PULLING ON THE BIG ROPE. Brawny Arms Togging for the Honor of the 0ld Home. BASE BALL M:ZN GETTING TOGETHER. Prospocts of the Twelve-Club League Brigh Than Ever Now— What Today Promises for the Game. There was a great crowd at tho Coliseum Jast evening to witness the second series of bouts In the international tug-of-war, and, as the interest and excitoment is ovidently on the incrense, & larger attendance than ever may bo confidently depended on from this onout. Thers was a large number of ladles among tae audionco last evening, and they seemod to enter into the spirit of the oceasion with as much zeal as the men and clapped their hands and waved their hand- korchiefs as vigorously and as wildly as the most enthusiastic partisan present. Thero wors two surprises on last nignt's card, which go to show the amount of un- cortainty that enters into this thriliing sport. T the first place tho gigantio Garmans wore hauled over tne chalk line in tho incrodible short space of thirty seconds, and i was vho doughty boys from Denmark that did tho hauling. Thus, so far, Germany has broken the record both ways, having maae the longost and shortest pulls on record. Tho second surpriss was tho berculean pull made by Patsy Kirby's ““byes from the old dart.” Monday night the slender but supple Bohemians dragged them over the slats like 50 many dummioes, but last night it took the brawny laddies from Scotland just soventeen minutes short of an hour to pull thom across the boundury, Lots of Fun for n Qurter. The first bouv last night was between the Americans and Boglisumen. It was a tug on the short and sweet order. ‘The boys in vlue had the fires of '76 i their optics and Johnny Bull was licked in a cauter. Timo, one minute, Then the rmans, flushed with the recol- loction of their grand achievement on the night before, strode voldly and proudly forth and ranged themseives upon the plitform. They wero quickly followed by Captain Hans Bebie, who is'a daudy. What tho cap- tain don’t know avout marching isn’t to be found 1n either Upton or Hardee, The sable clad Danos made monkeys of the big Dutchmen, and they were on théir backs in just thirty seconds. The yells that greeted this feat made the old buildini shake to its foundation. Next camo the gladiators from Sweden and the graceful sons of Bohemin, and a prettier test of science, pluck und endurance was never seen. But the Swedes were in great fettle, and in just eleven minutes tho referee’s pistol cracked and Bobiemia’s hopes were blasted, Long Pull of the Night. The last, but not least, by a long ways, was the Micks against Scotia’s braves, and there was a tug for you. Tho Scots were looked ubon as casy winners, but they verea docidedly jaded looking erew at the end of forty-threo minutes, when they succeeded in pulling the handkerchiof across their line. It was a battle won inch by inch, the tibernians evidently laboring under the im- pressiou that thoy must redeem themselves in the eves of their friends, and while do- feated, they did this nobly. Tonight America will bo pitted against otland, Deamark against Sweden, Bohe- rmany and Ireland against mia_ against England. SUMMARY. Won. Lost. 0 o Denmark Swedes Gormany .. Seotland. .. Bohem a.

Base Ball Magnates Have Thair Dif- ferences Nearly Adjusteq INpraNapoLts, Ind,, Dae. 15, —Thoro is as yet nothing tangible in the situation regard- fng the two great base ball organizations, ‘e corridors of the Bates House wera filled this morcing with base ball men, Brief con- forences between different clubs were held, and the situation is now fully understood by all, There must be peace. This is the senti- ment which is uppermost iu the minds of all. The best mothod of securing this peace is, according to the majority, throngh a twelve- club lengue, and action in that direction will be the end of the great conference. Iv has been a hard fight to get the magnates in line ‘with this view, but now from the general oxpression thoro are only one or two holding “outof the district orgdnizations with a na- tional agreement. The association J aro still carrying on a bitter fight, but at this hour almost acknowledgo their defoat. Association Action It was 8 o'clock before the association got down to business. The session was very brief. Curis Von Der Ahe made a speech urging the association to consolidate with the league. \When he had finished bis re- marks Von Dor Ahe moved the electivn by ballot of a committee of three to confer with the loague committee, President Williams of the Chicagos ob- Jected to this method and wanted the power of appointment given to President Phelps. This was overruled and the Chicago men submitted. The commities named was Von Der Abe of St. Lows, Von Der Horst of Baltimore ana Elliott of the Athletics, After the selection Presi dent Williams wou a point on having in- structions eiven the committee that it had no power to commit the association to finul action, but 1o report the courso of the leaguo Tho meeting then adjourned. W hat the League is 1oi ‘The league did not have a full representa- tion until late 1n the aftornoon, and its meet- iug was deferred until 7: At midnight the loague was still in session. ~ The subjact. under discussion was the report of Messrs, Brush, Robiuson and Byrne, tho committeo 1o which was loft the arrangement of a plan for consolidation, ‘This committeo met repcesentativos of the assoclation In St. Louis one weok ago and plans of a sottloment of affairs were there ngread upon.

