is apparently the average result OF the lmpoI'd-

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

strong although there was no news TO aIccu 'n nc

business the losses suffered yesterday Were lnlIy
recovered in spite of fractional reaction toward

which showed highly favorable results was l9l-
lowed hv a decline % about Ia per cent IN the
active list The sequence would have been curl
ous if the speculation not IN the control OF
small traders who bought stocks in the carly deai
i,rs and therefore sold them before the close ~
probably would not have occurred had the mlrhct
been broader and more active. me CLOSING was
NOT weak although made at small concessions.

cause he could not get work, and he would

THE NATIONAL BALL GAME.
4 Notable Increase in Attendance-CI Club
Scores and Records.

CHICAGO, June "A matter in base
ball circles was settled last week and
that is that the Brotherhood will
make no changes in its schedule This
was decided at a meeting of the managers
held at New York Saturday night.
Whether the fact had any influence in
bringing the Brotherhood to the above
conclusion, it is a fact that the attend ance
last week showed large increase fo- the
two big aggregations. Up TO the close Of
the week ended May 81 the total Attend
ance for that week was 81, 041. while the
total for last week was I42, l44 This
shows probably that people will attend if
they can do so comfortably, as the wet ther
was the most propitious for outdoor sports
that has been vouchsated this season. The
attendance Saturday at League and
Brotherhood games was: League, ?, 143;
Brotherhood, Il, 123

Brown, of Massachusetts,, the well-known

addressed an open letter to Morrill,, chair

the house tariff bill sugar schedule. Mr.
Brown says that instead of only or 10
per cent. of the sugar annually consumed
in this country being produced here. as
some have claimed in congress. nearly II
per cent was produced in the United States
last year, and that the proportion is rap.

THE CENSUS MAN Is ABROAD.
He Yearns for Information Which Had
Better Be CheerfulIy Given.


WASHINGTON CRY, June 2.-The ma
chinery for taking the census was put in
motion to-day all over the United States,
and it will be pushed as expeditiously as
possible. Supt. Porter anticipates early
returns to his Office, that the work of
tabulsting can be entered upon and COM
pleted within reasonable period. All
the preliminary matters have been ar
ranged, blanks PREPARED, enumerators in
structed as to their duties, and all that re-
mains to be done is to collect the data
which it has been decided shall become q
part of the census
An Army of Men Employed.
1t requires A., 900 men as enumerators to
gather the requisite information, and each
of these is either employed in definite
locality or upon some special topic. This,
however, does not include the additional
thousands of clerks employed in collect
ing and tabulating the returns made that
will come back from all over the country
as the result of the labors of the enumer
ators; so it can be seen at a glance what q
corps of men it requires, and an immense
sum of money must be expended to accom-
plish this undertaking.
Objections to Colored Enumerators-
Mr.. Porter has accepted and con firmed
the supervisors selections of enumerators,
except in a few instances, where the fit
ness of the appointees was questioned, and
it being shown that they were incom-
petent others were substituted. In the
south. in some places, objection was made
to the appointment of colored men, but
the supervisors being held responsible for
their men. he concluded to trust to their
discretion, and declined to interfere upon
that ground. 1t is known, however, that
appointments of this kind are few, and
even in the case of a colored supervisor
nearly all the enumerators designated by
him are white men.
For the representative to Ponder.
1t is not anticipated that much trouble
will be experienced in obtaining answers
to the questasm that are TO be propounded,
but where refusals are met with they will
