It has been groatly strength- ened by the addition of new players. New life has been infused into the team under President Peavey, and a8 & munager Vice President Mulcahey hus proved very popu- iar. The uttendauce at the park, notwith- anding its bad location, has greatly in- creased. The sport never before was so pop- ular here as now, L.'Tne elub will be carried over to next sea- son. Most of the mewbers have been signed, A better location for the ball park will be provided. Tom Fianagan is for sale, although he ‘“é be kept the balance of the season unless soid. Crossley, of Minneapolis, has been signed and will be held with the hope of securing revenue by his sale before next spring. Eddie Glenn, who has guarded loft field, 1s tho most popular player in the club. Hurdick, of Minneapolis, has agreed to piteh for the club next yoar, Hob Black, of Titusville, Pa., is exceed- ingly pobular. [t wus @ lucky day when Sioux City secured such a tlue all-round er. “0ld Hoss" Bradley stays, of course, on third base. Bradley is recognized ns a great talker, but also a great worker—full of rank errors and brilliant plays. He koows the game and steadies the younger players. Tim Brosuun is imbedded in the affections of base ball peaple for steady, reliablo play- ing—always wantiog 1o win' gumes regard- less of his own recora. Cline 1s regarded as the team’s mainsta) in elose games. No pitcher has ever fools “Mouk" with a bad ball. As a base runner he hasno equal o the association, and he will e with the team next season, bel has been sent to his home in Louls- ville, Ky, and will play no more ball this year. He'strained his back before the sea- 800 opened, and could not pitch bis gawme. But be has uot been released, the manage- ment hoving that he will be sqund next year. ‘The base ball public 18 not unmindful of Joe Crowy's hard and successful work as backstop, nor of his extra work for six ‘weeks, while the club was io a crippled con- dition, He will stay. Frank Gonius is playing bis sccond season ‘with Bloux City and the weaw would be lost without him—always an honeést player ana reliable at every point. Jim Powell will be the traveling manager, and under the new management ho 1s havlns fine succoss with his players. Ho is a_goo judge of men, populdr among them and re- gardod as a good mun to work with. The pitchers next season will bo Burdick, Crowell and Siobel. The Sioux City club, as it is now consti- tuted, is perfectly satisfactory to the man- agoment and to the local public. There will be little change in its porsonnel noxt season. Sioux Oity is not now fighting for the pennant, but 48 making the batile with inneapolis for third place. Weckly Base Ball Reviow. The only change that has taken place in the Western association pennant chase dur- ing tho past week was Milwaukee crowding St. Joo out of sixth placo, Tho Brewers, however, are not yet content and are coming at a pace that will soon ocarry them past Denver aud well upou Sioux City's heels. So far a8 tho leadets aro concernod, thoir posi- tions are relatively the same as they were since the last *oview. Omaha is in the van 1o stay. She has nearly one hundred points the bost of St. Paul, and is playing o mag- nificont winning game of ball. ~ As a natural cousequence everybody is happy. In the National league Boston ‘still main- talns her position av the head of the proc sion, although she took quite a tum- ble ' by dropping _ two games to Indianapolis, while Now _York won four straight from Pittdburg. Tndianapolis, however, is making themall guess. Leav- ing Boston shoe ran down to Now York, and even up matters for the Bean Eators, by smasbing out a couple of straights from the Giants. Chicago too has been playing great ball, and has finally reached the third noteh, forcing Philadelphia_back to fourth and Cleveland to fifth. The latter team, how- ever, stands little chance of ending up bet- ter than sixth or soventh place. Brooklyn is taking things by storm in the American Association, and to the delight of almost the entire bascball world, is ~beating the St. Louis_B3rowns out of sight. There is little fear that she will again be headed in the race. The next best game in the asso- ciation is that being played by the Balti- mores, who are sure_of third place and may possibly beat the Browns out for second. The Athletics and Cincinnatis have be egregious failures, while Kansas Cig; umbus and I sville continue to flounder in the tureen; Columbus, though, 18 putting up much the strongest game of the three tail enders.

