Base ball affairs, so far as the National league 1s concerned, have not changed any during the past week. Everything depends upon the result of the special meeting of the league to be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York,on Monday. The Problem of the composition of the league must’ be ‘solved at that meeting, for the playing season 1s too near at hand to permit of any further delay. The eighth league club must be allowed some little mein which to equip itself for the season's struggle. The question of where that club shall be located is still a matter of conjecture. Several of the clubs that opposed the admission of Kansas city and preferred Indianapolis at the Pittsburg committee meeting are nowstrongly In favorof Kan- sas City, They are unanimous, however, in their ap- oval Of the action of the committee at that meet- ing in referring the whole matter to the league, tor they are now better informed as to the exact situation and can act intelligently. Before this vexed question can be settled, however, it will be necessary to clesrly define the status of THE ST. LOUIS CLUB, which has all along been considered as practically out of the league, and necessarily destined for transfer either to Kansas City or Indianapolis. Al- though this will doubtless prove a side issue of no consequence, Still ft may assume serious propor- | Hons, for base ball 1s a Very uncertain quantity. It is claimed that as the league committee did not ratify the sale of the St. Louis franchise to Kansas City the ‘St. Louis people cannot be held b: ‘should they see a way to better themselves. great desideratum with St. Louis isthe permission to play Sunday games. With it the franchise 1s Valued at $50,000. Without it there is no use com- ‘ting With the St. Louts Browns for patronage. rhe Si. Louts management claim that five clubs of the league are in favor of granting them this per- mission, and will endeavor before Monday to in- duce Pittsburg to become the sixth club to vote for granting the privilege which will then be al- lowed. It is ba ely possible but highly improba- bie that St. Louis will remain in the league. Ifthe sale of the St. Louls franchise and players to Kan- Sas City fs not ratified by the league, the owners will insist upon being paid as much by Indianapo- lis as by Kansas City, which is said to be $20,000, and will otherwise se the league for the differ- ence, All things considered ‘THE PROSPECTS are the same as they were a week ago. If the In- dtanapolis people are anxtous enough for a league ciub to show a readiness and an ability to spend about $30,000 at the start, they will probably be admitted. There has been a reaction, however, 1n favor of the Kansas City on account of the plucky manner in which its stand Was matntained, and Indianapoits Will have to show a very strong hand to Win, If it 1s admitted the league Will purchase the Kansas City club for distribution. Those who are most likely to Know continue to maintain that the strongest St. Louis players will be required to stay With the club that geis the franchise. If this roves so Chicago Will have to. get_along without Glasscock and New York without Denny. A good many people, however, think that Spalding and | Day are too stirewd to be balked in their plens and | will in the end manage to attain their object. It | nas been asserted that Spalding’s advocacy of Kan- | sus City was caused by a private arrangement in vance that he Should get. Glasscock, but this 1s | asemphatically denied. It undoubtedly will be to the advantage of the league to make the elghth club as Strong as possible, for that means a more equable distribution of base ball ability among the clubs, and hence greater interest and patronage during the race for ‘THE CHAMPIONSEIP. ‘There will be a great rivalry among more than half the league clubs for first place. Detroit 13 very able, of course; so is New York. Chicago, though somewhat ned, 1s a dangerous team. Boston has been materially strégthened, Kelly and Radbourn making the finest battery ‘in the laud, Philadelphia, with its excellent manage. | ment and discipline, cannot help playing good ball. Pittsburg comes to the league from the Américan association with a splendid reputation, ‘and its progress will be watched with a good dea of interest. A first-class team should certainly result fromi a combination of St. Louis and Kansas City. Washington fs unquestionably the weakest, team, on paper, but there fs no telling how strong it will prove to'be, ‘The team is underrated, There are good men In the organization, an man- agement and discipline will do Wonders towards Dringing them out. ‘THE WASHINGTON TEAM. ‘There is every prospect that Washington will be materially benefitted by the result of Monday's meeting, for it 1s on the cards for us to get Myers, Whitney and OBrien. “Nothing can prevent such an outcome, but a blunder on the part of the home management In not looking after its interests in the proper manner. Such a thing 1s entirely un- expected, and there 1s every reasou to believe that these mén will belong to Washington before the season opens Spalding and Anson are being pretty severely criticised for releasing Kelly, Gore and Dalrymple. ‘The longer heads, however, hold that they have made a very Wist move. Anson favors releasing any player who 1s thoroughly dissatisfied with the club, foF the reason that he could not get the best work from him if he should force him to play ‘ainst his will Chicago may not capture the championship, but it will make more money than I the men were retained. Spalding ts an unusually shrewd man, and generally knows pretty well What he is about in baseball matters. He has Secured $14,000 for the release of these three play- ers. By distributing them among differ ent clubs he has made each one a strong Grawing "card when, it plays in chicago. When Boston comes there everybody will want to see Kelly, and the same will be the case with New York when 1t brings Gore, and Pittsbu with Dalrymple, and besides, both Spalding an Anson are satisfied with their team as it now stands. “New York, 1t 13 sald, has given up all hopes of securing Denny from St. Louls and will lay Richardson at third. He 1s not such a bril- fant player as Denny, and will not be such a drawing card, but 1t is'a question if he does not ive equal satisfaction in the long run. ‘The team jas been inatertally strengthened and will make a strong bid for the championship. With stronger batteries it Would be almost sure of capturing the nant. Pitunager Gaffney arrived here yesterday, and ‘will at once begin preparations for’ beginning the season.

