TIE RECORD


BROOKLYN. .; WASHINGTON. ].
It was the washingtons' first appearance OF
the season at Eastern Park yesterday, and. while
the Senatorial aggregation were outbatted and
outhelded by the Brcoklyns, the visitors made a
good light and had an equal chance of carrying
OF the game until Shoch dashed across the plate
In several innings the Washingtons had oppor-
tunities to bring In q base runner. but the hits
which we're so badly needed were lacking:
Dunn, the ex-Toronto wonder, has reason to feel
proud over yesterday ; exhibition. for he pitched
o grand game in more ways than one. To hold
the Senators down to six hits in eleven innings
- not an everyday occurrence. and it must also
be taken into consideration that he only sent
one man TO frsL base on balls. Tho score

EMPEROR AS BUSY AS USUAL.

BERLIN, Dec 1S.-The past weeks
sittings of the reichstag were interest
ing The government throughout was
on the defensive, and Herren Bebel,
Richter, Lieber and other opposition
lists Haunted the fact in Prince Hohen-
lohe's face that he had broken his
word to the reichstag in not securing
for the workmen the right Of coalition
ard in failing to secure the right of
liberalization for political clubs. The
chancellor's replies were decidedly
lame.
Herr Richter's speeches, however,
were devoid of fire, while Herr Bebel's
were so impassionated that they forced
nearly the entire cabinet to reply.
Some of the admissions thus made are
valuable. For instance, such as the
statement of Gen. Won Gossler, the min
lister for war, who, on Tuesday, when
replying to Herr Ricketts, criticism
of the army, declared the government
did not propose to change the system
of two years service nor increase the
infantry, adding, however, that the
reorganization of the field artillery was
