governments objected, but nevertheless,
Prince Krapotkin, as will be remembered,
was expelled. Then followed violent in
ternal agitations, one party protesting
against any restrictions of liberty, an
other, equally as strong, urging antago-
nism to socialists and anarchists, that the
independence of Switzerland might not
be jeo pardized, since it depends upon the
assent of the Powers. The result was
that the socialistic congress appointed for
Zurich was forbidden, and though an APP
peal to the Courts followed on constitu-
tional grounds, the congress was pro-
scribed Since then Germany has been
constant in its efforts to have Switzerland
forbid Socialists any privileges. The Re
public has yielded to most of the mon
archial demands, except the violation of
the right of asylum, though she broke
through that in the case of the expulsion
last year of the Anarchists Schopen, Metz
Ter, Haupt, and Won Ehrenberg. In the
same year Switzerland voted sum to fee
police force to keep the refugees within
decent bounds. Her expression then was,
that those who dwelt within the atmos-
phere of Swiss liberty must respect it, and
tn at the miasma of anarchism must not
be permitted to vitiate it; nor, said Fed
eral Councillor Droz, 'shall our house be
a refuge whence assaults can be directed
with impunity against the repose of other
countries" Even with this Germany was
not satisfied, for she demanded the sup
preston of the Socialistic press conducted
by Germans. In April, therefore, Switzer-
land expelled the editors of a German So
cialist sheet. One of these was a natural
lied American. But new editors stepped
in and a Swiss firm continued the pubIica-
ton. In THE ensuing summer, 1888, sew
eral Socialists were expelled for proved
criminal attempts upon German officials,
Soclallstic meetings were put under sur
Vigilance, Socialistic literature forbidden
expectation, and Troppman, the notorious
correspondent of the Chicago Anarchists
was given his passports. This brings us
up to the present demand and which, as
stated, is that Switzerland shall give Off
cial consent for the establishment within
the Republic by the Powers of their own
police force to watch the refugees, and this
Switzerland bluntly refuses. To consent
would be to surrender the independence of
the nation to refuse involves possible
assault by Powers through whose jealousy
OF each other the maintenance of the Swiss
Republic is possible. 1t is very serious
thing indeed for the little mountain ma
ton when Italy, Russia and Germany, and
possibly England, unite in demands against
her. If worst should come to worst, the
United States Of America could not stand
by and fail to enter her protest against a
policy that will destroy the federation of
Swiss States. We at least might make
bold to extend our offices as one of board
of mediators to adjust the difficulty
There is hope, however, that the liberal
sentiment of Germany may, as the dis
patches suggest, prevail upon Bismarck to
recede from his demand upon Switzerland.
His abandonment of it will be followed by
the others.

IT LOOKS now very much as if the Chi

man Burke apprehended at Winnipeg.
Circumstances could scarcely be stronger
in pointing out criminal. 1t appears
that last September, on the unwilling Of
the monument 10 Cream, photograph OF
the group present was taken. Assuming
that no Cronin man was present, since
Cream was a friend of Alexander Sulli-
vans, Clan-na-Gael men have secured this
photograph for the police, and had them
submit it to Mortenson, who sold the fur
niture for the cottage, and to the three
Carlsons, who rented it to the man Will
Jams. Each of these four witnesses, separ-
ate and apart from each other, have picked
out the face of Burke, apprehended a,

name of Williams. Burke being aues
toned in his cell admits that he was in
Chicago when Cronin was murdered, anC
that he left soon after to return to Ireland
and ticket for Liverpool was in fac
found upon him. He is confused in hi.
replies, and declares he will claim protec
ton as British subject, and will not re
turn to Chicago. 1t is to the credit o
Clan-na-Gael men that they have been tn,
instruments through which Burke wa
brought into the case, and his arres

more solicitous than any one else to hav,

but "muffed," and Burke then started TO
run to second base while Newbert reached
first. Daily picked up the ball again and
threw it to second, heading Oh Burke The
umpire's decision was: Burke and New
bert out" The point that could not be
understood was why Newbert should be
called out.
According to the 80 rules Newbert was
out, whether or not Daily caught the ball.
Burke should have remained on first base
and not attempted to run to second. The
supposition is that Daily could have caught
the bali il he wished, and the rule is made
in order to prevent double play being
made so easily. This same rule applies
when a runner is on first base and batter
strikes out. In this case the catcher does
not have to hold on the last strike. and the
runner on first is not forced to run to
| second base.

