wcro vorillolwhen the city dele

that Stevens \vai tlio coming man , when
Delegate L.vnu discovered that Stevens bad
not dccUrcd himself in favor of the principles
enunciated la thopcoplo's Independent plafc-

This move caused n general stampede

attorney failed to bring- forth a man to de

Binccrity and allegiance to the party , and he
xvai nominated by a round majority

The St. Pauls went out to the ball park yes
terday afternoon haughty and delhmt and
with a very revengeful look in their .Apostolic
oycj.
Omaha was getting a trifle too familiar , and
they determined to take a little of the conceit
out of her.
But when they left the Hold they were as
quiet and subdued as so many lambs belong
ing to Mary.
For the Black Sox gave them another lam
basting.
Bight to two that was the exact dimen
sions of the victory.
Easy , wasn't ' it I
However , it was anything but a lively or
Interesting game , both teams going at their
worlc like section hands with a big cut before
them.
Clarke was in the box for the locals and
pitched about the best game of the. season. It
caino high , but the management had to
have it.
Two hits was the sum total made off of him
n three-bagger bv Abbey and n scratch
single by McLaughlm ,
That shows what this young man can do
when hois compelled : to.
The lidding on both sides , but particularly
on Omaha's , was quick , sharn nnd brilliant.
It was another lovely day lor ball playing ,
and yet the audience was as light as a s'traw
hat.
hat.Hut
Hut it's ' all right. - Omaha won again , and
tills afternoon the town will turn out.
Omaha opened up with a vigor that was as
refreshing us the evening breeze from Cut-
Ofl lake. i
Mcoklu tried hard , but ho couldn't "put
'em over , " and Canavan trotted to llrst on
balls.
Ho stele second , and then Walsh , Kearns
and Cleveland followed with safe drives in
breathless succession , and the three llrst
runners sailed Into port by easy stages.
Newman advanced Cleveland to second on
his out to Hawes , : and after Andrews had
also perished at first , Grover caino homo on a
lucky slnRla by Will ! * .
It was a hot one , with red side whiskers on
It , and Colonel Sweeney allowed it to get
away from him.
Moran's high fly to Lord Murphy ended
the Inning.
For the vlsitory Abbey got his base on
balls. Dad's ' convolutions
spherical , gyra
tions and reticulations were too soon for the
sluggers from the homo of the walrus nnd
the polar bear.
The second , too , began auspiciously for the
Black Sox , for Clarke's grounder was fum
bled long enough oy MeLaughlin to allow
him to ranch llrst in safety. But nothing
came of this piece of good luck , as the next
three men went down like so many McGSin-
ties before any ono was oven ready for the
performance.
The visitors' half was marked by a neat
double play bv Clovelnnd and Andrews. Me-
Laughlm made a hit. O'Brien then sent a
foul to Cleveland which tlio
high , ex-presi
dent embraced , and by a deft throw caught
Mao off of first.
It was brilliantly executed , and n few mild
mannered yells in tlio grand stand startled
the sparrows from among the rafters.
Howes followed suit on a foul to Jtloran ,
and as ho turned fiercely and endeavored to
knockdown the grand stand with his club , ho
exclaimed :
"Oh , no , you dubs hnvn't any luck ! "
Mr. Howes was exasperated ,
The third wns a Louisana lottery ticket
for Omaha , but in her half St. Paul saved
herself a whitewash.
Farmer reached ilrst by the grace of Cleve
land's romantic throw , but was forced at
second by Meekin's crouuder to Canavan.
Murphy's rainbow fly was attended to by
Willis , but Shep.ird was presented with first
by Clarke.
Then Charlie Abbey made the second nnd
last lilt the Saints secured. It was n Jnpoaica
and netted two runs.
The only ones they got.
In the fourth , fifth , eighth and ninth
Omaha added a single tally to her total each ,
and thus the maddening contest closed.
The run made in the eighth was of the
Andrews architecture , rare enougn In these
modern days.
It was a four-badger over the right field
fence. fc
And It made the crowd shout lustily.
The Apostles tried hard to do something In
the ninth , but It wns useless , and as the lust
uian went out Farmer exclaimed :
"Well , I guess Hope has gene nnd com
mitted Huleldol"
And It looks as if tlio major was correct.
The score :

