New Yoax, March 3.—The delegates to the National League base ball meeting. were slow in getting together this morning. Ex-President Allen W. Thurman of the American Association arrived early in company with J. Palmer O'Neill of Pittsburg. Mr. Thurman was in the best of humor. He did not | seom at all disturbed over the manner in which 0¢1 iad rboard nan is still preside: n, and will therefore take no small ‘part in the councils of the Notional Duamess to be transacted by adoption of a schedule. The committee, consisting of Mesars. Brook); Reacl may be fin 7. cided is whether the the signing of players ly under contract with the American *Association. On this ques- tion the delegates seem to be evenly divided. ‘MR. THURMAN'S BELIEF. Ex-President Thurman, in common with the league magnates, expresses the belief that the American Association will die of its own folly. Mr. Thurman says he told Chris von der Ahe, when the latter came to his office in Columbus for the books, that Chris would be on the of repentance inside of a month. Thurman has a very small opinion of Billy Barnie, the Baltimore manager. Barnie has been yelling so much about contract breaking, he says, and so Thurman put in one bunch ali the papers in the case of Childs, the Syracuse player with whom Barnie is alleged to have transferred, and Thurman wants barnie to'rcad them over, as he says, carefully. ‘ “As president of the American Association,” said Mr. Thurman, “I should have been giad to give these disptited players to iy organiza | tion, but in all justice I was forced to vote to | give them to the League.” DELEGATES CONVENED. The delegates convened shortly after 2 | o'clock. The constitution of the league will be | revised in some particulars before any other business is touched upon. Instend of occupy- ing one day, as was at first thought, it now looks as though the meeting will last’ two or three days. ‘The schedule will not be reached probably till tomorrow afternoon or evening. question in regard to the advisability of signing American Asgociation players who are shall countenance under contract | forms the | uppermost topic of conversation. It is thought that the majority of the delegates are op- ato the ‘signing of" such players. Bevis Hawley of Cloveland, who Pitcher Frank Knause after ‘the latter had signed with Columbus, contends that he had a fect legal right to engage his man. The idea that no American Association contracts are valid after the break from the national agreement does not seem to be much encour- aged. The feeling against the American Asso- ciation is very bitter, but it is not likely to induce the National League delegates to make any rash move which will plunge the base ball world into another war such as last season saw. MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION. Sr. Louis, Mo., March 3.—Chris Von Der Ahe has called a meeting of the schedule committee of the association to be held at the Burnet there all the business to be sottled up bearing on the season of 1891 will be transacted. ‘THE INTEBNATIONAL LEAGUE.

How They Have Grown Since They Were Distributed in the House. ‘The result of the struggle to put miscelia- ‘neous items on the appropriation bills is still in doubt. Therefore it is not possible at this time to tell just what the aggregate of the-ap- Propriations for the session will be. These mis- | - enormously the rush of the closing hours of the session. At the close of the last scesion s “very liberal” estimate was made by the At this time it is just as uncertain how much these items will add to the regular definite ap- propriations, It is safe to say, however, that the aggregate of all the appropriations will ex- ceed $85,000,000; possibly it will be eonsider- able more. This is an immonso inerense over any ceeding Congress. It is a significent fact baat ever since there was a division of labor on the appropriation bills, some of Doing distributed among’ other committecs the House, there has a rapid increase of expenditures. ‘The increase this time is ter than fc . but it may be as only in line with the course of events since the distribution of labor occurred.

