Excitement Over the Rumored Triple Alliance. Important Developments Ex- pected in Cuban Affairs. Minister Motley Negotiating a Consular Treaty. Proposed Election of Senators by the Virginia Legislature. Fhe Toxas Diection to Extend Over Four Days. WASHINOTON, Sept. 15, 1869, ‘The Rumored Tripartite Treaty Against the uited States. ‘The despatch from Madrid representing the cor- Piction of@ sort of tripartite treary on the part of Engiand, Frauce and Austria to protect Spain against the United States creates quite an excite- ment, and It is surmised that the unusual secrecy at the State Department has something to do with the matter, General Sickles’ Instructions. 3ti# ascertained from a reliable source that Gene- ral Sickles was not authorized to make any demand upon the Spanish government. He was instructed merely to act disereetly, out with earnestness, as a mediator between that Power and the Cubans on the basis already published for the independence of the istand. Leading members of the government favor the proposition, but are not {ree at present to finally accept of it. Interview of the Cuban Envoy with Secre- tary Fish=Reticerce Concerning Cuban Affuirs. © Mr, Lemus, the Cuban Envoy, with Mr. Ruiz, of the Cuban Junta, arrived here to-day from New York. Thelr movements have been unasually secret, bnt it is understood that they had a private Interview with Secretary Fish during the day, at which Cuban'matters were discussed, especially the new phase wiuch affairs have taken relative to that island in Spain. Late in the evening Messrs, Lemus, Ruiz and one or two members of the Junta held a ‘Private conference, the result of which has not been wade known. Mr. Ruiz left to-night for New York, Wis said’that in a short time important develop- ments will be made relative to the relations between Cuba and the United States. ‘The Secretary ot State, a8 well as the Cubans, maintains a reticence which makes it impossible to obtain any posittve informa- tion-ns to what is going on, but from ‘the wise looks and ominous head-shaking it is evident that events of unusual importance are about to transpire. The Alabama Claims Treaty, The administration has not, contrary to report, restricted Minister Motley in the reopening of the negotiations for the settlement of the Alabama claims, althougil it was thought, at the time he received his instructions, it would be expedient vo walt until the excitement in England caused by the Senate’s rejection of the Clarendon-Johnson treaty had subsided before again entertaining the subject with her Majesty’s government. But it was never contemplated that Mr. Motley should neglect any favorabie mvitation or opportunity to renew negotiations, Itisno secret that he was specially in- wiructed on the subject of the naturalization pro- tocoi which was ratified by the Senate; but Parlia- ment has yet to pass the law necessary to carry it into effect. He bas since been engaged in the nego- tiation of a consular treaty, a measure considered of much importance by this government, A Wexed Question—Fercign Etiquette. Foreign representatives have heretofore, on seve- ral public occasions, complained of lack of atten- tion. Last Tharaday, at the funeral of secretary Rawiins, all proper courtesies wore extended—tick- ets were sent them for admission to the services at the War Depariment. Their positron in the proces- sion was immediately after the President and mem- bere of the Cabinet; but as they were invited per. sonelly, and not as members of the diplomatic corps, surprise 1s expressed in prominent circles that, nowwithstanding former discussions of eiiquette, they appeared in plain citizens’ dress, instead of the costumes distinctive of their oiicial character. The Virginia Senatorial Question. ‘There is a growing disposition among leading poli- thewns of both parties in Virginia to advise the eleetion of United States Senators by the Legisla- ture when it meets to ratify the fifteenth amend- ment next month. Itis belleved this is necessary to perfect the work of reconstruction, and that it is in conformity with the laws of Congress, though the opinion of Attorney General Hoar does not. dis- Unctly say so, In seeking admission to the Union Senators will be required as well as Representa- tives, and the best judges of the law are inclined to think they should be ready to take their seats when the State is admitted. Of course such action, tf de- termined upon, wpuld be entirely subject to the approval of Congress, whether that body should afterwards declare it valld or not. One of the ehtef effects of this course at the first meeting of the Legislature wouid be the lection of two Senators ‘who would be in every respect accepiable to the ad - ministration and to Congress. {f the matter ts le(t until the State is admitted Senators of a diferent Political cast would in al! probability be returned, The Hlection in " a8. When the election in Texas was origmally ordered the 20th of November was jixou as the day on which itshould be held. General Reynolds, commander of the military department in which Texas is located, informed the Secretary of War recently that in his opinion it would be linpossible to hold a fal election in one day and recommended vat it be extended to four days. In accordance with tis recommendation General Sherman, Sceretury of War, has issued an ~ grder that the election be continued for f Favorable Report from the ty Abundance of Fire Wat A private letter received here by Colonel A.

