Bioux CITV , May 20. [ Special Telegram to Tun Dae. ] It-was n cold , disagreeable day for base ball , nnd the Omaha victors lioipcd to make it still colder for thu locals. The first inning virtually oudod the game. In it the visitors took the load and kept it up to the ond. The locals-wont to bat and were retired m short order. The vlultora were not long In showing that they meant busi ness. Mossltt opened with n base hit to right , stele second and took third on Crotty's wild throwovor second. Cleveland followed With a light grounder to Cline , which ho lumbiod so effectively as to allow Cleveland to roach first , whllo Mcs- eitt scored. Cline throw homo to c tcb Mcssltt , but the ball wns got back to Mcond in tlmo to catch- Cleveland , who wns attempting to steal in. Strauss struck n hot groundcr.which Bradley allowed to roll Jjotwoon his logs , nnd Crooks advanced him to second by another grounder , which Bros- nan lot roll uy him , und before It was iloidod bock , Strauss was standing at third. Crooks was put out trying to steal second , but in the operation Strauss scored. Coonoy took his base on balls , but Andrews was thrown out nt first on n weak hit to short. The locals lind received live lubberly errors by which tiso visitors had made thrco runs. This de moralized the former so that they could not pull themselves together , although they nroldod thereafter amassing such n multi tude of errors. The visitors , on the other hand , increased the effectiveness of their play , and put up a gnmu far superior in every point. There were no brilliant opl- eodes nor incidents , for the reason that the homo club did not put up n strong enough came to call out such displays. They cither uulod out on strikes or sent out puny hits welch were neatly fielded to first In good tlmo. They did not score till the fifth inning , when Bradley got first base on balls and Crotty was struck by a pitched ball. Web ber's line hit to right scored Bradley , and Crotty was brought homo from third by Cllno's hit to left. In the seventh Inning the ether run was scored by Crotty , who pot first on balls , second on Siebol's sacrifice , and homo on Webber's safe hit to right. In the meantime , however , the visitors , by hard bitting , hod tallied up six runs. They pounded out sixteen base hits on Webber's pitching , and the only effort in the eighth in ning was to shorten the game. The homo club , however , was weakened by Burke being disabled by a sere eye , so that Cline played short-stop und Seibol took his plaeo in the eighth. If the homo club wins anymore moro games from the Omaha visitors , it will have to play better ball than It did to-day. Score : 8UMMAUV. Earned runs Omaha 0. Two-base hits Clark.

[ Special to Tim BKE.I But few of tlio many people who visit Fort Lcavcnworth avail themselves ot the opportunity to see n post chapel that is not excelled In interest by nny In this coun try. A plnco doubly snored , first , because it is dedicated to the worship of the living God ; second , because of the many memorials therein , memorials that toll of duty done in the face of death , of death mot in upholding the country's honor. The post cbnpol at Fort Loavonworth Is on the cast sldoof Scottnvonuo , n short dlstanco- froni nil that remains of the old fort , nnd almost opposite the triangle on which the Grant monument Is to bo erected. The quarters on Scott avenue nro occupied by officers on duty nt headquarters department of the Missouri. The roadway and the lawns on either side nro well kept. At this season of the year , this nvonuo presents n beautiful appearance with its prand old trees In full leaf , Its closely shaven grass , nnd the many beautiful ilowers that nro lu bloom. At the north end stands the chnpol. It is of grey stone , of alternate layers rough and Htnootb , nnd has a cathedral roof , but no tower. Tno west end is surmounted by n whlto cross , tuo emblem of Christianity. Over tha vostlbulo outranco , in front , are two beautiful rose bushes , on either side woodbine nnd Virginia creepers of luxuriant growth. . The roof on the insldo is finished in hard yellow pine , oiled , the pews and altar decora tions nro of black walnut , oiled. It has twelve cathedral and eight dormer windows , nnd n largo circular window at each end , all filled with stained glass ot appropriate de sign. It is thirty foot wldo by eighty feet loug nnd will scat about COO people. This chapel is thoroughly military. Two small gun metal mortars stand on either side of the nltar , six six-pound mountain howitz ers support the slue lamps. These mortars and howitzers shine lilco burnished gold. Thrco chandeliers in the center uro also used when night service is bold. All around the walls in groups of three , the national colors predominating , nro flags representing the throe arms of the service , cavalry , in fantry , and artillery. The lntoro.it hero centers mainly In the different tablets sotIn the walls. "Enough of merit has each honored name Toehino untarnished on the rolls of fame , Aud ad < l now lustro to the historic page. " At the front , ever the entrance , Is a largo , dark , morale tablet , oval shaped , bearing the inscription : "In memory of the officers and men of the Seventh cavalry , killed in action , Wnshltn , I.

