TT THE PITTSBtTEG- DISPATCH. THURSDAY.., FEBRUARY 26, 1891 at. 'i 3? DEMAND & HEARING. The Claims of the Eight-Hour Bill Strongly Urged on Senator Plumb BY THE LABOR FEDERATION. An Extremely Caustic Address Sent to the Kansas Senator. FIGHT OYER THE SHUTIKG BILL. Uuch Money Spent on Both Sides, Knt Its Friends Confident, 1I1GXIYS AITOIM1IENT DECIDED OX tFROM A 8TAIF COHlILSrONPKXT.l 'Washii.gtcw, Feb. 25. The Federation of Labor, representing 30,000 workinguien of tbe District, and petitions from hundreds of thousands ot working people throughout the country, last night adopted a caustic ad dress to Senator I'lumb, Chairman of the Seuate Committee on the Order of Business, demanding that a time be fixed for tbe consideration of the eight-hour bill, which was passed by tbe House session, and which has rested snugly in the Senate eTer since. The address cites the language of the mem orial of tbe Federation of Labor unions, pre sented to Congress lait September, protesting against violations of tbe law by permitting workmen to be employed overtime, even where they are paid extra for such overtime. "Among all the ways of violating the spirit of the eight-hour law," says tbe mem orial, "there is none we detest so much as the "permitting of favored Government em ployes to grab all the work and all the pay. If that is all the law is to accomplish, it would better be repealed." Arguments for Eight Hours. The gist of tbe argument for eight hours, contained in the address, is found in the following: "Unless each public employe is limited to ciebt hours, the whole purpose ot tbe law fails no physical or mental Improve ment is secured, no citcntinn of employ ment to more persons takes place, no example to private employers and workers is set. It is also asserted that the strict en forcement of the eight-hour system would be unjust to the taxpayers of tbe country, but we fail to see wherein the taxpayers would be injured if the Government em ploy 1,500 at i'2 per day of eight hours, in stead of 1,000 men at 3 per day of 12 hours. The daily expenditures would be the same in either cases 3,000, but the good effect of the eight-hoar system would be the employ ment of 500 additional men. "Take the Government Printing Office, for ii. stance, as an example. There are about 2,500 persons employed in that establishment, nearly all of them being paid by the per cent or by the hour. Compositors are paid at the rate of 50 cents per 1,000 ems or 40 cents per hour, aud they arc paid for every hour they work, no matter whether the num ber be six or seven. An Kqnalization or Iabor. "It will, therefore, readily be seen that if two of these employes labor 12 hours a day they will each receive $4 SO, or ?9 GO for the tno,and that three men working eight hours per day wouid receive S3 20 each, or ?9 Co for the three. The samo argument would hold good as to piece workers. Therefore, the only effect the enforcement of the eight-hour law would have in tins case, nhich is a fair sample of its operation in all Government workshops, would be the employment of more men and women without additional expense to the peo ple." r The address thrnsts at Mr. riumb the follow ing from Senator Iniralls: "In a speech recent ly delivered in tbe Senate jour honorable col league eloquently, fearlessly and truthfully arraigned tbe present financial, industrial and social sj 6 terns of the country, declaring that a financial sj&teni under which more than one calf of the enormons wealth of the country, derived from the bounty of nature and the labor or all, is owned by a little more than30, 000 people, while 1.000.000 American citizens, able aud willing to toil, are homeless tramps, starling for bread, needs readjustment.' Senator Plamb Stirred Up. "And, further, that "a social system which olfcis to tender.virtuons and dependent women the alternative between degradation and sui cide as an escape from beggary is organized crime, for which some dav unrelenting justice will demand atonement aud expiation.' " Ibc address has stiried Mr. Plumb and other Western Senators to their deepest depths, on account of the probable alliance for offense and defense of the labor unions and the farmers, and, though he is utterly opposed to the eight hour plan, and has snubbed delegations from a number of labor organizations persistently, it is said this evening that be is disposed to give the eight-bour bill a show, honing that tbe respon sibility iorits defeat will be shifted to the Sen ate at large. If the influence of the measure extended no farther than the Government work, there would be no difficulty about its passage, but railroad corporations, manufacturers and em ployers of labor all over the country have flooded tbe Senate with letters praying for the defeat of the bill, because its passage would give an immense impetus to the eight-hour movement that is now universal. Ligiitner. SECBETAHY FOSTER'S FAMILY. Society Tcople at the Capital Much In terested in Its Members. tVlIOM A ETAU" COBUESrONPE-JT.I Washington:, Feb. 23. The society people ot the capital are now more interested by far in the family of the new Secretary of the Treasury than in what is likely to be his policy. Airs. Foster, who is remembered here as a very sweet and gracious lady, made her self ery popular here during the periods that her husband served in Congiess. She has navy gray hair and a striUiugly intelligent face. The secretary's family consists of two daughters, both exceptionally handsome yonng ladies, and fully equal to the demands of society. Their beauty bit. striking contrast, one "being a blond and the other a brunette. The elder, Jessie, was married lat fall ti Dr. Myers. As a coincidence, it might be mentioned that Stcretarvs Husk and Foster were in Congress together. Uotb have two daughters, who were very intimate. Now the two men are in the Cabinet together.

