Balls and Strikes.

The baseball season is to open on
May 9Th, but up to the present time
the League have not drafted a sched-
ule. 1t is not settled yet whether the
Males are to enter the League. 1t is
to be hoped that some action will be
taken tonight, when the League meets.
The fans are becoming anxious for tie
lcail of game They would like to
know what is going to happen.
The proposition of the Males to sell
out is still hanging fire. Some of the
teams seem in favor of the arrange
ment and some are not. With the team
that the Males have mustered it would
be well for them to remain out at least
for this season. The idea of one game
on a Saturday is also having much dis
cussion. 1t looks as though one game
on a Saturday is the better plan. It is
very hard for the teams to have their
players on hand at 1:45 p m. Two
lgames in an afternoon is too much for
the ordinary spectator. With a one
game schedule people will have a
chance to do other things beside spend
ing whole afternoon at the ball park.

RUSSIAN EXPERTS CONFER
Over High Price of Crude Oil-Use as
Fuel

ST. PETERSBURG, August 5.-A confer
ence of experts and other interested per-
sons, summoned by the ministry of finance
to discuss the situation caused by the high
price of crude oil, which is of economic i'm
portance owing to its use as fuel, was held
today.
It was the general sentiment that the
PRESENT price of naphtha, though 1t was to
;ome extent owing to the disorders In Baku
nd other places on the Caucasus, and to
Inadequate transportation facilities, was
niefy due to the failure of the production

and that it would be necessary for some of
the railroads and factories now using oil
as fuel to change to coal Even the gov.
ernrfient representatives were of this opin-
ion regarding the railroads.
Statistics were presented showing that the
Russian exports of petroleum for the first
half of the year 1868 had fallen off one
half compared with the preceding half year,
and the prospect of the necessity for the
importation of foreign oil was seriously dis
cuSSed

MORE SAFEGUARDS in
CARRYING PLOSIyES

Washington, May I5.--The Harris
burg horror will probably result in
congress throwing more safeguards
about the transportation of high ex-
plosives. A bill providing for the label
ing of cars loaded with dynamite, giant
powder and other dangerous explo-
sives was introduced in the senate last
year by Senator Elkins, but failed to
pass because OF the effect such law
would have upon the transportation of
cartridges and ammunition for the
army and navy
Elkins' measure provided that the
supervision of the transportation of ex-
plosives should be under the control
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t is probable that the author
OF the defeated measure will reintro-
duce the bill in congress next year.
Senator Elkins believes that an import
ant provision of law should prevent
cars loaded with explosives from stop
ping in large towns. 1t is said that
Senator Elkins framed this bill after
spending a night at Grafton, w. Va,
in a sleeper which lay alongside OF a
car OF dynamite. During the uneasy
hours he watched that car, the yarions
