II am in receipt of yours Of recent
date, enclosing a petition from your

senting the petition in the senate

Communication from Senator
John L. Mitchell, below reproduced,
was read and ordered placed on file:
II am in receipt of your letter Of
March 49, including a resolution of
the Trades Assembly of Superior,
urging the senate to pass law for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver In reply I wish to state
that the senate passed such a meas
ure on the LIST of February, as a
substitute for house bill 1904. The
house has, however, refused to con-
cur in the adoption of the substi-
tute. 1t is now perfectly clear
that such measure cannot pass
during this congress. The house
is against it by a large majority,
and the president would have
veto ready in case the house
yielded to the bill in it's present
shape. Yours truly,
IL. MITCHELL"

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.-The first of the &C.
rles of the three cricket matches arranged Boz
tween the Australians and Gentlemen Of Phila-
delphia was concluded to-day after three days
play. and resulted in a victory for the Austrae
lians by 1873 runs, each side having had Its full
two inninRs. The match was played on tho
grounds OF the Germantown Cricket Club. at
Mannheim. The next match. on Sept. 25. 20,
and %. will be played on tho Belmont Club
grounds. at Elmwood, and the match booked
for Oct. 2. 8, and will be played at Haverford,
ON the grounds of the Merton Club.
The weather to-day was delightfully."- bright
and cool. but the attendance did not exceed
$500. Play resumed at IL :55 o'clock. The
Australians had only one wicket TO fall In thelF
second innings. and Giffen and Kelly. tho not
outs OF Saturday. went to the bat. Kelly merely
held up his wicket, while Giffen did the hitting.
After tho latter had added IA TO his score he
lifted q short into the hands of Bowler Baily
and ended the innings for $50. With the 1872 Of
the first innings this gave to them q grand total
or 372.
The Philadelphians in their first innings had
scored 123 and thus required $50 runs to win
the match. 1t was not expected by the local
admirers, nor by the players themselves. that
this large score could be made but when Patter-
son and Noble. the first batters began to roll tho
score upward there were many who became
hopeful that they might at least ap-
proach the double century. When forty
three was reached Noble raised q high
one of Trott's bowling, which Hill caught
near the ropes, Noble retiring with
well-earned 81. Play was then suspended for
luncheon. A1terward Pattersons stumps were
upset by one of Trott's slow ones Biddle fol-
lowed. He had barely settled himself at the
wicket when another Of Trott's slow breakers
went through his stumps. few moments
later Bohlen. who had scored only three. raised
one to deep square leg which was caught by
Gregory. This was four wickets down for =
total OF 81.
1t now began to look as II. with Trott's decep-
tive slow ball and Citizens speedy work. tho
hundred point would not be reached. This feel
ing became more and more prevalent as the
new batters came up and quickly retired with
very small additions to the teams total, tho
eighth wicket going down for seventy three
runs. Clark. however, was an exception to tho
rule. and although he was fifth to bat he held
his position to the end and carried mis- bat out
for thrty-ive. Clark, for a brief period. re-
ceived some assistance from Cregar. and the
pair raised the score from 73 to Ill. when Gre
gar was caught by Trumble of the latter's own
bowling. Browns five and the seven extras
brought the score to 1876.
The general play of the Australians far
superior to that of the local men, and had they
been pushed to greater exertion there is no doubt
there would have been a wider difference in the
total Of the two teams. The score follows:

Commissioners for 1897. 10 81. 900. The special
committee OF the Board of Aldermen. while re-
visinG the budget. decided that s.. 900 would be
an ample amount TO run the Civil Service Com
mission for another year. In their protest
against the proposed reduction the Commits
sioners said that 1t was evidently the inten-

that no civil service examinations could be held
and the spoils system restored.