The general conference will doubtless be held at noon. The Columbus, Chi- cago and Milwaukeo clubs will each ask o big bonus for stopping down and out. Columbus has a fighting chance to displace Louisvilie in the list of clubs to form the consolidated organization, A big committeo is on hand presenting the club's claims for membership aud sulliclent backing Is assurod. The general foeling is that the league Accopts its committes's proposition in the purchase price of the three clubs.

Curcaco, 1L, Dec. 15,—A movement is under way that has for its object the con- struction of an elevated road over the tracks of the Hlinois Central, to extend as far south as the World's fair grounds at Jackson park. A majority of the American stockbolders of the Illinois Contral road bave approved the plan ana have sent an envoy to Burope tolay it beforo foreign stockholders who control the road. [tis proposed to build the elevatea tracks over the present surfaco track as far south as Twonty-second streot, thence south by other routes around the World's fair erounds, including a network of lines in tho southorn part of the city bstween Thirty- ninth street, Haistead and ISighty-seventh streets, Ivis betieved that this plan will s0lve the very serious probiom of transporii- tion, not ouly for the Worll's fair but for the ‘more remoto future. Itis understood that President Fish is of posed to the project but the New York stockholders are pushing 1t and will put it into o if tho con- sent of tho forcign capital cau be ob- tained, A number of decisions were handed down today by Chairman Finloy of the Western Passenger tion. In one ot these he imposed two fines aggregating $250 on the Roek Island road for doing a brokerago busi- ness and for cutting the agreed rate and at the samo timn dismissed a chargo of failure to require the signatures of passengors. Two cases in which the Wabash road was accused of violating tho agrecment were both decided in favor of the road. One charge was that the Wabash last July gave an_unauthorized rate o members of tho soclety of Christian Endeavor society from Kansas City to Minneapolis and roturn. The other was that an uvauthorized rate was made in cohnection with the Masonic meet- ing in Kansas City in October. The fight that is being made on the Monon to force 1t to discontinue the quoting of short line rates between Kansas City and Cincin- nati via Chicago is proviug to be & bonanza for the ticket brokers. In order togeta share of this business the Mounon agreed to redeem at full tarift rates any of the round- about tickets found in the hands of Chicago broke Largze numbers of these tickets have been securod by scalpers, probably through the aid of the lincs that are fighting the Monon and a handso.ne profiv is realized on every one redeemed. Goneral Passencor Agent Barker says his cnemies are trying hard to drive him out of the transmissouri and Missouri river business but that thuy will not succeed. The commissioners of the Western Traflic association convened toduy and will proba- bly be in session the rest of the week. Ouo of the subjects under consideration is the or- ganization of @ tonnago pool on salt from Hutehinson, Kan., by which 1t i3 hoped to put an end to tho trouble in connection with the rates on that commodity. The Burling- ton, Rock Island, Atchison, Missouri Pacitic and other lines are interested in the subject, and their ropresentatives will be heard by the commissioners, The board has also in- vited suggestions lookiag to a solution of the difficulties in rezard to ratos to and from Beatrice, Neb. Displeased With Villard, New Youk, Dec. 15.—A story was going the rounds of Wail streot today that Henry Villard will bo obliged to retire from the presidency of the Edison General Electrie company and also from the Northern Pacitic railroad. As & reason it was asserted that Drexel, Morgan & Co., who havo berotofore been numbored among Mr. Vilard's strong- est aderents, have becomo dissatisfiod with certain methods and signifiea their desire for a change, which desire is tantamount to a command. Both Mr. Morgan and M. Villard refused to pay any attention to the story. WORLD'S FALR 11 ct an Swallowed by the iz Four.

