SENATOR FRYE's REASONS.

Washington, December 16.-The several
applicants for the position of United
States district attorney for the federal
district of Maine have by this time re-
ceiyed letter from Senator Frye, giving
his reasons for naming Mr.. Dyer for that
Office. The letter states in full the circum-
stances and reads: my Dear Sir: There
W. re several applicants for the position
o district attorney for the state of Maine,
all, believe. personal friends Of mine,
for no one of whom l had any preference.
The office is semi judicial in its character,
calls for a knowledge of the law and
familiarity with the proceedings in court.
Whilst my acquaintance with the older
members of the bar would enable me to
determine readily their relative merits, I
had no such familiarity with the young
er. Under these circumstances it seemed
to me that there was but one thing for
me to do, and that was to accept practical
1y the Judgment of the bar of Maine. The
several applicants were notified that such
was my intention.
An examination of the papers. which l
have received, shows that Mr.. Isaac W.
Dyer has the support by petition and let
ter of more than two-thirds of the
practicing lawyers of the state. He Is
recommended by a majority of the bars OF
every county In the state, except one; by
nearly. If not quite, all the judges of
probate, county attorneys and presidents
or the bar associations In the state. He
also has the support of the governor, and
every member of the executive council:
also favorable letters from every member
OF the Republican state COMMITTEES, except
one, and from very many Others whom it
is unnecessary to mention.
1 must, therefore, recommend to the
President the appointment of Isaac W.
Dyer to the office of district attorney; and
If, in doing SO, / u axe any mistake, the
responsibility must rest with the intelli-
gent bar of Maine.

ing much more careful training and
practice. The rushing was scientific
from start to finish; less batting of the
ball was dor e, and the short, swift
passes and exc client team work on both
sides, brought down cheer upon cheer
The game isl certainly great success
as an exercise ind there Is no roughness
possible. The perspiration was started
last night on the most seasoned of the
athletes and he five minutes stiff plsy
is good brea ther for any man. The
only criticism of moment which might
be made is that If the ball was painted
white or souse light color it might be
more easily followed by the spectators.
At times the ball is lost to the view of
not the audie nee alone, but of the play
ers themselves. .snd a much greater chance
for science on the part of the latter
would be.possible could the ball be kept
constantly in sight.
Next week thes o teams will play public
ly at the Casino and much interest is
being felt regarding the exhibition.
Each team has won one game at present
and this public contest will be hard
fought one. The regulars are much
younger and lighter men than the picked
team, but have had the advantage of
Prof. Lees coaching, and will put up a
stiff article OF polo.

follows:

keeper of saloon at the corner of Michi-

Police Court yesterday morning on the
charges of profanity and resisting an off,
Ger. The offense of resisting an officer was
a most aggravated one, according TO the
officers who made the arrest and their evil

that the punishment should have been
made so light by the court Davis was on
the police force for several years and had
opportunity TO understand from a personal
experience the Importance of obedience to
an officer of the law. Sunday night Pa
trolmen Cronin and Rinker passed the sa-
loon and noticed that the blinds were drawn
in a way to constitute violation of the
Nicholson law. They went TO Davis's
house and awoke him, advising him to low
er the blinds. Davis did so. Monday night
the officers went into the saloon 1t is a
place frequented by negroes and low char
acters. and the police find it advisable to
go into the place every night. When they
entered Monday night Davis abused them
roundly for disturbing him Sunday night

law be obeyed. Davis called Cronin a
name anu lItll INlIheT lOlQ pdNlS Indt he
ought TO be thankful that he was not ar

at Rinker and then dashed the glass at
him, at the same time cursing the patrol

fought the patrolmen.

Rates to Nevada.

There may be a good-siZed fuss in the
ranks of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton over the rates to the big prize fight
in Nevada. The association proper has re-
fused TO grant any low rates, but two roads
have declared that they will take independ-
ent action and put in rate which will
approximate one fare for the round trip
from the Missouri river. Several other
roads are against the idea of making any
low rates at all and they are bringing
strong pressure to bear on the roads which
favor the low rates to have them alter their
decision. 1t is likely that the matter will
have to come before the next regular meet
ing of the association before il is settled.
The roads which have declared themselves
in favor of the low rate have not yet
