that the river OF blood should cease 10

no longer turned against his brother.

THE "sUN" APOLOGIES.
RetractiOn of n Statement Rejecting
on the Associated Press

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE New York
"Sun." this morning. contains the follow
ing editorial statement:
"a Correction.-On February %. 1873,
the Sun published an editorial article
entitled The Work OF Rascals.' in which
certain severe structures were made upon
Mr.. Frank b. Noyes, Of the Washington
star We desire 10 correct our state
ment in reference to Mr.. Noyes, and 10
withdraw any remarks rejecting either
upon his personal or business integrity.
The article was written under misappre-
hension as to the facts in the case, and
we regret its publication in the Sun as
doing grave injustice 10 gentleman
whose character IS above reDroach."
The foregoing published apology and re-
traction follows the publication of an edi-
torial in the Sun" two years ago, in
tended as a serious reflection on the
Associated Press and it's management.
The gist Of the article was that the
Associated Press would Inevitably fail
in its purpose as a news organization
owing to the supposed disclosures there
in made. The statements and predic-
tions made have since been entirely dis
proved by the inexorable law of time,
as in the mean time the principles OF
that news organization have triumphed,
and have received the approval OF near
ly every daily newspaper in the United
States.
In the Sun editorial, Mr.. Frank Noyes,
one of the owners of the Washington
Star and a director of the Associated
Press, was singled out for personal at
tack, without any apparent motive
other than malice. II was at least so
held by the grand jury of the District
of Columbia, which returned indictments
for criminal libel against Mr.. Charles
A. Dana and Mr.. William NJ. Laffan
who were charged with originating and
publishing the libel. A writ was issued
by the United States Marshal for the
District Of Columbia for the arrest OF
the indicted men at New York city, and
for their deportation to Washington for
trial. This proposed action was con-
tested. under the habeas corpus act. and
after a hearing before the United States
Circuit Court Judge at New York city
the latter refused to extradite them. but
held. at the same time. that they would
be subject to trial IL found in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
AS soon as this ruling was given, Mr..
Noyes, through his counsel, General
Wager Swaine instituted an action for
libel i'm the United States Circuit Court
AZ New York city The testimony was
prepared, and the case was to have
come on for trial this week. but the
sun offered, instead Of going into court.
10 publish an adequate retraction, and
also to pay all costs Of the litigation,
which Il has done. and the above puD-
lished card follows The criminal in
dictments at Washington were quashed
yesterday.
This closes what has proven in some
respects the most remarkable and wide
ly-discussed newspaper litigation Of re-
cent years.

THE SPIDERS VICTORIOUS.
They Almost Shut the Columbian
University Lads Out.

The Richmond College Spiders and the
lads from the Columbian University, Of
washington. played at Broad-Street
Park yesterday, but the game was in no
sense exciting or interesting. Inc
Spiders outclassed the boys from the
national capital IN every respect. and
while they played good ball, the Column
bian lads played in an eXecraDie fashion'
making errors galore.
The Spiders had no trouble in connect
ing with the delivery OF Commings, the
Washington twirler of elongated frame
and slothful movements, and they bat
ted the ball all over the lot. Ellyson
was in to do the twirling for the college
lads and he was particularly effective,
holding them down to six scattered hits.
1t looked. until the ninth inning, as
If the Washing'onians would be
"skunked." but they pulled themselves
together in the ninth inning, and land
ing on Ellysons delivery more vicously
than at any other. point in the game
batted out three hits, which yielded one
run.
The Spiders fielding was Of an exceed
ingly high order, and their batting was
good. Altogether. they played an eX-
celent game, but their opponents spoiled
the interest there might have been in II.
Here's the score:
