and Persecution Revived
in Germany.

For Speak-in Disparagingly of the
Emperor's Portrait,

Court Scandals, Involving Hish Karnes,
Finally Hushed Up.
DISSATISFIED WITH HIQOEIS FOLIC!
fBT DUKLAP'S CABLE COiirAIVT.
Berlin, March 15. Trials for hieh
treason, which for some time past have
happily not been heard of in German courts,
have reappeared under the Benevolent des
potism inaugurated by Emperor William,
and there is the same fine flavor oi espionage,
and blackmail about tbem as of yore. The
case ot Schmidt Tersus Vou Fummel is one
in point. The defendant is a respectabl-s
lidy, wife of a high placed omcial, and the
informer Schmidt is a discharged servant,
formerly in her employ. Schmidt deposed
that be heard Frau Pummel ruake use of a
disparaging expression while dusting a por
trait of the Kaiser.
Still Pushing the Prosecution.
The uutrustwortluness of the witness was
plainly proved at the trial, hut the prosecu
tion is being pushed on with as much rigor
and disregard for justice as if the safety ot
the realm depended upon the conviction and
incarceration of the defendant. It is more
than probable that the Emperor knows noth
ing about the affair and that the over-zealous
or spiteful disposition of some State's
Attorney or other is sponsible for the dis
graceful proceedings.
The court scandals involving the name of
the late Prince Frederick Charles as a dealer
in diplomas and orders of chivalry, which
were reported at length on February 16,
have been finally hushed up, and all the
charges against that scoundrel, Maurice
Keiter, who served as a catspaw in the
shady transaction of His Highne-s and the
court clique, have been dropped. One in
significant person is left to take his trial on
charges so irrelevant as to guarantee him an
easy escape.
are of an Acquittal.
His public trial is et down for 'Wednco
day next, when possibly a subordinate offi
cial of the Court .Marshal's office will be put
into the dock as an accomplice; but the in
dictment is so constiucted as to make a
speedy dismissal of the case, according to
law, necessary. This is only one of many
signs of important deviation from the new
course of which so much has been said in
laudation of the present reign.
Dr. Jliquel has heretolore been looted
upon as one of the principal exponents of
the new departure, and has -done his share
this week toward discrediting his and the
Kaiser's policy, by the unf.ur partiality he
lias displayed toward the 17 lordly Prussian
magnates, who are exempt by law irom tax
ation. Herr Jliquel has declared that the
magnates must not be asked to reiinquUh
their rights unless they receive a round sum
in compensation. The Liberal pailyarein
dignant at their old Democrat's cowardly
retreat, and they remind him that in his
farewell speech as Burgomeister of Frank
furth he promised to make it his business,
:is Secretary of the Treasury, to procure the
equalization of taxation at all hazards.
DEPOPULATED ACRES.
The Black Forest Country Denuded of Its
l'arms and Peasantry.
TBT DUXLAr'S CABLE COMPAXT."
Berlin, March 15. The Baden Govern
ment is losing its reputation as a model ad
ministration, and is makiug itself unpopu
lar bv its policy of buying up small farms
and thereby driving the settled Deasantry
into the cities to swell the mass of discon
tented workmen. The farmers ol the Black
Forest, who once measured their fortunes by
lhe size of their measure-heaps, as Mark
Twain picturesquely puts it, have greatly
diminished in number during the last two
years, and their acres are now to a
great extent covered with young trees,
planted bv the State. It is admit
ted that f.iir prices are given for the
holding, hut the ready cash thus suddenly
thrust into the pockets of people who never,
or yery seldom, were in the habit ol holding
the commodity, is in itself a misfortune. So
great has been tbedepopulation of the Black
Forest that no fewer than six peasantscho.ols
have had to be closed sincr the beginning of
the present year.
The State is now in treaty for the purchase
of the village of Fauldenherst, ne.ir Bern
dorff, which means that ISO well-to-do fami
lies will be scattered over the country to
find new habitations as best they may.
