Continued Inadequate Attendance-Bas Sc
Ball Statistics.
CHICAGO June 23-There were no inter
esting developments in the base ball field
last week, The two rival aggregations
played their schedules when the weaihe
was willing, with the attendance at such
figures as, if the base ball statisticians are
correct, to insure big deficit at the end of
the season for the stockholders to make
up. The Brotherhood led in attendance
nearly every day, but. the figures were not
very far apart. Saturday, however, with
three games apiece, the attendance was
over 1900 in favor of the Brotherhood,
and yet it did not reach the average per
game of 1900, which has been declared
necessary to enable the organizations to
come out even.

RTBBLESDALE'S ROAST.
He Says the House of Lords is
Decaying.


LONDON, July 5.-An extraordinary
spectacle is that of the house of lords
calling attention to its own decay as a
legislative body. Lord Ribblesdale is
the peer who dared to hold up the mir
ror to the representatives of titled ariS-
tocracy, and it must have made some of
the lords feel uncomfortable about the
necks when their noble friend began
his speech with an allusion to the gull
lOtine and its daily work during the
French revolution. The burden of his
address was that the peers neglected
their legislative duties, and he proposed,
as remedy. that only those who were
regular in attendance should be allowed
to vote. He quoted from BagehOt's work
on the English constitution to the
effect that ''some day or other small at
tendances of the house of lords will de-
stroy the house of lords" The subject
was dropped after brief discussion:
but it has served in calling public atten-
ton to the fact, hardly thought of be-
fore, that the lords themselves do not
seem to put much OF value on the great
privileges which they hold by the claim
OF noble birth. Out Of a possible attend.
ance of about $50. the average attend
ance is less than forty. The indications,
therefore. are that whenever the people
get ready to abolish the house of lords,
that body will be in condition for the
funeral. While on the subject of the
house OF lords, it may be added that
Prince Albert Victor, who has just
taken his seat in that house, has another
name besides those by which he is gen
orally known. His final name is Ed
ward, and presumably, if he lives to be
king, he will be King Edward.

which was a twO-Story structure, from

Heavy Duties Imposed Upon
American Corn.

Heavy Duties Imposed Upon
American Corn.
PARIS, July 5.-The senate this week
has shown its hand plainly in regard to
American questions. After long de-
bate it finally voted in favor of duty
of francs on corn and supplemented
this by imposing duty of francs on
cornmeal. During the closing debate it
was distinctly avOWed that the duty on
corn was to be considered only con-
tinuation of the nine-year-old policy to-
ward American pork. Comte FOucher
de CARL declared that the importation
of American pork was only another
mode OF importing American corn, and
French farmers could not maintain
themselves against it. The prohibition
of pork was right and ought to be
maintained; but the duty on corn
should also be made prohibitiye.
M. MiIlaud called attention to
the fact that American pork is
only prohibited Oh the ground of its
alleged unhealthfulneSS. He declared
that this is merely a pretext. Other
members said that it was all right. and
the prohibition ought to be maintained.
An article published IN the Temps,
which IS thought to reflect the views.
of the government. suggests that there
might be circumstances under which it
might be desirable to Withdraw the
prohibition against pork. A PROPOSE
ton is being agitated among American
artists for the foundation in New York.
of PriX Gle Paris similar to the French
PriX de Rome, under the conditions OF
which four artists, who are selected here
by competent artists on artistic author
ity, are sent every year to Rome to COM
plete their studies in art at public eX-
pense. The plan now suggested is that
similar endowment be raised in Amer
lea for the purpose of sending yearly to
Paris one or more American artists
under thirty years Of age. Some we'll
known members of the American col
ony have expressed their desire to COLI
tribute to such fund.
