The returns of mortality received at the pealth department during the week show a decrease of per cent as against those of the week previous. The most favorable feature of the week's record ts the large falling off in the number of deaths of children under five years of age. The im- rovement in this respect was equal to cver a per cent as compared with the preceding report. Out of the continued drought and Jatense heat which have prevailed during the last few weeks no epidemic has made its appearance. The health conditions of the city during this period compare favor- @bly with those of fo§ner years, and are characterized by the Sbsence, to a great degree, of violent fevers and contagious diseases. The following statement will cive general view of the results of the week's wealth history: Number of deaths, 140; white, 79; colored, 61. Death rate per 1,40 per annum—White, 21.0; colored, 35.2. Total population, 25.5. Fifty-six were under five years of age, 46 were under one year old, and 32 over sixty years. Twenty-three of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. ‘The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 44; constitutional, 19; local, 60; Gevelopmental, 13; violence, 4. The principal causes of death were: Diph- theria, 5; consumption, 11; diarrhoeal, 23; erysipelas, 1; typhoid fever, 7; malarial, 1: Pneumonfa, 8; congestion of the lungs, 1 bronchitis, whooping cough, ; menin, Births reported—25 white males, 24 white females, 17 colored males, 2) colored fe- males.

The most disgraceful scene ever witnessed cn the base ball grounds occurred in yester- day's gam? between Philadelphia and Bos- ton. : Tucker had his cheek bone broken by a blow and several other Boston players were roughly handled. The game was a close and exciting one from the beginnirg, and at the end of the seventh inning the score stood 2 to 1 in Bos- ton's favor. At this juncture the weather became threatening and it looked as if there might be a downpour of rain at any mo- ment The Philadelphia team went in, and by hard hitting scored seven runs in the eighth inning. Then the Boston players began throwing the ball about the fleld and jump- ing out of the way of easy ground hits, evi- dently playing in the hope that rain would stop the game aad give them the victory. Umpire Campbell, who officiated in Stage’s place, warned Capt. Nash to play ball. Nash and his men paid no attention to Camp- bell’s warning, refusirg absolutely to put the home players out. The Phillies haa to run out of line and bat foul before they were declared out by the umpire. Thompson, the third man out, had to cut across the dia- mond from first to third before the side could be put out. Nash and his team then walked slowly in from the field. Hailman cf the home team handed Umpire Campbell a watch, and the latter, after waiting a few minutes for the Boston players to proceed, gave the Phillies the game by 9 to ¥. ‘The Boston men, who were sitting on the players’ bench, began packing their bats away and began to leave the grounds. Tucker started to go to the dressing room when ke remembered that he had left his big glove on the base line. He went across the fleld toward first base. The crowd, which had surged upon the field, gathered around him. One of the crowd jostled Tucker with his elbow. This was the signal for trouble. Some one in the mob struck Tucker on the left cheek, breaking the bone. Grady, Boyle, Weyhing and as many of the Philadelphia players who could get around Tucker attempted to prevent a further as- sault, but he was roughly handled before he Was conducted to the dressing room by po- lice officers. The crowd then turned its attention to the other players, and Sergeant Eglof sent for a squad of policemen. When the latter arrived the Boston players were taken to the dress- ing room. Atter the crowd had dispersed the players were escorted to their coach. As the coach went down Broad street it was followed by 1,000 men and boys, who hooted and jeered the players. Col. John I. Rogers, the principal owner of the Philadelphia Club, met Capt. Nash of the Boston team in the dressing room after the trouble and said: “The Boston team have brought this trouble upon themselves. The Philadelphia spectators will not stand dirty ball playing. The crowd was led by three or four irresponsible ons, who were worked up to fever pitch by the un- sportsmanltke tactics of your own players.” Wm. Leonard and Lewis Sailor, two of the crowd who surrounded the Boston players, were arrested and locked up in the station house near the grounds. Both men deny that they had anything to do with the as- sault on Tucker and they will probably be released. Campbell, who umpired the game, is well known to the base ball public. He has umpired many of the big college games. He was selected by Chief of Umpires Harry Wright to take the place of Stage, who is Bane Ball Notes. It is to be hoped that President Young will not give heed to the reports about Umpire Gaffney’s drinking. Von der Ahe is accustomed to making reckless charges, and doesn’t hesitate to say that his men have been dissipating when they lose a game. His unjust charges have demoral- ized his team. Marager Hanlon of Baltt- more thinks that the rumors that Umpire Gaffrey has not been behaving himself 3 | ultimate analysis it is a test of man, a properly in St. Louis are untrue. He says that while the Baltimores were the-e Gafi- ney umpired gocd ball, and, if anything. gave St. Louis the best of the close de- cisions.

