u k I GEAYE DIFFICULTIES L001I UP. League AUornevs State That Kessrs. Trince and Wagner HaTe Some Terj Solid Claims. PliAIEUS EEPOET1XG FOR DUTI. Gccd Frct;tcti fa Ltcil Stooiiug Huiicipt Gtnin Epcrtirg News of the Day. Baseball matters in Cincinnati are not in good shace by any meaus, and it is proba ble tbat tbere Yfiil be lots of trouble there before anything is put in apple-pie order. The situation has been one so complicated tbat President J. Palmer O'Seil, who rep resents the National League in Cincinnati, yesterday afternoon wired President X. E. Toun at "Washington, requesting him to call a special meeting of the League, to be held in Cincinnati Friday next, to have the matter thoroughly discussed. The truth is there have been gross misrepresentations made by some people regarding their claims in Cincinnati and as a result it is now quite ap parent that Al. Johnson his not by any means such an absolute control of the Cincinnati club as he represented to Mr. O'Neil. The latter jesterday afternoon made the fol lowing ny significant statement: "I have justrrceiveda tery important letter from the League attorneys in Cincinnati which makes matters look quite mixed ud In tbat city of hams and lute ball troubles. Our attorneys tell me that they have seen papers which con vince them that Al Johnson had no right what ever to sell the interests of Messrs. Prince aid 'Wagner to the Leagne without first ronsuHinc the two gentlemen named, sir. Pi nice has advanced S1.WX) and ilr. Wagner about i 1.500 in the interest of the club and its grounds. Altocether their joint interests in Jhe rlu'.i amount to more tban SI 3. 000. and our at tnrneys point out that Mr. Johnson could cer- talnlr not sell ont tne ciUDWiinournrai seiiiin: the rlMms ot these two gentlemen. In other words, there his been gross misrepresentation made to us by raebody, and the matter will be probed tliorouculy." Lncal baseball authorities who are interested In the matter argue that Johnson must have known of the valid claims of Messrs. Wagner and Pnnce all along. At any rate there will probably be a lively time before the matter is fixed up. Johnson has not jet received a cent Irom the League. He has a drat' on Pieriticnt Yountr, but its payment has been stopped until the difficulty is cleared up. One tbirg is certain, judging from the letter of the League's Cincinnati attorneys, and that is thai the League cannot get the regular ball rroumls at Cincinnati until Messrs. Wagner and Prince are settled with. Duringtbe last few days another matter or importance has been discovered. After the deal with Johnson was made by Mr. O'ffeil the latter wired President Youns for a League franclnso for tne club. President Yonng wired the oi her clubs, and soon discovered that the franchise bad been granted to Mr. Brush, notwithstanding the many reports to tbe contrary. Mr. u'Ncil had then to open negotiations with Mr. Bruh who had ground all eady secured Mr. Brush was qmte willing to join with Mr. O'Keil and go ahead, but both gentlemen were at a loss to know what crounds to begin and get in condition owing to the claims of Messrs Wagner and Prince. This was another cause for a special meeting of the League. It could not be learned last evening whether or not a special meeting will be called, hut President O'Keil claims that tbe business is of sneb an important kind that it cannot be settled by telegraph.

A highly colored story has been sent over the country from Can ton and Alliance, which professes to give the heretofore untold inside history of tho reason why ex-President Cleveland declined to assist in the defeat of McKinley last November, by lending bis presence and delivering a few speeches in the distner. Tbe pith of the story is that Cleveland Ignored all the pres sure brought to bear upon him to come, and finally, in answer to an appeal from Governor Warwick, telegraphed that if Warwick would guarantee that he would have at least 2.0U0 majority in tho district he would come, but he could not afford to injure his prestige by coming if the Democratic ma jority was likely to be materially reduced. Governor Hill was then importuned and re sponded by makinc speeches at Canton, this city and Millersburg, and upon Warwick's election by 300 he wired Hill, thanking him for the result.

THE G0VERH0B OF LOUISIANA SENDS HIS BEPLY TO THE SECBETABT. He Is Satisfied That Most of the Men Killed Were Mainly Citizens of America Na tionality Had Nothing to Do With the Action of the Mob Who Broke Open the Jail. Washington, March 24. Secretary Blaine this morning received a letter irom Governor Nicliolls, of Louisiana, in regard to the recent killing ot the 11 Italians in the jail at New Orleans, of which the following is a copy: "Executive Department, state of louisiana. Baton Rouoe, March 21, 1SDL "Hon. James G. Blaine, secretary of btate, Washington, D. C: "Sir At a late hour on tbe loth inst., I re ceived a dispatch from you having reference to the forciblo breaking, on the 14th of this month, of the jail of this city, and tbe killing of 11 persons confined therein under indict ments found in the Criminal District Court for the parish of Orleans. "You stated to me that It had been repre sented to the President by the Minister of Italy accredited to the United States, that among the killed ou that occasion were three or four snbj-cts of the King of Italy. The telegram disclosed an apprehension ou the part of the Minister, evidently shared by tbe Presi dent, that the disturbance was a continuous and swelling disturbance, which might involve the Italian subjects in Now Orleans. "I have reason to believe that the hope ex pressed by the President, that I would co operate with him in maintaining tbe obliga tions nf tbe United States toward the Italian subjects, who might be within the perils of tbe excitement, and that further violence and bloodshed might be prevented, was based upon that belief. The President further expressed tbe hope that all offenders might be promtly brought to justice. ' -On the 16th inst. I telegraphed you that there was no excitement in tbe city at that time, and tbat 1 saw no reason to anticipate further trouble. I also stated that the action taken was directed against particular indi viduals, and that tbe race or nationality of the parties did not enter as a factor into tbe dis turbance. A week bas passed since the date of my last dispatch, and the opinion then enter tained as to the termination of the trouble bas proved to have been "ell founded. The men killed, as I have stated, were confined in prison, under indictments found in-tbe Criminal Dis trict Court for the parish of Orleans; the Sheriff has made his return of the facts to that Court; tho Judge thereof has charged the grand jury, now in session, in regard to tbe matter, and the whole sublect Is, I assume, now under investigation by that body. "I am satisfied that most of the persons killed were American citizens, but It is prob able that twb or three were Italian subjects. "I have the honor to be. very respectfulls", "Francis T. Nicholls, Governor." Governor Nicholls' letter is written on official paper, and dated at the capital of the State. It i& evident, however, that it was written in New Orleans, as it speaks of tbe killing as having occurred at the jail in "thl3" (that) "city." Secretary Blaine bas sent a copy of the letter to Baron Fava, tbe Italian Minister. The Department of State will not take fur ther action iu the matter of the New Orleans tragedy until tbe Italian minister makes some further communication upon tbe sub ject. He bas cabled tbe substance of Gov ernor Nicholl's letter to his Government, and tiie impression at the State department is tbat he will await the action of the New Orleans courts before making further repre sentations to the'State. THKEE SMALL FLBES. Colored Families at Shady Lane Burned Out, and a Small Blaze at Shoenberger's. Several small fires occurred yesterday.
