LATE SPORTING NEWS The opening of the championship season in Washington {is expected to be amid blaze of glory. The flame was started at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the street pa- rade left the Ebbitt House. It consisted of @ tally-ho, brass band and a number of open carriages containing the players of the visiting and home clubs in uniform and a number of newspaper men. At 4:30 o'clock the fire is expected to be burning brightly, and two hours later, should the Phillies be vanquished, untold quantities of water or any other kind of liquid will be unable to extinguish the fire of joy. The Philadelphia Base Ball Club left the Quaker city at 7:55 o'clock this morning, and at precisely twenty-five minutes to 12 Manager Arthur Irwin registered at the Ebbitt House in this city. Of the eighteen men that compose the Phillies only four— Sharrott, Harman, Haddock and Turner— were left behind. The batting order for today’s game as an- nounced by Manager Irwin is: Hamilton, center field; Hallman, second base; Dele- hanty, left fleld; Thompson, right field; Cross, third base; Clements, catcher; Boyle, first base; Allen, short stop; Weyhing, As stated in The Star yesterday, Wash- ington will step up to the home plate in the following order: Ward, second base; Joyce, third base; Abbey, left field; Hassamer, short stop; Selback, right field; McGuire, catcher; Cartwright, first base; Tebeau,cen- ter Held; Esper, pitcher. Tim Hurst will umpire the game, President Reach, Treasurer Rogers,Frank Hough, sporting editor of the Philadelphia Press; W. G. Weart-of the Times, Harry C. Diddlebock of the Inquirer, Horace Fogel of the Public Ledger, A. M. Gillam of the Record and a number of other newspaper men from the Quaker city, together with several hundred enthusiasts, came down with the players, A Philadelphia paper said today: ‘The Washington club is run by J. Earle Wag- ner and his brother and Lawyer Biliott of this city, and all who remember these gen- tlemen when they ran the brotherhood club here in 1890 know that they never do things by halves. Last fall they signed Manager| Gus Schmelz for this season. This gentie- man has a reputation for being energetic, and promptly went to work and corraled nearly all the young players in the country. | If reports from: the capital city are to be believed he has gotten together a good team which promises to land somewhere at the head of the second division.” OPENING THE SEASON. Gov. McKinley to Be at Cincinnati This Afternoon. Governor McKinley and staff will be at Cincinnati to dedicate Cincinnati's new $25,- 000 grand stand and toss the bali into the diamond at the opening of the base ball season today. The Reds have now on the grounds fifteen men, all, with but one exception, in perfect condition. McCarthy, the young right field- er, who joined the team from Charleston last year, injured his knee badly in one of the practice games and may not be able to play for a week or two. The Reds will en- ter the championship race strouger than ever, and will make a good fight for the pennant. ‘The Champions in Fine Form. Today the champions will entertain the Brooklyns at the South End grounds, Bos- ton, marking the opening of the National League season and also the first celebra- tion of the new holiday—Patriots’ day. Ow- ing to the fact that the season begins so early this year when the weather in the east is so raw, no extensive preparations have been made for today. instead, a sweil affair takes place at the next game on May 10. Boston's new men, Bannon, Ryan, Con- naughton and Lampe, have shewn up finely, while the oid reifable players were never in as good condition as they are this spring, Stein and Kingslow, Nichols and Ganzel are the probable batteries. Giants Go te Baltimore. A special train left with the base hall eranks from New York city at 8 o'clock this morning to witness the opening game of the Giants at Baltimore. The team itself | left yesterday afternoon with the seventeen players under contract headed by Capt. John M. Ward and Superintendent Bell. Six games will be played before the season opens at New York, three in Baltimore and the others in Philadelphia. A thunderstorm at Louisville yesterday forenoon made the cranks feel miserable, but later the sun came out, and last night the sky was clear. Unless there is another hard rain, the biggest week day crowd ever seen at a ball game is reasonably sure to be in attendance. Everybody is talking about the chances of the team, and a victory over Cleveland is more than hoped for. The Colonels finished the exhibition contests in great form,and played the game at every point. Richardson was weakened by re- maining too long in the hot room at a Turkish bath house, but will be all right today. As most of the stock in the club is owned by brewers, the Brewers’ Associ: tion will ride in the parade with the players, and it will be styled “Brewers’ Day.” President Frank DeH. Robinson of Cleve- land was invited by President Drexler to be present, and yesterday telegraphed for rooms at the Galt House. Grim will catch for Louisville, and either Kilroy or Mene- fee will be in the box. hag fin has been equal to his old form in the exhibition games. For Cleveland, Young and Zimmer will be the battery. Manager Bamie says the Colonels will not disappoint his Balti- more friends, At St. Louis. The St. Louis Browns cross bats today with their old-time enemtes--the Pittsburgs. The “Pirates” are looked upon as likely to have a good deal to say in the matter of awarding the pennant this year. Their team is practically the same as last year, | and this in itself is a great advantage, es- pecially as so many of the men signed are notorious sluggers and quite skillful fielders, but Capt, Miller will give his former col- leagues a task to down his team. Miller at third strengthens the local in- | field to an extent not perhaps generally realized, and, with Werden, Quinn, Ely and | Miller putting up the game they have play- ed in the contests with minor leagues, there will be more of the “Stonewall” support fer the pitchers than has been seen in St. Louis since the days when Comiskey, Latham, Fuller, Robinson and other experts struck terror into the hearts of visiting batsmen. As to the outfleld, Frank, Shugart and Dowd have been playing good ball. All three of these men have also been hitting the ball. There will be a big parade of the rival ball tea: and a concert by a band at the park befot the . game. The batteries will be Breitenstein and Buckley for St. Louis, and Killen and Mack for Pittsburg. Yesterday's Ball Scores. At Indianapolis—Pittsburg, 7; Indianapo- lis, 6.

