Fiftieth Congress--First Sessi on
wAsHIwGroN. Apru 23

WASHINGTON, Apru 23.
 SEEArE.-Mr. Chace presented petitions signed by 257 physicians, s6 pastors of churches and 554 superintendents, officers and teachers of public schools of the District of Columbia asking legislation to prohibit the sale of cigars, cigarettes or tobacco to boys under sixteen years of age. The peti- tions were ordered printed as public doeu- ment.
 A conference committee on the House joint resolution accepting the invitation of the French republic to take part in the in- ternational exposition at Paris in 1889 was ordered and Senators Sherman, Evarts and Brown were appointed.
 The Senate then resumed consideration of the bill to forfeit certain lands granted for the purpose of aiding in the construction of railroads, the question being on an amend ment offered by Mr. Stoekbridge and amend ments thereto offered by MT. Palmer. After some discussion the bill was laid aside without action and the Senate proceeds ed to the consideration of the international copyright bill MT. Chace, who has charge of the bill, made statement in it's support. MT. Morrill, said that he expected to vote for the bill, but he did not believe that its success would be promoted by stigmatizing the American people as buccaneers or corsairs. An amendment had been suggested which he thought quite reasonable, and he therefore offered it. It was the insert the following proviso:
 Provided, That publishers of newspapers or oth- CT periodicals in the United States shall be al- lowed to copy in those publications any articles that may appear in the newspapers or other peri odicals of any foreign country; and for that pur pose (but not for sale) shall be allowed to import such newspapers or other periodicals.
 MT. Vance moved to insert proviso that newspapers, magazines and periodicals shall not be entitled to copyright. After farther discussion, and without action on either of the proposed amendments, the bill went over till tomorrow. The Senate At 5:3O adjourned

A GREAT WRONG.

"A Great Wrong" with J. B. Studley in the leading role, was played at the Grand yesterday to large audience. The perform ance is a good one and we'll worth seeing. The scene is cast in the prison of an Austra- lian convict settlement at a time before the refined horrors of the ''silent system" were introduced in place of the more outwardly horrible atrocities of fogging. MT. Studley is we'll supported. In the museum hall is the Hoon family and Shadowgra pho.

 WAsHIEeTeN, April 23.-The game to-day between the New Works and Washingtons was remarkable one Only three errors were made by both. teams and these were bases on balls. It was essentially pitchers contest between Welch and O'Day, and while both did brilliant work O'Day fairly took the honors. Hank never pitched in better form and he had the Giants at his command. The New Works scored in the fifth inning on Ewing's single, a steal, a felded hit and passed ball. The home team could not score until the ninth when O'Brien landed the ball over the fence, which tied the score.

 PHMADELPHIA, April 23.-The Boston club won their third successive game from the Phillies this afternoon. Young Gleason was again in the box and the visitors made but three hits from his puzzling delivery. At the outset of to-day's game he was trife wild and gave four of the visitors their bases on balls. Kelly, the first batter, was num- bered among these, and after neatly stealing second on Clements throw went to third on a wild pitch. Nash got to first on a force hit and came home on Captain Morrilps long drive over the left field fence, which netted him home run. After this the Bostonians secured but one additional hit. The home team made their solitary run in the fifth on tumble by Nash and Gleason's .bagger. Their eight hits were too widely scattered to be productive of any more runs. The home club was minus the services of Captain Irwin and Bastian. Score:

To those who have been waiting all the season for Uncle Joshua Whitcomb to make us visit it has seemed as if his metropolitan engagement would never end. Last evening, however, he made his appearance at the New Haven Opera House to the largest audience of the season. The popularity of ''The Old Homestead" is certainly phenomenal. This evening the play will be repeated. MT. Thompson has secured the Academy of Mu~ sic in New York city for the whole of next season and so there is no likelihood of his re- turn here for over year.
