CHICAGO, July 31.—Recent dispatches from Louisville, Ky., stated that a syndicate, of which Senior Esson, of Cincinnati, and E. H. Pazlor, of Frankfort, Ky-, were then organizers, had been formed for the purpose of cornering the old whisky mart. It was stated that there Were 77,000 ‘barrels of whisky of the years 1879 to 1883, and that the syndicate had al- ready bought up 44,000 barrels. Chicago deaters were reported 'to be interested in the syndicate. In order to verify some of these statements, a reporter visited a large number of the wholesalers and distillers and asked their views on the subject. It was found that no one knew anything positively about the deal, although one or two claimed to have been aware of the existence of It, The dealers here do not put much faith in the success of the venture.

TO SIT DURING THE RECESS, On motion of Mr. Manderson in the Senate today the printing committee was authorized to sit during the recess. On motion of Mr. Al- drich a sub-committee of the finance committee was also authorized to sit during recess to con- tinue the investigation of the subject of under- valuations. NOTES. The Senate this afternoon, on motion of Mr. Eustis, took up the motion to recommit the bill known as the teu-pound package bill, in relation to the packing of tobacco, and Mr, Eustis spoke agalust the motion. A Complication Avoided, WHY THE PRESIDENT DELAYED SIGNING THE LEGISLATIVE APPROKIATION BILL. The President signed the legislative bill yes- terday afternoon, but Acting Secretary Fair child called at the White House this morning and represented to the President that should the appropriation bill take ef fect. from this morning, considerable complication would arise in paying off the ‘clerks in the offices where reductions are made by the Dill. As the bill had uot left the White House, the President withheld his approval until this afternoon, so that it WHI not go into effect until August Ist. Had he bill gone into effect trom this mornin; claployes whose sulary is affected by the bi could only be paid up to last night at the accus- tomed rate, as the provisional bill providing for the expenses of the government loses its effect upon the approval of the regular bill, It will be seen that a good deal of complication Was avoided by the witholding o: the Presi- dent's approv: The Appropriation Bilis, The fortifications appropriation bill as it passed the Senate was considered by the House committee on appropriations this afternoon, and it was decided to report it back to the House with the recommendation that all of the Senate amendments be non-concurred in and @ conference requested. The con ferees on the sundry civil bill, at. their second meeting, ‘made no progress toward a settlement of the differences between the two houses on that measure, but the situa Uon with respect to the deficiency bill is more encouraging, a6 the conferees at this morning's meeting reached an agreement on many of the items Tn dispute. Further meetings will be held in both cases before a report is made to the two hot RogpgRtrs REPORTED.—Jacob Solomon, of ‘980 C rtreet northwest, reports stolen from "hi dining-room yesterday’ aiternoon @ $10 bill. Brooke and Rowland, of 620 Pennsylvania avenue, report stolen’ from thelr store this CHANGES IN THE OFFICES. Appointments, Promotions, Transfers, Dismissals, Ete. Owing to the fact that the President did not sign the legislative bill until last evening the changes caused by that bill in the clerical force of the various departments Will not be made until next week. IN THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, however, Joseph T. Byrne, of the District, was appointed stenographer to Second Assistant Postmaster General Knott; draughtsmen in the to} two clerks at $1,000 in. office were dismissed. The other changes will consist of transfers from one bureau to another. the dead letter office becomes an independent bureau, of which Mr. Baird, the present chief, becomes the superin- tendent, and Mr. W.

To the Editor of Ta Evexnxe Stan: ‘Some years ago, in my ignorance and foolish- ness, I lovked sorrowfully, but complacently down on the Feejeos and other fetish worship- ers and pharisaically thanked God we Ameri- cans were not as they wore. But all this has changed. With the advent of base-ball mas- cots the poor Feejecs have been crowded into back seats and now appear as but half-way re Teventatives of the guperstition lurking ia human kind, And so it has come to this, that our National nine—the much defeated—has Pinned its tattered pennant and forlorn hope to # mule bigger, blacker and longer than any other that e'er graced atow-path. The Chicagos are reputed to rely on a bluck, vows legged urchin posseased of that very. useful ar cle, set of double-row teeth. The Bostons, De- trojts and other clubs have aiso their particular mascots, of high or low degree, and crodit all victories to them and all failures to his satanic majesty. The patrons of theclubs are but little better. ‘In other words, they are also very superstitious, It strikes’ me, Mr, Edivor, that ‘one little element enters into this case which is too often overlooked. And that is the condi- ton of the nerves or nervous system of the players, For example, yesterday Knowles and Crane made costly errors, Ot course accident, & false step caused by uneven ground, &c., may account for all of them, but the first thing to look for in all such cases is the physical cou- dition of the players. Is he strong of nerve or ishe weak? IC the former, then some other cause of defeat may be looked tor. It the latter, we need search no further, Every sportsman of much experience knows Well thats single glass of whisky taken in the morning generally means few birds at night. And many tell us that two cups, or even one cup, of strong coffee Will unsteady the nerves, so that “the d—d gun misses fire half the time.” It is just the Same with base bull players—one drink of any- thing that strongly affects the nerves, or even sittiug up late, or overeating muy do’ the mis- chief and beat all the mascots that can be found. For one, if 1 contemplated betting I Would first wish to know how the members of the clubs (if equally matched) had spent the twelve or twelity-tour hours preceding—how tuey had drank, eaten, slept and otherwise spent the time. In tat direction lie the mas cots, Mascor DousrER. Stolen Bases. Powell, late pitcher of the Baltimores, has signed with the Cincinnati club. Fulmer, it is said, will be released soon by the Baltimores.

It is very doubtful if Barr will be able to pitch any’ more this season, | His finger ts injured seriously and the doctor directs rest for it. Henry Moore, well remembered here, played on the Peach’ Pie nine in St. Louis the other day under the nameof Stewart, ip to the 28th of July Anson had made ninety-two base hits, among them being twen- ty-one two-baggers, five triples and five home runs. Brouthers was credited with twenty doubles, six three-baggers and seven home runs, Big Thompson had made five home runs and Hardie Richardson had made seven, Brouthers was the first League batsman to make 100 hits, and O'Neill, of the St. Louls, was the first in the American association, Shaw was suspended in Kansas City for in- different playing. It the whole Washington club could be suspended it would not make much difference.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Clarkson was the only pitcher this season to strike out Brouthers twice in one game. In Justice to Knowles, second baseman of the Washingtons, it should be stated that it is harder io play that position in Washington, owing to the bad ground, than in any city in the country.—Hoston Herald, Detroit and St, Louis have the best grounds Jp the league in, that order; then comes 2 Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Kansas City and Washington.