Premises No. i2i4 Maryland avenue southwest, formerly used by the Epiphany Church Mission as a place of religious worship, was last evening the scene of a series of sparring exhibitions, given under the auspices of the Warren Athletic Club. The Shakespearean quotation, “To what base uses have we come at last,” seems THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. especally fitting to this case. It may be stated to the credit of the Warren Athietic Club that its members disclaim all re- sponsibility for the exhibition that took place in their hall last evening. One of the members of that club took particular pains to impress this fact on a Star re- porter. According to his statement, Messrs. Roach and Wright of another club were the organizers and the controlling spirits of the occasion, The “exhibition” consist- ed of several sparring bouts of a very low order. Mr. Tony Stannard of Wilmington acted as referee and acquitted himself with credit in that capacity, The first bout was be- tween two white boys, Reed of the Can- terbury Athletic Club and Stein, unattach- ed. The latter did much the better work and was awarded the bout. Two colored boys, George Banks and Alex. Brown, then put up a very good fight for three rounds, and the decision was properly in favor of Ranks. The next bout was between Howard Wil- son and Jay Banks, both colored. Wilson out-classed his opponent in every respect and knocked him out in the first round. Two white boys, Stewart and Busey of the American Athletic Club, then sparred three tame rounds to a dra’ The next bout, between Mason and Coleman, both colored, was also declared a draw. George Hoicomb and James Jaynie, two professional colored fighters, then sparred three friendly rounds without a decision, and were followed by Hall and Howard, two colored novices, whose amicable over- tures resulted in a draw. colored professional of good fighting repu- tation, showed his physical superiority over Elmer Smith, also colored, by knocking “silly” in one round. The program was closed by a friendly bout between two white men named Roach and Jack Hens- ley. ; During the evening it was announced | that Mr, Mike Farrell of California would fight anybody at from 13% to 185 pounds and would forfeit the entire purse if he | did not “best” him in ten rounds; also that Mr. Lusky was willing to wrestle any 138-pound man in the District for a purse. RACE PROGRAM ARRANGED. of the Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association. A meeting of the board of directors of the Trotting-Horse Breeders’ Association of | Maryland and the District of Columbia was | held at Baltimore yesterday for the purpose | of arranging a race program for the annual meeting. The directors present were Messrs, D. H, Rice, Towson; L, Victor Baughman, John Waters, H. B. Halton, C. W, Baker, Aber- | deen; Charles M. de Garmendia, Frederick | county; E, B. Emory, Centreville; Wilion Greenway, Havre-de-Grace; J. T. Walker, Perrymans; Benjamin White, Washington, and John E. Phillips of Baltimore. Col. Baughman presided, and Mr, White was the secretary. ° The race program will consist of ke colt races for one, two, three and four-year- olds; a free-for-all, trotting stallions; free- | for-all, pace; free-for-all, stallions, mares or geldings, and trots in the 2:40, 2:30 and | | 2:23 classes. The ussociation will add $50 to each of the races. There will be three | payments of $10 each for the class races, and $5 for the colt races, the tirst payment | to be made on May 15, when the entries close; the second, July 1, and the last, twenty days before the race day. The new members elected were Dr. W. P. Morgan, F, E. Stone of Washington, and F, C, Hutton, Germantown, Md. THE BIG POOL MATCH, D’Oro Has a Lead of Eighty-Five Balls Over Clearwater, The third of this week's series of games between D'Oro and Clearwater at Cleveland ended m favor of the former, bot as to | last night's work and for the total. D'Oro | scored 1%, making his grand total 600, and Clearwater counted 155, making his com- plete score 515, “he game was the dullest in either series, LOYALTY TO PARTY Senator Turpie's Opinion of Democrats Opposed to the Tariff Bill, Sevator Cameron Speaks of the In- fluences Arrayed for Free Trade~ Mr. Quay’s Second Speech. Z ; The Senate yesterday afternoon listened to a quartet of tariff talkers, one democrat and three republicans. Senator Morrill ied off with the one-hour discourse, an extract of which was printed in The Star of last evening. Mr. Turpie followed with a speech of about the same length, in which he de- fended the bill, and scored its democratic opponents. Discussing the income tax he said he had scrutinized the