BASE BALL PROBLEMS Steps Toward Harmony Considered by League Representatives, VORDERBORST-YON DER ABE LETTERS Death of Lorenzo Brentano in e Chicago. WORK OF THE RAIN MAKERS. PROBLEMS FOK BASE BALLISTS. League Kepresentatives Trying to Think of a Poss Compromise. Sept. 18.—The magnates of the National League, who are deliberating at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, were conipletely snowed der this morning by an avalanche of repub- licen politicians who struck that hosteiry. To the man on the fence it 18 perfectly clear that the National League, with the exception, possibly, of New York and Boston, is willing to | make a compromise with the American Associ- ation. How to effect that compromise and at | the same time sacrifice as little of the ‘e's interests as possible is the problem ith which the delegates are wrestling. It galls the Boston triumvirate to think that nearly every city in the National League was able to | kill “off al: opposition with the death of the Players’ Leagu = Fleven o'clock was the hour et for the meet- ing. At that hour the only “magnates” pres- | ent were O'Neill of Pittsburg, Hart of Chieago | and Soden and Conant of Boston. resident Young came in later and the party retired to a quiet corner and talked over the sitnation. | The mecting was called to order at 11:30 o'clock with the full representation of delegates Present. ‘They were still im seasion at 1 o'clock. James A. Hart of Chicago says that peace is desired, not so much for the sake of gate re- ceipts at present as for the encouragement of | discipline in the ranks of the two organizations. Discipline is absolutely necessary for the pres- ervation of the gu Mr. Hart conceded a falling off in attendance ar as compared with former seasons. | Years ago with the winning elub which | Chicago has today the attendance in that city | | would have been doubled. ‘The falling off is {directly attributable to the war insti- {tuted “ by the Players’ League last j¥Year and fostered this season by the | American Association. Many patrons of the game have been weaned off to the race track and other sports, but Mr. Hart is confident that the game will be restored to its fullest pros- perity within another year. To this end the league will seek the co-operation of the asso- ciation. pets > eee VIEWS OF THE TWO VONS. The Baltimore Manager's Proposition to the St. Louls Manage! Sr. Lovis, Mo., Sept. 18.—The correspond- ence between Vonderhorst of the Baltimore club and Vor der Ahe of the St. Louis Browns is just made public by Von der Ahe, who is charged by Vonderhorst with being the first to broach the subject of going over to the league. It is as follows: “New Yors, Sept 12. “To C. Von der Ahe (strictly confidential). “Will St. Louis go into the league if Balti- more does? Answer immediately at Hoffman House, New York. This is business. (Signed) H. Voxpermonst.” ‘To which President Von der Ahe replied as follows: i. . Vonderhorst, Hoffman House, New York. “By no means will St. Louis desert the asso- ciation. Do not listen to the seductive prom- ises of the league. The league peop! ake all kinds of promives to get you, ssful, will then proceed to squeeze you. ‘You come to meeting at Cleveland next week. | Do not for an instant entertain any league proposition. (Signed) “C. Vox DER ANE.” Vonderhorst then sent the following: “C. Von der Ahe, St. Louis: Have conferred | only with Robertson of Cleveland in the move to join the league in # manner purely business.” ‘Do not hold your heroic views regarding the association. Heretofore only the personal interests of others have been considered when my interests were at stake. (Signed) “H. Voxpernonst.” Von dor Abe left for Lonisville Inst night. a MAKING RAIN IN TEXAS, Some Important Tests to Be Tried This After- noon. Sr. Loum, Sept. 18.—The Post-Dispatch staff correspondent with the government rain- makers at El Paso, Tex., wires as follows: ‘The active work of sky bombardmen: was commenced by Mr. Ellis and his associates shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Jennings was first on the scene apd his grand explosives of rock-a- | rack and dynamite were soon popping merrily away upon the top the Franklin mount. Then the mortars were trained and the 2I-pound bombs were sent whizzing heavenward to explode 500 feet above. | As soon as the hydrogen apparatus could be got into shape the filimg of one of the stock builoons was commenced. The first cau hardly be placed in readiness for an ascension before 1 o'clock. Four or five others will be exploded before dark. ‘The con- ditions are, in the proper scientific sense, more ‘favorable today than yesterday. True, there are clouds above, but they are thin. What moisture is contained was precipitated between 10 and 11 o'clock, rain falling almost continually for perhaps au hour. “To prove the immense force exerted on the air-currents by even a slight explosion Mr. Ellis, the hero of the sensational ascension of yesterday, relates » peculiar experience. Whilo was almost a mile above ground and possibly three or four miles from the starting point Prof. Kessler exploded some half dozes charges of dynamite. The charges were small, of the explosive weighing each one- 1, being set off said . effects of this explosion. saw puff of smoke. A few seconds later came the dull deadened reports and to my surprise the side of the balloon nearest the | with a sharp crack. The folds continued to quiver and vibrate from the effects of the shock for several seconds after. If that doesn’t conclusively prove that explo- sions cause a commingling of upper air cur- | {rents I would like to know why, and if| tho concussion resultant upon that charge | of only two pounds of dynamite should pro- duce such results what must be the effect on | the currents when we touch off one of those | balloons containing 800 cubic feet fof one of the most werful plosives ever invented? My instruments | worked perfectly and the data I obtained is already on record.” ‘The experiments today are being witnessed by the same immense crowd which watched the ascension yestera; —__ ACCIDENTS, | Bursting ef » Boller and an Emery Wheel. | Cuanpox, Ouro, Sept. 18—-A report has | reached this city of the killing of three men at Montville, ten miles from here, this morn- ing. The boiler in Vansise's jelly fac- | tory exploded with terrific force, entirely | demolishing the building. There is no telegra- | phic communication with Montville.

Rocurstar, N. Y., Sept. 18.—Gen. Isaac F. Quimby died here this morning, aged seventy years. Gen. Quimby was born in Morris county, N. J. He graduated from Princeton, and then ontored West Point Military Academy, being a classmate of Gen. Grant. He stood about as near the head of the class as Grant did the foot. Soon after he was made professor of mathematics apd natural history. In June, 1847, he distributed a body of troops to Gen. Taylor's command on the Rio Grande. In 1849 he sailed for Vera Cruz with recruits for the army of Gen. Scott. On the march from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico Lieut. Quimb: served as assistant adjutant general to Col. Howe, who commanded the reinforcing army. At ‘the close of the Mexican war Lieut. Quimby was ordered first to Fortress Monroe, Va., aud then to Fort Adame, K. L. September, 1351, he resigned his commission to accept tho professorship of mathematics and natural philosophy in the University of Rochester. On the breaking out of the rebellion Prof. Quimby organized the thirteenth New York Yolunteers (the first regiment raised in New York state under the call for 75,000 men) and remained with the regiment as colonel through- out the disastrous Bull Ran campaign, and, indeed, until the three months for which it Lad ‘been mustered into the service of the United States had expired, when he re- sumed bis chair in the ‘university. In March, 1862, he was commissioned bri wen of volunteers and — avs to duty at Columbus, Ky., with instructions to construct batteries to prevent rebel gun boats from ascending the Missiosippt and Ohio rivers. In October, 162, he was ordered to the com- mand of a division in the army of the Tennes- see, under Gen. Grant, and remained with that army throughout the Mississippi c mn, until the last assault on Vicksburg, v3 1863. Iu the spring of 1863 Gen.’ Quimby Was ordered with his division to the command of the Yazoo Pass expedition, during which ex- posure and malaria implanted in his system of disease from which he nover recov- ered. At the close of the civil war Gen. Quimby resumed his chair in the University of Roeh- ester, but duting the eight years of President Grant's administration he’ was relieved of a portion of his college duties and held the office of United States marshal for the northern dis- trict of the state of New York. eisai Heian COMING TO THE FAIR. ‘The Government of the Netherlands Will Be Represented. Curcaco, Sept. 14.—Advices have been re- ceived at world’s fair headquarters that Samuel R. Thayer, United States minister at The Hague, Holland, has written the State Department at Washington that Holland will probably ac- cept the invitation to participate in the expo- sition. Mr. Thayer writes that ho presented Commissioners Bullock and Lindsay, Mr. Chas. H. Grosvenor, special agent of the Treasury Department, and Mr. C. Ives, chief of the art department, to tho Holland ministers of foreign affairs, of commerce and industries, of the interior and of the colonies. “The interview in each case,” be writes, “was brief and informal, remarks being con- fined to a statement of the plane and purposes of the exposition and answers to such in- quiries as were suggested in the course of the dis- cussion. Each membec ofthe ministry, in conclu- sion, expressed great solicitude for the success of the exposition, Il as the belief that the government of the Netherlands would accept the President's invitation and provide for an official representation. THE GERMAN MANEUVERS, Comparisons Made With the French to the Latter’s Advantage. Loxpox, Sept. 18.