Ban Johnson of the American league
now admits that it is only a question
of a few weeks before urn strike -fcetwgeh
the National and the American leagues
will be at an end. Negotiations toward
this end have thus far progressed so
favorably that practically all that now
remains to. be. done is for the. representa-
tives of the. two organizations to meet
and sign a treaty of peace, as it were.
Mr. Johnson has appointed the com-
mittee to meet the, National leaguers and
prepare the peace treaty. Charles Comis-
key, Charles Somers and Henry Killilea
will a.ct with him. They will meet the
National league men at a well known
club near Cincinnati, where they will be
the guests of Gus Herrman.
As soon as possible, .after the meeting
of the committee the American league
magnates will go to New York for their
annual meeting.

Garry Herrman, the chairman of the Na-
tional league committee, and that in all
probability before the time of meeting
Herrman’s committee will have full
power to a.ct for the old league, although
it has not this authority at present.
Herrman without doubt is now the real
leader of the National league, and as he
is in favor of meeting the American
league representatives on a.n equal foot-
ing he will probably be able to bring to
his committee the authority demanded
of it by Johnson.
As the American league has already
gone on record to the effect that it will
act with the other committee only under
these conditions, it will be necessary for
the National leaguers to get this. power
in order to insure the meeting, but from
the present outlook there is every reason
to believe that not only , will the meeting
be held, but also that more definite
progress will be made toward, the.much-
to-be-desired peace in baseball.

ANOTHER CLUB WANTS FIGHT.
Although the doors of many states
have been closed to Young Corbett and
Terry McGovern another fistic club Is in
line for the combat. Through the organi-
zation’s representative the Emerald A. C.
of Pittsburg has decided to make a bid
for the mill. The club held a meeting'
recently and the president, E. McNa-
mara, telegraphed to the effect that the
club was ready to offer the men a purse
or percentage if the.y will consent to fight
there. Negotiations are now pending and
it is understood that the fighters will give
the new club consideration. Boxing is
permitted at Pittsburg, but it is not
known how the authorities stand rela.-
tive to a tilt of such importance, as the
one between McGovern and Corbett. The
club is confident that there will be no in-
terference.
McNamara says that his club can hold
10,000 persons and is also willing to post
$5000 as a forfeit that the bout will come
off as per schedule.
MANY OFFERS FOR MUNROE.
Jack Munroe, miner and! pugilist, can
have, a very busy time of it for the next
few months if he cares to accept offers
of engagements that have been pouring
in on him since he obtained a decision
over Champion James J. Jeffries in
recent four-round bout.
Following Tom (Sharkey’s lead,
McCoy yesterday came out with a
lenge to meet Munroe or any man living.
McCoy says he will post a $5009 forfeit
to bind a match with
Munroe.
McCoy says that he
fries failed to do—stop
rounds or forfeit $500.
McCoy includes Fitzsimmons
challenge, and says he will take
fox on at catch weights for a. side bet.
It is considered probable that Munroe
will accept some of the. offers from New
York. Charley Horan, who manages Joe
Bernstein, has wired the . big fellow to
come, offering to pay his expenses.
Horan wants him to referee a’wrestling
match between Young Muldoon and Bern-
stein, which is to be decided at Clarendon
hall tomorrow.

feeniiy ror the supreme announcement
1 the Durbar that King Edward was em-
peror of India. Soon the great plain was
filled with crowding masses of people and
the brightly colored clothing of the vast
throng covered the space- with gorgeous
hues. The crowd on the plain was com-
posed largely of the common people, but
among it could be seen the retainers of
the various' rajahs who had' assembled for
the function.
The attention of all was fixed upon the,
white amphitheater in the center of the
plain where the announcement was to he
made.. The amphitheater was adorned
with -.Td'e.d cupolas and surrounded by
batteries, squadrons and battalions of
the Indian army. Beyond the amphi-
theater, in the distance, could be seen
great numbers of elephants, camels and
horses. So vast was the multitude that
the troops appeared as mere splashes of
color.
The arrival at the amphitheater of the
viceroy of India, Lord Curzon of Kedle-
ston, and other dignitaries and the
princes was one of the brilliant episodes
of the da£. The princes were clad in
silks and adorned with jewels and
horses and carriages were brilliant
trappings of gold.
The spectacle within the arena
most striking and gorgeous. The pathan
chiefs and the sirdars were resplendent
in brilliant raiment. (Soldiers, civilians
and visitors from far distant countries
were included among those within the
amphitheater. Upon the entrance of the
veterans of the Indian mutiny there was
tremendous enthusiasm, a.nd as the ar-
rivals marched to theii’ places the hands
played national airs. The carriage of the
Duke of Connaught, who represents
King Edward, was escorted by a detach-
ment of cavalry. As the duke and the
duchess were driven around the arena
the assemblage gave them an enthusias-
tic welcome. Amid the acclamations of
the people the duke took his seat at the
left of the throne, while t'he duchess pro-
ceeded to a place behind the throne.
When the great amphitheater was filled
and the hour for the announcement drew
near the multitude within and without
awaited expectantly the first act of the
proclamation ceremony.
Then the approach of the viceroy was
heralded. Preceded by members of his
bodyguard clad in white, blue and gold
and under the. command of Maj. Grim-
ston, Lord Curzon appeared at the en-
trance of the arena in his carriage. The
postillions wore uniforms of scarlet and
gold and the carriage was drawn by four
bay horses. The viceroy was escorted by
(Sir Pertab Fingh. Alighting from his
carriage., Lord Curzon mounted the

