I <A' 0ASChg "p'iAiSo 4AAN'~lf'SA' 1 Umpires--J. Mustarde of New Haven
 and Charles Williams of Ansonia, Ref
 eree-Henry Kaiser of Ansonia. | Bruce kicked off for the New Havens and for the first fifteen minutes the game was of a give and take nature, when the Thistles broke away and came near scoring. The ball was then by a fine piece of play carried by the Ansonia towards down the field, when from neat pass by Green to Wyre it was cleverly put through by the latter player amidst applause. During the remainder of the first period the New
 Havens tried hard to equalize but were
 unsuccessful, and the first half finished with the score standing, Ansonia goal, New Haven 0.
 Ten minutes after the second half of the game had been played the Anso- nias were again successful in scoring from a scrimmage in front of goal. This nettled the New Haven boys, who did their utmost to get on equal terms with their opponents, but luck seemed to be against them, and when the whistle sounded the game stood, Anso- mia goals New Haven o.
 The game was marked with hot plays, but the best of good nature prevailed.
 The visitors were taken to Gift & Da- wilson's restaurant, where, with the members of the home team, dinner was served, thirty-flve sitting down at the tables. During the afternoon the visitors were rendered a reception by the new Ansonia Athletic club just or ganized, at their hall on Liberty street The visitors remained in the city until early in the evening and said they never received better tteatment than that rendered them. there.
 The return game will be played in New Haven on Memorial day.
 NOTES ON THE GAME.
 The Thistle team made a very credit able appearance against their more ex- perienced opponents, and with a little more experience and practice ought to be able to turn the tables at the New Haven game on Memorial day.
 Had the Thistle forwards been as good in combination as the Ansonias the latter would have fared very bad in- deed in dribbling and passing. The New Haven boys have still & deal to learn. and only strict adherence ru these points at practice will make them per feet.
 The backs and half-backs played a splendid game, and but for their good work the score would undoubtedly have been much larger

BOSTON TEAM WON EASILY
EDGEWOOD CLUES FINE OPENING
 OF BASEBALL SEASON.

Played Two Games With the Strong Boston
 Team-Large Number of Spectators Pres
 ent-Many Fine Plays NIade-EdgewOods
 Showed Up We'll.
 The Edgewood Baseball club opened the season at their new grounds in Westville yesterday by playing two games with the strong Boston team of the National league. The local team put up 8 first class article of ball, and from the manner in which they played their first game it is safe to assume that there will be many good games.
 The games were played on the new grounds of the Edgewood club, which have been entirely resodded, enclosed by new fence and large new grand stand.
 The morning game was played in the presence of about 300 spectators and was much enjoyed by those present. The final score was 16 to 5 in favor of Bos- ton. The score by innings:
 Boston .......0 0 i 1 0-16 Edgewood .....0 2 o 2 0 o O. 5
 THE AFTERNOON GAME.
 About 2,5OO people witnessed the after noon game, when the Edgewoods were again defeated by the score of 10 to 4. The Edgewoods put up a good article of ball and kept the Bostons on the hustle after the first inning, allowing them to make but one run.
 In the first inning Cannon was batted out of the box, Corcoran taking his place and Cannon going into left field, where he retrieved himself by his eX- cellent fielding. Tn the eighth inning the home team was sent back to the field after three balls had been pitched.
 The best work of the game was done by Cameron, who played third base for the home team. He batted like fiend, every one of the chances offer ed him and his throwing to first was a revelation to the spectators, who were not looking for that style of play from the Edgewoods.
 Gannan also did good work in the field, catching a fly ball after a desper- ate run. But this play was eclipsed by the one which young Cameron made in the fourth inning. A fly ball was bat | ted high in the air. Cameron gave chase, stumbled and just as the ball was about to touch the ground jumped | up and grabbed it, thereby putting out | the side.
 The work of the Bostons could not be | first-class, especially as the | men were not in their correct positions | and seemed unacquainted with them. | who played first, kept the | crowd in good humor by his jolly ways | and seemed to put great deal of life in l the players
 For the first of the season the Edge woods put up first-class game, and | good accounts can be expected from hem this season. The other amateur cams of the city will have to work lard to wrest from the Edgewoods the | name of Best in New Haven"
 The afternoon game was characteriz- d by sharp fielding and hard hitting Among the special features of the game were the batting of Penney, who msde | home run and three base hit in one ming, and the all around playing of Iautenbach.
 The full score of the afternoon game blows;

