ALLE Kelly's Team Becomes a Member of the Eastern League. ‘The announcement that Mike Kelly and his base ball aggregation had skipped to the Eastern League was by no means a surprise at Allentown, though reports to the contrary, haye. been pramiscuously circu- lated. Informatior® conternttig thé matter is quite meager, but it is known that the club will be transferred to Yonkers, N. Y., and will play im Seranton today. Most of the home games are expected to be played on the polo grounds, New York. The attendance of late at Allentown has been very light, and this is the principal Feason for the step taken. What Secretary Dibblebock Says. The news that Allentown had seceded from the State to the Eastern League was totally unexpected to Secretary Diddlebock of the Pennsylvania League, as Mike Kelly has all along vowed eternal allegiance to the State League. It is said that Kelly is to receive a guarantee of $125 per game, with the privilege of 50 per cent, and that ‘when he is at home he fs to pay only the Fegular $75 guarantee. Secretary Henry H. Diddlebock of the State League said last night: “I have called a special meeting of the Teague at the Hotel Hanover for Saturday Risht at 10 o'clock. I cannot say just what we will do. We will certainly iinish the Season, if only with six clubs. We have a roposition for a new club in Scranton, but do not know whether we will accept it or jot. The Allentown club is delinquent in jues and fines to the State League, and we ean expel it, but I will not take that step until after the meeting. In the meantime the Allentown players become the property @f the State League, and I have ordered them to report to me for assignment. “The State League is not in a bad way, but will finish the season and have a stronger circuit than ever next year. All our trouble comes from outside interference, from which we could have been protected by the national board. Secretary Young Bas notified me that the national board will meet in New York on Monday next, and I Would not be at all surprised if Scranton and Allentown were both ordered back into the State League circuit. President P. T. Powers and the Eastern League will most certainly be expelled for violation of the Bational agreement.” 3 YOUNG'S CURVES. FARMER” They Were Found Easy by the Sena- tors Yesterday. “Cy” “Young—he of the Cleveland Base Ball Club, who held the Senators down to four hits and no runs on Tuesday—was made to sigh yesterday by the Senators. The fact ts, Cy possessed but little speed and the home players batted his delivery for thirteen hits, Hasamaear and Selbach Making home runs, Abbey and McGuire three-bas* hits and McGuire and Hasamaear se hits. Six runs were scored, all against two by Cleveland. Smiling ‘Al Maul was in his happiest mood and did Practically as he pleased with the Spider batsmen. In the first inning Joyce was hit on the Fight arm by a pitched ball and forced to Fetire from the game, Dugdale taking his Place. The latter played third base without an error. Washington scored one in the @econd, two in the fourth, one in the sixth and two in the eighth, while Cleveland forc- men around only in the fourth and ninth. he f » of the gume was a catch by Selbach of a long drive to left by Zimmer.

CROWDED INTO THE SHALLOWS, How the Vigilant Lost Yesterday's Race Off Ryde. Whatever chance the Vigilant may have had in the race off tie Isle of Wight yes- terday for the Ryde Town Cup, valued at <0, she was forced to sacrifice it in jockey- ing with the Britannia, which clung to her throughout the contest, occasicnally forcing her into shallows, where in windward work she found it impossible to vse the full depth of her board, and thus made leeway, which was beneficial to the Britannia. The ob- Ject of the skipper on the prince's cutter seemed to be to help the Satanita win the race. ‘That, Capt. Hank Haff declared in an in- terview after the event, was undoubtedly Capt. Carter's scheme. The Yankee skipper says that after crossing the line the Britan- nia ran up on his port, or weather quarter, ard blanketed him. Then the wily Briton made an effort to cross the white sloop’s bews, and Capt. Haff luffed up to prevent this. The jockeying always forced on the Yankee skippér continued until the two beats were two miles off the course. This enabled the Satanita to win, which she did by a handsome margin. page eee Faneral of Dr. Osmun. Funeral services over the remains of the late Dr. Charles Osmun, who was the medi- cal inspector of the health department, were held yesterday at the late residence, 917 12th street. Rev. Dr. 8. J. Smith officiated, and the interment was at the Congressional cemetery.

