ARE WE OUT OF THE Woops? The Base Balf Situation and the Pros- pects, Bas A MATE BEEN FOUND FOR WASHINGTON AT LAST—CHANCES OF THE RETIREMENT OF PrTTs- BURG AND THE CAPITAL CLUB—IT STILL Looks LIKE EIGHT CLURS. On the 28th of February Tar Star said: Tur Stan has all along maintained that the chances of Washington enjoying league base ball during the coming season are very, very small. Whenthe owner of the | ie rights at the capital is sot only willing, but anxions to sell out, and the controlling powers of the ‘eagu : are desirous of reducing the num- ber of league clubs, itlooks very much as if arrangements might be made at the league Mneeting next month, to satisfy both sides,’ That such an arrangement was not consam- mated at the league meeting was not, as is well known, due to President Hewett’s firm- ness in demanding to remain in the league fold nor to the desire of eight of the other nine league magnates to hold on to him. but to the fact that the man who bad been selected to pair with him jumped the traces and clung to his claims of league membership. When Mr. Brush of Indianapolis was found to be unmanageable the league men were forced to prepare the sebedule for ten clubs, It would have been suicidal to drop only one club before another vietim had been found. Therefore the an- novncement Was m that Washington would be im the leagu otwithstanding that oft- repeated announcement the Washington club is uot yet a fixture in the league, and it will net surprise a good many people in Washington if noregular scheduled league game layed in Washington during the coming These are the people who read be- tween the lines of the announcements and who think they see indications of « fulfillment of the league men’s evident desire to reduce their numbers to eight clubs, . WILL IT BE PrrtsnuR@ As stated. the league meeting closed on a ten club basis, but it is argued that it was only a temporary arrangement. The men who were engineering the scheme of reduction required time to form a new combination, having failed to get Indianapolis out of the way. The indi- cation that they have found the key to the combination, comes this morning in ‘a pub- lished rumor of a consolidation of the Pittsburg and Cleveland clubs. This would permit the desired retirement of two clubs, one in the west and one in the east (Washington). There are those. however, who consider this report as only a feeler for what will eventually tuke place, the retirement of the Pittsburg club pure and simple. ‘The league would not listen to the exorbitant demands of Brush for the Indianapolis fran- chise and players. but with Pittsburg it is dif- ferent. Tha’ ¥ is a veritable nest of broth- erhood sympathizers. In no other city in the country are there so many base ball supporters according to population among the working- men as in Pittsburg. and knowing their natural leaning toward the brotherhood plans as typi- fying the rights of working people the backers of the Pittsburg league ciub are naturally Senator has put to me a great many conun- drumé, but I was never a member of the com- never had anything to do with the croation of this senatorial courtesy any more than to exercise it toward others in a very much more marked degree than it has been exercised by others toward myself. that has taken a great deal of time. though it be the most important bill, and might well pending in this Congress since I have known anything of it.

SURRENDERED AFTER A YEAR. A Marshal Follows a» Murderer Over Two Continents—Yields at Last. Among the passengers on the western ex- press on the Pennsylvania road that passed through Pittebarg Yesterday morning en route to the west was s couple of men that attracted general attention, partly on account of their appearance and partly because they were fas- tened together by a pair of steel handcuffs. The larger of the two wore a badge bearing the words “United States marshal.” He was an officer of Silver Cliff, a little mining town in Colorado, about fifty miles from Denver. His companion was gambler of-the name of Martin Cain. Nearly a year ago, while taking part in a poker game at Silver Cliff, a dispute arose, hot words followed, weapons were drawn and Cain shot and killed a prominent citizen of he town, who was taking part in the game. Before he could be caught the murderer had gtabbed the money on the table. nearly $3,000, and made his e: y Marshall James Hall followed him through Europe, but was never able to come up with him, At lust he learned that he had returned to America, Hall also returned and landed in New York last week. The day he arrived he met Cain on Broadway. The murderer came up to him and to the officer's surprise surren- dered himself. He said his conscience had troubled him so that he had determined to re- turn to Silver Cliff and stand the punishment for his crime. The pair are now en ronte there and the officer says the man is sure to be hanged. The prisoner says he feels a great deal better since giving himself up. Speed by Spurts. It is not by exceptional exhibitions of high speed that the real merits of roadway and ma- ery are best exemplified, but rather by every day performances. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company is still the only line maintaining a regular three-hour sehedule be- tween Washington and Philadelphia and a forty-five minute sehedule between Washing- ton and Baltimore.