" The writer was well acquainted with Captain Bennett when ho was stationed at Fort Loavenworth. A moro gallant gontlomun or courageous soldier never graced a drawing room or led an infan try charge.

Ivlns , editor of the Athens ( Tcnn. ) Post , who recently aban doned democracy nnd brought his paper , ono of the oldest in the south , ovor.to the repub lican party , has boon in Washington several days , looking nftor Rome private business. In nnswor to n question to-day ns to the polit ical situation in his section , ho said : "Protection as n distinct.policy of govern incut to bo fixed nnd continued , has bcon growing constantly slnco its very thorough discussion last year , nnd Is now the question uppermost in the southern mind. Tills Is particularly true in Virginia , Tennessee nud Alabama , whore the immense natural wealth ot iron , coal , copper , zinc , marble , slate , timber , etc. Is yet to bo uncovered nnd util ized. This wilt bo done , wo think , under the wlso system of laying discriminating duties that has already made the country great nnd prosperous , nnd our people nro coining to un derstand this more and moro as they nro able to get out of the heavy atmosphere of the the past. The old Una whigs are still for a tariff , though some of thorn are unable to break the bonds of sentiment , which alone holds them to democracy. "Happily , the younger clement in the south nnd that element is coming to the front is giving thought to material progress , to the industrial advancement of our section , There are thousands of men nil ever the south who do not bollevo in the democratic doctrlno of accidental protection for rovcnuo only. They know that means free trade nnd that free trade means industrial destruction. A positive system that protects and thereby develops Internal affairs will find supporters in the coming contest in these men of whom I speak the men of young blood who look ahead into the future nnd what it has in store , rather than backward into a past that was full enough , God knows , of bitterness , misery nud woo. "I hnvo faith that the events of last week in Now York will result in much good to ward dissipating sectional prejudice. No such thing should exist. * Wo want a national union. I believe Dopew's oration will prove a great loveing force in the work on band. The south is a grand section of a grand conn- try , and republicanism there is growing fast , notwithstanding what the southern gover nors" nave said. I think Tennessee can bo safely counted a republican state In future calculations. "Alabama is now in a condition of political revolution. Virginia gives us ox-Govornor Walker as thn advance guard of a deter mined break for progress ana prosperity , and , in fact , democracy is trembling nil round. The president is a patriot , and with both houses of concress at his back ho should have no trouble in satisfying the country. He is the most popular man in America to-day , and. I have confidence , will become almost a pubilo Idol. "Democrats nro as anxious to see official changes now as are the republicans. I hope they will bo made rapidly. It is a question of party responsibility , nnd the country , having voted for a change , expects to BOO it very promptly dono. Any other policy is nl- luost a proclamation that the president wns elected bv a party too illiterate and poorly qualified In business ways aud general intel ligence to furnish men competent to fill the oOlces. 1 am in no sense a spoilsman and lor myself would accept no office under the nun , nor have I any favors of that kind to ask for any ono else but I think the reten tion of democrats now in tno government places is a reflection upon the republican party , which , fairly interpreted , would seem to ony 'there is no merit , cnpucity or respon sibility in the household ; wo must go out doors for confidential friends. ' It is right to go slow ; and the president , I presume , is onlv getting the proper 'lay of the land. ' "The negro problem , about whicti-wo hearse so much , will solve itself. The uccro is at borne in the south , nnd although Governor Alcorn thinks poorly of him , ho will work out bis own matciial salvation. All ho asks , I think I may say , Is that ho be protected in civil nnd political rights. In social affairs tne negro is unobtrusive to a striklngdccrco. The race has made wonderful progress and deserves much credit. Whenever education has been possible the negro has developed good strong Intelligence , and