AFINE GAME OF BALL
On the Island Park Yesterday Afternoon
Dayton Shut Out.

The diamond of the Island base ball park
was covered with about two feet of water
Sunday evening. leaving lot of sticky
mud behind when ii left, which still re-
mained Yesterday. and looked very unin-
vilng for ball playing. But the mud was
covered all over by good ball playing about
three feet deep, which left the Dayton
team strewn over the field, looking as if
| they had gotten some Of the mud in their
stOmachs.
In fact they laid a beautiful row Of nine
goose eggs, while the home team made two
runs. and failed 10 get few more by some
awful attempts at home running Gibson,
the Washington, Pa, man who pitched one
game for Chicago recently against Pitts
| burg and gave them only six hits, appeared
| in the box for the home team, and he GER
tainly put up fine game, giving the visl-
tors only two hits, one of which was a
scratch of very poor quality and the other
three bagger. This was about the only
occasion that a Daytonian got as far as
third base Lytle caught Gibson right up
/ to the dot. If Gibson can be signed he is a
good one. possessing good head as well as
good curves and remarkable speed.
Stapleton. who pitched for the visitors,
held the home team down TO ten hits, which
were well scattered Three Of them were
made in the first inning after two men
were out. but they didn't produce a score.
Wheeling made her only two runs in the
fifth inning when two men were out, on
Lytlc's single, Glcnalvin's double, hard
throw by the catcher and OsbOrne's hit.
Both teams put stiff fielding games,
O'Bricn's short-stop work being an espec-
ial feature of the game. He was not slow
at the bat either.
Following is the official score:

TURNED OVER TO DETECTIVES.
Michael Eyrad Again Makes Certain
Statements.

HAVANA. June l6-Michael Eyraud, the
Frenchman. who was arrested here May
% for the murder in Paris on July 26, 1889,
of NJ. Gouffe, court functionary, was
turned over to the French detectives NM.
Gaillarde and Soudam to-day. At an early
hour the Spanish police entered the cell in
which Eyraud was confined. When the
prisoner knew the cause of the visit, he was
surprised, but offered no resistance. He
was manacled and conducted TO the wharf
where the steamer Lafayette was lying
and there was given in charge OF the
French officers, with he conversed freely
He frequently wept and complained of the
hardness of the press, which he said had
no right TO Judge him until he had been
tried. During a conversation with re
porter he said you may say You have
seen me manacled. but nothing else
After this remark it was noticed that the
prisoner looked more cheerful and ne
laughed several times. He said he would
90 quietly to Paris, but it is the impression
of all who have come in contact with hin
since he was arrested here that if heis con-
iemned to death he will adopt every means
ne can to take his own life. The Lafay'
ette. with the prisoner on board, sailed FOL
ST. Nazacc this afternoon.

AGAINST rmE wmISKEY TRUST.
The Wholesale Liquor Dealers of New
York in the Move.

NEw YORK. June lG.-The wholesale
liquor dealers of New York and vicinity
are moving against the diStillery and
cattle feeding company better known
as the whiSkey trust. They are deter
mined 10 down il il possible. To-day a
meeting was held ia this city to perfect
preliminary plans 10 fight the trust.
About forty wholesalers came together
iu response To the call sent out
by the committee. The objection
of the wholesale men IS direc-
ted against the certificates issued by the
trust. When the trust secured control
of ali the iiStillerieS they advanced
prices e cents a gallon all round. but is
sued rebate certificate of cents a
gallon. payable six months from date Of
issue. provided that the party 20 whom
such certificates was issued bought his
goods exclusively of the trust. The
certificates were non transferable and
could only Dee realized upon by sending
them for collection ON maturity TO the
German-American Bank at Peoria. Ills.
lu sending his certificate, the whole
salcr had 90 sign am affidavit printed on
the back Of each certificate that he had
not purchased any goods during the six
months from any party but the trust.
By this scheme the trust had about a

A MISUNDERSTANDING
Allegations A gainst Congressman Springer
Declared False.

SPRINFIELD, ILL, June l6-COnsiderable
excitement has been occasioned at the home
of Congressman Springer by the wide pub
licity given to an affidavit of Hyland {.
Kirk. filed with Speaker Reed, charging
Mr. Springer with unworthy motives in
defeating Kinks claim against the Federal
Government. The only person mentioned
in substantiatiOns of Mr.. Kinks charge is
Alexander j. Jones, of this city, eXUnited
States Consul at Barranguilla, Colombia,
and formerly Mr.. Springer's committee
clerk. Mr.. Kinks affidavit says Mr..
Springer referred him TO Mr.. Jones, his
clerk, with the statement that his measure
was speculative one and that If he ex-
pected favorable action he would have to
see Mr.. Springer's clerk. Mr.. Kirk acted
on this advice, and when he told Mr.. Jones
what the Chairman of the Committee had
said Jones said; Did Springer tell you
that the robber. | am getting sick and
tired of this whole cut-throat business and
will have nothing todo with it,"
Mr.. Jones pronOunces the story utterly
untrue in every particular, and said; The
author Of the affidavit evidently supposed
that / was still u. s. Consul at Barran-
guilla, far removed from cable cOmmuni-
cation, nd that before my communication
could reach the world, his malicious charge
would have worked irreparable injury 10
congressman springer. NOtnlDR appfOdcn-
ing such a conversation ever occurred. II
is tree that on one occasion ! elected Kirk
from the committee room for assailing the
character of two Republican Congressman
-Messrs. McKenna and Laidlaw-because
they were not efficiently active in support
ing his bill, but that is all. Mr.. Springer's
character needs no cncomium of mine, but
that,my statement may not 'be incomplete,
will say that he was against Hyland
Kinks claim from the beginning, has been
for four years, and this, too, in spite of
the repeated threats and attempted in
timidation by the army of Washington
lobbyists that favored Mr.. Kinks claim"
Mr. Kirk, in answering to the statement
of Mr. Jones, published to-day, says: IN
making the aflidavit about Congressman
Springer, ] had no knowledge of Mr..
Jones whereabouts or what he might say.
Believing that truth is mighty and will
prevail, simply stated the truth as un-
derstood it. | was never elected from a
committee room by Jones or any one else;
and as 10 assailing the character of Messrs.
McKenna and Laidlow, the latter was not
member of that committee, nor indeed
of the Forty-ninth Congress, and ] did not
even know him until after Jones had de-
parted, while my relations with both gen
tlcmen so far as | know, are harmonious"

