Cincinnati's Mayor Issues a Dictum Acainst the Yesterday's Winners—Speed Ring Mat- ters—Miscellancous Sports. Gan Lixcory, Neb., April 20.—[Special to Tnr Bee.|—This morning was the time set for the hearing of tne case against the twenty ball players, members of the Lincoln and St. Paul teams, charged with playing bail on Sunday. The case came up before Judge Stewart in county court. To each of the counts in the indictment, which charged the defendants with epgaging in sporting and at common 1abor, demurrers were filed, and it was upon the demurrer that argument was had. Gen- eral Webster appeared for the state und Messsrs. Magoon and Whedon for the de- fense. The whole question appeared to turn upon the definition of the word “sporting,” which the statute prohibits. The defense argued that the statute was made before baseball was created and theretore did not evidently refer to that game. Whedon pulled out a bible to prove that sporting n quite another thing, while the other run in an encyclopedia to prove Mr. Magoon contended that if this law was strictly enforced it would close the doors of nearly every church in the city, which had a janitor at work Sunday, had a vaid orean- ist and & paid choir, people engaged 1n their “usual vocation. He also stated that this park was far removed from any nce, and the oaly damage he could conceive of was illus- trated by a story told him. A woman had entered complaint against n party of boys who were bathing in the river twomiles from her, and when asked why she had doue so, as they were too far away to annoy her by their yells and by any unseemly exhibition, she replied, “Well, I don't think it is right to allow them to disport themselves in broad daylight iu such a manner, and besides, T can see them from my place with a telescove.” Judge ‘Stewart sustained the demurrer, holding thatas baseball was not played for any wager or stake, but was merely an exhi- bition of skill and agility it could not como under the head of sporting, which meaut, in his opiuion, gaming. It was played to amuse & public gathering, was not common_labor, and came uuder the same class as a balloon ascension. Ho therefore Lield that it was not a violation of the statute. On requost of General Webster judgment will not be entered up until noon tomorrow, a8 hio wishes to consult bis clients us to what they fntond to do. If they appeal the district court will tackle it next, and then tho su- preme court, as a decision is desired. Tho case is & test one, Bound to Stop Sunday Games. Cixersyaty, O., April 20.—([Spocial Tele- gram toTue B J-=Mayor Mosby is reported today as saving: “Professional Sunday base- ball must be stopped in this city. If there is an attempt at playing a game at the_assoca- tion grounds next Sunday officers will arrest all_concerned on the spot. They will not wait until #fter the game, but will “arrest as 5000 s the players demonstrate an intention of playing.’ If this policy is adhered to the association will probably play its Sunday games in Cov- ington.

Herr Von Maltzahn, secre- tary of the treasury, in the course of a speech admitted that from a financial point of view the complete elimination of the bounty clause from the bill would be altogether advanta- geous, but he said such a step would ot in the least accord with the policy of the gov- ernment at this time. He expressod the be- lief that the German sugar industry would be able to compete successfully with the in- dustry of foreign countries, even if the boun- ties were entirely cut off, but in matters of such graveimportance the government be- lieved that the proper policy was to proceed autiously. “1f we find,” Lie said, “‘that the erman sugar industry, under the reduced bounties provided for in this bill, s able to compete successfully with foreign producers then it will bo our duty to consider the pro priety of the total abolition of the bountie: ensation.

A Badly Managed Affair. Carcurra, April 20.—Mrs. Grimwood, wife of the late political agent at Manipur, who was murdered with Commissioner Quinton and others, has arrived here aud says the whole disaster was duo to the rashness of Quinton in refusing to liston to the sensible advice given him in regard to negotiations with the native chiefs, He endeavored to entrap the senaputty (brother of the deposed maharijah), with the intention of placing him under arrest, but the senaputty, learning of this, not only failed to ap| but planned a trap in which the British were caught. Mrs. Grimwood’s story has caused severs reflections to be cast upon the manner in which the entire Manipur incident, has been handled from tue time the maharijah was de- posed down to the -epparently. inexplicable delay in pushing forward %ho British forces, Uproar in the Italian Depuities. Rome, April 29.—Signor Jmbriani, who stirred up a row with ex-Premier Crispia few weeks ago, created another great nproar n the chamberof deputies tbday.

