moments, yielding the visitors runs that

other side made errors too, and in point
OF fact the best professional clubs in the
country do not average one errorless

failure of the local team TO win s few

In their failure to hit safely when safe

The visitors took part in the scoring

McGowan's hit to Clark forced Foster at

In the third the visitors obtained
their last run. Groves was hit by q

WASHINGTON. May IA phase OF
the important pending question be-.
tween England and Venezuela. in
which the United States has INTERVIEWED
to ask arbitration is involved In the de-
mand of the State Departments for the
resignation Of Minister, Hazelton on seri-
GUS charges by Admiral Meade. Min
ister Hazelton regards the charges ss
inspired oy pique and as an evidence of
TINS, he cites the political representa-
tons OF direct character, by which, he
says. Admiral Meade sought to imnress
the Venezuelan government and public
that the visit Oh the United States
squadron was something more than q
courtesy, and involved political assur-
ances that the United States was about
to lend the strength of its NAVY TO
maintain Venezuela against Great
Britain. The minister saws this i'm
preston characterized all the admiral,s
actions while the United States feet
was In Venezuelan waters. It was 40
marked as to attract tho notice OF Vene.
zuels.
The government ofll;Ials who were
well informed on tho pacific character
Oh the visit were surprised that the i'm -
p:esslon should be given that there was
political significance in the visit Mr..
Hazleton says this course aroused a
decided feeling OF disapproval among
governments authorities. They did not.
he says. care TO be patronizsd, when az
they understood the facts, the visit of
the fleet was an incident to It's being in
Southern waters, and WAS not intended
as an evidence of the position of tho
United States on the international uues-
ton involved.
The minister to-day referred to Ad-
miral Meade's address as something
moro than an expression of usual off .
cial coursesies, and declared that 1t
conveyed this general impression that
the United States sailors were there as
an evidence OF the political policy Of
the United States.
Ii was stated at the White House to-.
day that the action taken In the case of
Minister Hazleton, of Venezuela, would
not be rescinded, and that Mr.. Hazleton
would not return to Venezuela as minis

Random Sketches OF Her Interesting
Ways.

lcoPYRIoBT, 1881
NEW WORKERS are using cooked ba-
nanas more and more. One Of the IA
nous specialties of the Manhattan club
is fried bananas; they fry them there
as doughnuts are fried, by dropping
them into vessel of boiling fat. They
are excellent treated In this way, but
the method is troublesome and expen-
sive. Baked bananas are much easier
obtained and are really better than
any other form of the cooked fruit.
Just the wrong way to bake them is
frequently followed; that is, they are
taken out Of the skins; then it is neces-
sary to put wine or lemon and sugar on
them to give them flavor, but If they
are baked In their jackets they have a
delightful acid of their own, and eaten
with cream and sugar are delicious
dish and are very nourishing. The
fruit should be well ripened and the
oven fairly hot. Ten or twelve minutes
will usually suffice to cook them. They
should be softened all through when
done.

Immense Quantities of Grain Carried by

To watch the loading of grain, either
from All elevator or lighter, into one
of the mammoth vessels engaged in its
transportation, is to witness one of the
chief operations in the movements of
the worlds commerce. II is carried in
long pipes, with funnel-shaped nova
BILE appendage at the end, which is
shifted by means of "a rope from one
part of the hold to another, according
as the stream of grain fills up the
spaces reserved for it. The grain
flows into the vessel with the noise and

volume of dust and chaff upward, OBJ

ute. In vessels of the Cunard stripe it
takes between twelve thousand and
fifteen thousand bushels to fill hold,
and these vessels average fifty thou
sand bushels in the total cargo. Ships
carrying grain alone can take as high
as one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand bushels, and when it is considered
that from four thousand to seven thou
sand bushels can be stored in an hour,
every forty bushels Weighing ton, an
idea can be had of the force of the tor
rent directed into the vessel.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and a distinction is made in storing
the cargo in them. Grain, from its
compact and dead weight, is reserved
mostly for the center of the vessel,
while cured provisions are packed as
far forward and as far aft as possible,
