Cairo, Egypt, March 22.—Sif H. H. Kitch-
ener. brigadier general in command of the
Egyptian forces, and Slatin Pasha have

A Sunday Call.
London. March 23.—The Standard has a
dispatch from Cairo which says: There
are already 6000 troops at Wady Haifa, but
there is no intention of marching upon
Dongola until they have 10,000 troops.
The French ambassador, Baron de Cour-
cel. had a longL interview with Lord Salis-
bury at the wrrer'e home on Sunday. The
conference is supposed to have dealt with
the subject of the Nile expedition. An of-
ficial visit by an ambassador on Sunday
to the private residence of the prime min-
ister or minister of foreign affairs is an
unusual circumstance, and this leads to
the supposition thit the cause of Baron de
Courcel's call was an important one.
PreNM News and Comment.
London. March 23.—A Vienna dispatch to
the Times says Russia supports the French
view of the Dongola expedition.
The Paris correspondent of the Times,
commenting upon bogus telegrams pub-
lished by the French newspapers, which
are intended to excite public feeling on the
Egyptian question, declares that France is
repeating the same mistake she made in
1882. upon the occasion of the bombardment
of Alexandria and the occupation of Egypt
by the British.
England Has a Mission.
London, March 23.—An Odessa dispatch
to the News says: The Novoe Vremya and
the Novosti admit that England has a mis-
sion to protect the Nile valley and that
Dongola, Cassala and Berber, the three
keys to the Soudan, must eventually fall
into England's hands.
Strike Ended.
London, March 23.—A dispatch from Vien-
na to the Chronicle says: The strike of
miners in Silesia has ended and the miners
have obtained most of their demands.
Generals Fight a Duel.
Rome, March 22.—A duel has occurred be-
tween General Mocenni, minister of war in
the Crispi cabinet, and Signor Brazalla,
arising out of a sharp personal alterca-
tion which took place in the chamber of
deputies on Saturday regarding the recall
of General Baratieri from Abyssinia. Gen-
eral Barzalla was wounded in the left
cheek as a result of the duel.
According to the Italia, General Baratieri
reports that the negus of Abyssinia has
imi>osed new and unacceptable conditions,
which are likely to delay the conclusion of
peace between Italy and Abyssinia.
The AliysMlnlan Mar.
Mas?owah, March 22.—A force of 600 der-
vishes attacked Sabderat Pass on March 8.
It was defended by eighty native troops,
and the enemy were defeated and fled,
leaving forty-one killed. The Italian loss
was three killed.
On March 18 1500 dervishes renewed the
attack, but thefr were repulsed four times
with heavy loss. Three thousand dervishes
are still threatening the pass, and rein-
forcements have been dispatched from
Cassala.
The negus. Menelik, has ordered his
chiefs to meet him at Ma,kalee, where he
will bid them farewell and return to Shea.
Adigrat has been furnished with a plen-
tiful supply of water, to last until the end
of April.
British Vessel Detained.
New York, March 22.—A special to the
World from Bridgetown, Barbadoes, West
Indies, saya an iron mine in Venezuela, on
the southern bank of the Coronosimo river,
one of the affluents of the Orinoco, is
owned by a London syndicate. In the in-
terests of the owners George Turnbull of
Boston visited this island, chartered the
British schooner New Day of St. Johns,
N. F., Captain Baxter, and sailed from this
port December 20 for Venezuela, with about
eighty laborers and a miscellaneous cargo.
Nothing further of the New Day and her
freight was heard. Captain Baxter arrived
here from Venezuela, via Trinidad, to-day.
He reports that after the vessel finished
discharging her cargo at Imataca, January
12. he went to Ciudad Bolivar to clear the
Vessel. The examination of the vessel's
manifest was declared to be satisfactory,
but clearance papers were refused. On
January 28 the custom house collector
stated that he had orders to seize the New
Day, which, however, he would not do,
but await further instructions. Meantime,
Captain Baxter entered his protest before
the acting British consul. Captain Baxter
and his crew wero taken before a court.
No charge was made or fault found with
hi* papers or action, yet clearance of the
vessel continued to be withheld. On ad-
vice of the acting consul. Captain Baxter
then took passage for Barbadoes, via Trini-
dad. He reported to the governor, and a
telegram was sent to the imperial authori-
ties at London, and Captain Baxter was
dirocted to return to Ciudad Bolivar and
await the action'of the British government.
Her majesty's ship Cordelia, which has
been lying here, is prepared to sail. It
is said that she is ordered to Bolivar to
demand the clearance of the New Day.
Reply to a Memorial.
London, March 22.—Lord Salisbury has
sent a reply to the memorial in favor of
Anglo-American arbitration of the Venezu-
elan question, adopted by the peace society
at a meeting in Queen's hall. The reply is
addressed to Rt. Hon. James Stansfield,
ex-member of parliament, who presided at
the meeting. Lord Salisbury says:
"I am plad to be able to inform you that
this question is receiving the consideration
of the government, and that proposals in
the direction indicated by the memorial are
now before the government of the United
States."
Comment on the Reply.
London, March 23.—The Daily News (lib-
eral) has an editorial on Lord Salisbury's
reply to the memorial of the peace asso-
ciation for arbitration of the Venezuelan
dispute, in which it says: "Lord Salis-
bury's letter is the most hopeful word we
have had for a long time from the pre-
mier. We hope that it portends a definite
clearing of the international situation in
one of the stormiest quarters. We may
even dreain that it will presage a new and
brighter era in the world's history. It is
not clear whether the question has be^n
advanced a stage or whether the govern-
ment has merely confirmed and adopted
Lord Hosebery's policy. If Lord Salisbury
is able to convert his words into deeds he
will go far to make his present term of
office illustrious and beneficent."
