The Ward Case, New York, Jan, 16.—The case of the Metropolitan Exhibition Company vs John Ward, the famous short stop of the New York ball club, came up in the supreme court today, vn motion of the plaintff to enjoin Ward from playlug with any other club during the season of 1560, Judge Howland, connsel for Wara, entered exhavstively ioto adiscussion of the meanming of the word “resorve” in the contracts, Not until the brotherhood began to show its atrength did the league bring up the point on the reserve rule. He said that the plaintiff could discharge a man in the middle of the sonson, and yet the player dare not seek another engagement. In paying his re spects to the league couusel Judge Howland spid that the National agreement contained three things which were distasteful 0 the American people, nam boycotts, trusts and slavery, The plaintiff 's lawyer, Choate, claimed that the players meant exactly what they said in their agreement, It was gbsurd for the defendant to come forward and claim that “‘reserve” only meant that he must not play with any other club i the league against the New York club, but he might o outaide. As evidence against Ward, Choate road extracts from a book upon basoball written by Ward himself. i which the ‘re- serve” clauso 18 referred to, and which counsel claimed Ward fully admitted ro- served the playor for the year next ensuing.

A Sprcial Honse Committee Evidence in the e Wasnixaroy, Jan. 16.—The special house committee appointed to investivate the Ohio ballot box forgery began its work this morn ing. Representative McKinley was the rirst witness to appear. rman presented a paper dated July 88, and asked if the witness had ever scen the paper, and whether the name “William McKinley, jr.,” signed thereto was signed by him. He said the name was not his signature. He know nothing about the matter except what he had seen in the newspapers. The 1w itness had never heard of the ballot box bill untl it was brought to light in the last campaign, Mo- Kinley knew npthing of the motive that im- pelled the forgery., He had no interest, di- rector indirect, in the Cincinnati Commer- clal Gazette, and never had any relations with Mr. Wood, and did not recall thathe had ever heard of the ballot box matter until he saw it published in that paper. [n his speech at the Cincinnat Music hall on Sep- tember 28, Governor Foraker produced a copy of the ballot box bill and that, with the newspaper publication, was the first he had heard of the subject. Governor Foraker at that time made no reference to the contract, but subsequently the contract and subsecrip- tion was published in the Commercial Ga- zotte. Judson Harmon, a lawyer of Cinciunati, who was Governor Campbell’s counsel, was the next witness. He stated that hie had never secn the forged paper until this morn= ing. Some time in October last Georgo Murray told him that the paper was a forg- ¢ and had boen gotten upin his ofice. witness started to get proof, spending the next day in getting the aftidavits of G. L. Murray, I, L. Milward and Frank Davis. These afidavits were put in evidence. Next day in company with J. N. Jordan he calied on Murat Haistead of the Commerciul Guzette and demanded to see the paper. Haistead said the paper was locked up in his safe deposit, but showed a photographio copy. The next day the witness got a note from Halstead stating that he was convinced that the paper was a forgery, Mr. Halstead belioved that the paper was genuine, but acknowledged that something had happened that afternoon w cause him to investigate its authenticit) Amos Smith, jr., surveyor of customs at Cincinnati, took the staud and was shown the forged paper, which he said he had first seen ut republican headquarters, October 6 last. ‘I'he witness said, when it was shown to him by C, L. Kurtz, that he believed it was a forgery, but consented to deliver it to Halstead, which hie did, with the statement, that he did not believe it to be genuine. Ex-Governor Foraker took the stand and was shown the forged paper and asked to tell all he knew about it. He said he had no personal knowledge of who executed the paper. After his nomination on June 20, L. N. Hadden, assistant city solicitor, came to see him and tulked about the political situation. Hadden thought that Campbell would be a very strong candidate, sayiug in explanation that he would have the support of some of the’ leading repubs licaus, mentioning Major Butterworth, Hadden said that his reason for supposing this was that in the financial results of Campbell's boilot-box bill, Butterworth and McKinley were both interested. He undertook to procure written evidenco of his statewent. Witness then went on und told bow R, (. Wood had told him of the bailot-box bill aud contract, and that Wooa promised to get papers for him.

