Little Duffy was the big gest player on the Brotherhood diamond to-day. He bit the ball lour times for nine bases. In cluding a home run and a three-bagger, scored a trio of runs, and fielded his po sition admirably. A base on balls was another point Duffy gained from the pitching of Galvin, who ap peared all out of sorts. With the exception of Dar ling and Farrell the entire Chicago team trod heavily on the toes of "Gentle Jeems." Dwyer, for the bite StocEings, was much more effective, and, notwith standing the fact that the game was always safe, dis tributed only seven hits among the opposing bats men. The borne team won by a score of 11 to 6 in a contest that was far superior to that ot the opening day. IT WAS KOISY throughout, and abounded in hits such as a crowd might enthuse over on a warm day. Tho weather was almost as frigid as on Monday, and but for a bit of sunshine that failed to pene trate the icy atmosphere to any appreciable ex tent, the spectators would hare applauded as shiveringly Galvin's arms refused to limber up, and even his attempt to grow heated during a dispute with Ryan failed to bring on the desired warmth. Beckley. Vis iter and Kuehne only, of tbe Pittsburgh could solve the well-delivered curves of young Dwyer, and the college student ton ered feet above bis veteran companion in tbe box. The White Stockings were "in it" at once with threo runs secured after a deal of playing. Latham. Ryan and Darling were given bases on balls, the former being run out between first and sec ond. Duffy scored on wild throws by Carroll and Corcoran, while Ryan and Comiskey came home on the latter's steal and a wild pitch. Darling was nipped at the plate. WOK If THE F ECOKD. The game was already on in the second. In which the Chicagos added a well-modulated quartette. Bastian opened with a two-base bit, followed by Dwyer's single. Latham's sacrifice scored the shortstop, and Duffy stepped beside Beckley on balls. Both counted when Ryan pushed tbe sphere almost to the left fence for three rousing bases. The blonde fielder trotting in on COeil's single. Only one man was out, but the fun was soon spoiled by Carroll, who accomplished a double play unas sisted in touching O'Neil and Comiskey near second, Dwyer and Latham scored in the third on singles by tbe latter and Bastian and Duffy's swipe for three stations. O'Neil's bate on balls resulted in a tally in tbe next with tbe assist ance of his Captain and Farrell. Only Dwver and Duffy scored in the fifth, but they sprinted around ou a knockout blow that took tho breath from tbe 1,500 spectators. It was Duffy's smash on the juggler that sent the hapless ball within ten feet ot the carriage line. It was A CLEAN HOME BUS with the ball never out or sight. The two last runs were made in the eighth with a base on balls for O'Keil and wild throws in succession by Corcoran and Carroll that i lade Latbain weep. Toe Pittsbnrgs' first mark was chalked up by Corcoran in the second on a clean bit, Robinson's base on balls andHanlon's sacrifice. Visner's pretty three baser past Ryan in the fourth, together with Robinson's base on balls and a throw over Comiskev's head byDwver, and Bastian's fumble added two. Beckley scored in the second on double bits by himself aud Kuehne. In the eighth the visltois pock eted another brace of counters through Fields and Robinson on a passed balk gratis bases to tbe latter and Galrin and Hanlon's single. In the other inning tbe Pittsbnrgs had only one chance when in tbe finish, with two men out, Carroll secured a lead on Latham's overthrow to first, and Beckley sent a to-base screamer along the right foul line. But both expired on the bags when Fields struck out. Tener and Baldwin will pitch to morrow. Ihe score: CHICAGO. R B F A E PITTSBURG.

Wbatwe are'dolng now is try ing to get the clnb to play good hall, and I think the bsys will do it Our reduction or admission fees Is going to be a success, because it is a popu lar roo e. and when the club returns home it will be seen on what side public sympathy's.

SPECIAL TELEOB-AX TO TUB DIBFATCrt.l HcriEESrOKT, May 6. McKeesport and Dayton played a great game here to-day, although the crowd was small on account of the cold weather. Baker, who pitched the first two Innings for the home team, had a very sore arm when he started and had to retire after the second inning, Plnm mer taking his place, and pitching a wonderful game from that to the finish, only allowing the Davton sluggers one hit in tbe seven innings. Stapleton pitched a fine game for the Daytons and only allowed the home team three hits and they were made after two men were out each time. McKeesport made her only run in tbe ninth in ning by bhoupe getting first on Burke's error and second on a life and scored on a bit to left by Voss. Dayton got their three runs in the second on a base on bills, a batter hit bra pitched ball and a two-bagger and a single. The Davtons are the best club that has vet been here and they play ball from start to finish. They have some great coachers. The came clubs play to-morrow and Thursday.