Business people in the neighborhood con
sider those villagers the most prosperous ot
their class in the country. Their only mis
fortune is that their homesteads happen to
be situated in a Government forest domain.
AMERICAN STATIONS.
German aal Authorities Charged TYitli
Kntirelj Neglecting Tliein for Africa.
tBY DCSLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.l
Bkrlin, March 15. The debates on the
navy estimates will be additionally inter
esting next week if, as expected, one of the
Iiiberal members assails the Marine De
partment for neglecting the East and West
American stations. The first has had the
benefit of the presence of a single cruiser
for the last four years, but this has now been
recalled, while the West American waters
have not had a glimpse of the German tiag
for five years, owing to the demands of the
African service.
The department will be told that Germany
maintains a saw for the protection of Ger
man trade all the worid over, and not in the
African wilderness alone, and if necessary
supply will be withheld until proper in
surances are given that the American sta
tions will be properly looked after iu tuture.

GULLIBLE GERMANS
liv-ing Made the Victims of Swindlers With
Confederate Greenbacks.
rT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.J
Berlin, March 15. Confederate green
backs are still highly valued in Germany,
it seems, since the international chevalier
in the industry is able to dispose of them in
large quantities among unsophisticated peo
ple who nik-lit know better. A noted Berlin
detective 'says that at least 100,000 marks
are raised imnually betwe:n .the Rhine and
the North Sea on those musty old notes of
hand.
A man was recently apprehended in Bel
gium paying his hotel bill with a 50 green
back. It was a ga'iie he had beeu playing
for years. Germans, especially of the mid
dle class, appear to attach an exaggerated
valne to the possession of notes of American
currency.
DENIAL FROM PARNELL
HE SA7S THE LATEST MRS. C'SEEA STOET
IS PURE FICTIOK.
His Duties in the House of Commons Not
Neglected for Her Criticism of the Op
posing Lender Pleased at His Dele
gates' Reception.
rmr dcklap's cable compakt.i
Galwat, March 15. Mr. Parnell was
interviewed to-day by a Dnnlap reporter.
At the same time he was shown a cablegram
telling of the enthusiastic reception accorded
his representatives in New York this morn
ing. Mr. Parnell said: "I am exceedingly
pleased at this testimony of American sym
pathy. I never, even in the most serious
phases of the crisis caused by Mr. Glad
stone's letter, had any reason to doubt the
soundness of the Irish-American opinion on
the great question of Ireland's right to
choose her own leader."
The reporter then called Mr. Parnell's at
tention to the sensational report published
ou Saturday and cabled back here, alleging
that he had absented himself from the
House cf Commons during the debate on
the Irish distress question Thursday night
in order to visit Mrs., O'Shea at Brighton.
Mr. Parnell replied to this: "The story is
pure fiction. There was nothing requiring
my presence in the House at that time. The
debate was a circumscribed one and no use
ful question could have been asked upon it.
The members of my party, who are acquaint
ed with the local details dealt with by the
Chief Secretary, were there and spoke. I
have not a sufficiently close acquaintance
with the localities to join in the discussion,
and what I could have said, if I were there,
was much better said by the representatives
of the divisions directly concerned."
Parnell then pointed out that McCarthy
took no part in the debate and that Sexton,
Healv and all his chief opponents were
likewise absent from the House on the night
in question. "That shows," Mr. Parnell
continued, "how ridiculous this charge is.
If my opponents could make any capital
against me by joining the debate they would
have done so. But of course there was no
room for them to do so. Yes, I wrote mv
manifesto on Thursday night, I was also
engaged during that night in attending to
urgent details connected with our campaign
in Ireland. The suggestion that I broke an
engagement I had at the .House is, as I told
you, a lie. This fanciful story I believe
emanated from the same source as did that
other false report of a fight between the two
sections of the Irish party during their sit
tiugs iu room 15. a report that, by the way,
resulted in an order being given excluding
its authors from the lobby of the House of
Commons hereafter."
