LONDON, March ia dispatch from
St.P etersburg says that it is learned on
good authority that the czar is taking a
remarkable interest in the financial ex-
periments of NJ Vishnigradsky, his NM
ister of finance, who is doing his ut
most to re-introduce into Russia the
former silver metallic currency in place
of the paper rouble.
In case exchange continues to hold
good, there is little doubt that the
finance minister viii gain his end, as
the difference between the silver and
paper rouble now only amounts to five
cents.
The czar is exceedingly economical in
his own personal expenditures, and does
what he can in order to further the
plans of his minister, which do not
please certain of the grand dukes, accus-
toned as they are to throwing money
about ad hbitum.

THEY MAY BE ALIVE.
The Eight Imprisoned Men in the wilkes
barre Coal Mines.


barre Coal Mines.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March lit is
said that the workmen who were en-
gagged in laying pipe from the Stanton
mine TO the Hillman mine were startled
Sunday evening by loud knocking on the
main water pipe, which runs all through
the mines. The men stopped work all at
once. George Mcdonald cried out: "My
God, what can 1T mean? Is it possible
that the men are still aliveT
II is thought by well posted miners
that, if the men are really alive, they
must be ON the top lift of the Hillman
vein. They are able to get air there,
and may have taken a mule along with
them when they found themselves
hemmed. The mule could have been
kept for day or two, and then the men,
finding no release at hand, might have
slaughtered him. This would be a re-
lief to the animal also, as he would have
to die in the course Of time. If the men
found themselves in the predicament
stated the fact can be depended upon
that they saved Every drop of the mules
blood for drinking purposes. The men
will be able to subsist on the mules flesh
for a couple Of weeks. If the air con-
tinues good they could easily live that
long.
For the first time since the fire began
smoke ceased issuing from the South
Wilkesbarre shaft Sunday afternoon.
Over 900 gallons of water minute
have been poured into the mine for
several days, and it has now reached the
fire.
Rev. Father Thomas, of Hoboken,
conducted the requiem mass, celebrated
in behalf of the entombed miners in the
South Wilkesbarre shaft at o'clock
Monday morning in ST. Mary's Catholic
church The services, which were of
most solemn and impressive nature were
attended by about 1000 people.

A circular will shortly be issued by the COM
mittee having the matter in charge to every
club in the District of Columbia inviting en-
tries to the lawn tennis tournament for the
spring championship of 1890. Judged by the
large number of entries already promised, this
tournament bids fair to be the most successful
one ever held in this city, and in addition to
valuable prizes for gentlemen pleasant fea-
ture will be the prizes offered for competition
by the ladies, which latter will undoubtedly at
tract many entries. The courts of the Bach
elors' Club, Seventeenth and P streets, where
play will begin on the 21st instant, are in excel
lent condition and the seating capacity has been
greatly increased. Entries should be posted
with S. B. Shebley, at the Department of JUS
tice, before P. NJ. May 20, and the fees of 50
for doubles and 81 for singles are payable at the

GEORGETOWN Athletic Notes.

Tuesday the Georgetown Reserves played
game with the Ideals, of Washington and de-
feated them by score of 90.
The next game takes place at Atlantic Park
between the Georgetown Varsity and the Co
lumbia Athletic clubs This is their first game
of the series.
The Varsity team have played two more of
the regular scheduled games. The first took
place at Kendall Green against the Kendalls,
who were, as formerly, unable to hold their own
against the Georgetown boys. Still they showed
marked improvement over the first game.
Score, 1873, in favor of Georgetown. The bat
teries were G. Gleason and Rockey for George
town, Leitner and Taylor for the Kendalls.
On Thursday the Varsity team played the
University of Pennsylvania. The game was
good one all the way through, and was won
simply on errors. When the Georgetowns kept
their heads and played carefully everything
looked bright for them, but errors and failures
to bat the ball at critical moments caused de-
feat. Twice Georgetown had the bases filled
and failed to score. The base-running of the
Pennsylvania boys was the finest ever seen on
the home grounds. Another thing to be noted
is that the Pennsylvania team contains seven
professionals, which is an open secret All of
the Varsity boys are proud of the game the
team put up. 1t was by far the best they have
played this year. Every one was impressed by
the strong battery work of w. Gleason and
Rackey, also of the fine play of Hoffman on

WILMINGTON, DEL, May 3.-The Washing
tons made their first appearance here to-day
and were greeted with very large crowd, as
enthusiasts were eager to see the old Leaguers
and the new material that has been infused into
the local club. The Washingtons made a
splendid impression, and all concurred in say
ing it was the best team that has struck the
place this season. The base hits were few and
far between, but those of the Washingtons were
generally of the right kind and when men were
on the bases. The Washingtons were presented
with eight bases on balls, while seven went to
Maloney pitched splendid game, holding the
Wilmingtons down to three scattering hits,
while Riddle backed him up in style that
caught the people immensely His throwing to
bases was the best exhibition ever given in this
city. The base running and fielding was per-
feet. The score was as follows:

their wheels with them and expect to have a
royal time while here.
All the leading sprinters of America, Willie
Day. Carey Owens, Dohm, Thomas, and Others,
have expressed themselves as pleased with the
selection of Washington as the place for the
fall meeting of the A. A. N, and say they will
be here.
The Potomacs are considering seriously the
proposition to enter an eight-oared crew at
Newark on Decoration Day, as many of them
would like another chance at the Tritons to see
which is the better crew. The prizes offered are
gold watches to the winners.
1t is understood that the Columbia Athletics
will enter crews at the Patapsco Navy regatta
on June 25, and If they are anyways successful
they will enter crews at Philadelphia on July
T. Capt. Stnemetz says If the oarsmen show
the least inclination to row they will be given
every opportunity to do so.
Yesterday afternoon a large delegation of the
c. A. left for Philadelphia to inspect the new
quarters of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill
Navy In the party were Messrs. Howard
Perry, Sam Stinemetz, Willie Hibbs, Dorsey
Brown, West Wagner, Bert Zeyerly, Hub
Smith, Fred. Thompson, VIII Fletcher. Frank
McDermott, George Glib Colgate, Fred Smith,
Freddy Ward, Bob Larner and Others.
The announcement in last Sundays HERALD
of the speeches in favor of harmony at the Co.
lumba Athletics jolliflcation caused much sat
isfaction among the thousands of athletes and
their friends in the city. There is strong hope
that under the leadership of the c. A. overtures
will be made looking toward a union of the
clubs in one common brotherhood. The Ana
lostans are, as they have always been, ready
and willing to cooperate while the Potomacs
stand eager to meet again their rivals of the
oar in friendly spirit.
Work on the new athletic grounds of the Po-
tomac Club is progressing finely. The con-
tractors are confident they will turn over the
grounds finished by Thursday of the present
week. The baseball field will be one of the
finest and prettiest in this section of the coun-
| try the intield especially being remarkable for
its evenness The tennis courts, six in num-
ber, have been carefully looked after, as have
the plats laid off for vaulting, tossing the ham,
mer, and running jumps. A straight-away
course Of 125 yards is feature of the field. The
| track, quarter of mile in circumference, has
been well leveled off.
A wharf nearly four hundred feet long has
been built from the grounds to the edge of the
channel, so it will be seen that the club is spar

enjoyment and pleasure to its members The
enterprise shown by the club is already meeting
with success, as the membership roll is com,
