ELLIOTT AGAINST FOSTER.
More Warm Words I'm Relation to
the Fur-SenI Matter.

CLEVELAND, o., August Professor
Henry w. Elliott read to-day an inter-
View IN New York with John w. Fos-
ter, the commissioner sent to England
to confer with Lord Salisbury relative
TO the Berirg Sea matter, and replied
hotly to Fosters intlmation regarding
the animus which actuafed Elliott In
writing his two recent letters. lie said:
80, Mr.. John W. Foster has nothing
to say IN answer 10 my direct charge
OF his telling the President an untruth
about myself Well, perhaps that is the
best thing for him 10 do. / happen to
have in my possession black and white
evidence that he has violated the Ninth
Commandment-'h has borne false wit
ness against his nelghbor.' Then, when
l call attention TO this fact. he talks
vaguely about my 'animus and my sta
tus.'
1.-THE American people have had glut
OF this absurd tomfoolery over fur seals.
and the prospect OF having 1t strung out
two or three years longer, under the lead
Of this incompetent man. is enough TO
sicken them. predict that they will not
stand the shame and imposition. / have
always been under the impression. and
am sui, tEdt HAu convicted OF bearing
false witness against his neighbor is
not a fit man for association with IN
the private or official life Of American
citizens.
There is more under this than can
or desire 10 mention at the present mo
ment This same anIa bic Mr. Hamlln
who is now associated with Foster, said
TO me in 1885,. that they Qhe Foster AS
sociation) told me that you had sold
your report TO the British. but. my dear
Mr. Elliott. you know that we have never
believed IT, I intend TO get proof OF
this action on the part OF Foster and
his associates. and then l shall add an
other Indictment. dsqualifying him from
running the State Department so as TO
discredit and iniure American interests
and defame American citizens"

Game Number Two.
Richmond had little difficulty in win
ming the second game. for Denny Long
put Cummings, an old field pitcher. who
tramped II down here from Lynch
burg, in to pitch. Cummings may have
thought he knew how TO pitch, but some
one had evidently been fooling him. for
he tossed the ball in n most reckless
manner. and in the five innings he re-
NAMED In the box he gave free passes
10 first base to ten men. This alone was
sufficient TO win the game, but the John
MES were not content TO circle the cor
ners in walk, and every now and then
| they got in hit, which increased their
score.
THE GAME A FARCE.
They really had no trouble in scoring.
Tor the game was farcical in the ex-
IRENE. Realizing that they could not
Win with such a pitcher, the Reading
boys made but little effort in that drec-
ton, and the Richmond players. having
no contest on their hands, did but little
themselves They won without half try
ing to do 80.

! master Of the situation, and had tho
Brownies az his mercy. lie had lots OF
speed and his same Old curves, and had
little difficulty in fooling tho visiting

During the first two innings Richmond
didn't score, but this was due entirely
TO their slothful work on tho bases. In
The third. however, they started their
work and Kain, leading off with dcY-
pie scored the first run Of the game.
In the fourth inning Cummings
gave away four bases, and this. together
with an error on the part Of Raymond
and hit made by Kahn, yielded Rich
mond three runs.
