''Trnth taF Jeems Mntne anil his Giants arrived in theciry yesterday morning and were eager tn tackle our sluggers, but they were de Iirived of the pleasure of victory or the pain of defeat. Manager Mutrie regretted the mji very much and remarked: "Our hoys oro playing great ball just now, and a team :imst do great things to heat them." The genial manager proceeded to deliver Mmself on the subject of a baseball team Manager's trials and tribulations. and he lore lie concluded his speech had said some very interesting things. He said: "1 have been inxny years m tho business and have !md Jotsof experience, and I have come to Slip conclusion that tiio public have no idea wliatever of A Manager's DHHrultics. "Almost every !av no s blamed for some thins that lie has nothing whatever to do Willi. For instance, some time ago our Scam was playing another League team ait New York. The score was 5 to S Cn our lavor in the ninth inning siml tho other fellows had two men out. The third man knocked an easy grounder to shortstop and the ball was thrown splendidly to Connor at first. But Connor let the ball drop in the simplest way. and as a result the t-core was tied and In the eleventh inning we were beaten. After the game I found myself in the com pany ol"oiue gentlemen who did not know jnc'niiil one ol tlinn addressing himself to jne said: 'That man Mutrie is no more lit to tannage a lall team than a monkey is to bo President t the country. He cannot got the work onto! the men. Just look at Con nor's error to-day. Itut I suppose both Mutrie and the players won about S1.00J on tile affair." Vm see.'that'shou it goes. Weil. 1 hadn't anything to do with Con nor's, error. It was just one of the-e mis takes that will occur nomatter what is done. In tcores ol" ways a manager has to shoulder charges with winch he has nothing to do. lint 1 do hold that a manager of a ball team should Ilac Sole Control. "Ifhc lias not he is not likely to get along Jill right with his men. 3Iany of our direct ors don't know our players when they sco llicm. Why, I don't think tliat Mr. Da', our President, has been among the players more Iban twice this year. Not longago lhad occasion to fine r. player and he appealed to Sir. Ifcv . The latter promptly said mat tne nl v fault ho had to lind was that Mr. Mutrie Imil not made the tine big enough. The playervvas promptly told that the line must fctand except the manager choose to re voke it. "Now a manager must be treated in this way if he is to succeed- I know it from ex perience. When a mantiger is- chief the players respect him and look to him lor i-wrything. Ball players, as a rule, aro pietty cute fellows, anil they soon see where and how they can take liberties. Hut be yond all it is only fair to a manager to give Miu sufficient power to keep his men un (lurcoiitrol. When he is clothed witli that power lie can be held rcionsible: when lie is not then it is difficult toliold anybody re sponsible for any shortcomings that may ex ist in the team." Some Very Wise Advice. Certainly the above remarks of Mr. Mutrie arc worthy of consideration by the gentle men interested in the local team. The re marks contain suggestions that can be util ized to a very great advantage, because they tire words of wisdom. In speaking of general baseball Manager Jlutrie says that the Cincinnati team are playing a great game and that luck favored thcGiants when in that citv. Mr. Mutrie is conlide.nr that hi- team will win the pennant because Ulasscoi'k will probably be able to resume play to-day. Wnistler has been do ing well, but he is not a Gin cock. John Ewing and Buckley will be the battery for the Giants to-day and Baldwin and Berger "will bo the home battery. KHOCKED OUT AGAIN. JVnson and His Young Men Suffer Another Defeat li tliejI'liHIU'-.

