OMAT THE ANXIOUS T0 BEGIN PRACTICE Omaha's Eall’ Plagers All Hero and Ready to Get to Work, APPEARANCE OF THE TEAM'S 'MEMBERS If the Park is Not Dry by Tuesday the Toys Will Take Indoor Exercise— Manager Rowe Well Pleased with His Mel All of the mombers of the Omaha base ball team have arrived with the exceptions of Vickery, Ivory, Sprague and Fitzgerald. Fielder Bov Gilks came in yesterday morn- ing and was followed about noon by Suort- stop Frank Shoibeck, who came from his home at Detroit. Later, Catchor Hayes, Fieldor Kelly and Third Baseman Collopy came 1n from Boston. Hayes hasnever been %0 far wost and he was greatly surprised to find Omaba such a motropolitan appearing city. Ho had been on tho vergs of accepting the provalent Now Kngland 1dea of warliko Indians and herds of buffalo in this vieinity, but that was dispelied by o glance at the town. The new ball playors were anxious to sco the city and spent the entire afternoon in riding over tho street car lines, . Shortstop Frank Sheiveck, who will be remembered by local admirers of the national game for his brilliant playing with the Sioux Oity club last gear, is, of conrse, no stranger here. I am glad to bo 1 Omaha,” he said yesterday, “and I know that I will liko tho town and the people. No bail player who has over played hero has a word to say against the city or the vpcople. And I am glad, o, to play under a man hke Dave Ttowe. He's a player himself and he knows just how to treat his men. I think we have @ cracker-jack of w club, and 1 am auxious for us to get together and practice team work."” The npw ball players are a gentlemanly appearing, well behaved lot of young fellows and eact is ambitious to shine1n the Western leaguo this senson, There is not a “lusher” mong them. Catcher Ed Hayos, who was 50 highly recommended by Umpire Gaffnoy, i3 a stocky young fellow with an intelligent face and magnificently developea shoulders aod arms, Ho is ono of the seven-days-i- week- backsiops, as h1s record of sevonty conseoutive games with tho Worcestor club last year attests. Joe Kelly, the outfieldor, whio haé recoived universal praise from east- ern base ball authorities, 18 a husky fellow and has -l the physical requirements of “g groat batsman. It would not roquire’ o strong pair of oyes to tell ihat - his ancestors camo ' from the 1and ‘of the shamrock, aithough he speaks with the'accent of a Maine Yankee. Collopy 19 probably the swallest man in the team, but-ho- is very activeand is said to eatup hgp- grounders around third base with sghoulish glee.” In appearanco hoe resem- bles Shinule, and, in fact. it is said that he plays with ail the dasn and brilliancy of the famous Nutional league third baseman. Manager lowe was well pleased with the appearanco of his men. ana thinks all of them capable of excellent work. “I'msure,” said Dave, “that I've got a W bebaved lot of fellows, ang every oue of ’emis doad anxious to do his best to win. From what 1 kuow of them I dow’t hesitato to say that Omahn wili have the liveliest ball team it bas bad since the 1889 ponnant winners.” ‘Tho rainstorm yesterday mado tho base ball park unfit for practice today. If the ground does not dry by Tuesday the players will begin indoor practice. Athletes at Stromshurg.