Crinve Wyo., Sept. 7.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|~The principal event of to-day was the introduction of a resolu- tion by Baxter, of Laramie, providing that a provision be adovted making suffrago uni- versal without reference to the sexes. Tho presentation of this resolution evoked gen- eral applause. There is now no doubt but a clause will be adopted in the convention be- stowing suffrage in tho constitution, There is very little discussion of the matter. It has n in operation here for twenty years under the torritorial form of government, and nobody now seems disposed o oppose it in the convention. The United States senate commitiee on ir- gation will arrive here the latter part of this month, and spend nearly a week in town. They will be waited upon by a select com- mittee of ten, representing each county in this territory, selected from the convention, who will present the subject of irrigation, as it concerns the various parts of the territory.

The Graham “Fake" ¥xposed by a Man Who Was Ther Burraro, N. Y., Sept. 7.—|Special Tele- gran to Tue Be J3¢al paper publishes a complote expose of Graham’s alleged trip over the falls last Sunday. Frank T. Hag- gerty, stenographer of the surrogats’s court of this city, states hé' was fishing in the river near La Saile last Saturday. At La Salle he met Garriv J. Stalsy, who said ho was employed by Graham to cut loose his barrel on the following’ morning, and send him over the falls in it. Haggerty proposed to Staley to accompany him and help him release tho barrel. Staley consented and the two men went in a boat down to Prospect Point, just above' the falls, There thoy met a man who said he was watching for the barrel. **We also met Constable Horn," says Hag- gerty, *who was said to have taken Graham out of the barrel bolow the falls. He also sald he was watching for it. Horn and Staley remained with me until after the hour at wiich it is clumed the barrel with Graham in it went over tho falls, We saw 1o barrel, nor did any go over the fulls up to that time, Staley was with me constantly until we returned w0 La Salle. We did not save the point till nearly 7 o'clock. We did Graham at all, 1f he was found in rel below the falls he entercd it down and wus pushed out into the river,” Haggerty is a perfectly trustworth y gentle- man, and his statement can be implicitly be- lieved. THE CRON TRIAL Out of Over One Hundred Talesmen Not a Juror Chosen.

Twenty-three of the peremptory challenges of the defense have been exhzusted, while the stato has consumed an almost equal number, At this rate of proceeding it would be seven wecks before a jury could boe sclected, as it would soem that & jury will be selectod only after the peremptory challenges of both sides are exhausted and it becomes no longer possible to reject a juror except upon evidence of legal disqualification, e ——— The Dock Companies' Offer Rejected.

