fcUaWCION EIFE AGAINST ll'GEATH
Topeka, Jan. 7. The Alliance Advocate,
the organ of the Kansas Farmers' Alliance,
publishes the following letter from Kepre
sentative K. J. Turner, of Kansas, to Frank
McGrath, President of the Kansas Alliance:
House or Representatives,
Umted STATES,
Washington, D. C, Iec 31.
Deak JIcGkath I wrote you yesterday in
regard to &ome railroad legislation, Ingalls
will try to force Ins election or drive the Alli
ance men into caucus to agree upon their man
in order to force the election of an Alliance
mar, -o that he can carrj the party down with
him. He carried it down nttlie election and can
carrv it down with less affliction to his pride In
tbe Legislature, if tlie election of a Republican
is defeated. I nave just received a letter from
Fax-well, at Osborne, and he says their Repre
sentative does not like tlie Alliance candidate,
and that be is an old Republican and would
ote for some good Republican, but would not
Vute forlngalls.
Mr. Turner is .Evasive.
Farwell -wants to know if 1 want his rote;
thinks it could be had. I wrote him an evasive
letter; asked him what he thought of it, etc
that I had not written ani one upon the subject;
would not be in Ingalls' way.
I taw Senator Uerrj, of Marshall county,
here esterda, and he is positively opposed to
Ircall. buttajs he will vote for mm if there is
no other Republican to vote for. Judee Per
kins introduced him to me, and asked me to
talk with him in Ins (l'erkins') interest, and I
did so. He would not support Osborne or
I'eck, but said he could support Perkinr I
told him not to fear; tbcre would come a time
when lie would get an opportunity to vote lor
some other Republican than Ingalls, and he
was anxious to get into the deal. I told him to
talk to senator Wilson, as I thought he felt
just as be (Berry) did.
I shall write benator Wilson, of Hays City,
to-night, and asK him what he thinks about a
rossibilitv ot my election, and he never talks,
told him jouuere my friend, and ho could
talk with you confidentially.
Be Can Tako Care of His Friends.
I have not money to spend in a fight. If I
succeeded. I could and would put up $5,000;
but it is difficult to use it that way that is,
promise in case of success. Yet you may have
tome friends who would be willing to take such
Chance.
We will pass that bill to etablish that United
btates judicial district, and I can have a United
.States Marshal and clerk. Ihe hrt chances
withadmin.strations and the cleric is for life,
but I guess you know I take care of my friends.
We have .igreed not to agitate this "bill until
the election there is over, for Incalls would be
jumped upon for all the places, and some of
the Eastern lcllows might try to commit him
against it.
Now I will leave the whole matter with you
and Hill P. t ilon and abide the results with
content. It there la anthing new in the
printer matter that I can adjust, let me know.
I hive just finished drawing a bill I shall intro
duce to loan moucy on farms security.
A Bill for Fanners Xoans.
I like it and I think you will. W ill send you
a cop) as soon as it is printed. It is on the gen
eral plan of issuing money on farm security in
the interest of farmers, instead of issuing it ou
"bonds in the mtertst of bankers.
Yours truly, E. J. Turner.
P. S. Unless Ingals gets some Alliance votes
be will go in with 02, who will vote for him a
reasonable numuer of times, but as soon as
their instructions are completed thev will leave
him. Some if the Alliance candidates may ex
pect to get'somc of the Republicans when thej
lc.at e Ingalls. That would keep all of them in
the field. Codding thought he could get the
Republican vote when Ingalls was out of the
waj. Of con: c an Allianc caucus fortha;
purpose would name the man, and that ends it,
T.
1i hy the Letter Is Made Public.
This letter came to Mr. McGrath's office
with other correspondence, and was opened
by Ins confidential clerk, who turned it
over to Chairman Chase, of the Alliance
Legislative Committee. Copies were made
of the letter, and the original was turned
over to Mr. McGratb. The Alliance lead
ers then asked Mr. McGrath to give the
letter to the public and clear himself of any
suspicion which might nttach to the propo
sitions contained He refused to give the
letter to Chairman Chase for publicity,
knowing of no copies having been made of
it. Mr. Cha.e then turned over his copy of
the letter to the editor of the Advocate. Ac
companying the publication of the letter is
the tollowing comment by the editor, Br.
