A I 4 i i 1 HOT YET SETTLED, leagne Magnates Have a Yery Hard Task in Hand. LOOKS BLUE FOE DETEOIT. Phenomenal Sale of California Trot ters at flew York. THE SFbRTKG SEWS OF THE DAT The meeting of the National League mag nates continues, and the ten-club or eight club problem is still unsolved. Prospects for Detroit getting into the League are poor. Pitcher Foreman is offered a big sum to de sert the League. There was a phenomenal horse sale at Xew York. XSriECI-U. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Cleveland, March 5. One whole day has been spent by the National League dele gates in debate. It was an informal con ference at that. Sot until this evening was the Leajue called to order. The problem to be solved was, how can the circuit be re duced to eight clubs. John T. Brush was the Ling pin. He held the key to the situa tion, and he held it close to his breast. While he and Walter Hewitt were in close communion in a corner of the Weddcll lobby the rcpreentatives of the eight other clubs . were meeting in caucus. It was not a secret one. bet was held with the knowledge and con sent of the two clubs without which the League would be so hanpy. 3IE. BRUSH TTAS COOL, And something like a smile of triumph played about his thin lips. Young Hewitt, with a pretense that all he needed was a good short stop, seemed in a good humor. All sorts of stories were afloat. It came pretty straight that Washington wanted $20,000 to withdraw. The picture was drawn that Washington was like a railroad with nothing Out a right of way and two streaks of rust. Even Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Brush admitted that in a financial sense an eight club League would be the better thing, but they wanted financial salve before they would allow themselves to be offered as burnt sacrifices on the League altar. The De troit contingent remained on the ground vig orously urging the advisability of taking that that city into the League in Washington's place. There js no question about the latter's willingness to retire, for the love of the sport that was implanted in the breast of the elder Hewitt does not seem to have descended to the son. Ex President F. K. Stearns has been earnestly pleading with the League delegates to turn their eyes towari Michigan, awav from a city which has a poor excuse for a team to one that has a champion aggregation. WHAT ME. MILLS SAYS. President 31. B. Mills, of the wrecked Inter national Association, oeclared: "It I was a League man I thiuk I woula look at this mat ter as if Washington bad no team and no ground. Detroit has elegant grounds and a strong team. Washington is anxious to get out without iuitber loss. Detroit is jut as anxious to come in, feeling that the champions of the International are clever enough to come in not worse than fifth in this year's race. The League ought to be glad to have the assistance of such a club and such a city. I do not think it has been treated exactly right. We might at least be granted a hearing. If we fail to get into the League I intend to go at once to Buffalo and try to place an Interna'ional Association club there. One thing j ou may be sure of, Detroit will have a ball club this year. If we fail to re vive the International I will certainly offer the Brotherhood people our grounds and stands rent free if they will give us baseball. Detroit is not after money; if w e can scratch along and make both ends meet we are satisfied, tor w e do love the game. I have had little or no en couragement while here. A man would think that the League would throw its arms open to embrace 6uch a chance. All we want is a fran chise. There la not a plaer Walter Hewitt has that wc would care about. Give us a place in the League, that is all we ask. We will pay for that. Detroit's admission would place Pittsburg in the Eastern circuit. A LITTLE TOO BUSY. The League people were too busy with this eight club preblcm to listen to the pleadings of the Miclnganders. who were discouraged and not a bit backward about acknowledging that to be the case. President Mills asserted that Indianapolis w anted $75,000 for its franchise and that the League would not give it. His threat to go into the Brotherhood was received with a show of humor, although Albert L. Johnson, who has stuck to the Leaguers as close as a burr to a fanner's pants received the news w ith gladness. Detroit's game is for the Plavcrs' League to put Buffalo in the bag. Tbey would enjoy revenge on their former In ternational conferees if such a slaughter oc curred. Manager Leadlv, of the Detroit club, unwit tingly betrayed the secret of Brush's anxiety when asked if there was any probability of a. transfer of the ashington franchise to the City of