What Kffect.s it Will Have On tlio
Gambling Institutions.
WASHINOTOX , July 20. The report of the
house committee on postofllecs and postroads
to accompany tlio substitute anti-lottery bill
agreed upon yesterday was filed this after
noon. The committee says that present legis
lation is inadequate and more forcible laws
must bo enacted to prevent the use of
the mails by lottery companies. The
present law can bo enforced by courts
only and conveys no power to tlio postmaster
general. Olio of the main bcnellts to bo de
rived from the substitute bill , if it becomes n
law , is that which makes the act of mailing
lottery letters and circulars a continuous of
fense , triable by the courts in any jurisdic
tion through which they nmy p.iss or into
which they may go. A greater benefit , If
possible , will bo the cloning of the malls to
newspapers which contain lottorv advertise
ments and lists of prizes , thus
partially cutting elf communication
between the lottery and its customers ,
and reducing thu number of Its victims. Tlio
substitute bill , thn committee says , proposed
to cure tlio existing detects hi the law by
means of which the letters intended for the
lottery company roach their destination
through u third person or aifcnt. The sub
stitute , if enacted , would permit the poll-
master general to deny to nny ngont of the
lottery company tlio beneilts of the registry
and money order system and would result In
compelling the lottery company to obtain ro-
mlttnnccsthroiigh express companies or simi
lar channels.
A lleununl Ordered.
W.IMIIXOTO.V , .luly 80. Tlio secretary of
the interior today ordered a recount of the
population of the cities of St. Paul and Min
neapolis. ,
Prior to issuing tills order tlio secretary
had received from Superintendent of Census
Porter n letter detailing the trouble regard
ing the count of the Twin cities and an In
vestigation wns made by his bureau. In It
hosnvs In partThe : evidence before mo
inov bo summarized as follows : In all prob
ability there exlste.l in Minneapolis a wide
spread organized consplraoy for inflating the
census of that city. This conspiracy wns
only partially carried through , owing to Its
early discovery. To what extent , however ,
the schedules are fraudulent c.m bo at pros-
cut only a matter of conjecture. These
fraudulcntschcdulcs take all manner of forms.
Families have been swollen to nn ( norinoiln
sl/oby the addition of children and boarders ;
.tho capacities of existing houses have been
taxed far beyond their limits by the addition
of families , and houses with their contents ,
have been invented by the hundred.In ad
dition to these p.dpablo frauds transients and
mentors have been enumerated at hotels and
boarding houses and employes huvo bcn
enumerated nt their shops ns well us nt their
bouses , in lar onumbers. . In St , Paul there
has been discovered no evidence of an organ-
1/ed conspiracy , but numerous cases
of Illegal additions to schedules are
found. Those additions are similar
in character to these discovered In Minneap
olis , but lire not by any mean.a.s widespread
or extensive.
"In view of tills condition of things It
scorns Iniiosslblj | ( to ho assured of the correct
census of these two cities without making a
recount tbrouirliout. "
Superintendent Porter says no protest
whatever has been presented that the super
visors in St. I'aul or Minneapolis were par
ties to the frauds ,
James II. Wurdle , assistant chlnf clerk of
tlio census buroau"wlll , have chjirgo of the
work at St. Paul , and I1.V. . Id-use , a special

will not , although Mr. Hoar , tin ) chairman of
the committee on privileges and elections , of
which I am : i incmher , says that ho intends
to do nil within his power to bring It up Im
mediately after the disposal of the tariff bill.
Ho may succeed but , 1 hardly HUO how ho can.
1 nni Inclined to bullovo that both ends of
coiiRrcsR will bo very much worn out by the
tiino the tariff 'hill is out of the way
and 1 really do not bellevo it will
be possible to keep a quorum of republicans
in either house hero for any purjMso ultor
September 1 and it may take until October 1
to dually dispose of the tariff alone. " .Senator
Teller , It will bo remembered , was the lead
ing frco coinage advocate during the silver
discussion uml is probably better posted than
any man in Washington on the subject. Con
tinuing ho said : " 1 note with pleasure that
cablegrams from London quo to Mr. Chaplin ,
the Ill-Utah minister of uKricullurc , as saying
tli.it the recent rise in pi-ices of iitfriculturnl
products is due to the advance In the price of
silver which was occasioned by llio adoption
of a silver bill by the A merlean congress ,
Sliver will even bo higher than it
is at jircbcnt quoted and you will see farm
products go up proportionately. There is
nothing that will umko times easier and help
the country nt larps more lastingly than t ho
advance in prices for the products of farms.
The silver bill will alone. In my judgment , ho
snfllcient to save the republican party nt the
polls in November. 1 am ono of those who
believe that wo will elect a innortr ] ! of the
Fifty-second congress , and if wo do 1 shall at
tribute it to the effect of the silver bill. An
administration that niaUes times better can
succeed Itself. There may bo those who pro-
nouncothia 'intlimmiMon , ' but it is business
senseas well as i oed polities. I expect to
see silver KO up considerably higher and to
see the fat-mom get higher prices for their
products the coinlii } , ' season Unin they have
since the wiir , excepting probably the season *
when there wore crop failures. "

believes that the result will ho thoroughly

Chairman Dorsoy of the bouse committee
on banking and currency today made a
unanimous report from his coinmitto recom
mending the adoption of his bill forthorcth-e-
incut of national b.uik circulation , and says
bo has assurances from Senator Sherman that
it will receive unanimous action at Uio bands
of the senate committee on liminco and will
bo promptly passed after tlio bouso has
ncteil. Tlio bill provides that the compulsory
requirement of deposits of beads with the
treasurer to secure national bank circulation
shall bo limited to SI 0,030 for every national
bank , provided that thu voluntary with
drawal of bonds for tlio retirement of
national bank notes shall not exceed the sum
of .y < , U)0ii [ ) ( ) ) ) in any month , nndthis act shall not
apply to deposits of bonds which may bo required -
quired by the secretary of the treasury to secure -
cure deposits of public moneys in the national
banks. The bill further provides thnt ther.j
shall bu Issued to the national banks circula
tion to the full par value of the bond ? de
posited , hut at no lime shall the amount of
such notes issued to any bank exceed tlio
amount actually paid iu of Its capital stock.
Mr. Horsey says that h llnds quite nil tlio
objection made to tlio issuance of bank notes
to the full par value of bonds deposited
within tlio belief that the bank circulation Is
profitable to banking associations , wbllo In
point of fact the circulation ha loss , nnd now
that the banks may not Im required to ISMIU
moro than ? I.OUO each in circulation , it
will bo plain to any one that
the circulation Is simply a nominal matter In
tended only to create a link between private
affairs ami the federal government so that
tlio Inltor may have supervision over the In
terests of private individuals for their pro
tection. Undoes not believe that there will
In- any objection or that there could bo any
objection of a soi-ions or Intelligent nliuractor
to a measure of this kind and he Is confident
of the adoption of the bill nt tlio present ses
sion. Mr , Dofuy baa been directed by bH
committal to calf Uio inoasuru up at tlio llrst
opportunity and put It upon Its passage.
