Omnhii > 1 , Milwaukee 2.
By far the best and most Interesting game
over witnessed on the Omaha grounds was
played at tbo park yesterday afternoon be
tween the Omahas and the Milwaukee team.
It was a fourteen Inning coutcst and was
fought as stubbornly as was the battle that
sent Napoleon to St. Helena.
The Milwaukcos expected to win , there
can be no doubt of that. They entered the
ground full of hope. The pranced out on the
diamond llko an aggrcatlon of bronchos.
Even the antique Sutton and thoantcdlluvlun
Schocic did n little cavorting. But they loft
the field chagrined and defeated aud woefully -
fully afflicted with Charlie-horse.
Omaha was the first In , as usual , with
Coonoy at the bat. Ilo was hit by a pitched
ball and immediately stole second and third.
Cleveland got a base on balls and stole sec
ond. Strauss then came to the pluto unu
carvoa thrco wide gashes in the ambient at
mosphere and retired to make way for Jack
Crooks , who sent a long ily to center. Silch
nailed ft , all right , but before it coula bo
thrown in Coonoy had crossed the plate.
That ended the run-getting tor-Omaha tem
porarily , for the next seven innings were
seven ciphers long enough to make a neck
lace.
lace.Milwaukee
Milwaukee began making runs in their
half of the first. Poorman got a base on
balls and stole second. On Lowe's out at
ilrst ho got third , and after Shock had gone
out at ilrst scoicd on a single by Sutton.
That settled Milwaukee for the time , and
their next live innings resembled a small
nest of Plymouth Rock embryos.
But in the seventh they piled up a little
obliquy on the heads of the unprotected
Omahas. Mordancy and Silch had both
boon retired when Alberts cauio to bat. lie
had a wicked look in his still grey eye , and
his general 'appearance foreboded evil.
Waiting for a good ball , he stood like a statue
of AJax giving electricity the horse laugh ,
but at last , when it did come , ho whaled out
a homo run that made all the "fans" tired ,
and the crank who Bits behind the scorers
actually closed his mouth and wept a silent
tear.

Tlio eighth inning was a blank for both
teams , but In the ninth tbo Omaha's tied the
score and the mercury of the Omaha enthu
siasts' expectations wont up to the 110 notch.
Crooks , the Ilrst man at bat didn't bat , but
bis inslduous smile so rattled the Milwaukee
pitcher that ho gave him his base on bulls.
Crooks then stole second , \Vulsh went nut on
a fly , Andrews fanned , but Naglo saved tbo
game right thorp and brought Jack home on
a'sovonty-ilvo-cont single to loft Held.
Tlio crowd cachlnated , howled , pirouetted
and enjoyed themselves in divers fashions
and then settled themselves tor the tenth
inning. They got it , and four more , and
novel1 did two teams blay ball with more
vim. The inllold fairly ate up base hits ,
Whllo the outfield harvested Hies with great
precision and exhilaration. But llnally the
end came. It was in the fourteenth inning.
Andrews led off with n peed single , which
so rattled Davies that ho gave Nnijlo n base
on balls. Canavan hit to the pitcher and
Was thrown out at first , and then Clarke
made a two-badger aud Andrews and Nuglo
came homo.
Milwaukee made a good effort in their
bait , but failed.