Caprain Lee Has a Conference with Secretary Noble. Wasnixatoy, April 20.—[Special Telogram to Tk Ber.]—Today Captain J. M. Lee of the Ninth United States infantry, agent for the government at the Rosebud+agency, was at the war department and had a conference with Secretary Proctor in regard to the con- dition of the Sioux Indians. He said that everything is now quiet in South akota and the chances are favorable that there will be no trouble this spring. White folks around the agencies are inclined to start all sorts of rumors of the coming strife, but as far as he could observe—and b had investigated the, circumstances very thoroughly—he knew of no organized ‘intent on the part of the Indians to bo hostile or any inclination to organize. Speak- ing of -the Brules, who gained a rather unsavory reputation last winter, he continued to say that there is a good deal of injustice doue this tribe, which furnished the first full company of soldiers to the government with- out conditions. Captain Lee is of the opinion that the project of enlisting Indians wall ulti- mately be as much of & success as the enlist- ment of colored men has been. > Commissioner Morgan called at the war de- ‘mrl ment at noon and had a talk with Captain «ce about the Indian outlook i tho north- west. General Schofleld is well pleased with the rogress made in the work of en- istiog Indians in the army. Ha sald today: “If we can get two well drilled and contented troops of Indians we shall be doing all that can be expected at this time. These troops will be tho cause of many moro Indians enlisting, and I think I can seq tka day atead when there will be 1o more difii- culty in getting good soldiers from the Indian resorvatious thun there is today in_eulisting white men.

We had one trouble at Wounded Knee; we oursclves did not have anything to do with it, but it gave us a lesson. We did not want to fight in the first vlace, but some- body called for troops. All we think about noW is to farm. I receiyed a letter about the same matter from Lower Brule agency, and 1 told them we were not going to make any more trouble and they must not pay atten- tion to such talk.

Nothing in the world can keep us back now The alliance will wipe the board clean before long, no you mark what I tell you.” Do you think the party will hold together all right!" ‘Hold together!" interrogatea statesman looking keenly into the reporter's face. ‘*‘Hold together! "Why, of course it will hold topether. What on carth has it got to split over! The party is more solid today than it was last fall.” Do you think there is need of a special session of the legislature " *‘No, not the least, and I don't believ there will be a special session unless Bovd is knocked out. 1don’t believe that Boyd will call a special session§ If Majors or Thayer should happen to get the governor's seat they might call a special session to deal with the freight rate question simply as a polit- ical measure. But Bovd has no excuse that I can think of sufficient to warrant his call- ing the legisiature Logether." “Do you think Boyd will be unseated " “No, T do not. I think lie will stay there. Not because he s a citizen, for he is not, but because 1 think the supreme court will not oust him." “How about Rees for judgo of tho supreme court next fall—will the alliance bring him out?" “Tdon't know, the rural The factof the business 1 am out of poli 1 pay but little atte: tion to it any more. Iam too busy with my own business to be a politician," “Do you_hear any tall about the alliance bringing Mr. Leese out for the supreme court.”” “Yes. I have heard some such talk, but [ don’t know how the matter will be settled. Judge Morris of Crete is a man who will run like a winner if he is brought out. He will catch the alliance vote in the southern part of the state.” “s there any talk of & succossor to & tor Paddock amoug the alliance leader: ‘“‘Not that I have heard.

Not if [ can help it, but as I have but little to say in the matter 1 cannot predict with any degree of certainty as to the out- come.” ‘‘Are you going to Cincinnati next month?" T do not know yet. Some of our people out there want me to go, but my wife B Fot very well and I ean not leave home." “‘What do you think the alliance will do at the Cincinnati convention?" *“The iden, first of all, is to find out the feel- ing of our people all over the United States, and | want to tell you right now that you can be looking out for a great convention,” vl -d et AGAINST THE FACTS. South Omaha's Council Decides That Haleigh Was Right. The'city attorney of South Omaha and seven mémbers of the common council of that town played the star parts last night in a hearing of the protest of Samuel P. Brigham against granting a liquor license to John Haleigh. Haleigh published his application in the World-Herald sothe time ago. Brig- ham tiled a protest, alieging that on account of the World-Herald not having the largest circulation in Douglas county the publica- tion could not be legal. G. M. Hitcheock and his circulator were present. They swore that for the months of January, Pebruary, March and during the first eighteen days 'of Avril the average ci culation of the World-Heraid in Douglas county was 10,121 This included papers de- livered, sold and given away. Messts. Rosewater, Feil and Williams, on behalf of Tur BEF, proved that during the same period the ayerage daily circulation of Tue Bee in Douglas county was 11,385, or 1,264 greater than that of the World-Herald. With these fucts staring the councilmen in the face, they returned 4 finding as follow: *That Haleigh published his application in good faith in the World-Herald, believing that it had the largest circulation in Douglas county: that the question of which paper has the largest circulation in Douglas county is still in dispute; that the World-Herald has the largest circulation in South Omaba and that the South Omaha Tribune is the official paper of South Omaha,” The protest filed by Brigham was over- ruled. On the witness stand Haleigh testi- fied that he received a notice of the action of the fire and police commission of Omaha de- ciding that t'nr Bee’s circulation exceeded that of the World-Herald. He had read this letter, but caused the publication of his notice in the World-Herald because its agent offered to publish it for §3, The spectators who heara the testimony in the case expressed surprise at the decision renaered, stating that the law and the ovi- dence were coutrary to such a finding. e Personal Right's League, The Douglas County Personal Rights league met last night and elected the follow- ing oficers for the ensuing hear: J.
