B | | ASS A Playing Schedule for 1890 to bs Adopted Today. i MUCH OTHER IMPORTANT WORK. The Visitors—The Western Associ- ation on Top—A\ Suggestion on the Framing of the Schedule— An Unwise Move. The Schednl e Meeting. The schedule meeting of the Western asso- siation will convene in the parlors of the Millard this morning at 11 o'clock sharep, and nside from the adoption’of a playing schedule for the season of 1800 the proceedings are fkoly to be fraught with much that is inter esting to the patrons of the game. ‘The first arrivals, Dave Rowe and W. L. Van Horn of the Denver club and Sam Mor- ton and I\ H. Hoch of Minneapolis, came in last evening. Manager Cushman of Mil- waukee, Mesara. Muleahey and Foley of Stoux City, Secretary Rochs and President Thompson of St. Paul and Messrs. Speas and Kranthofl of Kansus City will come in this morning. 'This not only includes the whole of the regular scheaule committes but representatives of every club in the asso- oiation, all of which goes to indicate lively intorest that is being taken in tho st cess and perpotuation of the game ia Vhis part of the counti The Western magnates have evideutiy at lust awakened to the truth that they sent one of the leading baseball organizations in the country, and at this par- ticularly critical juncture ao not intend to neglect the slightest detail that will teud to further their interests and impross the peo- le with the fact that they fully realize their mportance ana the necessity of prompt and decisive action ‘I'he best of judgment and discrimination siould only be exerclsed in the drafting of the schedule, in order that all the clubs re- oeive an equitable distribution of dates aud a fair share of the plums. The drafting of a schedule for such exteusive operations as will be calied forth by one of the most prom- anent baseball associations in the country is no child's play, as a1l who have ever partici- vated 1n such work will willingly attest, It is a dificult matter to arrange one hundred and sixty-three games to be atlotted oqually between eight ambitious cities and give entire satisfaction, In fact, it is a task that has never been successfully accom- vhshed, not even within the history of the National league or American association, let alone any of the minor bodies. 'Uhere is al- ‘wiys more or less kicking from one source and another, no matter how thorough and ampartially the work may have been done. ‘foday, however, the Western assoliation magnates have 'agreea to act only after tho mnost mature deliberation, and come as near 69 possiblo to satisfying ench club thut only 1ts best interests are beng subscrved. Tho gentiemen having the work in hand all ap- preciatethat this is a crisis in base ball, and that the associution they represent stands pre-eminently alone as the only orcanization among the ten or a dozen which exists over the country that has not suffered from the bane- {ul influences that have arisen by reason of the war between the National and the Play- ers’ leagues, ‘They recognize that extreme caution is necessary in every step contem- plated, and instead of being inflated by reason of their own undisturbed interests, aud the recent development of their im: nortance as a national base ball factor, it has fortunately made them more liberal and conservative and prone to be sure they are right and then go ahead. It is this delicate status of affairs that in- duces Tue BEE to offer a suggestion in rela- tion to the aaoption of the schedule. It will bo remembered the first schedule adoptea last year, being dratted by both inexperienced and impartial men, had to be completely revised afler the prelimi- nary games had been played, as to have at- tempted to carry it out would have tnevi- tably led to the disruption of the en- tire association. The schedule, however, as it yas revised, was a fairly ' good one, und give pretty general satisfaction. ‘Fhis sawe scheauie, with a few adaitional changes, wnong which would be the shifting of 8t. Joe's dates to Kausas City, would be a foasible one for the coming season, Great ©ore was taken last year to avoid as many Mionduy’s as possible, und get in as many Saturday and Sunday dates as possible, and a8 far as these dates were concerned the schedule could nov have been better. This arrangement will again require nice work today, d it is doubtful whether it can be us satisfactorily effected. But the biggest stumbling block will be the allotment of the holidays, and & great deal of contention is bound” Lo eventuate unless each club gots just what it wants, which, of course, is not oaly impracticable but impossible, A way out of this dilemma wouid be, however, for the clubs to make an equal division of the recéipts on Decoration day and the Fourth of July, grand stand admissions and all. None of the wvlubs could objecy W this, notwithstanding cach will endeavor to secure these games for its own grounds. The remodeling und adoption of lnst yeur's schedule is ovly offered us u sugeestion, and of course will be taken for what it is worth in the estimation of the gen- tlemen in convention, It would, however, wost assuredly curtail their labors very ma- terially. Set aside the making of ascheaule, the men assembled today should touch other bus- iness matters that have been hinted at very charily, as they might put their foot in it. While it is & patent fact that this association snould ve made the second party 1o the nu- tional agreement, this is & most inoppor- tune tune to make such a dewand. “That time was when the western woguls were in conference with the Nutional league