THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
State Department Busy Learning Details
Of the Passamaquoddy hay Affair.

Commissioner Carter Of the general
land office has directed the Register and
Receiver Of public lands at Lewiston,
Mont, to receive mineral applications to
allow mineral entries in the abandoned
Fort McGinnis military reservation in
Montana under the same conditions as
when made for other public lands. The
same rule will apply to the abandoned
Fort McDermitt military reservation in
Nevada.
Advices received by the Bureau Of
American Republics state thata specific
duty OF II cents kilogramme t2.2
pounds) has been imposed on all lard
imported in the Republic Of Peru. 1t
has been decided that all packages
shipped, discharged and re.emlMrked at
ports Of the Republic shall be marked
with the gross weight. Cases, barrels
and crates must also be marked with the
measurement Of their dimensions ac-
cording to the metric system, and fines
are imposed for noncompliance with
| this law.
The State Department is quite busy
learning the details Of the seizure Of the
Eastport fishermen, SO as to be able to
act intelligently when the time for ac-
tion arrives. The United States Consul
at the Canadian town next to Eastport
is investigating things, and when he
makes his report 1t will bequite compe-
tent for the department to take some
very interesting steps towards obtaining
an explanation Of the case from Great
Britain. There is no danger Of repeti-
ton OF the Outrage as II is being
called in lieu Of more definite term,
and the department feels that haste in
such an event would be unwise.
Several letters have been received by
Postmaster-General Wanamaker from
Messrs. Brooks and Porter, delegates
from the United States to the Fourth
international Congress at Vienna. That
body completed its labors on June ID.
Perhaps the most important Of its re-
suits is the admission of the Australian
colonies to the union, to take effect July
4, 1892. The only civilized countries
now remaining outside the union are
Cape Colony and the South African Re-
public, which will probably come in at
the next congress, making the postal
union universal " in fact as well as in
name. The other interesting changes
noted are the proposed issue of postal
cards with paid reply for international
service, in the reduction OF the registry
4 centimes Is cents), in an increase in
the maximum-sige package Of sample
from 8x4x2 inches to l2x4xS, an indem-
nifty for lost registered articles and inter
national cooperation in the prosecution
Of counterfeiters OF postage stamps.

GENERAL SPORTING GOSSIP
HOW THE NEW BASE BALL CLUB is
COMING ON.
MIR. Scanlon Seems to BE Doing Very Well
The Park is All Right-The League
Reserve Bist-Talk of the Clubs.

Mr.. Michael Scanlon is doing admirably with
his new baseball venture. Without any re-
served list to commence with, without any
players pledged to his agreement, he has sent
his emissary out and the returns have been most
gratifying, as already he has signed a constella-
ton that cannot help being success here. He
has engaged players that other clubs were after,
and to show how strong they are we give below
the average of the men. In this list is included
Donovan, the great centre-felder of the Bostons
of last season, who it is pretty certain will play
here. He led the country at centre-ield last
year and is great player. o'Brien and Ma
guire, the battery that is practically secured,
though as yet unsigned, are not included. By
comparing this list it will be seen that the men
show up remarkably strong, and will naturally
improve somewhat this season. The list is as
follows.
