TUESDAY, 21, 1893—TEN PAGES. 1 SPORT OF ALL SORTS Dissatisfaction of Local Base Ball) Club Directors. | j ARRANGING FUR THE BIG PRIZE FIGHT | Opening of the Bench Show in’ New York City. iz | DISSATISFIED BASE BALL mamrene | ‘They Disagree With the Club Owners and | Kesign. ‘ ce, Brooklyn's third baseman, will go to | Washington, and it is said that Buck Ewing will | be transferred tothe Washington club,” said John Ward, the New York bail player, last night. Joyce and Ewing for Richardson would satisfy the local base bail patrons, for each has ‘that dash and snap that are wanted on the local team. If they play the game they are capable of playing they would immensely strengthen the team. Ward's remark shows that no deal bas ret been made for Richardson, although one is quietly being pushed. ‘The resignation of Messrs. Scanlon and White, the local directors of the Washington | club,~“on account of dissatisfaction with the | methods of the Philadelphia owners and man- agers, was announced at base bail headquarters yesterday afternoon. Some of the reasons Given for their action are not entirely | eccurate. As Richardson has not yet Le disposed of they did not resign be- cause he had been let go. The dissatis- | faction is not of recent date. It began last | eeason. In fact, it originated in the dismissal of Manager Parnie and the engagement of Ar- thur Irwin in defiance of the wishes of the majority of jocal patrons. Irwin's cheese- ring policy cut down the expenses of the ome club, but it alse wrecked the team, the | local directors claim, and discouraged them. when they fond!y hoped that a liberal and far- sighted policy would be adopted by the club owners. But the desire to retrench at all haz. ards beeam2 eo manifest in the fall, when old players were released and cheap amateurs were engaged, that local directors could repress their dissatisfaction no longer. It was known last November before the Chicago meeting that Richardson would be released. Tue Stan an-| nounced it at the time. Other things have | since taken place which have made the local | directors believe that the club owners do not | have at heart Washington's base ball interests. Right or wrong in this opinion, as the case may be, they have resigned. It is unlikely that their successors will be chosen before the annual club meeting in March. ' | TO MEET IN CANADA. | ‘The Details of the Mitchell-Corbett Fight to Be Arranged Saturday. There is every reason to believe that Mitchell and Corbett will be matched in Canada next Saturday. But one or two details for the meet- ing remain tobesettled. The principals agreed upon David H. Blanchard as temporary stake- holder, and sent him a telegram asking if he would hold the money. Yesterday the fol- lowing reply came back; “Telegram just re- ceived; impossible for me to go to Canals.” From another source it was learned that Mr. Blanchard’s health is such as to prevent him from making the journey, but if the money is handed to him in Boston he will hold it. A telegram from Tom O'Brien of Syracuse yes- terday suggested that James Banfield’s hotel on the Canadian side at Niagara would be an ex- cellent place to arrange the match. and it is not unlikely that O'Brien's suggestion will be adopted. Squire Abington is considerably puzzled over the difficulties encountered in arranging con- ‘teste which are permitted by law. “We will not go to New Jersey to make the match,” he said. “it is unlawful in New York; it must be so in an adjoining state, and we shall break no laws. We will meet Mr. Brady in Canada, as we agreed to last Saturday. Mitchell, the Squire and Mr. Abrahams left for Lakewood in the afternoon to return to the Gedney House in the evening. roprictor of the hotel a low up the house with Mr. Some one sent the note threatening to dynamite if Mitchell were not ejected. Brugh does not expect an explosion, New Yous, Feb. 21.—A special from Nia: Falls says: Ata special meeting of the common ecaueil last night in view of the signing here of articles of agreement between Corbett and Mitebell next Saturday a motion was submitted by Councillors Hannan and Smythe that the police authorities be notified to arrest the inter- ested parties. The motion was defeated. The action was taken under the following section: “Every one who sends or publishes or causes to be published or otherwise makes known any challenge to fight or prize fight, or accepts any | such challenge, or causes the same to be ac- cepted, or gocs into training preparatory to | such fight, or acts as trainer or second to. any | ‘who intends to engage ina prize fight, | 3s guilty of a misdemeanor and liable on sam- mary conviction to a penalty of not exceeding £€1,000 and not less than #100, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or both.” Legal opinion here is that the visitors cannot be interfered with. Lawrence Mannion of Boston writes that he ‘will wager $25,000 to 215,000 or $100,000 to £960,000 that Corbett knocks Mitchell down and out in six rounds. WILL SEE 1,492 Dogs.

A notice- able feature of the week's mortality is the com- | paratively large number of elderly persons who passed away. There were thirty four of these who were over sixty years of age, large pro- portion of whom were in the seventies and eighties. Of the contagious diseases diph- theria seems to be on the decline, there having been but six cases reported, with one death therefrom. and thirteen cases of scarlet fever reported with no death.

