Why Ward is Absent From the Meet ing at Cleveland. THE SPORTING KEWS OF THE DAY The Brotherhood meeting at Cleveland opened yesterday. 2fo important work was done, but the leading spirits talked Tery interestingly. Brunell says the Brother hood is bound to win. Cleveland, March 10. At 10 o'clock this morning John Strieker and Frank Brnnell were the only Brotherhood base ball delegates who were visible in the "Weddell House lobby, and there having been no regular session of the meeting called for everything was very quiet Fred Pieffer and John Addison, of Chicago, ami J. Farl "Wagner, of Philadelphia, arrived tins moraine, but all kept close to their rooms, and even Al Johnson, when he made his ap pearance shortly after 10 o'clock, had suddenly become a min of few words. Tbe Hi other hood Schedule committee met in Parlor 11 at tbe Weddell House In the after noon and made a few changes in the table of dates, after -which an adjournment until Tues day was taken. Speaking of the work dono by the committee Secretary Brunell said: "0 IMPORTANT CHANGES. "We made no material changes. After forming the schedule at Pittsburg. I sent letters out to a'l the different clubs, asking if they were satisfied, and if not, what ob jections they had to oiler. Some fault was found with the committee's work, and to-day we took up the complaints in alphabetical order and did what we conld to satisfy every body. We fixed it so that Chicago will have another Saturday or two in Boston and New York, but aside from this no important chances w ere made. The schedule, as a whole, remains practically the same as it was." "What do jou think of Detroit's proposition to join the Brotherhood? ' That was a mere bluff at the League. We could not think for a moment of taking in De troit. Why, that man Stearns has been known for the past five years as the greatest living uart-rer in baseball flesh and blood, and no would be going right back on our principles if we were to think for a minute ot having any thing to do with him. Beside all this. Detroit is no ball towh. They won the International League championship up there last season and lost 12,000 in spite of it. We don't want any such towns in the Brotherhood." John Ward is not likely to attend the present meeting. Brunell. when questioned concerning tbe Brotherhood President s absence, said: "WARD CAN'T BE rKESEST. "Ward is with his club in the South and 1 don't think it will be possible for him to attend. You see, he has a lot of players there who have never belonged to the same club, and it Is necessary for him to get them molded into sort of uniformity, or he'll not stand any show at all in the race. We expect to get our schedule all ready to-dav, so that the regular meeting can adopt it to-morrow without any discussion. Everything will co off smoothly here and the convention will not last more than a davor two at most. Uowisthe Brotherhood? Why, can't you see? Way no. Seven stories with a mansard roof. The people are with us, and we're bound to win." "Buck" Ewing, Dan Bronthers, "Deacon" James White and Secretary Julian B. Hart, of tbe Boston Club, filed into the Weddell House in tbe order named in tbe afternoon. Buck wore a broad smile, and said to Brunell when they met: l "Well. I scared you fellows pretty badly, anyhow." Buck" said everything looked lovely in New York, with the Brotherhood goose banging awav np out of reach. White said he thoncht things were looking quite favorable at Buffalo, but be was not car ried away with enthusiasm. When asked what kind of a team he and Bone would have, he said: "Most people seem to think it won't amount to much, but e are pretty well satisfied with it. "We expect to fool some people next sum mer." TRAVELING TRAP SHOOTERS. Remit of n Match Bein-cen Eastern and Western Tennis nt Kansni City. KANSAS City. March 10.

The second ordinance created a standing committee on Public Library and gave it control of the library, art gallery and lecture hall, with authority to elect a librarian at a salary of 2,500 per year, and an assistant at 1.200 per year. There was some little discussion over the question of giving the Library Committee power to elect tbe librarian, participated in by Messrs. Budolph.