free list schedule and had not found “income” in it. Various other articles were exempt from taxation in both bills—salt, lumber, wool, binding twine, &c., but not income. There were 70,000,000 of people liable to pay tax on wool, lumber and salt, and not more than 100,000 on income. He favored free listing millions of men rather than millions of money. As to wool on the free list, he said that he preferred raising boys and girls in strength and com- fort to raising the densest fleeces on South- downs or merinos. Party Fealty Urged. While there could be no quarrel with any friendly criticism or any suggested amendment consistent with the main scheme and policy, and not destructive ef any of its chief provisions, it should not be forgotten that the pending bill (subject to ordinary parliamentary changes) was the official act and deed of the democratic party of the two houses, and as such it was fairly entitled to the earnest support of every mem- ber of the y who had a seat in either branch of Congress. Sedition or desertion was not to be condoned. “He who leaves the party now,” said Mr, Turpie, in conclusion, “has never, at heart, been with us, He will go to his own place. We will remain in ours. This appeal will not fail forever. Justice may be delayed, baffied, bruised, even betrayed or wounded by the way, but it will arrive at last, It waits now in the chill of the early dawn, yet {t will have its day—a day perfect, un- broken, without sunset or decline, and which no power shall shorten.” Cameron on Influences, Senator Cameron followed with a speech of about half an hour, which he read in a low, quick voice. The interests which were arrayed in support of the present measure, he said, as far as it tended toward free trade, were mainly three: First of all, and most powerful,was that remarkable cosmop- olite, monied interest, which belonged to no country, and more or less ruled all, but which, whether it was found in Europe or America, or in the remotest corners of the earth, had always its heart, its head, its energy, its mass in the city of London. Next came the farmers of the south and West, who had always, by the force of their own interests, been subject to the same magnet, because their market was London. The third influence was that of the class which, for the want of any other name, he was obliged to call mugwumps, who gravi- tated naturally toward what they believed to be English, ‘and who took their impulse from the city of London. The American Congress had been told to destroy silver be- cause it was a mark of independence, and it had done so, for no other reason than to remain in the monied system of England. And now the tariff, which had been the chief object of antipathy to the British | monied interests, was also to be overthrown. The whole country west of the Mississippi had been sacrificed on the silver issue, and now they were going to sacrifice the whole country east of the Mississippi in the tariff, in order to open new markets for foreign capital in foreign industries, the on)y brilliant play being a five-ball combination by D'Oro, Clearwater played in hard Juck. NEW MEN ON LEAGUE TEAMS. Changes That Have Been Made Si Last Season. A great many new faces appear on the league teams this year. Among the Wash- ingtons are Joyce, Dugdale, Selbach, Me- Mahon, Petty, H. Sullivan, Mercer, Dlack, Cartwright, Ward, Hassamaer, Tebeau and Abbey.

Perry re- ported from the committee a plan for the distribution of the report of the grand com- mander, which was adopted. George Red- way from a special committee reported reso- lutions on the life and character of the late Mrs. Lizzie Ehle of Columbia Commandery, and expressing sympathy with Past Grand Commander Ehle in the loss he has sus- tained in the death of his beloved wife, which was adopted by a standing vote. The report of the committee on the state of the order was sent in by F. A. Stier, who ¥as not able to attend. The report gives an encouraging statement of the growth and success of the order in the District. O. B. Hallam, from the committee on laws and supervision, submitted a report detailing the consideration of minor questions arising in the different commanderies on which de- cisions had been made. The recommenda- tions in regard to expense, assessments and per capita tax led to a lengthy discussion, and was not concluded. The grand commarder then deciared a recess until Wednesday evening next, at Golden Cross Hall, No. 316 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, where the business of the session will be concluded, and the officers for the ensuing year will be elected. should be thoroughly BAD cleansed of all impur- 3s a sourco of much suffering.