CHARGED WITH AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE Ix MARY- LAND. About a week ago Deputy Sheriff Hayden, of Charles county, Md., arrived here with a warrant for the arrest of John, alias William Gordon, a colored man 35 years of age, on the charge of an assault with intent to outrage Mrs. Alice Norris at Rock Potnt, on the Wicomico river. Gordon was not then in the city, andthe warrant, with a de- scription of the man, was left with Lieutenant Vernon's officers. Y it Falvey and Officer Block, ascertaining t) a man was at aiiver whart on the. schooner, Raymond’ Faller went there and Gordon started to rua off, but was caught. He was placed in the cells of the fourth precinct station and on the arrival of Mr. len, who was sent for, was turned over tohim. It aj pears that Mrs. Norris’ husband 1s empl in oystering, and she 1s often left alone with her 1n- fant, with the exception that Gordon does chores around the house, and that one day last week he entered Mrs. Norris’ bed chamber and assaulted her, but her screams caused him to desist and to flee from the place. The facts becom! known, the sheriff and a scoured the for him and jearned that he had gone on board of one of the schooners in the river, Gordon denies the charge against him and states that on going to Mrs. Norris’ room with coal to put on the fire he found her wing across the bed and on her child, and he took hold ot her arm to pull her off the baby to prevent her killing It, when she made an aiarm and he then ran off. —- A Good Word for the Home Club. ‘To the Editor of Tae EVENING Stan: In your last night's issue and also in Monday's issue there appear What are intended to be pro- tests against the management of the Washington base ball nine or “The Nationals,” but which only amount to “Kicks” of those who, by their very utterances, show thetr lack of apprectation of good ball playing and the difficulties to be surmounted by those who attempt to furnish this city with a good team, and Who are not willing to give and who do noi give the amount of fin: ‘support by their patronage of the game that would be necessary to give Welght or credence to thelr re- marks. Base ball patrons in other efties make no protest, against a 50-cent tariff, and consequently other clubs are better able to’ pay for players, and are not dependent upon the generosity of the league for their playing strength.

X. Washington, D. C., March 4th, 1887. — ‘The “Sea Devil.” A NEW DESTROYER THAT WILL DIVE LIKE A DUCK ‘UNDER A SHIP. The patents just granted Mr. Sid. H. Nealy by the United States and European governments for amarine torpedo, according to the claims made by the patentee, will result in the manufacture of an engine of war almost appalling in its destruc- Uve nature. The largest torpedo carries a charge of over 800 pounds of high explosive, either dyna- mite or nitro-gelatine. ‘This charge 1s contained in a cylindrical body, tapered off cigar like at the ends ahd encircled by’ two broad screw-blades. A shaft, operated from within the body by a com- rressed air engine, 1s held against rotation by flat lades, Which take the place of propeller blades, and by a float from which the body of the torpedo revolves. The force of the compressed alr falling | to affect the shaft reacts upon the body or shei with its screw blades, hurling the whole torpedo along at such a speed, the inventor claims, that no Ship afloat can escape it. ‘The moment the de-. stroyer reaches a ship it leaves its float, dives and strikes the ship midway between the water-line and keel. In the same manner it goes beneath the torpedo ‘guards used by ships at anchor. The “Sea Devil,” as the new weapon is called, is en- Urely beneath the water, and its movements ca not be detected from an énemy’s ship. It 1s per- fectly nolseless, and has the movement of some strange living monster of the sea. A signaling de- vice ts the only thing seen by the senders after the torpedo starts on its course. This little arrange- ment arises from the water, presents a brilliant, ‘spot of color towards the opérator by day and as suddenly disappears at regular intervals. By night @ phosphorescent light 1s given from it, unseen by the enemy, but plainly visible to those sending the eng’ne 0n {ts mission of destruction. ‘The Sea Devil 1s steered by electric wires from the shore or other place of launching.
