INTEREST IN BASEBALL.
POLITICS SET ASIDE:
REPRESENTATIVES WANT TO KNOW THE SCORES.
(Received Last Night, 10 o'clock.) WASHINGTON, October 8.
Interest in baseball matches is so keen that the Democrats flippantly question the Chairman in the Hojase of Representatives as to the result of the Philadelphia-New York contest.
The Chairman replied that the question was 'unparliamentary, but the representative for Mann persisted, declaring that the House, had better adjourn in order to learn the progress of the game. After several announcements, the state of the score was shouted across the floor of the House, which, being unable to secure a quorum, adjourned.
