BIG LEAGUE MEETING. Confidence of the Leaders—A Ten-Club Schedule Prepared. Cievetaxp, Onto, March 8—The Wendell house was alive with base ball magnates this forenoon, President Nimick and Secretary Scandrett of the Pittsburg club arrived Sunday evening, and A. G, Spalding, J. Palmer O'Neill and James Hart of Chicago came in early this morning. Afew hours later Messrs, Soden and Conant of Boston and John B. Day and Walter Appleton of New York arrived upon the scene. Walter Hewett and Nick Young were expected to arrive from Washing- ton during the afternoon, The only player who bad put in an appearance up to noon to- day was Leech Maskrey of last year’s Des Moines club. The schedule committee,consisting of Soden, Spalding and Nimick, met at 12 o'clock to arrange a table of dates for the season. Their work was in the nature of a report to be pre- sented at the regular league meeting, which will convene Tuesday morning. Each of the members of the committee had prepared a schedule and the meeting was for the purpose of deciding upon which to report for adoption. Nothing could be learned re- garding the dates assigned the different clubs, asthe committee thought it best not to make anything public until after it has been fully determined how many clubs shall constitute the league this season. It seemed tobe the general opinion this morning that there will bo no change from the present make-up, “I have prepared a ten-club schedule,” said Soden, who is chairman of the committee, “and I believe Messrs, Spalding and Nimick have done likewise, We have all ex- perienced more or less trouble in ar- ranging things to suit everybody with @ ten-club league, but I guess we have it fixed now so none of them will have much cause for complaint, If such a thing as a reduction in the number of our clubs should be determined upon Tuesday we can fix up an eight-club schedule in a very short time.” John B. Day, when asked how things were progressing at New York, said: We are get- ting along first rate. Mutrie has taken our club to Charleston and he expects with the few additional “stars” we will have at ghe opening of the season to post a strong front. | am satisfied that these rotherhood people have put their feet in it and and that they all will be very sorry in leas than a year for their present actions.” Spalding expressed himself as very well pleused at the outlook. “I am not a bit nervous,” he said, “and never have been. This thing had tocome. It was only a question of time. You know no man can start up a business and make a success of it without Eav- ing employes take it into their heads at some time or other to run things for him. We've just got to his point and we will come out of it with flying colors.” The regular meeting will convene tomorrow morning. It is the general opinion of dele- gates here now that it will be the most import- unt ever held by the league. — APACHE RE Another Indian War Likely to Happen This Spring. Sax Cantos, N.M., March 3,—The renegade Apaches are making themselves known as win- ter disappears, Of the eleven renegades five or eight of them are in Sonoma, and on a late raid stole _—sixteen horses, besides committing numerous othey| depredations. It is safe to say that an Apache war is imminent and the local police and the military is not likely to anticipate or prevent it. Five Indian murderers are now being housed by their friends on the reservation. —_ FAREN WAS NOT A JESUIT. He Had a Big Spree in Washington on Christmas Day. Batttmore, Mp., March 3.—Rev. T. J. Camp- bell, provincial of the order of Jesuit, tele- graphs from Philadelphia a denial of the state- ment that Rev. H.