SILVER POOL REPORT. THE COMMITTEE SAYS- OWEUBY'S CHABGE IS HOT PBOVEIf. No Evidence to Show the Existence of Any Silver Speculation Owenby Dnbbed a Itomancer A Clean 15111 of Honesty Given Cameron and Others "Washington, Feb. 25. The silver pool investigating committee made its report to the House this evening. The report, which is unanimous, gives tbe history of the inves tigation, alluding to the more important testimony, but not reviewing it in detail. It dismisses the testimony of Owenby as the product of a romancer, whose imagination is not restrained by limitations of truth. Prior to the examination of Owenby, says the repori, the testimony of Senators Vest and Cameron and Mr. Littler brought out the tact that the latter bad purchased silver for Senator Cameron, pending the silver legislation of tbe last session, aud had sold it by the Senator's order before the silver bill passed. Subsequently Representative Abner Taylor, of Illinois appeared before the committee and testified that he bought silver after the siherbill became a law, and when no additional silver legislation was pro posed or expected, and had sold it in August last. Gronud for tho Accusations. It is but just to say, continues the report, that a statement made by Hon. E. IL Conger in debate in tbe House on the 21th of June, 1S90, to the effect that he had been "approached to join silver pools" furnished some excuse for tho publication of the general allegation that silver pools existed, pending tho silver legisla tion of July of that year, but none for the charge that certain Senators and representa tives had accented such invitation. Mr. Concer, who is now United States Minister to Brazil, and therefore bej ond our jurisdiction, was requested by cable to transmit to the com mittee the names of persons who had ap proached him, in order that they might be subpoenaed, but be declined so to do. The la.-t that the exaggerated expressions sometimes made by a member in the heat of debate, in order to further or defeat a measure, may furnish an excuse for. if not suggest, such dispatches, affords an additional reason for a careful avnidance in debate of intimations that corrupt influences are being brought to Dear upon members to effect legislation, unless the member making such insinuations is prepared to substantiate tbe charge. It is well under stood that a good measure is seriously weak- enea uy even a suspicion tnat improper meas ures are being employed to advance it. No Ground for Owenby's Charge. Your committee have not been able to obtain any evidence to support Owenby's original charge that there was a silver pool, or organi zation of silver speculators, who had made large purchases of silver bullion by exerting its combined influence to brine about silver legis lation, wuicn would cause an'auvance ot silver and thereby largo profits to tbe manipulators. There were many speculators buying silver in dividually, and probably in some cases in com pany, for an anticipated rise through expected legislation, and undoubtedly exerting more or less influence on public sentiment to bring about such legislation, but there is no evidence that there was any pool or combination of such speculators working together to this end, or that any Senator or Representative was con nected with such a poo'. The only organized, or combined effort to in duce silver legislation disclosed by the evi dence was the public organization 'known as the "Silver Committee." appointed by the St. .Louis Silver Convention, which has had its headquarters at Washington during the past year. This committee, according to the testi mony of Mr. Francis G. Newlands. of Nevada, one of its members, has printed and distributed hundreds of thousands of pamphlets and circu lars, published articles in newspapers and maintained agents in the field to visit organiza tions, particularly the Farmers Alliance, in various parts of the country for the purpose of working up and securing tbe expression of a public sentiment in favor of free coinazo of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 of gold, at an expense, including the salary of the Secretary, of not less than $10,000 nor more than J15.O00 during tho pa6t yast year, which expense has been met by voluntary contributions of owners ot silver mines and bullion and others favoring such legislation. No Proof of Speculation, There was no evidence and the committee has no reason to believe that this committee, which Owenby described as the "Head Silver Pool,'' had any connection with silver specula tion or expected any money otherwise than for the purposes above stated. The organization apsears to be of the same character as many other organizations designed to influence public opinion to secure legislation. There is no evidence that auy pool, combination, syndi