ITALY'S FUNDS SHORT.
Diplomatic and Consular Salaries to
Be Greatly Reduced.
MANY OFFICES TO BE ABOLISHED,
The Vatican Is Compelled to Adopt
Economical Measures.
NO SUMMER VACATION FOR CARDINALS.

ROME, July 27.-It is announced that the
italian deficit for the year 1S9O-91 is over
7S, 900, 900 lire, notwithstanding all the
economies introduced A council of the
Ministry was held few days ago to formu-
late the instructions for opening the nego-
tiations for the commercial alliance with
Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. The
negotiations at Berne will be simply pre-
liminary and will be limited, for the pres
ent, simply to an exchange of views on the
subject of the tariffs to be agreed upon.
The final negotiations will take place in the
autumn.
To further diminish the expenses, as al
ready announced, reduction will be made
in the salaries of various diplomatic and
consular officers. The salaries of the Ambas-
sadors at Paris, London, Vienna st. Peters
burg and Berlin will be reduced Is, 900 lire.
The Ministers at Madrid and Bavaria will
suffer reduction of 5000 lire In addition
there will be reduction in the salaries of
nearly all the foreign Ministers The num-
Der of consuls will be reduced, and those
who are retained will receive decreased sal
aries. 1t is also announced that 13, 900 men
who were for economical reasons to have re-
cSlVeQ at tnlS Time an unllmlte0 1urlOugn,
will for sundry reasons not be retained in
the army for the present.
The recent heavy losses at the Vatican
have compelled a series of economical meas
ures also. A commission of Cardinals has
been appointed to study economies, especi-
ally with reference to the Pontifcal army.
The Swiss guard will not be reduced, but
instead the gendarmes and the Palatin guards
will be reduced by leaving vacant the places
of the house.
The Cardinals find themselves also obliged
to submit to economies. The Pope is mex
orable on this subject, and says that it is
necessary to make great exertions to remedy
the disasters that have befallen the treasury,
and especially the st. Peters pence. The
Pope adds that he remains in Rome during
the heat of the summer, and TINT the Car
dinals can as well endure the heat in their
turn. Several of the Cardinals are dissatis-
fed with this forced residence and labor,
but they must, of course, submit
In response to dispatches from the Italian
residents of Maryland, Virginia and the
District of Columbia asking their Govern
ment to take an official part in the Chicago
Exposition it is announced that the Gov
eminent will favor exhibitors all that it is
possible, but it, as matter of principle,
can take no official part.

join st. Louis.

man, joined Columbus to-day. He will re-
place Kuehne and play with the team in the

to-day regarding the move OF the American
Association in securing three-year lease
on Recreation Park grounds at Pittsburg

means just what the dispatches state. There
will be an Association team in Pittsburg
next year and one of the biggest stars in the
National League to-day will manage it.
President O'Neil, of the Pittsburg Club, was
the cause of all the trouble between the AS
sociation and League by stealing Bierbauer
last spring and we propose to fight him in
his own city. The Association will show the
people of Pittsburg what good article of
ball we can put up for 25 cents as against
the imitation furnished by the Pittsburg
club for 80 cents"

Columbus club, to-day signed a contract to
next winter. Comisky said: "Ward and
Ewing want to go, but don't want them. l
am on the lookout for ball players who have
something beside past reputation"

game with the Hamilton eleven, also that
with the Detroits, but lost the Chicago game,
thus, to date winning three and losing two
of the series, with fair prospects of securing
the Pittsburg game. The local eleven
greatly miss the playing of Alexander Nc
Pherson who is now with the Chicagos.
ONLY three of the Germantown regular
eleven are with them ON this trip. As mat
tiers now stand, they hold the Eastern
championship, while that of the Western
championship, comprising the cities of Pitts
burg, Detroit and Chicago, is very close and
is soon to be decided by game between the
Pittsburgs and Chicagos. The time for this
game is not yet decided, owing to an i'm
portant disagreement thereto. The winner
of this game gets the Western champion
shin and will have to play the Germantown
eleven in Philadelphia, September 9and 10,
to decide the championship of the league.

Were All Dumped,

BUTLER, July 27.-At the village of Peters
vile, eight miles southwest of this place.
three races were run on third of a mile
track last Saturday. In the free-for-alI
Christ Stfchner's PAGER Butler horse, with
a record of 2:23, was entered, and so much of
favorite the local sports placed all their
money on it. They returned in the evening
crest-fallen, having been beaten at their
own game by a ringer from Etna, which won
the stake with apparent ease. The best
time was 245 which was better than was
expected owing to the condition of the
track. The other races were run by roadsters
and were slow and featureless. An effort is
being made to arrange race between the
Etna and Butler horses, to take place at the
Butler race track within a few weeks.

