If He is Sold Base Ball in Washington Will Get a Setback. The Cincinnati papers: of Saturday pub- lished articles to the effect that a deal was on between President: Wagner and Presi- dent Brush which contemplated the trade of Jack Doyle for Beckley and a cash con- sideration. This story has been supple- mented by statements that Earl Wagner has decided to dispose of Doyle to the high- est bidder, and that he is holding him on the auction biock, with Cincinnati, Chicago and New York es bidders, all eag2r to land him. This news has created a. very -un- favorable impression in Washington. The local enthusiasts have just begun to feel satisfied that Washington has a first-class ball team, and many of them do not believe that Mr. Wagner would do anything so sui- cidal as to weaken that team by disposing of one of the best all-round ball piayers in the country for so much hard cash. One deal of that kind—the sale of Farrell and Meekin some years ago—gave the Wash- ington management such a black eye that it took years to satisfy the public that the Wagner firm was really trying to establish a-winning ball team for Washington. One more such deal as that and the re- viving interest in the game here would re- ceive another setback. ‘Thg reasons given for the proposed sale—Doyle’s unwilling- ness to play here and his present iil- health, which necessitated his temporary withdrawal from the diamond, have no weight with these dyed-in-the-wool ball cranks. They know that base ball mag- nates have certain means of compelling an unwilling ball player to come to time. Doyle himself has acknowledged that the only thing that brings a recalcitrant player to terms is a cut in his salary. “Little birds that can sing and won't sing should be made to sing.” If Mr. Wagner should re- tire Doyle from the game without pay until such a time as he sees fit to do the work that he well knows how to do, he would receive the unanimous approval of the Washington public, and the attend- ance at the ball park would be increased, if anything, in consequence. If the news is received here that Doyle goes any place for so.much money, Mr. Wagner may expect to be criticised vecy severely by everyone who is interested in base ball. Not that the team as now con- stituted feels the loss of Doyle materially— with McGuire on first and Farrell behind the bat, everything is all right. But they can’t work this scheme through the entire season. There must be either a first base- man or another catcher. A star pitcher, too, would strengthen th: team. If Mr. Wagner could land a first basemin anything like the equal of Dvyle there would not be quite so much to find fault with. He can't find his equal, but he might get cne, who willing, would be near- ly as good as Doyle unwilling. One cf the reports is that if Doyle g.es to New York “Serappy” Joyce and $5,000 or $6,000 will come to Washington. Mr. Wagner would doubtless welcome the latter, but the Washington public would give the cold shoulder to the former. Joyce has served his term with the Senators. In the mean- time final developments will be looked for with a*great deal of interest. What ts done with Doyle will settle the question with the base ball cranks whether Mr. Wagner is out for base ball or boodle. COMMENTS FROM CINCINNATI. What the Queen City Papers Say of the Senatorial Outfit. When Miller faced Donovan after he had hit Hill, Dusty yelled to the pitcher: “If you hit me I'll make you jump over one of those fences.” Donovan took the threat good-naturedly, and after the game he walked over to Miller and inquired: “Which fence would you have made me jump?” Dusty made no reply, but only smiled. g Anderson, the hard-hitting outfielder of the Washingtons, got a cinder in his eye after Friday's game. He tried his best to get it out, and finally went to bed. About midnight he suffered so intensely that he got up and dressed and hunted up a physi- cian. There was nothing about his playing jeyesterday that suggested cinders or any- thing else in his eyes. A story is out that one member of the ‘Washington team dropped into a little game of craps in Louisville the other evening. He was only there a short time. When he came out in the air again the game was “sewed up’’ and the bank roll was in the player's pocket. He had “copped” $475 with the dice. “You should see Gus Weyhing this year?” said Charlie Farrell before the game yes- terday. ‘How is the old-timer?” inquired Harry Vaughn. ‘Pretty nearly as good as ever?” “Pretty nearly as good,” said Far- rell, enthusiastically. ‘Why, Gus is better right now than he ever was. I’m not kid- ding. I think that he is pitching this year better than I ever saw him pitch.” “Home Run” Anderson, the crack center fielder of the Washingtons, is popularly supposed to have been a present to the Senators. It was believed that Anderson was released by the Brooklyns and taken up by the Senators. It transpires. that there was a big wad of good United States currency ‘tangled up’ in that transfer. A gentleman well posted on the Washington club’s affairs said yesterday that Anderson cost the Washington club no less than $3,000. This, too, was $500 cheaper than the Brooklyn club was offered for the home-run hitter. The,story goes