COURTESY OF COMBATANTS
Emperor William Net er Had an Idea That
a Reconciliation Was Possible.
Paris, March 15. It was stated on the
highest authority that the German Gov
ernment drafted the long statement which
appeared in a dispatch published from the
London Times' Berlin correspondent, and
claiming to represent the Emperor's reason
for the Alsace-Lorraine decree. In
this dispatch, it will be remembered, Em
peror William was said to repudiate the
idea that he had been misinformed a; to the
statu of affairs caused by the Empress
Frederick's sojourn in Paris, saying that
th courtesy he sought to establish was
merely that of combatants politely bowing
before dossing swords, and that he never
had an- idea that reconciliation was pos
sible. But the Emperor is supposed to have
added, from the moment that his action was
interpreted as a sign of weakness by a hand
ful of howling dervishes who succeeded iu
making a whole nation giddy, it "was his
duty to reassert the dignity of the German
nation. "It was not the Emperor's business
to look into the motives of these outbursts,"
the Emperor is alleged to have said in con
clusion. A FRIEND OF THE NORTH,
Tho Djlng Prince the Strongest Intellect in
the Bonaparte Tainily.
Paris, March 15. Hon. J. Bigelow, ex
United States Minister to France, in an in
terview to-day, said that Prince Jerome
Napoleon, who is lying at the point of death
at Rome, was "a good friend of the North."
Mr. Bigelow added: "When the
Imperial Court was leaning toward the
South, Prince Jerome Napoleon exerted his
utmost influence in our favor, and opposed
,the Mexican expedition. Prince Napoleon
believed in the unal success ol tne JNorth.
I remember that when he was residing at the
Palais Itoyal the appointment of theFrench
Minister to Washington was announced.
"He is no iriend of yours," said Prince
Napoleon, addressing some of the members
of the diplomatic corps who had Southern
sympathies.
"The Prince's influence was greatly
weakened by his licentious habits, but un
doubtedlyihis was the strongest intellect of
the Bonaparte family Having the Prince
on mv side, greatly strengthened me in the
negotiations ending iu the collapse of the
Mexican enterprise."
BROKEN HEADS AT NEWBY.
The Police Called in to Protect an Antl
Parneil Gathering.
Dublin, March 15 At an anti-Par-nellite
meeting held at Newry to-day there
was a scene of great disorder, theParnellites
turning out in strong force and doing their
utmost to break up the meeting. The
disorder began when a series ot
resolutions denouncing Parnell in the
strongest terms was put to the meeting. The
resolutions were received by the Parnell
men with hoots and groans and several per
sonal encounters between opponents and
supporters o: Parnell took place in every
direction. The police were frequently com
pelled to interfere and undertake the work
of separating combatants, using their clubs
freely.
Rev. Father McOscar, administrator to
the Primate, preachine to-day, said, that he
had advised the Primate to refrain for the
present from taking issue with Mr. Parnell,
but that if the latter persisted in his present
course the sacrament would be refused to
his adherents.
TRADE WITH AMERICA.
Spain Has a Scheme of Her Own for a Treaty
of Commerce.
Madrid, March 15. The Ministers of
Foreign and Colonial Affairs have drafted
a scheme for a treaty of commerce with
America in response to the Washington
Government's proposals.
The scheme will be examined by Premier
Del Costillo before being presented to Mr.
Blaine. The Premier desires to expedite
the negotiations.
FRANCE MAY HOLD ALOOF.
If Demand Are Refused She Will Not Take
Part in the Fair.
Paris, March 15. The prompt appoint
ment by the Chamber of Deputies of a com
mittee to study the question of participation
in the Chicago Exhibition must not be in
terpreted as meaning that France is over
joyed at receiving the invitation and that
she will be represented at the World's Fair.
