AYMAKE A CHANGE ihe local Clul) May Start in the East Instead Out West. TROUBLE ABOUT DATES. Manager Phillips Denies a Sensation al Baseball Rumor. HOMEWOOD PARK'S PROSPECTS. Tlie Poolselling Amendment Will Xot Do the Track Much Good. TALK ABOUT MITCHELL AXD DEMPSEY An unexpected bitch has occurred in , the proposed arrangements lor the "Western trip of the local club next spring. The hitch may prove fatal to the trip, and an Eastern journey may be under taken instead. The matter wiil not be fully determined until Saturday. The cir cumstances were fully explained by Man ager Phillips yesterday altcrnoon. During a conversation he said: "So far I have been unable to secure suit able dates anions the "Western clubs, and unless we can obtain dates that will keep us busy during our trip it will not pay to undertake it. Secretary Scandrctt has written several letters for mo to-day and sent several dispatches away to the 'Western clubs this afternoon, and as soon as the replies to some of them reach me we will know definitely what our programme ot exhibition games will be. Of coarse we have secured some good dates out West, bat tie need more. THE STUMBLISG BLOCK. St. Louis is the stumbling block. We will go East if we don't go West. Wc can have games with Brooklyn and Baltimore and other clubs. If we go East we will open the general season here sooner than expected, because we will bo unable to arrange dates to keep us in the East mntil April 12. At present the arrangement is to commence play on the home grounds on April 13 with Detroit. This arrangement, how ever, will only be carried out it we go "West. If we go East we will make dates with some other clubs to precede Detroit here. The truth is there is considerable difficulty in obtaining clubs to come here in the early Part of April. 1 have written several clubs and received no answer.' Secretary Scandrctt, in a brief talk, said that in his opinion St. Louis would not be a profit able city to visit except (Sunday games are played. Pittsburg's club will not do this. The Secretary went on to say that St. Louis is re markable for giving out exaggerated accounts as to the attendance at the cames. He said: "It is not unusual for a crowd of 4.000 to be esti mated at 10.000." Mr. Scandrctt further ex pressed the opinion that it will be necessary to have a meeting of club officials dunnc this week to take definite action on the spring exhibition games. The desire is to play as many games as possible away from home so that too manymay sot have to be played here. SENSATIONAL BEPOBTS DENTED. During yesterday afternoon reports were published to the effect that the local club was making efforts to sign "Deacon" White along with Rowe. The reports went on to state that 'White docs not want to go to Boston and will come here with Rowe providing Boston's claims on his services can be purchased bv Pittsburg. It nas further stated that the local club had been informed that Dunlap's ankle was not strong and that he is not inclined to play. Thee tacts, it was stated, had prompted the local officials to try and secure White. Two or three reporters tried to see President Nimick to talk to him on the matter, but he unceremoniously gave them the "cold shoul der," evidently not caring whether the press or the public obtained the truth of tlie matter or not. Manager Phillips although, however, put himself to considerable trouble to explain the wnnle matter. He said: "The entire story has been caused bv a harm less remark made by Secretary Scandrett. During a general conversation with some friends he had expressed the opinion that "White would be a good man for the tem, and that be might be secured alone lth Howe. He bad no idea. however, that White would ever get here. We nave never tried to get him, and h e do not intend to try. The truth is I don't think the Bostons would allow him to go to any club outside of their own. He has not treated Boston very weU and that club may be disposed togranthim no privileges. Of course we would take White if we could get him, and if nobody else wanted him. "No, regarding Dunlaplet me say that I had a letter from him yesterday. His ankle is, ac cording to his opinion, as good as it ever was, and it certainly will be news to him to know that it is permanently iniured. Dunlan will be here and T.'ill play the entire season with us if no more accidents occur. Sow, this is the true condition of things. We have not tried to get White nor have we thought of it." Manager Phillips is once more on a fair way of recovery and expects to be out enjoying the fresh air in two or three weeks. THE SCHEDULE MEETING. It Will be Held on Mnrch 5 President Tonne's Bulletin. IEFXCIAt. TELEGIIAM TO TUB DISPATCH.l Washington, January 16. President N. E. Young to-day issued a formal call for the schedule meeting of the League to be held at the Arlington Hotel, Washington. D. C, on the 6:h of March next, which is Tuesday following the inauguration of President-elect Harrison. It was ongina'ly intended that the schedule meeting should be held Friday, March 1, but owing to the great crowd expected here to participate in the inauguration ceremonies, de sirable accommodation for the League magnates at the time is unobtainable. The date fixed appears to be agreeable to all concerned, and it will not conflict with the arrangements certain gentlemen connected with the League have made for attending the inauguration. The Secretary or the League to-day issued the following bulletin of League changes January 15.1889: oh j John F. O'Brien, with Cleveland; P. Lawlers, J. S. Munyan.Cbarleii Bradlev and W. T.