and dis- rupted forces of the American ssocintio and not now, after these bodies, after var, g struggles, are again upon solid founds tion, and in & position to adhore to their original compact despite any threats or aes wmunas from minor - bodies. Undue and hasty action on this head might precipitate & wholesale raid upon the ranks of the Western associstion that would require many long days o re- cover from. Of course the brotnerhood would be overjoved at any symptom of di turbance between the strong Western asso- ciation ana the two older bodies, and, once & wmove was made, would do everything in its power to nugment and aggravate it. Tho time will come, and that shortly, too, when the Western association will be relieved from the payment of any tributo to the two Clliur bodies and the western peopls should ide their time, - . The Omuba club, at the conclus@ of the work of the convention today, will give the visiting magnates, together with a repre- sentative from each of the city papers, a sumptuous banguet at the Millard. ill HOld the Grounds. After @ full consideration of all of the offers of locations that have been made, the Dbase ball managers have decided to retain thoir present grounds at least another year. spur will probably be run from the ‘wenty-fourth street motor line to the grounds, thus giving the patrons of the mes lnereased transportation fucilities, A Rat Killing Contest, A rat nlling was announced to take place L B16 South Tenth street last night, but the fast dozs failed to appear.

Dunn & Co.'s weekly re- view of trad ! It raroly happens that the situation in business is as perploxing s it now appears. ‘The general tenor of renorts is less encour- agiog, Yet in every quarter there is seen strong confidence in the futuro of business, and such action as appears ia gouerally be- lieved to be temporary. ‘I'he monetary pros- pect has clearly improved. While the bank rate in England has not been reduced, the gains of $1,810,000 by the Bank of England and £400,000 by the Bank of France in gold reserve lessen the chance of a disturbing de- cline from that side.

Cleveland reports a larger trade on the whole than a year ago, but at St, Louis trade Is slightly restricted, at Kan Civy only an average, at St. Paul and Minneapolis somewhat improved, but at most other points only fair for the season. The larger branches of industry do not for the moment show entirely encouraging re- sults, Iron is unmistakably woaker at Pitts- burg and here, snd while the steadiness at Philadelphia is considered hopeful, business in bar iron is there pronounced ‘‘extremely dull,” in plates ‘vory dull.” In structural iron new business comes very slow.

T CONGRESS, IRAKRKR A An Allusion to the Chicago Conven- tion Fiercely Resonted, WasniNGToN Feb.7.—The house committes on ballot box forgery resumed its investiga- tion this morning by calling James k, Neal, Who was chairman of the state democratic executive committee in the campaign of 1889, He said that after Governor Foraker's music hall speoch and the publication of the forged paper, he had called on Campbell and they had resolved not to make a specifio de- nial until they had received absolute proof of the falsity of tho paper. They called upon T, C. Campbell, wno deniod any knowl- edge of the original contract and advised that a roward be offered for Wood. John R, McLean of the Cincinnati En- quirer was next called, He never knew Wood or spoke to him in Washington. e never had any political, social or financial relations with John Sherman or any other persons named in the forged papers, He never, be- fore today, saw the forged papers, never employed Walter Wellman, ana never, while av Suratoga, received a telegram trom Well- mau asking for a papor in his safe. He was never interested in a ballot box bill. He had lulun the Luce letter, but had nothing to do with i T, C. Campbell was the next witness. He told of the introduction of Wood’s ballot box in Cincinnati, the organization of a company in 1887, tho passage of the New Jersey bill, ete. Witness applied o Representative Grosvenorand the latter made the point that a democrat should be selected to intro- duce the bill in the house. Witness then ap- plied to Representative Campbell, who intro- duced the bill. He denied the assertions of Hadden & Wood and said he never had list of the signatures of congressmen made by himself or by anyone else. Witness at first supposed Governor Koraker was be- hind the whole matter, but had now come to the conclusion that Hadden was the prime mover. Ho addod that be didn't think For- aker knew that Wood committed a forgery, but thought him remiss in not finding it out. Representative Butterworth denied broad- 1y his knowing anything about the contract or the forged paper befors its publication. In the courss of his remurks he said he wished = to make avswer to a question ‘“asked by Turner as to whether there was any friction between himself and Governor Foraker, He did not want it to be understood that they were on terms of affecti6tiato endearment during the campaign. They'had criticised each other and were not on suchaffectionate terms as to be in constant communication. As to the Chicago convention that was a matter be- tween Senator Shermau and Gover nor Foraker.. ok 1y This_evidently angered Foraker, who ex- claimed: “So farias the Chicago convention is concerned I am prepared to meet what auybody may say with the aid of a few let- ters I have, Iidoinot propose to be aspersed here or anywheare el about Chicago. I buve heard mll I waot to hear of it, here and in Onio.

