DEFECTS OP THE LOTTERY PLAN. .Arthur Whitney Finds a Xew Season, for His Strange Action. GENERAL SPORTING KEVTS OP THE DAI Manager Cuslnnan, of the Milwaukee baseball team, now in this city, said some very interesting and instructive things yes terday afternoon relating to baseball. He was in an exceedingly talkative mood, and ns the ram had vetoed the game he had plenty of opportunity to express his no tions of things in general. During his talk he said: "1 have seen the St Louis and the Cin cinnati teams this year, and while they are cood teams they arc not, in my estimation, as good as the Pittsburg team. The Pitts burgs, as far as I have seen them, are among the best hitters and arc natural hitters. If all goes well with them they will be a great team. But the Cleveland clnb is the dark horse in the race. Theirs is an excellent team, and in Davies they have a jewel of a pitcher. And, by the way, the lottery plan in the "Western League, together with the big consolidation scheme, knocked my plans entirely on the head. Had Four Good Ones. "I had four of the best pitchers in the country for this season, and I got none of them because of the lottery plan, which may be good for the clubs, but it is very bad for the managers. We get men of whom u e know little or nothing and don't want "Ve cannot get the men we want, and as a result there is a deal of interest taken out of the work. Players are thrown together miscellaneously and there is almost no choice. I "have secured a lot of sociable fellows as tar as that point is concerned, but 1 have wired our committee on players asK imr them to allow mc to release three men and sign Berger and tfaul. The two latter want ?2j0 each per month, and I think lean pay them that if I travel with 11 men." Manager Cushman declined to say who the three men are whom he think"! of re leasing, but Henry Jones is one. Berger, it may be stated, expects to hear irom the Philadelphia club some time to-day. That club wants a catcher, and President Temple yesterday told Bergerthat hejnriy secure an engagement with the Phillies, and if he does Manager Cnshman will not secure him. V 111 Kaise Their Limit. The Milwaukee manager went on to say that it is the intention ot the "Western League members to keep ahead of the East ern Association. He said: "We hope next year to have our salary list much higher than this year; at any rate it will be higher than the limit of the Eastern League, mid this will give us the call on the players. I feel certain we'll make mouey this year because of the low salarv list, even it we at Milwaukee have oG.OOO o.- 40,000 people less at the games than last year. The lottery plan, as v.ecallit, eeps down the salarv list, and nothing else can. AH other methods have been tried and failed. I remember when I had charge of the Toronto club we had a limit ot 14,000 for the season, and our list was thousands beyond that "When I signed Piicner Atkinson at the individual limit itf engaged his wife and other rela tives to act as clerks, stenographers, etc., so as to make up the salary he wanted. Of course, ue had no use lor clerks, etc., but we paid Atkinson the money to pay them according to agreement." Manager Cushman thinks that Baltimore mid Louisville will be so tar behind in the race this year that ther-i will be nobody to patronize their games toward the close of the season. He also thinks that if Von der Ahe hadn't 53,000 or 54,000 invested in the Louisville club the latter would not be in the 12-cltib League, and that Milwaukee would. The manager had little to say about the future ot tue 12-club League. He i. ol opinion that il it does not exist next year there will be a big Eastern League and a big "Western League. He concluded his talk by savin" that Arthur Whitney is acting very ioolishly in 'threatening the local club. "WHITNEY'S KEW CLAIM. lie AtsertsTluit He XI id a Personal Con tract With Mr. McGnnnlirle. Arthur Whitney made another surprising statement yesterday a.ternoon. He said that lie had a verBal contract with cx Mar.ager 31cGunniglc that he, Whitnev, would he on tue Pittsburg team all the sea son. It is very strange that Whitney has Iclt inclined to keep this fact, if it is a lact, tecret until now and uiitil newspapers have suggested that such an understanding might have been arrived at. It is still stranger that Mr. McGunnigle should at no time have informed the club directors of such an un derstanding. Uut the strangest of all is the fact of there being no wri'ing to prove such a contract. It seems funny that Mr. Whitney with his legal perspicuity and his eagerness lor ap peals to court should have allow ed such an important condition to remain a mere verbal assurance. Mr. Whitney's first claim was that the ten-day clause was not equitable: he seems to have abandoned that because of discovering something else ;f which there is very shaky prool. Arthur is really making his case worse in the eyes of the public. He intends to wait until April 15 and then ask for his salary, ir he does not get it, he will then sue for it. It is a sorry affair at best. WILL LEAVE T0-H0EE0W. Tho Local Ball Team to Proceed to Sleet the Tar. The local team will leave the city to-morrow morning on their first championship trip this year They will play an exhibition game iu Columbus Monday, and then pro cred to open the season in Cincinnati on Tuesday.

There is a general disposition on the part of the Democratic leaders of the House to sus pend further discussion of the tariff for the present, and proceed with the consideration of the general appropriation bills.

Ministers Are Not Called to Go Into the Sinks of Iniqnity IN ORDER TO EXPOSE CORRUPTION. Topics to Bo Iliscussed in Many of Our City Pulpits To-Monw. GLEANINGS F0M CHDECH FIELDS The minister is certainly not called to go down into the slums and join in the festivi ties there in order to expose the corruptions of our cities. A noted New York preacher, who has come prominently before the pub lic of late, forhis courage in assailing the sins of the metropolis, has lost somewhat of his prestige by later developments. It is never right .to do wrong, whatever the plausible pretext may be. The minister who participates in evil for the purpose of exposing evil, must inevitably weaken his influence with his church and the public. The detective who joins with transgressors in order to bring them to judgment, cannot be a high type of manhood, and the minister who does the same is sure to lose in a meas ure the respect of his flock. .
