" What Is tlie matter with the weatherf" Such In effect is tte question that has been coming te all the signal offices east cf the Recky mountains, and te hydro graphic bureau and Idpal scientists in many sections of the United States. And with the question have come statements that would Ije simply incredible it net at tested by clouds or witnesses statements of flowers blooming iu open a', "greens" gathered from the garden en New Year's day, cotton blooming en "St Jacksen's day ''green pastures and sultry nights as far north os latitude 88 dejr,, and no ice fit te cut within COO miles of New Yerkl i New Orleans and Charleston, perhaps, present the most extraordinary figures official, tee, being thorn taken at the signal stations. On the 11th of January the official thermometer at New Orleans registered 83 deg, in the shade, and for thirty-four days it has only ence or twice been below 70 deg. at neon. In November there were a few pleasantly cool days, but since the 1st of December every day has been het ami dry. The hottest winter previously known aver aged seven degrees cooler, and the aver age is much cooler than that. At Ham Ham eond, La., a ripe watermelon was pulled and eaten en Christmas, and en the first the eulf stream: three days of January cotton blooms ap peared in riaqucmine parish. Fer three and a quarter months the total rainfall lias been but a fraction ever three inches, or a feet less than common; the city eh terns are generally dry, and the people are using river water. By way of con solation, it isudded that the ice factories of the city are producing ice at the rate of G.0OO tens a month, and can, if needed, produce 600 tens a day, at u cost of $C a ten. 4 In Charleston the mean tcinpcrature for Dpccmlier was CO deg. and the rain fall less than a third of an inch. If the people were net afraid of late frosts, they would agree te supply northern markets with early vegetables ten weeks ahead of thu usual time; and if the pres ent weather continues cotton could be picked iu May instead of October. At Syracuse, N. Y., garden roses have devel oped and several sorts of shrubs have formed leaf, while the air has been warmer generally than in any winter since 1829. In all New England, save a "thin skin" en a few of the most north ern lakes, there is no ice, while en the eastern end of Leng Island, which gels the warm wave at its strongest, dande lions are in full bloom where the earth is ordinarily hidden by snow. Explanations nlxiuml. But they de net explain. It is, of course, known that the winter storms from west te east, or east-northeast, are moving across the continent in a truck from 300 te 500 miles north of the usual line, and that, ns the storm center creates a suction drawing side winils towards it, this op erates te bring up warm winds fiem the south; but why de the btormsgOBemuch further north? ' The first explanation offered was the new familiar one, the maximum (or min imum) of sun spots. Hut that is com pletely demolished by the records for m:ny years showing no connection be tween sun spots nnd warm or cold winters. An explanation just fan ciful enough te make it popular was that of the Gulf Stream; many cap tains contend that it is 'gradually draw ing nearer the Atlantic coast, and thero there thero feie giving us waim and foggy weather, 'ijtiite English, you knaw." There are Ihree conclusive answers te that. First, thb matter is net se; the Uulf Stream sways as moved upon by winds nnd ether currents, but its central line is just whera it was when first, lo cated in the charts. Second, England nnd western Europe generally have their usual winters. And thirdly, and most cenclusive of nil, the win ter is even mero abnormal west of the AiJeghanies, away up in the northwest and a.f the west end of the Oulf of Mex ico, than en the Atlantic coast. The Oulf Stream is n big thing, but it could net make green lields in Missouri in January. A few super-seientlfie people are in clined te fall back en the Lite Professer James Watsen's favorite theery: that the earth, sun and solar system, in their grand sweep through space, pass through great belts of heat and cold great zones which fill uncounted millions of miles of the interstellar void. It is new generally conceded that the illimit able spaC-' through which the stars are scattered (aiVeut 3 thickly in proportion, iwrhaps. as If fl Jiundied pin heads were distributed ever tlu3 state or Texas) is filled with Eome Bubstenre extremely tenuous, of course, but still e substance, or gas if you please. And it may well be that it has great waves of heat through which the whiiling systems plunge, Oidy, we cannot preve it just new. Sergt. Dunn, the local weather official pf New Yerk city, propounds a most sU;11i!)g theory, and very plausible tee; i'JJt Mose who hear it for the first time iill iiaM te think a while before they caii Aixiie 0 be glad or seiTy. His tlio tlie tlio ery iu brW U Ihis, as outlined recently in The New Yptk Sun: The change is pei manent, the United States geneially is fxt fcave milder winters, and the cause is llvjt a new storm center has lwrj) pstab jished by the settlement, Irrigation ami redfcjijpjteu ff a ence nrid region in the far wtt.