Today thare are six bills in conference—the Indian, the post office, the agricultural, the nsion, the legislative and the general de- ciency. THE MATURING DISTRICT BONDS. Mr. Grout Hopes to Have the Bill Providing for a New Issue Passed. The fact that the conference committee had stricken out from the District appropriation bill all provisions for meeting the ma- turing 1891 bonds of the District necessitated that some action should be taken in the matter. Today an earnest effort has been made by Gen. Grout to bring about a settlement of the question, and some time this afternoon or night he will be recognized to move to sus- pend the rules and pass the bill reported by the District committee providing for @ new issue of 38!¢ per cent bonds to meet the bonds falling «ue. ‘The chances are that this will be the Inst bill relating to the Dis- trict to pass this session. ANXIETY AT THE DISTRICT OFFICES. The statement that Congress has failed to provide means for paying off bonds of the Dis- trict sent Commissioner Douglass hurrying Capitelwards today. He consulted with his colleagues and it was decided to make an effort to have Mr. Grout’s refunding bill reported and passed. Auditor Petty today ‘sid that if no provision was made now for paying off the bonds as they fell due the result would be simply that the coupons for the interest which falls due July 1, 1891, will be paid and Congress at its Decetaber session will asked to make further provision. At the Capitol this afternoon Commissioner Douglass saw Chairman Grout and explained the situation to him, and the two spoke to Speaker Reed. ‘The latter sald he understood ie importance of the matter, and would do all in his power to arrange matters so that the bill could be taken up.

CONGRESSMEN WHO CALL. There are not many members of Congresscall- ing on the President during these rushing bours, when their presence is so often necessary at the other end of the avenue. Still, there are enough of them dropping in on the chie! magistrate to kecp him from becoming lone- some. Here one sees a retiring Represeutative,there an ousted Senator, and occasionally one of those rare creatures, a newly elected republi- can member, but theydo not all go on the same errand. Those of tho former sorts are bent on one line of thought, and it takes very little discernment to see what it is, while the newcomers want to sce “what sort of a man he is after all.” There is probably only a discreet amount of actual campaigning for places at the White House, but there is ever so much force in pergonal presence, and no one knows this better than the average Congressman who is jist on the eve of bowing his way out of the inc of public vision. } 4 PARCHMENT sxOw STORM. But all is submerged in the White House at- mosphere by the everlasting bill. It is to be seen on the desk of the busy private secretary, with a cabinet officer's opinion as to ite worth jamed upon it, ready, for, submission to the residential chirography; it may also be seen Beattered over three desks, between which the busier assistant pfivate secretary flutters; it may be seen piled high on the desks of two or three clerke, who have all they can do to record them and see that it does not get lost; and at last it can be imagined, but not®seen by the eye of the public, forming’s legislative counterpane all over the desk of the President, a rapidly shifting succession of sheepskin that is hard to write on and harder to read. This presence, this hovering spirit of fon- nal action, this grind of name signing, phere at the mansion. Everyone is wrought upto a high tension. Nerves are strained, fingers are busy, brains are tired, feet a lame, and through it all is heard ‘a wail of agony, “Ob, that it were but over.” ‘THE CABINET MEETING. The cabinet meeting this morning was at- tended by all of the members. Secretary Foe- ter announced his intention to depart for the land of the buckeyes next Saturday, when the hurly burly is done. He will 5 at least ten days in his ork of straightening up matters at Fostoria sufficiently to allow himself to think finance and silver uninterruptedly after his re- rn. He said to a Stan reporter that he-was amazed by the vast multitude of details that the Treasury work involves. He realizes that it will take him some time to pick up the threads of his duties, and in the meantime he is leaning heavily on the staff of support and aid afforded by the experience of Gens. Nettleton and Spaulding and Private Secretary Hendley. TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER. Attorney General Miller met Gov. Foster Just in front of the White House and as they went in they got to talking about the weather. ‘The governor remarked that the snow storm was a good argument for a change of the date of the inauguration and the Attorney General. re- jonded: ‘That's so! I don’t think that George ‘ashington showed any better sense in his bis selection of an inauguration day than he did in selecting the location of the Potomac river,” and right on their heels came Secretary Rusk, who said something about being “bad ‘for the crops,” aw they all went upstairs to the meet- ing. seosion was a short one, being over be- fore 1 o'clock, as nt needs all the time he can get to spend at his desk amid his parchments.