An official of tbe Pnrk Makes an Importnnt Statement. It is now a fact no longer to be concealed that tbe prospects of the Homewood Driving Park for next season are not of the brightest. An official of that very laudable organization made a very important statement last evening regarding tbe matter. He said: "In onr opinion we are convinced that the proposed amendment to the pool-selling law of the State will not benefit Homewood tracK v ery much. Even with tbe amendment we will not be able to sell pools in the city, and that was our great stronghold. On the night before each day's racing the biggest pools of our meetings were sold. We couldn't counterbalance this loss by any means, because to soil pools on the track either in the evening or in the morning would be a failure. Wc would have scarcelv anybody at the selling. I fear that tbe circumstance will interfere almost fatally with the track. The directors of tbe park were summoned to meet this evening on important business, but tbe meeting has been deferred on account of the inability of one or two members to attend. Another for Donocbnc. Hamburg, January 16. Joseph F. Dou ogbue, of New burg, N. Y America's skating champion, who was defeated by the Russian champion Von Panschin by one-fifth of a sec ond In a mile contest at Amsterdam on Sun day, arrived here yesterday just in time to take part in tho race for the Hamburg cup. Though greatly tatitmed from bis long journey he won the race and prize, defeating all the German champions. Some Great Entries. As the dates for the big local dog show get nearer tbe prospects get brighter. Yesterday another large batch of entries were received. the champion mastiff Wacouta Nap, of the Nile's O.. Kennel Olub: the bobtail imported shepheid dog. Sir Lucifer, or Hulton, winner of 12 prizes and Mr. W.H. Bole's two setter bitches, Ben B. and Lady Bessie. MITCHELL'S REPLY. He Pays Ills Respects to Derapsey In Forcible Lnncunse." Jack Dempsey has called Mitchell a "cow ardly bluffer." Here is Mitchell's reply made a few hours before leaving New York on his visit to England: "My position touching the Dempsey-Mitchell controversy can be clearly defined as follows: "First I was anxious to fight John L. Sulli van in prefence to any other man in the world, because he was said to be the greatest living pugilist. I was matched to fight him and the press stated, and the public believed I would never dare to fight him. but I did fight him in France and he was not able to defeat me. The public knows that he and bis seconds coaxed one of my seconds to get me to consent to a draw. The people can draw their own infer ence from this contest with Sullivan as to who the winner wonld have been if the fight had been continued. "In this fight with Sullivan I broke my left hand in the third round. .Since then I have not dared to make a match to fight to a finish with any man. My inability in this respect has given Mr. Jack Dempsey and his supporters an opportunity to say that I was afraid to fight that gentleman to a finisn. Mr. Dempsey has posed before the public as if he had defeated me in the ring. I now state that I have care fully nursed my injured hand in order to ac commodate him with a fight to a finish, but I regret that after consulting an eminent sur geon (Prof. E. L. Keves). I cannot make sach a match. Here I Dr Keycs' letter: No. I Pakk Avexue, New York. January 15, 18S9. I am of the opinion, after examining the left hand of Mr. Charle; Mitchell, that the result of the Injury received is as good as can be ex- pectpa, ana mat any surgical attempt io oeucrii 'woutd probably do more" harm than good. Any furtbci betterment must be watted for as the ellect of rest, time and whatever may come about from the conservative processes of nature. E. L. KETE8. "In conclusion, I wish to state that 1 have made many efforts to get Mr. Dempsey to box with me with small gloves a sufficient number of rounds to show the public who is the better man. "My contest with Mr. Sullivan, who was con sidered the pugilistic marvel of the nineteenth century, ought to be sufficient proof that I am not afraid to fight such a man as Mr. Dempsey if, to use a sporting term. I had the tools namely, good hands. I will add. that if Mr. Dempsey is willing, I will box him 20 or SO rounds with skin gloves when I return in the spring, whether my hands improve or not. "0. MITCHELL." DE3IPSEY AND McCAFFREY. Tho Nonparicl's Strange Offer to Meet tbo