The reatures of the game w ere the fielding and batting of Rltter. IT Is rumored in Pittsburg that the main cause or the reduction In rates was tbe anxiety or tbe Pittsburg Players' club to lift tbe mortgage on Its grand stand, which. It Is s-ld. Is held by New i ork parties. It was thought the quarter reduc tion would boom the Attendance to snch an extent that the debt would soon be extinguished. Aeu lortStar. A NEW point has been raised for the Players' League magnates to decide. Under tbe rules the vlsltlngclub receives half of the gate and grand stand receipts. One of the games last week at Eastern Park between tbe Brooklyn and Itcw ork clnba was stopped by rain alter tbe first in ning. Rain checks were given out to the specta tors for admission to the grounds another day, but no grand stand checks were distributed. There were about file In receipts In the grand staLd. and the Jew lorks claimed the hall of that amount. It was not allowed. Tho matter will be referred to the League for a decision. hew York Sun. A DiEFATcn from Baltimore tars: Left Fielder Sommer. of the Cleveland League club, has been released and arrived homo to-night- Sommer stated that he was badly treated in Cleveland by Manager bchmelz, who released him last Thurs day, soon after tbe game with tbe Cincinnati The only excuse he gave him was that lie bad played indifferently. Sommer, on the other band, says he is positive that his release was caused to reduce expenses and to make room for Gilts, who bas a three-year contract. He says the club Is playing to small crowds and is losing money. He plaved in nine games, and the ten-inning contest on Thursday was his only bad one. Speaking of the money that the Cleveland club made last summer. President Frank Kobi son made the statement one day last week that every cent of proflt made by the cluD was during the week or July 4. Prior to that time the club's receipts were greater than the expenditures, but the surnlus was used in paying back the price or the Detroit franchise. In the week of July 4 it seemed as though fortune had at last deigned to mile upon the Forest City. By a wonderful good streak ot luck the light was at fever heat, Boston being only a few games ahead and Cleveland crowding it hard for first place. Theenormons attendance of all the Boston games Just about represented Cleveland's profits for tho season. Cleveland Leader. The Boston Players' League club outfield is about the strongest in tbe country. In fielding Stovcy, Johnston and Richardson cannot be beaten. Each covers a vast territory of ground, and no outfield ever gotten together could beat this trio in throwing, thongh in Griffin. Fogarty and Wood the Philadelphia club has three of the best throwers In the business, and these three men can cover about as much ground as any out field In tbe country. Bnt the Boston outfield has another point In its favor, in that It is the bardest liltttngoutfieldofanyof them, save probably tbe Chicagos Duffy, Ryan and O'Nell. The latter outfield, however, does not cover the ground In fielding that Boston and Philadelphia outfields do, and one thing more in Boston's favor is that Stover, Johnston and Richardson are also fine base runners. Philadelphia Ledger. SOME GEEAT SHOOTING. Champion Trap Sbota Havo a Big Time nt Brnnot's Island. Probably the greatest trap shooting event that has taken place in Pennsylvania was commenced yesterday at Brnnot's Island. It was the two days' shooting tournament promoted by Messrs. K. E. Bhaner, Crow, Richardson, Davison and C. M. Bostetter, of this city. When it Is stated that 9,000 clay birds were used In yesterday's contest the public will be able to form an idea or tbe sig nificance of the event. Such famous sholB as Helkes, Wolsten, Croft and Miller were present, and they all declared that it exceeded anything of the kind in which they have taken part- In one match alone there were no less than 57 entries. This, indeed, is remarkable, and places the tour nament among the most important in tbe country. The promoters deserve all credit for the excellent arrangements and the gigantic scale on which the tournament is held. Ihere was no rainfall, but the atmosphere was too dark for real first-class shooting. The cham pions were a little behind their records In conse quence, but the contests wereall good, despite tbe weather. The score shows how close every match was contested. There were about 500 people pres ent, and doubtless if the weather Is good to-day there will be a much larger attendance.

Domlnick McCaffrey, the well-known pugilist, is in the city on a visit to his parents. His mother Is seriously III at the family residence on Small man street, and Domlnick was telegraphed for to come home at once. She was much Improved yes terday, however. Domlnick hadn't much to say about pugilistic affairs yesterday. He has nermanently retired from the business, and expects to do well in another and nobler line of life. During a con versation with the writer regarding his encounter with J. J. Corbett, Domlnick said: "I make no excuses. Corbett is a better boxer than I am simply because he has such tremendous physical advantages. He Is 5 Inches taller and about 30 Eounds heavier. I know as much as he does about oxlng, but I cannot get near enough to him be cause of his superior reach. He Is a big. athletic young fellow and as active as anybody. He is of the NedO'Baldwln type. To give vou an Idea of his superiority of reach over me he can stand and place out giorc between my eyes and blind me and keeping striding away with the other. Of course lhit hlin very often In our contest but I could not get close enough to do any good. He Is li first man who has beaten me in boxing and 1 .uuays said that as soon as 1 was bested in boxing I would retire. "1 think Corbett will make a good fighter, butl wouldn't like to be too sure or It until be is tried. 1 am Inclined to think that he Is a game man and anybody who noes against him will meet a tartar. Jackson is a man or his build and may be Corbett' s superior. I would not be surprised to see Jack son defeat Sullivan it they meet." McCaffrey will probably remain in toe city nntll Saturday.

