GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

Our baseball sluggers got home from
Washington yesterday morning, and are
ready to tackle Manager Hsnlon and his
Orioles twice to-day The latter will arrive
early this morning, and Manager Hanlon,
who is here in advance of his team. says
that one of the two games must go to the
list of Baltimore victories. Manager Buck
enberger and Captain Burns are Just rs SAN
guine that our sluggers will get both OF the
games, and so the matter stands.
During a conversation last evening, Man
ager Buckenberger said: "When in Wash
ington, 1 had a long conversation with
President Young. He told me that accord
ing to the returns furnished him, Pittsburg
has so far this season had the largest at
tendance, except Boston, and this goes to
show that we have the best baseball city in
the League, because if our team were as
high up as the Boston team and the Bos-
tons were where we are, we would
certainly outdraw them. In speaking of
the game forfeited to US by the New York
team, President Young said that while he
WAS not in position 10 saw anything def
mite about the case, he emphatically ad-
vised me to never act with our team as did
course, that the forfeit will stand. Mr..
Young also said that Umpire Lynch made
wrong decision in giving forfeited game
to the Cleveland team because the ST. Louis
BrowDs did not arrive on the grounds in
time The Browns were unavoidably de-
layed."
Manager Hanlon also had something to
say about baseball matters. Ned is looking
well and fully expected to play in both
games to-day, but on Saturday his knee
again failed him. He has great hopes of
getting his team out of last place and says
that the greatest defect is the lack of con-
dition of Two or three players. This must
be remedied, he saws
If the weather is fine this morning and
afternoon large crowds are expected at both
games. The pitchers for the visitors will
be Cobb and Mcmahon and for the local
team Calvin and Baldwin

A TRUST THREATENED.
German Sugar Dealers, Boycotted by
the American Combine,
MAY INVADE THE PACIFIC COAST.
Not Pound of the European Product Now
Coming Here, Where
MILLIONS WHERE IMPORTED BEFORE

BERLIN, May 29.-Last year 1858, 500
worth of sugar was exported to America
from the consular jurisdiction of Berlin (in-
cluding the two great sugar centers, Ham,
burg and Madgeburg) during the quarter
ending March 81 During the correspond
ing quarter of this year not one pound Of
sugar was exported. One hundred thou
sand tons OF raw sugar are stored at Ham,
burg; an equal amount is held at Lubbock,
Stettin and in the manufacturing districts.
The German merchants and producers wish
to sell, but no buyer appears 1t is very
unusual situation, and many reasons have
been given for its existence.
From the statements of many of the lead
ing sugar dealers it was learned that the
American Sugar Trust is purposely keep
ing away from the German markets in order
to "bear" the raw products. The trust
hopes to buy the German stock of sugar
very cheaply in the end The GermBu mer
chants and producers, on the other hand,
hope and believe that the Americans will
eventually be forced to come into the mar
ket, and that in such an event prices will
rise rapidly. Should this prove to be the
case, then the price of refined sugar would
naturally go up in the United States.
Among the many opinions expressed that
of Carl Hager, editor of the leading organ
of the sugar producers, is significant. He
thinks it likely that the continued absence
of the American buyers from the German
market might be due to plan Of the trust
to depress the German markets. If such is
the case the German producers will meet the
American combination with trust of their

Office: and would not let pound 60 below
"a reasonable price. There is some little
talk of German capital starting reineries in
San Francisco and handling the Sandwich
Island sugar in opposition to the trust.