Pittsburcer. Jack Dempsey evidently thinks that he has had enough of Dominick McCaffrey, as far as "sparring for points" is concerned. The "Non panel" refuses to meet McCaffrey except in a fight to a finish. The reason is that there is no "place to spar" now. This is interesting news to the public, and would be instructive if thcro was sound logic behind it. All sporting people would like to know where it is possible to fight to a finish where a contest of limited rounds is denied, even if the latter is for points only. Most certainly it is reasonable to expect that authorities, fnends.or whatever the power-that-be may be, will tolerate a scientific contest If they will allow a thorough-going slagging en counter. Without doubt this latest state ment of Mr. Dempsey is hard to understand. But Jack Dempsey makes even a more re markable statement than that. He is quoted as saying: "The rough and tumble fights have haa their effect, and scientific boats have to suffer for them." It is strange that Dempsey would say this, and yet as a public entertainer court a fight to a finish,whicn ordinarily means two men pounding almost the life and soul out of each other. However, the sequel to the entire matter is that those "f oarrinc contests" that yielded thousands of unearned dollars of public money to the contestants are not so fre quently permitted now as heretofore because of their shallowness. As a result we hear of desires and intentions to fight bona-fide prize lights in a country where everybody knows the laws prohibit them. It really, at this period, inteiestmg to refresh one's memory with tho writings of Pierce Egan, which refer to times real prizefighting, and that only, was popular, to find that pugilists were so few, and scan the newspapers of to-day, amid platform and stage exhibitions, to find that pugilists are so numer ous. Howe's Latest Blnfl. Jack Rowc's latest refers to President Ximick's offer to bet that Rowe will play in Pittsburg. He sajs: "Neither White nor myself will leave Buffalo under any circumstances. I seo that President Nimick, of Pittsburg, is re ported as saying that he will give odds that I am to play there next season. Well, he can do no better than shed his money in Buffalo if that's what he is betting. He can find at least one taker. However, I have nothing against the'Pittsburg Club or President Nimick, ex cept that I not going to play there. We signed Andrasand Rainey top.ayin the infield in case White and myself cannot plav, but we will keep tbem in any event. They are both fine plavers. Andrus is one of the quickest men in the business in getting to first base, and both men are powerlul hitters." On tbe Pnvlng Plan. Elmer Smith, the famous Pittsburg pitcher, now under reserve by the Cincinnati team, talked about baseball matters yesterday after noon. He said: "I don't think any of the old players in onr team will sign nntil the spring. The object of this is to save advance money. The directors are becoming economical, and they will sign us in tbe latter part of April, when thev may give ns about SjO or 100 each to practice for a few weeks." Elmer is looking as bright as a new dollar and is full of vigor. Booming Wannup. Boston, Mass., January 16. The Athenaeum Club offered a parse of 500 for a ten-ronnd glove contest between Jack Asliton and Jack Wannup. the English pugilist, now in this city. Wannup accepted, but Ashton wanted a 81.000 purse, SbOO to winner. $200 to loser. A friend of Wannup. in England, is prepared to back him acainst Jem Smith for the championship of Encland on his return. Wannup will remain in this city till after the Lannon and Godfrey exhibition, and try and get on a match with the winner. WlkofTa Bulletin. Columbus, O., January 16. Wheeler Wikoff, Secretary of the American Association, has issued the following bulletin: Contracts, 18S9 With Brooklyn, Michael F. Hughes; Columbus. James McTamany. William F. Greenwood; Louisville. Phillip H. Tomnev; Syracuse, Grant Bngcs, Moses F. Walker, Joseph V. Battin; Rochester, Thomas Calthan; Detroit, V. S. Anderson. Released from reservation By Bal timore, William F. Greenwood; Syracuse, A. Shelhasse; Toronto, D. Connors. Sporting; Notes. Cleveland has signed Pitcher Sprague. Jim Fell wants, or says he wants, to fisrht Mike Conly. Pat Killen says that when he is ready to fight "dogs, pigs and niggers," he will meet Peter Jackson. The latest is that Dominick McCaffrey and Fallen, will not be allowed to spar anywhere