the Straits, by saying: -I am afraid not. It looks to me as if there would be only eight clubs in the League this j ear. Washington wants to sell and we are anxious to buy, but I've made a good many inquiries during the last 12 hours, and I am constrained to believe that we have not much hope of getting in. The general desire is for an eight club League, and in spite of all that has been said to the contrary. I am about convinced that Indianapolis ana Wash ington will go out." AL SCAXDKETT TALKS. Secretary Scandrett, of the Pittsburg club. Seemed to think that the Schedule Committee anticipated the sale of Washington's franchise to Detroit, when it drew up the recommenda tion providing for an equal division of the mileage expenses of the several clubs. "You see," he 6aid, "if Detroit were to take Wash ington's place Pittsburg would be throw rftnto the Eastern group, and the consequence would be -a greatly increased mileage expense. Under tne present division of the clubs, Pittsburg has much the best of it, for when the Western clubs go East we have a shorter distance than any of them to travel. But if we were put in the Eastern division, we would have to do some very lively hustling to jump aronndwith Bos ton. Brooklyn and New York, and our mileage would be much larger than that of any other club. This equal division of the mileage ex penses will, ot course, do away with the objec tions that we would otherwise bo compelled to raise against being transferred to the Eastern group. However. I think this scheme to divide the mileage expenses equally is a very good one. no matter whether Detroit takes Wash ington's place or not, and I'm surprised that something like it was not thought of long ago." At 9 o'clock, half an hour after the evening session had commenced, the little President of the League came down the stairway and ap proached the waiting newspaper delegation. The League." said he. "has relerred the schedule back to the committer and auiourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. It will be rearranged on the basis of ten clubs and one thing the committee will do is to avoid race week here." Then Sir. Young retraced his steps to where the "adjournment" had taken place. Not a League delegate withdrew, and an all night debate is doubtless on. FOREMAN IsELDED BADLY. President Wagner Offi-r. Iltin $3,000 Ad vnnce Money ond $4,500 Snlnry. JtrECIAI. TELBOKAM TO TUE DISPATCII.l Baltimore, March 5. The Players' League Club of Philadelphia is evidently very anxious to hare pitcher Frank Foreman, who deserted them and signed a personal contract with Pres ident Stern, of the Cincinnati League Club, a few weeks ago. As already stated. President Wagner, of the Philadelphia Players' Leaguo Club, visited Foreman at his home near Balti more on last "Sunday, and offered him SiOOO cash as advance money to jump, which offer was declined. This morn me Foreman says he received a let ter, marked private and personal, ana signed by President Wagner, offering him $3,000 ad Tance money, a jump of J1.000 over that of Sunday, and 500 increase in salary, which would jump the Azures to $1,500. It was de clined by letter. Foreman fcajsne will not get Into any more hot water. President Wagner, he sajs, argued that he would bo the star pitcher, and Forman says ho knows this, be cause he had but two. Wnm n Big Pool Match. Two gentlemen are in the city trying to make arrangements for a pool contest between Clear water and Ellis. If a suitable place, under sat isfactory terms can be secured it is likely that these two experts will play in this city shortly.

Hiebert is a veteran of the track, and has al ways been noted for his staving qualities. Nikirk has also been long before the public, and has remarkable speed. The race Is certain to be an interesting one. McClelland will train Nikirk, and Davy Sheehan will likely look after bieberr. Mitchell Used tlio Poker. London. March 5. While Chesterfield Goode and Charley Mitchell, the pugilist, were drinking at the house of George Goode, the sporting man, they became involved in a quarrel and finally reported to blows. They clinched, and iu the scufilo that followed both of them fell fell down a flight of stairs. Goode, who was standing by. egged Mitchell on, and the fight was resumed at tho bottom of tho stairs.

A picked team, com posed of the best shots of tho various clubs of Kansas City, accompanied by a delegation of citizens of that place, arrived to-day. To morrow they begin a contest with a team picked out by Chicago for prizes Intrap shooting. Tho match will continue for two days. To-morrow evening tho club will bo entertained at the Auditorium, and Friday night they will be treated to a banquet at the fchennan House.