Senator Butler on the Dastiny of " Our Colored Oitizens. DEBATE ON MORGAN'S MEASURE, Hoar and Biair Denounce the Objeot of the Bill—-An Exciting Time in the House on the World's Fair, Senate. Wasmisaroy, Jan. 16.—-In the senate today Mr. Hale, from the census committeo, reported back adversely a bill to require the superintendent of the census to ascertain what percentage of the people’ own their farms, the number of farms under mortgago and the amount thereof. The senate then passed a concurrent reso- lution reported from the committes on finance, requesting the secretary of the trensury not to take any steps toward a now lease of the seal fisheries until after Febru- ary 20, Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar {vas one to increase the appropria- tion for a public building and site av Mil- wankee to £2,000,0004 establishing a customs collecting district to consist of the states of North and South Dakota; for the removal of Indian prisoners in the east (Geronimo’s band) to Fort Sill, 1ndian Territory. The senate then took up & bill introduced by Mr. Butler to provide for the immigra- tion of persons of color from the southern states, and Mr, Butler proceeded to address tue sonate. This, he said, was too grave a subject to be aisturbed by party considera- tions or confined within the narrow boundaries and limits of party lines, Some persons who held high rank in the intellectual world held that in the history of the African race in this country was to bo seen the hand of Goa for the accomplishment of a great pur- pose in another hemisphere, Events ap- poared to be shaping themselves in & man- uer to justify such a conclusion. The race question raised by the chauged attitude of the two races toward each other was burn- ing evidence that the issue wus not confined to any Jocality, section or party. What is to become of the 200,000 Indians in this country wnd ot the 100,000 Chinamen was a dificuit problem: but the most profound inquiry ap- plied directly to the pending bill, and that was, what was to be the fate of the 6,000,000 or 8,000,000 negroes of this country? They were citizens, they had the ballot,they had all the cival and political rights which the white men had and which were denied the other colored races. Mr. Butler remarked the absence of colored people from all high posi- tions in this country and saw in that fact proof of the “unrelenting, unforgiving, in- curable race prejudice.” If anybody, he smd, had predicted before the war that the southern states would within a few years be represented in both houses of congress by men who were then slaves he would have been laughed at. If anyone predicted today thatvnot a full blooded genuine negro would ve found 1 the United States he would not be believed; and yot there were men who expocted that very thing. ‘“The bill,” he said, *‘con- tomplated the gradual, orderly, voluntary movement of the colored peopio out of tho southern states, and provided that the gov- ernment should enablo them to do so,” ‘While the negroes remained in large masses and exceeded in numbers their white neigh- bors, not only did the negroes not advance in social civilization, but they actually retro- graded. Such, at least, had been his experi- euce. On the other hand, ovservation and experionce had convinced him that where the white race was largely in the majority the white man was better off and the negro was bettor off. So that no friend of the nexroes would oppose the bill, because it would be hurtful to the negro. He believed if the governmont would do its duty by the negro (instead of coaching him and confusing him with civil rights ana empty, stations) if it would -render him sub- stantial assistance in his struggle for regener- ation and real freedom he would illumine the dark continent of his fathers wita the light of Christianity and law. As 1o the effect on the southern states, he said, 1f the south could be thus relieved of a part at least of its superabundauce of cheap labor, there would be such an immigration of white, intelligent, progressive citizens tha% the prosperity of the south during the last decade would pale into insignificance as compared with its fut- ure progress. Mr. Hoar replied to Mr. Butler, It seemed to him that this proposition was the most as- tonishing that had ever been heard in the legislative history of the senate or in the leg- islative history of any free, civilized and pros- perous people. From all climes under the sun laborers were thronging all one way in their cager desire to share 1 