelsn made many beautiful stops and he was 
 witted Cotter and Sealy. Lations did not have much to do, but he sustained his repu- tation by what he did do.
 Cotter was on his mettle and so was every one of the Hartfords. They were bound not to be beaten, for if they were Bridgeport would take third place.
 If the New Haven players can play the same game right along that they played last night no better team is wanted.
 Hartford took the first three goals and New Haven the next four, which put them ahead. Then Hartford made the next one, again tieing the score, and George Smith accident ally caQsd the next one, which counted for New Haven and put the home team ahead. again did Hartford make the score tie, and the bell rang for the forty minutes. Two minutes afterward Conno1s took the ball away from Cotter and drove it past Smith, Sullivan and Mccarthy. During the game Vaillant and Sealy were fined $1 each for rough playing: The score:

Fiftieth Congress-second Session
WASHINGTON. Dec. IA.

THE NICARAGUA BILL. HoUsE.-Mr. Clardy (Dem., Mo.,) moved
 that the House go into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar for the fur- ther consideration of the Nicaragua Canal bill, and pending this motion, moved that all debate on the bill and amendments there- to be limited to forty minutes. MT. Blount (Dem., Ga.,) raised point of order against the latter motion, contending l that debate could be limited only speci- fled section ot the bill, and notsupon the en- ] tire measure.
 In order to settle the question, MT. Fayson, of Illinois, offered an amendment providing that the bill shall be read by sections, debate on the first section being limited to 30 min | utes.
 MT. Papson of Illinois offered an amend- ] ment providing that all shares, stocks, bonds, certificates and other securities shall be issued ! from the principal office in New York and shall be disposed of only for cash. The l amendment was defeated by tie vote, but it was agreed that a vote should be taken in the House.
 Mr.Spinola offered an amendment limiting the capital stock to Sl00, 1000, 900, and the amendment was supported by Mir. Payson l and opposed by Mir. Bayne of Pennsylvania, who in the course of his remarks declared that the bill would be passed this session if ! it occupied every Friday. The committee then rose and after sn hour and half spent in a vain effort to secure a quorum upon proposition to limit debate, the House at 4:30 took recess till the evening session and then adjourned, unable to get Q quorum,