Charles Lever never was the English ambas- sador at Brussels. He never even belonged to the logation there. A’ the instance of Sir John Crampton, then secretary to the British lega- tion at Brussels, Lever went to that city and | practiced medicine there with some success, but was not surgeon to the legation, though it is sometimes stated that he was. In 1857 he was appointed British consul at Spezzia and in 1867 he was uppointed consul at Trieste by Lord Derby, with the observation, ‘Here is six hun- dred a year for doing nothing and you are just the man to do it.” He died at Trieste in 1872. How your correspondent could make such a mistake I foil to see. Lever had more wit, humor, animal spirits, rollicking glee, vigorous intellect, more brains, in fact, than all the inanities that posed for | diplomats and set men by the ears who lived and paraded as ambaseadors during his lif The whole lot put together could not have | afforded one-tenth of the genuine enjoyment | and delight that bas been given to the English- | speaking people of his own and future time by Versatile, incomparable Charles Lever.

The latter testified that the fire was in the closet and the smoke was issuing | therefrom, and the accused was the only one in the kitcben at the time. The boy apprared to | be confused. and he drove him off | at once. Milton Mantz, the son, testified | that his mother scented the smoke and asked the prisoner where it was, and he denied that there was any and when they | opened the closet the fire broke out. He then said he had throyn a rag in the closet and = did not offer to put it out. | The government at this point abardoned the caseand the court said that the case was of sus- picion only and dire-ted a verdict of not guilty. | Mr. Mantz stated that even if the boy was guity he had been punisked enough. . — Transfers of Real ate.

MERITS OF THE DIFYERENT SITES DISCUSSED— SENATORS MANDERSON.AND VEST THE PRINCI- PAL #PEAKERS—THE JOHNSON AND ONE. LOTS MOST REFERRED To. . The anticipated debate on the amendment to the sundry civil bill providing for the purchase of a site and the erection of a new government printing office was precipitated yesterday after- noon and the remainder of the day was devoted to @ discussion of the merits on the different sites proposed. The fight is nothing more than & personal one between the committee of public buildings and grounds, which recommends the Mahone site. which is the south half of square 673, and the joint committee on printing,which has selected the Johnson rite, which is square 713. A third proposition will probably be sub- mitted today by Mr. Gallinger, who desires an enlargement of the present site. MR. MANDERSON REVIEWS THE CONTROVERSY. The debate was opened by Mr. Manderson, | who at some length reviewed the controversy and the history of the attempt to obtain a site and new government printing office. When the committee had made its decision in favor of the Snow property or old base ball park imme- dintely there came that attack which seems in- cident to every attempt to purchase, property for public use within the District. Mr. Man- derson then explained how the matter finally narrowed down to a selection between the John- son site and the Mahone site. Of the two sites he «nid: “The committee very carefully examined these lots, as they had been examined in times past. There has been nochange in the last two or three years worth mentioning in the surface of the Johnson lot. It has been used for practical purposes. It is now, as it has been for a long time past, a coal yard, in which there run the coal cars and tke coal is taken out incarts, It has not been dressed up for the parpose of exploration. THE MAHONE LOT. “The first time Ieaw the Mahone lot it was very different in appearance from that it has had for some months past. It had been an open common. It had been the receptacle for years of the refuse of the neighborhood. The empty cans and the dead eats of commons had been thrown there. It was an unsightly place. True, it had been filled, and showed the fact that there had been filling. ' But as the time for investign- tion and proposals came the Mahone lot became well dressed upon its surface. It was smoothed over. ‘The unsightly objects were removed. “T think there ras ev effort to sow it in oats or grass, so as to make it present upon the surface n good appearance, and it ix on the sur- face a good-looking lot, but those who look upon it today do not see it as it was some ago. The remarkable fact exists that under this smooth surface there is not only the course of Tiber creek, but the sewer itself crosses that lot upon its west side.” Mr. Butier—My information is that Tiber creck runs under one corner, and that a very small part of it. ‘Tiber ereek ‘and the sewer do not oceupy one-third of it, I understand. Mr. Vest—Not one-fourth. Mr. Butler—Not one-fourth. That is my in- formation. BETTER INFORMATION. Mr. Manderson—I think I have better in- formation, which I will give to the Senator. I have here a map of the Mahone lot, which shows all of block 673. Now, mark the ob- jection urged by those who advocated the pur- chase of the Mahone lot when the Snow lot was proposed to be purchased was that Tiber creek tan through it. Upon exploration we found that through one corner, and a very