RECORD OF THE LEAGUE CLUBS.
THE DE LESSEPS FREE.
Sentences on the Panama COnvtct3
Quashed at Paris.

Considerable excitement has been caused
at Paris by the decision by the Court Of Cas-
sation on the appeal of Charles de Lesseps
and the other defendants convicted Of fraud
in connection with the Panama Canal Com
pany The court handed down its decision
Quashing the sentences on the grounds that
the statute of limitations covered the offences
charged and that the Indictment on which
the prisoners were tried was irregular.
In consequence of this decision III. Eiffel
was at once liberated from prison. III. Charles
de Lesseps, who was in the st. Louis HOspi
tai. suffering with an acute attack of dys-
pepsia, was informed that he was at liberty,
but he was too ill to leave the hospital.
There were five defendants convicted on
the trial which ended on February 9Th last.
These were Ferdinand de Lesseps, his son
Charles. Marius Fontane, Henri Cottu and
Gustave Eiffel.
Ferdinand de Lesseps was sentenced TO
five years imprisonment and to pay fine of
$500. Ferdinand de Lesseps, who is very
old andil was not imprisoned, but the other
convicted men were taken TO Jail.
Thus ends one of the greatest criminal
cases France has ever known, in which the
names of men prominent in political and
social life were badly smirched, and which
caused one man, Baron de Reinach, to cCm-
nit suicide and two or three others to fee the
country.

THE NATIONAL GAME.


THE attendance is booming ct all the
cities
CATCHER ROBINSON now captains the Balti-

The pitcher is still too large factor in the
game.
THE Philadelphia are unable TO lat l>-t-
handed pitcher.
SrRATToS, of Louisville, depends almost
entirely on slow ball.
Ex-Governor CAMPBELL, of Ohio, Is an
enthusiast on the game.
CARTER, of Yale, holds the college record
for strike-outs this year.
DUFFY, of Boston, was the first League
player to make fifty hits.
IT looks as though Buffalo might take
LOulsvlile'S place next year.
THE New York Club has engaged Catcher
liligan. late OF Baltimore.
IN Boston they consider Louisville a much
stronger team than Chicago.

D. the widest pitchers in the League.

IS well now as he ever did in his career.

game in his life than he is playing to-day.

chers OF the League.

New York, is It. 900, the greatest of any base
O&ll field in the country.
THE Bostons lead the country in runs and
batting, Long in individual runs scored, Duffy
IN base hits, Merritt in batting.
THE New Yorks have been decidedly
strengthened by the accession of Baldwin,
who has been doing the best work of their
pitchers.
Nash, of Boston. who probably outclasses
2ny other third baseman in the League, goes
tor everything that comes his way, without
once thinking whether he is apt to, make an
error.
IN Parrot Chicago has third baseman to
be proud of. His phenomenal stops and
throws have attracted attention and admira-
ion in every city he has played in, and his
hitting, too, is equal to the best of them.
No player. with the exception OF Gillespie,
who won a game from Chicago some years
ago with a three-bagger, ever received such
an ovation after game as Herman did at
New York. when he won a ten-inning game
from Louisville by batting home run.
NOBODY has ever satisfactorily explained
why the umpire OF baseball game IS the
common enemy of the audience" no matter
where he goes or what he does. To the aver
age baseball spectator there is more enjoy
ment in Il foul tip collision with the person
OF the umpire than there is in the longest
home run lever made on those grounds"
The interest in the game has never been
greater all over the country than it is to-day.
Baseball is also increasing in popularity in
Canada and the West indies while regular
championships are being contested for in
England and Australia. Many people main
taIDSrd that the Englishman at home would
never adopt baseball on account of his love
for cricket But he has adopted the Amer
lean sport, and he likes it, too.

HAWAITS NATIONAL FLAG.
1t Now Floats Over the Palace in
Honolulu.

The Hawaiian National flag was foated
over the palace at Honolulu on June 2.
The formal occupation Of the palace by
the Provisional Government, and the raising
of the National emblem over it, are regarded
by the annexatiOnists generally and by many
OF the natives as a final blow to monarchy.
The building was formally dedicated to its
new uses on June with little ceremony in
which troops, Government band, and OFF,
Gals participated.
The Provisional Government on June
paid to Claus Spreckels the go, 900 owed to
him, and there is feeling of relief among
the officials that the Government is no
longer under obligations to him Spreckles
denies that he was actuated by a desire to
embarrass the Government by demanding
the return of his money.

disposition will be made of the medal has not

partment of State.
