The Cooper Shop Stars defeated tho
Sun Flowers yesterday by a score OF 8 to
4. The Stars are anxious TO meet other
amateur mines.
The Cyclones, OF this city, went over
to Martins Ferry yesterday and played
q game Of ball with the Red Stockings Of
that place. The Wheeling men were de-
feated by q score OF tod. 1t was veIy
interesting game and was witnessed by
good sized crowd,
The Mansfield Association is badly in
debt, and II will require at least $500
to keep the club going, but it is thought
the amount will be forthcoming and tue
team be able 10 finish the season. A
meeting was held last evening at which
the $1,000 necessary to pay present
debts was raised and promises made for
the future.
The usual daily game was played OH
Tunnel green yesterday afternoon. This
time it was between the Silver Leafs
and Il new team-the Hot Wafiles. 1t
was very excitingatIair and required lS
innings to settle it in favor OF the Silver
Leafs by score OF @ to 5. Batteries
Hertzog and b. Buckley for the Leafs
and W. Buckley and Pew for the other
side. The same teams will play again
this afternoon.
Jake Stencil, one of the catchers OF
the Wheeling team, returned home from
Lima yesterday morning in disabled
condition. H0 was playing right field
in the Sunday game and in running in
the lust inning fell and badly sprained
his ankle. He thinks one OF the
small bones is broken. The foot is
badly swollen and pains him con-
siderably. He will have to remain
of the diamond for several daysto come.
In the meantime Yak will be required
TO do all the catching for the team. In
case he should become disabled Brodie
can be called in from the field.
o. p. Caylor, one of the best known
basc baii writers in the country, ex-
presses himself on hard and sacrifice hits
us follows: "There is entirely too much
attention paid to this subject Of hard
hitting. There should be no more credit
given to a man for home run ora
three-base hit than for d good sacrifice
when sacrifice hit is needed. A club
which has two or three home-run hitters
in its team will never show up very
strong in team work. A player who is
always talking about his base hits and
errors, rather than about his clubs
standing or the games it has won, is not
desirable ora strong man in his team.
The conscientious, hard-working player
the man whose work will count most
is that one who forgets his own
record and thinks only Of those points
that will add Il game or n run TO his
clubs record" The attention OF three
or four men in the Wheeling team is
kindly directed to this timely talk.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

Democrats VIII Keep Congress In Session
Until the Senate PASSES Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. G., July SO.-A re-
port was circulated yesterday to the ef-
feet that there was CONSERVATION among
the Republicans in the Senate and House
over rumor that the President, before
going fishing, had issued instructions to
some OF his leaders in Congress to be
ready and to get the party into condition
to support any reasonable tariff bill the
Republicans in the Senate might present,
and that it was the programme Of the
Democrats in the House to take up the
Republican bill when it comes from the
Senate and pass it, thus relieving the
campaign Of the tariff issue, which is the
most important OF all. Ihave seen three
or four leading Republican Senators and
am assured that the bill which the Re-
publicans will present will be such as
will meet the solid opposition OF the
Democrats in the Senate, and that there
there is no probability that it will be
pissed in the House. The bill will
likely be reported in the Senate before
the middle Of August, but it is Thought
that the measure will be passed by the
10th OF September, and that Congress
can adjourn about the Goth. Democratic
members OF the Committee on Ways
and Means sent word to the Republicans
in the Senate some days ago that unless
the latter passed n tariff bill, the former
would refuse to adopt the customary
resolution authorizing the adjournment
OF Congress and the House would hold
Congress in session until the Republi.
cans in the Senate took action on the
surplus. There is now no doubt
about the Senate passing tariff bill,
and it will be measure covering n large
number OF articles enumerated in the
DrasRnt tariff law

FINAL REPORT.
Capitol Building Commissioners
Upon the Completion of
the Capitol,

The final report of the capitol building
commissioners has been issued for the
press.
The commissioners say:
To His E1cellsncy L. S Ross, Governor of Texas:
Sir-In obedience to the law creating
this commission, requiring printed re-
port and history of our work and proceed
ings to be furnished to the next regular
session of the legislature, we respectfully
submit the following report, prepared
from the records of this office By the sec
rotary, believing the same to be correct
history of our official acts since the publ.
cation of our last report, made to your
excellency at the called session of the
Twentieth legislature, April Is, 1888.
1t has been our endeavor, in the progress
of our lsbors, to strictly com oily with the
req uirements of the Law; and this and our
former reports, together with the capitol
building as erected and completed, We
think fully attest the fact that the re.
quirements of the Law have been complied
with, and no effort on the part of this
commission has been wanting 10 prevent
any essential omission, either in Its general
design or construction, which would add
to its excellence, convenience and stability
The general results in some few ins lance
have not been as satisfactory to Us as we
desired, owing to imperfections in the
original plans and specifications which we
were unable to have corrected, "a your eI-
cellency is well aware of the difficulty we
have always encountered in having any
alterations made from the original plans.
We feel grstifed, however, in being able
to state that an inspection of the entire
structure will demonstrate the fact that We
have e1celled as far as our means would
permit.
The history of the building will show
that we had but $1,5OO,OOO as an available
fund for its erection and completion. We

"Well, I'm going to open hotel in
