IfiQ LIS'SE . 6 'HORACE IS KICKING, . The Local Manager's Strong I Complaints Al)ont the LWEEY CRUDE SCHEDULE. Important Baseball Deals Litely to be Made. k flEW RULES FOR TROTTING RACES. FThe Annual Meeting of the Pittsburg Cricket Club. IGE2TEEAL SPOETIXG HEWS OP THE DAT L'J" Manager - Horace Phillips, of the local jfclub, returned from "Washington last even Suny, -where he had been attending the League meeting. Horace looked none the "better for his trip, as he had a sick spell 'when at the capital. Last evening he spoke strongly abont the new schedule, and 1 according to his opinion a worse schedule Jv couldn't well be arranged. & "I don't find fault with it," he said, 'be cause we have not gotten our share of the jgood things. "We have been well attended to in that respect, as we open with Chicago and close with Boston. We have New York here on the fourth and also on Labor Day. We are t also well taken can of for Saturdays. But the Jjgreat and serious objection to the schedule is Fits "bad general arrangement. Its promoters idid not devote sufficient time to preparing it. pThe committee, Messrs. Day, Brash and Hew , xtt, had not a schedule arranged on which they jt could agree, and they formulated the one adopted in about three hours. A VERY CBUDE SCHEDULE. J , "As a result it is constructed in a very crude , way. We are scheduled to play about four 'games at home in seven weels. We go West Hand then East and then West again, with the exception of four games. This is a bad ar rangement. Again, the schedule has clubs ".playing against each other for seven or eight Straight games. For instance, Hew York plays ns four games here in July, and when those games are finished we go straight to New York. If we should loe three of the four here against New York we cannot expect to draw eiy jStrongly at New York. We have a similar ar rangement with Cleveland. It is on the gen , eral principle of the schedule that I base my objections, and I predict that it will be a very unsatisfactory one to everybody. I appeared before the committee at 4.15 In the afternoon and urged my objections until nearly 12 o'clock. Mr. Nimick signed it, of course, but he em phatically objected to it and only signed it so that the meeting could be terminated." t Mr. Phillips stated that Detroit's resignation r was not submitted, so that nothing was said t "about the Kowe and White matter. "It De troit's resignation had been handed In," said , Sir. Phillips, "we would have laid claim to both Eowe and White." According to the manager there were many IMPORTANT SEALS TALKED OF I among the magnates, some of which may yet go through. New York came surprisingly to front with a bid for Jerry Denny. Indianapolis has bought Boyle, Denny, Glasscock and Myers, and President Day offered Arthur "Whitney, Mickey Welch. Hatfield and S3.000 for Denny. As tempting as an offer like this looked the Hoosiers relused it. Washington then came to the front and ottered $6,000 cash for Denny, and this was more attractive. This may be accented to-day m conjunction with another deal, by which Jim Whitney will be traded for Healy, of the Indianapolis club. The Senators are of opinion that Healy will do good work this year, and as Whitnev is dissatisfied about his salary they want to dis pose of him. They are willing", therefore, to give SS.000 and Whitney for Dennv and Healy. Jtfr. Phillips thinks this deal will be con summated The Hoosiers were also inquiring earnestly about John Coleman. They think he will make a better first baseman than Schceueck. The latter, it is claimed, has only one good point, viz-, in catching a thrown ball. It is thought that Coleman is his superior by far, and it is probable that a direct offer will be made for him shortly. If a reasonable offer is made it is likely that the local club will sell him. The magnates, in expressing their opinions about the various clubs, spoke well of the Fittsburgs, and many of them were confident that the pitching power of the club is the strongest in the country. Speaking of the schedule yesterday, Secre tary Scandrett said: "We have just twf games inMyy. the best baseball month of the year, and have four paydays before June 1 and only eight games. Besides, from June 1 to August ,J0 we have 43 games at home. Of the 27 play ing games in August we have 21 games to plav at home. This is the poorest baseball month , In the year. Of course. New York is a good t team to play here July 4. The cnampions will ' draw a big crowd. But there was no reason why we. should goto Philadelphia on Decora tion Day. We were there last year." THEIR ANNUAL MEETING. Pittsburg Cricketers Elect Officers and Hear Excellent Reports. The annual meeting of the Pittsburg Cricket Club was held last evening at the Hotel Du- quesne. Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker occupied .the chair, and there was a eood attenda.no 'The Secretary and Treasurer's report was an excellent one and showed the club to be in a jDetter nnanciai standing than it has ever been. A balance of $150 was declared, and this is - (more than the club has ever cleared in a season after paying all expenses. Mr. A. Burrows, the professional, was re-engaged. 5 The following gentlemen were elected to fill s the various offices during the next 12 months: ' President. J. E. Schwartz; Vice President, Colonel J. M.