PARIS, July N.-The execution of young
Berland and Dore, two accomplices of
Mere Berland in what is known as
the Courbevoie murder, took place
this morning on the Place de la Roquette.
The usual crowds of people had gathered
last night and very early this morning, on
the famous Place de la Roquette, where all
Paris executions by the guillotine take
place.
Berland walked calmly to the guillotine,
but desperate struggle took place on the
scaffold, and the doomed man fought like
demon. Finally the executioners sue
ceeded in forcing the criminal down
upon the bascule, and from there slid his
head under the knife. Dore did not make
any resistance. The execution of the two
men occupied only eight minutes. Mere
Berland had been granted a reprieve
After the execution mob of spectators, with
a combined mighty rush, broke through the
Gordon of police and, rushing up to the
scaffold, gloated over the blood-stained ap-
paratus, some of the most depraved taking a
handful of sawdust away with them as a
souvenir.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
The Germantown Cricket Team Tackle the
Local Eleven in a Two-Inning Contest
The First Days Play Greatly in Favor of
the Visitors-More PLAYING To-Day.


The result of the first innings in the game
between the Germantown cricket eleven of
Philadelphia, and the Pittsburg first eleven,
played at Brushton station yesterday after
noon, was l4s to 50 in favor of the visitors.
The Pittsburg eleven didn't make the per-
centage, and will resume play in the morn
ing, this being two inning contest.
The weather was perfect and the grounds
were in excellent condition. The visiting
eleven said that the wicket WAS the best
they had played on during their present
tour and that the Pittsburg crease was the
truest and best they had seen. The top bat
ters in yesterdays play on the Germantown
side were as follows: G. S. Patterson. 49, A.
Van Rensselaer,, 81; n. Etting, lS; +. III.
Bohlen, IL; T. A. Biddle, Il. Those for the
Pittsburg eleven were, F. Schwartz, II; j. E.
Horn, IA, and A. S. Valentine, a.
The play was characterized throughout by
splendid fielding on both sides: in fact, the
visitors said it was better game, in this
respect than any they had played on their
tour. Etting hit remarkably hard, which
characterizes his playing. Ofthe Pfttsburgs,
Schwartz, Horn and Valentine played very
good cricket indeed. Bowling was the
weakest spot in the local eleven.
The Germantown eleven, ON this trip, have
played two games with the Toronto eleven,

THEY FOUGHT AT LAST.
Ted Pritchard Settles Jem Smith in Three
Very Short Rounds.

Very Short Rounds.
LONDON, July N.-The Smith-Pritchard
battle for the so-called championship of
England took place this evening. Smith
acted suspiciously and did not seem to want
punishment.
The match was postponed this morning on
account of the leaking out Conformation re-
garding the location of the rendezvous. A
new meeting place was appointed for this
evening, only 30 persons being present. In
the first round Smith took decided lead.
He gave Pritchard a heavy blow on the body,
drove him alpover the ring and foored him
twice before he was called. Pritch-
ard then seemed dazed. In the
second round, however, a surprising
change occurred. Pritchard was sprightly,
while Smith appeared to be weak. Pritchard
forced the fighting with such effect that
Smith soon showed signs of having enough.
Twice the men went down, but at the close
of the round Smith was hardly able to stand.
The third round was a one-sided affair.
Pritchard had quite his own way and placed
his opponent prone and helpless on his back.
The display was far from scientific. Both
men tried to settle the affair as quickly as
possible,

Nav Meet To-Day

1t is likely that the directors Of the local
ball club will meet to-day and settle the
squabble now existing. 1t was stated yes
terday that Messrs Rca and McCallin will
be home this morning to attend the meeting.
1t is further understood that Mr. McGunni-
gle, if paid the amount of his draft, will
leave the city. This will certainly be the
most satisfactory way out of the difficulty
and if Mr.. McGunnigle is paid his claim and
Hanlon retained, the dignity of the club will
certainly be sustained all round. There is
no other honorable course open.

WEsLEYANs AGAINST GAMBLING.
The President of the Conference Makes a
Statement on the Subject.


Statement on the Subject.
LONDON, July 27.-The President of the
Wesleyan Conference to-day made an
authoritative statement of the views of the
church on recent social scandals. He con-
demned the doctrine that while cheating
was wrong, gambling was right. The Wes-
leyans, he said, held that the wrong began
with the gambling, whether the games of
chance were practiced in aristocratic or
stock exchange or commercial circles. 1t
was disgrace to any class of the communi-
ty, leading to lamentable consequences.
Churches ought to unite and obtain legisla-
ton to check the evil.
The President also suggested that among
the means to be taken to prevent gambling
is that of preventing the newspapers from
printing advertisements directly tending to
promote gambling. In conclusion the
President said that many thousands of
Christian voters determined, at the coming
general election, to put moral questions
above party considerations and would re-
turn men free from moral stain.