SENATOR STANFORD'S SCHEME For EelieTinjr the Existing Widespread Agricultural Depression. HOW IT COULD BE DONE WITHOUT EISK Loans Limited to One-Half or One-Quarter oflhe As sessed Yalnallon. Senator Stanford has devised a method whereby, he thinks, the agricultural de pression may be relieved. His plan is for the Government to lend money at a very low rate of interest to the impecunious far mer, thus protecting the latter from avaricious money-lenders, and at the same time putting money into general circula tion. Washington, March 10. In the Senate to-day Mr. Stanford offered a preamble and resolution instructing the Committee on Finance to inquire what relief for the ex isting agricultural depression may be fur nished by the United States Government, and particularly whether loans may not be made by the Government upon mortgages on real estate, independent of improve ments, at such rates and to such an amount as will make the security to the Government perfect the Government to receive some small rate of interest (from 1 to 2 per cent) and be able to call in a percentage ot the loans from time to time at its discretion. Senator Stanford, in presenting bis reso lution, which was referred to the Committee on Finance, said: From the earliest civilization there has ex isted in all countries a need of some commodity that will stand as a representative of values which can be made without the commodities themselves being passed from hand to hand. In process of time, gold and silver came into use for this purpose of equalizing exchange, and to-day, when stamped by responsible Govern ments, these metals have a valne as money far beyond any possible valne they mif lit have were they only used in the arts. But it is ob vious that their value as legal tender depends as much on the Government stamp as does the paper which is stamped by the Governmentand made legal tender. WHEN MONET IS VALUABLE. Money becomes valuable as it stimulates in dustry and facilitates tbo exchange of tho prod ucts of man's labor. Property itself is valu able according to the uses to which it is applied. Thus, sunposing a man's wages were SI a day, 100 would employ 100 men one day; but could the product of the labor of those 100 men be im mediately utilized, the $100 might give employ ment to 100 men every work day in the year. The Government bond is valuable to the holder on account of tbe interest it earns. As an energetic factor In the transactions of men. it only amounts to the percentage which it draws, but when tbe bondholder, by deposit ing it with the Government, receives back 90 per cent in Government bills, 90 per cent of its value becomes energized into an active commodity, giving employment to the energies of the country. In like manner, if the farmer were able to borrow from tbe Government without interest a certain amount of its bills, giving his farm as security therefor, to that ex tent bis land would become an active force and he would be enabled, while giving employment to the extent of the money loaned him, to im prove his farm and increase its value to the full amount of the loan. Thus the Government loan would be doing double duty. A CONTINUING FOBCE. Now, tho activities of this money do not ter minate with its expenditures by the farmer; those who have received it in their turn, will make use of it as an energizing factor in the forces of life to an indefinite period. As money employs labor it brings to lifo a continu ing force labor begetting labor as certainly as its fruits are valuable. Another way by which we can appreciate what money actively used may pertorm in the settlement of bal ances is to be fonnd In the valuo of commodi ties produced and exchanged compared with tbe amount of money in circulation. How lar tbe boundless resources of our country sLall be put into activity depends not only upon tbe active industry of our people, but upon the power necessary to induce that industry; and it should be the care of the Gov ernment to see that such industry receives every encouragement. An abundant supply of monev means to in dividuals of capacity a field for the use of their abilities in prosecuting their various callings of life, and will be particularly valuable to associations of individuals by affording them facilities for obtaining capital for the transac tions of every kind of business. An abundance of money means universal activity, bringing in Its train all the blessings that belong to a con stantly employed, industrious, intelligent peo ple. NO SERIOUS OBSTACLE. If these proposed loans conld be made by the Government without risk, I do not think that there would be any serious obstacle in tbe way of the accomplishment of tbe object of the resolution. In my opinion ample protection wonld be afforded the Government it it limited its loan to one-half or one-quarter tbe assessed value of the property given as secuntv. and upon the appraisement of Government officers especially selected for that duty. It seems to me that tbo great thought of humanity should be bow to advantage the great multitude of toilers, increase their power of production and elevate tbeir condition. We know that a great improvement is within the provisions of Providence, and m tbe prosperity of the masses of the people the prosperity of all is assured. Man is the rightful heir to peaco and prosperity, and very much depends upon tbe intelligence of Governments to represent the associated capacities and interests of the whole. To me, one of the most effective means of placing at man's dispo.-.al the force Inherent in the value of property, is tboroughly furnish ing a bountiful snpply of money based upon un questioned and secure values.

New York and Philadelphia Fool In Rend ins Spring a Corner on tbo Shorts. New York, March 10. Tho most exciting incident In Wall street for some time occurred to-day when the big New York and Philadel phia rool in Reading sprung a corner on tho shorts and compelled them to pay 2 per cent for the use of tbe stock for one day, pntticg the price for such stock to 42. There were all kinds of reports in circulation while the stock was being squeezed, but the story most gen erally believed was that J. & S. Wormser, who have been identified witn every movement in the stock since the company was reorganized had been caught short of it. The pool, which had its headquarters in Wormsers' office, is said to have been dissatisfied with the results of its operations last week and to have asked the Wormcrs for the numbers on tbe certifi cates bought for them. The response is said to have been unsatisfactory, and the pool at once transferred its accounts from Wormsers to the office of Moore &. Schley. They then notified the Wormsers to deliver all the pool stock to Moore & Schley. At the samo time Moore & Schley and all the other firms as sociated with tbe pool called in all the stock loaned by them, and as a result, the Wormsers, uho were said to need 30.000 shares of stock to deliver to the pool in addition to being short as much more on their own account, had to climb with tbe bear traders and the cliqne that bad put out short lines. The trading in the stock from the opening was enormous. Over 50,000 chares changed hands in the first hour, and be fore the close over 2b0,000 shares were dealt in. being three-fourths of the entire business of the Exchange. None of the interested parties would make any statement. Tho Wormsers were reticent, Moore & Schley refused to be interviewed, and Alfred Sully, who represents the pool, declined to speak.