Wasuixotox, July 7. Tho following notice was issued to-day: "The order issued by me, as Chairman of the National Baseball Board on June IS, was for the future and not intended to bo retro active. While the transactions which caused the issuance of tho order took placo prior to the date thereof, yet the operation of the order could only relate to the future; that is, from and after tho sale thereof, and all interested parties might be advised and warned bv the penalty to be incurred in event of any infraction' or disobedience of the onlc,r. It was not my intention, nor do I consider 1 had the authority, to thus pnn ish anv one whose overt act occurred prior to the" issuance of the order. In this pur view I have given tiie players who were named in the order as having violated their contracts ten days in which to return to their respective clubs or else be held amen able to the order. N. E. Yorxc, Chairman National Board. Upcoming Yery Kxciting. fSrEOAL T1XKUUAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. l.niK, July 7. Tho contest between the Bradford and Erie ball clubs in the Pennsyl vania and New York League is becoming very exciting. There has been a battle for the supremacy from the first, and although Erie had the lead at the start they dropped to third place within two weeks but soon rose again to first place, and lost it to Brad font in a dav or so. Yesterday tho leaders tied at Erfc and to-day the Eries lead the Bradford, winning CO of the 41 games nlayed this season. To-morrow's game will he very exciting and half of the city will probably turn out to witness it. THE RACING KECORD. Object of the Temporary Reinstatement or C. If. kelson and His Horse Said to De a Move of the Anti-Amalgamation Party A Setback for the Unionists. Chicago, July 7. The temporary reinstate ment of C. II. Nelson and his horse, Nelson, 2:10?4, turns out to be a move by the anti amalgamation party iu the American Asso ciation to defeat the plan of union with the Natioual Trotting Association. President I). C. Beamau, of Denver, of the American Trotting Association, no doubt acted after consultation ith 1). J. Campau. of Detroit, the man whodid more than all others to lead the righteous break from the National As sociation and founding of the American As sociation during tlie trouble over Secretary Tom Vail four years ago. Mr. Campau's paper, the Horseman, has not favored amalgamation. Neither did It in dorse J. II. Stemer'saeceplance of the Amer ican Trotting Kegistrarship. About Mr. steiner the amalgamationists built their I dans, still possible to bo carried out at the lienniiil congress in New York in February, IKK. But tilings will not go so smoothly as was anticipated. Certainly the National Trotting Associa tion will not feel so kindly toward its rival alter tlie direct blow delivered through Nel son's temporary reinstatement. President Beaman's action turns over all the plans made by the American Association union party, of which W. P. Ijams, of Terre Haute, is the leader. It was u shrewd move, and. Nelson profited by it only because ho was the available utensil for the anti-amalgamation politicians to use. President Beaman twisted trotting law to act as he has iu the Nelson ease, and his last decision does not fit in with his letter of April (i, in which he declares that under sec tion 71 of the American Association's bylaws Nelson, being expelled for fraud bv the Na tional Association, was disqualified from coiupciiiig oil -vuiencau .Lssuciauuu irucKS. The situation is clear and it can be set down as certain that the association union ists have received a setback from which they will find it hard to recover. A break in the American Association may come, but the chances are that such will not be the cascund that the two trotting associations will go on and do business as iu the past. Mr. steiner, secretary of the American Trotting Association and Iiegistnir of the American llcgister Association, however, is likely to step out of one of his two offices, probably that of Secretary. Meanwhile, Nelson can trot his horse iu the West, and the defeated unionists oan accept their de feat wftli grace or gather their lorces for a fight. It is certain that they havebceu clearly outgeueralcd. GOOD DAY AT LIMA. The Trotters Slake Pine Sport and Splau's Horse Wins a ICace. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Lima, July 7.

Governor Campbell un questionably has a majority of tho delegates so far selected to the Democratic State Con vention, and tho feeling that L. T. Neal's namo will not go before tho convention is growing. It is admitted by many of tho hit ter's supporters that he has nopossiblc show of a nomination, and the impression is that it will not bo his desire simply to stand be fore the convention for the sake of an over whelming defeat. The withdrawal of Mr. Neal, however, is not likely to end the contest, as tlieStlainil ton county opponents of Cvernor Camp bell and a few of the more enthusiastic friends of the Chlllicotho statesman aro al ready laying their plans for a compromise candidate. Thoy arc preparing for the "Hash" of the Neal candidacy and oxpect to create a stampede after the delegates arrive in Cleveland. It is pretty well understood they have set tled upon John A. McMahon, ot Dayton, as - the compromise candidate. The argument to bo advanced is that neither Governor Campbell nor Neal can unite the party and make success reasonably certain. A Seductive View of the Case. This is a rather seductive presentation of tho case, and the Hamilton county contin gent hope to create a regular stampede, thereby throwing a majority of the delegates to their compromise candidate. The indi cations are thatMoMahon has been apprised or tho proposed new dflal, audit is not im probably that ho hasjtiven his content to the use of his name. This is evidenced by tiic following telegram sout in reply to one asking' him if.be was in the raee as a com promise candidate: DATTOjf, July 7. Could not answer your question without being guilty of a gross indelieaiy on my judgment, no matter how answered. Pleaso excuse me for declining. J. A. JIcMahox. In any event it is difficult to seo how Mr. Neal is to be benefited, although there is an effort to revive the proposition to indorse him for United States Senator. Neal Has Seriously Injured His Clranccs. Some of those who wore at tho Dayton Convention two years ago, among tho stanchest supporters of Mr. Neal, and who now look at the situation from an un prejudiced standpoint.admit he has seriously injured himself politically, because of his position in the present contest. Many of them have little hopes of being able to secure an indorsement for him. Recently there has been a strong under-current in favor of tlie indorsement proposition, but tho indications now point to John Q. Smith, of Clinton, as the beneficiary' in the event of favorable action by the convention. Mr. Smith is a practical as well as a theo retical farmer, and occupies advanced ground ou the "tariff