publicly in the East. It is stated that tbe police authorities of the Western cities will not allow either Dcmsey or anybody else to spar publicly in their baili wicks. Eu. Swart wood says that Hamilton has re leased all of its players except four, including himself. This is somewhat tough on genial Edward. HAimr Smith, that mysterious New York amateur pedestrian, repeats his offer to run Nikirk or Priddy a halt mile race, if they will pat up a forfeit, Nikirk and Priddy are out of town. If Jimmy Carroll whips Blakelock before the California Athletic Club on January 20, he will challenge Jem Carney for an international fight. It is more than probable that the winner of the Carroll-Blakelock mill will challenge tbe winner of the McAuliffe-Myers fight Jack Glasscock is in favor of the Indian apolis club opening the season at home with the Cleveland. He says that by winning the first games the club would start out confident in its ability to bold its own with the best of tbem. But what abont it if Cleveland winsT Manager Lead lev, of tho Detroit club, presents this point anentthe new salary limit in his League: "Suppose a couple of players have to lay off on account of injuries, as often happens. Their pay is not slopped and the club is compelled to get new men to supply their places This could not be done without a violation of the rule." It now looks as if the trip of the New York colts to Havana would go through. Manager Mutrie has received estimates from the steam boat and hotel people, and is arranging the guarantees and other details with the manager of the Havana club. If the trio ts made thev will leave New York about February 16, anil return abont March 15. Games will also be ar ranged with the Key West Club and other strung teams in that part of the country. THE extension ot time granted to the Hamil ton Baseball Club to make their deposit of 1,200 ith the Secretary of the International Ba-eball Association expired Tuesday. Hamil ton has not deposited the money and'President Miller has enno to New York to consult with Manager Chapman about the admission of Newark and Jersey City, both of which are represented to have been playing smart, and holding ont inducements that they might join almost any of the minor leagues. AFKEEANDFAIRVOTE Will Be Demanded by President Harrison in His Inaugural. ALL FRAUDS NOT IN THE SOUTH. Bat the Suppression of the Southern Colored Population HAS KEPT OUT THE TEEE1T0EIE8. Ferity of the Billot a Question Which Most Not be Decided by Ki-Bebels. rsrrcuu. tilt-qham to toe sisfatch.i Indianapolis, January 16. General Harrison has completed that part of his in augural address that refers to the South. It is not very long nor yet very sensational, but it is to the point In the address it will be combined with the Territorial subject and the election reform subject, and the underlying' theme of the whole matter will be the necessity for a tree and fair ballot. The principle of control by the majority, General Harrison says, is the bottom prin ciple, corner stone or foundation of tbe structure of development of the American people. Everything else about the govern ment he calls mere oramentation. The ques tion of a free and equal ballot he declares is a dominant one embracing all others, be cause it involves the question of a free and fair tribunal to which every question shall be submitted for arbitration and final de termination. He warns the people that this principle of Government by a majority expressed by a free and equal ballot is not only threatened, but has been to a great extent overturned; that not only have the rights of free citizenship been abrogated to a certain extent, but that the matter has gone so far that the industries of the country and the welfare and prosperity of the workingmen dependent, to an extent, upon those in dustries, have been threatened because the laboring vote in a large part of the country is suppressed. SUPPRESSING THE COLORED VOTE. As to the South directly, he says that no one wishes ill to that section; that, on the contrary, it is the desire of every good citi zen that her prosperity shall not only be maintained but shall increase, "that the stream of her prosperity shall run full," as the President elect once expressed it public ly. It is not a question, he insists, of what has occurred once upon a time, but of what is occurring now. This is, he states, the almost entire suppression of the colored Re publican vote at the