President Young on Base Ball Pros- pects for This Year. “Over one hurdred players of the Nation- al League have stepped up to the captain’s office and signed contracts for the season of 1895," said President N. E. Young yes- terday to the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, when questioned as to the outlook for base ball this year. “There are only two clubs out of the twelve in the league which have been back- ward about signing players thus far—Bal- timore and Cleveland. There is no particu- lar significance attached to this fact so far as Baltimore is concerned, because the champions are in the league to stay. Man- ager Hanlon was here.a few days ago and expressed no anxiety about his men. Regarding the ingtons he said: ‘So far as Capt. Jcyce’s Senators are concern- ed, the best men, with the exception of Pitcher Mercer, have been signed and or- dered to report for duty at Washington for the limbering-up southern tour.

PRAISE FOR THE DISTRICT Senator Sherman on the Duty othe United States Toward the People. He Thinks Appropriations Should Be Made More Liberally—Great Future of the Capital City. The political debate that was inaugurated in the Senate yesterday afternoon on the District appropriation bill continued with unabated force after The Star went to press, and speeches were made by Senators Gorman, Piatt, Chandler, Sherman, Alli- son, Aldrich and others. The republicans took occasion to criticise the financial pol- icy of the democrats, and taunted them with the condition of the treasury. The only fact of local interest in the debate Was the admission of Mr. Gorman, chair- man of the subcommittee in charge of the bill, that, in his opinion, the District is not given enough money. He went on with en- thusiasm to.praise the future of the city, and to declare his faith in its becoming the most magnificent place of residence in the country. he appropriations for streets, sewers and schools, he thought, ought to be greatly increased, and he argued that action should be taken upon the bond issue bill for the extension of the sewer sys- tem. His own life, he added, had nearly been sacrificed last winter by a defective sewer, 4nd he was sure that the same has been true, at one time and another, of other Senators. Senator Sherman Praises the District. Mr. Ptatt made a long speech, based wholly upon general political lines, and was followed by Mr. Sherman, who sup- ported Mr. Gorman’s contention that the bill does not carry enough money for the District's needs. He thought there was no oceasion for alarm as to the state of the finances in connection with this bill, as there is in the treasury a surplus of Dis- trict money amounting to $2,0uu,000, After praising the non-partisan character of the board of Commissioners, and declaring that their estumates should be highly re- garded, Mr. Sherman said: “I believe a larger appropriation should be made. The tax levied upon the pecple of the District of Columbia and upon the United States together amounts to $7,000,000. ‘They appropriate now in this bill, with the amendments of the Senate committee, only about $6,000,000. It would leave a surplus in the treasury, including the amount paid by the government, of about a million dollars. It seems to me, therefore, the tax rate ought to be changed, or else the appropriation should be made more liberally. That is the view I take. Then, besides, it is to be remem- bered this city is growing in marvelous proportions, not quite so rapidly as Cai- cago and some of the great cities of the west, but it is growing phenomenally. “It was not so many years ago since Washington was a poor kind of a town or village. I remember very well that at one time there was no street paved in this city, except onc, and that was Pennsylvania avenue, with cobblestone. There were no street railroads at that time. It was the most ungainly city that I knew of—vast regions vacant. Now it is being beautified and extended over the District, extended far over, and I have no doubt in a short period of time it will extend to the borders of the District. Duty of the United States. “Under these circumstances, we are not dealing with our money; we are dealing with the money of the people of the Dis- trict; with the contributions made by the United States, not as a matter of gratuity, but because the United States owns more than one-half of the property of this Dis- trict. It has thousands of acres of land over to the south of us; it has great lands to the north of us. We have the mall and all the vast property, together with this building, and all the public buildings be- longing to the United States of America. The United States, therefore, ought to pay its proportion