WHY WHEAT HAS STEADILY DECLINED s Were Starving for That podity Their Reduced Fands Com- pelled Th to Limit Thelr Par- chases—Rigid Rules of Trad New Yok, April 3.—(Special Telegram to Tur Bk, |—At the close of last week it was suid the market was active in away sug- gestiveof further operations on the bear side, Lut that the increasing size of the short inter est would soon bring a rally. It must be con- fessed that the rally so far has failed to put in an appearance, 'The characteristic feature of the woek’s operation has been the failure of tho market to rally after each suc- cossive assault on it. A rcasonable inferonce is that the selling has succeeded in shaking out some long stock. It is doubtful, how- evor, whether enough Is coming out to per- mit tho covering of large lines of shorts outstanding now without causing a quick riso terporarily, though it may be, for the market is still narvow and wholly profes- sional. Money is abnormally easy. Bank mana- gers complain of finding profitablo employ. mont for their surplus funds, The vears were not daunted by this, ‘The largo opera- tors gave out 1o bear points, but they went boldly at the market aud sold it aown: not broaaly, however, but in sections, as it had been put up, and tho brunt of the attack fell ona few stocks which, by their decline, caused the balanco of the list to saz off Tho confidence with which they attacked the market was vrobably inspired by the fact that 1t failed to respond auy more to good news. 1t Was Worked by Veterans, When tho unexpected defeat of the froo coinago bill brought no buying orders, nor the poaceful sottiement of the Bering sea dispute, nor the large increase of eAruings re- ported by somo of the western roads it was plain to tho keen eyes of tho Wall street vetorans that tho buying powor was tem- porarily exhausted; and this being the case tho mavket was likely to yield_if pressuro were put upon it. It did so yield. Noheip came from the west where the declino 1n_wheat hus caused considerablo demoralization and from being enthusiastic bulls has converted most of the Chicago men into despondent bears, A small expori of gold, insigmficant in itself, further contributed & sontimental cloment to_the deprossion. Then there was the bad effoct of tho further deciine in tho Rictirond Terminal securities and the thick- ening rumors accompany ing 1t that there aro almost hopeloss dissousions amoug the holders of the sccuritics which makes it ex- tromely doubtful if the plan can be saved from failure. Wherever the professionals discovered liquidation zoing on thoy made vigorous and vepeated assaults on the stocks with the re- sult of causing several prominent stocks in the late tise of the market to look sick in- deed. Time and time again tho samo thingz has hapoened in Wall stroot and will again as ofte, but each time the thing appeavs in dif- ferent form and in different details, and the outsider 1s caught. Not infrequently it hap- pens, however, that somo of the insiders who' were a little lato in getting out are caught also, 1t issaid that a bull pool, whose members had overstated theit market, had been liquidated the past week. We lear no more about the vast comprehensive improvements which the aew management is o muake 1n tue New Englana _property. They are ail luid away on tho shelf, to be brought out again when thoe next bull movement is made in the street. Those That Caught the Blow. New England, Reading and_Sugar caught the full forca of the blow. The contest for control in the former recently collected a good deal of stock ina few hands, When the election was over the holders bad littie further use forit, and they unloaded. It was not likely that they would come in agmn and start to buy back theirstock a few roints below where thoy had sold it. From being bulls thoir ipterosts would naturally mako them bears, and they would be willing to et the stock as low down as possibie be- fore recavering their lines. Reading Fluctuated Wilaly. in respect to Reading, it has jumped up and down with extrems liveliness, and never was o legislative measure worked more thor- oughly in the stock market than has been tke one in Governor Abbott's hands. The governor has been moro talked about in Wall stroet in tho lusty ten days than any other individual in the country. The thing had become & joke and was getting wearisome. Friday, just before the close, a_dispatch was circulated on the voard that. the bill would positively not be signed, and that a special meeting of the leading directors had been called, as thestock had been dropping for several days. The news was generally accepted as accu- rate, but sorie one took advantage of it to buy 10 a considerable line of shorts around 54, There was extensive covering and tho price bounded up to 55 in short order, but did ot hold there, The Reading people have been giving out for several