County Commissioner Kunts- mann will probably get the republican nomination in the same district. And, by the way, Senator -Cullom, ex-Congressman Mason and W. J. Campbell are not the only republicans who want to represent Illinois in the United States Senate. Col. George R. Davis is in the hands of his friends, too, and there promises to be even a livelier scramble for that toga than most people expected.” “My chief business in coming to Wasb- ington was to examine the underground trolley electric road out on U street,” said Philip T. Hill of Buffalo at La Normandie yesterday. “I was more than pleased with it, and my visit may have the result of af- fecting several plans for electric railroads now under consideration by capitalists in several cities in the north, No, I do not know of any particular novelties in the way of improvements in electricity as a motive power for street cars. The heating of such cars by the use of electric heat, however, is steadily extending, and I think it may soon become the rule rather than the ex- ception, There are nearly three hundred electric street railway lines in this country that are now wholly or ‘tly equipped with electric heaters, and their superiority to the coal stove, formerly used, is unques- tionably great. They do not take up any passenger space; they throw off no odor, smoke, dirt or dust; they distribute the heat evenly, and don’t have to be touched from the time the car goes out in the morn- ing until it turned in at night. Their chief qualification, however, is that by their use the supply of heat can be regu- lated to sult any changes of temperature. They cost about 2 cents a day for each car. “I met an interesting man out in Chicago @ couple of months ago,” said Henry Fry, @ traveling man, at Willard’s today. “His name was Cameron, and he had just re- turned from the South African gold and diamond fields. He said there were enough diamonds in that country to stock four or five worlds with buttons almost, but that the mines are in control of a great syndicate, of which Sir Cecil Rhodes is the head. Cameron said that when he was shown through the company’s establish- ment he saw thousands of buckets filled with diamonds, but the combination con- trolling them keeps track of the market, and when prices are good a certain quantity of the gems are taken to London, care be- ing always taken not to send enough to glut the market. ‘ny man caught trying to smuggle a diamond out of the country is given seven years at hard labor, so it is a dangerous business. “I would advise the young man of push and energy who is seeking a field in which to labor for prosperity to go to Buffalo,” said W. G. Kressel of that city at the Na- tional this morning. “While it is already a city of 300,000 people, and in possession of enormous manufacturing interests, I regard it as merely in its infancy as a great bus- iness center. Why? Because the power of Niagara Falls, which is now ane har- nessed for mechanigal purposes, will give Buffalo the opportunity to derive the great- est part of the advantage of the immense force by reason of its contiguity. Natural- ly, the motive power of Niagara will be cheaper the closer one receives it from the fountain head and in Buffalo the supply will be almost without limit. No one need be surprised to.see my native place outstrip all its competitors in a few years, so far as manufacturing development is concerned, and it wiil be all on account of the capture and training of the enormous energy that is expended by the greatest cataract in the world.” A tall, slender man, with tron gray beard and hair and piercing eyes, that roved around under a pair of heavy gray eye- brows, sauntered through the Arlington lob- by yesterday. “That ‘~ Granville Stuart of the new mi) ster to Urugauy and raguay,” said an old-timer on one of the séttees. “He is on his way to his new post and this is the first time he has been east of the Mississipp! for a quarter of a century. He has had more startling adventures and hair-breadth escapes than almost any man you ever heard of, I remember one of them well. Stuart was one of the first pioneers in the territory of Montana, and was quartz crazy like the rest of them. He was out on a prospecting trip once and had dismounted from his horse, leaving his rifle strapped to the saddle, when the animal ran away. It was late in the year, and that night snow began falling. He was miles away from eny habitation, in the heart of the mountains, and in searching for his horse he lost his bearings. He had only a small pocket knife, and his fusee safe only contained three or four firemakers. The first night he was out it grew very cold and he made a fire, which attracted some small birds. Stuart caught about a dozen of them 1d cooked them, For ten days he wandered through the mountains, with nothing else to eat but those little birds. One day an elk rubbed against a tree within two yards of him, but he had nothing to kill it with. Then a frog crossed his path, but he was not strong enough to catch up with it. When he was nearly dead two Indians found him and took him into their camp to have fun with him. They fed him up, so as to get strong enough to run while they could beat him with tepee poles. One night he escaped, stole a horse and got away. He got lost in the moun- tains again, and, doggoned, if his second horse didn't get away from him. He wan- dered around again for thrée or four days, and then, when he had given up completely and laid’ down to die, some of the party who had gone out to hunt him up came across him and, carrie# him back to camp. It is devoutly! believed in Montana that nothing can kill Granville Stuart. He was a mighty hunter in those days, too. He has the record of killing sixteen elk from one spot without getting up. He is a man of powerful mind and will uphold the stars and stripes and all that they mean in his new position.” ‘ Henry C. Clements of St. Paul was in a particularly amiable frame of mind at La Normandie yesterday, which was not alto- gether due to the beautiful weather or an excellent digestion. “I have received notice of the discharge from the navy of a young man in whom a number of my friends are much interest- ed,” he remarked. “The fact is, my visit here was in connection with the case, and these telegrams from home indicate a period of joy in that neighborhood, There is something of a romance connected with it, The youth is the son of wealthy parents and was very much in love with a young lady of beauty, in addition to wealth. Three years ago the couple had a misunderstand- ing, and the upshot of it w that the boy went off in a huff and enlisted in the navy, of course, under an assumed name. Upon his disappearance and after hearing nothing from him the girl entered a con- vent in St. Louis, with the intention of taking the veil, When it became so ap- parent that she was really in love with the man she had apparently jilted, both fami- lies joined forces and means to search the runaway out. After a long time he was located on the San Francisco, and in a few the happiest girl who ever narrowly escaped becoming a nun.” ——____+0«—__—__ Marriage Licenses.