of the cost of maintaining this District. The United States is the great chief owner of the property of this District, and therefore it pays one-half. That is not a gratuity to the people of this District. They would naturally resent such a suggestion, and say they asked no gratuity from the government. It is paid because the government is the great prop- erty holder of this District. The people pay the other half, over $3,000,000 of taxes. “Now, there never comes a complaint to us that we are appropriating too much. We have never heard of a petition or a complaint made by any citizen of Wash- ington that Congress is too liberal in ex- pending their money, and I have heard many complaints made about the refusal of Congress to do work ef public improve- ment here that ought to be made; that ought to have been done long ago; that was postponed, not for want of money, but for want of disposition, because some- body in the Senate or somebody in the House would say: ‘We will knock that street out. We will not do this; we will not extend the sewers now,’ not because they have not the money, but because they think it amounts to a little more in the appropriation bill than it was last year. Future of the Capital City. “Dvery year ought to add to the amcunt of money invested in improving the city, because every year there are added to it not less than 5,000 people, and the business of this District is growing. The class of buildings that are being erected is con- stantly improving. Besides the amount of money that is expended under the cpera- tion of this bill, the citizens of the District are themselves making improvements about their own property to a large extent. Many streets in this city have been paved by voluntary contribution. Many of them have been graded by the adjoiring pro- prietors; many of them have been im- proved in many ways without asking the District for any appropriation. “1 leave this matter, for I do not wish to interfere with the progress of the bill at all. I think a liberal spirit ought to be shewn to the people of this District. They take pride in this city, and we ought to take pride in it. The people who come here te the city from the state of Ohio want to visit every public building because they feel it belongs to them in a certain sen: They have their partnership in it. They go around this vast building and admire a man complain that it ve or too grand for the people of the United States of America. Everywhere this city is becoming a matter of pride to the north and south, the east and west, and to the men who come from abroad. The other day we had a member of parliament admitted to the floor here, and he expressed his amazement at the grandeur of our capital, at the beauty of our buildings and the location of the city of Washington. Everything excited him with surprise. Now we want to continue. I trust that some of you at least may live long enough to see this capital, though rot the mest populous, yet the most beau- tiful, the most grand, the most pleasant of all the cities of the world.” Mr. Allison corrected Mr. Sherman’s statement about the District surplus in the treasury, which, he said, does not amount to $2,000,000. He argued that the ap- propriations should be made more liberally, as the people of the District are entirely dependent upon Congress for their funds. ‘Yhe only progress made with the Dill was the adoption of an amendment offered by Mr. McMillan, appropriating $12,000 for paving Florida avenue between 18th street and Connecticut avenue. The Senate ad- jcurned before twenty pages of the Dill had been passed. ——+o+____ Fish Coming In. Business about the cyster wharf has picked up considerably during the past few days, because of the arrival of so many pungles and sloops from the lower Poto- mac. There is still plenty of floating ice in the lower river, but the dredgers are et work ard the shipments are on the in- crease. Yesterday nine boats, bringing about 5,000 bushels of the bivalves, arrived at the river front. The oysters are in good condition, considering the weather, and are selling at from 40 cents to $1 a bushel. At the adjoining wharf, where fish are landed and sold, business is at a standstill. Potomac fish are scarce, the result of cold water and so much ice in the river, and the few shipments that are being made come by the river steamers. A few herring have parrived, but no shad. These fish, however, are coming from North Carolina by rail, and are plenciful in the market. Shad are selling at 50 cents and $1 each. A few rock-fish and white perch have been caught in the vicinity of Potomac creek in gill nets. LIQUOR LICENSES. o2r2 Large Number of-Retail Applications Werec@pproved.