our harvest of na- tional prosperity and national glory, and yet in the senate of the United Statas a proposi- tion was made that by the power of the na- tion, aided by its troasury, 8,000,000 la- borers, born on American 8oil, every one of them, entitled to every right, were to ' bo transported to what the senator justly styled the dark region of the durk continent, and which in spite of the receut explorations of their illustrious fellow-citizen was less known to the readors of history today than it was ‘when the father of history attempted a de- scription of 1t 300 years before the birth of Christ. ‘ Mr. Blair spoke against the bill. He thought that if, instead of exporting 8,000,000 colored people there were 10,000 white people exported to Africa and kept there the whoie difficulty wouid be settled. The dificulties of the race problem existed in the excited imaginations and ineradicable prejudices of o few white meu, not between the races themselves. As fo the idea of the senator from Alabama (Morgan) that the choice was between murdoring the negroes or marrying them, between killing them or assimilating them, he thought that a courso of lec- tures on the sixth aud seventh commandments would settle the whole thing, and that no more would be heard of a doctrine that was an absurdity and an insult to our common humanity, ‘T'he bill went over without action, Mr. Teller presented the credentis of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Powers as scnators- elect from the state of Montana. They were reforred to the committee on privileges and elections. The senate bill to amend article 108 of the rules uud articles of war, in relation to de- serters, was taken from the calendar ana passed, After an executive session the senats ad- journed till Monday. House. Wasuix arox, Jav, 16,—Mr. Dorsoy of Ne- braska introduced the Knox bill, providing for permanent Nawonal bank circulation. Referred. Mr. McKnley of Ohio, from the commit- tee on rules, reported a resolulion appointing a committee on the world's fair, to consist of thirteen members, which committee shall withiu three days report a plan by which the house oan determine the site of the proposed fair, and subsequenuy report a bill provids ing for the fair. Mr. Cannon of Illinois, as the minority of the committee, reported a substitute resolu~ tion as follows: Whereas, On the 15th aud 20th days of De- cember, aud at other times the house ro- forred to the committee on foreign affairs divers bills, petitions and memorials touch- ing the projected world’s fair, thereby giving full tllrlldiullan to the committee on tho whole subject matter, and as the said com- mittee bas given exhaustive consideration to tie same: Itesolved, That the committee on foreign affairs be instructed to report a resolution providiog a methoa for selecting the locality of the world’s fair of 1503 by a vote of the bouse of representatives, 1, Whether said fair sball be hold east or west of the Alleghuny mountsins. 2. The selection of the place for the loca- tion of said fair, After such vote shall have been taken the committee at the earliest possible day sball lmrl a bill providing for a world's fair in 1892 w be held at the place selected as above provided. Mr. Hitt of Illinois, chairman of the com- mittee on foreign affairs, fuvored the substi- tute resolution and testified to the vigorous FRIDAY and falthful work which that committes had done in_referench to the projected world's fair, When the site had been selected by the house the )committee could within twenty-four hewrsireport a plan for the fair which would bt satistactory to all the mem bors of the hotise Mr. Morrowidf! California took the same view. Mr. Hatch of Missouri favored the major ity resolution.! He said that prior to the ap- pointment of the committeo on foreign af- fairs the gemliemen reprosonting the competing citios'had entered 1nto a compact that a special committee should bo created, All 8t. Louis asked was that tho specinl committeo should: bo appointed by the speaker and that the committee should con- tain an equal number of the friends of the four cities competthg for the fair. He asked that the agreoment' bo carried out in good faith and that the majority report be adopted. Mr. Frank of Missouri strongly advocated the majority resolution. Mr. Springer of Iliinois, who led the Chica- Ro faction, denied that there had been any compact between the ropresentatives of tho competing oities, It was truo they haa agreed to request the speaker to call i meot~ ing of tho committos