Twitchell, Karl Guinott, Andy Thomas, Lou Vorhces, Elward Choteau: J. II. McGee is the Captain, but will not shoot in the match. Blay Hn-.cn New Track. Secretary Scandrett is eager to have a cinder path laid around Recreation Park for foot rac ing ana bicycling purposes. Ho will lay tho mat ter before tho directors of the club, and his sug gestion ma be carried out Tho idea is a good one, as there is not a track in the city now. The expense of completing a first-class track would not be great, and It would be well patronized. It would not at all interfere with the diamond. Mitchell to Slavln. New Yore, March 5. The following cable was received from George W. Atkinson at the Police Gazette office to-day: Lovdov, March 5, 1690. Cnarley Mitchell has posted a forfeit with the Svorting Life, and Issued a challenge to fight Slavln. the Australian champion, with gloves, tor XI, 000. Mitchell's challenge to meet Slavln has created quite a sensation. An Offer to Guerrero. Manager Davis received a letter from Gns Guerrero, the pedestrian, jesterday, in which the latter states that he has been offered the position or Superintendent of the Boston Players" League grounds. Guerrero does not knnwwhethcror not be will acceDt the position. As he is anxious to take part In the Pittsburg ge-aso ou please contest. The PhrGieli! Winner. J. Collins, tho Wisconsin sprinter who won the late Sheffield handicap, passed through the city 3 esterdav. en route from England to his home. He wis In good condition, and stated that his trip had been a very profitable one. He may start in the Christmas handicap. Sporting Notes. Al JonNSON says that tl e real baseball mag nates will meet in Cleveland next week. It is likelv that the Chicago and Cleveland Plivers' League clubs will take a short trip South. Jonx L Sullivan's protege. Jack Dough erty, defeated Tommy Lynch 111 seven rounds last evening. If all stones are true, some new League officials are tempting Pitcher Foreman's hon esty considerably. John Splan has arrived in New York from England. He states that the Britishers are anxious to buy American trotting horses. The annual meeting of the Keystone Bicycle Club was held at the Hotel Anderson last even ing. Satisfactory reports were read and the old officers re-elected. Dick Howell, of Coventry, England, has Issued a challenge to compete against any man in the world on ordinary bicycles, from one to ten miles, for 100 a side. An arrangement Whereby the Pittsburg new club would share the SO cents of other clubs and the Utter only share 25 cents here, might caue quite a disturbance. Sir Timothy Keefe, of the New York Brotherhood Club, Is now coaching the batter ies of the Princeton College team. Rcilly. of the Columbus club, is superintending the work of the other members of the nine. Pitcher Chamberlain has little faith in the stability of the American Association. Ho thinks the Brotherhood is on the top of the heap all around and w ill stay there. He hopes to be transferred from St. Louis to Brooklyn In preference to Cincinnati. "Hick" Carpfnter. of the Cincinnati club, one of the players for whom President Dy was said to be negotiating, sajs: '"If I am not to plav with Cincinnati, I wish President Stern would give me my release immediately. I would like t play in New York." Manager BarN'IE, of the Baltimore Base ball Club, says that if the management of the National League purchase the Washington club's franchise he will organize an Atlantic Association Club at the capital, and back it with money subscribed by local business men. A RATTLING cocking main occurred at Yonngstown yesterdaj afternoon between birds owned by local sporting men for 50 a side. Two battles were fought. In the first one of the birds was killed in six minutes. In the sec ond each weighed six pounds, and were pitted 27 tunes, one of tho birds finally running away. Both flys were won by the same owner, and over S500 changed hands. Jack McAuliffe is training with a will for his fight with Jim my Carroll before the Califor nia Athletic Club this month. In writing to his brother Con, he sajs that he is alreadv down to weight, and in excellent condition. In punch ing the bag he injured his right hand, but he thinks that by the time he is called upon to fight the arm will be all right, at least he hopes so. LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED. Incidents of a.

GOVERNOR JACKSON AKD,A JUDGE Have Quite an Animated Controversy Upon the Subject. PLANS OP THE FEIENDS OP THE DITCH. The Present Agitation Will tltte an Effect In Faror of the Waterway. The parties who are trying to secure the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal for a railroad have introduced another bill iu the Mary land Legislature. This is intended to get around the action of Judge Alvey. The friends of the waterway, however, are still hopeful of success. FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Annapolis, Md., March 5. The con-, sternatiou thrown into the ranks of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal gobblers Jby Judge Alvey's appointment of receivers, was only momentary, it seems. Before the action of the courts is a day old, they have secured the introduction of an amendment in the Senate to the charter of the Washing ton and Cumberland Kailroad permitting them to buy or lease the canal from the re ceivers as well as from the State, and meet ing in other particulars the condition of things brought about by Judge Alvey's decision of Tuesday. They find, however, that they will have to move very cautiously in the management of their lease bill in the Senate. That is why it did not come up on second reading there on Tuesday, as was expected. The Lower House, which passed the lease bill, is more absolutely under the control of the canal ring from Baltimore, while the