THE LONDON PRESS
And Their Comments Upon the Republican
Preside ntai Nomination.

London. June 19.-The st. James Ga
zette in an article on the effect of the
possible election of Mckinley to the
Presidency, upon the relations between
Great Britain and the United States.
saws: 1T cannot be said that the Demo-
Gratis under Messrs. Cleveland and Olney
have shown too friendly spirit. but We
fear we must not hope for better things
from the Republicans. Jingoism is not
d monopoly of one party and we shall be
lucky if we escape further cases of differ
ence during Mckinley's regime. We shall
be lucky. too, if we succeed as speedily
as possible in arranging for the perma
nent arbitration of which the Marquis of
Salisbury spoke. yesterday" However.
the Gazette adds. Great Britain Is to be
congratulated upon the reasonable GER
tainty that if Mckinley is elected the
United States will continue to pay its OBJ
legations in honest money.
The Globe says: The outside world
would prefer the installation of a govern
ment pledged to both gold standard and
a moderate tariff. The paper adds that
President Cleveland might consolidate
under the gold Democrats of the nom
manufacturing states by proposing to
continue the existing tariff with slight
notifications.
The Westminster Gazette says: THE
protection policy to which the party is
committed will doubtless be injurious to
our trade as before. but for Il moment
there will be n sense of relief AT the fact
that the Republicans are against tam
pering with the currency.

Portland did noble work for us.
yesterday. Let US hope that IT
be duplicated, today. If Fall River and
Pawtucket can only be made to drop
three or four games in the near future
the situation will be more interesting.
= Talk about hot stuff; they are
getting a pretty torrid article of ball
at Augusta these days, and the extra
run is on the right end, too. By the
way. the large number of games won
and lost by the Augustus by one run
this season is nothing short of remark
able.
Brockton Enterprise: AS for Mana
ger Burnham, has he, too, fallen into
the habit of sitting on. the bench and
letting a man pitch victory into loss
without taking him out of the box?
A square defeat we don't mind. but the
dumb. silly, inexcusable way in which
we threw way sure victories to Augusta
in the last innings make us sore.
There's no need of it. and it handicaps
us where we're badly enough handi-
capped now. We're beaten at Bangor
both games probably before we enter
the town and we need both games at
Augusta.

against the respondent, and seemed
very confident that the boy under ar

thorough examination of the positive
witness. it was demonstrated from his
own testimony that he was the guilty
party and that the person charged was
entirely innocent. and he, accordingly
was discharged. The witness was at

ONE LITTLE ERROR
III II
Costs Us a Beautiful Game
With Pawtucket; 3to g.
All the Other Maine Teams Lost to
the Westerners.
Teddy, Augusta Will Cross Bats With Portland
n Portland.

One little error did It,
For six innings Pawtucket had not
acored and made but one hit,
while Augusta had two scores up.
In the seventh, Smith got gift of
hrst. Hannivan struck out. Whiting
hit a grounder to Captain Johnson,
who had O beautiful chance for a dou-
BILE play, but the ball was SO easy to
pick up that he lost it and both men
were safe. Beaumont singled, Smith
scoring. Then Conner threw down the
diamond. the play being to return to
the plate and catch the man there.
However, a play was made for Beau
mont, and while he was being run
down Whiting scored.
The little error cost us two runs
and the game. for Pawtucket made but
one run afterward and we made none.
Newell pitched mastery game,
Pawtucket making but five with a to-
tai Of six hits, and in but one inning
did they get more than one hit.
Pawtucket played an errorless field
ing game and put up a fast article.
Augusta played good ban, barring
the error mentioned and a dropped fly
by Connor, which gave Smith first in
the eighth, but cost no runs.
Joe Bean had but one chance, some
thing unusual His two-bagger was a
dandy, and his base running. when he
scored in the fifth was remarkable.
Johnson's work was seven of eight
chances, some of them being very
brilliant work His batting was very
heavy, four hits in five times up.
Butler is a star fielder, taking five
chances, all hard and making one phe
nomenal running catch. Pickett and
Hart had one chance each.
Kelly and Doherty took everything
that came their way. Conner caught
an excellent game.
Today. the team will go to Portland,
where 1t will play, Saturday and Mon
day. then going to Lewiston, Tuesday
and Wednesday. returning home for
six games with the other Maine clubs.