DISCUSSING SHIDY’S CASE. The Civil Service Investigation, with Mr. Hatton as the Only Prosecutor. STATEMENTS OF THE COMMISSIONERS—EX-POsT- MASTER PAUL A LIVELY WITNESS—HE DEFEXDS HIS MANAGEMENT OF THE MILWAUKEE PosT OFFICE AND PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO SHIDY. ‘The House committee on reform in the civil service, rested by the intervention of the Sabbath, was at its subterranean rendezvous this morning at 10:30. Prosecutor Hatton had the foot of the table all to himself, for Repre- sentative Ewart, the associate counsel, was in- disposed and absent, There was the customary crowd of persons apparently interested. ‘MR, FLYNN ASSAULTED. Before the first witness was called the chair- man read a letter from Mr. Flynn in which he stated that on Saturday last three men called at his house, one of whom called himself W. W. Ashby and represented himself to be the brother-in-law of Miss Dabney, who had appeared before the committee and given testimony in regard to his obtaining service questions, and demanded that he awritten denial of all the testimony he given before the committee. He refused to give the denial penne. He was then assaulted and when at ft he did so threatening to inflict personal injury upon him at another time. Flynn also states that he swore out war- rants for Ashby’s arrest, but was unable to find him, and says that he believes that he gave a false name and address, In conclusion he asks that Miss Dabney be recalled by the committee and forced to tell who the men are and if she is encouraging them to try to make him re- tract his testimony, ‘The first witness was Representative Browne of Virginia, who testified to the truthfulness and general good repute of Miss Emily Dabuey, whose testimony had been impeached by another witness—8, W. Flynn. COMMISSIONER ROOSEVELT'S STATMENT. Commissioner Roosevelt then requested the committee to hear him make a statement. He “Before the investigation goes further I wish to make a statement in ref- erence to the testimony elecited on Saturday in regard to Mr. Shidy. I have nothing further to say as to the wisdom or unwisdom of seeking to protect a man who abandons his wrongdoing and at the risk of his a turned government witness. I thought that it was my duty to protect a government — witness, The testimony of the superintendent of the census and of the Postmaster General might give the impression that I had concealed from them the facts in regard toShidy. Ifsuch an im- pression was conveyed by Mr. Porter he amply corrected it when recalled to the stand. It is impossible that the Postmaster General could have meant to convey such an idea, for he was officially cognizant of all the facts in regard to Shidy by the report in the Paul case—the re- port which he assigns as in part the basis of his action in determining on the removal of Paul, THE REPORT IN THE BHIDY CASE. Mr. Roosevelt then referred to the report made on this case where it is stated that Shidy was compelled to give other postmasters free access tofthe list of eligibles and also compelled to torture the ‘ists and — certifica- tion books so as to produco a certification, which should bear the appointee’s name, and also where the report states: “‘Shidy testified that he yielded to all the postmaster’s demands because he knew that a refusal to do so would have entailed the immediate loss of his Place and therefore of his means of support. * * * Shidy and Johnson were equally to blame, but of course, if their state- ments are true, an infinitely heavier load of biame rests on the postmaster,” Further quotations were made from the re- port, showing the connection of Shidy in the matter, one of which, referring to Shidy, says: “He bad the manliness to come forward and tell what had occurred when the chance was given him,” JOHNSON AND SHIDY. Mr. Roosevelt continued as follows: ‘It may be added that any one who has read the report even in the most cursory way cannot fail to understand not only the evidence given by Mr. Shidy but the exact nature of Mr. Shidy’s violation of law, for his (Shidy’s) name occurs in almost every sentence of the report and his testimony as to his wrong doing and that of colleagues in a _ integral and inseparable part of it. The Postmaster Gen- eral was also cognizant of the facts in regard to Johnson, who was equally at fault with Shia: who did not confess, but whe is still retained in office by sufferance of the Post- master General, There was nothing in- consistent in rotectiu: and giving a hearing to hidy, who had confessed, and put him in as good a position as his equally guilty colleague, who had not repented or con- fessed, Again, at the time I saw the Postmaster General the —_facis were matters of public notoriety. The Post- master General, 1 am suregdid not mean to convey the " impression that anything was concealed from him mn regard to Shidy, but in case such a mistake should arise I desire to say that I not only concealed nothing in regard toShidy from any one, but all tie facts in urd to him were publicly and ally known at the time of my suggestion of him for office and at the time of his appointment, Not a fact has been elicited during the investigation as to Mr. Shidy's conduct while in office that we did not el bring out in our official report of last July which was not only formally brought to the attention of the Postmaster General, but was published in the press.” COMMISSIONER LYMAN THEN MADE A STATEMENT astothe interview the commission had with Postmaster General Wanamaker relative to Shidy. The commission did not demand Shidy’s reinstatement, although it favored such action. The Postmaster General was evi- dently of the opinion that the commission, in its investigation of the Milwaukee post office, had interfered with his management. ‘This, the commission argued, was a misappre- hension, and it represented to Mr. Wanamaker the injustice of punishing Shidy for what he told the committee, Representative Boatner asked Commis- sioner Lyman whether he had sent for Shidy while this investigation