Make an Explanation About the Recent W.
and l.. Game.


UNIVERSITY or VIRGINIA, May 10th.
Editor of the Times:
You will oblige the University Of Virginia
baseball team and students if you will pub
lish the following so as 10 right us in the eye
Of the baseball world. In the first place,
when the game was given TO Washington Tod
Lee by their own umpire. the field was fun
of spectators, who swarmed over
the diamond. and even had Mr. iiar-
Der. the Washington and Lee umpire. ordered
our team through Captain Smith 10 pay
ball which he certainly did not do, as Cap
tain iSmith himself says. We could not have
done il on account of the crowd on the dia-
mond. The Washington and Lee show their
ignorance OF rules when they say Mcclure
was allowed the privilege OF the diamond.
Rule 30 distinctly states that any PLAYER
of either side in uniform has a right
10 coach his team. which was McGuire's
case exactly The Washington and Lee
knew that Lipop was crippled and that we
had no other pitcher 10 put IN the box, and
that is the reason they are 50 anxious 10 play
now instead OF III June. The Narsltes
neither refused 10 play ball nor resorted 20
dllatOry tactics, which has 10 be done 10
have a game forfeited. This is the substance
of rule 2G. sections 2. 3. 4. How 1t got out
that the team Of Washington and Lee was IA
the bus and twO-thlrds of the crowd had lett
the grounds is a mystery to every one, as we
are certain that no Washington and Lee man
would be dishonorabe enough TO circulate
such report. Captain Smith signihed his
willingness 10 play the game before any ono
had lett the field IL IS ridiculous 20 think
that with one out and two men on bases we
would refuse 10 play ball, aud when the
Washington and Lee had their weakest bat
tiers at bat next inning. BY Lipops only
striking out seven men and Becselman SIX
teen il shows we played better ball.

TIE fight which has been going on in the

dashed the Atlantic Constitution down from

paper has been one of the most rantankerous

CATION elected from Atlanta Saturday TO the
State Convention was largely for Cleveland
Aud although the Hill factions proposed a
compromise so as to allow Hill minority re-
presentation. the Cleveland men persistently
refused. and insisted upon the rule of the
majority. The delegation from Georgia's
capital will therefore be solid for Cleveland.
and as in Virginia. the STATE Convention
will be controlled by the Cleveland men.

TEE TIMES extends its congratulations 10
the young Mssourian who refused to contest
for a literary prize few days back at Yale
College with a negro. The reason given by
him WAS a perfectly satisfactory one-to wit
that he would be thereby accepting the negro
rs his social equal: that he would not do this
at his home. and he would not do away from
home what he would not do at home
We have refraned from commenting on
this case before in Difference TO that spirit
which deprecates offending our Yankee
neighbors But what we say is the real feel
ing and sentiment Of our people, and we be-
lieye true policy consists in expressing our
real sentiments and feelings on all proper oc-
casions, and since the Yankees have passed
the Chinese Exclusion act through Congress,
it hardly lies in their mouths to upbraid us
with our repugnance to negro social
equality. That act is based upon their preju-
dice against the Chinese. 1t is declaration
that thoy will not admit the Chinese to social
equality and intercourse with themselves. As
they adhere to and give effect to their race
preiudces in the case of the Chinese. 80 will
we in the case of the negro. What is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the gandor.
COMMENTING on the Democratic sentiment
in Virginia the Philadelphia Record says:
''There has been labored talk OF an anti leye-
land sentiment in the Democratic party in the
States Of Georgia and Virginia. AS the OPP
portunity for an expression of this sentiment
has been afforded from time TO time In
the choice of delegates to the Chica-
90 Convention it has not materialized.
Here and there among the Southern Demo-
Gratis there is a shrinking of Protectionists
who do not like Mr.. Cleveland for his honest
espousal of the cause OF tariff reform. If
these gentlemen and the soreheads who
are constitutional grumblers be left out OF
the count there is apparently no other oppo-
sition worth considering in either of these
staupch Democratic Comnonwealths

A CRISIS IN ITALT.
All the Mlnlstry Except Rudini Resigns
Owing 10 the Financial Troubles.


ROME. April 14.-The Ministerial crisis. which
has been pending for several weeks. has re-
suited in the resignation OF the entire italian
Ministry. excepting tho Premier. Marquis
Rudini. The King has accepted their resigna-
tions. and has charged the Marquis to form q
new Ministry.
The cause Of the difficulty is financial All
sorts OF plans to rescue the Treasury from its
difficulties have been suggested. 1t is said
that the Treasury has sold 2OO.OOO.OOO Of the
rentes which are or were held as security for
by four per cent. railway. obligations.
1t has become certain that the country could
not take up the 2O0.OO0OOO Of the new Treas
ury bonds. and altogether the. condition OF
the staRnntion Of ali affairs. public and private.
OF which the country complains. has shown
that the continuance for another year OF the
state Of things in which the affairs Of tho ma
and q solid ministerial position. would be
enough to make disaster definite
The immediate cause OF the Italian crisis
appears to be that the Minister OF War. Gen.
$4,000. 600 francs for repeating rifles and the
reorganization Of the artillery. Admiral Paco-
ret di San Bon. Minister OF the Navy. asked for
5000. 900 francs for fast cruisers. SO far us the
request from the navy Is concerned no attention
seems to have been paid to it: and only
fee. This sum 1t was proposed to raise by
4 either sp the ba
taxes should be levied to meet the. extra ex
penditure. This caused a division In the Cab
met and the retirement OF all but the Premier.
It is conceded that the Marquis Rudini has
nevertheless. that the task he has before him
Is q most difficult one.

VIENNA. April 14.-In compliance with an
ancient custom the Emperor Francis Joseph
to-day washed tho feet OF twelve poor men at
the imperial palace. This custom is in inlita-
tion Of the washing OF the feet OF the disciples
by Christ. and has been followed by the En-
perors OF the house Of Hapsburc from time
immemorial. The poor men are carefully So
lected from among the respectable and de-
serving. The poor men were brought before
the Emperor. who approached them in an
humble yet dignified manner. dipped some
water from a silver ever. and touched the feet
OF each one in succession. afterward applying
q towel also to each. This took place In the
Hall OF Ceremonies and in tho presence OF q
brilliant assembly OF members Of the imperial
house. and OF the nobility and Ministers.
Ihe twelve poor men were worry old. their
collective ages amounting to 1858 years.
With their snowy hair and boards and bent
and tottering. forms; they presented remark
able contrast to the glittering semtlaGe
around them.
After, the ceremony the Emperor presented
70 .ach OF the old men q purse containing
thirty pieces Of silver. accompanying the gift
by II few kindly words. Then the twelve poor
men retired and partook Of menl provided
for them. after which they were conveyed In
carriages to their homes. This ceremony
always touches the popular heart in Vienna,
and crowds watch on the streets for the old
men to pass. To-day loud cheers greeted
them as they were taken to their homes.