McLallin:
The following letter, which has fallen into
rvur hands, w ill explain itself. In giving it to
the public we believe we are performing a
sacred duty. The interests at stake arc too
great to be sacrificed to any personal consider
ation. Wc regret the pos.tion in which the
publication of the letter places the President
of our State Alliance and a member of the
Executive Board (Codding) We leave them
to make such personal explanation as they
may have to make. The schemes that are un
folded in this interesting document are worthy
of some consideration at this time. We expect
this publication to lead to other developments,
which we shall git e to our readers as the plot
unfolds.
3Ir. 3IcGrath Has Little to Say.
Mr. McGrath was seen by a reporter this
afternoon. He taid the Alliance officers
were at liberty to inspect all his letters,
both those received and dispatched by him.
He had nothing to conceal Jrom them. The
letter printed by the Advocate was an exact
copyot the one received by him. He had
no farther statement to make to the public,
beyond this: He could not prevent people
from writins to him. Other officers of the
Alliance declined to be interviewed con
cerning the letter.

They had proceeded but a short distance
when he asked her if she was willing to die

A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT.
CONFERENCES BETWEEN PARKELL AND
CBBXEH AT AN EKD.
Parnell Will Retire From the Leadership
in Tavor or Dillon McCarthy to Step
Down Also Hoth Sides Are Entirely
Satisfied With the Result.
rET CABLE TO THE DISFATCII.1
Loxdox, Jan. 7. Mr. Parnell, accom
panied by several friends, arrived to-day at
Charing Cross by the tidal train from
Folkestone. Ko demonstration whatever
was made. A conference of the anti-Par-nellite
leaders was held at the National
Liberal Club. The news received from
Boulogne in regard to the conference be
tween Parnell and O'Brien was satisfactory
both to the McCarthyites and the members
of the club. A majority of the National
Liberals express themselves as having no
fear of the McCarthyites agreeing to any
line of action tending to weaken the alliance
between the Irish party and the Glad
stonians. Advices received from Boulogne state
that upon Mr. O'Brien's personal entreaty
he was empowered to ask Justin McCarthy
to retire from the Chairmanship of the anti
Parnell section of the Irish partvin favor of
John Dillon, or, it is understood, the con
lerence agreed that if O'Brien preferred to
do so, he could serve as Chairman. Ac
cording to the same advices O'Brien and
McCarthy are to have an interview at Bou
logne to-morrow, when the final settlement
of the subject will be made. Gladstone is
understood to have secretly approved the
plan decided upon, and the Parnellites are
said to be pledged to abandon Parnell if he
proves insincere in the pledges giren.
John Dillon has cabled from New York
bis approval of Parnell's temporary retire
ment from the Chairmanship in favor of
O'Brien. The negotiations with McCarthy
will follow. During the course of inter
views in -Boulogne to-dav Mr. O'Brien is
reported to have said: "My conferences
with Mr. Parnell have been finished." Mr.
Gill is announced to have said that he was
not at liberty to speak on the subject of the
conferences, except so far as to say that a
peaceful settlement of the matters in dispute
may be expected.
Later, Mr. O'Brien said: "I have nothing
to add to the communications that have al
ready been made to the newspapers, exceDt
that, in view of all there is at stake for un
happy Ireland, and in theinterests of friend
ship and good will between the two peoples,
I respectfully entreat our friends in a por
tion of the English press to exercise patience
while we are discussing most difficult and
delicate matters with our brother represent
atives of Ireland."
AFTER GENERAL BOOTH.
London Journals Looking Up His Disposal
of Certain Funds.
1BT PCMiAf'S CABLE COJIPA1TT.I
Loxdoit, Jan. 7. A determined effort is
being made to obtain seme light on General
Booth's financial administration of the funds
at his disposal. The newspapers are on his
track to discover that and to prove the sin
cerity of the pledge he made, that every
shilling of the money the pubiic subscribed
wonld be kept sacredly and separately and
devoted to the social purpose for which it
was given.
The General went through the formality
of enrolling a deed in chancery. It is now
pointed out that the deed gives the sub
scribers no security whatever tor the 1,000,
000 he requires. Another deed was regis
tered, which simply and purely revoked the
old deed, and constituted General Booth the
sole trustee.
SICK AND STARVING.
Terrible Suffering Among the Idle Weavers
of Silesia.
TBT DUJTLAF'S CABLE COMPART. 1
Beklijt, Jan. 7. The extreme cold
weather, theMcKinley bill and small wages
combined, have created a new famine in the
Englengebirge district or Silesia. Hunger
typhus is reported from several villages in
tlie Duke of Ritisbon's territory aud the
domains of other nobles.