reform" idea. lie is an ex-member of Congress, was a candidate in opposition to Mr. Doan in the Tenth district last year, and greatly reduced the majority against him. He is a ready debater, anil able to discuss the tariff issue with his opponents. On these grounds his friends urge that his Indorsement would draw heavily from the l'armervote, insuring a ma jority iu the Legislature independent of Hamilton county. It is understood Governor Campbell's sup porters arc very friendly to Mr. Smith, and the impression is becoming quite general that ho is to be re-cognized in the con vention, either by a senatorial indorsement or a prominent placo on the State ticket. THEY WILL NOT C0HEINE. Attempts of Democratic Leaders in Kansas Are a Failure. TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. TorEKA, K ax., July 7. Tho attempts made by the Democratic leaders in this State to form a combination with the People's party in the county elections this fall have re mitted in failure. The proposed combination on all county offices was the initial step in forming a joint electoral ticket for 1892. The Alliance Advocate, the official organ of the Alliance, in its issuo to-day, pub lishes a statement giving the reasons why tne Alliance leaders have rejected tho prop osition. Tho Democrats united with tho People's party last fall in 70 Legislative dis tricts thereby securingthe defeat of Senator IngalN, and "supported the Alliance candi dates for Congress in four districts. The House of Representatives last winter refused to recogni.c the claim of the Demo crats for any offices ana the leaders in the party, at a meeting held last mouth in Kan sas City, Kan., served notice that unless some division of offices was made the Alli ance could expect no further support from' Democratic voters. Senator Feller, P. P. Elder, Speaker of tho last House; Jerry Simpson and Frank McGrath. President of the State Alliance, opposed any concessions to the Democrats whatever, and to-day's an nouncement is the result. Tlie Democrats acted last fall upon the instructions of Cal vin S. Brice. who advised them to form anv combinations which would result iu tho de feat of the Republican party. NO PE0SPECT OF C0MPE0MISE, A Congressman's Opinion of the Fight for the League Presidency. ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, July 7. According to Con gressman "Jack"1 Robinson there is no pros pect of a compromise in the fight for the Presidency of the Republican State League of Clubs. The Media candidate for that hon or stated to-day that he would not listen to anj- proposition looking to his withdrawal in favor of anyone. The compromise plan originated in tho western portion of thcState and had in view the withdrawal of both Robinson and Con gressman John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, whose hitter contest for the highest office within the gift of the League, has engendered much bad blood in the organization and the Re publican party generally throughout tho state. In the opinion of many leading Re publican club members In this city and other parts of the State the fight between Robinson and Dalzell will, if carried on, re sult in the total wreck of the Republican State League. SHOT HEE IN THE ANKLE. Southsldc Officers Disposed to Doubt a Story of Accidental Shooting. A mysterious shooting affray occurred at South Thirteenth and Sarah streets shortly after 9 o'clock last evening. A little girl ran to Officer Smith and told him a woman had been shot. Alter some search he discovered her at tho house ol a family named Wasscr-' man. Her right leg was shattered at the ankle. She said sho did not know how she came to bo injured, but that Jacob Franz was with her at the time. Franz in the meuntiniohadgono in search of a physician, but retumod.sayinghowasunablo to Undone Officer Smith then placed Franz under ar rest. At "the station he at first claimed not to know anything about the shooting. Tho woman said her name was Ida James and -her husband's namo was John James, lie resided near tho head of Eighth' street. She said sho and Franz were taking a walk, and that ho wanted to pawn his revolver and sho asked him for it, saying that he might hurt some one. lie replied that it was not loaded. He snapped it and it went off. Tho bullet struck her in the leg. At tho station Captain Stewart again questioned Franz, and finally produced tho revolver. Franz then con fessed that he did tho shooting, and told substantially tho same story as tho woman. Franz will be held over to-day for a further investigation, as thero were several wit nesses to the shooting. DID NOT BEMAIN SINGLE LONG.

English papers lust to hand publish some interesting statistics of the expenditure in connection with the plan of campaign in Ireland. Tho Times says: "The amount of money collected for tho 'plan' in Ireland was 80,000; in Australia, 33,000; and from other sources, 10,C00, making a total of 120,000. On the other hand, the expendi ture was: For law expenses, 17,000; build ing and other expenses in New Tippcrary, 40.000: and sundry other expenses. 3.000; total, 90,000. A sum of 3,000 is put down as 'missing,' and cannot bo accounted for. A receipt lor tho amount is in the hands of the trustees, but tho gentleman whose name is appended to it declares it to bo a forgery. Tho balance, therefore, of 27,000, after de ducting the 3,000 described us 'missing,' is the amount received by the tenants, less again a sum of 300 per annum, which Is stated to be paid under tho 'plan' to the holder of a large 'campaign' farm." Tho tenants, it would seem, worolucky to get even 20,700 out of tho 120.000, but it would be interesting to know whether tho donors arc satisfiod with the disposition made of their money. It is said that, even if the Paris funds wore at onco released by Messrs. McCarthy and Pnrnell, they would not be sufficient to maintain the "plan" for nine months longer. . THEY W0ESHIP A LOG. A Tree Trunk on Which the Insects of China Never Alight. Chicago Times. Thero is a log of yellowish colored wood standing just outside of Ch'l Hua gate, Pekin. This log has remained in its present position since the fall of the old Ying dynasty. It is in good preservation and has commanded the respect of all classes and conditions of people. Insects in China usually make in roads in timber in a very short while, but they aro said never to alight upon this sacred tree trunk, and it is true that they have not left a single trace of their work upon it, whili the timbers in every direction are a perfect honeycomb of insect work. The Chinese people believe that the log is the habitation of some god, and on that ac count gather and worship at its base at least once ii year. Among the higher classes the day for this unique species of worship is the first of each succeeding month unless that day should happen to be a new-moon day. October 1 of every year the Emperor commands the Board of Ceremonies to ap point a committee to pay their respects to the deified log. A HEAP OF MONEY.

