The game between the Omahas and Leav-
enworths yesterday drew bOO spectators to
the ball park. The contest proved one of the
rnostoxcltlni ; of the season and ought to
have resulted In n victory for the Omahas ,
because they both outbattcd and outlielded
the visitors. But costly errors by Walsh In
the ninth and eleventh Innings cost them the
game. Walsh has been playlnif In bad luck
for some time and yestciday was not an ex
ception , He had two balls which were
properly his , jump from clods In the uneven
ground over his head. On the ninth Inning ,
when the score was 8 to 5 In fa'vor of the
Omahas and It appeared as If they had vic
tory In their grasp , he fumbled a hot ball
with two men on bases and allowed
the rum to commence. The visitors
piled up three as a consequence of that ono
lueak , und tlitis continued the struggle be
yond the usual limit. On the eleventh In
ning , with two men out , ho lost a ball just
long onouuh to allow a man on third base to
get In.
But It was not altogether Walsh's bad
play Ing which on tor the Lcavenworths.
They had a peculiarly strong iiinot luck at
the right tlmo. With two men out on the
last Inning , Fit/.slmmons , who never before
made a thicc-baso hit In his life , sent the
ball amotiK the carriages outside the ropes In
tbo loft Held. It was that advantage or good
luck acd one Omaha man's poor luck which
secured the visitors tlio game.
Noticeable good plays were a left-hand
catch by Mcsslt , of tlio homo team , on second
base , and Dwier's four or live stops of wild
balls which were thrown him from third
base and short-slop.
The following Is the score :

The Concert and Walk To-nlnht.
The tact that pools are being sold In Chicago
cage and Kansas City on the six days go-as-
you-please , which begins at the exposition
building nt midnight to-night , is sufficient
evidence < f tbo Interest felt away from
Omaha In the event. Interest does not na
at home. Two prominent Omaha men of the
sport-loving fraternity made a wacer yester
day on the result. Five hundred dollars was
the amount of the bet and the distance
named was .130 miles. 1'ho record shows
that thp best distance for 144 hours of walkIng -
Ing Is 520 mile' ' , while In go-aa-you-please the
distance covered was 010 mlle.s. So It would
appear that there is ground for a ditfeienco
of opinion. Ono ol the contestants. Huff
man , says that he Is bound to beat the best
record. If ho docs so he will earn the extra
Sl.OOO offeicd by the management for the per

WASHINGTON , June 4. [ Special Telegram
to the BF.K. ] An ingenious attempt to com
mit a forgery on the sergeant-at-arms of the
house of representatives was peipetrated a
short tliuu ago. It was foiInnately dis
covered In time to prevent any loss. About
thrco weeks a o a letter was received at the
olllce dated from New York and bearing the
New York post mark. It purported to como
from Congtcssman S. S. Cox , and as ho Is
known to use a private secretary the body
was written In ono handwriting and the sig
nature In an entirely dillcrent one. It asked
that the sum of S247 bo paid to the order of
Mr. Lcatch , clerk of the Rlcgs house , In pay
ment of his ( Mr. Cox's ) account there. Ten
days after a letter canto signed In Mr.
Leatch's name and enclosing a receipt for
S'.M7. This note , which was brought by a
district messenger , stated that tlio writer
supposed that Mr. Lerdom had by this time
received an Intimation from Congressman
Cox that \\asauthorl7cd to pay the sum
mentioned to Lcatch and asked that the
money should be sent bv the bcaicr.or If that
was not convenient , that a check- should
be made out payable to the bearer , The sus
picions of botli Mr. Loedoni and the paying
teller of the olllco were , however , aroused by
the fact that tills method of doing business
was cntlrelv unusual with Mr. Cox , who was
accustomed whan paying his bills to give a
check for the amount due. Accordingly Mr.
Lecdom sat down to write a note to Mr.
Leatch , saying that ho could not pay the bill
until the end of the month , which was two
days distant While ho was engaged In
writing this , however , another note came ,
also sinned tn Mr. Leatch's name , asking
that the money be not paid to the messenger ,
as the writer himself would bo up at the
olllco and get It In person , as he did not want
any one to know about the matter since U
was entirely a personal atfalr between Mr.
Cox and himself. A visit to tlio lUggs house
soon thowed that some one was trying to
Impersonate Mr. Loatch and a telegram to
Mr. Cox revealed the fact that tic had never
sent any such letter as that imputed to
him. Steps were Immediately taken to
secure the arrest ot the Imposter ,
but up to the present they have been
fruitless. If there had not been some unus
ually sharp men In the sereeant-at-arms of
fice , the plausible story would have cost the
olllce a nice little sum. This Is the third
time within the last year that attempts liavo
been made by means of forceries to secure
government casli from this olllce. It Is
nearly a year ngo since a check was present
ed by the runner of a bank in this city for
something over a 8100. The signature was a
very clumsy forgery of General hone's
name , and It was at once detected. The next
attempt occurred two or three months ago
and Congressman Honk's name was the one
used. The forger In tills Instance was an
Ingenious follow. After writing out the
check he made It appear as though It had
Deen handled a'eootl deal. Then ho wrote
_ . _ _ ng
Highly original endorsement and the fact
: liat Mr. Lceflham's name was spelt wrong ,
the forger induced some tradesman to buy
the check , which was for a comfortable sum ,
and cleared out.

his conviction was that the manage-
medt of strictly Irish affairs by strictly
Irish authority would be ically effective and
acceptable to the Irish nation. Referring to
the actions of the liberals , ho said Lord liar-
tlngton's action had tended to the extinc
tion of moderate liberalism. Chamicilaln
was more In conformity with the Ki'iieral
greed , yet his opposition would drive the lib
eral Into a position which would acccnuate
the strenth of radicalism. Coercion Itself
seemed likely to bo blocked by their attempt to
ruin a man having the con II-
denco of 0,000,000 of people , What
was wanted was a clear character for the
Kngllsh government which had been dis
graced throughout the world bv Its treatment
of lieland for seven centuries. Ho was
unable to piesent or suggest a mode
of representation when homo rule

It the czar meets the two emper