Settlement and IrrJ IrrJ gatleu bae wonderfully changed is tharactef, It is scarcely an exaggeration te say that Millions of acres have been covered with tji)r since 1800. Within (he memory of met) stJJJ living the but fule grass clothed the western bluffs of the Missouri. Then the dry wjnds swept pver the plains without hindrance. New artificial groves, ponds, fountains, plowed fields and irrigating ditches and reser voirs creatu clouds. A new storm cen ter has been niacin by the hand of man. In demonstration Sergt. Dunn says that a New Yerker "who, within a year or two, has Invested thousands) of dollars in an irrigation cempauy iu Colerado re cently called en him te tell the stqry of his 111 luck. After the ditclfcs of the company had been dug at great expense and the uaier had been tinned en, the company bewail le leek for customers te buy their vtMcr, JJu Ibe construction et tne great irrigation system itself brought en a natural raiiifall,whkh has continued at intervals ever since. The irrigation company has conferred n great been upon the neighborhood, but it re ceives only thanks for Its pay. The annexed map illustrates the won derful change in the once "far west" and arid belt. Of coarse the sergeant's theory U net bow capable et proof, but the fact of a very great change' la the 'climate of the far west is notorious. When the Mormons located la Salt Lake valley it was rare for a drop of rain te ran between May ami ucioeer; new mere is rarely a month without rain, and in midsummer there are often heavy storms with Violent electrical phenomena. The storms produced in the new western lab oratory, adis the sergeantwhile net of great extent and duration, are, most of them, of unusual violence. They travel with marvelous rapidity, with a speed, in fact, that is almost unprecedented. Several the present season have swept across the country te the sea in from thirty-six te forty-eight hours. Every ene of them has passed far enough north 'of New Yerk te be without local effect, except in causing brisk southeast te southwest winds. Much damage and less of life en the great lakes would have ' been caused if the navigation season had "net closed. The last et these, the great storm of Jan. 13, originated in the very Irenteref the irrigated region, swept cast I ward ever Kansas, and then northeast 'and down the St. Lawrence. I Gen. Orccly, chief of the signal serv ice, does net believe the change is per manent. He impartially rejects all the theories offered, and says, very truly at any rate very safely that scientific men have as yet no data sufficient te explain such tremendous changes. There is in the popular mind a tendency te believe that the unusual has never happened be "fore, or that it has never been se marked, while, in fact, warm winters have oc curred at irregular intervals through all recorded 'time. It is certain that storms are going east this winter along a line two or three hundred miles north of the usual one, and that n northward "suck" Is thereby created of warm ocean winds; but beyond proving the fact the chief declines te Iks responsible for the weather. 1 1 isn't tee late yet, however. Seme of the coldest "snaps" the country ever suf fered have come in February; but un fortunately they ere, as a rule, very brief, mid the result Is only Bleet and snow. Se where is our ice te come from next summer? Icemen say that the nearest present supply is 500 miles north of New Yerk, but New Orleans humor ously offers te supply the northern cities, K2Til MAI' SHOWINfJ NEW BTOltU CENTER. Tbe Una running north and south shows tin eastern boundary of the old "Great American des ert," the "lint" Ilia supposed new storm center and thn lines from west te east tbe track et the storm et Jan. 1-'-l3. having a machine capacity te manufac ture 1120,000 tens a year, while it only uses 75,000 tens. That would just com plete the joke and make 1890 truly s memorable year. PRESIDENT OF NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE Frank C. Ilanereft, tha Well Known Man ager, Recently Chesen for the l'lace. Frank C. Bancroft, the recently elected president of tbe New England league, whose picture is here given, is one of the best known baseball men in the United States. Ha Is wideawake, Intact, a hustler, as his rec ord will show. He has managed with great success clubs in New Bed ford, Detroit, Wor cester, Providence, Rochester, Phila delphia and Indian apolis. Mr. Ban croft has been very successful in mak ing money for the owners of the clubs he has managed. Mr. Bancroft is authority for the statement that the FRANK C. BANCROFT. New England league will be composed of the following clubs: Springfield, Worcester, Hartferd, New Haven, Previdence, Lewell, BrocUteu and Holyeleo. It Is President Ban croft's intention te organtie the Springfield team. In a recent Interview he remarked that the outlook for baseball in the New Eng land field next season never was brighter. lie Was raid te riay and Flayed. A long while age a comic opera called "Pip pins" was produced at Jehn Stetson's theatre in Bosten. A young man was hired te go en the stage in white fur and caper around and mloeuw like a cat for some ten minutes. The first night the cat act did net seem te please tbe audience, and Stetson ordered it dim away with. Tbe young man demanded a week's salary, however, saying that he had been engaged for a full week. "Very well," said Stetson, "come around every night, then, and earn it." The young man eppeared the next night and stayed through the performance without being called upeu te go en. After it ,wei ever he turned te go, but Stetson stepped him. "Get Inte your cestume nnd give your per 'fermauce," said the manager. "But the performance l. ever." "Npver mind the rest of the show; I'm paying you te act your iart aud you've get te de it." And every uight for the rpst pf the week the young man bail te caper and miaeuw fei ten minutes with Stetson for sole auditor, Ol with a group of stagu hands, whom Btetteu ordered te watch him, looking en and guy kg-' . -. ,Terry Harrington.