cate or individual speculator or speculators furnished money to enable members of Con gress to invest in silver, or carry silver, with the understanding that such memberB of Con gress were 10 have the profits, or that any Seuator or Representative was interested in any silver pool or syndicate as charged by Owenby; nor any evidence that any Senator, Representative or Governmentofficcr Individu ally invested in silver bullion, or was directly or indirectly interested in silver bullion, ot was directly or indirectly interested In silver specu lation, pending tbe silver legislation of the first session of tbe uresent Cougress, except that referring to Senator Cameron. The evidence chows that one Representative purchased silver after the act of July 14, 1S90, was passed, and wben no silver legislation was pending or proposed, sold it in August There is no evidence that any Representative is now or has been, during tbe present session of Con gress, directly or indirectly, interested in silver bullion or certificates representing silver bul lion. THE GL0BY OF WOMAN Highly Extolled In the Woman's National Council nt Washington. Washington, Feb. 25. Again to-day Al b&ugh's Opeia House, where tbe sessions of the Women's National Council are being held, was completely filled. "The Matriarchate, or Mother Age" was the subject of the first paper read. It was prepared by Elizabeth Cady Stan ton and was read before the council by Susan B. Anthony. "Gains of the Last Three Years" was the sub ject of a paper by Mary Sej mour How ell. She spoke of what is doing in various States for the political enfranchisement of women, and read, amid applause, that uart of the Constitution of Wyoming wherein it is enacted that women may vote. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was loudly applauded wben she came forward to speak on the topic, "The Relation of the Woman Suf frage Movement to Other Modern Reforms." At the conclusion of Mrs. How e' address tbe audience arose and sang the "IJattle.Ujmn ot the Republic," the song of which Mrs. Howe is tbe author. She herself repeated tbe words of the last verse and then all sang "Glory, Glory. Hallelujah." . "God's Women" was the snbject of a paper by the Rev. Anna B. Sbaw, ot this city, tho lecturer of the National W. C. T. U. At the afternoon session Mary h. Seymour, the editor of the Bttsinets Women's Jouj-nu', read a very able paper on tbe subject of "Oc cupations of Women to Dale." THE SHIPPING BILL. Money Being Spent by Both Sides to Aid or Defeat Its Passage. tFROM A STAFr COEKESPOXDENT. 1 Washington, Feb. 25. The prospects for the shipping subsidy bill are now very bright, according to its friends, who havo held since it disappeared from view tha- all that was neces sary was for the Committee on Rules to give a day for consideration. Tho only fault found with the committee is that it gives too much time, as the bill has been already thoroughly disenssed. and a few hours, instead of two davs, would have been sufficient. Opponents of the bill are indulging in some tall talk in regard to exposures of the use of money that will bo made if necessary to defeat the meas ure, but tuese must bo taken with much allow ance. The truth probably is that money has been spent by botu sides, in the way of quiet dinners and so forth. It is a fact that can be easily nroved, and The DlfcPATCU correspondent has it from distinguished autnority, tnat a large sum of money was sent here by British vessel owners, to be spent "legitimately" for the de feat of this shipping bill. Just as British man ufacturers had their agents here with pockets full of sovereigns to secure tbe defeat of tbe tariff bill. Mr. Farquhar, of New York, who has charge of tbe shipping bill, is now sanguine of its passage,aud. if it passes. there is no doubt of the signature by the Presidant. FLEMING IN ARIZONA. Census Report on the Valne of Farms and Cost of Irrigation. Washington, Feb. 2a The Census Bureau announces that there are 1.075 irrigated farms in Arizona, having a total area of 65,821 acres. The average cost of land. Including purchase pricp. fencing, plowing and water right, is $16 92 per acre, of which $7 07 represents the cost of water right, and the average valuation placed upon the land by the owners is $48 68 per acre, including buildings. Tbe average anuual cost of water is $1 55 per acre and the average annual value ot farm products $13 02 per acre, ranging from $9 26 in Maricopa to $31 in Yava pai county. Tho acreage now under irrigation asproaches tho maximum possible with tbe present water supply and methods of utilization, but the con servation of the flood waters that now annually run to waste would largely increase the area susceptible of successful cultivatiou. SENATOR WILSON'S DEATH. SUITABLE ACTION TAKEN ON IT IN BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE. Another Valnable Day JLost by Reason of the Sad Event Hollowness of tho Per functory Mourning Shown In Such Cases Young Senators Want Reform. rrBOM A STAFF COnr.ESPONDENT.I Washington, Feb. 25. The loss ot a day to the Senate on the receipt of news of tbe death of Senator "Wilson, of Maryland, has again called for public attention to tbe frequent waste of important time through what is for the most part a hollow show of respect and mourning. In tbe closing days of the session, when every minute is im portant, and it is a matter of doubt whether legislation that is vital to millions of people shall tail to go through, one whole sixth of tbe remaining time is lost on account of the death of a member, when that member would have been most honored by proceed ing with work that is of the highest in terest to his late constituents and to the rest of the country. Only a day or two ago considerable valua ble lime of the Senate was taken up by eulogies of a member of tbe House, who died many months ago, aud who when alive was not personally known to half a dozen of tbe Senators. The departments have been de moralized for nearly the whole ot this month in the interests of tbis formal and pretentious respect for the dead. Of the 24 days of the tbe montb, only 20 have been devoted to tne business of the Government, and tbe recur rence of the holidays made a great majority of the employes practically useless for many other days. Several of tbe younger Senators to-day ex pressed themselves in favor of enacting a law prohibiting this wholesale waste of public lime, but there are so many ot the old ones who want to be treatod according to distin guished precedent when they die, and tbe young ones say they will have to wait for a few more first-class Congressional funerals before they can enact the reform. Mr. Gorman announced in the Senate the death of nis colleague, and after an address in eulogy of the deceased, offered resolutions ex pressing the great sorrow with which tbe Senate had heard of the death of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Spooner paid his tribute to tbe dead Sen ator. Tbe resolutions wero agreed to. and Messrs. Gorman, Gray. Jones, (Ark.,) Pasco, Faulkner, Spooner. Wilson, (la.,) Mitchell and uixon were appointed a I unerai committee on the part of the Senate. The Senate, then, as a further mark of respect, adjourned. In tbe House, Mr. Gibson, of Maryland, an nounced feelingly the deatn of Senator Wilson, and the Speaker appointed the following com mittee to take action in regard to the fnneral: Messrs. Gibson. McCoraas, Rusk, Stockbridge, Stump, Mudd, Stone,(Mo.,) T, H. Brown and Abbott. The House tben, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock tbis evening. ATTACK ON BDTTEBW0BTH. Funston Pays His Respects to the Ohio Man, Amid General Hilarity. Washington, Feb. 25. The House to-day considered for a time, without action, the anti option bill, in committee of the whole, and in the courso of the general debate a controversy arose between Mr. Funston, of Kansas, in charce ot tha bill, and Mr. Bntterworth, of Ohio, and tho latter having made a remark which irritated Mr. Funston. Mr. Funston made an attack upon Mr.Bnttorwortb.in which ho allnded to the ofllce which Mr. ButterwortH occupied In the World's Fair Commission, and said that if that gentleman whose name was as sociated with the anti-option bill had taken as much time to forwarding that measure as he had to drawing his salary as Secretary of the World's Fair, the measure would now have been passed. Members on both sides sur rounded the two gentlemen and thoroughly en joyed tbe scene Mr. Funston declined to yield to Mr. Butter worth, which led Mr. Rogers to warn him that he must either get out of tbe ring or let the gentleman trom Ohio get over the ropes; while Mr. Spinola's quota of remark was "Breakaway, breakaway" Mr. Butterwortb. in replv, paid bis respects to Mr. Funston, and Mr. Hatch took the floor in denunciation of the action ot tbe mijority in not giving consideration to tbe option bill. PADDOCK'S PUEE FOOD BILL. The Senator Discourses on the Poisonous Nature of Most Eatables. IFHOJ! A STAFF COKRISPONDENT. I Washington, Feb. 25. Senator Paddock is growing very Impatient at the delay to take up his pure fooa bill, and fears that the loss of this day on account of tho death of Senator Wilson may result in disease and death of millions. Ha said in regard to the measure to-day; "If protection is worth anything, it should be uni versally applied, and our stomachs need to be protected as much as any of our industries. Several of tbe States have anti-adulteration laws, especially Massachusetts. These laws are seriouslv crippled by Federal inaction. "This adulteration is an abominable business. How do alum ana