resumed! their seats a.fter the anthem
there was a flourish of trumpets from
the heralds and Maj. Maxwell, at the
command of the viceroy, read the proc-
lamation opening the Durbar. The royal
standard wa.s then raised on high and
the imperial salute was fired. The massed
bands marched by playing, bonfires were
started by the troops outside and it was
announced that King Edward was em-
peror of India..
There was another flourish of trumpets
and then Lord Curzon arose and stood
for a moment impassive. Then in impres-
sive tones he delivered a speech and read
the message from King
address the viceroy

loyal Indian people and
perity for the Indian empire,
also that it had been decided not to
exact interest for three years on all
loans made or guaranteed by the gov-
ernment of India to the native states in
connection with the recent famine. The
viceroy announced also the abolition of
the Indian staff corps, which has
been an army sinecure.
In the king’s message, which wa.s
read by Lord Curzon, his majesty
that the Prince and Princess of Wales
would shortly visit India. He regretted
his absence from the Durbar and sent his
greetings to the Indian people. In con-
clusion King Edward said:
“I renew the asusrances of my regard
for the liberties of the Indian people, of
my respect for their dignities and rights,
of my Interest in their advancement, and
of my devotion to their welfare. These

Lewis had a handbag which contained a
small amount -of money. On the fingers
of Miss Matthews’ left hand glittered
diamonds worth, it is said, fully $1500.
Suddenly from the crowd sprang a
young man, who held in one hand a knife

From Miss Lewis he grabbed the bag
she carried, and, seizing Miss Matthews
by the fingers, ho drew the knife across
her knuckles, cutting a deep gash.
The young woman shrieked with fright
and pain, and her assailant, without wait-
ing to make another effort to sever hee
hand, brandished his knife in the faces
of those who sprang to her rescue and
dashed west along Houston street. After
a long cha.se he was captured, but did
not surrender until beaten into subjec-