on rules i order to .create a special committee, but that was long ago, the only intention of that agreoment bowng that the committes might sit during the holiday recess, Mr. Hatch characterized Mr. Springer's argument asa_‘“‘special pleading.” The rep- resentatives did not know that the gentle- men they had treated with were looking around for a loop hola through which to crawl out of an honorable contract. Mr. Springer denfed the right of any gen~ tlemen to meet in a hotel parlor and make a compact to bind the members of the house. The friends of Chicago had done just what they agreed to do, Mr. ~ McCreary of Kentucky aod Mr. Chipman of Michigan argued in favor of the committee on foreign affairs retaining juris- diction over the subject, Mr. Payne ana Mr. Fowler of New York, argued for the majority report. _ Mr. Hopkins of Lilinois opposed the crea tion of a special committee, and called at- tention to tha fact that there were two New York members on the committee on foreign affairs, Mr, Tvrner of New York strongly opposed Mr. Caunon’s proposition that the house shall first vote on the question of locating :n? 8ite east or west of the Allegheny moun- Aains. Mr. Cummings said all New York asked was a fair, square deal and no trickery. Mr. Spinola thought tho friends of Chioago had not acted in perfect good faith, and he said the Chicago bill had been slipped in before the committee was appointed. Mr. Adams of Illinois denied that the bill had been slipped in. 1t was introduced in the ordinary course of proceedings. Mr. Mason of Illinois favored the reton- tion of the world’s fair bill by the, commit- tee on foreign affairs because he believed it would expedite tho business of the house, Mr. Butterworth of Ohio arzued against withdrawing tho jurisdiction from the for- cign affairs commitice, which had been appointed without prejudice and with no vreconcoived notions, The gontlemen from New York never wanted a new deal until they held a bad hand. Mr. Cannon of Iilinois said that the great contest was between tho coast on the one haod and the valloy of the Mississippi on the other, and it would be simplified if it could first be aecided whether the fair sho#d be cast or ‘west of the Alleghanies, The house, a8 was its right, had roferred bill after bill in regard to the world's fair to the ' committee on foreign aftairs, which was nearly ready to revort. The objectof that co-oporation between the rival cities immediately after the meeting of congress was a special com- mitttee and it was not an agreement which should last through the session. *We faited to get a special conimittee, and the object failing, the agreoment failed.” Mr. Canuon then modified his resolution by striking out the clause requiring s vote to be first taken on the locating of the fair eust or west of the Allegheny mountains, A vote was then taken on the substitutiug of Mr. Can- non's resolution for that reported by Mr. McKinley and iv was defoatéd. Yeas 140, nays 142, Mr. Springer, risiug to-a question of privi- Loges, said he had kept cldse tally of the vote aud his tally did nov: agres with tho official tally, Withbut ithbugning any vne, he asked for a recount. To the surprise of the house the recount roversad the former result and the substitute wastagreed to. Yeas 137, nays Then much confusion‘onsued as to the next step to be taken in the ‘preitminary proceed- ings. Many members contended that the next vote should be taken on Mr. McKin- ley’s resolution as amended by the sub- stitution of Mr, Capnon's resolu- tion, but the speaker held other- wise and stated that the next vote was upon substituting the majority resolu- tion, as amended, for the original resolution referred 10 the committee on rules, The vote was watched with interest, and when it was known at the end of the roll call that the resolution had been ‘defeated by a tie vote, Mr. Springer of Iliinois, who had voted in the aflirmative, changed his vote to the negative 1n order to be able to move a recon~ sideration. Substitute rejected—yens 133, nays 135, Mr. Springer moved to reconsider and Mr. McKinley moved to lay that motion on tho table, pending which the house ad- journed, Notwithstanding the recount of the vote adopting Cannon’s substitute for the major- ity resolution of the rules com mittee, the result was announced inaccurately, and in stead of yeas 187, nays 134, the vote stood: Yeas 189, nays 134, —tle iy Confirmations.

On April 28 last Herman and William Boche became engaged in a quarrol with Goeorgo Ives and a man named Reckard.