ALL THE SAINTS CAST DOWN, Gentiles Rejoico and Ienew with Vigor the Oampaign to Drive Polygamy from the Oapital City of Utah, Turid Tinmoss in Salt Lake, SALT Lake Ciyv, Utah, Feb. 5 —]Special Correspondence of Tur Bae |—Tho Mor- mons have about concluded that Jordan is a hard road to travel and that the strip of land on this side of-the sphere, wido as it is, is uncomfortably narrow for a man to get along with more wives thai one. The women worshipers have boen worsted at every point. and have been jostlod so severely with every it 1n the courts that they are beginning to look inwardly with a searching glance to seo if there is not something wrong In their muke-up that works to their misfortune, The decision in the Idaho test case knocked the tar out of polygamy and set the tomple Zion rockiag on its rotten foundation, and the very tenets of Mormonism aro timidly feoling for a way out of the un-Americun meshes {nto which they have been trained, There is great rejoicing at Salt Lake and especially among the old settlers who know o thing or two about the intolerence and sul- len fanaticism of this sect that canuou bo understood in-'a day by the tenderfoot. ‘When I first set foot in the city I was inclined to lend a charitable ear to their lamentations at this sad juncture of their history, but the more I learn of their tyrany of the past the less 1 crave to pity them. The men wio have known them longest despise themfmost; it goes tough with them to tearn that tho last resort,s the greatest tribunal on earth, has found them unfit and unaualified to perform the functions of an American citizen and that all membersof Zions church, in the saintly precincts, of Idaho are disfranchised. Many of them would not feel the woand more keenly if you were to cut them with a chisel. While the mormons are cast down the gen- tiles are correspondingiy made glad, and tho blare of drum, the screech of fife and the hi- larious hip! hip! hurrah! and a tiger! fol- lowed by the bizz of rockets the fuzz of many colored candles that in the rea glare of burn- ing powder make Rome howl is enough to “riot the sonses and sev on fire the fervor of enthusiasm. The pro- cessions of the liberal clubs have been pro- digious, niany of them preseuting a fine appearanca, especially the Flambean ciub, ‘'he ‘go-ns-you-please parade was a groat rally for the hosts of reform, and came as near “painting the town red” as could be done without using pots of lead and brushes. ‘The grand round-up this week includes a parade‘every nizht of all forces, to end with a turn-out of the liberal vot The call reads: “Ail must be 1w line.” he men who will wade in the six inches of mud that cov- ers the streets, night after night, are deadly in oernest and mean business, It'is no funuy snay for them, but the finality of forty years of bitter battle for frecdom. Thera 18 not a more loyal and patriotic body of men in the United States than the wentiles of this territory. The United States flag is to them the dearest emblem on earth, and they march unaer its stripes and stars with a stamina of devotion that is un~ known to any except those who have fol lowed it into the thick of battle. The federal government camc 1o their rescue at times when their lives were not their own, and has backed them up with legislation that wiil secure for them victory, and on Febraary 10 next, emancipation from the Mormon hier- archy. The Mormons are still making a great squeal over the registrars purging the list and lopping off names and excrcising the functions of a full-fledged rewrning board prior to the election. It is true that the bill gives extraordinary powers to the registrars, but, odious as it is, it never was exercised for a bewter purpose. Judge Powers, the spleudid chairman of the liberal party, in- sists that his campaign has been a clean one and vigorously denies any knowledge of a special train_being sent over the Denver & Rio Granae to register voters friendly to the liberal cause. That a train was sent is estab- lished by evidence furnished by Bonfield and his gang of detectives, and many afidavits are %fliug published in the Mormon organs containing damaging