Apropos of the reported consolidation of Cleveland and Pittsburg is an interview with Mr. Spalding sent out from Chicago, in which he says be does not think that the League will make any alterations in its schedule on account | | of the brotherhood schedule. In conclusion he said: “Of course. it is, as has alre been | ii : intimated. the hope of most of the league men that Indianapolis aud Washington will drop out, but that will not be forced upon those elubs. If they should drop out our schedule would necessarily have to be revised, with as few contticting dates as possible.” But here is something better from a more domestic and quite as authentic source. Presi- dent Young of the national league says: “At no time in the history of the league has there been such an unsatisfactory mec ng ae the oxe recently held at Cleveland. Nobody seemed to be satistied h the report of the schedule committee and the fact that fourteen games are cut off from each club by the in- sistance upon ten clubs created a great deal of friction. Despite this fuct Ido not place any credence in the statement to the effect that Cleveland and Pittsburg propose to consolidate orwhatever else it may be termed. Such a course would be suicidal and the team would be neither fish. flesh nor fowl so far as local in- terest would be concerned. Local interest is What maintains base ball in the United States, and nobody appreciates the fact more than the meu who are at the head of the national league today. It was demonstrated that such a move- meut as combining two clubs would not work when it was proposed to unite the Washington aud Baltimore teams and have games played alternately im the two cities.” There is no shrewder. better judge of base ball re ae than Mr. Young. He not only keeps hiniself posted in regard to matters re- Jating to the league itself, but is m constant communication with every possible source that will throw information on all the adjaceut base ball territory, k A FEW Sores.

Tim Keefe says he thinks that such men as Tucker, McKean and Duryea will be enjoined by the brotherhood for having jumped their contracts. It was certainly a most reprebensi- ble thing todo. How is your own conscience, ‘Timothy? —— en Mexico Not Willing to Part With Land. The committee on foreign relations reported to the Senate yesterday the petition of the fif- ‘eenth legislative assembly of Arizona asking the government to take steps for the acquit tion of such Mexican land adjoining that terri- tory as may be necessary to give to the terri- tory a deep water harbor on the gulf of Cali- fornia. The committee recommended that the matter be indefinitely postponed and that «- thon was taken. The reason for this adverse decision i» found in a letter of Secretary Blaine accompanying the petition in which he’ repli toa verbal inquiry of the chairman of the com- muttee as to the possibility of complying with the request of the legislative assembly. The Secretary says that the acquisition of Mexican territory is directly opposed to the spirit of the Mexican constitution and the sentiment of the Mexican people; that any legislative or execu. tive effort to bring it about would result in the inevitable overthrow of the ruling party in that country. He says that the United States is bound in honor not to ee to obtain the cession of Mexican territory.

From the New York Sun, Before a lineman arrived.a goat sauntered down the street, He was of the masculine gender and of an inquisitive turn of mind, He had long black and white hair and large eyes. He was on the opposite side of the street from the broken wire. The crowd attracted his attention and he started toward it, He was about half way across the street when he saw the blue flame coming apparently from the pavement. He stood still and sniffed the air a minute, and then apparently satisfied that there was no danger he walked slowly toward the wire with his nose to the ground. The crowd did not warn him. The silence was in- tense, Within three feet of the end of the wire the goat stopped again and sniffed. The wire wasn't sputtering so much then. The goat looked at it curiously, started to walk away and hesitated. The crowd heaved a sigh of disappointment. Whether the goat heard this and determined to see the thing through to the end it is not possible to say, but at any rate he turned again and walked up to Wa m10-4t POTURE Days. _ EEKS & CO., Auctioneers.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tae Stas on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circu- Jation of any other paper im Washing- ton! — 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing= ton is double that of all the ether dally Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion te reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news: paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation ef any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States 11! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery Attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION TN 1885-86-87-88-88. 1SS3. 1886. 1887. 1SSs, 1899, JAN...20,456 23,388 25,470 26,386 27,5461 --22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 JCLY. 21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 29,650 - 21,445 22,364 24.558 25,521 25,595 --21,033 22,302 24,905 25,326 25,478 -21,497 21,701 24,807 23,946 30,329 22,049 23,651 23,697 28.814 31,053 Dkc...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,652 25,483 27,082 30,090 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more tha 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation 1m the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO PORTION of 92% PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub i scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, an@ by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation theres fore gives Tae Sram a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the papery to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the fall satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business menof Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PaID OUT public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—im the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS FRINTED TT 785s 1887. ‘3615 3847 4,669 3478 3,393, 4,522 3,38L s170 4517 3,313 5,635, EEGUAGESGEE PEGRERS ELT | | | | ‘ToraL 41,499 45,910 354,038 54,581 635,323 But it is not alone in nambers that the great year 1889 as compared with that occupied in , 1884 is even more striking. ‘The average dally space filled by aflvertise: ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc, such as cocasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom ‘age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, ‘tm proportion to the extent and high charnctet f its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herein ‘made ean be abundantly verified THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND IT§ BOOKS ‘MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVIN@ ait DITEREST IN THEIB EXAMINATION.