The Government is doing nothing to bring
aid to the suffering people, ss the official in
vestigation into the resources of the weavers
is not finished. The starving people assert
that their petitions to the Emperor tor help
have been intercepted. A lady of high rant
started to-day from Schweidmtz for Berlin
to place another petition personally in the
Emperor's own hands. The pastors are
publishing heartrending appeals for aid.

TWO PRESIDING OFFICERS.
Two Rival Claimants to tho Chair Sit Side
by Side at Lincoln.
Lkjcolx, Neb., Jan. 7. The proceed
ings iu the Nebraska Legislature this after
noon have been of an extraordinary char
acter. At 7 o'clock the Senate and
Honse assembled in joint session
for the purpose of canvassing the vote of
Stttte officers. Lieutenaut Governor Mick
lejohn advanced to the cli3ir to preside,
claiming his right under the Constitution,
the Statutes and the uniiorm practice of the
State. Speaker Elder, of the House, re
fused to vacate, and the two officers occu
pied chairs side by side, each claiming the
gavel. The Speaker attempted to call the
body to order, but was himself called to
order by the Lieutenaut Governor.
The Speaker was directed by the Lieuten
ant Governor to open the package and read
the returns. He began the work, but was
advised by the attorney for the Independent
party not to do so. He then relused to go
ort-vith the work. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor ruled that no business could be trans
acted until the returns were canvassed, and
this brought on a deadlock. The joint con
vention sat for nearly four hours, the time
being taken up by oratorical lencing. The
Independent or Alliance party is contesting
the election of the Democratic Governor
and the remaining State officers, all Repub
licans, Tbey wish to present the announce
ment of the election of these officers, evi
dently preferring to seat the contestants di
rectly. A DEADLOCK UNBS0KEN.

noon session of the House another ballot
for Speaker was cast, resulting in Searles,
Republican, 40; Stivers, Democrat, 41;
Champlin, Alliance, 33 a vote identical to
the last previous ballot.
The House then adjourned till morning,
and the Conference Committee from the
cancus resumed their efforts to bring about
a compromise.
SMALL NOTES WANTED

Dollars in Current Use.

This Kind of Honey.
TEEAfcUREK HUSTON HAS A SCHEME
rFBOM A STAFF COKEESPOSDEXT.3
"Washington, Jan. 7 The bill intro
duced in the House by Mr. Kelly, of Kan
sas, providing forau issue of 50,000,000
ol paper fractional currency, in denomina
tions of 5, 10, 2d and SO cents, has excited
some discussion, but it does not seem to
meet with much favor. Mr. Huston, United
States Treasurer, said ia regard to the mat
ter to-day: "It is not to be denied that
fractional paper currency has some ad
vantages over coins of like denomination.
For transportation by mail it is ever so
much more convenient, and it does not suf
fer loss of value ordinarily by wear.
"The loss by abrasion of the subsidiary
coins is enormous. Yon will hardly find
one that does not exhibit signs of wear
which signify an appreciable diminishment
in its worth. There are at present 28,000,
000 half dollar pieces in the sub-Treasuries
at San Francisco and New York, and T will
venture to assert that something like 75 per
cent of these coins are in a condition to be
considered as uncurrent, on account of the
abrasion they have suffered. Not only do
such coins undergo destroying wear in the
hands of the public, but in the process of
being shifted about the vaults in bags they
lose individual weight.
Demand for Small Currency.
"But the demand for fractional currency
is made almost purely on sentimental
grounds. People feel as if they had more
money when they have a lot of little bills in
their pockets, and the readiness with which
such small notes can be mailed in any sums
seems an advantage. However, there is not
much strength in this latter reason,
inasmuch as postal notes are purchasable lor
the same purpose.
"Undoubtedly, we have too many silver
half-dollars, and it is most desirable tbat
the surplus of them now lying in the vaults
should be recoined as soon as possible into
dimes and quarters. The demand for dimes
in particular is much greater than the
supply, and the same may be said of nickels.
You see, two dimes and a nickel will always
make a Quarter. On the other hand the
people seem to have more than enough half
dollars in current use. It is impossible to
tell just how many they have. We know
how many silver dollars are in circulation,
because we have not been coining them for
very long, but tne smaller pieces have been
minted since the beginning of things. Of
the fact that there are not en. ugh quarters,
dimes and nickels we have positive knowl
edge. Treasurer Bustoon's Recolnage Scheme.
