SEMINARY SUPERVISION.
The General Assembly Fnvors 1t by
49, to SS.

4os 10 SS.
Seminary control carried the day yester.
day in the Presbyterian general assembly
at Pittsburg. The report of the visiting
committee, which has been charged with
negotiations with the Presbyterian divin-
ity schools Of the United States looking to
the changes in their fundamental laws,
such as would bring their endowments and
their faculties under direct supervision of
the Presby Church was adopted
without modification by vote of ABB to
9S. after debate that eQualed in power
and burning interest any ever held in a
general assembly.
The report carries with 1t a recommended
ton that the seminary charters be changed
so as to give the church as represented by
the general assembly the standing of a
quasi-corporation having the power to APP
pear in the courts of the states and to
maintain proceedings to enforce the con-
troll over the teaching and funds of the
institutions. By this action Of the general
assembly the Presbyterian Church demon
strates its intention and it's power to claim
its own and to care for its own, whether
it be in the theological seminary or in the
mission boards.

Base Ball Notes.

The deal by which Eddie Burke of the
New York Base Ball Club was to have been
transferred to louisville is Off Louisville
made an offer for the left fielder, which
was accepted, and Burke was notified to
report at that place for duty yesterday.
Louisville withdrew the proposition yester-
day morning.
The suit of Pitcher Mark Baldwin of the
Pottsville club, formerly with Philadelphia,
against Chris Won der Abe of st. Louis, to
recover $4,000 for false arrest, has been
placed on trial at Pittsburg.
The most peculiar instance of the fight
now in progress for the championship of
the National League is that the western
teams are showing up stronger than usual.
New York Recorder. The western teams
are showing up stronger than usual for the
reason that they have been playing on
their own grounds. Then, too, all have mad
a chance early in the season at that good
thing-the Washingtons-and have thereby
increased their percentages.
Arthur Irwin seems to be as great fall-
ure as a manager at Philadelphia as he
was here. The club managers have made
him quit the coaching lines, where he lost
more games than the club could win. Yes
terday he completely lost his head and put
Pitcher Grady on third base instead of
Reilly. This started a comedy of errors
and 10 unearned runs were scored.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has the follow
ing 10 say ABOUT lnurSuay game between
the Senators and Cincinnatis: Larry Nc
Keen in his palmiest days and Frank Fore
man, who used to be slower than moral
law, were, when at their slowest, fast
pitchers in comparison with Malarkey.
There is no danger of this youngster ever
overlooking point from being in hurry.
The truth of the matter is that no club
in the country Is patronized by such fair
and impartial spectators as the Cincinnati
club. Cincinnati patrons never fall to give
credit where credit is due.-Cincinnati En-

The other League Games.
MAIL ME-. RATED HARD.
The Warriors Put In Three Pitchers
Without Avail.

The Post Office Department and the
Army and Navy clubs played a good game
at National Park yesterday, only five er-
rors being made altogether by both teams.
The heavy batting of the former :eam,
however. won the game. and SO these two
clubs change places in the record Of The
league in consequence of the defeat
McManaway did all the playing for the
soldiers and sailors while Sprgman and
Mckee played excellent ball for the mail
clerks. Sprigman also made six base hits
out of six times at the bat.
Three pitchers were tried by The Army
and Navy team, but none of them could
stem the tide of base hits. The game was
by far the best that has been played by
the teams in this league, and although the
attendance was small, the enthusiasm was
there and made up for the empty seats.
The game was started on time, and the
energy and snap that characterized the
work of both teams was refreshing. The

HARVARD DECLINES.
Cannot Deny Truth of Charges Against
YaIe's Foot Bail Players.

The correspondence between Harvard and
Yale relative to the arrangements of a
foot ball game next fall has been made
public. 1t consists of two letters. In Capt.
Thorn's letter to Capt. Brewer he states
that during the past four of five months
charges have been, made against the Yale
team that originated in one coming from
a Harvard coach" The only reply by
Yale was a denial on the part of the off,
Gals of the Springfield game Of the truth
of the charges, which reflected. not only
on the Yale team, but on the university
itself. He says it was possible for Har-
ward to have neutralized the serious effect
of these rumors by contradicting them,
and adds that unless such contradictions
are made the Yale team has decided not
to arrange another foot ball game with

The Florida Lynching Fake.

A Madison, Fla, dispatch says: AL
though two days have now passed since it
was first made public, nothing whatever
can be learned here to confirm the pre-
posterous story of the criminal assault and
murder of Miss Armstrong in Lafayette
county and the lynching of three negroes
charged with the deed. The whole story
probably is a fake. Two men living in the
neighborhood of the Armstrong; have just
come to this town and they know nothing
whatever of the alleged murder and lynch
ing.

the liver is torpid and sluggish and the

prompt use of this medicine has often