Senate is conservative, smaller and more independent. On the whole matters look a little healthier now for the friends of the canal than they did a week ago. THE GOVERNOR'S ATTITUDE. Governor Jackson's very radical friend ship for the railroad enterprise astonishes many of the old and conservative citizens of Maryland. It is that, in connection with the efforts of persons high in public life at "Washington City and Baltimore, which makes the proposed deal one of the most sensational that has been engineered in the United States for many years. The Governor happened tositdown beside Judge Oliver Miller on the train from Balti more one day this week. I occupied the seat behind them and could not avoid hear ing the conversation which passed between the two officials. Judge Miller is one ot the ablest jurists in Maryland, and sits upon the bench of the Court oi Appeals, the Chief Justice of which is Judge Alvey, who the day alter this incident appointed re ceivers to ascertain the amount of damage to the canal. Judce Miller evidently did not know the bold stand ol Governor Jackson ou the canal legislation, and he opened the subject this way: "I am sorry to read of the doings at Annapolis this spring," and then the Judge innocently proceeded to tell what a public misfortune it would be to close up the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. When the Governor answered him in terse, emphatic terms as to the necessity of having a rail road there instead of a canal, Judge Miller could not hide his surprise. SOME LEGAL OBSTACLES. Judge Miller told the Governor very plainly that he doubted the legality of the Legislature's bill to lease the canal. He held that the State of Maryland was simply mortgagee of the canal and simply one of its stockholders, like the United States, Virginia, or any other State which sub scribed to the original stock over half a century ago. As mortgagee he admitted that Maryland might, by going into the courts and through the usual routine, fore close the mortgage on the canal, and then sell the property,if it is shown that the condi tions of that mortgage had never been satis fied. But he declared that it was an un heard of thing for 3 mortgagee to lease his mortgage rights for a term of 99 years, and that is practically what this deal amounts to. Especially is this the case when it is remembered that Maryland is not the onlv stockholder of the canal. The Judge also told the Governor that he believed the canal would be useiul lor trans portation for years to come, and that it would be bad public policy to close it up. Governor Jackson denied this, and declared that it was entirely impracticable to think of repairing the canal and resuming its operations is a waterway, because the very next freshet In the upper Potomac river will wreck it again. ME TEANS-ALLEGHENY CANAL. I talked with Judge Miller subsequently. He admits that every freshet in the Poto mac for the last 15 years has damaged the canal more or less. It was not so much the mistake of the original engineers in con structing the canai so close to the river as it has been the later destruction forests, which have resulted in a more rapid descent of water from the mountains alter heavy rains, thereby causing greater floods than we used to have. The Judge, however, be lieves the canal should be maintained. He says it will always have an important held for work in carrying Cumberland coal to tidewater, became ocean steamers prefer the remarkably soft Cumberland coal to all others for fuel. Judge Miller likes the trans-Allegheny canal project, and although he fears a scar city of water to operate the large number of locks that would bo required, he says the mere agitation of such an enterprise is an additional proof of how valuable the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal as a tidewater outlet is regarded by the people to-day. and is thus an argument against the Legislature's proposed filling up of the ditch. ONE OF THE PLANS. Senator Pearee, of Cumberland, and Sen ator Stake, of Washington county, are going to be the principal sneakers tor the maintenance of the canal when the lease bill comes up in tne Senate. One proposes to have the clerk read aloud the articles in The Pittsbueg Dispatch about a con necting canal over the mountain from Cumberland to the Monongahcla river, and the other proposes to prove by them the vast importance ot the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as a tidewater outlet from the entire West. Senator Pearee says: "I am heartily in favor of that trans-Allegheny canal project. Ot course it can be carried into effect, and should be done. It would bring the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal up to its full meas ure of utilitv, and in opening up thousands ol miles of internal Western river communi cation, Irom Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf nf Mexico, and from the bay to the great Likes tor I believe Pittsburg has already began the survey of the canal from the Ohio river to Lake Erie it would make Baltimore what the Erie Canal has made New York City. And it would give Cum berland coal a water outlet to the West. AN IMPORTANT POINT. "I want the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal maintained, because, no matter how seem ingly small a canal's business is, the traffic on water to-day regulates the freight charges nn railroads. That can be easily proven. Build all the railroads you want up the Po tomac, but leave the canal open and we are always safe from their monopoly. Close up that canal and we lay at the mercy of rail road rates with no escape, no hope. "This canal has been mismanaged for years by politicians. It has been as scanda lous as this proposed dicker is outrageous. Had it been run on business principles it would nevefhave