ALL ) SAINTS WIN.
A Cricket Game nt the Fnir Ground *
Yesterday Afternoon.
There was a game of cricket ployed at the
fair frounds yesterday afternoon between
two teams composed of members of All
Saints church and Trinity cathedral congre
gations. The game was won by the All
Saints vouug men , despite the fact that
Jack Prince , the champion bowler of the
world , was In the box no , not iu the box
despite the fact that ho bowled for Trinity.
Crickott is an odd gamo. It appears to bo
a combination of croquet , base ball and tbo
time-honored sport of our childhood , "Uvo-
old-oat. " The ball is as bard and has no
more elasticity than a bone , whllo its hard
ness is equalled ouly by the crystalized bit
of carbon known as the diamond. The bats
resemble tailors' press boards , and with ono
of them In his hands any base ball ploy or
could make a base hit every time. The
pitcher , and there are two of him , it not
called a pitcher ; ho is a bowlor. The catcher
is a wicket keeper. There are also two of
him. Instead of right Held , loft center , Ilrst ,
second and third basemen , there are points ,
long points and short points , long slips and
short slips , long off aud short off. square
legs and long legs , and other articles too
numerous to mention.
Ouo inning Is a gamo. It generally takes
all day to play ono inning.
When ouo side goes to bat they stay tboro
until ten men have gone out on flies , boon
thrown or bowled out. Being bowled out
consists hi missing the ball and having your
wicket knocked down , Ono never strikes
out In cricket. Ho can swipe away at the
ball until ho ftoU weary ; as long as his
wicket standb ho is in the gahie. And ho
judge * Ills own base hits. When ho hits the
lull u whack ha can ruu or not , und when he
yets Hturtcd ho can tnuUo as many runs as ho
desires , provided the ball does not ( fct In In
tlmo to put him out. Ono man iniulo five
runs yesterday on ono hit , and then wasn't
retired ,
And there are other points of Interest.
When n ball hits u batter In the leg and
glides off ncross the grcon sward ho can
make runs until ho can not rest unless someone
ono 1'nocks down his wlckot. The catcher
does not wear a chest protector ; the batter
wears them. Ho wears them on his shins ,
for If the ball hits ono or the other of these
portions ot hl anatomy ho U ttxod for nt
least two weeks. Tha batter also wears
gloves , on the bock of his hands. Ho has to ,
to protect hu knuckles. That in all about
the game.
All Saints went to bat first yesterday , rind
bo f ore they retired made 71 runs , including
byes , log byes and wldos. Such brlo-vbrao
as that all counts. Then Trinity wont and
the All Saints knocked them cold. Jaok
Prince bowled out on the Ilrst ball and loft
In disgust , Only ono man did work worth
mentioning. Hero is the score :

the first place in tlio contest to couio oft In
December or November , as the case may bo ,
nasuroyour correspondent that the major's
strength will surprise the other candidates
for the speakorahip , but It is admitted on all
hands that the vote of the state of Now York
will prove a very powerful factor in deciding
this contest. Just after the close of the lust ,
session of congress Mr. Hcldcn , the member
from Syracuse. Invited his repub
lican colleagues to dlno with him
nt the Arlington house huro , and
at that dinner It was decided that the New
York state delegation should stand as a unit
for the ofllcors ot the house who might bo
agreed UJKJU at that tlmo. Names were not
mentioned and there was nothing to bind
any ono of the gentlemen present to any par
ticular Candida to.
Slnco that tlmo it has boon learned that a
careful canvass has boon made of the repre
sentatives from that state in the next house ,
and that Congressman Hoed , of Maine , has
ut least two-thirds of the votes.
licsidcs this , Mr. Hood is understood to
have the most cordial support of two power
ful members of the Pennsylvania delegation ,
Binghaui , of Philadelphia , and Bayno , of
Plttahurg. Those gentlemen without doubt
would bo able to carry almost the solid dele
gation of their state with them lor Air. Rood ,
and this will give the Pine Tree state man a
practically solid endorsement from the coat.
The light without doubt at the present
tlmo lies _ between Burrows , MeKinloy
and lleoa , with the chuncos strong
ly in Uccd's favor. However , the
narrow margin by which the republicans
hold the hnuse , and the somewhat antago
nistic fooling which exists in some quarters
against Mr. Rued may loud to the selection
of a dark horse , and in this event either
Cannon , of Illinois , or Henderson , of Iowa ,
would loom up conspicuously.
The talk about a southern revolt is hum
bug. Mr. Brower. of North Carolina , who
proposes to run u little side show caucus all
to himself , will not have enough followers
to give him any hold on the balance of
power
The fact that the , four , now states will in
all probability add.ot least four to the re
publican majority , fwillrob | the Hrower re
volt of any lorniiuables , and practically assure -
sure an early organlzatlqn with the republi
cans solidly in command.
The latest report In the Now York Herald
of to-day , to the effect * that the four Mis
souri congressmen propose to bolt the c.iu-
cus and to side with Hrowor , is utterly
without foundation , all four of the republi
cans from that state ; having expressed their
determination to abide by any action which
the caucus mav tnkp. I/i / f.ict all the re
ports to the effect 'that there will bo any
difficulty on the part of the republicans in
organizing the housu arises from the desire
of the opposition , that this may bo
the case , but , there is every
reason to believe that wtiilo there
wilt bo a spirited vqntost for the speaker-
ship. This ixK. iuLwlll Jbe curried on ia the
the most frle'tidly. rfpjirlt. und its outcome will