South upon national questions, by which is manufactured a ma jority that has kept out of the Union a vast community ot free, intelligent and local cit izens who have been for years petitioning for admission to the privileges of lull citi zenship. The question is not a Southern one, he allesres, but a national one. He finds especially deplorable tbe evi dence on every hand that tbe persistent sup pression 01 me votes, 01 tue worisingmen in one section of the country has demoralized the trust in the sanctity of the ballot. The general belief that corrupt and improper in fluences have come to have a great influence in determining the results even of Presi dental elections, the tally sheet forgeries and similar crimes in many States outside of the South, the revolutionary proceeding in other States whereby duly elected officers have been prevented from exercising the functions for which the people had chosen; the evidences of the danger that threatens free institutions through the failure of gen eral faith in the fairness of the ballot. orrosED to gerrymandering. The practice of gerrymandering States' in Congressional and Legislative apportion ments for the purpose of suppressing the majority and giving to the minority a power and influence in legislative bodies to which it is not entitled will also, probably, be referred to in this connection, although this part of the address has not yet been fully considered. A previous reference of the President elect to this subject, which embodies the idea that he will put into his inaugural ad dress, was: "Tbe equality of the ballot de mands that onr apportionments in States for Legislative and Congressional purposes shall be so adjusted that there shall be an equality in the influence and in the power of every elector, so that it shall not be true anywhere that one man counts for two or one and one-half and some other man counts for only one half." In the same line were some remarks he made only a short time before he was nomi nated, which, although of a nature im proper to be put into an inaugural address, vet, will better than a summary of the language of the inaugural itself indicate the spirit in which the General Harrison's references to the South and to election re forms generally are conceived. EEMEDIES SUGGESTED. He said: "There may he legislative remedies in Eight when we can once again possess both branches of tbe National Congress and have an Executive at Washington who has not been created by these crimes against the ballot Whatever they are, we will seek thjem out and put them into force. Not in a spirit of enmity against the men who fought against us forgetting the war, but only insisting that now, nearly a quarter of a century after it is over, a free ballot shall not be denied to the Republicans in those States where rebels have been rehabited with full citizen ship. Every question wa the settlement of this. The tariff question would be settled already if the 6,000,000 of black laborers in the South had their due representation in the House of Representatives." There will be other references to the South in the inaugural address in the part that deals with the tariff question, and they will, it is understood, be of a nature to please what has come to be known as the "business element" of this section, but they have all to be perfected. THE INAUGURAL UNFINISHED. None of the address will be absolutely finished nntil a few days before it is deliv ered, certainly not until after the President elect has gone to "Washington. "What is being done now is the drafting of the vari ous sections separately. They will be joined together and the verbiage smoothed out and perfected afterward. Another part of the address that is pretty well under way is the part dealing with civil service reform, and, contrary' to the views of his friend, Lew Wallace, the President-elect, will flirt gid dily with the Chinese goddess of whom the mugwumps are the high priests. Whatever he may do in practice, in his address General Harrison will give utter ance to sentiments upon the subject of office and office holders that need not call the blush of shame to thecheekeven of George William Curtis. Hoosier politicians who are close to him affirm, however, that his affection for the almond-eyed first cousin to the famous star-eyed dame of Kentucky is purely pla tonic, and will not worry him any after the address is tied np with red tape and laid away in the executive archives.