V The clnb's prospects for the year are of the ( brightest kind. It has a membership of 300. -r and an athletic meeting on a large scale will beheld during the summer. The club will play matches against all the leading teams in t the country, and it is liLel v that the big match r between the East and the West will be nlavivl here this year. The club will also hold a tennis. tournament. MATCHED AGAIN. IWelr and Slarpby Once More Acree to Fight Near Chicoco. I rCTWTlT. TFY.T3TAW TO TTTV Ttllwm . Boston; March 5.

Important Meetins; of the American Trottlne Association New RejmlntlonsforEntriei and IUneers General Offices to be In Chicago. Chicago, March 6. The American Trotting Association spent the forenoon to-day in an In formal discussion of certain proposed changes In the "rules. These changes are extensive enough to cover 15 closely type-written pages, and are designed to remedy defects in the existing rules and to cover a large number of individual cases which have arisen during the year. This afternoon the following officers were elected for the ensuing two years: President, Charles Greene, St. Louis, Mo.; First Vice President, D. C. Beaman, Ottnmwa, Iowa; Board of Directors, C. L Benjamin, Michigan; W. P. Ijams, Indiana; O. C. Lewis, Illinois: G. B. HcFall, Iowa; John Farley, Ohio. The congress closed this evening. A number of alterations were made in both the by-laws and track rules. The principal one In the former -was the admission of all of the 31S local associations on the association rolls to active membership. Two-thirds of these have heretofore been known as "Transients." and have had no vote In the association meetings. Some of the many changes in the track rules are important. Heretofore, ownersand drivers of horses have been in the habit of entering horses in races provisionally and upon condi tions imposed by themselves. These were often weather, condition of track, etc In future all entries must be absolute or upon conditions named by the local association. In the case of those who maku false entries and who have been subject to a fine at the op tion of the association, it was decided that in the future the fine must be imposed. To the rule providing for the proper identification of horses was added a clause that any driver or owner who shall refuse to testify when called upon in casps before the association, shall be fined, but not more than $100. which may be re mitted if the testimony is forthcoming before the case is decided. In the rule which establishes the pay of a substitute driver tit 10 per cent of the amount awarded the horse, conditionally upon the driver bettering the position of the horse, a change was made which provides that the judges, if they think the driver is driving to win, shall award him a snm not exceeding 1G0. This is to be paid by the local association, and if the dnver betters the position of tne horse the amount awarded may be deducted from the winnings of the horse. "Suspended horses" will hereafter be in cluded in the clause which says that suspended drivers and owners n no shall enter a race shall be Sued. The privilege allowing persons six weeks in which to file protests was altered, and theymnst now do so at once or forfeit the right. The latest important change was the barring of 2-jear-olds from 3-year-old races un less especially provided in the local society. A resolution directing the President and directors as a committee to investigate the legal obstructions to the removal of the princi pal business office of the association from De troit to Chicago was presented, and after much discussion, laid on the table for action at the next meeting. Many favored Chicago as the best location for the office, but the association is organized under the laws of Michigan, and it was decided better to postpone action until a fuller representation was present. The con gress adjourned to meet in this city two years hence. TEEDIER WILL ROW SEARLE. The McKceiporter Has a Friend Who Talks Business. . Speaking of the recent boat rade "between Teemer and Gaudaur yesterday, a gentleman interested in John Teemer said: "We have always had money and plenty of it to back Teemer against Gaudaur. Sunday's race was a foregone conclusion, not only with professionals but with the public, simply be cause Teemer is a better rower than Gaudaur, and O'Connor defeated Teemer with a lot to spare at Washington. Of course Teemer is ready at any time to row Gaudaur