"Win or less," says Jehn If. Ward, "tts Players' league will go ahead in 1890." Mr. Werd referred te the great injunc tion salt, the decision of which Is sew pend ing. What he meant was that the new kagM would start with orlwitheut the men who played last season with the National league. The presumption Is that should It be without them they would come te the Play ers' league in 1891. It this decision en the part et the leaders et the Brotherhood league, as announced by Mr. Ward, is honest, It Indicates a confidence la the success et the new movement, net only en the part of the players, but en the part of the backer as well, that la remarkable In view of their own arguments, upon which they base their chance for success. This letter Is for the purpese et presenting the main points upon which the Brotherhood depend for rucceas In tbe battle with their old employers. If ther make it It is written at tbe request et several correspondents, who have asked me te give a resume of tbe Broth erhood slde of the question. The players are sanguine of success, and se are the gentlemen who are aiding them with money. They believe that ball players draw the public like star actors by their individu ality mere than by the merits of the game which they present. They argue that the baseball patrons de net care a picayune for A. O. Spalding, A. H. Beden, Jehn B. Day and ether baseball club owners. They believe that the player of the National league and certain stars el the American association, us being the most skilled men In the profession, will draw the publie te the exclu.ieu et any teams that can be organized by the said A. Q. Spalding, A H. Beden, J. B. Day and ethers. They bo be bo lieve that it will take the old League se leug te educate men te take their places and they will have lest se much money In the opera tion that tbe old League will retire from the business In disgust, leaving the field clear for tbe l'layers' league. It is this abiding faith of the players that ther are the attraction individually which forms the basis et their hope of success. Tbe players at the start counted very large ly upon the sympathy of, the public in th treatment they have heretofore received from the magnates. During the past two months this position has been directly va cated, although indirectly they expect that sympathy for them will preve a big factor in their success, and their supporter:! and agents have been engaged in getting labor organizations te express this sympathy new by resolutions, and they expect that the la boring men everywhere will exprees tbelr sympathy In the summer by hard cash in thn form et fifty cent admission fees. The Brotherhood men justify their seces sion en the ground that the National league has taken advantage of tbetn for years and abused them by oppressive rules, and In a majority of cases by forcing them te play for salaries inadequate te the measure their ability and the profits derived from the game. And as a final clincher tbey bring forth the maxim that every man has a right te go into binJness for himself whenever he desires te de se. The players think that the arrangements for distribution et profits nnd the chance it holds out for them te share In the product of their labor will cause them te play such flne ball that no opposition can, by any possibil ity, touch them, and hence tbey will attract all et the patronage that always gees where tbe best ball is played, and this class, together with personal admirers and sympathizers, will make the game a mint. The prospect for the player Is an alluring one if all theso rosy calculations come out right. The first $2,500 et profit ever and above all expenses will go te a prlze fund et (30,000, from which the players et the lead ing teams will draw down a share. Indeed, it is understood that each team will get some thing out of this purse Then the surplus of profits ever $12, .WO In each club will go Inte a general peel, te be divided equally among the ISO or se players et the league. It will be seen that should this fund amount te $12,000, each player would get about (100, and that If it should amount te (00,000 each player would get (500. Then the players who are stockholders will get a splendid thing out et it in case et moderate success, eveu if thr otber players rheuld get nothing at alL Fer Instance, Ed Hanlen has (4,000 in stock in vested in the Pittsburg Brotherhood club. Should that organization make (12,500 in profits, (2,500 would go te the prize fund, and tlie balance being divided among the stockholders, Hanlen would get (2,000 as hh share, which added te his part of whatevci prize money this team might get, his sala.'y et (3,500 and his sliare of the players' peel in event et succtss would glve him a pietty geed thing. It will be seen that the player stockhelden would have a snap even with moderate suc cess, while In the event et a great success all the players would get something besides tueli salary. These are the inducements that bare in fluenced the player te "go into business for himself" the well te de players because they could be stockholders and double profit sharers, the Improvident players he-onus they might contingently be profit sharers' and even if they were net, they would rather see the well te de players get the profits than these whom once Ward told me all ball play ers considered "their natural enemies," meaning, et course, the magnates who have controlled baseball for the last fourteen years. Tbe Brotherhood men argue that tbe de serters who have left tbelr ranks will net be of any value te tbe league, because that small section of the public patrons of tbe sport who may attend the games of the old League will detest them, and will se deride and taunt tbe men who have returned te tbe lower of tbe magnates that they will be un able te play geed ball. Tbey argue also that the action of these men will forfeit by their desertion of tbe Brotherhood tbe popularity tbey have earned by skillful playing in the past. In fine, tbe Brotherhood players argue and believe that the alleged publie dlslike of tbe magnates, tbe public admiration ter th players individually and collectively, the great skill of theso players, tbe publie sym pathy for them and detestation et Lack Lack sllderi, combined with the inferiority of tbe teams that will form tbe opposition, will make the Players' league s glorious suceea. Personally I believe meU et theso argu ments te be fallacious, but I have tried te oblige my correspondents as fully and fairly as the limits of spacti would pei iiilt. W. I. llAimis.