France's cordial aeceptance of the United
States' invitation only paves the way to a
demand which, if not conceeded, will per-
haps result in France's absence frorn Chi
cago. In an interview recently with a
prominent member of the committee, the
gentleman re! erred to said: "Unless the
Uuited, States Congress protects French
trade-marks tht Chamber js unlikely to
grant much money. The question of trade
marks will be a great obstacle to the suc
cess of the interests in France."
NEW CHILEAN WARS HIPS.
The French Government Will Not Allow
Them to Leave Toulon.
Pakis. March 15. The French Govern
ment has acceded to the recent requestof the
Chilean revolutionists, who asked that the
Chilean war ships just completed at Toulon,
and destined for the service of President
Balmaceda, should not be allowed to de
part. DEATH .OF WLNDTHORST.
A Memorable Letter From the Pope Prais
ing His Many Virtues.
Rome, March 15. The Pope on March 3,
sent to Dr. Windthorst the grand cross of
the Order of St. Gregory the Great, and yes
terday he sent a memorial letter praising the
piety, genius and virtues of the deceased
leader.
TIME FOR RETALIATION.
SECEETAEY BUSK SPEAKS HIS PIECE
AGAINST GEBMANY.
He Says We Have the Rest Meat Inspection
lair on Karth. anil That Discrimination
Against the American Hoe Must Cease
In Favor of Redress.
Washington. March -15. Secretary
Rusk was asked this evening what he
thought of the statement said to have been
made by Dr. Von Boetticher in the Reichs
tag on behalf of the German Government,
to the effect that the new sanitary measures
adopted in the United States were inade
quate and, therefore, that thj Government
did not intend to rescind the prohibition
placed upon tne importation of American
hog products. He replied:
"I can hardly believe that such a state
ment has been made, for it imparts wilful or
pretended ignorance of the legislation now
in force in this country providing for meat
inspection. The last meat inspection law
passed by Congress provides for
the most thorough and complete sys
tem of inspection possible, aud . it
will be more thoroush than that
now in force in any other country in the
world. Not only cattle and hogs must be
examined immediately prior to slaughter,
but I have the power to cause post mortem
examinations to be made, and in the case of
swine, a microscopic examination of all
hog products, and every precaution that
science can avail itself of to detect disease
will be adopted.
"The certificate issued by this Government
after such examination will guarantee that
the animal from which the product came
was free of disease. If an ante mortem ex
amination and a microscopic examination
after danth will not satisly the German Gov
ernment ot the purity o! our hog products,
then it is simply because they purposely
propose not to be satisfied with any
system of inspection. This Government
has long and patiently suffered the imputa
tion placed upon its meat products by for
eign natious to exist under cover of just
such pretexts as is said to have been made
by Dr. Von Boetticher, but the time has
about arrived when this unjust discrimina
tion of prohibition against out meat prod
ucts, and the false statements as to their
purity, as the excuse for such prohibition,
must cease.
"Such statements as are imputed to Dr.
Von Boetticher will no longer be permitted
to go unchallenged by this Government, and
such redress as the laws of this country per
mit to be had should, in my judgment, be
enforced."
A BOSTON MAN'S WILL.
It Is Found in an Old Pair of Trousers
Picked Up in New Tork.
SPECIAL TELEOHAM TO THB DISPATCH. 1
New York. March 15. Perry Ansorg
found an old black pair of trousers in One
Hundred aud Sixteenth street, near Third
avenue, and took them to the East
One Hundred and Twenty - sixth
street police station. He turned
them over to the police, because he had
found in the pockets the will of Michael
Donlon, of Boston, and a bill of sale to
Michael Donlon by the New England Trust
Company of a plot of ground on Carolina
avenue in a part of Boston which once was
West Rnxbnry.
Donlon paid $411 13 for the land. He
makes speci.il bequests amounting to about
$2,000 and leaves his residence on Franklin
place and a double dwelling hou'e on Wash
ington street to his wife, Ann. The instru
ment bears Michael Donlon'.s mark and the
stamp, "Registry of Probate, July 15, 1890."