small cor- ner of that lot Tiber creek did formerly run, but when the sewer came to be placed it was not placed across the Snow or the base ball lot, but in this block 673, which is composed of four araliel pieces of ground, 121 feet in width by 782 feet in length, and through the entire south half, from one side clear across to the other, there ran not only Tiber creek, but the main sewer of the city of Washington passes thers to- day. RAILROAD FACILITIES, The discussion turned on the question of the sewer and was discussed quite fully. While ad- voeating the selection of the Johnson site, Mr. ies and I think the people of this city and those who are interested in this government have too long stood the infliction of these two railways of the Baltimore and Ohio system coming into this town from the Boundary as they do, When the present Metropolitan bsanch is abandoned there will be no railroad by the side of the Mahone lot and it will be moved at its east end a distance of two biocks— one block divided into two. I see it is an en- tire block from the future road. So, if this road is to come in on Delaware avenue by the side of the Johnson block on an elevation it must Tun into the building on the Mahone lot upon an elevation just as it would run into the Jol son lot on an elevation. “In either event you must go upon an ele- vated road, for there is no distance sufficient to permit a grade upon which loaded cars may be drawn from the Malone lot to the graded «ur- face of the new line which is projected on Dela- ware avenue. But Isee no objection toa railroad | entering upon this tract of land to be used for the purpose of public printing upon an elevated line. Ithink it is decidedly better. Modern | depots and stations and freight depots of tHe country which are being built, particularly through the west and in the heart of cities, are entered upon elevated roads, and there is great convenience and great eafety in that proposi- tion. “What would be the advantage here? In the first place, the roads entering the grounds of the public ‘printing establishment would not enter upon the surface and there would be less danger to human life. The employes entering the establishment on the first floor would pass under the elevated road rather than on the same plane with it. ‘Then, too, so far as the carriage of material is concerned, the amount of coal consumed by the government printing office ism tremendous item. This could be easily disposed of by achute running in any ion, on account of the elevation. Exper- ience has shown that wherever there enters a upon an elevation above the ground surface it is to the economy and to the advantage of the traffic. a. VEST’ LY. Mr. Vest replied to Mr. Manderson. He argued that the committee on public buildings and grounds should rightly control the eboice of this property. It had done #0 in the ease of all other public buildings in this city and else- where. “The Senator from Nebraska talks about a donation to Gen. Mahone. What is there, Mr. President, in my political or personal relations with Gen. Mahone that would cause me to squander the people's money in order to enrich him? I have served upon the committee on public buildings apd grounds for fourteen Years. I have repeatedly had occasion to meet | exigencies in regard to the selection of sites in this city created by the demands of the proper: owners that Congress should consider the bids made by them in regard to their property for public purposes, ‘No more disagreeable duty can be assigned to any Senator, but in every instance, after ex- amination personally and without taking re- ports, Lhave endeavored to consult the inter- ests of the governnient and the people of the United States without regard to the amount of personal interest involved. In this case I granted to Gen. Mahone the right that I would ive to the worst enemy I had in the world, the right to bring ty to our attention, to Urge his claim and aak the representatives’ of the people to give him simple, equal-handed Justice. TO TAKE THE PARKING. “What does the Senator, through his commit- tee, propose? He proposes to take 82,400 feet of parking. Think of it! Today this capital of our country is the most beautiful city in the world, certainly the most beautiful upon this continent. From what comes its beauty? From 16 parks and its parking. I had occasion the other day to resist with great an amend- ment to an appropriation bill submitted by my friend from iowa (Mr. Allison}, aschairman of the committee on syeronviaiioes, ‘& proposition to take a public in the vicinity of Penn- hearsal occurs tomorrow morning at the hall at 10:30. ‘The entertainment will open with the | March of Nations; then follow the tableaus, a selection by Mr. Jonn Tweedale, vocal selec-, tions by Miss Dorothy Byrde Hogers and an orchestral concert specially prepared by Prof. | “Oe will be opened at 10 o'clock with | nes at 10 o'cl the Lanctrs im costeie, and at 11:00 the Vie i ginia Reel in costume will ocenr, Persons not in costume are cordially invited to take part in all other dances, The small admission fee of 50 cents and refreshments to order are the only | mesns provided for revenue, as this is an occa- sion of social enjoyment for the members and | their friends more thau « money-making | ‘is @ member. | scheme.