was in brogress, and the commissioner said he ha not; but Commissioner Roosevelt arose and in- formed the committee that he had re- quested Shidy to call on him. ‘Then Mr. Roosevelt took the floor and stated that he and Goy. Thompson had advised Shidy that when he appeared before the committee at- tempts would be made to bulldoze him, to con- fuse him, to make him contradict himselt, ‘They told him to keep cool, tell the truth and to stick to it. By this time Mr. Hatton had an assistant, It was ex-Postinaster Paul of Milwankee, very much interested in the proceedings and the audible author of a number of the interroga- tories put by the prosecutor, COMMISSIONER THOMPSON WAS CALLED by Mr. Hatton, and was examined as to the precise time of day when he arrived in Mil- waukee on his investigating trip and as to whether he or any of the commissioners warned Paul as to the nature and object of their visit, Mr. Thompson said that Paul was given every Spportunity to explain matters and utterly failed to doso. Shidy called upon witness on the morning after he testified before the commit- tee, but witness would not talk to him. “I said to him,” remarked Mr. Thompson, “that I had never heard such fine-spun theories of tt and morals as you advanced yes- terday.” Here Commissioner Roosevelt broke in with “And when the governor left the room Shid; was about to transfer his conversation to me. t told him that I did not care to talk to him alo that he was responsible for his own troubl EX-POSTMASTER PAUL TELLS HIS STORY. George H. Paul was sworn and then, in re- sponse to questions by Mr. Hatton, said he had resided in Wisconsin forty years; was post- master at Kenosha, Wis., for eight years and part of the time mayor of the town; he was a member of the state legislature, superintendent of public schools, president of the board of regents of the state university for — years see reyes railroad teenie ear le was appo' postmaster by President Cleveland and contiaued to hold that office for four years, He said he was recommended for the position by the whole state, and he raised a laugh by the pusitive way in which he said 1t, Witness was ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERS and was vice president of a civil service ization of some sort: he could not be sure whether the organization was netional or oom Boley! a heabny Serene or not he new Hamilton + frequent oppor- tunities to know him.

In the classified ser- vice of 30 clerks there were 45 resignations and removals. The resignations, with one excep tion, were ail voluntary. CONTRADICTING SHIDY. Witness stated that he never assisted Shidy in making false certifications or in remarking Papers, except in one instance where the en- tire board of examiners concurred in the re- marking. He never influenced or attempted to influence Shidyor any one else as tothe workings of the local board of examiners. He believed the commission was misled Cee cunning and lack of veracity of Shidy. Shidy was a lazy, indolent fellow—a man of dilatory habits. Witness never knew of any meddling witn or illegal handling of the papers of candi- dates. Shidy had confesscd to him that he was intimidated by the commission and by Roosevelt. This statement was greeted with laughter by the committee and all others in the room, and when it had subsided witness went onto say that Shidy told him, in the presence of wit- nesses, that he had to cover himself, because if the innocent blunders he had made in the books and papers were not explained to the commission his removal would be recom- mended, THE CASE OF JOSIE WHITEHEAD, Representative Lind then commenced an ex- amination of the witness as to the case of Josie Whitehead, who had been, it was alleged, ap- pointed first and certified afterward. Mr. Paul said that Miis Whitehead was given a temporary position in the money order division, an unclassified branch of the service. Some time later she was certified, having passed an examination, and was appointed a stamper, He could not be sure as to whether there was one, two or three names on the cer- tification slip sent him by the board. He did not know whether there were men on tho stamper's eligible list at that time or not. Miss hitehead was the only woman ever appointed a stamper in the Milwaukee office. A roli-call in the House was then, at 12:45, in Lede po) so the chairman declared a recess until 2:30, MISS DABNEY’S DEFENDER. He Wanted Prof. Flynn to Eat His Tes- timony in the Civil Service Investigation. There was some excitement in Ivy institute Saturday. Three sturdy countrymen appeared at the institute, corner of 8th and K streets, Prof. Flynn’s wife responded to the call of the door bell and admitted the strangers, who said they wanted to see Mr. Flynn on business. Prof. Flynn figured in the civil service in- vestigation at the Capitol recently and gave damaging evidence concerning Miss Emily Dabney. That was the business the strangers had with the professor. When the latter came down stairs and entered the parlor one of the men advanced, saying: “Lam W. W. Ashby and Iam Miss Dabney's brother-in-law. I want you to makea written eos ot your evidence given before the com- mittee. ‘The professor assured the visitor that he had told the truth before the committee and he could not, therefore, accommodate him with a denial. “D— you,” said the countryman, “T'll make you,” at the same time grabbing ‘the profes- sur by the coat. The latter managed to get away from his assailant and seek refuge be- hind locked door on the upper floor of the ouse. The three strangers left the institute and later inthe day one of them was at the first police station, but on what business the officers could not tell. Prof. Flynn was afraid to leave his house until Policeman Ellis went and escorted him to & magistrate’s office, where he swore out @ war- rant for Ashby, but the latter had gone to his home in Virginia. es The Star’s Success, From the Fort Worth Gazette, Tue Evenixa Stan of Washington, D.C., issued on the 18th of January contains sixteen pages.