The Register's signature looks like George
Foyal.
A DEMAND FOB LIGHT.
Even the Police on ltutler Street Object
to Darkness.
The citizens of the Eighteenth ward, who
reside along Butler street beyond Fifty-first
street, are in an indignant frame of mind at
present and there is considerable talk of
holding a meeting to give expression to
their feelings'. The cause of this indigna
tion is the lack of light iu that part of But
ler street beyond Fifty-first street. They
claim that Butler street below Filty-first is
well lighted by electric light, but that there
are no lights beyond Fifty-first street to the
Sharpsburg bridge.
The police in this unligbted district also
complain that it is almost impossible to
carefully watch their beats owing to the
absence of lights. There will be a meeting
Tuesday night to take action in the matter.

THE PARNELL ENVOYS
Received by the Welcoming Commit
tee Down New York Bay.
A FORMAL ADDRESS PRESENTED
To Which Mr. O'Kelly Eephes on Behalf
of the Delegates.
HE TALKS AT.LESGTH ON THE SITUATION
,'CrlClAL ULEnRAM TO THZ DtSPATCJIM
New York, March 15. The steamship
Etruria, having on board the Irish M. P.'s
who are delegates for Parnell, reached the
bar late on Saturday and dropped anchor
off Quarantine for the night. The committee
which had arranged to receive the envoys
went down the bay early this morning.
When the committee boat ran up along
side the Etruria the envoys were not yet on
deck. In response to loud calls, Mr. O'Con
nor soon made his appearance at the rail
and was greeted with three cheers. As soon
as possible Messrs. O'Kelly, Redmund and
Harrison were taken aboard the boat Dr.
O'Neill, for the special committee, presented
to the delegates the forma! address of wel
come. He said:
"We have heard of the secessionl from the
National ranks of those who preferred the
dictation of an English leader to the leader
ship of a fairly chosen, supremely well
equipped, tried and unpurchasable Irish
statesman. And we desire to say that in
your representative capacity you are welcome
to the affection of our hearts, the hospitality
of our homes, and all the resources we can
influence or command."
A Response of Thanks.
In response to this address, Mr. O'Keliy,
for the delegates, thanked thecommittee
for their cordial .welcome. Continuing, he
said: "The question in Ireland is not a per
sonal question. It is the old contention of
the nght of Irishmen to rule in their own
land in their own way. The men who are
responsible for the present dissensions have
sheltered themselves behind other issues.
We have come here to explain the true
issue. If we can explain to you fully the
dangers of the situation and the benefits of
your support, the struggle in Ireland will
be short aud decisive."
When seen later in the day, the state
ments which Mr. O'Kelly proceeded to
make proved startlingly different Irom much
of what had beeu received by cable. No
McCarthy meetings are held "in the large
centers, he said; they are held only in out-of-the-way
places and inside of chapels and
other buildings. The opposition to Parnell
in most of Ireland is very slight.
What there is is in the smaller
districts and much of it is due to local
causes. There was always some opposition
to Parnell, although Ireland, as a whole,
was overwhelmingly in his favor, and there
is little more opposition to him now than
there has been. Some who formerly stood
aloof are now numbered among his follow
ers and there are enough of such to take the
places of all who have abandoned bis cause.
Effect of Ecclesiastical Thunder.
When asked as to the effect of the attitude
of the priests, Mr. O'Kelly said that the
ecclesiastical thunders, "had only had effeat
on old men, who arc preparing for the next
world." Iu a general election," he con
tinued, "the McCarthy party will lose
nearly every seat which it at present con
trols, aud will practically disappear. It
will be swept out of the country."
When asked about the Paris resprve fund,
Mr. O'Kelly said it was composed of money
raised largely through Parnell aud intended
to be absolutely under his control. By his
appointing McCarthy a trustee, however,
he had " blocked its use for the po
litical purposes for which it was
intended the expenses of a general
election, as neither he nor McCarthy would
permit the other to get the benefit of it.
