There will be an important meeting Of
the din Hand circle at the reading
room, Thursday evening, September 10.
BY giving the notice now it is hoped that
every member can arrange to be present,
as very important business will be
brought before the meeting, which will
require the consideration of each mem Der.
Within the current month subscrip-
tions for magazines for the reading-room
must be renewed for the year 1885 and
all persons who would like to find any
periodical there which is not now on the
list are requested to leave the names with
the matron, in which case it will be con-
sidered by the board of managers.
During the few last weeks, three maya
zines have been taken from the table in
the reading room. Perhaps the person
who has thus helped himself intends to
return them and does not realize the
inconvenience to which he puts habitual
readers who are following continued arti-
Giles, but in case of a.repetition it will be
necessary to keep more careful watch OF
the tables, much as the Kings Daughters
dislike to think of this surveillance in
room which is intended solely for the
benefit of the public.
In this connection, attention Is called
to rule four of the regulations, which
says that 'no reading matter or any arti-
Gle shall be taken from the reading room
without the consent OF the .matron.n

BASE BALL GAME.
The base ball game in the afternoon
was well played. The contestants were
the Franklin and West Sullivan teams,
strengt hened by the addition of several
New England league and college players.
Sullivan had the best team in the field and
kildea was pitching a steady game, while
Bass, who was in the box for Franklin,
was very weakly supported in the field
Bass pitched fine game
Sullivan took a lead in the first .and got
in five runs, followed by one in the second
and five more i'll the third. Then Frank
lin began to work little and closed
its opponents out in five of the next
six innings.
The last run was made by Deadly, who
lined out three Dagger and was sacri-
iced in by Burrill. Franklin came down
Oh kildea for four runs in the seventh.
" hen O'Brien, Haywood, II. Webb and
Bass hit safely, all but Bass scoring. The
fourth run was made by Bunker

LONDON, Jan. 4, 1S95.-A despatch to

that Liu Kun iYi, the recently appointed
successor to LII Hung Chang in the
supreme command of the Chinese forces,
has postponed his departure for the
front for few days, pleading illness as
the cause of his delay. The fact is that
the new Commander-in-Chief shirks the
carrying out of plans for the further
prosecution of the war; and is scheming
to perfect an arrangement whereby he

ton on the part of Japan to receiving

STRONG rs A TERROR.
He Is Going on Corruption Hunt
in Every Department

NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 1851 am
going to investigate every department
of the city government from the top to
the bottom. If there is any corruption,
or if abuses exist anywhere, propose to
find it out"
Mayor Strong made this announcement
shortly after he reached his office this
morning. Continuing, the Mayor said:--
''As soon as my Commissioners of Ac-
counts are ready to go to work I shall
direct them to begin a thorough and
systematic investigation of the depart
ments. They have ample power under
the law, and I propose to see to it that
the investigations are complete"
The Mayor would not say that he had
any particular department in mind, or
had evidence of any corruption any,
where. His purpose was, he said, to
ascertain the exact condition of the city
government, and every department of
it Is to be examined.
Mayor Strong also said this morning.
and I shall not make any appointments
for the present"
The Mayor had another conference with
Corporation Counsel Clark this morn
ing, and they decided, it is understood,
to detail Assistant Corporation Counsel
Blandy to look after New York City
legislation in Albany for the present. Mr.
Blandy has done the work for several
years past.
