A PRETTY CANE.

Yesterday there was a game of ball at
Island Park that would have given great
pleasure to our lamented friend Caesar
could. he have excused himself from bis
perpetual engagement with Pluto in order
to be present. tie might have wondered
at the uniforms-tor Caesars giants were
clothed in chemise-but he would have
remarked that they played as good ball as
ever he saw III the shadow Of POns HOratlus.
The Virginias and the Richmond College
Club met in a game. which was called IN
the beginning of the eighth inning on
account of the severe rain-stOrm, and
which the Nirginias won by a score of to2.

THE MlLLlNER CASE.
Secretary Noble Denies the Appeal from
the Land OAiee.

WASHINGTON, July 9O.-Secretary Noble
to-day denied the appeal of John Milliner,
administrator of Robert Milliner, deceased,
from the decision of the Commissioners Of
the General Land Office. rejecting his APP
plication for revolutionary-wa bounty
land scrip for 1000 acres on account Of
military land-warrant No. COL, issued to
John Mlliner as administrator for
the same amount of land on April
4, 1888, by the Virginia State Land
Office. Tho Secretary holds that
the burden is upon the applicant
TO show that he 10 entitled TO the warrant,
and the fact that the heirs TO whom 1t was
issued in the first instance have not moved
in almost fifty years TO secure scrip IN lieu
OF the warrant is held TO mean that they
acquiesced in the judgment that they were
not entitled to the same. without de-
Gliding whether Robert Milliner IN his life;
time was not entitled TO the bounty-land
under the laws of Virginia, or that the
warrant issued 10 his heirs was or was not
fairly issued, the Secretary hnds that upon
the record the claimant Is not entitled 10
the scrip asked for.

The House Situation Serious for Them
md Inferekting Generally.

WASHINGTON. July 30.-Through keeping
up brave show of confidence, II was
plain to be seen that the Worids-fair peo-
ple were somewhat disheartened when
the House adjourned to-day without
making any progress toward solution OF
the present difficulty. Their great fear
now Is the disappearance of q quorum, and,
judging from the number OF members VINO
were preparing TO quit the city for more
or less extended periods even before tne
Adjournment to-day, II would appear tnat
this fear is by no means groundless. But
what help a quorum is to bring 70 them IA
this pass they are not prepared TO say. ior
even quorum cannot prevent nlipustei-
ing without special rule. The Commit
tee on Rules is not likely 70 bring IN such
rule unless requested 70 DO 50 oy naa-
iority OF the Democratic representatives,
and that majority has not yet been secured
by the fair managers.
The situation nas undoubtedly grown

IN response TO letter apprising him Of the

follows.
:" believe tho success of the pending
campaign depends largely upon the efforts
of such clubs as that which has been
started nc your home. There Is sometimes
a lack of effectiveness in such organiza-
tions arising out Of failure to mako them
working clubs. Their purpose should DO
not merely 10 bring about the ASSOCIATION
OF those already we'll grounded in the
Democratic faith, but to draw IN new con-
yerts and to FIX those who are
wavering in their political prefer
ences. Every member OF such club
should. l think. consider himself O COM
mittee Of one TO bring Within the influence
OF the club some person whose vote could
not otherwise be secured to the Demo-
cratic cause. I fully believe. however, that

tons and will not DO wanting in any branch

u
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 30.--The Memphis
Passenger ASSOCIATION 10 on the verge Of
disruption. The long threatened rate war
between the railroads centerlng here has
broken out at last, and as a consequence
east-bOund passenger rates have gone all
to pieces. HOsthtles, ii IS claimed, Wero
precipitated by the Kansas City, Memphis
and Birmingham railroad, which kicked
clear out of the association and issued or
ders 10 its agents TO sell tickets 70
eastern points at rates 70 bring JOY TO the
public and grief to the stockholders. The
trouble was all caused by the rate war,
which has existed for some time between
Cincinnati and the East. The Louisville
and Nashville and the Chesapeake and
Ohio were reaping q harvest by selling
tickets to Cincinnati at full rates, while
passengers would take advantage OF the
low rates to eastern points. This took a
great deal of business away from the
Birmingham route, and the Memphis
and Charleston, which asked the
association for PERMISSION 70 meet
the cuts. Their petitions were re-
fused, whereupon the Birmingham
route Withdrew and made rates on IT'S own
account. The Memphis and Charleston
also commenced cutting, and as result
war has been declared. IL 10 understood
that the Louisville aud Nashville and the
Chesapeake and Ohio will also Join IN the
fracas and make rates still lower. The war,
If it is not settled at once, viii spread TO
New Orleans and other points. The Hill
nols Central is also getting ready to enter
the contest.