Al'PBALS AXI > DECISIONS.
The secretary of the interior has decided
the appeal of H. H. Urcnizor from the deci
sion of the general land olllco , sustaining the
action of the local otHcors rejecting his ap
plication to make a homestead entry upon
the northwest quarter of section 27 , towa-
shiu 30 , range 0 , Valentino lana district.
Urcnizer in 1834 Hied a soldier's declaratory
statement for a certain tract in section 2J ,
towjishin 29 , range 21 , same district. Later
in the same year he made his pre-emption of
the same tract , but relinijuished it in No
vember , 1SS3 , and the decision of the local
otlicers and of the general land ofllco reject
ing his second application was based on the
ground that by his soldier's declaratory
statement no had exhausted his rights under
the homestead law. The act of congress ,
which provided "that any person who has
not heretofore perfected title to a tract df
laud , of which he has made entry under the
homestead law , may make homestead entry
of not exceeding one-quarter section of pub
lic land subject to such entry , etc. , " is cited
us authority by the secretary for overruling
the decision appealed from and allowing
lircnizor's application to enter the track de
scribed.
The secretary has also considered tbo ap
peal of Thomas \Vellmau from the decis
ion of the general land ofllco in the con
tested case of Heliman vs Joseph M. Hop-
good , reversing the action of the local ofllco
and dismissing the contest ngalnst Hop-
good's timber culture entry No. 7037 for the
northeast quarter of section 18 , township 7 ,
range 1C , liloomington land district , Ne
braska. The secretary is of the opinion that
the cntryinun has honestly endeavored to
comply with the requirements of the timber
culture law , and that the contestant failed to
provo by a preponderance of evidence the al
legations of his iifllJavit of the contest , and
therefore atllrms the decision dismissing the
contest.
In the contest of Harris L. Emmert vs
Hugh Jordan , involving the northeast quar
ter of section 10 , township 09 , range 40 , Dos
Moinoj land district , low.i , n timber culture
entry for which was made by Jordan on Feb
ruary -3,1830. Upon the motion of the con
testants that the department dismiss the ap
peal of the heirs of Hugh Jordan from the
decision of the general land olllco holding
Jordan's entry for cancellation , the secretary
of the Interior holds that the appeal is do
fcctivo In that it fails to show the muno of
the entryman. und for this reason ho is not
inclined to dismiss said appeal at this time.
The parties representing to bo "tho holra of
Hugh Jordan will be required to tile in
the department , within twoaty days from
notice , a statement under oath giving the
names of the parties taking this appeal.
Within the same time they bo required to
file satisfactory proof of the death of the
said Jordan , giving the data thereof and giv
ing also tbo names of his heirs. If the proofs
should not bo filed the appeal will bo further
considered , uthervvUe it must bo dismissed. "

WASIUNOTON , D. C. , August 10. The de
partment of agriculture's crop report for
August makes tbo condition of corn 04.3 ,
sprint' wheat 31.2 , spring rye 9 < * > .4 , oats 33.3 ,
barley 90.0 , buckwheat 05.3 , potatoes 94.5 ,
hay 04.5 , tobacco 84.1.
Corn has mode an Improvement during
the past month of 4 } points , and now is loss
than ono point lower than at the same time
last year. The August return of Its condition
baa not stood more than ono point higher
during the past nine years and the present
return has been equalled but thrco times
during that period. The improvement is
quite generally distributed throughout the
country. In n few states , especially along
tlio Atlantic const , the condition has been
somewhat reduced from the oxtesalvo rain
fall and the local Hoods and ovcrllows , whllo
in many other districts where nn improve
ment is noted , similar causes have prevented -
vented full cultivation and have thus lowered
what otherwise might have boon a nearly
perfect condition.
In Ohio. Michigan and Indiana the results
of the early unfavorable meteorological con
dition is being overcome nna crop prospects
are rapidly improving. The drought which
in portions of the northwest threatened crops
bus boon broken by rain , and the present re
turns show a high condition in that section.
The figures for the principal corn states
are :
Ohio and InJIana 87 , Illinois 90 , Iowa 100 ,
Missouri L'O ' , KAiist.8 10. ? , Nebraska 101 , Texas
9J. Tennessee OS , Kentucky 97.
The general average for seven surplus
states is 1)5 ) , against 90 last month , and 90 for
August , IbSS Spring wheat suffered a fur
ther falline iff this month , the decline
amounting to nearly 3 points , a condition
nearly 3 points above that of 1837 and 1 above
that of 183(5. ( With these exceptions it is the
lowest since the very small crop of 1881.
Minnesota records BO mo improvement
since the last report , but in Dakota there is
u declines from the same cause noted last
month. Dakota is" now the largest spring
wheat state , and its very low condition re
duces tlio general average considerably. In
the rest of the spring wheat districts the
condition is generally good , perhaps above
the average of the recent scrips of years. The
averages in the principal states are : Wiscon
sin 90 , Iowa 94 , Nebraska 91 , Dakota 57 ,
Washington 73. The quality of the crop will
bo better than usual , especially in the ex
treme northwest.
Rye and barley each declined 1 per cent ,
the falling off being mainly in Nebraska and
Dakota.
The condition of oats , while two points
lower than reported last month , is higher
than in August of any year since 1835. In
many sections the crops suffered from heavy
ruins about harvest time , and tho-next re
port may show damage from this cause not
yet reported.
Potatoes have maintained their high con
dition of a month ago and now stand one
point higher than at this date last year.
Tobacco has fallen off materially on no-
count of the excessive rain. The averages in
the leading states are : Pennsylvania 03 ,
Indiana 55 , Virginia SO , Kentucky 81 , Ohio