RASHNESS OF PRINCE FERDINAND. He Sera at Naughte the Berlin Convens tion and Defies His Suzerain —south American and spean Nows. |Copyriahted 1590 by James Gordon Bennstt.| Pa.s, Dec. |Now York ITorald Cablo —Spevial to Tur Bk | —An event of much political significance has just occurred, ance bias broken off all diplomatic relations with Bulgaria, The Bulgarian government or, to be more exact, M. Stambouloff, lately bad M. Chadouine, the correspondent of the Agoncy Havas at Sofla, expelled becauso it appears that ho has been sending home dispatches unfavoravle to Princo Ferdinand. Satisfaction for this high handed action was on Sunday demauded of the Bulgarian government. It was refused. This led to the rupture. It 1s plain that France hus bt and justice on her side in this matte he forwarding of tho dispatches was no ad- equate causo for tne oxpulsion of M. Chadouine. In similar cases France had up il now refrained from insisting on hor rights Her firmness in this instance shows clearly that the incident was taken advantuge of to prove that IKrance and Russia adopted the same line of policy in Bulgaria. Russia Las 1o relations with the government of Princo Fordinand, and France dosires none, either, ‘I ho recall of the Fronch reprosentative at i30fia is ovidenco of the Franco-Russian en- tente in Kurope as the joint action of the two governments at Pekin was of an_entunte in Asia. The incident has naturally attracted @ groat deal of notice in the diplomatic world. Ferdinand's Second Break. Another fact has mado a still deeper im- pression. Prince Ferdinand recently ordered a numberot 5, 2 and 1 franc pieces to bo coined boaring bis efiigy. This was a_flagrant vio- lation of che treaty of Berlin, which ex- pressly denied sovereign rights to the prince of Bulgaria. By _ordering the coins to bo struck off Prince Ferdinand has slighted the authority of his suzerain, the sultan, and given grave offense to the czar, whose patience was already and nearly exiiausted. The rupture of fous between France and Bulgarin on soslighta pretext and the violation of a conver.tion signed by the powers may have iroct and important bearing on each Is Bulgaria destined to be the match which will set fire to Burope? And mav we not find that the present in- cidents will bear out the pessimistic remarks of the Emperor I'rancis Joseph and Count Kalnoky, who should know, if any one can know. tho role which Austria plays in Bul- garing affairs? The deputies seem to be erowing tired of ultra protectionism. This afternoon they voted tho reduction of duties on petroleum to 12 francs on the ground that it was the ma- terial most used for lighting purposes by the poor. It is worthy of note that the ministry was not in accord with tne chamboer ou the auestion. Whether the vote will bo ratified when the matter comes up in the senate re- mains to be seen. Jacques St. Crke. WILL NOT ACCEPT ENGLISIL ALD. Starving Tussians—Noble Work of Count Tolstoi’s Family. St. Perenssurg, Dee. Moscow Gazette denounces the acceptance of foreign aid for the distressed people of Russia, and ospeciaily English aid. It declares that Great Britain wants "to turn Russia into another Egypt and warns the people against the duplicity of philanthropy. Mme. Tolstoi, the wife of Count Tolstol the novelist, in an interview today said she doubted whether the government would con- sent to act ns the medium for the distribution of foreign assistance, but there was no ob- jection to Count Tolstoi distributing such assistance privately, The extent of the fumine, she coutinued, insteaa of being over- stated is greater than any outsider would suppose. In the provinee of Riszan, where her husbaud is working, tho pessants get thirty pounds of grain monthly,but no meat or potatoes, Within twenty days the monthiy allowance is consumed, and the peasants then pass the remaining ten days of the month in a state of starvation. Famishing mobs of ten visit the houses of ndlords und wealthy peasants with threats to bun the proverty unless they are given food. Count Tolstoi’'s family is now scattered, the members being stationed at various points organizing regular reliof independently of the government oficials, who have been accusing them of being revolutionaries, [t has greatly comforted Count Tolstol to learn that the views of these officiuls are not shared by the czar. Mme. Toistoi waited on the czar recently and explained to him the injustice of these attacks on Count Tolstol. She was assured by the czar that he had no doubt of the loyality of her husband. One son of the countis ill with a fever, caught while visiting famine stricken families. ‘The coming winter, Mme. ‘olstol concludes, will be & trying time, but she feared the early spring most, as their resources will then be exhausted.