Washington friends of Mr.. Waller are
bringing all the influence possible to bear
in his behalf upon the state department.
Senator Voorhees, has had one or two in
terviews with Secretary Gresham, and has
presented to him In a strong light the i'm
portance as we'll as the propriety Of the
United States investigating the question
of Walters treatment.
After seeing the secretary, Senator
Voorhees, said he had found Mr.. Gresham
quite as much Interested in the case as he
was, and disposed TO have it probed to the
bottom. The secretary stated that he had
already placed in the possession of Ambas-
sador Eustis all the facts that had come to
his knowledge and had given him instruc-
tions to thoroughly investigate the case
There can be no doubt that the Waller
incident will prove to be one of the most
difficult that this administration has had
to contend with in its treatment of for
eign affairs and this fact is fully re-
allied here The principles involved are
OF the utmost Importance, and should the
statements OF Walters friends be we'll
founded, the government of the United
States under no circumstance can cd
NIT the correctness Of tho action by the
French officials without thereby admit
ting its indisposition or inability to pro-

n IOtut Oh
An interesting question which has
arisen Mt this stage is what has become of
Mr.. Walters concession He had an abso-
lutte grant of about 200 miles of the most
valuable lands in Madagascar, abounding
in rubber trees and other tropical products,
which he had partially arranged to mar
kot. It is we'll known here that every ef-
fort had been made TO dispossess him by
other holders of concessions, who desired
to seize upon these lands.
But so far as the facts are known Mr..
Waller obtained this concession in a per-
fectly legitimate manner and his title
must be protected. Our government has
uniformly held, notably in the cases arls-
ing in Central America, that an Ameri.
can citizen cannot be dicpossessed of
concession, so long as he complies with its
terms, by any revolution in the govern
ment of the country where it may be sit
uated.
The rule Of international law is clear as
to the preservation of the individuals title
in such cases, and having laid down this
doctrine in our relations with the weaker
nations of this continent, the state depart
ment can scarcely do less than maintain
1t against France.
Inc Charges Against waller.
Tho details of the charge under which
Waller was convicted as a spy are: The
French soldiers had determined to make
descent on one of the large Hovas
towns. 1t was to be q night attack, and
was intended to be a decisive stroke. The
arrangements for the move were guarded
with the utmost secrecy.
In some way. however, Waller learned
Of the French movement, and is said to
have conveyed full Information to the
Hovas. The latter quickly armed the
threatened town. so that when the French
soldiers appeared, instead OF taking the
town by surprise, they found everyone
alert for the attack. The alleged treach.
cry was closely investigated and, jt is
claimed traced to Waller. Aside from
the chagrin to which the French forces
were put by having their plans miscarry,
II is said To have seriously retarded the
progress of the French expedition in Mad.

CHICAGO. April 22.-George G. Lowell,
for the past three yoars confidential book
keeper for the real estate firm OF Meade g.
Coe. is charged with embezzling $4,000
while he Is alleged TO have confessed that
he embezzed s56 600.
Lowell possessed the implicit confidence
OF his employers and had full control OF
the finances of the concern. Friday morn
ing. however, Mr.. Meade had occasion TO
look over the accounts and at once dis
covered that fictitious entries and false
balances had been made. Lowell was ac-
cused OF being short in his accounts, and
after some denials stated that he had lost
the money through speculation on the
board OF trade
An examination of the books disclosed
the fact that the first money taken was
about l5 months ago. and since that time
sums raging from $1,000 upward remained
unaceounted for upon the b. siness re-
cords. Lowell was 90 years old and un-
married. He apparently had no bad
habits and was not known TO be addicted
TO gambling in any form.