days that they waore not depondent upon the bill at all, as other arrangoments had been made to perpe- trate the combination, which is undoubtedly true. Tho corner stone of the combiuation is the concentration of the ownership of the stocks of the several companies. I'his con- centrated ownership exists now. Much Capital Required, It can be continued. It keeps mere money locked up than the combination by leases would require, but that seems to be the only difference. While the roads in the north- wost continue to make large earuings, those in the southwest do not appear to be doing s0 well. The February statement of the Atchison makes & poor showing where the nominal in- crense in netis compar 4 with the large - crease in gross carnin The increased business ovidently costs as much to get it as it is worth, Much of this is charged to the raaical action of the Kansas railroad commissioners, who are bent on making the railroads do business for next 1o nothine, Of course the Atchison suffers, and the slow but steady liquidation in 1hé stock -and in- come bonds 1ndicates that holders are gotting out, It would not be surprising if the in- confo bonds s00n went back to the price they started at after the road was reorganized, to which event they owe their creation, Wo hear some faint grumbling from the vorthwest about the rate in conuection with the low price at which wheat has fallen, but as yet iu is not serious. It Causes Nurprise, That wheat should declivo as it has, far helow the price for the corresponding timo last year, has been @ groat surprise and severo disappointment to the west. It wiil not bo forgoticn how, in the early part of tho crop year, we wero assured in the most confident; woL1o say glowing terms, that this country would be able to sell its immecse surplus of grain to starving Curope at uny prices we pleased to exact. ludeed (he western producer was seriously exhorted to be merciful, to ve- member the suffering on the other side and 10 benevolently put uis selling price at mod- erate fieures. What would have bappened to the Europeaus if they had bhad o depend upon prices of wheat fixed by berevolence it is bara to imagzine. Trade wovements are not conduvted on that basis. It is 50 ordered 4% between man and man in this world that in tho long run prosperity shall bo mutual and 1o impoverist the man you deal with is to deprive yourself of bis trade, Ruies of Trade. 1f the buyer bacomes poor the seller can- not sell him as mueb, or must sell the same quantity at » lower price. This is what we bave had 1o do with our grain, Certainly Wwo had no band in ceusing the crop failures iu Kurope, but as & condition of them wo huve only been ablo 10 keop up our exporls by constautly lowering the prico at which the grain was sold. Had the poverty on the other side been le: extreme than U has we would have sold a little less, but it would have probably been at & bigher range of price. It is a sort of object lesson in the brotberhood of man, for if it were not to & maw's own advantage to promote the well beiug of his feliow man, socicty would resolve iulo chaos, In fact it nevercould have exist When the general situation imoroves on { | the othor side it will bo_better for the whole market and botier «iso for the seeurity mar- kot Iu is mnfk«mn selling which has pressod down ‘the latter and may pross it down further. For the moment, however, after such largo professional selling as wo have hiad, one neads to be careful .u select ing tho stocks o' W’Ir.

New Orleans HARD AND DANGEROU 3> WORK OF FIREMEN Muny Hales of Cotton Go Up in Smoke in the Crescont City~Thrillizs Scenes and Incidents in the Res- Idence Portion, New Onteaxs, La, April 3,—One of the most destructive cotto fires on record broke out at 10:30 this morning among somo cotton on the sidewnlk in front of the fire proot press on North I'ront streot. The parties who saw smoke among tho bales, gave the alarm immodiatoly, and a few minutes later tho bells rang out ‘42 The department responded promptly, but the wind was so bigh and the cotton so dry that it burned like tissue paper. The flames rapidly increased, and in an ncrodible short time communicated to the press itself, and were working their way along the wood work of the roof. The firemen worked hard to arrest thoe progress of the flames, but their efforts were unavailing. A ropeated alarm brought more engines to the scene. Additional pipos were run out and extra streams of water pumped on tho flames, but they had no effect whatever. Tho wood work cracked and fell to tho ground, and the bright flames leaped upward from every part of tho compress, Through the cds swoept tho fire, earcying devastation with it as 15 went, burning cotton and wood as if they were so much paper. Turned ina ¢ 1 Atarn After threo ropeated alarms a general alarm brought all the engines in the city ox- cept two or