"My project, now before Congress, is to
charge tip to the bullion fund the amount in
the possession of the Treasury of trnctional
sliver coins and likewise the 56,000,000 of
trade dollar bullion, the aggregate -being
something like $25,000,000. Supposintrthis
done, I propose that the Secretary be allowed
to issue the entire amount in Treasury notes,
under the act of July 14, 1S90, equal to the
par value of the fractional silver charged to
the bullion account and the trade dollar
bullion at its present estimated value.
"The Secretary would be authorized by
Congress to have the fractional silver and
the trade dollar bullion coined into standard
silver dollar thus anticipating the ulti
mate redemption of the Treasury notes. The
loss incidental to recoinage should be
charged to the silver profit fund. The Gov
ernment ought hardly to interpose any ob
jection to printing Iractional currencv if the
people want it, inasmuch as so much of it is
destroyed, or lor other reasons never comes
in for redemption, that the profit on its
issue is very large indeed.
"Uncle Sam is many millions of dollars
ahead so far in clear gain on the sma,ll bills
he has given circulation to in the past."

EDMUNDS GROWS SARCASTIC.
lie Fours Ont a Little Bitterness on the
Financial U1II.
Washington, Jan. 7. -The financial
bill was taken up in the .Senate to-day and
Mr. Daniel spoke in favor of the absolute,
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Mr.
Plumb followed Mr. Daniel. He credited
the silver act of last session with having
had the effect of preventing a universal
financial panic, but he could not give his
support to the present bill.
Mr. Sawyer moved to go into executive
session.
"Oh," said Mr. Edmunds, "let us take a
vote on this bill now."
Mr. Stewart expressed the desire that an
early day should be fixed for taking the
vote.
Mr. Edmunds What is your idea of an
earlv day?
Mr. Stewart Let us say Saturday next.
Mr. Edmunds, (in a tone of bitter sar
casm) The session is drawing to an end and
this most important and immaculate bill
ought to be got into the form of law at the
earliest posslblemoment. The country, of
course, is suffering for it. Disaster and
bankruptcy are said to be impending, and
therefore we ought not to leave a stone un
turned to get an immediate vote upon it.
After a brief executive session, the Senate
adjourned.
THE SHIPPING BILL.
Speeches For and Against the Measure In
the House.
Washington, Jan. 7. The House to
day went into committee of the whole, Mr
Burrows, of Michigan, in the chair, lor the
further consideration of the shipping bill.
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, opposed the
measure because it proposed to grant an in
discriminate subsidv to vessels of every
character engaged iu the foreign trade. The
pending measure was a natural result of the
McKinley bill, and was 'driving an ad
ditional nail into the Republican coffin.
Mr. Dingley, of Maine, reviewed the de
cadence of the American shipping interests,
and said that In such a condition as the
country now lound itself, with Great Britain
entrenched on every ocean route, it was
obvious that it was utterly out of the power
ot private individuals, without assistance in
some direction, to dislodge the shipping of
Great Britain.
Mr. Dockery went into a discussion of
the relation between the tariff and the carry
ing trade, declaring that the Republican
policy of.excluslon of imports was at war
with the intere of tffe American carrying
trade.
PUSHING ACHESOITS CLAIMS.
PlttshnrffAttornejs Urge His Appointment
on President Harrison.
rnoitA STAFF COnr.ESVONDEST.
Washington, Jan. 7. The representa
tives of the Allegheny County Bar, Messrs.
Shiras, Robb, Ncgley, Christy, Watson,
Schoyer and Scott, accompanied by Repre
sentative Dalzell, called upon the President
this morning for the purpose of urging the
appointment of Judge Acheson to succeed
Judge McKenntn on the bench of the
United States Circuit Court.
The distinguished gentlemen were intro
duced to the President by Mr. Dalzell, and
were received with the greatest cordiality.
After hearing the encomiums of Judge
Achesnn, the President expressed himself
as well satisfied of the Judge's fine abilities,
but, of course, gave no indication of w bat
course he would take in the matter. He
suggested smilinclr that he supposed Mr.
jAchesga would have the support of the J
western partot the State, aud, from what he
had heard, that Mr. Hollingsworth would
have a strong indorsement from the eastern
part of the State. There were other candi
dates as well, and he would do the best be
could to decide without prejudice for the
best interest of the district and the courts.