sulphate of copper strike you as component part3 qf bread? There is copprrin a great deal of our home-made butter, and much of the cheese we consume owe3 a great deal of its bulk to oleomargarine, and its rond is flavored and toughened with salts of mercury. It's bad enough to know that our cocoa is fall of oxide of iron, but think for a moment, if you will, of the undubltablo evi dence we have that vinecar is filled to overflow ing with sulphuric, hydro-chloric and pjrolig neous acids. Can any man, with a realizing sense of these facts, vote against the bill;" A VOTE ON FEIDAY Will Be Taken on the Shipping Subsidy IU1I in the House. Washington, Feb. 25. In the House to-day Mr. McKinley. from tho Committee on Rules, reported a resolution providing that to-morrow the House shall meet at 10 o'clock and shall immediately proceed to the consideration of the shipping bill, the general debate to close at 6 o'clock. On Friday tho House shall meet at 10 o'clock, and proceed to the consideration of the bill by paragraphs the proviou question to be considered as ordered at 5 o'clock. Tbe Democrats strongly protested against this method ot doing business. Mr. McKinley said that the majority were responsible far public legislation, and it should be permitted to put its purpose into public law to bo tried only bofore the great tribunal of the American people. (Republican applause.) "You have been tried, jou have been weighed in the balance and found wanting," were some of the remarks that came in chorus from tbe Democratic side. Mr. McKinley To that tribunal wo confi dently commit the work of the Fif ty-drst Con gress. The resolution was adopted. MAGNIN THE MAN. Taggart's Candidate to Secure the United States Marshalship. IFIIOU A STAFF COKltXSFONPEXT.l Washington, Feb. 25. It is stated here that President Harrison has finally made up his mind to appoint Farmer Taggart's candi date, Maznin, to tbe position of United States Marshal at Philadelphia. It is probable that the nomination will not be sent to tbe Senate at tbis session, becauso of the antagonistic feel ing credited to Senator Cameron in tho matter. Tbe President feels pretty certain that to send tbe nomination to the Senate at this timn would be certain of a defeat for himself, as Cameron prouauiy nas enougn innuence in the Senate to "hang up" the nomination. Leprosy in Pennsylvania. Washington, Feb. 25.

BOWED TO THE STORM t French Artists Will Not Exhibit Their Works at Berlin. THE PUBLIC CLAMOR TOO GREAT. Boulanjists Row Charged With Inciting the Turmoil, and MAY TDRN ON EMPRESS FREDEEICK TUT DUULAF'S CABLE COMFANTl. Paris, Feb. 25. The great excitement in this city caused by tbe rumor again that several French artists bad resolved to ex hibit at tbe Berlin Exposition, together with tbe extended star of tbe Empress Frederick and her continued freqnent visits to the studios, is still intense. The turmoil was originated by Deroulede and tbe Bou langists, and their gossip and loud objec tions finally led to imbuing tbe question with a character of some gravity, and so affected public opinion, which at first was disposed to leave the matter entirely to the opticn of the respective artists, to look upon the suggestion of extending the exposition as an evidence of treason and to stamp the display of any French works as emphatically wrong. Owing to this agitation, it is very likely that the more prominent French artists, in spite of tha engagements they have made to exhibit, will remain out and find some ex cuse to explain it. It is thought now that no painting of any value, artistically or otherwise, will go from bere to Berlin. To day a reporter called on several artists, who were to have been represented, and all of them said they should not now take any part, and assign some justification for their action. This decision on the part of tbe artists will thoroughly conform to the French sen titaent as at present shown. The public misconstrues the feeling and object of the artists, and calls their partic ipation an evidence of a lack of patriotism. Unfortunately the artists cannot afford to ignore this feeling, and therefore they must bow before ir. Many contend that the exposition would bo featureles-, so far as art is concerned, uuless a full display of all the French schools was represented. As tbis is not to be the case, theso people argue It is bet ter not to go to uerini at all. It is probable that the decision of the com mittees appointed by the two art societies here will bo adverse to making a display at Berlin, and if that docs como about it will be a means ot easily extricating all tbe artists from tbe dilemma. In Government circles a great deal of feeling is exhibited over this affair, and it is especially feared the Boulangisis may organize a demonstration on tbe occasion of the Em press