B. MOSES & SONS, 22 lith& F Sts: An Opinion Submitted. Attorney General Olney has given an opinion that the settlement made by Secre- taries Windom and Foster, with the North American Commercial Company, by which the government for the years 1890, 1891 and 1802 received a less rental, both as to the bonus and the rental per skin, than was originally agreed upon, was illegal, and therefore is not binding upon the present Secretary. This reduced rental and tax was accepted, because the company had not been permitted to take the full numbéf of skins originally specified in the lease as a limit. In view of this decision, the Secre- tary has made a formal demand upon the company for the full amount of rent and per skin tax for the year INK, and has re- ferred to the Attorney General for suca ac- tion as he may deem advisable the matter @f collecting from the company the full amount due for the previous years. The | whole amount claimed to be due the govern- ment is about $i2)"", of which $132,000 is on account of the 180 catch. e igh TO BRING UP weight in firm, sou ithy flesh, after the “Gaps or Pneumonia (‘* Lung Fe- ver” ), Bilious.or other Fevers, or = st Gromeng | to thoroughly purify your blood, rouse your liver to healthy action, and brace your ye when you feel “run- wn” or “ played-out "—take Pierce's Golden Medical Arrington, Nelson Co., Va.

Manager Schmelz’s base ball nine played at Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. It was their twenty-first game since the opening of | the championship season, and at the end of twe hours and sixteen minutes also their eighteenth defeat. Mercer and Dugdale were the battery. Washington had the game well in hand from the start, making three runs in the first and one each in the second, third, fourth and sixth, the score at that point being seven to six in favor of the Senators. But the regular slaughter followed. In the seventh the Bridegrooms “got onto” young Mercer in great shape and six runs result- ed. That settled it.

THAT GAME YESTERDAY, A Cross Between a Dog Fight and Log Rollt Caylor writes in the New York Herald to- day regarding yesterday's game at Brook- lyn: Something was “going on” at Eastern} Park yesterday afternoon. It was called a| base ball game, but only scientific observers were sure of it. In some respects it re- sembled a foot ball contest—there were so | many punts and tackles and flying wedges | and touch-downs; in other features it was a cross between a dog fight and a log rolling. ‘The. Washington tail enders were engaging in a death struggle with the Brooklyn crip- ples. For six long innings the strain was terrible to look at, and it was a toss up which side would fall to pieces first. In explaining the origin of that sublime and aesthetical uniform which the visitors wear, Manager Schmelz informed me that he got the idea last spring while visiting a performance of “1492.” In the ballet was girl who wore a black waist with red sleeves and he became so charmed with the waist, to say nothing of the girl inside of it, that he adopted the idea for a uniform. If Man- ager Schmelz knows his business he. will visit “1492" again and gather a few more points from the ballet to benefit his team. Either that or summon a new venire of players and make another drawing. The feature of the Brooklyn's playing was the recklessness of Acting Capt. Griffin. He slid, turned somersaults, bumped into basemen and exhausted every devicé to sprain a leg or split a finger, so that Handi- cap day would find him unfit to play. But “Mike” was unfortunate, and came out of All boys is made of dust. Paw sez if laint more industrius he will dust my! jacket. Bob Miller sez if his Paw wuz so sevear he wood get up and dust.

In that case he will have to go to Gravesend in a hack. “Tommy” Corcoran hurt his finger in the sixth inning an had to give way to George Shoch. “Tommy” always was lucky. Mercer, who pitched for the visitors, was slower than the current of the Chicago river. It was largely owing to his deliber- ate waste of the happy moments that the miserable rooters didn’t get their faces turned-homeward till the curfew bells were tolling at Coney Island. Worse games than that which the Wash- ingtons played have been seen in greater New York, but not by a team which was paid for its work. It was a collective case of “rattles” of the most pronounced stripe. ms will go to the post this after- noon for another race just as the horses in the great handicap line up before Starter Rowe.

