Without Conflicting: Dates Both Teams Would be Prosperous. SECRETARY SCANDRETT TALKS. Hb Says That Keither Pittsburg Club "Will Draw Crowds to the Games. THE SPOETIKG SEWS OP THE DAI A portion of the local contingent of the Players National league are greatly dis satisfied at the outcome of the meeting called to discuss a change of the schedule, looking to the prevention of conflicting dates. It is claimed that should there be but one game a day there would be money for both teams, that the cranks would at tend whichever team was in the city, and that there are a great many persons who can only go at certain times in the season and these times are liable to come when both clubs are away. There are hundreds of men who only get to attend a tew games a year on this account and it is agreed that they would go twice as often if a team was at home nearly all the time. To this argu ment many add the statement that during lone" trips abroad many regular patrons be come weaned away and do not attend the games npon the return of the team. It is claimed that if there were no conflicting dates, the enthusiasts could go nearly all the time and thus keep up a lively interest in the sport. WASTED PEACE, NOT WAB. Director TV. IV. Kerr is one of the gentlemen who favors and has always talked for a non conflicting schedule. To The Dispatch Mr. Kerr said: I am now. and always will be. in f avor of a non-conflicting schedule. It is business. We do not want to kill the National League, and one or the other must fail if this cutthroat policy is kent up. With non-conflicting sched ules both organizations could live and make money. For my part I cannot see why this policy of war is to be continued. "I was not informed that there was to be a meeting until the dav on which itwas held, and then supposed that Hanlon or Tener knew of it and would attend. Tener always represents the capital of the team and Hanlon the play ers, so I supposed wo would be well repre sented."; The fact that Pittsburg had no representa tive at the meeting looks very bad. Tno Players' League people knew this citv wanted the dates changed, and why the officials were not notified of the meeting in time to attend does not appear. Mr. Kerr would doubtless have been glad to have gone to Sow York to srate his side of the case, and being a very con servative gentleman, would also liked to have beard tho ether side of the case. It looks as though the meeting was a cu: and dried in dorsement of the present schedule. When Secretory Scandrett, of the National League, was asked his opinion of tho meeting and its results, he replied: ME. scakdbett's views. "It could not have suited me better, and I think it means that the fight will not last much longer. Our team has done bad enough while nway', but they have played better ball than the local Brotherhood clnb. It was prophesied that our men wonld not be able to hold their own In fast company, but Hanlon said he bad a team of stars and was prepared to break even with all the crack teams in the new League. 7 he peonlo are disappointed in both teams. Our men won two more games on the trip than was expected. The other team did not take as many as they thought they would. The result is that neither team will draw flies when they return, and it won't take long to settle this busi ness here. We've prepared ourselves for a much longer siege than we will have, and every thing looks an right at present." Another gentleman connected with the Pitts burg National League team said: -Pay day will be here as soon as the clubs get to the city and then someone will have to go down in ttfeir pockets which will cause a squeal. It is a question of who will continue turowing airay money the longest and I don't believe the Players' League backers will last forever." .Mr. Kerr takes a very sensible view of the conflicting dato question. The Dispatch was one of the first papers to advocate a change. Now that the Players' League people have de cided not to make the change nothingmore can be said than that it's a pity to thus endanger the ponulanty of the sport, as with conflictinc dates it will certainly be killed. Even if one League succumbs at this stage of the fight it will take years to put the game on the footing it bad before the movement began. EATS HE'S QUIT. A Washington OInn Learns That Sir.

In his com munication to League headquarters Mr. Minick states that his retirement from bast ball matters Is riucto the pressure or nrlvate business, but he has d tsposed of his Interest In the League to a jrentlc min who will he equally as zealous and enterpris ing In behalf of the League's success.

