[ Special Telegram to Tin : HII : : . ] Today's game be tween Minneapolis nnd Omaha , whllo ex citing nnd marked by some phenomenal plays , was saffron huod. The Holding on both sides was ragged nnd neither pitcher can take unto himself any considerable credit for his work. The only point on which the locals can prldo thotaselve.s Is that they balled out and won a gnino that appeared to bo lost. Hhugart played n great game at short , but took no part In the stick work further lhan to get to first on nn error. Only nine hits were made off Uart.son , the ox-0hlcngo plratu" pitcher , but hu was very free with bases on balls , and hit Larry Twltchcll twice. Lonf Mr. Hurl played a most peculiar game nt third , and was alternately hissed nnd cheered by the fickle throng. Ho made three errors and the bleachers howled for "Miller. " Ho made live clover assists and u put out and was cheered. Hut It was when his In the victory long two-bagger sovontli put tory In sight that the 2.Vccnt patrons of the game dccldou to let him play through the remainder of the game : Hcnglo made the motion which Karl seconded ended In that "lucky seventh. " Hoth were two-baggers , and the crowd went wild ns they saw the victors fall behind in the race. Kltcljorg contributed tbo two runs which Minneapolis counted in the second by watchIng - Ing Shugart's pop-up Hy whllo it fell within a few feet of him. Other members of the Omaha team did their best to help Iho locals win , but when two cheesy errors nnd .n hit in the fourth failed to result In runs , then tlio Nebraskans started out to win for Ihomselvos. Hut they were cut off , however , by the timely hitting of Honglo , Earl nnd McQuald. A long running catch by McQuaid , a con tortion net by Karl , and Shupart nnd Walsh's work at short were the features of the game. MlNNKArOMF. AII. n. In. Hit. ro. A. E.

" I'roni these and other p'ortlnent facts It Is evident that the protests of Lord Londonderry and tlio DukeofVelllnslon had nothlnitwhat- nver to do with the points In ISMIU between thu American and llrltlsh govorhmonts eon- iiiit > , i Itif * I Imi'n t i ra nt t.lii * Itnll1inf unt. I'luttr both referred In different but substantially Identical phrases' to the territory south of the Alaskan ponmsula' bordering on thu I'aulflo and Kcoirruphlcally shut out from thu llehrlni * sea. 1 regret that my arguments on the point wlilcb Lord Salisbury considers of Kroat linportaiiL-u should have es caped Ids lordship's notice. In Lord Salis bury's Judgment the contention of the United Status now rests wholly upon tlio ukase of l ' 'l by the Emperor Alexander II of Uussla. The United States has nt no time rested Its argu ment solely on the ground mentioned , and this government regrets that Lord Salisbury should have so apprehended the position as to limit Its basis of rlsht In Hohrlm ; son tu thu ilkasoof thoyoarof 1S2L The United States has , among other grounds , Insisted that , ro- currliiK to any of Its , Inherited and superior rights In Alaska , that this government bus as full authority for golil beyond the thtec mlle line In ease of proved necessity as Great Hrlt- aln possesses. Two or three Instances of thu power which ( Ircnt Itntnln oxnrclsos beyond the three mlle limit have already been quoted , but have failed to tlui * fur secure commenter or explanation from Lord Salisbury , Another case can bu added , which , perhaps , Is still more to thn point. In 1SS9 only two years URO the Hrltisn parliament' enacted n law , the effect of which U fully uhown by a map enClosed - Closed herewith.