for an up and np stake. The McKeesport man will' probably be ready to take another shy at O'Connor before the year closes. Teemer can row better than many people think. He under rated O'Connor at Washington, or more cor rectly speaking, he did not credit O'Connor with the staving qualities that he, O'Connor, possessed. I still have faith in Teemer, al though we are all convinced that O'Connor is a remarkable man. Certainly, I think him good enough to beat any Australian. If Searle would come here Teemer will row him for a stake large enough to pay all expenses for the journey and a little over." GRANT WON. The Scotcbmnn Captures the Sheffield nnd the Americans Beaten. G. Grant, the Scotchman, won the Sheffield, Shrovetide handicap, England, on Tuesday. Flynn and Peet, the Americans, were beaten in their second heats. They were drawn to compete in the same heat, and J. Smith, of Chester, defeated Flynn by a foot, and Flynn was a yard in front of Peet. In the final, Grant, off the S2-yard mark, was a 5 to 1 favorite and won with ease. Grant, the winner is a 6-foot Scotchman. He won a big handicap at bis home about a year ago. He has improved lately and is considered a better than even time man. He is about 21 years of age and very well developed. Dick Ford, manager of the handicap grounds in Sheffield, has been backing him recently. PITTSBDRGERS PLEASED. Local Enthnsinsts Satisfied With the Na tional League Schedule. The popular opinion, that Is the general opin ion of local baseball enthusiasts, is to the effect that the Pittsburg club has been dealt with very considerately by the schedule makers. Everybody is pleased, in fact delighted, that the New Yorks, the champions of the world, will be here on July 4. Another important feature of the schedule is that Chicago will open the season here, and there is also general satisfaction that Boston will close it. It may be that Boston will be near the top of the list at the close, at least the "oig" authorities think'that the Beancaters will win the pen nant. A Horse's Revenge. "I will just tell you a story," said Mr. Foster L Backus, "about the memory and reasoning power possessed by a horse on my father's farm. This horse was in the habit of making journeys about the neighborhood in charge of a certain groom, who was coarse, ignorant, low and cruel. The horse had been bronght np on our farm, and was very good tempered and gentle, but the groom's roughness and fondness for laying on the whip confused him so much that he was not prompt in obeying orders some times. Then the groom beat and bullied him. The horse never showed the slightest sign of resentment until one day the groom ap proached him in the pasture field. The horse was free for the first time in the presence of his enemy, and he charged the groom. A short halter was around his neck, and the groom seized this and hung on. The horse tried to strike him with his forefeet; tried to bite and kick him. The man dodged and shouted for aid. "The fight was desperate and very exciting. The horse fairly roared with rage. The groom was nearly fagged out, and in another five minutes would have been knocked down and trampled to death, when my father came on the scene. He seized the halter and told the groom to run. As soon as he was gone the horse subsided and was as docile as ever. Now I am satisfied that the horse deliberately planned to kill that groom at the first favorable opportunity See how carefully he chose the time and place of the assault. A lonely pasture field where he had his enemy all to himself. He had never shown the faintest sign of vic iousness before. The groom kept away from him after that, and the horse nevertaf terward was known to exhibit rage. If he bad killed the groom it would have been murder in the first degree, for the element of deliberation was there. Yes, sir; horses have reason, and they have memory also." Brooklyn Eagle. No Vso for White. CotustBCS, O., March 10. Yesterday after noon a deal was completed by which O'Connor, of the Columbus club, will be exchanged for Will White, of the St. Louis Browns. Presi dent Von der Ahe has no use for White now that he has signed Fuller, while Columbus can use the St. Louis .plaver as a utility man. It is understood that Columbus gave a bonus for White. It they are not successful in securing Johnson the new man will be put on third base. The fee. Paul's la Line. The St. Paul's school club has reorganized for the season of