" Continued from First Page. groups on tbe broad floor, returning with grave politeness the almost awe-struck hom age of those who made way for him. f A TOUCHING SCENDE. Fur some moments he stood alone yes, 'alone, in that crowd, musing at a window, his symmetrical head bowed in thought, wondering possibly that he should be left here so long to take part in the pomp of court ceremony when all his friends have loDg ago preceded him to Germania's 7al halla. It was a touching sight, fit inspira tion for a great painter. Chancellor Von Caprivi handed the speech to the Emperor, and His Majesty read it in clear tones. The reading was frequently interrupted bv cheers. After the delivery of the speech Chancellor Von Caprivi de clared the Beichstag open. The diplomatic gallery was crowded. The members of the Freissenige party laid amotion on the table, demanding that a bill be passed reducing the corn duty to 3 marks per double quintal, abolishing the beet root tar and export bounties, and withdrawing from distilleries their existing privileges relating to the spirit tax, aad finally demanding a general revision of the tariffs with the viewto the abolition of the corn and cattle duties, and a reduction of the duties on other articles of general consumption, especially farm prod ucts. THE TARIFF ON CORK. The Socialists will introduce a bill for the immediate repeal of the corn duties. The leaders of the various parties have agreed upon Herr Levetzow for President of the Beichstag and Count Ballestrem, Clerical, and Dr. Baumbach for Vice Presidents. The new military bill fixes the peace foot ing at 486,783 troops, exclusive of the one year volunteers. After October 1 the army will consist of 538 battalions of infantry, 465 squadrons of cavalry, 4J4 field batteries, 31 batteries of foot and 20 pioneer aud 21 train battalions. The non-recurring expenditures entailed by the new measures amount to 31,500,000 marks. The increase in the per manent yearly expenditures is 18,000,000 marks. Emperor 'William, in his speech opening the Beichstag, said he hoped it would "he practicable at the present session to solve the important and pressing questions which would come up for consideration. He wdnted above all things to effect further leg islation for the protection of tbe working men. The strike movements during tbe past year had suggested an examination of the question whether the laws of the exising state organization adequately took into account those wishes ot the "workiugmen which were justifiable and capable of reali zation. PRESSING QUESTIONS. The questions claiming the foremost at tention were those of Sunday rest and the restriction of women's and children's labor. The Federal Governments were convinced that the proposals of the last Beichstag might, in their essential points, become a law aud be carried into practice without detriment to other interests. The legal pro visions for the protection of workingmen against dangers threatening their lives, health and morals, were sus ceptible ot amendment, as were also the laws relative to the issue of labor regulations. The rules concerning workingmen's books also required to be supplemented with the object of assuring parental authority in view of the increasing insubordination among youthful working men. His Majesty said that a bill on this subject would be laid before the Beichstag. Another bill will be submitted for the better regulation and 'organization of industrial courts of arbitration, so that tbe courts may be appealed to for the settlement of disputes between the employers and the employed. The Emperor continued: "I trust you are willing to co-operate in order to bring about an agreement between the legislative bodies upon the proposed reforms and thus take a significant forward step in the peaceful de velopment of the conditions of labor. A just solicitude for the workmen constitutes the most effectual means by which to strengthen the resources with which T and my exalted allies are resolved to oppose with unbending determiSatiou any attempt to disturb the legal order of things. In effecting these re forms only such measures will come up for consideration as can be carried ou without endangering the industry of the Father land. Our industry only forms a link in the economic work of nations competing in the world s markets. THE IMPERIAL INVESTIGATION. "I have, therefore, made a point or going about among the European States, whose cconomie position has the same character, for an exchange of views regarding a joint resolution of the legislation required to pro tect workmen, most gratefully acknowledge the favorable reception of my suggestions by all the States concerned. The resolu tions adopted by the recent labor conference in Berlin expressed their common views upon tbe most important field of work and culture of our time. I do not doubt that the principles laid down in those resolutions will form the seed, under God's help, from which will spring up happiness. The work ing men will be blessed by the fruit, wbich will be harmonious relations between the people." Referring to the foreign relations of Ger many, His Majesty said that his efforts are. unceasingly directed toward the mainte nance of peace. He said: 'I am able to express the conviction that my endeavors to strengthen the confidence of all foreign Gov ernments in the security afforded by our policy have been successful. "With the Em peror and his exalted allies tbe nation recognizes the duty of protecting peace by cultivating an alliance concluded for pur poses of defense. Any displacement of the balance ot power endangers the political equilibrium. Consequently a guarantee is thereby afforded for the successlul mainte nance of peace. Since the bases of our military constitutions were settled tbe military or ganization of our neighbors have extended to an unforeseen degree. What has been done by us has been thus rendered inade quate." Tn order to prevent the displacing of the whole situation to our disadvantage, it is necessary to increase the peace effective and strengthen our different arms, especially the field artillery. A bill will be submitted enacting that an increase of the army shall come into lorce on the nrst 01 uctober. His Majesty concluded his speech by say ing: "If the labors be ore you are brought to a prosperous termination new and strong guarantees for the internal welfare and ex ternal security of the Fatherland will there by have been obtained." THE PROPOSED MEASUBES. The main features of tne labor bill to be introduced by the Government are the pro hibition of Sunday holiday manifestations, Sunday labor and employment of children under 13 years of age. Women will not be allowed to perforin night work under tbe provisions of the bill, nor will they be al lowed to work after 5:30 P. m. on Saturdays. The Tagblatt, commenting on Emperor William's speech at the opening of the Beichstag, says: "It is significant that it shows no intention to maintain the Socialist law. His views on the duties of the Gov ernment must be approved everywhere. The scope of the measures to protect work men is limited by tbe avowal that Germany's industrial activity will not be affected. Therefore workmen's interests will not be affected. The Badicals, animated by patri otic zeal, will doubtless be willing to grant all that is required to strengthen the coun try's defensive orces." The Tacblatt ai'O approves the Emperor's references to col onial affairs. The Boerten Courier says the speech will be received with satisfaction everywhere. Tbe paper concurs in the opinion that while reducing the hours of labor of women and children regard must be paid to German in dustry, and especially in view of foreign competition. It is pleased with the Em peror's assurance that the country's foreign relations are good, and refers to his tacit re nunciation of the Socialist law.