IN 1807. a Baltimore After the Natio campment Three Years Hence, The initial step looking toward getting the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to meet in Baltimore in 1897, when the centennial of the city will be celebrated, was taken last night by the officers and the members at a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting held at department headquarters. Major F. Wy Brackett, manager of the centennial expo- sition, and himself an enthusiastic Grand Army man, attended the meeting for the purpose of interesting the Maryland de- partment in the matter and getting It to take some direct and concerted action to- ward securing it. Major Brackett said that after having been requested to meet with his comrades and give his views, he had visited Wash- ington, and had had a talk with the com- mittee in that city who arranged for the national encampment there in 1Svi. He did this for the purpose of finding out es- pecially what the expenses had been. He had found that the expenses in 1891 had been $149,000, one item alone being nearly 75,00 for accommodations. The govern- ment had appropriated $90,000, to be paid out of the revenues of the District. Major Brackett said that he had gone carefully over the Washington expenses, and had found much that would not be required. Out of the $149,000 he had eliminated $110, 000, leaving a balance of $9,000 as the cost for the encampment in Baltimore, and even that amount, he thonght, could be con- siderably lessened. He had no doubt that the exposition committee would make a liberal appropriation for the Grand Army encampment, as it would be bound to bene- fit the exposition by drawing thousands of people from all sections of the country, and the amount they would appropri: would be more than made up by the num- ber of admissions to the grounds on Grand Army days. Medical Director A. A. White suggested that the legislature might grant an appro- priation for the purpose, which, as a mere Nnatter of business, would be worth mon- ey to the city. He believed that holding the encampment there would bring from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand people to Baltimore from all sections of the country, as they would have a double at- traction. There were representatives present from nearly all of the white posts in the city, and each one, voicing the sentiments of his pest, declared heartily in favor of mak- ing earnest efforts from this time on to get the encampment. A committee was appointed to meet the exposition committee next Tuesday night to confer about the matter. The most per- fect unanimity prevailed. ; It was decided to have literature printed for use at the Pittsburg convention, and from this time on to let the countersign be “Baltimore in 1897." Commander Rose sald that the eastern states would join with Maxyland in en- @eavoring to land the prize, and that this would be a team hard to beat. Capt. Charles A. Foster of the Depart- ment of Delaware was present, and said that his state would do all in its power to get the encampment to Baltimore, a1, Ls THE DEXVHR MEET. F tot Four New Revolds'¥all Before the Greaé, Wifelmen. f Ten thousand “petsohs; the recorded at- tendance of the #tason’ saw the best.day's racing of many yess Ht the national meet at Denver yesterday. ‘Phe rarified atmos- phere did not affect the men in the least, ané@ four world’s recoris fell. John S. Johnson wastpresent. His dress- ing tent at the far side of the track es- caped the clerk's nétide, and Mr. Johnson was not called for the half-mile national championship, so he ‘says. He was unfor- tunate at the start of ‘the mile open race, his wheel going wrong. Sanger competed and qualified for the half-mile championship and mile open races. In the half mile he was held back in the bunch and slowed down on the last turn. In the mile open he was beaten by Titus and A. Q: Brown, the Cleveland phy- sician, The heats made a very pretty morning’s work, in which were run the greatest num- ber of fast-flnishing quarters ever seen in a day's racing. Sanger rode only four-fifths a second outside the record when he did -26 2-5 at the finish of his third heat of the mile open. The really sensational part of a great day was caused by Fred J. Titus at the mile and five-mile competitive records and his performance in scratch events, where the competitive records are always made in handicap races. Good pace-makers were placed in every race, and the men were pulled out to their interest. The mile record fell in the mile open race for a $500 piano. Titus won in 2.10 3-5, but was disqualified for trying to force a path between Sanger and the pole. Sanger round- «d the turn a head to the good and wide of the pole. Titus, who had been follo ing Sanger closely, came neatly around the turn, and, ridiwg like mad down the very inside, essayed to pi Sanger closed in and the men locked bars. Sanger el- bowed Titus over the pole and Titus, after a 20-yard run off the track, suddenly jumped back 20 yards from home and won by a half length, Brown of Cleveland on the outside also defeating Sanger. Titus’ disqualification gives Dr. Brown first place. Titus’ time, 2.10 3-5, lowers the scratch race competitive record of 