three. The Iiro proof press had abou? 10,000 bales of cotton stored 1n it. This was entirely consumed. It would have been useless for tho firemen to enter the press. On overy sido the tlames made an impeae- trable barrier. The hoarse cries of the firomen rushing to and fro giving orders, the frignhtened cries of women and bystanders, and the shrill whis- tlings of the engines, formed a picture never to b forgotten. The polico woro on the scena doing what- over was required of them, but their pros- ence was of little uvail, as the crowd was very decorous, being compelled io remain at a great distance from the flames owing to the intense heat. In half an hour after the flames startod the fire proof press was totully consumed and the flames had communicated to the upper press, The destruction here was as great as at the other press. In a marvelously short timo the flam ad attacked the building from all sides, euttizng their way through tho wood work with wonderrul rapidity. [u this press was stored 50,000 bales of cotton, some of which was tuke: f safoty. Tho mafor portion of the staple, however, was m flames and it was impossible to save it. The firo ate its way ulong the rafters of the pross and down through tho woodwork into the cotton, which was stored beneath tho sheds, 1t was only that cotton stored in the yard that was suved, Narrow It required bui a very short time, with tho bigh wind that was plowing, 10 destroy this press. The walls wero soon’ tottering, en- dangering the lives of tho firemen. Several of thom had narrow (scapes, and now and then u tarill of horror would run through the crowd, as thiey bolievea some one in dan- ger or saw a wall totter and fall, The sight was an awe-nspiring ono, at least two blocks a sheet of flamo shot ward. Thoe smoke and sparks from the fire was blowing down into the streets and choked and singed the spectaiors. Suddenly a small flame was soen to loap skyward from a corner of the Independence press. In a second almost the wholo place was ablaze. Iu the yard were stored 10,000 bales of cot- ton, ani 1u & littlo ime_ 1L was _consumed. At lenizth four rows of charred walls was all that stood to remind ono that a larcoe build- ini hud once occupied the site. The place was gutted and its contents, about :0,000 bales, were consumned. “Thiére was no chunce to save any portion of the cotton, as the work of destruction was very rapid. For some time the men_worked on theso flames, and whon it became appar- ent that none of the bales of cotton could bo saved, thoy devoted their attention to the surrounding structures. Water was show- cred through windows and doorways, und everything was thoroughly wet. This prob- ably avertod a number of “conflagrations, as sparks were faliing in all directions. Fell With a Denfening Tho walls of the different, burned pressos fell within a sbort time of each other. In cach vase there was a sudden trembling, which caused the walls to fall precipitutely, a heavy surging, and then a deafening crash that could be neard sauares away, and the streets were strown with bricks and other material. ‘Tho district burned over is bounded by Peters, Front, Thalia and RRobin streets, and the presses destroved ave as follow proof, Penrose Brothers, managers: South Front street, southwest corner of Robin; Shippers, Boyd & Herrick, propricto Soutn Peters street, between Henderson and reaching Independence common yard, South PPeters street; Orleans cotton press, South Peters, botween 1 halis and Terpsichore. For toree blocks around tho burning presses, the residents moved out their furai- ture for fearthat the fire would spread to their homos, Men, women aud children wero running about with furnituro or other property whicn they wished to save. In their fight they would often abandon their parcols in the sireet, where a numwber of jlire thieves, who are generally in attendance on these oceasions, got in their work, While the firemen were working on the Fireproof press, at tha corner of Terpsichore and i’eters, the walls suddenly shook and in an instant came tumbling down, and to 1ho lorror of the already excited crowd, threo men were seen falling under them. Williy hands were soon working on the ruins and shortly the unfortunate men were tuken out, ug with pain. They wero taken in an ambulance to the bospital, whero their injuries wero dressed.

Much of this cotton will bo sent to the pickerics and saved, 50 that tho totai 10ss will probably not exceed &30 por bale, making the totalon cotton botween 32,000,000 loss on pressgs and sheds is estmated au $150,000.

While tho cotton press fire wus raging an alarm was sent iu for a fire in the residence portion of the city. It was bounded by Laurel, Annunciation, Second snd Third streets. At the time'the fira department, police and a majority of residents of the burning districts woere at the cotton press fire.