A Great English Financier Deplores Sena tor Beck's Death and Lauds Ills Labors, London, May C Mr. Gibbs, ex-Governor of tbe Bank of England and President of the Bi-Metallio League, has cabled the fol lowing to Senator Jones in the name of the Bi-Metallio League: Tbe friends of silver deeply regret tbe death of Senator Beck, whose services In tbe cause of monetary reform are most warmly appreciated on this side of tho Atlantic. The lii-Metalllc party in tbe United Kingdom, now Including over 100 members In tbo House of Commons, attach tbe greatest value to tbe debate about to commence In your Illustrious chamber. We fully recognize not only that the support af forded silver by yonr legislation fiurlng the past 12 years has helped to protect the indus trial world from an acute monetary crisis, but also that the debates In Congress have served more than all else to educate our people to the recognition of the important issues in volved; We believe also that the Increased coinage oL silver contemplated by Congress will restore wholly or considerably your coin age laws and will thus make an International settlement of this complex question compara tively easy. We anticipate further, with much confidence that the advance in the price of silver which must follow your action, will both stimu late tho export trades of your country, and, while tending to the prosperity of your agricul tural classes, will also assist the manufactur ing industries of the United Kingdom and the whole body of our wage earners. jnjHEEOTJS ARRESTS KALE.

It now looks as if the long drawn out fight for the postoffice is at an end, and the people in general are very glad of it. Congressman Bay to-day recommended Edwin Soles for the position. Telegrams from leading Republicans left the city by the bushel to-night, all of which were addressed to Hon. J. W. Bay, com mending the choice. Mr. Soles is a married man, about 35 years ot age and has ability and experience and is a lite-long Bepublican. For the last two years he has been associated with his brother in the real estate business, and prior to that was for seven years freight agent here of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail road. He is very industrious, and if con firmed will prove a most fitting postmaster. Mr. Soles has telegraphed his acceptance, and also sent Mr. Bay a long letter. TEMPERANCE CADETS ORGANIZE. The Bt.

The officer will patrol the street be tween Liberty street and tbe Monongahela river, and it is expected he will do good work on that thoroughfare. About a year ago Officer Crossan was as signed to duty on Fiith avenue, to watch stores and keep loafers on the move. The idea of having one officer "do" a certain district turned out to be so successful that the second man, Officer Mulvihill, was put on yesterday. 4 THE CAREY INQUEST BEGUN. Employes Say the Derrick Was All Right, but Others Deny It. Coroner McDowell began the inquest on the body of Thomas A. Carey, who was killed at the new Government building Saturday, yesterday morning. The tes timony of the men employed on the build ing, and who are not bound by civil service rules, was to the effect that the derrick was made of sound timber, and they could not account for it breaking. The testimony of outsiders, who are not employed on the building and have no po sitions to lose, was to tbe effect that the wood in the derrick was rotten. The in quest adjourned until to-day.
