A Miserable Game. New Your, Sept 11 One of the worst games ever played ou the polo grouuds, as that today between the Metropolitan aud Pittsburgh clubs. Galviu was knocked out of the box in the first inuiug, and the change to Eileu had a magic effect. The Pittsburgh-ers played well from that polut out. Hol-bert's catching was wretched.

The daily Xi'iet says: It was reported in Wall street today that the interior department at Washington had ordered the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railway compauies to suspend, until further orders, the payment of any subsidies whatever to the Pacific steamship company. The department claims this is illegal, so long as their debt to tho government is unpaid. Meuuwhile the Pacific Mail liue is overrun with business. The steamer to sail for Panama on Monday has already boon tilled with freight. The stock was brought down odb ioiut on the above rumor.

Presideut Houston, of tho Pacilic Mail company, said today: The talk of discontinuing the subsidy, as it has been erroneously termed, is iioiiseuce. The fact is we have no subsidy from uuy railroad. All that exists is a pooling arrangement, and this is for the best interests of all concerned. This Washington business looks to nie as if the authorities are workiuif auakist certain rnoraUons-Whick country, and then turned a deaf enr to Ihe want of his own countrymen.

TUB MAYOR Hl'KAKS. State President J. It.

The people of this country sre well aware of the wrongs that have been inflicted upon your iiiitiouiiliiy by (iieul Ilritbin.

The people of this country have had some ex-jK-rU uce jM-regard lo beiux governed hy a foreign power, dud concluded that they would prefer to luitke theirow 11 laws. fought for that right, and, utter a bloody conflict, succeeded in obtaining it. Is this nil Unit Ireland Is asking for, and Is Unit the object of your If so, what reasonable 1111m cun object to it? Is not Ireland capable of making her own laws? Has she not a liberty-loving people We think so. Has she not produced sonic of the most eminent patriots and statesmen The people of this country owe 0 debt of gratitude to Irish patriots who helped us to "(tin our IihUtn? mleiieo.

As ciil.ens of their adopted country, thuy fought side by side with Ihe American, in order that we might be a free and independent nntioii. Iu the second ar ith Ureal tirituin the I rich were also well represented; and in the war with Mexico, the Irish furnished thousands of soldiers fltul some of our best generals. How was 11 In the Wur of the rebellion? We all know thai Ihe Irish not only turnislied their full quota, but Rine us some of our best end btnvcst, generals and otllceis. I fee many before me this evening who volunteered to take a pail iu that war. 11 then- is a people on the face of the curl I) today.

It Is the Irish people. Why, then, should We not sympathize Willi and Ksisi tbcm iu this their struggle Ui obtain their rights. It sei-ni-to mi. that we ought. The, I1M1 have almost become bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.

It a fact, I believe, that no rstlotinlily has warmer place in tho art'ections of Ihe people of this country than the Irish. They have proved themselves lo he au industi ion und patriotic people; and. while ihey have become gooil rliicus here, they Mill retain a oiroug love for their mother country. 'I hey know, and do not forget, the oppression that has put upon them hy Ureal ilrittilii. For this they aie to U'coniiiieuded.

An Earnest Inqiry into the Question of Pacific Mail Subsidies. The Chicago and St. Louis-The Northern Pacific Meeting-Black Hills Tariff. IsrECIAL DISPATCH TO Till! T1IIBUVE.1 Washixgtos', Sept. 13.

The secretary of the interior has addressed an inquiry to the management of the Uuion Paciilo aud Central Pacific railway companies, asking them br what authority they have coutracted writh the Pacific Mud steamship, to guaruutee the lutter an equivalent ot a subsidy amounting to 110,01 1) a month. This is iu the liuo of investigation into the management of subsidized Pacific roads which the uew administration of the interior department has determined to make. The effect of the contract with the l'acilic Mail referred to by the secretary of tho interior will lie not only to increase tha freight rates on both the railways and the steamship company to an extensive degree, but to lilt tho treasury of the l'acilic Mail, whose directors are directors iu the Uuion Pacnic ami the eutrui Pacilic, at the expense of the latter roads aud therefore of the government The position of the roads is understood to be that by raising their freights under thoir contract ith the Pacific Mail, they increase the fund of net earnings from which their obligations to tho government arc to be paid.

One day last week, rites a Lander, correspondent of the Denver TrUiune-Ifrmlili-run, the well -modulated voice of the school mistress of the Lyou school said ''noon" in its usual calm tones, nud the usual wild rush for edibles followed the magic word.

As an year old boy thrust his hand into his din ner basket and drew out: a uottlt or vicious warning of the deadly rattlesnake was heard from the depths of the diu-ner basket. Dow went the basket ith a crash, and in the fragments of a shattered pio-plale his saukcsh.p coiled himself, while his busy tail made the air vibrate with its uiigry song, and that song was quickly re -echoed. From every corner of the school-loom came the fearful warning, and it was seen that at least half a do.en snakes had come to school. A wild scene of terror uud confusion ensued. The usually suave aud self contained schoolmistress mad" a hasty leap unit loud shriek, tho double effort lauding her on top of the highest desk in the room.

Her example in both leap und shriek was speedily followed, and the uetv pupils were left in poscs-ion of the floor. A vt ry babel of cries and screams announced that the schoolmistress ui.d tha oldtr girls were iu consultation us how to get rid of the undue amount ot si rnents that uud so suddenly th to. In the midst of this ellect- tvn dtscussiou a 10 vear OKI ioy sic'cei-deii in forcing a side window open, and. falling out, soon made bis appearance ith a formidable club with hich ho dispatched the Ktialics in rotation. There were uin 1 to be live of them of the deadly rock variety.

Aftr the coast was apparently cicnr again, the demoralized school settled down us best they could to their dinners, when across tho threshold came iu gal hering hut looked I'ke the kingof ul! rattlesnakes, and making for the cent'T of the apartment, coiled himself iu a bunch as Imge as a half-bushel, while his note anger tilled the room ith its diabolical music, and the henrers with a sickening dread. The desks were again resorted to, hut, this time the terror as too great for cries nud shrieks. A trembling horror seemed to osess all. while tho glittering bead like eve of the huge reptile seemed to fascinate with its scintillating glances. Just, then the welcome roll of wagon wheels was heard 011 the road, on the margin of hich tho school house stood.

It broke the spell of horror, and shriek after shriek ou all scales of thy gaums resounded from he building. In a moment or two the burly form of a stalw art ranchman Tilled the doorway. He took in the situation ut glance A quick spring to roudnide and back, und the glistening terror lay writhing beneuth a heavv bowlder. It proved to be five and out half feet in length and carried fourteen rattles. There was no more school that day.

and the bouse and the grounds for hnlf a niilo around have been religiously searched every morning since by that schoolmistress before she opens school.

Inside the loan olliee there us quite a busy scene, nud nearly all tho callers were seeking their overcoats.

"This is the busiest August we ever saw," said a pawnbroker. "You might think thi.s the 1st of October by tho way coats are being called for. We've done nothing all tho afternoon but hand dow oveiwnts. About a third of the overcoats have been taken out, and if the weather keeps cool I guess the others ill go before tomorrow night.
