Tbe session proper of the seventeenth annual meeting of the United States Merinp Sheep-Breeders Association opened here to-day, with representatives present from half a dozen States. The usually dry routine was en livened. this morning by the report of W. B. Pollock, of Canonsburg. Pa, who was a delegate of the National Delaine Associa tion, to a joint meeting of sheep-breeders with the World's Fair Directors. Mr. Pollock reported that American breeders were discriminated against, as there would be considerable red tape con nected with exhibiting. Exhibitions of Americans would have to be done as indi viduals, as against English, Australian and Canadian sheep-breeders, who could exhibit by States or counties. He said there were larger premiums offered for dogs than for sheep. Regarding the exhibits at thc Columbian ; J-Jxposition, ne sam me ii iniuauuu ;re i fat-salaried asJted went toward paving lai-saiRriei. officials, and as the members ot the organi zation m ere Alliance men almost to a man, his statement created a stir, they being un- alterably opposed to fat salaries. A Pennsylvanian here arose and said that in the committee of SO. appointed to look after Pennsylvania's interests at the Pair, the farmer was not given half a show, as the only granger on the committee came from the East and that he hired his farm workers. They, as an association, had asked that a practical sheep-breeder be appointed, but theirrequest was ignored. He also thoncht they should exhibit as an association, so that a good showing could be made. A committee of five was then appointed to look after their interests at the Fair. A resolution was also passed akinc that the Fair be closed on the Sabbath, and that no liquor be sold on the grounds. Arrangements were made for the publica tion of volume 3 of the Register, and it was decided that all sheen to be registered must be presented by July 1, 1892, and '9L' lambs by October 1, 1892.

George Robinson swore that he first met AVinans in the penitentiary in 1873; that "Winans sent for him to come to Cherry Tree, and the two agreed upon a number of robberies, but that a coolness sprang up between them because "Winans accused him of not dividing the Rouseville , spoils equitably.

Winans has lived in Cherry J.ree lor several years, where he lias Been prominent, especially in the church.

The following self-explanatory letter was given your cor respondent to-day: To My liaseliall Friends and the Baseball Public: So many reports have been circulated concerning my playing ball the coming sea son with various clubs in the new baseball League that I deem it advisable to state I have positively not the slightest intention of signing with any club but that in Louis ville, if I engage at ball playing at all My reason for coming to this conclusion is that I have opened a place of business in this, my old home, and haVe met with such gen erous encouragement and support that I shall settle down here for good. I would like to play ball in Louisville, because I can do so withont any detriment to my busi ness interests. To that end I have made overtures to the managers of the Louisville club, and they are willing to sign, provided I can obtain my release from Chicago the club. I think that club will not decline me this release, as under no circumstances will Isign or agree to play ball in any other city. I have already refused to listen to various liberal offers made me and will en tertain no others. If the Chicagos refuse to release me, I shall permanently retire from active basebajl life. Fred Pfeffer. EEH BHTLFORD'S VIEW. Be Says a Few Words About the Threat or PUtsborsr. Ren Mulford has the following to say about the threat of the Pittsburg club re garding the Lyons case : At least one .ugly sore is visible on the body of the giant Leaeue. Pittsburg is at flicted, and Now York is poisoning the spot by using finger nails and no vaseline. Dr. Nicholas S. Young has diagnosed the case at Washington, but the soothing syrup he has sent on by syringe has not lulled the Key stone gentlemen into submissive slumber. The new king of the Smoked Italians W. E. Temple has placeda large gieen chipon his shoulder, and he dares Dr. Young or any other son-of-a-gun to Jostle it off. Colonel Tomnlo is tor war, and tho Chiloan muss is not to be mentioned in the same breath with the Pittsburg rebellion. Denny Lyons has signed with the Pitts burgers, and he is between two fires. New Yntk claims him, and seems to have the official backing up of the President of the .ueague. i-iitsourg, wun its legal nna moral rights to the player as fully developed as the bloom on the nose of a man on his way to the biohlorlde of gold retreat, vows that tho League will be enjoined from sandbag ging it out of the third baseman. Tbe Sam Barkley decision is cited as one that fits the present case to a T. Miss Harmony appears to be wandering around just now with her head in a barrel, while the merry dogs of war are engaged in a barking choius. AN0THEE KICK HADE. Presidents Hart and Robison Object to the Proposed Agreements Chicago, Jan. 27. President Hart, of the Chicago Baseball, Club, and President Robison, of the Cleveland club, have in formed President Rogers, of Philadelphia, that they do not approve the proposed na tional agreement and will not vote for it un less the document is materially changed. Mr. Hart says President Brush,of Cincinnati, will also oppose the adoption of the agree ment as it now stands. The principal ob jection advanced by President Hart is that the "Western League will not become a party to the agreement. He says that should the "drafting" sys tem prevail except between seasons, the plans of the "Western League would be en tirely disarranged. Rather than abandon these plans, which contemplate making the clubs in the "Western organization as nearly eqnal in playing strength as possible, Mr. Hart believes the "Western League would forego national agreement protection, and that the Eastern League, which is incu bating, would fo'low the "Western League. He declares the charges for protection to be excessive. Results nt Gnttcnbarg. GUTTE3BURG. N. Y., Jan. 27. Track to-day was in much better condition than yester day.

