The most exciting game OF bali
played at Platteville this season took
place on Friday last between the fat
and lean business men of our city.
The game was called at $50 and
after the usual baseball preliminaries
the game was commenced with the
heavy weights at the bat. +. b.
Smith led off with a hit to Prof. Berri-
gan; Prof. failed to make proper con-
nections and +. b. was allowed to get
to lst and scored on passed balls.
The next three men struck out in or
der. The light weights did some good
batting and scored three runs. Bar
den did the best work at the bat by
getting a three Dagger.
No runs were made in the second
inning.
Wilson was caught mapping by NJ.
Bishop on second. DR.. Gasser would
have done himself proud had he turn
ed to the right instead of the left after
running to first. Dr's language was
eNcusable under the circumstances.
DR.. made a good hit and his mistake
was easily overlooked.
The fats made no runs in the third
inning. Rev. Troy was hit by the
ball and retaliated by throwing the
bat at the pitcher. Had we not been
well acquainted with the Rev. we
might have thought he meant to do
the pitcher harm.
The leans scored in the third but
made one safe hit. The fats braced
in fourth and made three singles and
scored three runs. The leans made
three rnns. The leans made two runs
in the 18th inning.
Things began to look doubtful now
for the corpulent, but they seemed to
be confident OF victory even at this
stage Of the game. The first man 10
bat hunted and was put out al lst.
the second man struck out. GruDdv
took his base on balls. Webster fol-
lowed With a single. Nj. Bishop was
at the bat and with two men on bases
he had the game where it depended
on him but as the balls were thrown
the umpire called, strike one, strike
two. batter out.
The game consisted of five innings
and taking into consideration that
there were but three errors, made us
think that it was the best game of the
season. A large and enthusiastic
crowd attended the game. Another
challenge has been given TO the leans
by the fats for another game some
day in the near future.

ApvIcEs FROM JAPAN.
Train Bringing Disable Soldiers from
China Is Wrecked.

Victoria, b. c.. Aug. 12.-Japanese ad-
vices to July rs received by the steam
ship Warrimoo are as follows: Many
calamities are reported. the most Sc
rious of which was the overthrow of a
railway train bringing disabled soldiers
from Hiroshima north for hospital
treatment. The force of the tempest
was such that thirteen cars. together
with the engine, were blown from a
eauseway into a deep inlet of the in
land sea. 1t is stated that 1870 passen-
gers were killed or fatally injured, but
hopes are entertained hat these first
accounts may prove to be exaggerated.
A corps of surgeons was dispatched
from Hiroshima TO the scene by the
emperor's order and 500 yen were sent
by express to relieve the immediate
wants of the sufferers.

Two More Victories.

The game Of ball between Lanca,
ter and Georgetown in P~latteylle last
Friday was a disappointment. The
Lancaster team played ball but the
Georgetown club PLAYED horse. No
body knows how many TALES the

er could count only up to thirty. He
reached his limit when the game was
about half out, and how many runs
were made after that is a matter Of
conjecture.
The u~nfortunates made three tall
lies near the close OF the game,
The game between Oregon and Lam
caster last Tuesday was fairly good.
The core was II TO u in favor of
Lancaster. Out of thirteen games

LAW NOT VIOLATED.
Commissioner Stump Says But Few Jap
anese Are Coming to This Country.

Commissioner Stump Says But Few Jap
anese Are Coming to This Country.
Washington, Oct. "a - Commits
sioner- General Stump, of the immigra-
tion bureau, has reported to the secre-
tary of the treasury the results of an
investigation recently made by him in
person of the allegation that Japanese
were imported into this country under
contract in violation of the alien-con-
tract-labor law. The commissioner
general visited all the ports in the
Northwest at which japanese could
enter the United States on the Pacific
coast, and, after the examination of all
the facts. he finds no reason to fear an
influx of Japanese, and the statement
that numbers of them have been i'm
properly admitted, he says, is untrue
and without foundation. He finds
that it is not the policy of the Japan
ese government to encourage emigra-
ton, and that Japan causes each per-
son leaving the country to be supplied
with passport, which is only furnish
ed those having ample means to reach
their destination. The census of 1890
showed that at that time there were
2,039 japanese in the country, and it
is the opinion of the commissioner that
this number has not been materially
increased. The arrival of japanese at
all ports in 1894 is stated to have been
1881, and during the last fiscal year
1,150, decrease for the year of ISL.
The number of japanese who arrived
at San Francisco during the last half
of the fiscal year is given at 329. At
Vancouver, the arrivals for the same
period amounted to 3S4.

President Cleveland and Party Reach
Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 24.-For the
present, at least, the seat of the govern
ment of the United States may be said
to have been transferred to Atlanta,
for the city harbors tonight the presi-
dent, vice-president, and six members
OF the cabinet, not to mention Treas
urer Jordan, Governor Coffin, of Con-
necticut, Governor O'Ferrall, of Vir-
ginia, Governor Stone, of Mississippi,
and long list of other dignitaries Of
officialdom.
Fifteen minutes after A this after
noon, the presidential train rolled into
the union depot. III accordance with
the wish of the president, and the de-
sire of the exposition officials, the arri-
val Of the party was deprived of any
thing in the nature of hippodrome.
Ten thousand people had assembled in
the vicinity of the station, crowding
the streets as closely as the space al
lowed, and overfowing for blocks in
every direction. The roofs, windows,
awnings, telegraph poles and every
PNAh" "a FoheoSO LII bhO nClBuDOEuOOu
had been utilized by the eager oniook-
ers. The special was stopped outside
of the depot, however. The party dis
embarked and were escorted to carri-
ages by the reception committees and
driven to the Hotel Aragon, their des-
tination, before the expectant crowds
realized that the distinguished visitors
had reached the city. Nevertheless, as
the presidents carriage, drawn by four
white horses, dashed around the corner
of the station, the crowd recognized the
portly form of the president, and
mighty cheer went up, which grew
and developed into roar as the line of
carriages sped rapidly up Pryor street
through the mass of enthusiastic hu-
manitv
