Agitation of a Scheme to Expel Imported
 Workme from France.


 Workmel, from France.
 LONDON, Dec. 12.-It is claimed that There are in round numbers half million Italian workmen in Paris and notwiths standing the intense hatred borne to the Germans there are many of the latter in the large cities. They invariably claim to be Alsatians and are shrewd enough to pass muster as such. Nearly all the best walters in the Parisian restaurants are of this class and as they are valuable for their lingual adjustments their employ CTS do not inquire too seriously into their nativity.
 These facts brings up project to tax foreigners resident in France, which is being seriously considered and will not unlikely become a law. Itcannot faii to appear in the eyes of some of the poor victims as the height of absurdity. Americans and English are of the opinion that it is enough of a tax to be known as a foreigner in Paris, tradesmen promptly levylng an inn post upon them in the form of an aug mentation of price as they hear their voices.
 One clause of the bill is aimed at workmen born out of the country and fosters the prejudices of the native la- borer. In this lies the possibility of it's adoption.

Notes Of the Games.


 Tho winning League pitchers this season are Ciarlkson, of Boston; O'Brien of Cieve- land; Buflnton, of Philadelphia; Welsh, of New York Calvin, of Plttsburg; Boyle, of Indianapolis; Fersen, of Washington, and Hutchison, of Chicago
 In the Association Kilroy. Duryea, Wey- thing Baldwin, King and Caruthers did the most pitching.
 No club hos made as many errors Ill one series of games as the Washington In their eleven contests with the "Phillies" when they made total of l09. The giants como next with lOl charged to them in the Chicago series.
 Cleveland has tho record for the total number ot chances offered in a single sor- les. In the eleven games with Chicago they had 579 and their opponents 57l. No pitcher in the League has done the amount of work of John Clarkson: He has filled tho box twenty-eight times this season and ls always ready to play when requested to do so.
 Anson's men still continue to fluctuate in the scales that weigh pennant winnerA That team has been found wanting. Tho Giants and Clevelands have taken advantage of this. The former has been playing c fairly steady game for the past two weeka They have made the best showing of the Eastern clubs On this trip and have con tnued to better theiy positions Few features have characterized the work of the Association clubs the past week. Tho Eastern teams arc out West and Brooklyn has started off as though anxious to come back at tho conclusion of the series In first place. They have met their strongest rivals, the Browns, and will have easier sailing. It may, however, be expecting too much to have them take the lead while away from home, and If they hold their own on this trip the chances of their climbing to tho top rung will then be brighter.

 The Second division picnic Saturday closed with grand flourish. The often advertised balloon ascension finally took place and the many who had patiently waited were we'll satisfied with the result. The balloon with Prof Kessner sitting on the trapeze ascended somewhat over a thousand feet, before the parachute was cut away. The current of air carried the balloon in the wrong direction to make a much higher ascent with safety. The aeronaut would have landed in the center of the city had he not cut away as soon as he did. It was a good exhibition, how ever. A large crowd enjoyed the picnic after the ascension, and the Second division again demonstrated the fact that the mem bers know how to give good entertain ment. The ball game between the Rose Hill hose company and the Southingtons was one of the best witnessed in Water bury since professional ball playing was in vogue. The Southingtons won the fseme, which was hotly contested one for
 innings. The score was to 5.