The general impression was that an at-

time protect his prisoner

The case of H. F. McFarland vs. Wil-
liam Parr & Co., for debt, which was de-
cided in favor of the defendant yester-
day, is one that has attracted wide-
spread attention among shipping men
and has occasioned no little comment.
Briefly the points involved In the case
■are as follovrs:
During the cotton season of 1896-97 Wil-
liam Parr & Co. gave the Galveston,
Houston a.nd Henderson railroad, of
which H. F. McFarland was at that time
general freight and passenger agent, a
bond, with Adoue & Lobit sureties, con-
ditioned that Parr & Co. would pay to
the railroad company when due a.ll rail-
road charges for commodities delivered
to ships for which Parr & Co. were the
Galveston agents, when the bills were
presented accompanied by receipts from
the ships. Among the. lots of cotton that
were delivered under this bond were
various ones consigned to G. B. Dobson
& Co., which were delivered to 'two ships
for which Parr & Co. were agents.
The first of these, ships sailed from Gal-
veston on Dec. 20, 1896, a.nd the last
sailed from here on Dec. 31, 1896.
last delivery of the Dobson cotton,
made on Christmas day, 1896. The
road company at first presented
freight bills to Dobson & Co., to be,
by that firm.
suspended, and on Jan. 4, 1897, five days
after the la.st ship had sailed from Gal-
veston and after Parr & Co. had given
Dobson & Co. a clear receipt for the cot-
ton, the railroad company presented bills
for freight amounting to $3900 incurred in
the, delivery of the Dobson cotton to Parr
& Co, for payment. Parr & Co. refused
to pay these bills on the score the rail-
roa.d company had waited until they
could not have recourse to recover the
money from Dobson & Co., and also on
the score that as the bills had first been
presented to Dobson & Co. by this act
notice was given Parr & Co. as to where
the railroad company looked for its
freight money. The railroad company
contended the bond of Pa.rr & Co. covered
just such cases as those presented and
it was in this shape the matter was taken
to the courts. The first trial did not re-
sult in a verdict, but the
yesterday was in favor
tions of Parr & Co.
The outcome of this
ably be the railroads
the payment of all freights due on con-
signments before the cars are ordered
switched to the ships’ sides. If this does
result there will be a world of incon-
venience from its practice. Mr. James B.
Stubbs, who was Parr & Co.’s counsel,
says the, decision does not in any manner
conflict or bear upon the validity of the
bonds the ship brokers now have given
to the railroads and the decision can in
no way be construed to hold these bonds
•of indemnity worthless. If Dobson & Co.
had had a bond with the railroad the
matter would have been settled with his
sureties, but that firm did not have bonds
with the railroads for freight purposes.
On a previous occasion Parr & Co. re-
turned to the railroad company certain
bills for freight upon cotton consigned
to Dobson & Co, with the information
that Dobson &. Co. would pay the partic-
ular bills. These

Whoopela!
Amid the screeching of a hundred
whistles, the popping of a thousand fire,
crackers, the firing of a hundred fire-
arms, the shouts and huzzas of a thou-
sand people and' a drizzle sort of a drizzle
the New Year was ushered in 20 minutes
ahead of its birth last night. The time
that is currently used here is approxi-
mately tha.t much too fust. When it is
midnight on standard timed chronome-
ters it is 11.40 according tjo the time made
by old Sol in his monotonous and weary
day perpetual job of sun-lighting the
world.
On the wharf front one had a right to
truly believe “that hell was empty and
all the devils are here.” The dingy look-
ing old tramp, with her hoarse’ and
pounding whistle, split the air with harsh
sounds in welcoming the new year. The

bells were ringing,
the large boy and
sister a.nd the big sisters of the large boy,
the fathers, the mothers, sweethearts and
wives and wives who are sweethearts
kept vigil, anxiously watching the hands
on the selected timepiece as they, with a
snail like pace, gradually ticked off the
dying moments of an old .year and
marked the approach of the new one.
And finally, when the last moment of the
dear old friend. 1902, ebbed into the past,
there were shouts for the new year in
the world’s calendar, with but few re-
grets being heard of the dead annum.
Today is the da.y when new resolutions
will receive their first test. Some of
these new resolutions have been born
after deep meditations and many dark
brown tastes. They have been fortified
by earnest hope and serious considera-
tion. In certain parlance they are double
distilled and sour-mashed. There can be
no question of the good intentions of
many thousands of the resolution makers.
There can be no doubt that many of the
resolutions will fade into a state of in-
nocuous diesuetudie. ere the makers be-
come accustomed to writing the -year
1903. Their practice will be shunned as
the hydrophobia afflicted canine is sup-
posed to shun aqua pura or any other
old kin dof aqua. But with all this,
here’s to the success of the resolutions
that have been made.
One custom that formerly graced the
first day of a new year in Galveston will
not be observed here this year. The gal-
lants will not. tog • out in their formal
suits and pay theii- respects to the ladies
fair of this city, who are prepared to re-
. ceive and welcome the coming and speed
the parting guest. New Year’s calling
is no longer considered the proper caper.
Like duelling, like the hoop skirts, like
the many other pleasant; and in some in-
stances unpleasant and cumbersome cus-
toms that have been born and have
flourished for a spell, this custom, too,
has been relegated and no substitute has
yet been called into play, to take its place.
Those who are now young grandfathers
will have pleasant remembra.nce.s of this
day in the long ago brought vividly to
their recollections and will say some un-
kind. things about those young men who
tomorrow will fill higher places in the
race of life, not being able to differen-
tiate between the pleasant apd the un-
pleasant

the great Oma.r has said, all the tears,
all the piety and all the wit of all the
people of this great globe can not wash
out a single happening that has already
been chronicled. The value of the past
year can but be apperciated in the actions
of the present. There is naught left of
1902 but memories. These memories
should serve as guide posts to make
easier the road of 1903?
