Committee, has been i'll in Philadelphia
for some time and the Senate commit
tee probably will not take up the post
office bill for couple of weeks
A little work is being done in com
mittee for Hawaiian measures. Two
hearings have been given by the Ter

and of the territorial governor. There
Is no indication apparently as TO what
the committee will decide to do with
this bill or whether it is likely to get
before the House at this session. There
has been no report yet on the bill to
create an additional territorial Judge
ship. If it passes it is understood here
that District Attorney Breekons might
like the appointment.
The Notifications appropriations bill
remains as heretofore, since it passed
the House It is altogether probable
that the Senate will adopt all the items
affecting Hawaii, approximately as they
were adopted by the House.

PITTSBURG TERMINAL AFFAIRS
 ARE NOT IN BEST OF CONDITION

New York, May 2S.-Officials of the Gould roads were in conference today concerning the affairs of the Pittsburg Terminal company. Interest amounting to s6oO,0OO on the first mortgage bonds of the road falls due on Monday and doubt was expressed in financial circles today whether the interest would be met.
 Today's meeting of the Pittsburg Ter minal directors was preceded by that of the Wabash board. It was announced that another meeting of the Pittsburg Terminal board would be held tomorrow when some action regarding the interest rayment on the first mortgage bonds will probably be taken.
 In the financial district reports of a complete reorganization of the Pittsburg Terminal were current and it was learned that tentative reorganization commit tee friendly to the controlling interests had been formed.
 The financial condition of the Pittsburg Terminal railway, which owns a ma iority of the stock of the Wheeling and Lake Eerie road, and is in turn con- trolled by the Wabash, is not especially June 30 1868, the Pittsburg Terminal reported a deficit of about S500.000 and for the nine months of the current year earnings were $4SO,9O0 net, with fixed charges of about ss00000.

Memphis. May 2s-A corpulent looking crooned the Barons to sleep at Red Elm hollow this afternson. Other members of the Mempllif participated and rocked the cradle that sent the vaughnites to slunfber land, but one McNeal helped more than any one else.
 Manager Vaughn announced before the time for play to start that one Fleharty would twirl the contest against the locals but Mac looked so good in practice that Harry thought that he would send the ex-New York State leaguer to the firing line with the result that he was not as warm as his boss thought he was.
 Before practice Mac seemed to have everything, but after ascending to the mound he could not locate the plate to save himself. and then he made glar ing error that helped the local cause nightly. It was wild toss to the first sacker that allowed a score.
 The Barons got away tonight for home with few victories to their credit, but Vaughn promised before leaving that there would be considerable more before the team took to the road aagin. A pe- culiar thing in connection with all games played at Memphis was that the Barons assumed the lead in every game and then lost out. Today it was the same state of affairs. In the fifth round of misery steady Lou Walters stung one to left for a base and he moved up a peg when Mac rrha CladUS Mn1pS- worth punched one up against an ad on the rightfeld fence, Lou ambled in.
 The locals came back strong at the Barons in the same round. Unfortunately Shields did something that Molesworth and Henhne were not calculating on. He stung one for a couple of bases just out of reach of the fielders heads. Murphy was passed, Babb martyred himself and both moved a peg. Orth Collins sent one to center garden that both men scored on. It looked like Molesworth could have gotten the ball had he stretched himself little.
 The locals added two more in the seventh. Murphy coaxed four more wide ones and moved up on sacrifice. Then Bill Cranston sent one to McNeal's hand and he attempted to place it exactly in the hands of Douglass but he miscalcu- lated and the ball rolled to the right field fence, with the result that Murphy scored and Cranston was on third when the ball returned. Bill scored when Donahue stung one for a base.
 The Barons seemed to come to life in the ninth round. Downey got single to right field after Raub flew out to left Demont singled to right, sending Downey up, and then Noah Henline stung one to center, which Bill Donahue caught and that made an out but Downey scored
 Little Rock players witnessed the game and moved out tonight for Birmingham with the Barons, where tffey play the Alabama team at West End park, begin ming tomorrow. It is reported that Vaughn has a new player coming.

Anderson, Ind, May S.-Although it may not be decided until later in the year, it was almost settled today that the Woman's Missionary association and the Foreign Missionary Sociey of the United Brethren Church will not hold joint international session next year.