Leaving the President's house, the delega
tion called at the Department of Justice and
had a brier conversation with Attorney Gen
eral Miller. The Pittsburgers departed for
home this evening.
REITER IS CENSURED,
THE NATAL COMMANDER CONDEMNED
FOR HIS RECENT CONDUCT.
Secretary Tracy Beads Him a Severe Lec
tureHe Should Have Protected Gen
eral Barrnndla at All Hazards The
'Duties of Naval Officers Laid Down.
Washington, Jan. 7. Secretary Tracy
has written a letter of unqualified censure
to Commander Reiter, who was relieved of
his command for his action at San Jose at
the time of the killing of General Barrundia
on board the steamer Acapulco. The follow
ing extracts will serve to show the severity
of the censure.
In your situation, in command of a force of
public vessels of the United States, in a terri
tory uhicti. if not at that moment at war, had
recently been tho scene of hostilities, as well as
of civil disturbances, it was your duty to watch
with the most active solicitude ovir the inter
ests of your countrv in that quarter and especi
ally its interests afloat.
From the moment that the approach of the
Acapulco, a steamer bcarinc the American flag,
was known to you, you should have taken every
step legally in jour power to give countenance
and support to her captain, and protection to
all persons or hoard, especially when jou knew
that their safety was likely to be menaced.
Instead of this, in your apparent endeavor to
escape responsibility, you remained so com
pletely passive, that as far as events on board
the Acapulco were concerned, you and your ves
sels might as well have been on the other side
of the ocean.
V henever any passenger, whether American
or foreign, is received on hoard an American
vessel, he comes under the American flag and
is entitled to the protection and security of
which tnat flag is the guarantee.
It is believed that few cases have ever oc
curred in the history of the United States
where a commanding officer so completely
abandoned the responsibilities of his position,
as according to yonr own showine, you did on
this critical occasion. A United btates officer
doos not ask of a foreign Government permis
sion to offer asylum to any person on hoard an
American vessel at sea, who stands in need of a
ref ace. An officer who abdicates bis authority
and that of the nation he represents, and sur
renders it to others, has a lesson to learn before
he can safely be entrusted with the command
of a ship of war.
MEMOKIAL OF SPINNER.
Female Treasury Clerks Urged to Erect a
Statue of Him.
IFBOM A STAFF COBItESFOSDENT.I
Washington, Jan. 7. "The propo
sition that the women clerks in Washington
owe it to their own sense of propriety to
build here a monument to the late General
F. E. Spinner is creditable to the author of
it, and it ought to grow from an oral hint
into an actual fact," aaid W. A. Croffut,
the well-known newsnaper writer, to-day.
"I was a clerk in the Treasury Department
when the quiet revolution took place, and I
know that the Treasurer was entirely
responsible for it. I met him here on his
visit a year ago and he expressed the pride
he felt in that action.
"The best thing lever did here," he said,
with great earnestness, "was the appointment
of the first woman clerK; in face I oiten think
it was the only deed of my life that is worth
remembering. I am glad I did it; the re
sult shows that it was worth doing. It has
improved the service and helped a thousand
women to win their bread." But in his
prime General Spinner was such a roughly
and rudely pictureqne person that a statue
would be the fittest memorial. The women
of all tne departments owe it to themselves
to make up a generous purse for such a
statue, and it seems to me that it should be
placed on the front of the east flight of
step', near the room he occupied when the
first woman was called to earn her living by
clipping greenbacks."
MORTON EXPLAINS HIS ABSENCE.
Why He Was Not In the Chair at Monday's
Critical Period.
IFBOM A STAFF COBRISr-ONDEITT. J
Washington, Jan. 7. Vice President
Morton feels called upon to explain why he
was absent from the chair at the critical
moment on Monday when the Stewart finan
cial motion was sprung. He feels unneces
sarily hurt by the criticisms that have been
heaped upon him by a portion of the Re
publican press. Before be left-the chair as
usual for his lunch, after the morning busi
ness had been concluded, Senator George
had been recognized to continue an unfin
ished speech on the elections bill, and had
commenced his speech on that bill. The
Vice President had not the mast remote
idea that any other business would be con
sidered during the day.
It is considered a "matter of courtesy to
ask Senators on both sides of the Chamber
to take the chair when the presiding officer
has occasion to vacate it temporarily, and
on this occasion Mr. Harris was called to
the chair. No other ruling could have been
made by the Vice President orany other
Senator than tbat made by Senator Harris.