been allowed to lose busi ness, and to-day would be well-paying prop- I efty. . .. i In a previous letter I spoke ol tne "Tide. I jrater and Allegheny Transportation Com pany," a new organization, which has sub mitted a proposition to the Legislature to lease the canal for 51,000,000 more than the Washington and Cumberland Kailroad offers, and to maintain the canal as a water way. To-day I interviewed Robert O. Gor don, one of the incorporators of this corpora tion, both as to its purposes and its probable action on a trans-Allegheny connection. He said: PBIVATE CAPITAL TO THE FRONT. "If the Tidewater and Alleghany Trans portation Company should ever succeed in leasing the canal, they would undoubtedly make an effort to secure its connection with the Ohio river by way of Morgantown, W. Va., and the Monongahela river. I see nothing whatever impracticable in the engi neering phase of the question, except the great expense, and, as I would advocate the general Government taking charge of the work, on account of the national benefits to be derived, that cost would become a mere bagatelle. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal should have been pushed to the Ohio river long before this. It was pledged that it should be when stock was subscribed for its building more than half a century since. My uncle, Josiah H. Gordon, was President of the canal in 18G9 and 1870, and his great idea was to extend it to the Western rivers. He actually rec ommended it to the directors even at that late date, and suggested a route over the mount ain by way ot Flaherty's creyk, the Cistie man river and Youghiogheny river to the Monongahela at McKeesport. Of course, the Monongahela was not then slackwatered clear up to Morgantown, and I understand Morgantown is only C6 miles across the country from Cumberland." A RUMOR DENIED. Mr. Gordon denied that the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad had anything to do with the Tidewater and Allegheny Transporta tion Company. He declared that damaging report was circulated by the opponents of the canal purely as capital. He said the company is formed largelyf coal operators in the Cumberland field, who rely largely on the canal for getting their coal down to tidewater. J. J. Alexander, of its direc tory, for instance, is President of the George's Creek Coal and Iron Company, and Mr. Hitchins, another corporator, is of the Bartus and George's Creek Coal Company. Possibly, owing to the rumors of corrupt ion in this railroad-canal deal, the people who are voting for the railroad prefer to keep away from newspaper men. Those I have interviewed sum up their views with, "There is no more use for a canal, and a railroad will benefit the country more. Good-day." L. E. Stoitel. TEEASDELK N0LAND SHORT. Governor Francis Takes Charco of the .State Fnnds of Mlssomi. St. Louis, March 5. At Jeflerson City, it is now considered a pretty well settled fact that State Treasurer Noland is short in his accounts something over $30,000. Even Governor Francis is in doubt as to the exact amount owing to what he terms irregulari ties in the books. The bondsmen who have talked about the matter agree that the de ficit is over $30,000, and all who possess any information adhere to this sum or very near it. Treasurer Noland was at the State Cap itol this morning and reiterated his former denials of a shortage. "The whole matter is now in the hands of the committee of investigation appointed by the Governor," he said, "and I must de cline to discuss it further." Governor Francis to-day issued the fol lowing: I have taken charge of tho State Treasury under Section 8.5S3 of the revised statutes of lbb9. All checks against the State funds will be signed by me until further notice. D. R, Francis, Governor. It is now developed that Governor Francis, while in New York, receited a telegram from his private secretary, M. A. Fanning, with reference to the trouble in the Treasurer's office, aud at once hurried home, and to Jefferson City, taking charge of the Treasurer's office at once. Then the bondbmen met and decided that the deficit ir.ut be met and the matter hushed up, but to this proposition the Governor demurred on the ground that such action would be un lawful, and he could not afford to compro mise himself in that way. Hence the in evitable exposure. A CHICAGO FATIUA Wnnts n Divorce From a Modern Edition of Blucbcnrd. Chicago, March 5. A story with all the interest and suspense of the experience of Bluebeard's "last wife was told to-day by Mrs. Margaret J. Whelan in a bill for di vorce from her husband, James Whelan. She says that after an extraordinary course of abuse on his part, she left him, but re turned to him on his promise of better be havior. Accompanying him home, she en tered their house and followed him to a room. Too late, she noticed that the knobs of the door had been removed and their places taken by heavy staples, which were fastened with telegraph wires and padlocks. The terrified woman asked her husband what he meant to do, and he turned on her, and, seizing her by the hair, dragged her to the floor. "Your minutes are numbered," he ex claimed. "Pray now, for you have but five minutes to live." She knelt on the floor, with her hands clasped in prayer, and he opened a hu?;e knile and flourished it above her head. The time was getting short, and Whelan turned to a shelf to change the clock to a more con venient place to watch the minutes as they passed. As he turned bis back Mrs. Whelan sprang to her feet and leaped through the window to the street. She was seriously injured by her tall, but was cared for bv neighbors. Judge Jamison issued an order enjoining Whelan from any way annoying his wife. FATALLY SHOT BY BDEGLAES. A Detroit Policeman Meets Death While In Piimuit of Thieves. Deteoit, March 5.
