BosToN, April 19.-Base-ball was opened
with grand hurrah here to-day. Over
10000 persons attended the Players League

exhibition of baseball playing.

played here, and the cranks were very en-
thusiastic. The feeling was good on both
sides, and both teams played with vim and
dash.
The batting was free. Stovey put the
balls over the fence in the first inning for
home run, and in the ninth, with two
men out, Kelly hit Il slashing three-bagger.

LONDON. April 19.-Another opportunity
for the British to protest against the inhu-
manity perpetrated under British colors is
pffered in Borneo. Recent accounts from
here stale that on the island which is
ander English protection there are thou
ctands OF coolies who were virtually kid
Snaped froms China, and are held 10 con-
edition OF slavery to which that of the Amer
7ean Southern States was comparatively
MID. These poor creatures were induced
70 leave their homes under misrepresenta-
ton, and once in Borneo are kept in I,ond-
age, from which there is no release except
by death. If they attempt to escape they
are hunted like wild beasts, rewards being
offered for their capture. 1t is called the
contract labor system, but, in reality, it is
seTVitude, compared with which that of the
African is, as a rule, mild. Yet the English
colonial authorities remain wilfully blind
to these hideous evils, while societies in
London and other parts Of the country are
raising money for an expedition for the
suppression Of slavery in Africa.

LITTLE Rock, April 19.-The Supreme
Court to-day decided the celebrated election
contest of Jones VS.. Glidewell. 1t was sub
mitted in evidence that six ballot boxes
were stolen from the County Clerks office
here containing large majorities for Jones,
but it was also established that prior to the
general election his friends had organized
secret society, and the members, mostly ne
groes, were sworn to vote q certain way,
and TO cast an open ballot. The Supreme
Court held that the election of the contest
ant was, therefore, void, and affirmed
the decision OF the lower court giving the
office to Glidewell, who is Democrat. The
decision affects both political parties in this
State, and is regarded as vastly Important,
as it virtually disposes of large number of
election contests ON similar grounds.