ISS9, with the following players: Ed Flaherty, J. Duffy, F. McKenna, B. Rcilly, T. Kearny, J. Coleman. W. McGarry, A. Hearly, Harry Kearos, T. Dnnnlvan, C. Mo Shane. Address all challenges to Ed Flaherty, No. 84 Ann street, city. The Cnptain's Stable. Captain Sam Brown's stable is In excellent condition. He is now in Mobile, and intends to visit if ew Orleins during the celebration of Mardi Gras. The Cap'tain speaks well of Re porter. He says that Bine Wing and Stuyve santwill join the racing string as they go North, and they leave Mobile on April 6. Troubadour will not .go into training again. vnia "' Stuyvesant will be used in the" Bind during the early part of the season. - ( NOT FOR BOSTON. President Day Says a Few Words Abont Johnny Ward. Regarding Ward's case, President Day says: "When we closed our season last fall, I had a long talk with Ward, and he assured me it was his earnest desire to leave New York. Certain contingencies had arisen which made it desira ble on his part to play elsewhere and he was frank enough to tellme-so. At that time he said he would agree to any proposition that I might make with regard'to his services. He was perfectly willing to be sold to Boston or Washington. I took him atlns word and sold, him to Washington." I have frequently stated in the Herald my position in the matter and nothing has occurred to change my views. The agreement was made in good faith and will be so kept on my part. Of course, I do not wish to part with Ward. No manager would, for he is a valuable man, but why keep a player, no matter how clever, if be is dissatisfied and de sires to leave? That is the only way to look at it from a business standpoint and that is the way I looked at it." "Then you think, Mr. Day, that Ward will play in Washington T" "I don't see why he should not He will 80 far as I am concerned." "How abont Boston. Is there any truth in the report that he will play there next season?" "Not the slightest. In my opinion he will play right here in Washington. I have heard nothing from Ward since he left with the around-the-world party, and Mr. Hewitt tells me that since his sale to him he has heard noth ing. All the contradictory stories you see printed are, in my judgment, pure inventions." Gnmbtrl's Demands. Ad Gnmbert, the local pitcher, is anxious to know whether or not the Chicago club Is pre pared to pay him $3,000 for next season. Gum bert's demands are somewhat high in the esti mation of the Chicago officials, bnt doubtlessly he thinks he is worth the amount he demands.. In a letter to the Secretary of the club he stated that he must have $3,000 or he won't play at all. It may be that Ad will n6t play with the Chieagos this year. Kllrnln's Departure. Baltimore, March 6. Jake Kilrain will leave here Monday for New York. Thursday, March 14, he will sail for .Liverpool. He says that he w,ill be ready to meet Sullivan after his return, provided Sullivan isln perfect health, as he wants to fight him at his best or not at all. Signed Sullivan. Chicago, March 6.-J. W, Waltz, Vice President of the Baltimore Baseball Club, and acting as agent for Chairman "William Barnie, of the Umpire Committee, signed D. F. Sulli van, of Chicago, to-day, as umpire for the sea son. This fills the staff. Sporting Notes. Spaldci G's teams will play in Paris to-morrow. Vox see Ahe refuses to take his men to Hot Springs this year. It is whispered that "Deacon" White is sure to come to Pittsburg this year. The Senators evidently mean to have good talent this year if money will buy it. There are letters in this office for "William Nolan anM Peter Friddy, the pedestrians. JIa-aqek PmiLirs says that the first nine Saturdays the club plays at home are half holidays. The Decker case was not mentioned at the League meeting; nor was the Brotherhood represented. The Keystone Bicvcle Club decided last evening to donate S25 to the L A. W. The club may move its headquarters to the East End. HOW BLAINE WAS SWOBN IN. The New Secretary Plcnsed to Favor Mr. Bayard at Any Time. "Washington, March 6. