rRrssrA's COUNCIL OF STATE.
The Kaiser Closes the Session with
Speech.


Berlin. March 2--The emperor closed
the sittings OF the Prussian council of
state to-day. In his speech declaring the
session at an end, the kaiser said: After
eight days Of hard work and discussion
we terminate our debates. It is not likely
that the results achieved will be satisfac-
tory everywhere, yet the government has
its task set and will use all means to find
remedies for the agricultural distress
which prevails. The debates Of the coun-
ell have shown clearly what is possible TO
be obtained in this direction, and the ma
terials collected from a valuable basis
for further measures. The government
would not hesitate to eliminate the pro-
posals you have found impracticable and
I beg you to exert your influence so that
the people shall first appeal to my gov
ernment for aid, redress and improvement
before their minds are excited by agita-
ton. 1t is my intention when such appeals
are made, to summon Immediately the
council to discuss these complaints, when
the government win forthwith legislate
upon your recommendations.
The council rejected Count Kanitz's
grain monopoly proposal on the ground
that II was inconsistent with the pres
ent position OF the state In the matter of
production, trade and traffic A system Of
state MANAGEMENT of the granite trade. It
was held, would be a source of the great
est discomfort and damaging to the life OF
the state; moreover, other branches
could Justly demand similar monopolistic
treatment. The council recommends pro-
lection of the, sugar and spirit produc-
tion and favors bimetallism and a large
rural credit system.

ON THE DIAnOND

A good, big crowd OF the old-time base
ball fans was out yesterday afternoon to
watch what turned out to be the best
game that has been played on the local
diamond In long time. The snap and
ginger of the game were worthy of any
amount of enthusiasm, and the spectators
were not far behind in keeping the play
ers up 10 the striking point. McKibben,
for the home team, made catch OF o
long fly that made the bleachers roar
their approval, and Mcbride of the visit
ing team brought the crowd with him on
one OF his famous scoops. The fielding
was very near the phenom anal order, not
Q single error being made on either side

on the Jump all the time and not enough
to degenerate the game into a smuggling

not sending a single man to first on balls,
while Fisher showed up we'll, and barr
ing q slight let-up in the seventh inning,

other game.

it again. Mertes and Becker both reached

been the papa Of three runs. TINS gave
the game to Flynn's young gentlemen.

differences, but they could only get one
more run. which they corralled in their
half of the seventh inning.

Twenty-Five Rounds

II to Como OF at Brooklyn This Evening.
Twenty-Five Rounds
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Tomorrow
night at the arena Of the EN- pire Ath-
lesio club the -talked-of mill be-
tween O'Donnell and Maher will take
place. This contest has excited general
interest throughout the country, and
nearly every sporting man of promi-
hence has come to New York to witness
the battle. Maher and o 'Donnell will
probably put up het and closely con-
tested fight the men being very equally
matched and both in splendid condition.
They are regarded by experts as two OF
the best heavy weights now before the
public, being Olassed as second only. to
gent, including Jim Corbett and his CO.
ttrie OF trainers, are firm believers in
O'Donnell's ability to get the decision,
yet In spite Of the talents opinion the
general public and followers of pugilistio
events pin their faith to Maher, and he
is slight favorite IN the betting.
In the twenty-five rounds that the men
are scheduled to box. many believe that
q decisive victory will be had by one OF
the contestants. 1t is not likely to b. a
draw, for the fighting will be fast and flu
rious from the start, and of such kind
as to make a decisive result certain.
O'Donnell has been quietly tipped Ms a
greatly improved man. A claim is made
that he is but shade less clever than
Corhett and Is good stiff puncher.
Peters admirers say he will be doing
some terrible swinging. all the time, and
good land with his right will more than
offset half dozen Jabs of O'Donnell's.
There is no denying the fact that Maher
is wonderfully improved man also. One
OF the best judges in New York said Ma.
her had i'm proved moro than any fighter
he had ever seen in the same length Of
time. Maher. be thought, would be IN
the nature Of u sur rise. Notwithstanding

ability, and 70 looked to see him settle
his opponent long before twenty five
rounds had been fought.