BACKUS ARRAIGNED. The Deienso Will Endenvor to Show That Another Mnn YVns Guilty. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH Greensburg, Pa., January 16. The trial of Nicholas Backus for the murder of James Green at Scott Haven, four months ago, was begun in the court here this morn ing. The case is making very little head way, and will, in all probability, consume the time of the court until Saturday. There were four witnesses for the prosecution ex amined to-day, the most important being Terry Donnelly, who testified that he saw Backus approach Green with a butcher knife drawn, and although he did not see the stabbing, he saw Green fall, and when he examined him a moment afterward he dis covered he was dead. The other witnesses testified that while they were present at the dance and witnessed disturbance between the guests, they did not see the defendant have a knife or approach Green. The counsel for the defendant will endeavor to prove that the murder was com muted by another member of the party, who it is alleged was seen to run away from the vicinity of the row just after Green fell. QUIETLY LAID AWAY. The Lust Sad Rites Over tbo Remains of Sirs. Jay Gould. New York, January 16. Every effort was made to-day by the sorrowing members of the Gould family to have the funeral services of Mrs. Jay Gould conducted as quietly and privately as possible. The body was laid in the front parlor. It was encased in a plain, black cloth-covered casket, with unique silver handles. Flowers were scattered over the lid of the casket, and at its head and foot were floral emblems. Qn the silver plate was the inscription, "Helen Day Gould." The attendance at the service was not large. Mr. Jay Gould did not appear among his friends, but remained with his family in one of the recesses of the stairway just above where the services were conducted. About an hour after the services the re mains were taken to Woodlawn Cemetery for interment.- Following the hearse was a carriage fcontaining Mr. Jay Gould and Miss Helen Gould, her daughter. In the next carriage were the other members of the family, George, Eddie, Frank and Hannah. Several'other relatives ocenpied four other carriages. A GRAND AEMY MAN KILLED.

He had returned home unexpectedly, and appeared to have reason for believing that the General had been indulging in improper conduct with Mrs. McManes. Mr. McConnell received a bullet in the back and another in the hip. He was picked up by the excited neighbors, who came rushing out at the sound of the firing. McManes gave himself un. He says there is good ground for thinking the relations between his wife and the General have been flagrant and long continned. WHITE CAPS IN NEW ENGLAND. A Victim Una Thirteen of Them Arrested and Fined. North Salem, N. H., January 16. John Welsh had been living somewhat in discreetly, and "White Caps" called him to the door of his, house on Christmas night, carried him a short distance, removed his clothing, coated him with grease and lamp black, and forced from him a promise to leave town, taking upon themselves to see that the promise was kept. Welsh went to Portsmouth, and informed a lawyer of th&outrage, and the lawyer en gaged the services of the Pinkerion detective agency in Boston, which sent a detail of men to work up the case. This has resulted in the arrest of 13 of the "White Caps." They were finned $15 and costs eacb, which they paid. Squeezed Between Can.

MPAHOPEFUUODX Window Glass Manufacturers' Asso ciation Meets at Washington. NATUBAL GAS AND IMPORTATION Cause Oyer Production, and the Prospect is Discouraging. WAGES WILL HATE TO BE BEATJUSTED la Order to Meet the Other Changes In the General Situation. rSrxCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH. Washington, January 16. "I am sorry I have no cheering news to give you," said Mr. Frank L. Bodine, of Philadelphia, the handsome and genial President of the Association of Window Glass Manufact urers, "for I know you would rather print good news than bad, but there is nothing encouraging to say in regard to the situa tion. If you will talk to a glass manufact urer yon will find you are talking to a man who is feeling pretty blue. We did abso lutely nothing at our meeting to-day but simply hear reports and discuss the condi tion of business. Everybody agreed it was bad, and not a single resolution looking to a remedy was introduced. "We can't do anything. We must sim ply wait for the problem to work: itself out. Glass manufacturers are losing mdney. They lost heavily during the last year. It is very plain that something must drop if we go on increasing the manufacture away beyond the point of consumption, with for eign competition growing fiercer and fiercer every year, and the tariff not high enough to check the impetus." INCREASED PRODUCTION. "Look at these figures," continued Mr. Bodine, taking up a little book. "Here you will see that from 1880 to 1888 there was an increase of from 700 to over 1,200 pots in actual operation. The