Upon receiving from Senator Hoar the first
intimation that Mr. George was not con
tinuing his speech, and that a vote was
being taken, the Vice Piesident immediately
resumed the chair.
BLAINE SHOULD ACT PROMPTLY.
Congressman McCreary Advocates a Vigor
ous Policy Toward Salisbury.
IFBOM A STAFF COBltESFOlf DEM. 1
Washington, Jan. 7, Representative
McCreary, who was formerly Chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and
is now head of the minority of that commit
tee, thinks it is pretty neir the time the seal
fishery dispute is approaching a settlement.
"I think," he said to-day, "that the time
has arrived for Mr. Blaine to apply his vig
orous policy. The matter must be settled
between now and spring.
"The preservation of the seal depends
upon prompt action now. Mr. Blaine
should take a firm stand and let this dally
ing go no further. He must adopt a vigor
ous policy, or else back down altogether. If
he is going to maintain our right to protect
the seal, a right which was never disputed
when Russia exticised it, he must announce
to Great Britain, in terms not to be misun
derstood, that she must -arbitrate upon the
questions which he presents, not that pro
posed by Lord Salisbury, or that the United
States will quit negotiations and enforce
their rights."
A CHICAGO VIEW OF IT.
It Costs More to Kill a Horse in Mississippi
Than a Man.
IFBOM A BTA1F COBKESPOKDENT.
Washington, Jan. 7. "It costs more
to kill a horse than it does to kill a man in
the State ot Mississippi," remarked a Chi
cago Republican this alternnon. "One of
our newspaper mn Mr. Glenn a repre
sentative of the Tribune, went down to
Carrollton to investigate the killing of Post
master Matthews by Druggist McBride.
The exigencies of the correspondent's
situation, and a desire to get bis news off in
a hurry, resulted in the decease of a horse.
The correspondent had achieved sudden

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Local Horsemen Figuring on a
Good Baca Heeling Here.
OPINIONS ABOUT THE POOL BILL.
A Home Baseball Magnate Explains tbe In
tentions of President Prince.
TUB SC0EEE FOE THE NEW BALL CLUB
Any views, conjectures or opinions re
garding local horse races are always interest
ing to a very large proportion of the citizens
of Allegheny county. At present there are
many patrons of the good old sport of trot-ting-racing
wondering what will be accom
plished in Pittsburg this year. Opinions
are yaried on the question, and the writer
spent some time yesterday among local
authorities learning wnat each one tnought of
the prospects. An official of the Homewood
DriTlng Park said:
"We think our prospects extremely good.
While we have not held a meeting of the
directors this year, a number of us have met
and discussed matters quito fully. We are
satisfied tbat we will open tbe grand circuit
campaign. We will be a week ahead ot Cleve
land, and we are considering what special in
ducements wo will hold out to 'green' horses
and young, both local and national. Our stake
races will lie a go as far as I know."
"What about the 'pool bill?' "
"Well, now, we don't really want to talk any
thing about tbat bill. I know that I am not
prepared to say anything more than this: I
wisb a bill legalizing pool selling on tracks
would become a law. There is no sound argu
ment against it, I am not going to argue the
question at all, but we are looking altor our
own interest!, and our interests are tho inter
ests of tbe entire community. We are not
idle."
Subsequently it was learned that very strong
and what is expected to be successful efforts
are to be made toward having a bill passed in
Harrisburg legalizing pool selling on raco
tracks. Tbat is all the bill aims at, and it is to
be supported by some very Influential business
men in this city and Philadelphia. There is
another feature. Tho local official above re
ferred to said that if the pool reform bill
passed there would be a running meeting here
next May or June. At any rate, local patrons
of tbe sport can rest assured that no stone will
be left unturned to have some good horse races
here.
Postponed their dates.
The Association Football Players Sleet and
Cliango Their Schedule.
A meeting of the Western Association Foot
ball League was held at the Hotel Schlosser
last night. '
Secretary Macpherson stated the meeting
had been called for the purpose of getting the
opinions of the different clubs in the League
in regard to postponing the schedule of games.
Five games had been scheduled for Christmas
Day and a like number for New Year's Day of
which only one. tbat between the McDonald
Ravers and Allegheny thistles, had been de
cided. It was the general opinion tbat games should
be postnoned and tbe schedule was changed to
open on February 11, and to close on Saturday
May 2, the game between McDonald and This
tle to hold good. The second game in tbe
competition will be played February 28. while
three Saturdays will be taken up in March,
postponed games should there be any to be
played on vacant dates. Every Saturday in
April will be taken up.