Rather than have it lie idle, Mr. Parnell
was willing to have it distributed, under
proper safeguards, among the sufferers from
eviction, but his propositions to have this
distribution made by a committee composed
of one of each side had not beeu accepted.
The Parnellites will hold a meeting in
the Cooper Union on Monday night They
may quit the city at the end ot the week,
but will continue to consider it their head
quarters. They will have to divide up in
order to meet their various country encage
ments. They expect to visit nearly all the
larger cities in this country and Canada.
They will probably spend the entire summer
here.
THE CONNECTICUT MUDDLE.
Honse Republicans Have a Programme of
Action Arranged.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Hartford, March 15. Chairman Ben
ton, of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, said late to-day that the House
would pass the Judson bill Tues
day and then send it to the Sen
ate, alter which they would take
a recess for two weeks. He had no faith
that the Senate would concur in the Judson
bill, which con'ers upon the Superior Court
the power to decide who is Governor of Con
necticut, but he had a faint hope that such
might be the action of the Senate. If, during
the two weeks' recess, the House will take
on Tuesday, the Senate does not accept the
Judson bill, or some other practically simi
lar method of settlement, lhe House will
pass all bills which seem to be necessary
and will adjourn sine die.
Inquiry among most of the Democratic
Senators, who are in the majority, indicates
that the Judson bill wili be rejected. The
Senate will adhere to the original deter
mination to do nothinc until all the Demo
cratic. State officers are seated. Should the
Legislature adjourn without filling any of
the many vacancies in the several civil and
criminal courts of the State the greatest
confusion will ensue.
A WEDDING MAEEED.
The Groom Charged With Bigamy Flies
From tho .Marriage Supper.
Ottawa, March 15. Fred W. Hall, of
Clevelaud, O., and Mi.s Katie Warren, of
this eity, were married here last night.
After the ceremony the bride and groom
and invited guests sat down to a wedding
supper in the home of the bride's father.
The merriment had reached its mil sway
when a friend of the young lady beckoned
to the groom to come to the door of the
room. Hall immediately grew white and
replied nervously:
"Is it me you.want,?"
Hall went out, and was then and there
charged with having a'wife and family in
England. After some hesitation, Hall ad
mitted that he had been married, but
claimed that he had been divorced from his
wife. The matter becoming known, the
greatest excitement prevailed, and iu the
midst of it, after the newly-made bride had
given back the wedding ring, .Hall disap
peared and has not since been seen. It is
supposed that he left for Cleveland on the
night train. Steps will at once be taken to
have the marriag; annulled.

A VERY BITTEE FEELING
Among the Sons of Italy Resident in Kansas
City.
Kansas City, March 15. There was
considerable excitement here to-day in
Italian quarters. Large numbers of Italians
gathered during the day at the office of the
Italian Consul, where they had translated
to them the newspaper accounts of the New
Orleans tragedy. They were bitter in their
denunciation of the affair.
Consul Jerome Fedeli received several
telegrams, one from the Consul at New
Orleans, the contents of which he declined
to reveal, and one from Carlo Barsotti, New
York, editor of II Progresso Halo Ameri
cano, asking for a statement of the leeling
among Italians and Americans regarding
the tragedy. He replied that the Italians
were a unit iu demanding that the Italian
Government take immediate cognizance of
the affair, and that the American Govern
ment be made to make suitable reparation.
CAPITALISTIC ANARCHISM.
That Is What the Chicago Socialists Term
the New Orleans Outbreak.