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Blame came to the De partment of State. A curious crowd filled the hallway before the door of the Secretary's room. Secretary Bayard cordi ally received Mr. Blaine, and they exchanged courteous remarks for a time, while waiting for the arrival of Justice Miller. The interval was a little tedious and Mr. Blaine walked abont the room, looking at the pictures and opening a note accompanying a bouquet of cut flowers. Assistant Secretary Moore and the few division chiefs were introduced, and at 2:30 o'clock the Justice arrived. Mr. Blaine re peated the oath of office in the pres ence of Secretary Bayard, Assistant Secretaries Moore and Adee, "Walker Blaine, Mr. Sherman and Chief Clerk Lee. There was an exchange of com pliments between the Justice and the new Secretary, who, as he took the seat of office, remarked politely to Mr. Bayard that as long as he occupied the chair, he would be pleased to do whatever he could at his re quest. NINE CHILDREN POISONED. The Perpetrntors of the Deed Will Proba bly be Lynched. Louisville, March 6. On Spruce creek, near Mount Sterling, Frank Conk wright, Jim Holdin and Sue Holdin have been arrested for poisoning Conkwright's family of nine children, aged 3 to 19 years. Conkwright is a widower, and had been liv ing with the Holdin woman. His children protested violently, and had been beaten for it. with threats of driving them from home. The woman and her brother Jim went from their home to Conkwright's Saturday to re main over night Conkwright's 9-year-old daughter late at night was taken with severe vomiting, and died before morning. The other children were also taken sick, and one of them was not, at last reports, expected to recover. Dr. Cook, who was called, detected sufficient signs of poisoning to cause the arrest. The prisoners are in jail at Mount Sterling. There is much excitement over the case and talk of lynching. THE HAIMAfiKET MONUMENT. It Will be Unveiled on May 4 With Appro priate Ceremonies. Chicago, March 6. The Haymarket Monument, which is to be dedicated May 4, the coming anniversary of the anarchistic riot, will not bear the names of the police men who were killed by the bomb. It has been the inteution to include in the inscrip tion a list of the officers injured, or, at least, of those who met their death. To-day the committee having the matter in charge decided such a plan inexpedient, on the ground, it is stated, of a lack of room for the amount of lettering required. Instead there will be the following under the figure of the policeman which .forms the chief oart of the monument: "In the name of the people of the State, I command peace." The oration at the unveiling will be delivered by Leonard Swett, once the partner of Abraham Lincoln. CARE WANTS THE PLACE. He is Willing to be Governor of West Virginia. Chaelestok, "W. Va., March G. Mr. B. S. Carr, President of the State Senate," to-day moved on Governor E. "W. "W-ilson with a writ of quo waranto to compel him to show by what right he continues to hold the Gubernatorial chair. The case will not come up in the court until the legal fight between "Wilson and GofF is acted upon. The case of "Wilson and GofF will, in all probability, be brought up in the Supreme Court to-morrow morning. A Pottery Firm in Financial Straits. ISFECIAL TELXOBAM TO THE DISPATCR.'l New Toek, March 6. The suspension of the "WilleU Manufacturing Company, who carried on the big Excelsior pottery at Trenton, whose New York salesroom is at CO Barclay street, was reported to-day. The company's paper, it is said, had gone to protest, but "it was claimed that the em barrassment would be only temporary, as the company had sufficient assets to pay all liabilities and leave a handsome surplus, but the assets were not immediately available. .1 ,,. g. DISPATCH;' ' THE PAMELL FIASCO. A Witness Summoned Before the Commission From America TO TELL WHAT HE DOES HOT KNOW. The Times' Case Will ProtaWy be Finished' In a Fortnight. MINISTER STALLO WILL LITE AT ROME. The -French Tatriotlc league Will be Charged With Conspiracy. The evidence presented before the Par nell Commission by the Times yesterday was almost absurd. One witness was given a free passage from America to give some trivial testimony. Minister Stallo has re signed, but will continue to reside at Borne. Lord Sackville's successor will leave for "Washington shortly. The troubles in Prance continue. tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCII.2 London, March 6. Many hours were oc cupied to-day reading more Irish World editorials and examining unimportant wit nesses. Among the latter was Andrew Col man, formerly a Mayo gamekeeper, who volunteered from America to give evidence. Colman joined the Fenians in 1866, and has been a police spy for many years. His evidence was similar to and as unim portant as that