Athletes Enterinined by American Colony in London. The Yale athletic team were entertained by 175 members of the American colony in Londen at a supper at the Criterion restaurant last night. Ambassador Bayard presided and Gen. Patrick Collins, the United States consul general, was vice pres- ident. The hall was decorated with the United States and British flags and the insignia of the various states, including Utah. There Was a large spread table benind the presi- dent's chair, and still higher in the pack- ground there was a reproduction of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World. The menu was artistic, student-like and quaintly antique in conception. President Bayard had the Yale men on his right and Sir Richard Webster, Judges Grey, Andrews and Patterson and Sir John Puleston on his left. Proposing the toast, of the, evening, Mr. Bayard dwelt upon the community of lan- guage and ormgin of the Oxford and ¥ale teams, and created laughter by referring to them all as “Yale fellows well met.” “These are simple words, gentlemen, but believe me if humaritty ate’ to’ be weighed, if the difficulties of the administration of human affairs are to’ be put to thefr sever- est tests, it is to hold the scales of justice even and prevent pession or prejudice bear- ing down one side or the. other.

There will be two races, as usual, on= for fours and one for eights, and as the teams are well matched, the races will probably be close and correspondingly in- teresting. The races will be followed by the customary dance given by the members for the o ing teams. From erenioen contestants in Friday evening’s races will be chosen the fours and eights which ere to represent the club in the coming Potomac river regatta, to be held about August 15, and not | than the 18th.

Beis Se “The placiiz §¢ brass tablets in the par- Mament house at Ottawa to commemorate the departure of the Royal William from the port of Quete> in 1833, the first vessel | to cross thd ocean wholly by steam, has stirsed up some interesting reminisceaces, said Capt. Edward Hoague, an old Engiish | sea captain, who is at the Rigzs House on a visit from his adopted hom> in Toronto. “It turns out that the first stexmer to cross the Atlantic was an American vessel, called the Savannah. She was a steamship, and used both sails and steam, and w: built by Crocker & Fickitt, at Co-laer’s Hook, in New, York city. The present be- lief is that was built by a party of capitalists, who intended to sell her to some foreign monarch. She was commanded by Capt. Mores Rogers, and was a ship-rigged vessel of nearly four hundred tons. She had a horizontal engine, which was placed between her decks, and her boilers were in the lower hold. It is gencrally admitted that the Savannah salfled from New York in 1819, going to Savannah, her namesake, in seven days, fcur of which she nsed steem. There she was chartered by the city corporation to go to Charleston to take President Monroe, who was then traveling through the states on a pleasure excursion. He failed to accept the invitation, and the boat returned to Savannah. After remain- ing at this port for some days, and taking out several parties of curiosity as well as pleasure se2kers, the Savannah sailed for Liverpool, reaching it after a voyage of eighteen days, seven of which were made under steam. “The arrival of the strange-looking ves- sel, with huge clouds of emoke ascending from her decks and obscuring her rigging, caused quite a commotion when she en- tered St. George’s channel, off the city of Cork, and the commander of the British man-of-war lying in the harbor thought e was a vessel in distress, and sent tw cutters to board her. Everything he foun all right, however, the Savannah was al- lowed to proceed on her way, and thou- sands of people greeted her as the steamed up the Mersey to Liverpool, with the Ame: ican flag fiving at her head. The. Savan- h then made a trip to Copenhagen, Cron- it and St. Petersburg, and then returned this country, where she was relieved of her steam apparatus, and for many years ran as @ packet between New York and Savannah, finally going ashore and break- ing up on Long Island. The Savannah w of course, a shle-wheeler, and as it w impossible to carry a sufficient supply of fuel in her to keep up steam on a long voy- age, her wheels were removed during 400d salling weather and canvas substituted. The King of Sweden wanted to buy the boat when it was abroad, but the deal through. Now, those are the real t cts about the first steamship that ever crossed the Atlantic ocean. ‘The recent labor troubies in Chicago have had the effect of settling probably for all time to come the question whether the United States should be considered ina plural or singtilar sense,” said Roger Dele- hanty of Pittsburg at the Arlington this morning. “A\gr¢at many people have here- tofore maintained that the use of United States as a nowy pingular was not only un- grammatical, ;, byt unconstitutional. Of course there wer@ no tenable grounds upow which to base the grammatical objection, because mary plural nouns are ‘used with singular verljj. ngtably ‘news’ and ‘politics,’. The constitu’ 1 silcklers, howéver, ap- peared to have a better foundation for their claim that ‘United States’ was plural, as the Constitution tonstantly referred tothe United Statd§ a8 ‘they’ and ‘them,’ and this custom jyas,continued in the.