SEVERAL GOOD REASONS
WHY THE sACRAMENTos COULD NOT
WIN YESTERDAY.
The Umpire Gets Zeigler Ratified, and
He Becomes an Easy Mark
for the Enemy.

San Francisco, June 23d.-Lack of team
work, improper captaining, inability to
hit at needed times, and wretched umpir-
ing lost the game to the Sacramentos to-
day. The home nine had no trouble in
hitting Zeigler, but the raw deal given to
him on balls and strikes by Van Court dis
concerted him and the entire nine from the
start. From this fact it is hard to say how
he might have treated the San Franchises
with another man behind the bat He was
also wild in throwing to bases.
The home nine played sharp ball, despite
their numerous errors. Levys three errors
were due to the sun shining in his face
when flies were batted out to him. Fol-
lowing is the score:

of buttermilk he had imbibed on the River

rein, however, and the result was a somer-
sault and collision with a hitching-post.
Brewer was thrown violently against a

CAMERON.
the others.

The life of Simon Cameron is ebbing
fast, and it is probable that before these
lines go to print the veteran publicist will
have passed away. He has been in all
respects a remarkable man; a strong
American political leader, the details of
whose public career would make up almost
complete history of the nation for the
half of a century. He has been in his
day probably without an equal as a politi-
cal tactician. His life is fine example of
what self-assertion, indomitable will and
perseverance will do for a man in a coun-
try of grand opportunities as this. Left
an orphan when but lad, and receiving
but an ordinary school education, he
learned the printers trade, but so i'm
proved the opportunities at his hand that
when but % he was editing a newspaper at
Doylestown, and two years later another
in the capital city of Pennsylvania. He
saved, put his earnings into banking and
railroading, and thus laid the foundations
for splendid fortune He first entered
the United States Senate in IS45
and his enthusiastic patriotism carried
him into the Republican party in 1860
and cleared away some doubts that had
attached to his loyalty to the Union be-
cause Of his previous advocacy of policies
in avoidance Of conflict between sections
that was inevitable. He became President
Lincoln's Secretary of War, resigning in
the middle of his term and being sent out
as Minister to Russia. He resigned that
post within a year, and was in retiracy
until 1866, when he re-entered the Senate.
In 1873 he was returned to the Senate for
the fourth time, but resigned to give place
to his son. 1t is not necessary now to re-
view the assaults made upon him, nor how
he passed through many a trying political
ordeal-as he lies on his death-bed it is
sufficient to point to him as one of the
eminent politicians of America, politi-
cal leader who filled large and most
important place during a long period in
the most momentuous era of the nations
history.

oakland Team.
STOCKTON, June 23d.-It was a razzle-
dazzle game that theOaklands put up against
the StoCktons to-day. The home team won
by score of Is TO Z. Out of nine chances
O'Neill rolled up five errors. A grounder
hit to him was safe, but twice when men
were on bases, after making stops he was
so ratified that he did not know where to
throw the ball. Mcdonald had a busy
time at second base, having thirteen
chances, eleven of which he accepted.
Daley caught a good game, but made
some idiotic throws, but at the bat he was
at home, making home-run, two singles
and sacrifice. Selma. as usual. put up
great ball at first, and Withheld made some
brilliant pick-ups. Harper pitched steady
game, keeping the eight hits well scattered.

Standing of the Clubs.

The above table tells exactly the per.
centage and standing of the four clubs.
San Francisco again increases her big lead
by winning yesterdays game from Sacra-
mento and the latter is clingng on to
third place by mere thread Ia little over
one per cent? Oakland losing two games
in succession has considerably lowered its
percentage