given by several informers who has been produced by the Times, but there was one novel point in it. Eight years ago he actually saw Mr. Par nell on a platform at a public meeting in conversation with a Fenian named Mc Aulay. A man with knowledge so precious could not be allowed to bury himself J.a the wilds of America, and. bo Colman has had a pleas ant trip in Europe with comfortable quar ters in London and plenty of nice things to eat and drink. There is reason to believe the Times will finish its case within a fort night In the event of the Parnell Commission presenting no interim report on th forced letters, the opposition contemplate a motion to adjourn in order to call attention to the action of the Government in aiding the prosecntion to collect evidence, or an address to the Crown regarding the expenses of the commission. GERMANS AT WAR. They Win a Bnttlo Over the Wild Arabs In Zanzibar. Zanzibar, March 6. There was severe fighting at Bogomoyo Snnday. The Aiabs, having occupied the shore at every point where a landing could be effected, attacked the Germans with great fury, and in spite of the combined fire of the men-of-war and marines held their own until their chief, Bushiri, was wounded, when they retired, carrying off their wounded and leaving many dead on the field. The Germans behaved with great courage. Two cannons which had been captured by the natives in a former fight, were re captured. The Germans are now strongly entrenched and will hold the place to pre pare the way for Captain "VVissman's ex pedition. R0CHEREAU SUICIDED, "Bat His Company Says It Will Meet Every Claim. Paeis, March 6. The evening papers concur in the opinion that M. Bochcrean committed suicide. The Temps gives par ticulars according to which there was no al ternative but suicide. In order to remove shareholders' fears six directors of the Comp toir d' Escompte have announced their readiness to pay on demand all moneys de posited with the company. The chiefs of the principal banking firms met to-day and resolved to place themselves at the disposal of the Comptoir d' Escompte in order to insure, in case of necessity, the repaymentvof all deposits. STALLO WILL STAT. A. G. Porter, However, Will Represent tbn United States. Rome, March 6. The Riforma says it learns that ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana, will succeed Judge Stallo as American Minister at Borne. Tne Government, the Riforma says, will lose in Judge Stallo a sincere friend to Italy, while the diplo matic body and all who know him will greatly regret his retirement. According to the same paper, Judge Stallo has decided to settle in Borne. Mr. "W. L. Alden, the American Consul General here, will also resign. He intends to re sume journalistic work. THE SAM0AN TROUBLE. Preparations for tbe Proposed International Conference at Berlin. London, March 7. The Standard's Ber lin correspondent says that it is stated that Mr. BTasson will represent America iu the Samoan conference. Another Berlin dis patch says that Herr Steubel goes as a special commissioner to restore order in Samoa, and that he will have control of the German squadron in Samoan waters. He is reputed to be an able diplomat The American accounts of the terms of the armistice arranged by Herr Knappe and Mataafa are not believed in Berlin. TREASON IS CHARGED. Tbe Patriotic Lenene of France to be Thoroughly Uprooted. Paeis, March 6. The Temps states that the magistrates who are conducting the in quiry into theaffairs of the Patriotic League have found documents proving that the leagne was engaged in a scheme to mobilize its members. The Government, the Temps says, intends to criminally prosecute the chiefs of the league for conspiracy against the State. Arbitration Will be Tried. Copenhagen, March 6. In the lower House" oi the Biesdag to-day the Minister for Foreign Aflairs stated that the British Minister at Athens had consented to act as arbitrator in the dispute between the United States and Denmark regarding the claim of Mr. Butterfield against Denmark for the Joss of a number of vessels near St Thomas many years ago. Lord. Sackville's Successor. London, March 6. Sir Julian Paunce fote, the new British Minister to the United States, will start for "Washington about the end of this month. After a short stay he will return to London for the summer. In the autumn he will take his family to Washington for permanent residence. Anuria Is Badly Scared. London, March 7. The Vienna corre spondent of the Times says: "The Austrian Cabinet has been thrown into a state of con sternation by Milan's abdication, fearing that it will result in Bussian ascendency." Milan goes to'' the Biviera. His private dtbts amount to 2,000,000 florins. The Queen Is Replied to. 