Drs MoiNes, Tn., Sept. 7.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber. |—An investigation by the senatorial commission into the dressed beef combine was held here to-day. Senators Vest, Coke and Plumb conducted the in- quiry. The first witness was Martin Flynn, a stock raiser of this city. Mr. Flynn's tes- timony related prineipally to the decrease in the general price of cattle in almost all parts of lTowa. He said that there had been no marked reduction in first class beef cattie and the prices of the best portions of an ani- mal were not much if any higher now than seven or eight yoars ago. Patrick Morrissey, a butcher, testifiod in regard to the effort of Armour to introduce drossed beef into this city and to compeli all butchers to buy dressed beef from him, The raising of cattle in central lowa he thought had come to be a losine business. A private shipper does not get the same transportation on live stock as the dressed beef combine, as the latter undoubtedly gets a rebate by ship- ping stock to Chicago, St. Louis or Kansas y and then returning it in the shape of d beef. There is not at present much dressed beef sold in this city, but should the combine et hold on the ] business he believed it would ruin the hers of the town. L. C. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, said that at the p t time not more than ten cattle were killed in private slaughter houses in that city in _one weck, the most of the live stock being taken to Chicago and Kansas City. Beof is furnished the hotels by Ar- mour and others from their large slaughter and packing houses. Thero has been a re- duction within the last four or five years in the price of fine cattle of about 40 per cent. The cause is mot to be attributed to overproduction but to the mavipulation of the markets. Owing to this decline cattlemen are going out of the business, He said that the combine of the slaughter house men in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other points control the price at Omaha and Councii Blufts, At Omaha the market is not opened until telegraphic advices are re- ceived from Chicago. Armour and Swift run slaughter houses at Omaha and supply the butcher, shops, hotels, etc.. of Council Bluffs, and all cattle raised in Western Iowa most be taken across the Missouri to Omaha, where these men have packing houses and the dressed beef is re- turned and sold ata prico set by the Chi- cago market. That there are rebates given to large buyers he had no doubt, but could not cite any particular instances. He was the last witness examined and the committes after tuking a ride over the city as guests of the commercial exchange, left for Kansas City this evening. How Englishme CEpAR RAPIDS, opt. 7.—[Special to Tne Bre]—A sensation was created here this afternoon by a local paper publish- ing an article entitled “A great swindle,” in which the details were given of fleecing yolng boys out of sums ot money varyiii 1n amount from $3.50 to §500 for the privilege ot working a year in this country on a farm. There are in this eity more than a score who have been duped by English firms 1o this way, and have been placed by the local agent here. Being ashamed of their verdancy, they have mever mentioned the matter, and it was only through the confes- sion of Perey Codk, a° young boy ten years 0ld, who was recently’placed, that the whole matter came to light. ~ The article gmives the names of twenty young men in various lu- crative positions in this city who came to this country under the impression that they were to become gentlemen farmers in a year with Utopian results. It may be a source of sur- prise that intelligent people as these boys are might be so readily deceived, but in Eng- lund favming is condvcted on a' very differ- ent system than that prevailing here, and the profits are very much smaller. In many Euglish families where there are a number of children, it is very nutural to gratify the ambition of one or two sons who wigh,, 0 re Swindled. dmigrato to this country, and the bait of domfortable iiomes and w leld out by these firms tempting, The firm of Ford, Rathbone & Co., with heedquarters at 21 Pinsbury pavement, Lon- don, E.

This is the impression given them and they came only to fiud that they bad the hardest kind of work and a total absence of luxuries which they had been led to expect. In every case they wero given to believe that, thoy were to learn farming, as gentle- men’s sons, taking lifo moderately easy with horses to r "The s L'part of the expose, how- ever. is the legal pliuse of the matter, United 3 oner Hobbs, of Dubuque. to by Deputy Unite .

Biswarck, N. D, Sept. 7.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—The first outcropping of White Caps in North Dakota has come to light in this county, and bas created a genu- ine sensation, Mrs. Mary Scott, the aged wife of a farmer living noar Duiscoll, ten miles east of here, received the following letter: SrrINaviLLE, August 2.—Mrs, Mary Scott ~Madam: This 18 to notify you that you will be a dead woman before lang if you don’t stop talking about people and people’s affairs. We have heard you making the most slanderous attacks upon your neighbors, and that without any ground; and once more, if you don’t quit right away, you will be a dead woman. A Waire Car. Mrs, Scott came to the city to-day to lay the case before the authorities. She says she has well founded suspicions as to who sent the letter. She says that a man who was recently elected to the school board in her district, has for a numbor of years been living with & lewd woman, who came from St. Paul or Minneapolis, and that she has made comment on the disgrace to the com- munity of electing such a man to the school board. Itis her conviction that he or some of his friends sent her the letter, and she has decided to investigate until she uncovers the White Caps. The matter has created no lit- tle sensation, as 1t is the first evidence of the existence of ‘'White Caps in North Dakota and the feeling on_the matter is such that it is safely predicted that a speedy suppression of the orgamization will follow. Mrs. Scott has many friends who will ree that she is protected, and her house will be guarded until the matter is thoroughly investigated. -~ — A MISAPPREHENSION. Judge Thayer.