CHICAGO, March 15. At the meeting of
the Trades and Labor Assembly this after
noon Tommy Morgan, Socialist candidate
for Mayor, offered a resolution, which,
after being discussed for three hours,
was finally adopted. The pre
amble recites that laws have been
enacted for the most severe punishment lor
all acts of violence committed by Outraged
labor, and whereas yesterday in the city of
New Orleans prominent professional, busi
ness and public men, openly and deliber
ately organized a mob around tbem, and
with their co-operation murdered 11 un
armed defenseless prisoners in the jail of
that city, therefore be it
Resolved, That this body demands that the
same principles and laws that have been strict
ly enforced on the working people be now en
forced on these murdeiers, for the reason1 that
if capitalistic anarchism he not prevented by
the severest punishment, the ruling class in
tilts case wilt practically ue a Dove tne law. ana
the discontented laboring classes subjected to
some kind of capitalistic anarchism.
THE HOOT OF 1HE EVIL.
The London News Thinks Corruption Is at
the Bottom of It All.
London, March 15. The News com
menting on the lynchins of the Italians at
New Orleans, says:
Italy's indignation is shared by the whole
civilized wurrd. In nearly all such cases in
America the disease, corruntion, is at the root
of the evil. The Americans are at once tho
most patient and the most impatient of people
in the world. When tt.ey have grown tired of
any grievance they move to their revenge with
the swiftness of a hawk. The people of New
Orleans could hare soon discovered whicn of

BETTING ON HIS LIFE.
An Instance Showing the Extent to Which
Gambling Will Carry a 3lan.
A few years ago a shooting occurred in a
Los "Vegas saloon. One man got three bul
lets iu his body and lay groaning on the
floor. One glance showed that his moments
were numbered."
His 'breath came in quick, convulsive
gasps, and at times he moaned with pain, as
a friend bent over him aud endeavored to
stauch the wounds.
Gambling was at its height in Los Vegas
at this time, and in the midst of this scene a
gambler spranc upon a faro table and
shouted: "I'll bet $50 to $40 that man dies
within five minutes." No one responded,
but the offer drew no remonstrance from the
crowd.
THE LATEST IN ADVERTISING.
English People Deluged With Recom
mendations on Postal Cards.
A new method of advertising is being ten
tatively adopted in England. It would
seem to consist in sending post cards recom
mending a particular play, book or picture,
and as this recommendation is pretty likely
to meet not only the eye ot the person to
whom it is addressed, but also those of the
postman and servant, through whose hands
it passes, the scheme seems likely to prove
a successful one.
A centleman writes to the Times to say
that he has received the following letter:
"Do go to the Theater; 'both
plays are most excellent and entertaining.

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
Messrs. McLaughlin, Burris and Cline,
the Philadelphia billiard players, arrived
at the Monougahela House yesterday niorn
ine, and are all in fine form to participate
in the billiard tournament, which begins in
the Central Rink this evening. It had been
expected that the first same would he played
this afternoon, but so miny alterations are
to be made iu the interior of the rink that
the work will not be finished until supper
time. Tne tournament, therefore, will not
start until 8 o'clock this evening, when
Messrs. Cline, of Philadelphia, and Bushart, of
Pittsbnrg, will be the contestants.
The three visitors are excellent gentlemen.
None of them have played in this city before,
but they all have heard abunt the popularity of
the game in Pittsburg. During a conversation
Champion McLaughlin said: "Mr. Schaefer
told me recently in Chicago that Pittsburg is a
fine city for a billiard player to visit and I won't
be surprised if there is a national or interna
tional tournament here before this year passes
by. Of course, billiard playing is becoming
more popular all over the country, but it is
becoming very much so in Pittsburg. The
recent Chicago toumament was a good one and
Carter played exiremely well."
"Do you think lTe3 can defeat Carter?" was
asked.
"Well, that is not a very nice question for
me to answer. They are both great players.
Sometimes Carter's playing cannot be beaten,
and sometimes he plays very, very badly. Ives
is a regular player and a brilliant one. lam
not prepared to say who is the better man be
tween them. But 1 would like to see a tourna
ment in which Ives, Carter, Schaefer and SIos-
son iook part, mat would be a great event."
