FIVE TO SIX.

The ball game on Tuesday between
Vicksburg and Providence was the
prettiest ever seen here, aud the play
ing on both sides was splendid.
About the only errors being made was
done by the club from VicksburR.
when in the fifth inning IL looked
like they had gone to pieces on ac-
count of one or two wild throws.
The Vicksburg club was the first to
the bat and made three rms, and it
was thought that the Jig was, up for
the home boye; but after this inning it
was different, aud they only made
three more runs in the other eight
innings, which showed that Provi-
deuce was working hard. II the
pitcher had not been changed in the
last inning by the Vicksburg club
there is no doubt that Providence
would have won.
Vaughan Of the Vicksbnrg club
pitched a fine game. He is small, but
his delivery lie swift. Birdsong, who
pitched for Providence, was also good.

nine innings Both catchers we're
fine and did their work we'll But the
best playing of any must be given to
Hall of Providence, who made
wonderful catch of fly in left field.
He ran nearly twenty-five yards and

was satisfactory. Messrs. Mcguire

Crime Witnessed bya Man Who Quickly
 Saved the Infant.


 New York, April 22-By the merest chance a two-weeks- old baby which had been buried alive by a man and a woman-presumably the parents-was discovered to-day by Patrick McEvoy, laborer of Hastings, just in time to save it from death by suffocation. The child had been thrown into hole about three feet deep. A little cape worn by the baby had in some way fallen over the face. This kept away the earth and held the air for a moment.
 A man and woman who answer the description furnished by the babys rescuer, were arrested by the police of Yonkers, several miles away from Hastings, on trolley car. The man said he was Givori Duttacavolo, of Manhattan. He said he was married and had three children. The woman said she was Francisco Stinella, eight cen years old, a dressmaker, and un- married. She declined to say where she lived, but Roundsman Brady at police headquarters in Yopkers volunteered the information that she was niece of her companion. The woman denied that the baby was hers. She appeared very little concerned over her arrest.
 After being questioned by the police they were arraigned and turned over to tn chief of police of Hastings, who took the prisoners back to that place. In the mans possession was found lather's hatchet. It was covered with dirt. On the mans hands and under his nails was also sand and dirt.

Bishop Potter Says Itis Necessary to Get
 Rid of Political Corruptfon.

Nhu OI FOlltlcaA corruption.
 Cambridge, Mass, April 22.-"If the United States is to free itself from po- litical corruption the individual him. self must be purified" said Bishop Pot ter, of New York; in his lecture to the Harvard students in Sanders theater tonight.
 Legislation is valuable at all times, and I do not wish to say anything which may detract from its value The trouble in America is that the people are not frank enough. They lack moral courage. When they see things which need correction they have not the frank, open spirit which readily ac- knowledges vice. They let things slide along as they please, and rather than exert themselves they allow their towns and cities to become buried under load which cannot be shaken off. Their ex- cuse is that they are too busy.
 Tn this respect England is far above America Her people are more honest to themselves and to their country" After scoring the methods of New York charity Bishop Potter made an appeal to Harvard men to exert themselves after graduation in the interest of good government.

TO WITHDRAW FROM CHINA
TEN I'll o USAND FRENCH TROOPS TO
 LEAVE IN MAY.
Gen. voyron Notifies Gen. Chaffec-NIr. Rockhill, the American Commis- sioner, Believes Foreign Troops Can Now Commence to Depart With Safety A Clash With Gen. Liu will Prob ably be Avoided.