product of the blast of last year is 200,000 boxes greater than that of the previous year, and that is all in the hands of the manufacturers. Of course, the consumption increased also, but uot to keep pace with the production. The con sumption of both the American and the im ported article wnsvery large last year, but the prices were ruinous on account of the great output and the immense importations. "The increase of importations last year over the previous year was 120,000 boxes, and the total exportations amount ed to more than 750,000 boxss, which is 37 per cent of the entire consump tion. The stock in the hands of the Ameri can manufacturers is 550,000 boxes, as against 350,000 boxes for the previous year. No, a higher tariff alone will not solve the problem. The tariff is already high. We must curtail the product and sell cheaper glass, iio w to ao that we have not devised. We are selling cheap now, but it is at a loss. We must sell cheap and make a profit LOWER 'WAGES. "While we do not want low wages, it is my impression that there will have to be a rearrangement ot wages. There has been no material change in this department since tha great advance of seven or eight years ago, and I think it will soon have to take its share of the burden involved in the changed conditions. Yes, I fancy the busi ness suffers very much the same drawbacks in nil its departments. Perhaps tbe flint bottle trade is somewhat of an improvement over the others." "Have the manufacturers who nse nat ural gas any great advantage over those who do not?" asked The Dispatch reporter. "Well, in some respects tbey have an advantage, but I do not think it is what was expected in the beginning of the use of that gas. There are many other things to consider. Most of the increase, in fact nearly all of it, in the number of pots in operation, which I have cited to you, is in the natural gas territory west of Pittsburg, principally in Ohio and Indiana. When the movement began in that direction I went and looked into the matter carefully to see it j. wouiu oe justined in.transrerring my business to that field, and I decided not to do it." ,. , r ' - The session of the manufacturers was very short, and a final adjournment was taken to meet at New York next. Julv. The Pittsburgers in attendance are Messrs. Thomas Wightman, J. A. Chambers, C. W. Phillips, Daniel McKee, W. S. Cunning ham, J. O. Campbell, John J. O'Learv, William Loeffler, John L.

Unfair Treatment of tbo Employes of the Burena of Engraving. fFrr.CIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Washington, January 16. Every other department of the Government, with the exception of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, gives its employes 30 days' leave of absence, with pay, each year. An attempt is being made to extend this boon to the bureau mentioned, but it bids fair to fail on account of the opposition of Chief Groves and Assistant Chief Sullivan, both of whom take their 30 days with great alacrity. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is the hardest worked bureau in the Govern ment service, and this seems to be an unjust discrimination against a class of employes who are entitled to at least as much consider ation as the employes ot the Government printing office, the Treasury Department or the Pension office, and would unquestion ably receive it if their interests were pro tected by those who should look after their welfare. But Graves has been very much incensed by the attacks made by the plate printers oh his conduct in office, particularly in the introduction of steam presses, for which a high royalty is paid -or very poor printing, and this is one of his methods of getting re venge. SOME CENSUS CHANGES. Commissioner Wrleut Reports Against Enumeration by the Separato States. tSFKCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCn.l Washington, January 16. The Senate Censns Committee resumed this morning the consideration of the census bill. The committee has caused to be published the suggestions made by Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, Major William Warner, Commander in Chief of the G. A. Kr, and Representative Atkinson, of Penn sylvania. Commissioner Wright, in his statement to the committee, calls attention to the fact that the act of 1879 provided for the taking of a census in any State, the "United States to pay for one-half the ex penses, provided any State should elect to do so. "Several States," said the Commissioner, "undertook tocompile this census, but, so far as accomplishing the object sought by Congress was concerned, the work was a failure." That provision has been stricken but of the bill. States, however, should be induced to take a census. It should be done by in ducing the States to take their own census and furnish a certain class of information to Congress, for which Congress will remuner ate the States. In the.last census very lew States took interest enough in the matter to carry out instructions properly."