—The German maneuvers in Alsace-Lorraine are concluded, with the ex- ception of those of the fifteenth army corps, still engaged in maneuvering in Lower Alsace near the garrison towns. All the other troops have returned to their respective garrisons. Gen, Von Schlichteng, commander of the four- teenth corps and under whose direction the general movement, with which the exercises closed, was held, been complimented by the kaiser, both on the efficiency of bis men and his own complete command of the tactics of war. The appearance of the troops engaged, ac- cording to a Paris correspondent, did not com- pare favorably with that of the troops last Year, and the sume critic draws an unfavor- able comparison between the French and Ger- man reviews. The Germans pride themselves on their artillery, but in this respect also tho by ‘comparison, while the increasing range of rifics ie making the efficient use of the artillery more and more of a problem. _ AMERICAN WINES. It is Predicted That Europe Will Rely Upon ‘Them Before Many Years. Cuicaco, Sept. 18.—Edward S. Clayburn, = prominent vineyard owner of California, who is in the city on his return from a European tour, said last night in an interview: “traveled throngh all the famous grape- growing sections in Spain, Italy, France and Germany, and I am convinced that inside of ten years the old world will have to rely upon this country almost entirely for its supply of first-class wines, I had read a good deal about the devastation among the European vineyards caused by phylloxera, mildew, the black and brown rot and other diseases of the vine, but Thad no conception how completely yzed the grape-growing industry is in Eu- rope until! made this trip. In France and Italy nearly three-fourths of the vineyards have been altogether wiped out by phylloxera within five years, and the remaining one- fourth of the acreage is rapidly succumbing to the plague. Five years ago Spain produced six times the amount of grapes that were har- vested from last year's crop, and the situation in Germany is alniost as bad. “Science has been appealed to to save the industry from utter ruin, but with scarcely any success. It will not be long,” concluded Mr. Clayburn, “before the United States will lend the world in the production of grapes and nes. er AWAITING THE PROCLAMATION. Boomers at Guthrie Impatient for the News. Gvrunre,0. T., Sept. 18.—Prospective settlers are awaiting with much impatience the Presi- dent's proclamation permitting them to enter and claim their homesteads on the lands recently obtained from the Indians. Most of the boom- ers have already gone as far as the border and need only the word from Washington to send them over the line. Each party of boomers | had left one of their number at Guthrie to act as couriers to carry the news that the lands are opened when the official announcement is made here. There are about 1,500 boomers writes here for the word and on the border fully 3, jople are guthered. Many towns people have | Joined the restand some of the factories and stores are left very short handed. One notable fact concerning the people who intend to settle in the new land is that large numbers of them— nearly half, it is estimated—are negroes. ‘They have come tracted here by the advertisements of two colo- nization societies, one heeded by the noted negro Langston and the other by ox-Auditor MeCabe, colored, of Kansan. ‘The exeitement among the boomers in this city is great. .Hundreds ‘of people surround the newspaper offices and the gov sion, anxious to get the first news that the Pres- ident has opened the lands to settlement. The crowds are composed of Indians, cowboys, gamblers and home seckers, white ‘and black. The United States marshal has increased his force of deputies to 100 men to assist in keop- ing the peace. ‘The crowds are, on the whole, good natured and no distur! have oc- curred so far. ————— HIS FATAL PERVERSENESS, Two Members of « Connecticut Military Company Shét by Thetr Comrade, Wiuutasnie, Coxs., Sept. 18.—A fatal acei- dent occured here yesterday at the practice shoot of company G, Putnam, and company E, Wilimantic, third regiment, C.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Torexa, Kax., Sept. 16, 1891. A year ago Kansas was the camping ground of the people's party leaders. They came here from North Carolina, Georgia, Ala- bama and other sections of the south. A year prior Terrill, Macune, Turner and others bad planted the seed which grew, blossomed and ripened into the peoples party. At that tim hawover, the alliance Shia pected forerunner, was weleomed by all classes of citizens. It was a non-partisan organ- ization and its obligation did not conflict with religious or political opinions Life-long republicans looked on the movement with suspicion becanse it was officered by southern democrats, and they did not hesitate to tell Polk, Livingston and others so. This objection was removed, however, when the Kansans were assured that in the south alliance men wereall democrats and in Kansas they could remain all republicans. ‘Political discussions” were not tolerated in the alliance. Republican: and democrats alike went into the alliance by thousands. Within a period of two months the organization spread into every school district in the state. Then it was that the state was Visited by a horde of traveling lecturers, who went from schooi house to school house. and commenced the agitation which has unsettled politics and arrayed the farmers against other classes. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. Then came the organization of the people's party, and with it came Polk, Livingston and other southern leaders of the alliance move- ment. They were urged to come here by local leaders who had been in the old greenback movement help in launching the new party. Polk and Livingston were stumped a great many times when confronted by republicans who wanted to know if the south was ready to meet Kansas half way in the severing of uld party ties. They were reminded of tho fact that ‘lillman of South Carolina, Northen of Georgia and Buchanan of Ten- nessee were alliance men, and that they were indorsed by the democratic party. the democracy and the alliance in the south were one the Kansas republicans were a little bit desirous to know why certain southern gentlemen were so anxious to array them against their party. “If the alliance was purely non-partisan, why should Kansas _re- publicans be asked to leave their party? Why not work out these reforms within the republi- ¢an party as the alliance men in the south wero doing through the democratic party? ‘These were hard nuta for Polk and Livingston to crack, and right here was the beginning of the third | party movement in the south. Tt was done in this way: Every republican paper in the state commenced pouring Not shot into the alliance movement, referring to it as a democratic nid society, designed only to disorganize and disrupt’ the republican party in Kansas an tho east. It waa held that Tillman, alliance man, was elected governor of South Carolina as @ democrat, Buchavan; alliance man, was elected governor of Tennessee as a democrat; Northen of Georgia,an alliance man, but elected asa democrat; Livingston of Georgia, sn alli- ance man, but elected to Congress as a demo- crat. And scores of other instances were cited to prove that alliance and democracy in the south meant the same thing. Editorials from the Scuthern Alliance Farmer and other organs were quoted to sustain the above statement. No opportunity was lost to convince republicans who had gone into Polk and Livingston's ‘“non-partisan” movement that they were pulling democratic chestnuts out of the fire, aud it had its effect. ALLIANCE MEN Go SOUTH. Peffer, Jerry Simpson and other leaders of the movement in Kansas saw that something must be done to hold their forces together. Late Fepublicans were dropping out one by une and going back to the old party and the new movement was losing many voters. council of war was held, and it was decided that a conference with Polk, _——. Ma- cuneand others must be had e leaders got together and Polk and Livington were told that to maintain a people's party in Kansas there must be a breaking up of the democracy As long as alliance men stuck to the democratic party down there it would be impossible to hold the republicans of Kansas in the people's movement. Peffer and Simpson declared that there would be no trouble in ring Kansas, Nebraska and the two Dakotas people's ticket, provided the south “toted but it must cut loose from the democracy. Polk and Livingston agreed with Peffer and Simpvon, but they pleaded for a little time to educate the people and to get them in » frame ot mind ready for the change. Livingston had been elected to Congress by the democrats, and he did not wish to lead off. Polk was ready at anytime. The Ocala convention was held and @ platform was framed which the democracy could not indorse. This would be their excuse to disrupt an old Party in the south. Another part of the program, it {s stated, was to be fulfilled, and it was carried ont to the let- tor. Jerry Simpson, ex-Congressman Weaver and Mrs. Lease were to go to Georgia and start the third party ball to rolling. They did it, and on their return to Kansas felicitated them- selves over the great success of their meetings. POLK NOW IN KANSAS. President Polk has been here in Kansas for the past week attending alliance meetings. He came here on urgent solicitations of the Kansas leaders. Simpson, Peffer and othersimpressed upon him the importance of this tour of the state in order to stiffen up the backbones of their followers, who had about concluded that there was to be no third party in the south. Polk, being at the head of the National Alliance, came to tell the Kansas farmers ofticially that there will be a third party in the south next year