Klval Lawyers Make More Trouble Tor tho Baseball Magnates. Chicago, Jan. 27. Special. Profes sional jealousy between two lawyers is likely to involve the new National League and American Association of Baseball Clubs in serious trouble. The warring attorneys are Colonel Rogers, of Philadelphia, for years attorney of the National League, and Zacjj Phelps, who up to the time of its de mise at Indianapolis, filled the same office for the American Association. When 1he amalgamation occurred, Phelps, much to the disgust of Rogers, was appointed coun sel to the new organization. Rogers wanted the job himself. The two lawyers and Nick Young were appointed a committee to for mulate a new national agreement. The Colonel, determined upon revenge, drafted, a national agreement, submitted it to him self and incidentally to Nick Young, and then rushed it into print. Thus Phelps became acquainted with the plans of the new agreement, for it is charged that Rogers not only neglected to submit the agreement to his "colleague, but without placing the matter before the League, he arbitrarily assumed the power of naming the time when it should go into effect, set ting February 1 as the date. Instead of allowing the League to adopt the agreement as a body, he mailed each President proofs of the document and asked him to vote for its adoption or rejection. Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati have come out flat-footed against the proposed new agreement President Hart to-day sent a hot letter to Rogers denouncing the provisions of the agreement, and President Robison, of Cleveland, who is in Chicago, wired his unqualified disapproval. Brush, of Cincinnati, also sent a letter in warm op position. They say that without the co operation of the Eastern and "Western Leagues the agreement is worthless, and those organizations will never submit to the harsh terms of protection proposed by Rogers. CAL M'CAETHY THE VICT0B. He Beits Tommy Callaghan, of .England, In 14 Feather-Weight Itonnils. New Orleajjs, Jan. 27. The inter national feather-weight contest to-night at the Olympic Club between Tommy Callag han, of England, and Cal McCarthy, of New Jersey, was witnessed by about 3,000 people. Great interest was felt in the match from the fact that the winner was promised a go with George Dixon for the world's championship. Callaghan trained at Bay St. Louis in care of Jim Robinson, while' McCarthy got in trim at Carrollton under the care of Willie Kenney.Callaghan's first American victim. The men fought for a purse of $2, 000, of which 51,500 went to tne winner ann ouu to ine loser, uotn weighed in a 6 o'clock and'were two pounds each overweight. After a friendly parley, however, between the men and the Presi dent of the club, all decided to let the fight go on. Callaghan was seconded by Jim Carroll and Prof. James Robinson, while Mr. Frank, of Bay St Louis, held the bottle. R. M. Frank was appointed official time keeper. Cal McCarthy was seconded by Jack O'Mara, his faithful friend, and Willie Kenney. Alter a rattling set-to of 14 rounds, in which both men received se vere punishment, McCarthy v. as declared the winner. SPALDING'S 0PINI05. J. w. Talks About the Latest Phase of the Lyons Casr. During a conversation with a reporter re garding the Lyons case Tuesday, J. W. Spalding said: "The understanding at .Indianapolis was that contracts made with players previous to December 5 should stand. As Pittsburg did not, I believe, sign Lyons until after that date, it appears that New York is en titled to the -player. We are not loing any sleep over the matter, and if Pittsburg takes serious action we shall be ready to de fend our rights. Tn regard to Moran, we signed him last September andpaid advance money to him. I fail to see any good rea son why he should not come here. The only move made in reference to Pfeffer has been correspondence between Manager Powers and President Hart. In response to inquiries regarding Pfeffer, Hart replied that Chicago did not intend to release him until some other good second baseman was secured. There would, of course, be no use in negotiating with the player until Chicago's consent was obtained. In a re cent communication BuckEwing states that he will be able to catch, if required. The probabilities are that he will play steadily on first base." ' LOOKS A LITTLE BBIGHTER. The Three Big College Ball Teams May IMay Together This Tear. New York, Jan. 27. Special The question of arranging baseball games be tween Yale, Harvard, and Princeton has Deen practically settled, and the teams of the three great colleges will meet on the diamond next season. A short time ago an effort was made to hold a joint conference in this city of representatives of the three colleges, but through some misunderstand ing it failed. The Harvard delegates ar rived, but Yale and Princeton did not ap pear. It was then announced that another meet ing would be held two weeks later. Subse quently it was decided not to attempt to hold another meeting, but endeavor to ar range matters through the medium of cor respondence and private conference The result isi that Yale and Princeton have already agreed on dates, and to-morrow rep resentatives of Harvard and Princeton will meet in Worcester and try to come to an understanding. It is generally believed that there will be no difficulty in fixing dates. , AN IMPORTANT MEETING. Local Ttaieball Magnates Have a Secret Cor fab About the Lyons Care. The officials of the local ball club had an important conference yesterday, but it was a secret one. The Lyons case was about the only question under discussion. ' Sev eral telegrams were received advising the club not to go into court. It is not unlikely that a deal will be made with the New York club whereby Pittsburg will get a player instead of Lyons. It is thought the latter is now inclined to go to New York. Secretary Scandrett will this year devote his entire time to the business "of the club. He, will travel, with it and will look after the turnstiles, etc. 11r Fatfrn Ohio league Reorganized. Alliance, Jan. 27.