Athtétic. ‘The scene at the Union Grounds yesterday, on the occasion Of the return game between the above named clubs was enlivening and exciting in an emi- nent degree. ‘The fleld, ax usual, looked exceedingly handsome, the bright green, velvety coating shed- ding the sun’s rays in mellowed beauty on the mass of humanity which walled it in, ard giving effective contrast to the white uniforms of the nimble play- ers, Whien the preliminaries for the game had been concluded by the selection of Mr. Nelson, of the Eckford Club, as umpire, play was commenced by the Mutuals at the bat. Hatfleld, after waiting a few moments, struck sharply, but only tipped the bail, and as it bounded back Radcliffe took it and Hat- eld retired, E. Mills then followed with a hit to right short. Reach stopped the ball, and “muiting”? it shghtly gave Mills a chance for his vase had he continued his speed in running. Reach, however, got hold of the little lobe and sent it on a bee line to the handsome iittie sphynx on first base, and Mills was done for. Flaniy then came to the bat, and, after one ‘ineffective strike,’ hit the ball solidly down to left fleld and got to first base. He was s00n forced out at second by Mills, who sent the ball to short stop, wiere the tricky McBride was playing, and by whom the ba!! was passed to Reach, Reach i orn for the Athletics by Gomg precisely as Hatfield had done and being cared for by C, Mills. McBride then sent the bal! bounding toward third, and Hatfield, playing just far enough out to make it dangerous to wait for the third bound and yet too far out to be sure of the second, ran in to stop ‘the ball short after the second bound and “muffed’ it, McBride consequently got to first base. Cuth- bert hit to short stop, but Carleton, after stopping it, threw poorly to second, and Curhbert got to first and McBride to second safely when both should have been put out. Fisher “came up’ to the piate, and, gauging the bali nicely, sent it almost. smasting through the clouds toward centre field. Few expected that it would be caught, but Eggier was there, and as the ball was flying over lum le jumped, put up his right hand and brought it down again with the batl safely jodgea init. The brillant catch clicited round after round of applause from all quarters of the fleld. No weather contd be more delightful and better fuited to trotting than that which prevailed yester- day. The roads leading to the Union Course, how- ever, were very dusty, ang sundry devours from the main roads had to be made in order to avoid their execrabie condition in other respects, some of them having been repaired in such a way as to make them extremely diangreeable to ride over. The attractions offered at the course yesterday were not suMiciently great to draw together a large con- course of people, and of course a slim attendance Was no disappointment, Nowadays it takes quite a strong card to induce a@ large attendance at the Union Course under the drawbacks of bad ond dusty roads and the unfashionable style of accommodations when people get there. When this track was built by Cad- Wallader Colden, tn 1822, Its appointments were considered the best in the country; but this is a pro- gressive age, and the fashions of the present day have far outstripped those of antiquity. Modern improvements are what people want—something fashionabie and stylish, something like what we gee at the new places of amusement; but we doubt whether we shall ever see any improve- ment in the appoiutments of the Union Course, for its fate is sealed, and before a great while shall elapse elegant suburban residences will be erected on its site, and the Union Course, with all ite glorious remembrances and a turf history une- qualied by any other track in the country, will bea thing of the past, and the clattering of tue hoofs of such noble steeds as Eclipse and Henry and their iustrious compeers will be heard no longer. And such @ record as this course has of great events, but not Of fictitious time nor of short miles, will be ever remembered; for this track has always been noted | for the correctness of ita measurement of both time and distance. it has always been the gauge for trotting horses since ic became a trott¢ng track, and time made on it can always be made elsewhere. 1t has never yet deceived either the buyer or the seller when speed has been the criterion of a Lorse’s value. We have always been opposed to short tracks, as they are not only an Sunoyano, but used for pur- poses of fraud. Men are led into paying exurava- want prices for horses which they honestly believe have trotted a iull mile in a specified ume, but which, when called upon, they never repeat on a track of accurate measurement. Not only ig this prejudicial to the purchaser in this Way, but it also prevents his entering his horse in purses where the horse belonga, by giving him a reputation for speed which he does not possess, We hope that this Matter of short tracks will be looked into for the benefit of ali parties concerned, and the tracks throughout the country be adjusted to one common standard, so tiat in future there can be no just cause of complaint from any quarter. ‘Two trots came oif at tle Union Course yesterday afternoon, the first la | one for @ purse and stake of $500, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, in which four horses were engaged, und the other @ sweepstakes for $300, in which liree horses took part. ‘The races were highly interesting, although