Regarding the local tournament, ilr. Mc
Laughlin said: "I think the tournament will be
a success, as ucare all in good form, and eacb
of us, of course, wants to win. The 14-inch balk
line is a great game and tests one's skill. But I
have found that the atmosphere has much to
do with the quality of the playing. If the at
mosphere is very changeable the play will be
bad, and If the atmosphere is gcoa and steady
in ore win De some good waving."
Messrs, Burns and Cline" stated they were
Dleased to visit Pittsburg, as they had heard so
much about it. They expect the tourney will
be a great one. Burris is quite young and is
looked upon as a coming star among the ex
perts of the cne.
Mr. Meyers has decided to only announce the
names of tho contestants for lhe current day.
that is, the players who will compete against
each other to-morrow will be announced in to
morrow's paper, and so on during the week.
Tne game this evening is expected to be an en
tertaining one as it wilt be Pittsburg against
Philadelphia. It is only fair to state that Mr.
Bushart, the local man, has not had as much
practice at the game as be ought to have bad,
and the same may be said of Mr. Walker. Mr.
Lew Shaw, of Cleveland, will be referee, and
Mrs. Shaw, the famous lady billiardist, will
also be present at the contest. During the
week Mr. McLaucIuin will likely practice at
the Davis' billiard rooms.
JAKE MEANS BUSINESS.
The Champion Billiard Player Talks Very
Plainly to George Slosson.
Cincinnati, March 15. Jake Schaefer, tbe
champion billiardist, has authorized the follow
ing statements :
That he will go to New York to play Slosson
for the championship of the world provided
S250 are allowed for expenses. That if Slosson
is unwiliiug to allow expenses, Schaefer will go
to New York and play Slosson a match game
for from 1,000 to 55,000, the winner to take
everything and pay all expenses. That ho will
also play in a tournament, provided that there
are no less than four entries, (250 to be the en
trance fee, the winner to take as a prize, besides
all the money, the emblem representing the
championship of the world which Schaefer now
bolus. That be has deposited 100 forfeit with
the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender Company to
make a match for Frank Ives to play Slosson a
11-inch balk line g.tnie, "mm 500 to SOB points,
for 500 a side, the same to take place in New
York within from :!0 to CO days.
M'ALEEE'S M0VEMENTT3.
Reasons Why He Goes to Cleveland Instead
of to St. Louis.
'.SPECIAL TELEGIlAii TO THE DISFATCII.1
Youngstown, March 15. By reason of cer
tain matters transpiring the past week the fact
of Jtiumie McAleer, the center fielder, signing
with tbe Cleveland League club last night oc
casions little surprise. While with the Cleve
land Players' last season he signed a personal
contract with Al Johnson for three years.
When Johnson purchased the Cincinnati club,
McAleer ihought It proper that he should go
into the Association and lie went to Pittsburg
and signed a St. Louis contract.
When Johnson retired from the business Mc
Aleer concluded that this released him and
oo wiote Von der Alie, and then went to Cleve
land and signed with tho League. He is iu ex
cellent conditiDn, having taken tbe best of care
of himself during the winter.
Old Sport Gnlvln.
Various minors are current to the effect that
"Old Sport" Galvin is to be released by the
local club. If a recent statement made by
President O'Neill is to be bolieved there is no
truth in the rumors. A few days ago Mr.
O'Neill stated emphatically that Ualvln would
be on tbe team. If any of tho officials are de
sirous of getting rid of Jimmy they should re
member that he is one of the mostponular
players in Pittsburg. It is also reasonable to
expect that the "young man" will be quite
able to hold his own during the season. But It
is almost time that something was being dono
toward getting a local team arranged.
Menkin's Body to Bo Sent Home.
Yesterday a son of Charles J. Menkin, who
died on Saturday at tho Red Lion Hotel, ar
rived in the city to take charge of the remains
of bis father. The body of tbe decoased will
be shipped to-day by Funeral Director George
A Smith to Cleveland, O., for Interment, and
tho expense will bo borne by the Duquesnc
Kennel Club, of this city, Mr. Menkin having
come here to exhibit his dogs at their show.