They have\ thrown a deadening in- fluence over the most beautiful part of Wash- ington, the northeast; they have depreciated property, and it 1s an outrage that those tracks should ever have been put there, or that they should be allowed to continue there today. CONGRESS AND THE RAILROADS. “‘All action by Congress has been defeated in that regard, and the Congress of the United States has been powerless to change the tracks either of the Pennsvivania Railroad Company or the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. “Let any new Senator who comes here fresh from the people, as the term is, and filled with the spirit of reform, attack either one of these corporations, and he will receive a le-son in re- gard to their influence which will last him the remainder of his life. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will put their tracks exactly where it is to their interest to put them. The government of the United States can secure those tracks whenever they please at any place or upon any street.” The debate was not finished and will be taken up again today. “PAIRS” I f SENATE, Mr. Hale Makes Some Very Sensible Ke- marks in Regard to the Practice. After the vote on the amendment of Senator Wolcott to the sundry civil bill:to reduce the appropriation of the geological survey Mr. Hale made a few remarks about “pairs,” which were very much to the point, He said: “The state of the last vote leads me to venture a sug- gestion to the Senate about the evil which is constantly showing itself here on the question of pairs, ‘There isa very full Senate present, perhaps seventy members, and yet the vote discloses nosuch number. It is the habit, and very good habit, for general pairs to be made almost always between Senators on the two sides of the chamber, the foundation of the practice being that it shall apply to large and Political questions. “In that way it is a great convenience, and a Senator's record is preserved by his pair being announced. But where, as is the case here, these pairs are considered as applying to every minor matter, every small vote on small things which do not touch politics inany way what- ever, where it is not known bow a Senator upon either side would yote, pairs are con- stantly being announced. This practice hin- ders business, prevents us from getting a quo- rum, and sometimes keeps us suspended for the chance of getting two or three votes when there are sixty Senators in the chamber. “Tt seems to me that that is an abuse which each Senator who is paired can easily correct. I was paired for vears with the former Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Beck, whom we all lament, and our pair was based upon the proposition that we each understood that the other might vote at any time when, in his judgment, it was not a question calling for the announcement of the pair. I do not think the pair was announced between us once in month. I have now the same kind of a pair with the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Ransom. ) “Only on large questions, where I am con- fident what bis position would be, do Tan- nounce the pair or does he announce the pair. Ido not think since the vair has been existing between us it has been announced three times. Each of us votes on all ordinary questions whether the other is present or not to help to make a quorum. ‘We are near the end of the session, with eleven working days left, and the time con- sumed by this daily announcement of pairs is a very material one and obstructs business, It seeins to me that Senators can help this very much by liberalizing the arrangements about paira,”” ° Investigators at Terre Haute. The congressional subcommittee, sent by the Panama investigating committee to take the evidence of ox-Secretary R. W. Thompson, arrived at Terre Haute, Indiana, yester- day morning. The members are Storer of Ohio, and Patterson of Tennessee. They were driven immediately with their stenographer to the residence of ex-Secretary Thompson who is improved health, being better than for a week or more. The evidence will be taken i private, EX-SECRETARY THOMPSQN'S EXAMINATION. From 10 o'clock until 1 p.m, Col. R. W. Thompson sat propped in an invalid chair and told a story of his connection with the Panama canal. Congressman Patterson put. the ques- tions for the first two hours and Mr. Storrer closed the examination. Col. Thompson told how he had been selected as president of the American committee; that it was with the approval of President Hayes that he resigned fom the cabinet to take the posi- tion. His snlary wae fixed nt $25,000 pear, He never knew until recently that ‘Gen. Grant had declined the position nor did he know that the three New York bankers received in 1,200,000 in salarios. If he had he would not have volunteered to surrender halt his salary in the last year of his presidency. He enid he considered it his province to look after the i terest of tho canal in a general way, and that he never authorized the expenditure of any money except the $20,000.a yenr for the committee's expense. which was exclusive of his salary. Mr. Patterson read from Col. Thompson's letters to Lesseps, in which he spoke of having Kept out of the lobby in Washington in 1885 When the Nicaragua treaty was pending in tl Senate he (Col. Thompson) wrote » pamphie' which was anonymously distributed in the enite. ar. Patterson remarked that it must have been good democratic doctrine, as all the democratic Senators voted against the treaty which had been negotiated by a republican ad- ministration. a Catholic Celebration in New York. The golden jubilee of Pope Leo XIII, to- gether with the fifteenth anniversary of his election as pontiff, was celebrated last evening in the Carnegie Music Hall, New York, Walter Damrosch’s orchestra and the Palestrina chorus of 300 voices furnished the music for the Oho lee. Archbishop Corrigan, in eulogizing Pope Leo XIII, said: “In his encyclical he taught men that all forms of government came from God and called for obedience. While inculcating vbedience he taught that due respect should be paid to the people's just demands; that if the employer had rights so had the laboring classes to whom his sympathy went out. He appeared a8 a peacemaker, asa lover of conciliation, and in this alone has given the church a prestige it has never known before.” An Interesting Coincidence. Mr. John T. Ford writes to the Baltimore Sun that the second time that George Washing- ton was sworn in as President was on the 4th of March, 1793, and that the inauguration of Grover Cleveland will mark the rounding in of acentury.