CHICAGO , August 10. [ Special Telegram to

Croolcs , ox-Governor Charles Foster and
others ot the Sioux commission urrlvoil hero
to-day. Major Warner said :
"Our success with the Sioux was something -
thing to ho proud of. Wo ohtalncd the sig
natures of over 05 per coat of all the Indians
above the ago of nlxtoeu yours , and did it
without much trouble. At Standing , wlioro
nil previous attempt * had mot with defeat ,
wo were received with open arms. The In-
dlans are certainly sntlsllod , or wo could not
have obtained so many signatures. The
same thing coula not Uuvo boon accomplished
among whlto men. "
"Have you in your possession the rolls oon-
tnlnlng the stgnnttircst"
"No , they were loft with the Indian agents.
After the commission malces its report to the
president ho will rccolvo the rolls , and whenever -
over ho chosos ho can , by issuing u procliinu-
tlon , open the reservation. "
"What did the government gain by the
worlc of the commission I11
"Tho Indians give up something 1IU
0,000,000 acres of land , or au area about ous
and ouo-half times as largo as Alassachu-
setts. A largo tract , It seems , but there Is
enough loft of the original Stoux reservation
to give 600 acre * to ox-ory man , woman and
child of the Sioux nation. The old system of
ono great reservation has boou abolished ,
The Indians will hereafter bo located la six
nccnclesRosobudPlnoRldgo , , Santee , Lower
Brulo , Cheyenne and Standing Hook. "
"How will the change afloot the Indians ! "
"Tho whole proceeding was ouo oE the
most important stops taken toward advanc
ing the civilization of the Sioux nation. Too
much land has boon the trouble with them
heretofore. Five hundred acres to a person
will bo aufllclcnt to gruzo all the cattle they
will over own. "
"It Is wonderful , said ox-Governor Foster ,
that the two greatest loafers among the
Indian ! ) are the best known , Slttliijr Dull
and Rod Cloud. They are both men with
loss influouco than any other loader. At
Choyeuno when wo opnnod up thrco bucks
Jumped up and threatened to brain the first
man Unit signed the rolls. Afterward these
same bucks signed. This only shows how
they were inllueucod by proiwr treatment.
Are the lands to bo offered for sale , the
garden spots of the earth that they have
boon represented to bol" Governor Foster \ 1
was asked. "Thoro are some good grazing lil
land aud some good fanning lands. " "How " '
much of the lands cau bo used for
agricultural products ! "
" 1 do not care to say much on that point.
I am an agent of the government. Tno
lands will bo for sale and it would perhaps
not bo proper for mo to run them down. "
"But you would not , by being silent , desire -
sire the people to think that you sanctioned
any unreliable statements , if such have boon
made ! "
"Well , mv Impression is that they arc not
worth much for agricultural purposes. Perhaps -
haps uno-fourth of the whole cannot bo used
for grazing and agriculture , being arid
ground , and of the three-fourths remaining
the greater portion would bo best for grazing.
The cllmatio conditions will have to change
before agriculture could bo a success. For
instance , during July the thermometer ran
up to 11U degrees and a het wave scorched
everything and blasted the crops. The rain
fall is not steady enough and Irrigation ia
necossury. The Missouri river could bo
used for this. The stream Is about three-
fourths of n inilo wide and can ho used for
little else. But they can raisn line vegetables
out there. For grazing , though , there can
bo nothing said against the country. The
grass is cured standing , and cattle live
through the winter by eating the nutritious
dried grass in tlio snow fields. "
The governor said the Indians were rap
idly advancing in civilization. In the Santco
agency the Indians built tlioir own houses ,
tilled the soil , were citizens' dress , and sent