2.12 by Zimmer- man, and also the handicap race record of 241 2-5 by Sanger. The five-mile competitive record was 12.28 3-5, made by Titus, at Lufayette, Inst month. Yesterday in ihe five-mile national championship the same sterling rider did 12:19, defeating Charles Murphy of Brook- lyn, less than a half length. Ziegler, the Califoraian, was a close third. Here, too, pace-makers were employed, the time vy miles betng: 2.32 for the first, 4.36 for two miles, 7.18 for three miles and 9.58 for four miles. The mile novice race was won by Turn- bull of Denver, in 2.23 3-5, a cut of six seconds off the record, Jacquish of Chicago running second. Pace-makers were used. The fourth record broke was the haif- inile riding backward, little Les Richardson lowering his own record from 2.37. 4 The half-mile open national champlonship was perhaps one of the most interesting races on record. ‘Titus and Cabanne worked well to the front at the start off and pass- ing the stand. Sanger was in the bunch and too well hemmed in for his own good.Coul- ter of Toledo jumped past the bunch on the last lap and gained a good lead. Zeigler went after him and MacDonald was as quickly away. Zeigler caught Coulter and MacDonald nabbed Zeigler just at the turn. These two were fighting gamely when Eddie Bald suddenly shot forward, and in the last twenty yards caught’ MacDonald and Zeig- ler and won by thre# inches from Mac- Donald, who was three inches ahead of the Californian, with Coulter a close fourth. In the class A, Gardner of Chicago won the half mile prettily from a national field of starters, there being representatives from as far east as Buffalo. Gardner lost the third mile through a pocket. He was too fat back at the sprint. Loufs Callahan of Buffalo won a hot con- test in the class A 2.80 ¢lass race, The heats of the morning were the great- est series of heat races ver run, the last quarters being run in almost record time. Sanger won the thiré heat of the mile open, his last quarter in 26 2-5, the record being only four-fifths lower, In a fall in the two- mje handicap caused by foul riding Goetz, Dodson, MeGutre and Hamilton came down, ‘and Goetz is laid up for the rest of the meet. — THE SALVADORIA REFUGEES Will Have an Opportunity to Present Their Case in Court. The State Department has finally decided that the Salvadorian refugees now on the Bennington, lying off San Francisco, shall have an opportunity to show in court, if they can, that they are not subject to ex- tradition. Orders have been issued to Com- mander Thomas of the Bernington, which were communicated to him by a tugboat, to keep his vessel beyond the three-mile Limit until the extradition papers arrive at San Francisco. These were handed to the Salvadorian minister last Saturday after- noon and should reach San Francisco to- day. When they arrive the papers will be placed in the hands of the United States marshal, the Bennington will steam into the harbor and the refugees will be taken in custody and produced before the United States courts. Trey are Gen. Antonio Ezeta, late vice president of Salvador; Gen. Cat= echo, Gen. Kolonos and Lieut. Col. Clen- fugas, all of Ezeta’s staff, Before the court they will be represented by Ganzalie. de Nuesado and Horatio Rubens of New York, as counsel. While this counsel may invoke a writ of habeas corpus, it will be unneces- sary, as they will have their opportunity when the refugees are brought before the court In pursuance of extradition proceed- ings, to show that the extradition is sought on political grounds and that the offenses charged are not criminal in character, ° SAMOAN ISLANDS. THE Senator Gray Thinks the United States Should Annul the Tripartite Agreement. Senator Gray of Delaware, who has been acting as chairman of ‘the Senate commit- tee on foreign relations during the absence of Senator Morgan, has interested himself to a considerable extent in the Samoan Islands, and especially in the harbor of Pango-Pango. Some time ago he secured the adoption of a resolution which brought before the Senate all the correspondence which has been had on the subject of Samoan affairs. It was an immense amount of matter, and it is probable thet Senator Gray is the only man in the Senate who has read it all. The Delaware Senator say respondence disclosos just what he antict- pated and believed—that the United States is paying out a great. deal of money to maintain and carry gut the trivartite agree- ment, which results ig’ protecting a Ger- man mercantile post friin which this coun- try does not derive‘any benefit whatever. Asked as to the Imprpviment that had been that the cor- made or contempla in the harbor of Pango-Pango, Mr. Glay‘says that this coun- try has not expendef @hy great cmount of money upon it, and, on fhe other hand, has done scarcely anything’there in the way of improving 1t. — He does not think-that any such step Is in contemplation by-this government, al- though he says that now that the United States has got the Barbor he supposes :t will retain it. ForUhimself, he does not think it will ever be of any great benefit to this country, and if we could annul the tripartite agreement,’ arid allow the harbor to go with it, he woul not care.