" Lord Sall - inry rensiurtit his contention * that ho words "Pnclllo wear" at thu line of the treaty between Russian nnd ( treat Irltnln did Include Ili-lirlni : sea. t'ndoubt- lly the I'.ictflooconn Includes Ili-hrlin ; < .en.ln liOKiimosensu thnt the Atlantic ocean In cludes thullulf of .Mexico , and yet II "mild bo regarded as it very Inauuratu statement to say that the Midsspi | | | river flows Into the Atlantic ocean. I think Ixird Salisbury fulls 0 rcco til7u tin1 coinmoii distinction between the "Atlantic ocean" and "tho watersof the Atlantic , " Whllo the Mexican gulf Is not a p'irt of the Atlantic ocean. It would , I am sure , compnre with the conuriil tisnup lo say that It belongs to iho Maters of the Atlantic , ind whllo llehrlnx s a Is not technically a iiaituftho Piicllic ocu'in It undoubtedly be- [ onus in tlie water * of the t'aclllc ocean. The KiiKllsli ehannel was not ordinarily to ho un derstood as Included In the term "Atlantic tccati. " One would not s y Unit Dover or Calais Is on thecoast of thu Atlantic ocean , and yotclearly thu KuuiNi channel belongs to the waterHof the Atlantic. In point of fnct. therefore , accordlii to tin1 usage of thu word there Is mi dispute of any consequence between thu two gouirnmcnts In tlio grogrnpliiciil point under cunsldoialloii. 1 ho historical point Is the ono at Issue , Tliu uxplanatory liulo from Uussla , Illed In the slalo department of this country , especially referred to In Mr. John Qnlncy Adams's diary and quilted In my note of Ilecombcr 17 , IMH ) . plainly draws a distinction between the I'u- clllc d.-oan on thuono Hand and thu sea of Oknotsk. the sea of Knmsiilintkii and the ley sea on the other , and so hunt as Uusslr. diow that distinction It must apply to and mu. < l absolutely deeldo all the connection between the two countries as far as the waters uf thu Ili'lir'nij ' . sea are concerned. To dlscn- this point further would In the opinion of thu president contribute nothing of value to thu gem-rat contention. In the opinion of the president , Loid Salisbury Is strongly In error In making the fo.lowlns statement : "nor they ( Iho advisors of tliu president ) ruly as a Justification for the seiz ure of llrltlsh ships In thu open sea upon the contention that tin * Inluiests of the M'al fish eries ulve to the I'nltud States govoriimt'iil any r'gh for that purpose whlcli according to nitcinatlonal law It would not nthi't wise possess. The noveinment uf tlie I'nlti-d Stales has steadily ndvocatcd lust the reverse uf Ibo position which Lo d Salisbury has Imputed to It. It holds that the ownership of the Islands upon which tlio seals breed ; that tlio linblls ot the seals In regularly resort ingthIt her nnd rearing their youmi thereon ; that tliclr golnu out from the islands In Mifin-h "f food and regularly colni : tlioieto and all Iho facts and Incidents of their relation lo tlitIsiand give to tliu I'nltcd Slates n property Interest therein : that this properly Interest was claimed and exorcised by ICnoslu during the whole period of Its .sovereignty over the binds and waters of Alaska ; that Knuland rocnxnl/.cd this prop erty Inteiost so far as rccoKiii/atlon Is Im plied by abstaining from all Interference with It during tl" > whole period of Kussla's owner ship of A1 a and during the llrst nineteen voars of .ovurclKiity . of tliu 1'niled States.

O raves about a year ago lo n resident ol Hralntreo , and still preserved , was compared today with iho fao situllo Inscription on tha Irottlo received In Denver by Mrs. Hnrnnby. ' ' 't'ho tlrst fenturu to attract attention Is that the writing , ns a whole , hears unmistakable evidence of having been done with n stylo- graphic pen , and It bear. ' , out tliu opinion ol Mr. Worrell In regard tn the signature of Dr. Graves' tnKon from the hotel register nt thu Ollsoy house , that It also looks as If written by such a pen. As In the case of the signature of tno hotel register and the Inscription on the bottle , the writing In this letter from Dr. Graves to n piillent in Hralntreu shows not the slightest .shade , and there Is thai general similarity of slupe nnd style uf Iho hand writing tn the Ihreo Instances noted in the comparison at Denver nnd described In thu dispatches. Hut them Is Ibis particular difference : \Vhilo according to the Denver dispatch every "rv In the Inscription is in onu style nnd every "r" In the signature In another , bulb style * of this letter appear In Dr. ( irnves1 epistle to Hralntreo. Thu other noticeable features aruthc.se : All thn lol- ter.s "o , " "y , " "c' ' and "k , " which occur in both the missives ami the Inscription , are of difforenlstyh-.s , particularly thu"c" and "k. " There Is n resumblancu.thougb not especially marked , between the "I" and " .s" as well as In tbo "p" and the ending uf thn letter "d.
