In conversation with a STAR reporter this
morning, Mr.. W. Stone Albert, in charge of the
work Of compiling the laws of the District of
Columbia, which work was authorized by Con-
gress, March, 1889, said that there was yet to be
very lowest estimate. He was very frank to ad-
NIT that the amount Of labor required to be
expended had far exceeded his expectations,
especially when he realized how utterly mad
equate was the amount appropriated for clerk
hire and incidental expenses, the absurdly
small sum Of g, 900. OF this amount but $50

tediousness and perplexity, and despite his
most earnest and unceasing endeavors he had
never been able to secure for it that further Con-
gressional aid without which the completion
OF the work seemed almost an impossibility
Should Gen. Hemphiu of South Carolina be
made chairman of the coming House District
committee, which seemed very probable Mr.
Albert felt confident of obtaining such aid; for
Gen Hemphill was not only one Of the very
best congressional friends the District owe RI I'd

Importance OF the work, but also the great ne

such aid could could not be obtained, he
would continue tka work to the best of his

slstance In his power to a work SO impera-
lively needed, and one which, if well done,
would prove to be of unquestionatle value.

THE FIRST GAME

Tho championship season OF the American
Association was ended locally yesterday in .
characteristic manner by the home team losing
both games The air was raw and the weather
threatening and the attendance was very small,
less tina five hundred people being present,
though but one admission was charged for
both games. There were those who thought
that too much
The visitors won both contests through su-
perior batting and fielding. Indeed, the States
men we're outplayed all round The score OF
the first game was Is to 8, the Senators being
distauced from the start. The batteries were
Carsey and Mcclure and Mcmahon and Town
send. Carsey was hit savagely and eight earned
runs were made from his delivery.
Baltimore scored two runs in the first inning
while Washington was making one. and ii
looked for a few minutes as if the Statesmen
might be In IL. but il an illusion. In the
second two more dropped into the Oriole bag,
and another in the fourth and two more In the
NTH, and thus the visitors had made seven runs
before Washington had secured her second one.
II was hard hitting coupled with errors that was
doing the business, and the climax came in the
nxth inning. when Baltimore made four good
singles and Tommy Dowd made bad error and
four runs resulted. One more in the seventh
and three In the eighth ran the total up TO nj
teen
Tho Nationals tailed one in the first on hits
by Dovd and Murphy, one in the sixth on a
double by Griffin and a single by Mcclure and
NC iast III seventh OH ny Inv
held and Murphy and a sacrifice by Carsey.
Washington made ten hits and eight errors
and Baltimore seventeen hits and five errors.
SECOND GAME.
The second game, though shorter, WAS closer.
Five innings were played and the tally was Is
to II. Foreman and Mcclure and Madden and
Townsend were in the points. Foreman was
hit almost as hard as Carsey, and, as far the
average to the innings went much harder.
Sutcliffe, who made u miserable failure at short
In the nrst game, started out to play the same
position in the second, but he gave it up In q
little while and let Carsey, who was in the CEN
ter garden in place of Griffin, take his place.
Baltimore made one in the first inning and
Washington took one in their half of the
second. Then, with two out and one man in,
after that the Orioles hit the ball hard and
lead that could not be overcome, though Mad
den's wildness enabled the Statesmen to tally
frequently and almost tie the score. Each side
made three in the third. Washington four and
Baltimore two in the fourth, and each team
three more in the fifth. Then the game was
called.
Washington made seven hits and seven errors
and Baltimore fifteen hits and two errors
There were no other games played in the as
ISOLATION, and SO Washington had the small
honor Of being the last team to play on its own
grounds 1t also last in other respects.
Baltimore took third place by one point by
winning both games, beating the Athletics out