in every state and in every congressional district, and he did it. I asked him if the alliance in the south would Go into the third party next year. “We may be driven into it,” he said. “Who will drive you in?” was ventured. “The old polit bosses and politicians.” “Are they fighting the alliance?” “Yes, sir. They have nothing too mean to say of us.” “Who do yo mean by ‘us? “I mean the alliance.” Mr. Polk vehemently declared that the peo- ple’s party would sweep every southenn state. “We propose to fight this battle out on the Ocala platform and bury both old parties. I am neither a democrat’ nor a republican. I don’t care how much they abuse me. Iam in this battle to the finish.” He suid that he was satisfied that Cleveland would be the democratic nominee, but he could not be elected. ‘The south, he said, was solid against him and would never vote for him. “It matters not,” be said, “what old parties do; they aro doomed, and’ the new people's party will sweep the country. I predict that within six years the people of the west and south will be centered Saitad the east, and the fight will be between the people and Wall street. Whon asked what position the alliance in the south took on the pension question and why the Ocala convention didn’t 4 ne its position on this matter he said it was above party plat- forms and that the alliance was in favor of pen- ning the soldiers of the Union army. have decided to let that question rest as settled. All we ask is that the pension system be not abused. We are willing for our north- ern brethren to draw their pensions and wo will never raise our voice against it.” PEOPLE'S PARTY LEADERS NERVOUS. The leaders of the people's party in Kansas aro growing nervous because many of their last year's supporters havo deserted them and re- turned to their old parties. A great many re- publicans went into the movement last your on tho promise of Col. Pol and Col. n, when they were in Kansas, that the democrats of the southern states would join thom and leave the old party. Ex-republicans have been waiting eagerly for some evidence of this desertion of democ- racy in the south, and as it did not materialize the third party leaders of Kansas issued their tikes and dome nded_ that Cols. Polk and Liv. jngston procee: ver, the goods promised last year. It war decided that Col. Polk shonid come to Kaneas and hold a series of mee and explain thie matter.

The scheduled bids for paving rondways un- der the permit system were forwarded to the Commissioners today by Capt. Rossell with the recommendation that contracts be made with all except when the price of asphalt block pave- ment 1s more than $2 per square yard. DAMAGE TO STREETS BY TEMPORARY TRACKS. An order was issued some time ago by the board of Commissioners requiring the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company to resurface the asphalt streets where the tempo- rary tracks were Inid or where they shall be iid during the reconstruction of the yoad, In a letter to the Commissioners today Capt. Rossell calls attention to this and says that 4 company has made no effort to repair these places aud as winter will soon be upon us rec- ommends that the company be required to commence this work within the next fifteen ys. NEW AXD OLD CURBING. In response to the inquiry of the computing engineer of the District for instructions re- garding the use of new and old curb on street improvements Capt. Rossell says thet all streets in the city or county that are permanently im- roved should have granite curb either six by Erenty inches or eight by cight inches, Ox streets that are graded or regulated old curb should be used. He urges the Commissioners to carefully consider this matter, ax it will gor sult in considerable expense to tae prop owners. LAYING RAILS WITHOUT A PERMIT. Capt. Rossell has called the attention of the Commissioners to the work of the Metropolitan Railroad Company in changing the old style of rails to the new approved pattern, which it is doing without a permit. This should be required,+ he and cites as an instance of the evils likely toresult from doi work without permits the condition of street northwest between I and Massachusetts avenue, where the grade is wrong, leaving the rails of the road three or four inches above the pavement. He recommends that au order be issued re- quiring the company to make good all fanly work and forbidding it doing any other w. until permits are taken out for the same. WANTS TO DO IT BY Day's Wonk. The last District appropriation act provided | €2,000 cach for the improvement of Pierce afd Fillmore streets, Anacostia. Capt. Rossell writes to the Engineer Commissioner to- day stating that what is needed to be dono on these streets is more in the nature of repair work and laying sidewalks than it is of new work, and under these circum- stances says it would’ seem inadvisable to ad- vertise the work and recommends thatthe same be done by day labor by the superintendent of county roads.