Dot particularly fast, and gave general satisfactfon, As they were speculative races, however, a great deal of money was won and lost on the results. We give the details of the day’s sport, commencing with THE FIRST TROT. ‘This was for a purse of $500, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, for which there were four entries—H. Casey's black gelaing Black van, R, Ogle’s bay gelding Ked Rover, Ben Daniel’s bay geiding Young Commodore, and R. J, Anderson’s chesinut geiding Willie Kimmy. Red Rover was a favorite in the pool sales at even against the feld, yrevious to the start, but after the first heat Black an sold for the most money in the pools. He won the second heat very (a and then became a great favorite over the fleld, Wlilie Kimmy was distanced in the second heat. Biack Dan then becawe @ great favorite, the odds being about $100 to $10 on him. He won the next heat and the race very Sensenderfer—hs curly locks glistening in the sun- light—followed with a good -‘umothy trimmer” to left field, on which he made second base and sent both McBride and Reach home, MoMullcn, by a safe hit to right fleld, got his base and sent Sensenderter home, Bat he himself did not succeed in getting around, as loran, sending the ball bounding lazily toward right short Heid, was fielded out at first hand- somely by Flaniy to i. Mills, This opening gave promise of a short and sharp encounter, and the next inning heightened this belief. if Milla bit solidly to centre fleld, got to first and Subsequently home, being helped around by a throw of Kadciitfe’s so wild that it could not be reached. Swandell was taken on the ily by the sphynx at firstbase. Eggler, after narrowly escaping being caught on a tip fy by Radciiife, sent a “brander,” to siort, the force of which McBride broke, but he could not hold it, and Eggier got to the base safely, He got to second on @ wild pitch and from there to home on another wi'd pitch, after which McMahon and Carleton were ‘wiged by Catnbert and Foran. Radclifo sent the ball on a high seale toward centre field, and, as two or three of the “Philama- clinkians” remarked, “he’s gone,” for Eggler was there. Berry sent the ball fying towards left field, and it was dropped 80 short that it was considered safe; but Swandell, by a hard run and a good low reach, captured it on the fy. Reach reached to fret base by sending the ball bounding “fair foul’ and beating Waiters on the run, as the latter, seein; Milis go for the ball, thought it was all right an did not siart quite soon enough, and Mills could not recover his equltbrium in ume to get to tie base. Wolters ran against and fell over Keach, but the latier was not seriously injured. McBride, by & repetition of his Iuck in the first Inning, got to first and sent Reach to second bat, but they were both left, ag Cuthbert, Upping the ball sharply, was captured by Miils, who Was playing very close, and aimost picked the ball off the bat. -Space forbids fuil details of the game. A careful analysis of the score given below will show that the playing —— Was prettyeven. A dropped fly ball by McMahon in the elgnth ioning gave the Athletics three rans and the lead, which tney maintained, ‘The baiting was vearly oa a par, and the fielding score shows 23 errors for the Athletics to 17 for the Mutuals, The majority of the former, however, were wild pitches, of which there were eleven; passed bails, ol which there were four, and wild throws, of which there were fife, each missed two fly catches and McMahon ditto. Flanly missed one, which wonld have been quiie noticeable had he eid tt. Carleton played poor! ud Seemed to be in hard luck. Hat- field, after the second inning, piayed very nicely, aud the rest of the nine, with the exceptions named, played very well. The entire Atiletic nine, except for the wild pitching and the misses referred to, piayed excellently throughout, and from the ap- pended score may be learned how and by whom the work was done, The position of umpire Is a ticklish and unpleasant one at any time, and continued “hints” may frighten good umpires of But Mr. Nelson must not feel hurt li he be told that he gaye too much “warning” to tie pitchers, ‘The score is as follows:— UAL.

The books were open for thefadmission of members, and alarge number of the heavy weights present signed their names and paid the initiation fee of five dollars. It was decided to purchase and fit up suitable grounds for the purposes of the association, A committee was "ppointed to decide upon the propriety of holding an annual ball m_ this city, m addition to the annual clambake in” Connecticut, and measures were taken toward a more effective eee ‘The infantile president, J. A. P. Flak ( pounds avoirdupols) Was there in all his glory, leaning lightly on his stat of office. The deposed president, Sydney Smith, has lost none of his natural gayety, while e lesser, but still not feather weights, contributed each his share to the pervading hilarity. Should the association decide to have that ball it will assuredly be avery big thing.’ May it take place, aud “may we be W nee,’ handily, and the backers of Red Rover lost heavily on the result, Ked Rover, however, did not seem to be in condition, as he did not sweat between the heats, First Heat.—Young Commodore won the pole, Willie Kimmy the second place, Black Dan the third and Red Rover outside. ‘the horses had a very good start, Black Dan taking use lead, Youug Commodore second, Red Rover third aud Wille Kimmy fourth.