testimony. It is proba- bie that the registering wrain was the work of same over-zesous liberal who was willing to stretch a point to gain votes. ‘This was o mistake and is the only serious vhing proven againsy the liberals. The liberals assert that they have plenty of votes with out ‘resortiug to any unfair means, and to verify this they cite the fact that they carried tha election last August by 41 major- iy, the gentiles poliing 2,086 to 2,045 for the Mormous. Avthat time the liberals esti- mated that 942 gentiles friendly to them did not vote, while the Mormons claimed to have voteg 95 to 97 er cent of their full strength.® It was theso facts that gave th liberals 80 wuch confidence in their ability to carry the city and enabled them to raiso $23,000 for campaign purposes. Lcalled at the Mormon headquarters and the first man I mot was the sherifl. T asked him, *Who will carry the election?” when he replied, “Judge Zune (who decided the registrars could cauncel any nawes from the list they saw fit) has already settled that, And ina yery sarcastio vein he added: *I would not bo surprised if the votes were already counted and the certificates of elec- tion wade out." The exeitement over the election does not prevent the real estate agents from doing o Tat land office business, as the sales for Jan- uary aggregate $3,445,000, John M. Young, the candidate for mar- suall, is the ot of the town aud, being a nephew of Brigham Young and of ‘& manly mould, will conmand a large tollowing from the Mormon young men who aspire to bo somebody. The gentiles have got thirgs their own way for once at the metropolis of Mormondom “and the act that led up to it more than aony other was the one passed March 8, 1857, abolishing femalo suffrage, whicha Mormon authorily characterized as “‘the most cruel and sweeping provision of the law.” The Mormon legislature, to in- crease their vote, in 170 enfranchised women and just two years later passed a law depriving them of their power, and there wus 0ot @ woman in the torritory among them that protested against the outrage, The Kdmunds-Tucker act re- versed this by disenfranchising them and giving back their dower. Brigham Youug forbade wining, and prior to the appearance of Geveral Conners, who came in here from California with an army and planted 1t down for business, it was worth & man's life to be ceugit prospecting in these hills. The mivers are now doin, what the Mormon leader forsuw they wouls do if allowed to develop the mines—outvot- ing the saints, If you add to the disfranchisement of the women and the development of the mines, the boomers and speculators, you have thé three causes that have made it possible for the gentile to outvote the Mornion under the sbadow of the great temple of the Latter Day Saints. Much bad blood is cropping out. There may be serious trouble here election day, &s the Mormons will never let go of the city goverument if they can in uny way prevent it. This would be the last straw for them. Some years ago the Mormo erocted a theater here. Brigham Young said when it was first thrown open to the public that no Gentile should ever profane 1t with bis pres- ence, Oune of the apostles who made the prayer at its dedication called upon the Lord to strike dead any Gentile who attempted to eater the house, The business of the Salt Lake was conducted on singular principles. ‘The Mormous had no money, but got into the theuter by barter and trade. A fixed value was made on turnips, carrets, cabbages and otber garden truck. These vegetables were taken to tho theater and paid o for admis sion. Then they went to the tithing house, where Mormons tonk them and settled with the theater people In money. resently the Gentiles came along and they had movey. The Mormous rather reluctaotly sdmitted them to the bouse, but they nad to flock by thémselves lnto the pit. Touight the liberal party is holding a mass msctlnf in Brigham oung’s opera house, the first time a Geutile political gatheaiug bus mot withia its walls. The principal speaker Is Jobn M. Youn, of Brighaw Young's brotber, aud the L candidate forthe maranalshy, ‘Tho chiagrin of the Mormons isnot to be wondored at.