Edward Wall, also officiating for the first time. Dr. G. H. Elliott of the Ascension church and Dr. J. H. Harrold, Washington, as- sisted in the service, and Dr. Elliott preached, Speaking with deep fecling and eloquence of the late Bishop William Pinkney, to whose memory the church was erected, he said that the church was a two-fold memorial, As a church it stood forth a memorial to God, and bearing the name of Pinkney, it was a memorial before the eyes of men of the life and character of the late bishop. He congratulated the people that their efforts and struggles had been rewarded by so beautiful a church, The music was selected and rehearsed for the occa- sion. The church isof brick laid in black mortar, with light stone trimmings and high- pitched slate roof. Inside the roof, timbers, wainscoting and pews are of light wood and the chancel furniture is of black wainut and very handsome, the various posts of which come as gifts and memorials, Some days ago a town meeting was held here for the purpose of seeing what could be done in the matter of building a public senool in Hyatts- ville, the present rented building being inade- quate for the purpose. Messrs. C. H. Welsh, J. B. Burnside and Henry A. Drury were ap- pointed a committee to wait on the county school board and obtain their oo cpereoe: The committee visited Marlboro’ for é pur- pose on Saturday and obtained the indorse- ment of the board.

Arguments will be begun tomorrow before the Court of Claims by Phil B, Thompson, jr., attorney for Representatives Crain and Paynter in their suits against the government for salaries as members of Congress which they did not receive on account of the Silcott defaleation. The arguments are to be merely on points of law as to the gov- ernment’s responsibility for the acts of its offi- cers and as to whether Mr. Leedom was a dis- bursing officer or not.

The party left here this after- noon on two boats, and the police boat Joe Blackburn, with Lieut. Hollinberger and several policergen on board, followed the party to see that the law was not violated within the District limits. Should the pugilistic party go to the White House landing the police boat will follow them and the officers will probably inform against the pugilists to the Virginia authorities, THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.

The two bide for the improvement of the Bunker Hill road have both been decided ex- orbitant by the Commissioners, and Capt. Ros- sell has advised that the work be done by day labor.

If decided favorably work will probably be commenced at once. no Svandoresnossoern BANKS IN CHINA AND JAPAN, Oriental and American Capitalists to Embark in a Great Enterprise. Nee Soko of Japan is in the United States to confer with leading bankers regarding the es- tablishing of banks in which Japan, China and America will be interested. Rich merchants of Tokio will organize a banking institution with ® capital of $5,000,000. There will be main offices in the commercial centers of Japan and China and branches in New York and San Francisco, Said Nee Soko in Chicago: “By such a chain of financial institutions the monetary transac- tions of the two Oriental countries can be brought into nearer and more systematic com- munication. It will also lessen the difficulties now experienced in the transportation of the $20,000,000 shipped each year from the United States to China, “The banks will also be a sound depository for the natives. who make the best bank cus- tomers in the world. Perhaps the institution will be so increased that ali foreign banks will be foreed to depart. Although Tokio mer- chants are the prime movers in the enterprise Chinese capitalists have signed the papers to advance their share of the capital just as soon as the money is needed.” Nee Soko is in New York, where he hopes to complete the arrangements for the opening of a branch in that city. He declines to give the names of the American and Oriental capital- ists interested. cm Planets in March, From the Providence Journal. Saturn is evening star. He retains his place at the head of the planetary brotherhood dur- ing the month, for he is more favorably situ- ated for observation than any other planet. He continues to retrograde and approach Regulus, as any one who observes his movements will easily see, He draws nearer to the bright star until the 2th, when planet and star are in conjunction, or in the same right ascension or longitude. If they were in the same declination or latitude the planet would pass directly over the star and there would an occultation, an event that seldom occurs between a planet and star, Saturn in the present case passes about a de- gree and a half north of Regulus at the time of conjunction. Afterward he will be west of the star and