During a call of the calendar in the Sen- ate yesterday the bill to provide additional accommodations for the government print- ing office was reached, but immediately Senator Vest asked that the bill should go over without prejudice, retaining its place on the calendar, very near the head. There is no disposition in the Senate to take up this bill at present, in fact it is impossible to do so owing to the debate on the tariff bil, The Senate is watching, however, with some interest, the attempts of the House committee on public buildings and grounds to do the bidding of the House by finding a suitable site on a reservation for the new printing office. So far as can be ascertained there is not any distinct senti- ment in the Senate in favor of this propo- sition. The Senate bill now stands amended by the substitution of the Mahone lot for the present site, with Senator Harris’ mo- tion to reconsider the vote by which this site was substituted still pending. —_—>__. LILLIAN AND JOHN PART. Separation of Miss Russell and Signor Lillian Russell and her husband, Signor Perugini, who is known in private life as John Chatterton, have separated. No rea- on is given. And thus ends Miss Russell's third expe- rience in matrimony. Her first husband was Harry Braham, an orchestra leader, whom she left in June, 188%, going to Europe with “Teddy” Solomon, the composer of “Billee Taylor” and other operas. With him she returned the following spring, and Braham secured a divorce. Four days af- terward she and Solomon went to Hoboken and were married. That was on May 10, They lived together until September, 1886, when she learned that Solomon had a wife living in England. She left him, and he re- turned to England, where he was arrested on a charge of bigamy, and was discharged, as no proof of his marriage to Miss Russell was produced. Miss Russell did not seek to have her union with Solomon annulled until last year, when in September Judge Mc- Adam of the superior court at New York granted a divorce. Her engagement to Signor Perugini was announced on January 10 last. On January 21 she and the signor, with a few guests, went to Hoboken, where a justice of the peace made them one. Miss Russell has a daughter about nine years old, who is being educated in a con- vent, ——_-+e+—___ Supreme Court of the United States.

Some Important Decisions Rendered by the Highest Tribunal. In addition to the cases noted in The Star last evening, the Supreme Court yesterday decided a large number of matters. Justice Shiras announced that the court affirmed the judgment of the supreme court of North Dakota in favor of the state in the suit of Brass agt. the state of North Dakota, known as the elevator case. This sustains the validity of the law fixing the rates of charges for elevators. Justice Shiras also announced the affirmation of the ordinance passed by the city of Charleston, under act of legislature of South Carolina, by which the Postal Telegraph Company was required to pay $500 a year for a license. The court affirmed the five-year sentence of Nelson F. Evans, convicted of misappropriation of the funds ‘of the Philadelphia Spring Garden National Bank. Henry Starr, convicted before Judge Par- ker of the United States court for the west- ern district of Arkansas and sentenced to be hanged for the murder of an officer sent to serve a summons upon him in the Indian territory, will have another chance for his life before the presidential power of pardon or commutation of sentence must be in- voked, the judgment of the district court having been reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that Judge Parker erred in his charge to the jury. Portions of the charge were severely criticised by the chief justice, who charac- terized them as entirely without the pale of Judicial utterances. The court took a very unusual position in the case of Artemus Roberts agt. W. F. Lewis, by which a former judgment of the court was reversed. The matter involved was the construction of the will of a resi- dent of Nebraska, which came before the United States Supreme Court some years ago in a case where the title to a certain piece of real estate was in dispute. At that time the United States Supreme Court ex- pressed its opinion of the document. Sub- sequently, however, when another piece of real estate was in litigation the supreme court of Nebraska decided that the will had not been properly interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, and the case got into the circuit court of appeals. That court thereupon certified the case to the United States Supreme Court and asked which con- struction of the will it should follow. “Ordinarily,” said Justice Gray, speaking for his associates, “there would be no doubt as to how to answer that question and the inquiring body would be told to follow the decision of the United States Supreme Court. But &ere we are satisfied that the supreme court of Nebraska was right end the United States Supreme Court was wrong, and the court of appeals will be so informed. At the close of the session Justice Fuller announced that the court would adjourn until Saturday, May 26, and at the con- Seen anne hgh TE lan the court would si journ until the second M of October nex*. — —————————-2+______ Officers Elected.