WAsmlNGToN, ID. c., June l6.-The bill TO
authorize the erection of a public building
in Martinsburg at a cost of 900 has
been approved by the President and certi-
fled to the Secretary of State, so that it is
now absolutely safe. Senator Faulkner
and Representative Wilson deserve great
credit for the success of this bill, as II
passed after the determination of the Ad-
ministration to make a reputation for econ
omy by vetoing public building bills, and
il was known that bills for Democratic
States would be first selected for slaugh-
ter. But Mcssrs. Faulkner and Wilson
were indefatigablc and it is due to their
diligence that the bill is a law.

been a candidate for Office ever since Har-
rison was declared elected, is here TO de
eide. he says. as TO the ckoice between

rctary's advice

THE CENSUS WAR.
How the Boom Towns are Affected by
the Enumeration.

ST PAUL, June l6.-The census war still
RACES. 1t is n war such as has been seen
but once since the famous battle for Viii
lard hOnors at the opening of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. The exception is the
time, two years ago, when the directory
census was so hot that the fair twin up the
river was detected in the act of enrolling
in a special boom directory the names of
dogs and horses, giving them the surnames
of their owners Just now the fight is over
the census result, and each is determined
that the other shall be shown the smaller.
The daily papers look like circus posters,
with their huge display type, in which
THEY TELL THE CITIZEN
that the future of the city depends upon
the result of the census and urge him to see
that his servant girl has been enumerated
and save the city. St Paul has everything
to win in the present battle, and Minneap-
oils, seeing it, is straining every nerve To
day every public body there met again and
every individual member was sent out as
an assistant enumeratOr TO swell the cen
sus. St Paul was awake and followed
suit. The jobbers and the chamber of COM
merce met and passed resolutions urging
the census superintendent to lose no names.
As IL is, there is no doubt many names Will
be omitted The'law is entirely incompe-
perintendents all over the State are de
nouncing Superintendent Porter as a theo-
rist and lacking in practical sense. All new
cities where so many young men live at ho-
tells and boarding houses Will suffer in the
enumeration and st. Paul and Minneapolis
particularly so.
DULorH, MINI, June l4.-Duluth is up
in arms over the census question. Several
of the census enumerators have stopped
work, even though they admit they have
failed TO take record of a large proportion
of the people in their districts. II was
hoped that the census would show about
%. 900 population, an increase of over 5000
since 1850 Now it looks as though the
town would do well to get 10000 All day
long to-day prominent citizens worked hard
inQuirng who had been omitted from the
returns \ comparison showed
AN APPALLING INEFFIcIENCY
in the census takers. The reasons given
by the enumeratOrs for abandoning the
work is that at cents they cannot make il
nav. Most of them can only get fifty
names a day. The lumber districts in
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin are
sadly neglected There is great indigna-
ton here over the botch work. and the su-
pervisor will be urged by a mass meeting of
citizens to extend the time for the work ar
other week
CHICAGO, June l6.-The Daily Nelrs this
morning prints number of complaints in
dicating that the Federal census, which
was practically completed last night, is de
cidedly faulty so far as Chicago is con
cerncd. The gist of the statements given
is that whether from lack of time, incom-
petence or negligence a great number OF
families have been left unvisited, and that
the omissions are of such wholesale char
acter as TO make the enumeration little bet
ter than a farce.

WAsnINGroN. June l6.-Printed copies
of the tariff bill as amended by the Repub-
lican members Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee up to Saturday night were laid be
fore the subcommittee today. ltincluded
the sugar and tobacco schedules and cop
les of these were given to-day to Senator
Carlisle, representing the minority. Sey-
eral changes were made to-day and this
will probably be the case every day until
the bill gets into the Senate. 1t is expect
cd that the subcommittee will be able to
report the measure Wednesday or Thurs
day. Mr. Mckinley said that the changes
in the House bill by the Finance Commit
tee are comparatively few and unim-
pOrtant.
Senator Carlisle says he has not yet be-
gun work on the report TO be submitted
bv the minority, and that he will not do so
until the entire bill has been placed in his
hands. This need not delay the report OF
the bill to the Senate by the majority, he
saws. as the minority will ask leave to pre-
sent its views at a subsequent date.