has done in his unlettered condition about us well as white men similarly situated. Any political move ment , south or north , looking to the elimina tion of the negro from participation in party affairs is worse than absurd. No practical politician would think of such a thin ? , und no humanitarian will now attempt to circum scribe and drive backward u race of people making such rapid progress in tbo ascending scale of civilization und enlightenment. "I have no doubt of tlio future in politic * ; , so far ns pertains to the south. With pro tection and education in thu forefront and a sound financial policy by the administration , the republican party will carry three , at least , of the southern states in the next con test , and the solid south , us a political actor , will bo heard of no moro forever. Progress , prosperity , the enlightenment of the masses und the building up of a grander country than wo have yet seen will follow. " Tlio discussion In the Caniidlan parliament regarding the president's proclamation , warning marauders to stcar clear of Bohrlng Sea , and ugriust trespassing on our scaling grounds , is amusing. The ignorance shown in charging Secretary Blalno with being tbo cauBo of tha president's proclamation , is only in keeping with their Ignorance on the seal subject generally. The president's procla mation was issued according to law , in com pliance with an act of congress passed the last day ot the last session of congress. Kannucks will please take notice. Meeting Mr. T. F , Hynn , of Indiana , a former special ugont of tbo treasury depart- partmont to Seal Islands , your correspondent ashed what ho thought of the Canadian seal protest. Hu replied : ' The Canadians , true to tne English Idea , want the earth ; that's ull. Besides , it scorns hardly possible for them to separate In their minds thn seal from the everlasting cod. If you desire to glvo the public , especially the Canadians , some information that will show them the difference between cod fishing and seal hunting , I rofcr you to u batch of evi dence taken before a committee of our last congress on our merchant nmrlnu and seal flsBeries , " Loaning up the book of evidence alluded to , the letter to the secretary of the treasury is found , the last portion of which roads as follows : 'The number of seals taken by marauders from Seal Island , or in the waters near by , nro very few in comparison to the gront num ber taken lu the water from iifty to sixty miles south of the islands. Old seal hunters seldom bother the Inlands , nnd from Informa tion to bo had 95 per cunt of seals taken by seal hunters in Bchring Sea uro taken at a distance ot from foi ty to sovcnty-flvo miles south of St. George's iHlandsad. "Tho mule seal ( the class taken by the Alaska Commercial company for their ekius ( is lazy , and sticks close to the islands dur ing the summer stuv.and but for heavy rains , or a hot sun , would seldom leave the island at all ; while the cows are constantly on the go to the feeding grounds , leaving their young to the watchful care of the old bull Hoalc. While tlio female seals are protected by law from bolng killed , within the past seventeen years tuo lessees have taken about 1,700.000 male seals , , and yet the Increase of female seals on the breeding grounds Is not very perceptible , showing , I think , that they have b6on taken ns I have indicated , by being moro ut the mercy of the hunters than the male seal. If there Is no law to prevent the wholesale slaughter of the female seal , tholr extermination within ten , or at tbo furthest , twenty year is certain. " The action ot the trustees of tno Corcoran art gallery in practically barring out the art ntudanU by the absurd rules which they Imvo adopted , from the benefits of this Insti tution , is causing n revival among local art ists Interested in nil subjects relating to art outside of the gallery , nnd has perhaps , ilnno moro towards bringing the students of the pallet nnd brush closer together tlmn they have bcon tn n long tlmo. A number of promising young artists are in this city , nnu among those who have recently nddocl materially to his reputation , Is Mr. Louis P. Splunor.

Ho has done Bomn remarkably clover work in this line , nnd has painted A great many stiU-llfo pic tures which Imvo attracted much attention. His latest effort Is a now conception of nn old subject. On n canvas 02x05 inches ho has depicted Charlotte Cordny during the last moments of her 11 fo.