-phrase= ology of amendments up to the close of the war. But the popular championship of the indivisability of "the Union has caused a marked change 40 occur in the premises. | 1 It Is true that.republican Presidents haye been criticised for nationalizing the words ‘United Statés,” but now President Cley, land has dong the same thing. In hfs’ ri cent proclamtatfor he warns’ persons Yfori injuring or Interfering with ‘property be- longing to the United States, or under “its” jurisdiction,’ and Attorney General Olpey said: “The soil of Tinols is the wall of the United States, and for all United States purposes, the United States “is” there with “ite” courts,“Its" marshal and “itgy,tr % Alarmists may view in this acceptance of the meaning of the Union a tendency, ward a dangerous centralization of power, but the events of the past two weeks maven shown that a government that does not hesitate to exercise eentralized power behalf ef law and order {s something, tha\ the majority of the American peoplé -ad« mire to the point of enthustasm.";,, , 1 “The land commissioners of New, York have decided to lease the islands in Lake George. and other sheets of waver td eediaite state, to private individuals,” sajg W. q- ward Hardy of Albany at the Ebbitt last night. “A number of well-to-do pévpleshave already rented elther entire islands or eligible portions-of them for the purpose of summer residence and camping. pur- poses. There are about 250 islands in Lake George suitable for such use, and this most beautiful of lakes will increase in popularity by reason of this new departus. The leases are limited to five years, and pre- cautionary clauses in them will prevent those taking possession of the - property from defacing or injuring any of the ratural beauties of shrubbery, foliage. or lake and river borders while engaged in improving it for dwelling purposes.. In future years Luke George will contain a large summer population on its Islands, and I have no doubt that it will become the social summer center of New York state, on account of the character of the people who are securing the property for refuge during the hot months.” “The recent news from England, which appears to show such a universal senti- ment in favor of abolishing the English house of lords, is somewhat misleading,” said W. H. Barnie, a London bookseller, at the Arlington yesterday. “While there is a vigorous crusade being waged against the continuance of the body as a part of the English political system, it is confined largely to the ultra republicans. The great bulk of the substantial people of England nave a very deep veneration for thelr anctent institutions, and while I have no doubt time will bring about a curtailment of the veto power whick the lords now ex- ercise over the measures of the house of commons, I do not think that the genera- tion is yet thought of that wiil seo their total extinction. It seems to be believed on this side of the water that a nobleman has a right to take his seat In the house of lords as soon as he comes into his title. This ts not so. No person can participate in the debates of the upper house of parlia- ment or take any part in Its deliberations, either by voice ‘or vote, until he has been summoned by the sovereign. At the present time, for instance, a noblem2 1 can no more take his seat in the house of lords, no mat ter what his title may be, than he can in the house of commons, unless the queen expresses hergelf to that effect. What has made the agitation in favor of abolishing the body appear so important is the novelty of the idea. When the people of England reach the point where they can agree with any sort of ynanimity to such a new de- parture, they ,will,be found also willing to do away with the:monarchy altogether and become a republic, but as lon; as G t Britain count her’ colonies as tne most va! uable of her possessions, and the other Breat powers;, of, Europe recognize the The Wonderful Work of Mag- netism—It Cures All Ills. ‘The writer, in conversation with two ladies who return to thetr homes in Rhode Island tomorrow, was told that after years of suffering, baving had the best physicians of Provideoce, Boston and Europe, they accidentally heard of Drs.