Though They Disclaim Any Zeal in the
Matter-Ths Doctor Points Out the
Strange Position in Which He Was
PIacrd-The Programme To-Day.
PORTLAND, ORE. May 29-With the
ending of the "Brggs case" the Presbyter-
ian Assembly comes to the question, How is
it regarded by those affected? The prose-
cution are jubilant because they have got
all they demanded. They will return to
New York to renew their work, though
they disclaim that they have any Zeal in
the matter The position of the conserva-
tive men is that of partial satisfaction,
some being dissatisfied because the case was
not brought to an absolute decision on the
spot.
In conversation, DIR. Briggs called atten-
tion to the anomalous position which he oc-
cupied in the appeal case. The real de-
tendant was the Presbytery Of New iork,
though for reasons entirely technical he
was compelled to appear and defend the ac-
tion which really damaged him. Being sec
ond "original party" in the case, he had to
resist the appeal which was brought by the
other "original party" although the appeal
was not against him nor anything which he
had done, but solely against the Presby-
tery's action. He expressed his desire that
the Presbytery should proceed with the
trial under sufficient charges and speci-
fcations, but to those which he had been
called to plead he had grave objections.
Expressing his own personal views,
prominent officer of the assembly said: ga
man who is accused of stealing chickens OBJ
jects to being tried for stealing a horse" p"
In the vote of yesterday Moderator Young
had no voice, being debarred by the consti-
tuition, but he expressed himself today as
satisfied with the action taken. The vote
to sustain the appeal was so large that the
general sentiment is that of satisfaction, but
those who for constitutional reasons voted
against the appeal in toto are preparing a
formal protest, which will be largely signed
and will be entered upon the minutes.
The remaining business in the Briggs
case is only formal A resolution disposing
of the case will be offered early and it is
not expected that there will be much dis
cussion, but the wording of it is regarded as
important. and the interests of all parties
will be carefully guarded. The order for 10
o'clock is a supplementary report of the
Theological Seminaries Committee. 1t is
almost identical with the report submitted
some days ago, and will scarcely be condu-
Give of the harmony which was desired. 1t
is alleged to be self-contradictory in its
proposals, and will be assailed on this
ground. The rest of the business session
will be hurried through because of grow
ing desire of the commissioners to return to
their homes.

EMIN's EXPEDITION IN HARD LUCK.
Smallpox and Famine Retard His March
Through African Forests

Smallpox and Famine Retard His March
Through African Forests.
BERLIN, May 29.-Details of Emin
Pasha's latest journey from Zanzibar to the
African interior, written BY DR.. Stuhlmann,
have been received here. The writer says
Emin desired to explore the primeval for
est rather than to return to Wadelai. Ow-
ing to lack of victuals the carriers were
compelled to retreat, and disease and fam
inc laid the expedition open to frequent ma
tive attacks Finally smallpox broke out,
and this last difficulty compelled Emin in
December to send Stuhlmann in vance
with the healthy members of the caravan.
Much valuable scientific and geographical
knowledge has been gained by the expedi-
ton. 1t appears to be certain that the
Mumbiro Mountains, which Stanley annexed
for England, are really west of the 30th
meridian, and, therefore, belong to the
Kongo State.

Nothing Further Definitely Known Of the
Alleged DR.. jackson Murder.
SEATTLE, WASH, May 29.-[ Special J.
The steamer Mexico has arrived here, hav-
ing left Sitka May IL. None of the officers
and passengers had heard anything of the
alleged murder of Sheldon Jackson. The
report of the murder was brought down on
the Danube by James Dean, Alaska's
Worlds Fair Commissioner. who got it
from Indians. They told him the murder
was committed three weeks ago, as de-
scribed in Yesterdays dispatches. Dean is
not man likely to make mistakes but pos
sibiy the Indians were telling him of the
killing of Missionary Charles II. Edwards
by smugglers in January.
DR.. jackson sailed May 13, from Port
Townsend, on the cutter Bear, for Oun
alaska, and even if the Bear left Jackson
at Juneau he could not have arrived there
before May Is, and there is no reason to
believe he did not 60 directly to'Ounalsska.
Malcolm Campbell, the whisky smIggler
charged with the murder of Charles H.
Edwards was not indicted by the grand
Jury at Juneau. Campbell had the infu-
ence of the whisky element and secured
his release with little difficulty.

THE PARIsIAN VIEW OF IT.
A French Protestant Preacher Sees No
Harm in Sunday Fair Opening.

Harm in Sunday Fair Opening.
PARIS, May 29-The agitation in Amer
lea against the opening of the Worlds Fair
on Sundays attracts considerable attention
here. Senator Dide, Protestant clergy
man, spoke as follows on the subject to a
reporter:
On theological grounds, 1 do not think that
opposition can be made to opening of ex-
hibitions in general. Local considerations
however, may make it preferable that the
Chicago Exhibition be closed on Sundays.
If the majority of pious citizens are scan
daliZed by the opening of the Fair on Sun
day, it certainly ought not to be opened that
day.. Speaking as European, who has
studied both theology and political econ
omy, point out that on Sunday the work
ing classes, free from labor, can visit the
Fair without loss of money. Sunday OPEN
ing is not really opposed to piety.
Mr.. Pratt, Special Commissioner from
the Shah of Persia to the Worlds Fair, has
arrived here on his way to Chicago. He
reports that lively interest is taken in
P ersia in the Chicago exhibition.