l Pekin, April 22.-GeneraI Voyron, the commander of the French troops in China, has informed General Chaf- I fec that 10000 French soldiers will leave China next month
 | It is the opinion of Mr. Rockhill, the American special commissioner, that the foreign troops may now commence leaving China with perfect safety; on
 the other hand, the announcement that 10000 French troops are to leave in
 May causes fear among the French res idents and this fear is greater among the French native converts to Chris tianity, who inform the priests that
 they are daily threatened with what
 will happen to them when the foreign
 CTS leave.
 The views of the foreign ministers on
 the withdrawal of the troops Is not
 shared by the great majority of the for
 eign residents. The ministers aver that
 some of these latter have business req
 sons and that others would have to
 vacate the fine buildings they are now
 occupying rent free when the troops
 go
 Lii Hung Chang believes that the Chinese troops, under General Liu, will be withdrawn over the boundary mark ing the territory defined by Field Mar shal von Waldersee, with the sphere of operations for the allies, as the governor of Shan Si province received telegraph instructions nearly a week ago order ing their withdrawal. The governor could have conveyed these orders to the troops in question by last Friday by the latest.
 The majority of the French and Ger man newspaper correspondents accom- panying the expedition directed against Gen-I.iu and which has been mobiliz ing at Pao Ting-Fu, returned to Pekin to-day, believing that the expedition would be called off.
 Hsi-Lang, formerly governor of the province of Shan Si, has been appointed governor of the province of Hupei. The foreign consuls at Hankow capital of the province of Hupei have protested this appointment to Chang -Chi-Tung, viceroy of Hankow, and have sent a telegram advising him to delay pro- ,eeing in the matter of Hsi Liang's ap- pointment
 The numerous appointments of China men with pronounced anti-foreign ten 1encies is causing comment at Pekin. | Even the foreign ministers admit that 50 many appointments of this charac- er are ill-advised, while the mission | aries and other civilians are alarmed ! 'or the future.

DELCASSE IN ST. ETERSB URG.
The Visit Evidently Not to be an Epoch
 making Event.

St. Petersburg, April 23.-M. Deicasse, inc French minister of foreign affairs, who arrived here to-day was greeted bv Marquis de Montebello, French ann ba assador to Russia, and M. Derevitsky, second councillor of the Russian for eign office. This fact sufficiently dis poses of the impression that Russia re- eards the journey as an epoch making event.
 No programme has been arranged, but it is understood that the usual courtesies will be accorded.
 Apparently the Russian official world is glad to see him, but does not regard the journey as essential to the stabili- ty of the Franco Russian alliance or to the transaction of current business. It is recalled that M. Delcasse's visit to Count Muravieff, former Russian ~nin- ister of foreign affairs, had no great re- suit.

TO KILL EUROPE'S RULERS
THE ALLEGED PLOT RECENTLY
 CONCOCTED BY ANARCHISTS.

An Order Issued in Berlin for the Arrest
 of RodoIf RomagnoIi-Informa
 Received by Officials That He Has Been
 Chosen to Kill the Emperor-Keportcd
 to Have Sailed from Buenos Ayrcs, March 27.
 Berlin, April 22-With reference to | the statements cabled from the United | States of plot said to have been con- | cocted against Emperor William and other European rulers by anarchists in Argentina and New Jersey, extreme | reticence is observed in official circles in Berlin.
 After careful investigation, however, a representative of the Associated Press ascertained in a reliable quarter that the Berlin police presidency issued an order April for the arrest, wherever caught, of the alleged anarchist Rodolf Romagnoli, alias Romanisco, alias Langwick Muller. The order simulta- neously requested all inland and for eign authorities to assist in apprehend- ing Romagnoli. Photographs of the alleged anarchist, with a. minute de- scription after the Bertillon method, were furnished for Identification.
 The information received by the Ber- lin authorities was that Romagnoli had been formally chosen by the alleged nest of conspirators in Paterson, N. J., to murder Emperor William. They were furthermore informed that he left North German Lloyd steamer Halle for Bremen. Whether this information is correct they have no means of know ing; but since portion of it came off, cially, they are inclined to give it cre- dence.
 Emperor William has been advised as to the situation and has issued strict orders to the president of the Berlin po- lice, Baron von Windheim, to keep him informed as to all similar views, but that under no condition is the matter to be brought to the attention of the empress.
 It is fact that for some months the Berlin police have kept a very close watch upon known anarchists in the city and an unusually careful surveil lance of arrivals known or suspected to be of anarchist affiliations. Antonio Porporello, who was here until a few days ago. fled to Bentheim, where he was arrested
 The Berlin authorities seem to know nothing about alleged plots against Emperor Nicholas and King Victor