That la What Indiana Legislators Call Each Other The Republican Leader Slay bo Expelled Fierce Po litical Fights. Indianapolis, January 16. In the House to-day the Democratic majority adopted a set of rules which put a decided limit to the power of the minority to ob struct desired legislation. The Eepublican members denounced the new rnles as gag law, and made a vigorous and unavailing fight against their adoption. At the afternoon session of the Senate, dnring the discussion of the resolution pro viding for the appointment of 20 additional doorkeepers, an exciting scene took place. Senator Johnson, the Republican leader, was vigorously opposing the resolution on the grounds that the statute provided for only seven assistants to the Doorkeeper, all of whom were already appointed, and that the additional 20 were unnecessary. He offered an amendment providing that the 20 assistants should be ex-Federal soldiers. In the midst of Johnson's argument Sen ator Smith, from Huntington, said: "You are the man that struck an old sol dier at the previous session." Johnson retorted that the statement was unqualifiedly without foundation. Senator Griffith, sitting near Johnson, said: "It is true," whereupon Johnson, suffused with rage, turned upon Griffith and gave him the lie direct. Many Senators rose in their seats, and the scene was dramatic and excit ing. Lieutenant Governor Chase, however, pre served order and t sustained Johnson's motion, that the resolution was contrary to statute and consequently out of order. The Senate, however, on appeal, overruled Chase, and the resolution, with the soldier amendment, was adopted by a strictly party vote. Senator Griffith apologized to the Senate tor his language maintaining his assertion was truthful but ill-timed. Senator Johnson followed with a scathing speech, defying Griffith to repeat his lan guage outside the Senate chamber, and boldly denouncing him. He made no apol ogy either to the Senate or to any member. In legislative circles to-night the quarrel is the sole topic, and there is serious talk of a resolution being introduced to-morrow to expel Senator Johnson, which, if carried, will cost tbe Republicans their most ag gressive Senator.

Continued from Firtt Page. monev fraudulently nrocured from the Enter prise savings Bank. The evidence does not disclose any collusion or conspiracy, but on thecontrarythatMcClnre and Freyvogle did not know Qninn was pUy ing with Dixon's money. They plaved on each side merely to nnlawf oily get as ranch money as tbey could, entirely independent of tbe own ership of it or the source of supply. Freyvogle having won no money net from Quinn. none of his deposit in tbe Dnqnesne National Bank be longs to tbe plaintiff. McClure, in uncontra dicted testimony, accounts for most of his de posits mere irom otner sources; so mat none ot it can lor a certainty do tne property of the plaintiff. THE LEGAL PHASES OF IT. The question of equity jurisdiction was raised and discussed before me. There is no specific prayer for relief in tbe bill, except the prayer for an injunction. It may be that the Court, after obtaining equity jurisdiction by reason of tbe necessity for an injnnction. might proceed to adjudicate the ownership of the funds concerning which the injunction was issued, under the general prayer for equitable relief adapted to the circumstances of the case: but I take it that, if there is no equitable right to be protected by the injunction, the Injunc tion itself was improperly Issued, and should not be continued. Tbe only allegation I can find in the bill that could be so construed as to bring the bill within any of the grounds for the jurisdiction of a court of equity, as laid down in the Fennsyl vaniastatutes, are the allegations of the fraud, collusion and conspiracy of -McClure, Frey vogle and Quinn to defraud the plaintiff of bis money, and I presume it was on the strength of these allegations that the Conrt granted the preliminary injunction. The solicitor for the plaintiff very properly insisted that the Court, having once recognized the propriety of the remedy by issuing the preliminary injunction, it was not for the Master to qnestion it: bnt whereas in this case tho Conrt took jurisdic tion on the strength of the allegations in tbe bill which were not proven, and which no ef forts whatever were made to prove, but which, on the contrary, were found both by the plain tiff's and defendant's evidence to be ENTIRELY UNFOUNDED IN FACT, I consider it the duty of the Master to find that, upon the plaintiff's case as presented be fore him, a court of equity has no jurisdiction of tho subject matter of the suit, and I there fore so find. As I remarked before, the bill does not pray for an adjudication of the ownership of tbe fund in tbe Duquesne National Bank; but on the bearing it was claimed that it should be decreed to the plaintiff. I do not think It should be awarded to the plaintiff, because' First I do not think there is sufficient evi dence to show that any portion of it was ever tbe plaintiff's money. Second If it had been the money of the plaintiff, I do not think a court of equity has any power or jurisdiction in tnls case to decree that tho bans should pay said money to the plaintiff. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the pre liminary injunction should be dissolved, and that the bill should ne dismissed at tbe cost of the plaintiff, and I submit herewith a form of decree to that effect. Henrt A. Davis, Master. January 16, 1889. This decision will be augmented in in terest by a knowledge of the fact that Frey vogle andMcClure's friends are doing all in their power to secure Executive pardon for them from the excessive sentence to the workhonse, which was imposed largely, without a doubt, because the Court believed tbem guilty of the conspiracy from which they are now legally absolved.