An other meeting will be held February 4, when it is thought a schedule of games will be adopted. ' Heady for the Word.

He will now go into training to meet English crack runners, and will return to New York' next August. General Sporting Note. Elhiea is making efforts to get into the .Eastern League. Jiji Corbett is going to England tosee the Jackson-Slavin fight. Billt MAnninr says its like finding $9,0C0 to put Maher up against Fitrsimmons. The general outside opinion is to the effect that the Pittsburg club is doing wrong in threatening to go"To law on .tho Lyons mat ter. ' The officials of the local club are in re ceipt of many telegrams from friends advis ing them to have nothing to do with the courts. It might be as well for President Young if he withholds his opinions on the Lyons case until the matter is before "'the League for discussion. Ives defeated Thatcher last night in his practice game for the matqh with Jake Schaefer for the championship of tho world. Tho score was 400 to 160. A 8TROXQ man from Philadelphia caused quite a surprise in the Academy of Music last evening by rising in, the audience and challenging either Cyclops or Sandowe to a coiitest of strength. The stranger' name is Bernaldo, and his challenge was accepted. The contest will likely take place this even ing or to-morrow. Alex Gregoaiks, the Pacific coast middle weight, is trying to force Young Mitchell Into a fight. The CaliforniaClub director-, have agreed to make the purse satisfactory for Mitchell. Tho latter, however, an nounced some timn ago that be would never engage in a finish fight again, and it is doubtful whether he will take any notice of Greggains. PENSIONS FOE PENNSYLVANIANS. Justice A sked for Militiamen or the State Who Suffered by the War. Washihotojt, Jan 27. Representative At kinson, of Pennsylvania, has introduced a bill to grant pensions to members of the Pennsylvania militia who were disabled during the last war while under command of officers of tho United States. There were a numoer or regiments of Pennlvania militia whose services were tendered to the Government at critical periods of t'no war, and who were com manded by regular ofljcers, and yet who wero not mustered regularly Into tbe ser vices of the Government. TLey risked their lives in defense of the Union the samo as those who had been mustered into the regu lar army, and Mr. Atkinson thinks that they should be pensioned, at least when disabled while fighting for tho country. The Ohio militia was tendered to the Gov ernment in the same way, but before they were discharged tne officials of that Srate took means to ce that they were mustered regularly into the service of the Govern ment, hence they receive pensions the same as other veterans, but the Pennsylvania militia, while doing the same service ns that of Ohio, are not at present entitled to pen sions when disabled. This injustice Mr. Atkinson seeks to remedy by his bill. PEOPLE COMING AND GOING. Horace E. Andrews and wife, of Cleve land, and W. It.