Many Other Notes of General and Local Interest to the Public— Social Movements.

Meredith for Congress from the eighth cougressional district reading “Resolved, That we demand the reinstate- ment of silver in the currency as it existed prior to its demonetization in 1573, when, according to the Constitution and the law, the people enjoyed the right to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1,” was eliminated, and the followi1g substituted as an addendum to the first resolution: ‘That we have an abiding faith in the wisdom, courage and patriotism of Grover Cleveland and com- mend his administration to the peopie of this district. That we appreciate the diffi- culties in eradicating the evil effects of re- publican misrule and extravagance.” Sofia Levy has entered suit in the cor- poration court, through Charles Bendheim, her attorney, against the Farmers and Me- chanics’ Insurance Company of this city for $1,000 damage on account of loss by fire in Washington, D.

Walter Foley, who was injured on Reed's wharf several weeks ago, is out again, though he has to use crutches. The hotel at New Alexandria came with- in an ace of being burned up last night, and but for the hard work of Mr. Shepherd, the proprietor, would have been a mass of ruins this morning. A little girl was carry- ing a lighted lamp through one of the upper halls and accidentally let it drop, breaking it and sending the burning oil in all direc- tions. Mr. Shepherd, who happened to be passing, succeeded in putting out the fire after a fierce battle with it, not, however, until he had been severely burned about the hands and arms. The Old Dominion Boat Club of this city has decided not to enter a crew in the Po- tomac regatta tomorrow. Capt.

There was to have been a game of base ball at New Alexandria yesterday morning between fhe Old Dominions of this city and the Rockville Athletics, but for some rea- son the last named team did not show up. In order, however, that the large crowd that had gone down to witness the game might not be disappointed Manager Mc- Learen got up a game with a team picked from a number of Washingtonians who were on the ground. The Olid Dominions won, in a well-contested game, by a score of 9 to 7. Several Alexandrians will leave for At- lantic City tomorrow to spend Sunday. Quite a large crowd went to New Alex- andria yesterday afternoon to witness the tournament that had been advertised to take place. But few knights entered and the tournament was not as much of a suc- cess as was anticipated. Mr. John Graham was the successful knight and crowned Miss Thompson of Washington Queen of Love and Beauty. The coronation ball’ was held in the large dining room of the hotel and dancing was kept up until a late hour. Mrs. James R. Caton and Mrs. Dan R. Stansbury have gone to Brighton, N. Y.

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. In tne of war there is often some troop picked out by the commanding officer to lead a forlorn hope of the loring or already defeated side. This is the case in Hawali. The Rio Janeiro carried away the leaders of the forlorn hope of the royalist party in the persons of Sam Parker, H. A. Wide- mann and John Cummins. They left as an embassy of Liliuokalani, and carried with them an ex-royal commission from her. They will hasten on to Washington to in- form President Cleveland that the ex-queen should be at once re-enthroned. And the answer will be—well, the Holomua explain- ed last evening what the answer would be. It is understood that the first object of the commission is to ask Mr. Cleveland to put the ex-queen back on the throne. If they are told that such is not the Intention of the United States, the next thinz the commis- sion will ask for wiil be a peasion for wili- uckalani. Should this also be refused the disappointed party will hie themselves homeward, and endeavor to bring the royal- ists in line, have them register, and so ob- tain a standing in the legislature. Maj. Se- ward accompanied the party as secretary. Judge Widemann was seen yesterday in regard to the projected trip. “I believe,” said the judge, “that a time has come when it is for the interests of both sides to know exactly where we stand.” In reply to a question as to the scope of the mission, Mr. Widemann explained that it was for pur- poses of information. If the President re- fused to restore the monarchy, then there was an end of the matter. “Shall you seek to obtain a pension for Liliuokalani, in case she is not to be re- stored?” “Nothing of the sort,” replied the judge grufly. “The commission has no pur- pose of the kind.” As to the policy of the royalists after the commission should re- turn, Mr. Widemann declined to express any opinion, and indeed declared that he did not have any to express. “I do not fash my brain about it,” he added contemptu- ously. Sam Parker was also seen, but he was not disposed to be at all communicative. He said the commission was going to Washing- ton to again ask Cleveland to restore Liliuo- kalani. His story was a corroboration of the facts as stated above. ‘The party left on passports issued from the foreign office.