Homestead visited McKeesport last Satur
day on the understanding tbat tbe ground was
in playing condition, butfound it a sheet ol ice.
The game was played under protest aud the
meeting, decided tbat tbe game be declared
void.
'Ihe Association team of the three A's expect
to have a strong team u hen the league compe
tition opens. They have secured the services
of George Wood, of New Castle, Pa., and W.
Bores, who lately played for that club. Two
better players are not to be found around Pitts
burg. HERE'S A POINTER.
A Local Magnate Tells What Sir. Prince, of
Boston, Means.
While everything Is quiet among the local,
baseball magnates, tnere is still considerable
guessing going on. A very well informed man
said yesterday:
"How let me tell you that President Prince,
of the Players' League, or anything that it may
be called, is a shrewd man, and, in all his efforts
in making deals, he is not trying to obtain an
Association franchise. He is trying to convince
the directors of tho Boston National League
club tbat tile stock of tbe Boston Players'
League club is worth a good price. Mr. Prince
knows that every time he mentions Association
franchise the Boston triumvirs lose two ounces
of blood. Mr. Prince is trying for a price, not
for a franchise."
STILL ON THE TURF.
Captain Brown Said to Haroy Entered Senor
ita for tho Suburban,
A gentleman who claims to be on "the in
side" stated yerterday tbat Captain S. S.
Brown's colors will still bo flying on the turf
this year, notwithstanding Mr. Brown's sale re
cently. The informant said:
"Tbe Captain has Sennnta entered In the
city and suburban and Defaulter is entered in
several races. The Captain also has several
good youngsters that he wants to see on the
turf, and he is making arrangements to get
them tbere. Ob, nol Captain Brown has not
retired Irom the turf, and believe what I say."
The Local Scorer.
There is always an interest in knowing who is
to be tbe official scorer of tbe local ball club.
So far there is only one applicant, viz , John
Kennedy. It was expected tbat others might
apply for the office. Mr. Kennedy, as stated in
this paper more than 12 months ago, is a quali
fied young gentleman; well informed in base
ball law and without doubt be can hold his
own, at least, with any scorer in the country.
Saturday's Foot Race.
The 150-yard foot race between Klkirk and
Abo Smith takes place on Saturday at Expo
sition Park. Smith has recovered from tbe
effects of tbe cold be had last week and is run
ning well. Nikirk is in excellent condition
and the race Is likely to be productive of
spirited hotting.
A Local Horse Sale.
An interesting horse sale took place in the
city yesterday. Mr. W. W. Kerr sold to Mr.
J. Jones, of Allegheny, tho young trotter, Fred
Waverly, for J800. Mr. Kerr jnst recently
bought the horse and he is ot a very promising
kind. He will start in some of the lojal races
next spring.

TO BUILD THE CANAL.
Pittsburgers Can Have It In Operation in
Four Years If They Form a Company
Uncle Sam Would Not Be So Kapid.
The Ship Canal Commission held another
meeting yesterday. Consideration was given
to the report to be submitted to the Legisla
ture on the 15th inst. The members were
well pleased by Governor Beaver's reference
to the project iu his message.
Mp.Rben Brewer, speaking last night ol
the construction of the canal, said it could
not be built because of tne revised Constitution
of 1873, which prohibited the State sanction
ing or supporting any project which was not of
an essentially public nature and for the good of
the whole State. He thought tho Legislature
would ask the Federal Government to do
the work. His individual opinion of how the
work sbonld be done was by 50 of Pittsburg's
solid citizens coming together aud forming a
company tor the purpose.
A private contractor wonld build the canal
in four vears: if the Government undertook it,
it would not be completed in 20 years, and
would be of no use to tbe present generation of
business men. Tbe canal was estimated to cost
?25,0C0.0O0. Based on a traffic of 10,000,000 tons
of freight annuallr. a conservative estimate
of the saving to citizens would be 50 cents per
ton, or about 5,000.000 each year. So, the canal
would pay for itself in bve years, wben tbe
Federal Government might buy it and make it
a free waterway.
TO HELP THE MONUMENT.
Arrangements for a Fair in the Central

The Past Officers' Association of tho Daugh
ters of Liberty held a meeting last night