He was accompanied by Henry Gerrul, of Ballast Ioint, and they remained away a week,fishing,col- lecting and hunting, At the east is- land they found aschooner with a party of Americans who were fishing and seal- ing. There were two parties of Portu- guese at work at the western island. Israel smid that he and Gerrul secured fifty hair seals in one day. -~They shot the large ones and killed ‘the young ones with clubs. There are three scal rookeries on the rock points of the west side of the west island and two on the east island. Israel, who has obse their habi ys that they are ¢ and tl the seals of one ropgk mix with the others. The female: covered with a fine hair, while t the males is much coarser. The color of the young is dark drab, but the old ones are brownish yellow. The breeding scason is nearly over, then the sea-bulls will disappear and not return until next spring. ~ Where they 0 15 a mystery that has never been ex- plained. = They swallow a quantity of small stones for ballast which remain 1 the false stomach or ‘‘ballast bag,” as the sailors call it until they return when they spit them out. Muvs, Is has a number of these greenish cobble at her museum. A bucketful is about the quantity required to bullast an or- dinary seal, Mr. el said th st island was 80 solid rock with a coating of loam of the west side. It there that they found the **mutton” birds which burrow like a mole 1n the ground and come out only at might. After it became dark the explorers listened for the whirr of the birds, and when it came they struck out at random with stones and sticks, and when they heard something flutter on the rocks would know they had beon successful. The bird is a trifle larger than a quail and has short, stubby wings, resembling those of a penguin. They are nearly black with some white on the breast and towards the tail. Their legs are short and their beak is longer than a qual’s, Their flesh is said to be palatable but the eggs only were wried, They are pullet size and white, and Israel said they were the best sea-fowl eggs he ever tasted. He brought a number of them and also the eggs of the gull and shag, In a cave on the west island he found a new kind of seaurchin, very beautiful and numerous. Instead of the usual purple and black colors it was a brown- ish-red, und was some four inches in aiameter. He also found an abelone the size of a brown bean which is much smaller than the least in the nest at the light-house. Mvr, Israel’s formula for tanning the skin of hair-seals is to first sonk them in a solution of alum and salt. They must then bé tacked up against a flat surface with the inner side out, and have to be scraped every duy for ten days in order to get off all the blubber. e Ancient Greek Aqueduct: Two ancent aqueducts have just been discovered at Athens—one, large and fit for use, in the part called Goudi, to- ward Hymettus; the other, made of brick, in the city itself, beneath the royal stables, Near tho latter have been found several tombs in marble,and in both places fragments of inseriptions, Ay iy bearing the sume of Phila~ ros. & o -— Chose Thelr Own Names.

No surprise was created In Washington this afternoon by the announcement, at the conclusion of a lengthy cabinot meoting, that the president would not oall an oxtra session of congress. Those who stand noar tho ad- ministration knew this would be the rosult of the discussion sot for to-day. It is no sccrot that President Harrison has till re- cently looked upon tho feasibility of an extra session with favor. Ho belioves it would economize time, secure a moro porfoct organ- ization of the houso and favor the republican party to make bottor lagislation, but he was not fixed 1n his opinion. He was willing to hoar both sides of the question dobated, and when & mujority of the cabinet haa present- ed viows contrary to his inclinations he yieldea; 8o congross will convone in regular session tho first wook in December. The mugwumps and democrats announced when thoy learned that there was 10 bo no extra session of congross that the conclusion indicatos that the administration was in favor of Major McKinley, of Ohlo, for the speakership. 1t will be romembered that Major McKinley rocently visited the president and urged that nothing would ba gained by an oxtra session. It can be stated with a deflnite degreo of accuracy that the administration 18 taking no hand in the speakership contest and will not interfere in it at any time in the near or remote future, The conelusion reached at the cabinet meote ing to-day was based upon business princi- ples which interest the people much more than the speakership fight, DOUGLASS WILL GO TO HAYTL Fred Douglass says he will scrve as min- ister to Hayti, and that he will leave for his post of duty by the end of September.

CORPORAL TANNER'S CASE. _ Although it was but 11 o'clock this morn« ing when the cabinet went into session, i8 was twenty minutes after 4 when Secretary Noble emerged from the white house, en- tered his carriage and drove to the interior department. The croakers who stood about the executive munsion and noticed his de- parture placed their right hand index flugers at the side of their noses, closed one eye ana exclaimed confidentially : “Itold you so. Tanner’s case kept the secretary there, and the corporal was raied fore uft. He will go.” To makea long story short, and get at what the soldiers of the country want to know, it may be stated that Corporal 2anner will not ret om the pension offico unless the circums! s existing at the time 0= retary Noblo eft the white house this after- noon ‘are changed.
