Recent acts of congress in allowing En-

conditions, have brought this great
scheme of revolutionizing ocean travel to
its elimination.
Men of millions have been plotting and
planning for dozen years to make grand
coup de grace in ocean traffic. The pass
age to Europe is to be reduced very nearly
fifty hours. The promoters of this great
revolution in the transatlantic trade are
not visionary schemers, but moneyed and
practical men. They first secured the

last congress. This measure entities ships

This Year-The Brown Boys on for

The young gentleman by the name OF
Mr.. Taylor, who wore an Albany uniform
at Adelaide Park yesterday afternoon,
was altogether too much for the men with
gray uniforms and blue stockings. In
the second inning Leo Smith got hit and
so did Ryan in the fifth. That was the
sum and substance of the Grays' batting.
Taylor kept them all guessing, aud even
the old standby, Joe Hornung, made the
hearts of the cranks sad by striking out.
Taylor is youth, not yet out OF his
teens, but he is by long odds the best
pitcher seen here this year. He has great
speed and wonderful control OF the ball
His support, too, was excellent yesterday
and that is the story in nutshell OF the
Grays' first shut out.
the visitors won the game in the first
two innings. With one man out Brady
got hit and got around to third base
where he scored on Fields sacrifice. In
the second inning Murphy led of with q
cracking two-bagger. He went to third
on a sacrifice by Egan and scored the
second and last run OF the game on a hit
by Knox. After that it was all zeros for
both sides.
OF the Grays only two men saw second
base and neither of them reached the
third bag. Kilroy pitched a good game
and with the exception of Smith and
Freddy" Mack, his support was good.

nothing about its whereabouts. A new
bill had to be drawn up, and shortly after
this had been done the original substitute

its equally mysterious reappearance; as TO
to the other matter. he had 1t from good

assertion was greeted with sarcastic
laughter in which the spectators outside

THE 7. B. REED CLUB.
A Letter From ]. U. Starkweather
on the Selection of Delegates.

A rousing meeting of the Thomas b.
Reed Republican Club was held last night
in Republican headquarters, Weybosset
street. Joseph w. Henderson presided.
A resolution was adopted declaring that
no reflection was meant on George p.
Combeck by his removal from the Office
OF treasurer some time ago. and motion
to reinstate him was adopted.
Letters were read from prominent New
England colored men endorsing the pro-
posed convention Of New England colored
men. The committee on entertainments
recommended n pubic entertainment
next month and the recommendation was
adopted. A letter was received from j..
II. Starkweather explanatory of the aetiea
of the nominating committee at the Re
publican State Convention I'm refusing to
consider pc. ition and resolution referred
to 1t by the convention. The letter fol-
lows:
PROVIDENCE, r. l., May Q, 1892.
To the Erccutire Committee Of the T. B. Reed
Republican Club:
presented to the Republican convention on
the 9th inst. and which failed to receive
proper attention by that body, permit me TO
make the following explanation:
The convention appointed committee to
nominate delegates to the National Conven-
tion. was elected chairman of that commit
tee. Aitcr VIZ huu fctireu w tuc cohuiittce-
room for consultation, one of the newspaper
reporters knocked at the door and handed me
a roll of papers which he asked me too look
over. After we had made our nominations |
told the committee that this roll of papers had
been handed TO me, and told them would ex-
anime and read them. but the committee at once
said that we were only appointed to present
nominations and not to report resolutions.a and
the papers, which were not read, should be
handed back.
Lon returning from the committee room
therefore found the newspaper reporter and
returned them, for the first time learning that
mittee. II the party who handed them to us
had told us that fact we should have consid-
cred and reported on them, but we did not
know that they had been referred to us. IL
was our business to make nominations only,
as we supposed, 40 you must see that the fail
ure to report ON these resolutions was purely
accidental and not from any desire to with
hold them or In any way to slight the colored
voters.
Personally have the deepest interest in the
welfare OF the colored race. Within the past
markable progress which the world has ever
should consider 1t privilege as well as
duty to assist them in every way within my
power.
What appeared to you an intentional slight
was only the result of an accident which
trust my statement will make clear To you
and your friends.
Yours truly,