that Bal- timore offered Brooklyn $3,500 for Ander- son, but that Brooklyn, being under obliga- tions to President Wagner for Tucker's re- lease, let the Washington club have him for $500 less: When Hill remarked that he was lucky to get off as well as he did from the effects of that swift shot from Pitcher Donovan's hand he told the truth. Donovan is one of the fastest pitchers in the business. His swift inshoots are delivered with terrific force. Hill is not Donovan's first major league victim. A couple of weeks ago Don- ovan hit willy Hoy, the mute outfielder of the Louisvilles, and came near ending his life. He hit Hoy in the short ribs, near the heart. The mute was in a Critical condition for a few days. He had a slight hemor- rhage from the effects, and was out of the game for some time on account of it. Don- ovan is a very promising pitcher. He has not only wonderful speed, but fields his po- sition well. He is a hard proposition for opposing batters to face. His command is not of the best, and thoughts of getting a erack like the one given Hill naturally makes batters timid about facing him. Let no one underestimate the Washington team. There are some very fine players on the senatorial pay roll. You will go a long ways before you will find two such great batting catchers as McGuire and Farrell. Indeed, there are many good judges of the opinion that there is not a team in the league that can show such a pair of back- stops, hitting and everything else consider- ed. Mercer is one of the greatest pitchers in the business. Weyhing, from all ac- counts, is as good as he used to be when he was a league star, and Donovan and Swaim are promising. Reitz is a wonderful second baseman, and there are few better outfield- ers in the league than the trio that guard the outer posts for the Washingtons. Sel- bach, Anderson and Gettman are all first- class. The team that beats the Senators invariably knows that it has been in a ball game.

BUT A POLITICAL TRICK —-- + An exciting discussion: was: precipitated in the Senate late Saturday afternoon. over @ proposition to adjourn early. At the conclusion of a speech by Mr. Turley of ‘Tennessee a futile effort was made to agree upon @ time to take @-final vote upon the annexation resolutions. The advocates of the resolutions voted down motions to go into executive session and to adjourn, and demanded the regular order. The opponents of annexation were de- termined not to proceed with the debate and for nearly an hour carried on filibus- tering tactics by entering motion after mo- tion to adjourn or to go into executive ses- sion and demanding the yeas and nays on each motion. Several calls of the Senate were sandwiched in between the Various motions, each, of course, requiring a roll call that consumed time. The feeling was becoming every minute more bitter and the explosion. finally came when Mr. Morgan (Ala.), a member of the ‘foreign relations committee and an ardeat annexationist, took the floor and made an attack upon those who were conducting the filibuster, denouncing the effort to hold up the annexation resolutions as “a miserable political trick end intrigue.” to which he could never bring himself to be a party. He declared that the American people were in no mood to be trifled with on this ques- tion, and that the men who were parties to the. filibustering tactics would be spurned by their constituents. Mr. Morgan’s Denunciatie: Mr. Morgan “Mr. President, if the serator from Georgia desires to take the floor upon the joint resolution for the pur- pese of dis ‘ing it, nobody in the Senate is going to undertake to force him against his preference to go on this afternoon. But the evident purpose here is to block progress upon the joint resolution by a fili- buster. It 1s due to a majority of the Sen- ate, it is due to the cause, to the occasion, it is due to the situation of the country that the Senate of the United States should not refuse to do its duty one way or the other upon the joint olution. This coun- try is not in a condition to be trifled witn. The people of the United States are not go- ing to put up with us if we trifle with the general and public welfare upon an occa- sicn of the solemnity and importance and necessity of the present. “The President of the United States will be compelled, indeed he has already been compelled by the tardiness of Congress and by its refusal to perform its constitutional duty, to seize upon a friendly state merely because it is dependent upon us and can- not help itself, to send our armies there for refreshment and repose, for coal to work eur ships In an attack upon Spain at Manila and ¢lsewhere. To Control the’Elections. “We are taking advantage of Hawaii simply because we know that she is bound to us with hooks of steel, or, rather, with stronger hooks of affection, and that she is as American as we are. We know that; and because she is in that situation, for mere political purposes, for the mere sake of controlling the November .elections, the Senate of the United States is permitting tself here to stand and higgle and to pui the President of the United States to shame in the presence of the nations of the world and of international law. That is what we are doing. “We