The Commissioners have recommended adverse action on House bill 8256, “To pro- tect birds in the District of Columbia,” which was submitted to them for exam- iration and report, and recommend the enactment of a draft of a bill in lieu there- of. The bill provides that nothing in the act entitled “An act for the preservation of game and prot n of birds in the Dis- trict of Columbia,” approved June 15, 1878, skall prohibit the destruction of English sparrows and their nests and eggs within the District under such regulations and permission as the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and the Secrctury of Agriculture shalk make, and the Commis- sioners and Secretary are authorized and empowered to make such regulations for the destruction of. sparrows aud their nests within the Disteigt as they may deem proper, consistent with public safety. ‘The Commissioners say that the proposed substitut? is based upon a recommen ticn made to them,py the chief of the divi- sion of ace nd mammalogy of the Department of Agyiculture. —— NION MISSION.

Young Men Charged With Robbing the Armory. During the past few weeks a series of thefts have been committed in the Ward building, on 3d street northwest between D and E streets, where are the headquar- ters of light battery A and the ambulance corps of the District of Columbia National Guard. Lockers in the building have been broken, and twice the quartermaster's room was entered. Several overcoats, a pair of boots and six pistcls disappeared. The thefts were reported to the police, and Detectives Carter and Gallaher were as- signed to make the investigation. In this werk they were assisted by Lieut. Griffith, Sergt. Biondi and Lieut. King. ‘Three of the pistols were recovered in second-hand stores, where they had been disposed of, and a rubber coat was also recovered. Three nights ago a boy named Frank Hek- loft was found in the building and arrested. He had slept in the building several nights, he said, although he does not belong to any of the companies. Several of his ac- qua‘rntxnces are members, and he soon iold the officers of what had been going on. The thefts had all been committed in the daytime, and the officers learned that a number of the young men had been spend- ing their time in the sitting room playing cards, reading and smoking. The investi- gation resulted in the arrest of three young men, Chauncey Dainming, Willlam Ryan and Eugene Tegethoff, on a charge of the larceny of a rubber ccat and pair of boots. They were not identified by the dealers as being the parties who sold the pistols. The young men under arrest protest their innocence, and say they will Le exonerated when their cases are heard. Jury trials have been demanded, and the cases will be trie@ next week. ——_—_. _—_—_ Failed to Agree.

A Leading Repu lican With a Long and Honorable Career. Judge Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar died last evering at Concord, Mass., after a long ill- ness. The immediate cause of his death was old age. His brother, Senator Hoar, and all the members of his family were at his bedside during his last moments. Judge Hoar was born at Concord, Febru- ary 21, 1816. Having graduated from Har- vard College and law school, he was eiect- ed in 1846 to the state senate. From 1519 to 1855 he was a judge of the court of com- mon pleas. In 1859 he was appointed to the bench of the supreme judicial court, and served there until 1869. In March, 1569, he was chosen by President Grant to be At- torney General of the United States, but resigned in 1870 to accept an appointment to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, but the Senate refused to confirm the nomination and he retired to private life. He was subsequently appoint- ed one of the members of the joint high commission which negotiated the treaty of Washington. With Secretary Chase and President Lincoln he successfully negotiat- ed the first loan for the government during the war with capitalists of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, instead of going abroad for assistance. Mr. Hoar was a man of strong and firmly fixed convictions. He was a staunch re- publican partisan. He was a recognized leader of his party, and was constantly consulted as to its pclicy. Descended from a long line of distinguished men on both sides, Mr. Hoar took a prominent position in public affairs early in his professional career and held it to the end, through the exercise of high mental and _ intellectual qualities.

The Famous Lerder of New York’s “Four Hundred.” Samuel Ward McAllister, the society leader, died at his home, 16 West 36th street, New York, last night at 9:30 o’clock. At the time of his death he was attended by his wife, his daughter, his son and his brother, the Rev. Francis Marion McAl- lister. Mr. McAllister was attacked a week ago with the grip, but no serious symptoms developed until yesterday, when he was taken suddenly worse. He became unconscicus at 10:30 o'clock and remained so until 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon,when he recovered consciousness, and continued in that condition until his death. Mr. McAllister was born sixty-four years ago in Savannah, Ga. He prided himself upon his southern birth, the length of his ancestry and of his social success. For eighteen years he lived in Savannah. He was graduated from Yale and went to San Francisco in the fall of 1852. Western life did not satisfy him, and after’ practicing law a while with Hall McAllister, his brother, he came east and married Miss Sarah Gibbons, a lady of wealth and good position. Then he settled at Newport, and the social entertainments he gave at his farm became famous. He originated the phrase. the ‘'400," referring to New York soriety. His habits were very regular. He rose at 9 o'clock, breakfasted at 9:45 and then went riding or walking at 11, looking after business affairs from 11:30 to 1, took ich at 1:30 sharp and dined at 7. His favorite amusements were whist, billiards and small talk with friends. He cared dittle or nothing for the theater or opera or public amusements of any de- scription, although he sometimes attended the opera. He was five feet nine and one- half inches tall. ees Shield of Honor. Iris Lodge, S. of H., held an enthusiastic meeting on Tuesday evening last in their hall, at 11th and H streets northeast.