Tyler of Salt Lake at Willard’s this morning. “Sh? has more population than either Delaware or North Dakota, and there are more neople within her borders than are eentained in the whole of Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada put to- gether. It will doubtless be surprising to learn that nearly 000 children attend the putdic schools in Utah. Another thing that should command respect for Utah is the percentage of its church-going pepula- tion. In New York state, according to the most reiiable census returns, 32 per cent of the people go to church; in Utah, 6) per cent of the population do the same thing. Its mineral output last year was about $14,- 069,000, ami this year it will be more, while its agricuitural and manufacturing in- terests are increasing in even a greater ratio than the developrent of its mines. On2 of these day Utah will raise enough beets to supply the whole country between the Alleghenies and the Rocky mountains with sugar. The Mormons have discovere) that polygamy is as bad in a practical sense as we regard It from a moral stand- point, and that blot is being rapidly e‘ace3 from the territory. Yes, sir, the people of Utah are as obeiient to the laws of the country as the members of any common- wealth in the Union, and statehood will only further increase their ambition to con- tinue their journey along the path of progress with even more vigorous strides.” A tal’, big-fram-d man, whore smooth tace attracted immediats its classical regularity of feature and the strength of character displayed in its out- lines, was engag*d in earnest converzati in the lobby of the Ebbitt House this morn- ing. His apparent physical vigor and the ruddy glow of health in his cheeks seemed out of place in the possession of one who was recently said to have come home fom the Orient to resign and die, and there was nothing in the cordial grasp of his hand to indicate failing strength. The gent was les S. Denby, United States ter to China, who is here in consul! with the State Department over impo diplomatic matters, and more especially the gending Chinese treaty. Mr. Denby, natu’- ally, did not discourse upon the affairs, po- litteal or otherwise, in China, as he is the dean of the diplorratic corps in that country at present, and any opinions he might ex- press would be in the nature of an authori- tative declaration for the entire body of ministers; besides, diplomats do not rush into p-int like certain other people in public ife. Mr. Denby has spent nine years in ina as the representative of the United States. He occupies the peculiar position, among other things, of holding appellate ju- dicial jurisdiction over 400,000,000 people. “In China, as perhaps you know,” he re- marked this mo-ning, “the native courts have no jurisdiction over foreigners. If a citizen of the United States, England, Ger- many, France or any other power commits a crime, or is guilty of a misdemeanor, he 1s tried before the consul of his own coun- try. If a foreigne> engages in a business transaction with a Chinaman and the lat- ter becomes his creditor, and there is a le- gal controversy over the payment of the debt, the question ts tried and settled by the consul of the foretgner, and, in case of appéal, “By the minister representing the? foreign country. ‘here are about 1,300 ‘Americans in China, the larger number of hom ae, “missionaries, while others are agéd as’ engineers, and still others are Bie eyed as captains of boats plying in the mst’ trade a the rivers, In Shanghal probably twenty-five Amecieans are en- gaged in commercial pursuits. They are prudent, careful men, and the consuls of this country have little to do in a judicial sense on their account.” Minister Denby will remain here for sev- eral days; and will then go to Detroit to see his wife and daughter, who ace residing these-at> present. \ “Lord Randolph Churchill is under tréat-¢ ment at an institute in Chicago for relief from the morphine habit,” said J. S. Meyer fat ‘the’ Epbitt this morning. “Upon coming east I learned that the impression prevails that ‘the ‘distinguished Englishman is at’f less, as clear ‘as Dwight "taking the gold cure.

The treatment was tmmediately commenced, and, remarkable as it may seem, Lammon became a well man and restored to physical and mental health in less than three months. I have no doubt the same result will be reached in Lord Randolph's case, and I can ‘magine the happiness of his wife when the journey nome is undertaken under such different circumstances from those which attended their trip hither. Physicians may scoff at the cure of whisky and morphine habits by the new style of cures, but they are sub- stantial facts, nevertheless, and proofs of it can now be found in every city and community in this country in the personas of men who have been reclaimed from mis- ery and degradation worse than death by the application of the so-called quack»ry 4 ., Saturday and Sur July 22 Round-trip tickets $1.25," geod until following Monday. * -.