will find out some day whether the people are stronger t the state. We will find it out here now. We are testing that matter now. Here is a part of the state that is obstructing the will of the people beyond all question as it came to us from the House of Representatives, and we will soon find out whether the peop'e are not stronger than the end of the state which is in this chamber. “I should like to know whether these fine, silken, glossy arguments about the Constitution of the United States and about the right of the President of the United States to coal his ships and stop and re- fresh his troops in Hawaii and in Cuba are to stand for a moment in the presence of the events that are incumbering this peo- ple and causing them to lay their lives down at our command, and whether we can afford to stand here and quibble about lit- tle points like this, and obstruct the war, prevent it and put to peril the troops that we have sent out upon the high seas. I should like to know it. We have got: to face it, and I am delighted to find there 1s a majority here willing to do it. And I am’ delighted to act with them, though they are not my friends politically. I will stand by them through thick and thin for my country and its flag. “Miserable Political Trick.” “Mr. President, we shall presently. be hay- ing wounded men and men sick with all manner of tropical diseases coming back from the Philippines. Are they there un- lawfully? Are they there without our com- mand? Are they there in some unholy ex- ploit from which we are not willing to re- lieve them, or have they, while they are there, and those who go to reinforce th2m, been marking upon the records of history the highest tribute to American power and American character that has ever been drawn by the hand of man with the sword? These men will be coming back presently, many of them, and senators are here on this floor filibustering to prevent those men from having a friendly welcome and a land- ing under their own flag and their own country at Hawail as they come back, say- ing, “We will make you sail across the P: cific or else die while yoa are trying.” That is the situation we are in. “No, sir; I repudiate it from my soul. I repudiate ft; I will have none of it; 1 will not be a party to any miserable political trick and intrigue like that. There are men on this floor, plenty of them, and they have already started the movement to de- fer the question of-the-annexution of Ha- ‘wali until next winter. When the Senate of the United States makes that vote, what do we do with the President of the United States but to express our disapprobation that he in the meantime should permit one of his’ seldiers to land upon those. islands for refreshment? * * * “Persenal Convenience.” “Now, sir, personal convenience is spoken of, an afternoon of Saturday; ‘it Is hot;’ ‘senators ure fatigu2d.’ Do you suppose that General Shafter’s troops, who expect to figEt your battle tomorrow, Sunday, as it is of great magnitude, are saying to their commanding officers this afternoon, ‘It is personally inconvenient for us to. move tomorrow or this evening; we prefer to. consult our-ease; we do not want to go into the tight tonight?” \ “Mr. President, who are we representing here?’ Men who are: shedding their blood for us upon the field of battle, and we are talking: about personal ii enience! are spoiled to death, Mr. ident, by our prosperity.

Colored Man Arrested for Theft of Bi- cycle—Other News. Arthur Carter, a young colored man, was arrested yesterday by Detective Burrows, and held tor the Virginia authorities on a charge of grand larceny. The negro is al- leged to have stolen a Keystone bicycle, at Lewinsville, Va., Saturday, June 18. The next day the theft was reported to the Georgetown police, it being believed that the thief made his way to Georgetown in an attempt to dispose of the plunder. Af- ter some search the bicycle was discovered in the repair shop of J. J. Fister. on 32d street, where it had been left for extensive alterations, which, when completed, would have compietely changed the appearance of the machine. New handie bars were put on, the color of the frame changed, and a tew lamp and bell put on. The wheel was left at the place by the colored man named, and when he went af- ter it he was placed under arrest. The prisoner claimed that he was not the one who left the wheel at the shop, but Mr. Fister identified him. This morning Depu- ty Sheriff A. R.

The storm of Saturday evening did a lit tule damage to some of the trees of this section, which, however, was more than counterbaianced by the immense amount of good which it did to growing crops and vegetation in general, to say nothing of making a big improvement in the ¢ondition of the roads. A large tree in the seminary grounds, at 30th and N streets, blew down, and, falling out in the street, blockadea the sidewalk, and nearly all of the road- ay on N street. On O street between 27th and 28th streeets, and also between 29th and 30th streets, large limbs from trees were broken off, while on P street be- tween 27th and 28th streets similar damage was done. On Jefferson avenue, just below M street, the thoroughfare was partially blocked by fallen limbs. Dr. A. B.