Frederick's leaving Pans. There is, however, even in the face of this, absolutely no foundation for the report circu lated that the authorities meditate recalling M. H. Herhette, tbo French ambassador to Berlin. THE VAN ZANDT INCIDENT. A Report From St. Petersburg Disappoint ing to the Singer's Friends, rnr puklap's cable compakt.i Loudon, Feb. 25. The account of the recent unfortunate experience of the well-known American singer. Mile. Van Zandt, at St. Petersburg, wben that lady appeared in "MIgnon" apparently under the influence of stimulants, sent out by tbis agency, was taken from French and English journals and has not been authoritatively denied in either London or Paris. Tbe denials cabled to America are probably sent with reference to Mile. Van Zandt's approaching tour in that country. In referring to tho subject. Vanity Fair of last Saturday says: "I am sorry, and I am sure that th'e readers of Vanity Jtair will share mv regret, to hear that thero has been another Van Zindt incident, this time at St. Petersburg. Those most likely to know the facts were incredulous wben the story first appeared in print, and so telegraphed directly to tbe Russian capital for confirma tion. They wore grievously disappointed at finding that the original report was Correct." In tbe account origlnallv cabled, the pub lished statements were much modified and the unfortunate singer placed in as favorable light as possible. KILLED BY WOLVES.

This settles the matter so far as the members of tbe new company are concerned. They are now in shape to make a definite proposition to Washburne & Moen, and are coufident that it will be accepted. Wasbburue & Moen were represented at to day's meeting by attorneys, but these gentle men had not the authority to close the deal.

After the meeting the directors of the Colum bia Company held a meeting and got matters further in shape to present to Washburne & Moen. At an early date a committee Will be appointed to confer with Washburne A Moen. and, if possible, effect the transfer. Tbe main Cnicago.

O'NEILL RECEIVES PLEASIKG NEWS Frank Slavin Makes Quite a Show of Mitchell in a Club Boom. GESEEAL SPORTING KEWS OP THE DAI Two telegrams were received by the local baseball magnates yesterday afternoon that caused President J. Palmer O'Neill to dance au Irish jig and also make a pretty fair stacger at a Highland fling in Pratt's store. But J.. Palmer was not content with that manifestation of jubilation, for be did wonderful contortion acts on a chair, leaped over the counter, and probably would have attempted to stand on his head on the sidewalk curbstone had Captain Wisbartnot pat in an appearance. When the volatile President had read the telegrams and bad gotten reasonably near his normal condition he said: "We are all right. We are losing no men: no fear of that. Our mission on this mundane sphere is to go forth and conquer, and when tbe summer sun from its celestial abode is sending forth its rays in all their glorious refulgence to cheer tbe way faring denizens of tbe planet called eartb, wo in Pittsburg will. like the towering eagles, be soaring on and on to untold victories." The orator calmed down for a moment and reduced himself to inundanity sum iently to say: "Have a smoke on mo boys." The offer, of coarse, was accepted, but that is all that the President would give. No definite news was forthcoming and all be would say about the telegrams was that tbey concerned two Asso ciation players who would play in Pittsburg and that no names could be given until their contracts had been promulgated and advance money sent to them. There wero various conjectures as to what players the dispatches referred. It was tbe general opinion that they related to Shindle, who is m tbe East, and to Reilly, tbe Columbus third baseman. Director Reay was allowed to read them and tben he "set up" tbe Henry Clays. He also refused to cive out any Infor mation, but remarked: "It's all right; just wait awhile." So we'll have to wait. Mr. O'Neill also received a telegram from Harry Staley. The latter was reminding the President that his (Staley's) advance money bad not appeared yet. Mr. O'N. pointed out that the delay of the money's arrival was oc casioned by tbe sickness of Treasurer Brown. The local magnates are now thoroughly of opinion that tbe Association is tottering to tbe ground. A special committee of that organiza tion will meet in Columbus to-day f.0 take pos session of all the books and documents held by deposed President Tbnrman. Von der Ahe is going to formulate a new constitution. The conjectures regarding the two telegrams referred to above brought out another rumor, and a very reliable one at that. It was to the effect that Sir Guy Hecker left tbe city last evening for Louisville to try and sign Pitcbers Stratton and Ebret. If