receding from it. ‘Mars is morning star and ranks next in in- terest to Saturn on the March annals. He makes aclose conjunction with the beautiful double star Beta Scorpii on the 4th at 11h p.m., and is at that time only 8" north of the star. The two actors in the celestial scene are below the hori- zon when the conjunction takes place. Jupiter is morning star. He is now passing throngh the constellation ecapricornus, where bright stars are few, and he bas the field to himeelf as he proceeds on his direct or enst- ward course, He is traveling slowly northward and is consequently coming into more favora- ble conditions for observation as far as north- ern observers are concerned. This planet is becoming more brilliant as he moves westward from the sun and will be readily recognized ata glance aaa superb morning star by those who command a view of the southeastern hori- zon. He risesabout two hours before the sun on the middle of the month, Venus is evening star and is too near the sun to be of much account to star gazers, She will emerge from her temporary obscurity be- fore many weeks pass, Observers blessed with good visual power may catch a glimpse of ber at the close of the month when she sets nearly an hour after the sun, She must be looked for soon after sunset about 3° north of the sun- set point. Mercury is morning star. There is nothing noteworthy in his course during the month, as he passes from western elongation to superior conjunction, being too near the sun to be visi- le. Uranus is morning star. He is near enongh to the earth to be visible to the naked eye and may be found 5° east of Spica, rising on the middle of the month soon after 8 o'clock. Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus are morning stars at the close of the month, Saturn, Neptune and Venus are evening stars The March moon fulls on the 6th at ih.47m. P m. She is in conjunction with Saturn on the th. the day before the full, at 3b.1im. am., being 2? 44’ north. She is in conjunction with Uuranus on the 9h at 1b.50m. p.m., being 4 M4 north, She makes a close connection with Mars on the 12th at 2h.2Im. p.m., being 53’ north, Observers between the limiting parallels 70° and 27° ~— north, who see the moon in her geocentric position, will be favored with an occultation of Mara, The moon is in conjunction with Jupiter on the 16th at 7h, 9m. p.m,, being 2° 36’ north, The waning moon, three days before her change, and the brilliant planct will make a fine celestial picture on the morning of the 17th, Our satellite is in con junction with Mercury on the 19th, theg day before her change, at 5h, 30m, a.m., being 2°39’ south, She is in conjunction with Venus, when only eleven hours old, on the Zist, at 2h. 56m, a.m., being 4° 4’ south.” She is in conjunc- tion with Neptune on the 25th at 6h. 24m. a.m., being 34’ north. She occults Neptune, for the | Christian enjoyment of observers, between the limitin, allels of 6° north and 66° south, who are so located that the moon is visible in her geocen- tric position.

The Validity of the Mississippi Law Af~ firmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States to day rendered a decision in the case of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railway against the state of Mississippi, involving validity of the Mississippi state law requiring all railroads operating within the state to provide separate compartments or cars for white and colored people. The question at issue was whether the law is a regulation of interstate commerce and therefore beyond the power of the state. This was not a civil action bronght by an in- dividual to recover damages for being com- pelled tooccupy one particular compartment or prevented from riding on the train and no aileged violation of personal rights was involved, The Supreme Court of Mississippi, when it decided the case, held that the statute applied solely to commerce within the state, and that construction being the constrretion of the statute by ite highest court, is accepted as conclusive by the Supreme Court of the United States in their decision to- day. The court sees no error in the ruling of the supreme court of Mississippi, and its judg- ment decision adverse to the railroad com- panies is afirmed, Judge Brewer read the opinion of the court, to which Justices Harlam and Bradley briefly dissented, THE COLD WAVE A SUCCESS. It Will Kill the Yellow Fever Germs in the South; it is Also Hard on Crops. Nobody can complain that the signal office slipped up on this cold wave prediction, for it has been as complete a success Ae Possible, The wave itself was of a very healthy Variety, and extended so far down south and bit so hurd that fears are entertained at the Weather shop that the orange and sugar crops may have been injured it nob killed.