NINE MILLION DOLLARS - IS THE AMOUNT OF BOUNTY TIIE MA PLE SUGAR MEN WILL GET. Applications Pouring Into the Treasury From Many Localities in Half a Dozen States Not a Very Small Potato Indus try After AH. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. WAsnixGTO!f, July 7. The growers of maple sugar are literally pouring upon the Treasury their applications for bounty under the new law which went into effect July 1. At the International Revenue office the pfflcials aro amazed at the magnitude of this infant industry and overwhelmed with labor resulting from the eagerness of ex Senator Edmunds' pet protected industry to get its fingers inside tho Treasury. The law grants a bounty of 2 cents apound on all American raw sugars produced in tlie United States of a certain grade, and as the output is estimated at about 450,000,000 pounds a sum of $9,000,000 will bo required to meet it. A'hen this particular item in the tariff bill was under discussion in the Senate. Senator Plumb took occasion torefcr to it sneeringly as a "small potato industry" and one that only the Vermont producer was materially interested in. Previous to and following Saturday last, applications fof registration have been pouring in from maple sugar growers in Vermont, Michigan, Ohio, Mary land; Pennsylvania and New York. The law provides that those who produco 500 pounds, 80 per cent of which is sacchar ine, shall receive a bounty of 1 cents; those producing 90 per cent receive a bounty of 2 cents per pound. The beet sugar industry, which tho la w is specially designed to foster, is confined principally to Utah, Nebraska and Southern California. The largest beet sugar plant on the continent-is located at Salt Lake City. Under the provisions of the law little if any of tho bounty provided for will be dis tributed until 1S92. The beet sugar pro ducers will not be able to get their product upon the market much belore January or February next: cane cutting in Louisiana does not generally commence before Novem ber and the product cannot be gotten ready for market beforo March or April, which is about the time the maple sugar producers are also able to get their output ready. NON-SECTARIAN INDIAN SCHOOLS. Commissioner Morgan's Statement Occa sions Renewed Discussion. FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Washington, July 7. Mr. Morgan, Com missioner of Indian Affairs, who has made some reputation as an assailant of the Catho lics in Indian schools, said to-day to the cor respondent of The Dispatch that he had not by any means relinquished his purpose of making all of the Indian schools thoroughly non-sectarian. In providing for the schools for the next fiscal year Mr. Morgan said ho hud arranged for secular teachers in about 15 schools which had formerly been superin tended by Catholic teachers, and that if he were permitted to continue his policy for an other year ho would have the schools of every reservation completely sectarianized. This statement of Mr. Morgan will doubt less occasion a renewed discussion of this question which has vexed the politicians no little, and has excited intense opposition, based on purely political ground-, among some of tho leading Republican politicians of the country. Every effort has iiecn made bv such Senators as Plumb and Manderson, w'ho are particularly affected by this policy , to modify Mr. Moi-gan's tendencies, arguing with the President and Secretary Noble that such a policy would array the Catholics solidly against the party, but all without effect. The policy is pursued, and Mr. 5lorgan is retained. It is probablo that this statement of to-day, made by Mr. Morgan with evident satisfaction, will result in a new effort to effect his removal, and one more vigorous than ever.

Barclay, the Westinchouse agent for the street railway department at Chicago, returned homo last evening. He says'acci dents at crossings willpccur as long as all cars aro not brought td a dead sto'p. The com panies iu Chicago had so many collisions that they were compelled to adopt the rule. Since then they have scarcely had any wrecks. Mr. Barclay thinks Sixth avenue and Smithfleld street is a very dangerous place. The cable cars are not provided with track brakes, and he anticipates a big aocident at this point. The rails lire often greasy in the morning, and coming down the hill a cable car is liable to collide with one. on tho Pleasant Valley. Next year he says street can Trill be heated by electricity.