'London, March 6. In the House of Commons this afternoon the Bt. Hon. "W. H. Smith, the Government leader, moved cloture on the debate on the address in re- THUESDAY, :" LMBGHs ply to the Qneen's speech. The motion was carried by a vote of 247 to 66. AMERICA AND JAPAN. The Thunderer Thinks They Aro Getting Rather Too Thick. London. March 7. The Times comment ing on a correspondent's inference that the treaty of commerce between America and JapanHrovides for the admission of Ameri cans to entire commercial citizenship in Japan in return for America's-resigning for Americans in Japan immunity from Japan ese municipal laws, expresses doubt whether the favored nation clauses of tne older, treaties do not prevent Japan from enlarg ing American rights without granting an identical boon to the other treaty 'nations at the same time. . ' The Times complains of the conservatism of English diplomacy in the matter of an obsolete and worthless privilege, to the detriment of commercial interests, England being accused of thwarting Japan's at tempt to establish commercial relations with the nations. ENGLISH POSTAL TELEGRAMS. HotrOIcssascs are Forwarded by Wire and Moil In Great Britain. "There is a system of sending telegrams in use in England, "said a Pittsburg gen tleman recently, "which might be of some practical advantage if adopted in this coun try. For example, a resident of any portion of the city, desiring to send a message by telegraph, writes it on a specially prepared blank and drops it into the nearest letter box. The letters are collected very frequent ly and all telegrams found in the box are taken to the nearest telegraph office and at once forwarded to their destination. Thus the telegraphic business is managed with a very small number of sub-offices, and there is little more delay than there would be if messengers were employed. "Another and still better feature of the British telegraphic system is this: Suppose you are in a city and wish to send a-telegram to some friend living in the country, it may be several miles irom a telegraph office. You write your message on a blank and it is sent by telegraph to the" station nearest your friend's residence. There it is put in the mail for immediate delivery, and the person to whom it is addressed receives it without incurring any extra expense, whereas, if the delivery were made by a telegraph messenger, the'eost would be con siderable. A message can be sent in this way several hours, and often.a day, sooner than a letter could go by mail, while the expense is only that of an ordinary tele gram.

There was a fight on the sidewalk in front of Mike Kelly's saloon on the Northeast corner of Thirty first street and Sixth avenue, at 6 o'clock this morning, and the few sporting men who were attracted by the row recog nized the fighters as Jack Barnitt and Jack Hayes, the friend and trainer of John L. Sullivan. Only a blow or two was struck, and then the men disappeared into the saloon. Those who followed them saw Sulli van lolling in a seat in the back room, and his brother, Mike Sullivan, standing near him. Conflicting stories of the cause of the rupture between the men were circulated. Neither one of the principals in the row nor Sullivan could be found to-night They had patched up the trouble, it was stated, and were all said to be at a, Brooklyn theater. It is said that the quarrel between the men grew out of an effort of Hayes to get Sullivan to go to bed. John Kelly insists that Sullivan was per fectly sober. A PROFITABLE BALL. The Inanffural Committee Report a Snrplas of Abont 870,000. Washington, March 6. Thelnaugural Committee has achieved an unprecedented success. Not only has enough money been made from the sale of privileges and of tickets to the ball to defray all expenses and to return the 550,000 guaranteed by public spirited citizens, but there will be a surplus left of about 520,000. There were 12,000 tickets to the ball sold, netting 560,000, and it is expected that the receipts from the sale of tickets to fhe promenade concert held in the ballroom yesterday and from the sale of souvenir ball tickets will bring this amount up to 570,000.