A Plea for Suspending Immigration. To the Editor of The Bvoning Star: The press dispatches inform us that one of the demands the commonweal army will make upon Congress will be the pessage of @ law suspending foreign immigration. This demand, at least, is a sensible one, It has been apparent to every observing person for | a@ long time that the tide of indiscriminate } immigration into this country should be) stopped. Every social and economic con- | sideration as demanded it. The sound and unimpassioned judgment of the country has been in favor of the severest possible re- | strictive laws—laws that would practically exclude for a considerable period of time all immigration. I know of no proposition | on which there is — ty = opinion than this; why one of the great parties has not made it a cardinal issue by | incorporating in its national platform a_ declaration in favor of suspending immi- gration is one of the political mysteries. Unless the popular non this sub- ject is wholly misleading and meaningless, | such a party declaration would catch votes — as no other single proposition before the country would be likely to do. | It seems to me it cannot be successfully | gainsajid that all of the departments of | mental and manual labor in the United | States are overcrowded; that opportr™ities | for the native-born boy and girl have been gradually lessening in number for years, and that just in proportion to the continued | influx of foreigners will this condition of things become more pronounced. As a peo- ple we have reached a point in our growth wi this consideration is forced upon us. The policy of our government in encourag- ing immigration was wise and beneficial up to @ certain point, Beyond that it became | unwise and fraught with great danger to the peace and comfort of our people and the | egg os of the institutions of the re- public. This fact may be unwelcome to many, yet it is a fact that we can no longer | shut our eyes to, It must be recognized; and as a wise and Christian people we’ should meet the issue and settle it in the in- terests of all now living in this country and for our children to come after us. Intelligent citizens know how hard a task that of assimilating our foreign imruigra- tion is and how much more difficult it is | becoming each year. And it is this con- sciousness on the part of the men and wo- men upon whom devolves the task of keep- ing the republic in its place that makes them feel alarmed for the safety of the country, Every ship load of immigrants landed upon our shores under conditions now existing adds to and intensifies the cause of this alarm. Intelligent citizens feel and acknowledge this alarm, and ask in all candor if there is no remedy. Is there? Are we powerless people in this matter? Are we tied hand and foot so fe cannot exercise the common right of self-defense? Must we allow the repub- le to drift upon the shoals of sure destruc- tion without makiyg an effort to do what our better intelligence urges to do? It is a strange position for a nation of our intelli- gence and strength to be in. Why are we afraid, as a ple, to speak out upon this ubject? What is of more consequence? Why are we afraid to act? The time is not far removed when action will be imperative; and it is the prayer of every true American that when the nation does fully awaken to its danger and the absolute necessity of ac- tion it will not be too late to act.

Parade. ‘The general committee met last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street northwest, and completed the arrangements for the parade in celebration of the anniversary of the order. The delegates from the several subordinate lodges and encampments and cantons were enthusiastic and pleased at the success that appears to be certain in making the celebration the greatest that has been held in many years, The Moody and Sankey Choir having declined, as an organization, to sing on the occasion, a large number of the members of the several lodges, their wives and friends, in conjune- tion with the choir of the Eastern Presby- terian Church, under the direction of Prof. John H. Roeder, will supply the chorus. Miss Dorothy Byrd Rodgers has been se- cured to sing several solos.