The Primfr Minister of Quebec is Ac cused of Complicity CHABGES HADE BY A CONTRACTOB. Money Was Necessary to Get Big Bills Through Parliament LACONIC BDI TELL-TALE DISPATCHES Quebec, June 1. All the boodle ex poses of this most prolific of Canadian scandal seasons have been cast completely into the shade by developments in connec tion with Contractor Whelan's bribery of two successive Governments of the Province. The Mnrphy-McGreevy dock swindle of 5250,000, the Eykert land deal of 5200,000, which cost its author his seat in the Cana dian Parliament, and General Middleton's looting of lurs in the Canadian Northwest, all pale into insignificance before a scandal that proclaims the shame of the principal pnblic men oi the Province of Quebec. Shorn of its unnecessary and Unimpor tant details, this new story of national humiliation is as follows: Some eight "years J. P. "Whelan, of Montreal, then editor and proprietor of the Daily Post and True Wit nets, sieued a contract with the then con servative government of the Province of Quebec to build a new Court Hone in the city of Quebec at a cost of 5170.000. Up to the present time, however, 5700.000 have "been paid ont to tbe contractors, and Whelan has filed claims ior 5300,000 more. QTJABBEI, BETWEEN PAETNEKS. The present scandal, like that of the Mc Greevv dock scandal, might have been suc cessfully kept from the pnblio but for a quarrel between partners over the division oi the boodle. Whelan's partner in the Court House contract was Qaniel Ford, a practical architect and bnilder, who sup plied most of tbe mechanical experience, while Whelan supplied tbe nionev. Ford did not furnish all the experience, however, for that necessary to successful political financiering was supplied by Whelau. Not withstanding the large amonnt of boodle paid out to the politicians, both partners have already made handsome fortunes ont of their share of the profits derived from the Court House contract. Whelan's iasi claim for extras, in consid eration, it is said, of the payment of large sums to leading politicians, he succeeded in having referred to arbitration. Whelan was clever enougb to take for bis lawyer Mr. Beansoliel, M. P., Premier Mercier's law partner; but, complaining that he bled him too much for political subscriptions, Whelan some time ago dropped him and re tained in his place Mr. Prefontaine, M. P., another influential politician, and a law partner of the Premier's son-in-law, Mr. Gonin. Thereupon-Beausoliel took up the case of Ford, Whelan's old partner, and proceeded to pnt the Government contractor throngh a severe conrse of cross-examination in regard to his disposal ot certain moneys that had passed through his hands. He strnck a snag, however, when he insist ed upon knowing what Whelan had done with a certain 510,000. JUST LIKE TWEED. "I paid it to the boodlers," said Whelan, "to prevent the rejection by the House of mv claim of 5155,000." Iteport has it that when his 5300,000 claim was referred to arbitration an an derstanding was arrived at by which Preiontaine, the lawyer of Whelan and partner of Premier Mercier's son-in-law, was to receive 10 per cent or all the extra recovered by Whelan before the arbitration, the appointment of which arbitration was made by tbe Premier, and that an arrange ment was actually made or offered the arbi trator oi 2 per cent upon all sums accorded by him to Whelan. The arbitration "gave Whelan 5155,000, and it is over the division of this amonnt between Whelan and his late partner, Daniel Ford, that the details of the boodling have come ont. No record of payments made by Whelan in late years can be lound. for books are missing, and he claims that payments of snms aggregating f 5100,000, of which he was bled by politi cians, cannot, for obvious reasons, be es tablished by him. The unsavory part of the scandal is that, though a change of government took place three years ago, Whelan seems to have suc ceeded equally well in bribing both parties, while in power, to recognize his extortionate demands. He claims that while the Legis lature was ip session last February he paid 510,000 to Ernest Pacaud lor the purpose of having his item of 5155,000 pass the House. This item was included, according to the de cision of the arbitrator, in the Government's estimates of expenditure, and Whelan claims that Pacaud notified him that the item would be withdrawn from tbe esti mates unless he handed over 510,000. CLOSE TO THE PREMIER. Pacaud is the confidential friend and ad viser of Premier Mercier. He edits L'EUo tear, the Premier's personal organ, is his election organizer and Secretary-Treasurer of his party's Chief Executive Electoral Committee. Pacaud admits reception of the 510,000 from Whelan, but states that its object was to buy off the opposition in the House, not on the part ot his own and Mer cier's political friends, but on the part of their conservative opponents. He says he did not keep, the money, but gave it to a friend of th'e opposition, and in corrobora tion of his assertion points to the tact that from the date the money was handed him by Whelan in Montreal the opposition to the item in tbe House ceased. Every member of the opposition in the House has, however, signed a declaration to the effect that he never received the $10,000 or any part thereof. Whelan, too, denies that he had anything to dread from the op position, but declares th it Pacand simply told him he mnst pay 510,000 or the item would not pass, from which it was naturally understood that tbe money was exacted for friends or members ol the Government. A MATTER OF HONOR, Pacaud declines to give the name of the party to whom he paid tbe 510,000 on the pretense that it is a matter of honor, and that he will go to jail rather than divulge the secret Meanwhile there is nothing but his own word to show that he disposed of it at all. Whelan produced telegrams that look as if Mr. Mercier was a party to the whole transaction. ImmediatelyafterMr. Pacaud received the 510,000 from him in Montreal, he (Pacaud) telegraphed Mercier in Quebec as follows: "O. K." "And Mr. Mercier telegraphed back "O. K." to Mr. Pacaud. Mr. Lemieux, Mr. Whelan's secretary, corroborates his employer's storv of the cir cumstances under which the 510,000 were paid. BISHOP PHELAH" OFF FOE E0ME.