be cannot secure both of these men, be will make an effort to sign Gastright, of Columbus. But it is understood tbat Sir Guy will have little trouble In captur ing Stratton. MADE AM0FOF HIM. Slavin Very Emphatically shows Charley Mitchell Where He Is Wrong. IBY DDSLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. London, Feb. 25. The story of tbe facts which led to the arrest of Frank P. Slavin and Charles Mitchell forms a curious pugills'ic episode. The summons was secured by the proprietor of the Arcadia Club, not the Gower Street Club, as bas been erroneously cabled, to which house the men, with a party of friends, adjourned after they bad been to the theater on Monday evening. The two pucilists have, for some time past, been great friends in spite of the fact that "Charley" Mitchell has been very free in declaring that he could easily best Slavin. In tirao the latter Joined in tbe discussion which became, as is invariably tbe case under such circumstances, very heated, and Mitchell repeated bis boast that Slavin conld not knock him out. Slavin at first treated the matter m a jocular spirit, but in tbe end he lost his temper and pushed Mitchell away with some degree of force. This seemed to rouse the blood of Mitchell, who made a rush at Slavin. but failed to hit him. Slavin replied with a bard one on bis assailant's neck which floored him. Mitchell rose and reached for a bottle to strike Slavin, bnt again the latter was too quick, and a second time Sullivan's former oppouent was floored. Ageneral melee then ensued, Mitchell using chairs and smashing tables in his efforts to do up Slavin, who practically mopped up tbe floor with the boaster, and finally tnrew him out of the front door, where he was hustled into a cab by his friends and driven home. He is now confined to his bed on ac count ot his injuries where he will have an op portunity of moralizing on the ways of the gentlemen who talk biz and console himself as well as he can by the thought that Slavin is un hurt. Tbe action by the club is brought to recover damages for Injuries sustained to the club fur niture. Mitchell is having a bad quarter of an hour as be is being very much guyed over tbe result of tbis fracas, and the sporting fra ternity of London is indulging in a hearty laugh at his expense. SOME SENSIBLE EEMABE3. Carroll Expresses Himself Interestingly About a Few Baseball Features. President O'Neill h'as received a very inter esting letter trom Fred Carroll. In it the big hitter speaks of his intentions and also about general affairs. Following is an extract from it: "1 shall start for, Pittsburg on March 20, ac companied by my wife. You can rest assured that I shall conduct myself in a far different manner than I have been in the habit of doing. "I shall not promise the kind of ball tbat I shMl play, but if I fail to como up to Mr. Han Ion's ideas it will not be because I do not take good care of myself. "I as pleased to learn tbat tbe Board of Control had awarded Bierbaner to Pittsbunr, for he will prove a first-class man for second, and tbat is what Pittsburg has not had in sev eral years: also that you have secured Fogarty. You bate the nucleus of a good team, and if we can get out at tbat ill-fated sixth position I see no reason why we can't make baseball a paying proposition in Pittsburg. "I was very sorry to seo in this morning's paper that the Association had deposed Presi dent Thnrman and withdrawn from the national agreement, as that raises new complications that will be bard to settle. But the Leagua will come oat oil top. for "tbey are the people." I have found Lbat out, although my efforts against tbe League were honest and above boaid." CLEVELAND CAPTTJEES ANOTHEB.

Tho local club expresses perfect willingness to test the Knauss matter with Columbus in the courts.

It is a stipula tion merely that be shall not sign with any clubs prior to April 1 and is not binding, it will De impossible for Baltimore to hold the man and bu will come here.

Smith's Friends Appeal to the Olympic Club for an Offer. John Q. Quinn. the well-known local sport ing man. is interesting himself in behalf of Ed. Smith, of Denver. Yesterday Mr. Quinn wrote the President of the Olympic Club, New Or leans, asking what amount of money the club would offer for a contest to a finish between Smith and Jim Hall, neither man to weigh heavier than 153 pounds. During a conversation yesterday Mr. Quinn said: "Smith bas fought more battles tban Fitzsimmons and Hall put together. Fltz simmons wonld not undertake to knock Johnny Cash out in four rounds, while Smith basal ready knocked Cash out in two rounds. Smith can easily get down to weight, and I don't see why Hall should decline to meet him. It would be a foolish notion if Hall bas come to America to fight Fitzsimmons ana nobody else."
