 New Haven defeated Rochester for the second time at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon. The weather WAS threatening, but nevertheless about one thousand were in attendance, and they were amply repaid, for they saw game replete with brilliant plays on both sides Gruber was in the box for the home team, and he plainly showed that he has lost none of his cunning. Goodall started in to pitch for the visitors, but he fsred no better than he did Saturday, and Darn brough was substituted in the seventh inning, but New Haven had the game we'll in hand. Griffin carried of the batting honors with two doubles and 6 single. Beecher made the star play of the day by catching fly after a long run and on which he completed a double play. Mur- phy also distinguished himself in the field. Wells caught in his usual good style. For the visitors Hoover took care of everything in right garden, and Me Keough's work behind the bat was bril- liant. His two errors were excussble To day the New Ravens will meet the strong Buffalo team and @ close game may be expected. Pettee, of last years New Haven nine will cover second base for the sFournier and Wells will be in the points for the local club.

The Free Binding Twine Bill Pass es That Body by a Vote of 1s3 to 47-The Republicans Declined to Vote-Other Important Measures Favorably Acted Upon. WASHINGTON, May 2.-Mr. Bryan of Nebraska moved to suspend the rules and pass the free binding twine bill. MT. Burrows demanded @ second and objected to MT. Bryan's request that sec- ond be considered as ordered.
 Messrs. Burrows and Bryan were ap- between them pro or con.
 After a brief wait, however, the demo- crats managed to muster a quorum and the second was ordered.
 MT. Bryan said that the subject of free binding twine had been so fully discussed during the debate on the wool bill that he had no desire to speak further on the mat ter.
 Mr. Payne of New York, opposing the matter, said that no good reason could be advanced for placing binding twine on the free list that did not apply to every manu- factured article in the United States. The tariff on binding twine was but seven tenths of @ cent a pound, and the abolition of this small duty was intended only as 8 sop to the farmers who had been injured by the bill to place wool on the free list.
 Mir. Hatch of Maine earnestly supported the bill.
 Mir. Covert of New York opposed the measure and denied that there was any trust to enhance the price of binding twine, where jute was an ingredient part of the manufacture.
 MT. Bryan asserted that there was binding twine trust; and he advocated the pending measure as being in the interest the farmer was about to put fence around his hen roost tho foxes objected and said: "You attend to your own busi ness, we will take care of the hens."
 The motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was agreed to-yeas 1S2, nays
 On motion of Mir. Blount of Georgia the rules were suspended and the bill was passed appropriating $15O,OO0 to enable the president to fulfill the stipulations contained in the treaties between the United States and Great Britain, signed February 29 and April IS, 1892, in regard to tribunals of arbitration at Paris.
 There was neither opposition nor discus sion of the measure.
 MT. Belknap of Michigan moved to suspend the rules and pass the senate bill to provide for the permanent preservation and custody of the records of the volun- teers' army.
 It authorizes the president to select for chief of the division of records an officer of the army whom he may consider to be especially well qualified, who shall have the rank, pay and emoluments of colonel.
 There was some i'll organized opposition to tke measure, but it was passed by large vote.
 The house then went into committee of the whole on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill.
 MT. Hit made various efforts to restore the salaries of consuls, but his efforts were of no avail.
 Pending action on the bill the committee rose and the house adjourned.