Now in Philadelphia the necessary improvements, at which the present bill aims, have been going on under an arrange ment between Tthe Bailroad's Committee of Councils and the railroad corporations, and lam unable to find that the cost to the city has in any case been more than one third of the necessary expense. "Why not let the thine go along in this way. "It seems to have worked very well thus far in Philadelphia. And, besides if, as the present amended bill provides, there must be an arrangement between the muni cipal and railroad corporations to have grades changed and the payment provided for, why have a bill at all. We can make the necessary arrangements now without it, when we want to do so. I think, though, that the Governor has just as good ground for vetoing this bill as he had for vetoing the Other one." ONE STATESMAN SETTLED. Cooper Is Fixed for Collector of the Port at Philadelphia. rFEOU A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.: Haeeisbubo, March, 6. Governor Beaver arrived home late this afternoon happy, but tired. Adjutant General.Hast ings also arrived home, using a cane to aid his limping footsteps. A gentleman who came from Louisiana as a substitute on the Chief Marshal's staff for General Longstreet happened to ride a vicions horse, and the horse got near enough one time to General Hastings to( plant a severe kick on the Gen eral's ankle. Though suffering great pain, he kept his seat in the saddle until the pro cession was over. Auditor General McCamant and Attorney General Eirkpatrick got back to-day con vinced that it would have been a splendid time it it hadn't been for the crowds and the dampness. Cashier Livesy, of tbe State Treasury, doesn't look like a man who was thrown by his horse during the grand parade. Senators and members of the Legislature returned to-day in about equal numbers from their homes and from Wash ington and compared notes, with the gen eral result that those who went home are glad they did and those who went to Wash ington are sorry they didn't go home-. The happiest man among the Senators, perhaps, is Thomas W. Cooper, the blonde statesman from Delaware county, who comes back assured that he can be Collector of the Port of Philadelphia if he wants the position. Mr. Cooper is certain that he does want it, and he isn't caring just now" whether the Senatorial apportionment bill knocks out his Senatorial district or whether it doesn't ' TOO SWEET FOR ANYTHING. Von Bonnborst Thinks the N. G. P. Knocked Out the Regulars. FROM A STAFF CORRISFOXDENT.t Habbisbubg, March 6. Bepnblican County Chairman Yon Bonnhorst stopped over in Earrisbnrg to-day to rest on his way home from Washington. "I was on one of the stands)" he said, "when the Pennsylvania troops came into view. A Tennesseean was just behind me and a man from further South was with him. Who are these, 'Begulars?' they In quired. ' 'No,' I said, 'these are Pennsylvania troops.' "Then as the First brigade passed and the next one appeared one of them said: 'These must be leguiars.' 'No,' I told him, 'this is the Third brigade of Pennsylvania troops.' They would hardly believe it. "When the last brigade, the Second, ap peared they were lost in wonder, and when it had gone by they swore softly that the Pennsylvania troops were an army in themselves. 'Yes,' I said, 'and they could go down and clean you fellows out, too. quick, at a moment's notice.' " "I heard many people say, "remarked Senator Mehard, "that the Peunsylvanian's marched better than the regular troops. PEACEFULLY SLEEPING. The Second Class City Bill Is Laid to Rest. nniOX X STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Habbisbubg, March 6. Among the bills not called up to-night was the one en titled "An act relating to cities." This is the bill that created so much excitement when the Allegheny members attempted to have it made a special order previous to the February . elections. It delegates large powers to all cities, and also gives cities go ing from the third class to the second pow ers different from those possessed by Pitts burg. This is the second time the bill has appeared before the Honse on second read ing without being called up. According to the rules, it will oe heard oi no more. Tbe same is true of the companion bill, entitled "An act dividing the cities of tne State into three classes." These bills are rendered unnecessary to Allegheny by the decision of the Supreme Court of the State. The bill providing fer the purchase of lots adjoining the Western Penitentiary was not called up, but it will not be dropped. HASTINGS IS INDIGNANT. The Pennsylvania Troops Behaved as Pretty as Pictures. frr.OlI A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Habbisbubg, March C Adjutant Gen eral Hastings absolutely denies the truth of. an Associated Press dispatch in this morn ing's papers stating that certain Pennsyl vania troops blocked Tenth street in Wash ington with riotous demonstrations, and were only dispersed by a bayonet charge. The General says he didn't see an intoxi cated Pennsylvania guardsman all the time he was in Washington. The troops behaved splendidly, and the General was told by many competent mili tary critics that, while the National Guard ot Pennsylvania didn't wear as showy a uniform as some of the other troops, it out shone them all in military appearance. "Give the boys a dress uniform," said Gen eral Hastings, "and they will beat anything on a parade." AT THE SAME TISLE. Prohibition and Poll Tax Will be Settled on Jane IS. rFEOU A, STAFF CORRESPONDENT.! Habbisbubg, March G. The Senate to night, on motion of Senator Cooper, amended Captain Dravo's bill providing for the manner of conducting the p rohibi tion amendment election by making it also apply to the poll tax constitutional amend ment The intent is to submit both amend ments to the Constitution to the people at the same time. Senator Cooper seems to have lost much of his anxiety to keep the prohibition ques tion separate and distinct from every other question, but the action of the Senate to night is in harmony with the recommenda tion made by the Governor in his annual message. , INDUSTRIOUS SENATORS.