The Chronicle says there Ib no need to
trouble ourselves further about Venezuela.
Excitement In Barcelona.
Barcelona, March 22.—A renewed mani-
festation of the emotional npirits of the
citizens of this town was made to-day,
though no hoetUe demonstration was at-
tempted against tho United State* con-
sulate as on previous occasions. As is
usual on Sunday, there was a promenade
of licht hearted holidavmakers, and a con-
cert and band for the enjoyment of the
promenaders. A remarkable scene occurred
during the afternoon, which seemed to be
occasioned by a spontaneous movement of
the crowd. Cries were raised for the play-
ing of the national march by the band, and
the regular programme of the concert had
to be interrupted to satisfy the Remands,
so importunate were the cries. The crowd
then proceeded in a body to the French
consulate* where a deputation entered ta
express sentiments of friendship and es-
teem for Fiance. The people here are con-
fident in their belief that France is pledged
to assist Spain in a possible contlict with
the United States. A crowd of 5000 per-
sons outside was meanwhile excitedly
cheering for Spain. Weyler and Cuba. The
American consulate and the chief thor-
oughfares of the city were guarded by
gendarmes as a precautionary measure,
but tl.ere was no attempt at violent disor-
der.
Believed to Be Filibusters.
Chincoteague Island. Va., March 22.—A
body of strange men are encamped on
Assateague l>each. and it is believed by
residents on the island that the strangers
are a crowd of filibsters who are preparing
to leave for Cuba on a steamer that is to
call for them. The men came ashore more
than a week ago. and their actions have
been so mysterious as to cause considera-
ble comment. The visitors were landed in
rowbeats from a small steamer, which pro-
ceeded down the bay. When questioned
the men said they had been put ashore
while the steamer went down to Norfolk
for coal, and that they were awaiting the
return of the steamer. Residents of the
island believe that the strangers are a
part of the expedition that was to go on
the Bermuda. The place selected is an
Ideal one for filibusters. It is frequented
only by gunners. The water is deep about
the beach, and there would be no difficulty
in getting away without discovery. It is
far enough away from the ocean to escape
a Spanish cruiser, and a United States
revenue cutter is seldom seen.
The Steamer Three Friends.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 22.—The steamer
Three Friends arrived in port to-day with
the arms and ammunition still on board.
A denial was made by the captain that the
vessel has been anywhere except to Key
West. He says that General Callaxo was
not on board.
A letter was received here to-day by an
American from an American on a sugar
plantation in Cuba telling of atrocities
committed by the Spaniards. It states
that since sympathy has been shown by
the congress of the United States toward
the Cubans, the feeling of the Spaniards
toward Americans on the island is grow-
ing in bitterness.
Havana War News.
Havana. March 22.—Colonel Villas had an
engagement with the insurgents in the hills
of Rubi in Pinar del Rio. The insurgents
were dislodged from their position, leaving
seven killed and carrying off their wound-
ed. The troops had one soldier killed and
two officers and nine soldiers wounded.
The column of General Linares assisted,
engaging the left fiank of the insurgents,
who were put to flight. General Linares
overtook them in the hills of Rosario,
causing them a heavy loss.
$
GENERAL CALIXTO GARCIA.
A leader of the Cuban Insurrection in
1868; a prisoner in Spain for five years;
prominent in the expedition of 1880; again
a prisoner of Spain, but escaped with his
life, and now an escaped prisoner of the
United States for violation of the laws of
neutrality.
General Bernal attacked the insurgents
In an intrenched position on the coffee
plantation of Estella, near Cienega, in Ma-
tanzas. By the use of artillery and cav-
alry he dislodged them, securing fifteen
prisoners. The insurgents carried off many-
dead and wounded. The prisoners were
courtmartlaled.
A three days' service in advocacy of
peace is being conducted at the cathedral
by the bishop. General Weyler and several
general commissions participated in the
service.
Prefer AVar to a Commission.
Madrid, March 22.—The Heraldo says:
Spain can never officially recognize a Unit-
ed States commission of inquiry into Cuban
affairs. It is impossible that President
Cleveland could have such an idea. War
between Spain and America would be pref-
erable.
The Heraldo also says: Spain in former
times has accepted the consequences of
more terrible struggles than would be a
war with the United States, and we should
prefer to risk a war to recognizing the
commission.
Echo the Heraldo.
London. March 23.—A Madrid dispatch to
the Standard says: Almost all the news-
papers here pretend to regard as unfound-
ed the rumor that President Cleveland will
appoint a Cuban commission, and they
echo the sentiments of the Heraldo on the
subject. No official Intimation of such a
question has been received here.
Monterey Waterworks and Sewers.
City of Mexico, March 22.—J. A. Robert-
son of Monterey has been granted an im-
portant concession by Governor Reyes of
the state of Nuevo Leon for waterworks
and sewers for the city of Monterey. The
contract involves an expenditure of $1,500,-
000, and the work will be modern and first
class in all respects. Samuel M.* Gray, a
distinguished sanitary engineer of Provi-
dence, R. I., has charge of the work.
Aaron French, an engineer of Pittsburg,
is president of the company, and the Cook
financial company and other Chicago capi-
talists are interested. The concession is
regarded as a very liberal and a valliable
one, and Monterey will be the first city in
the country to have modern water and
sewer facilities.
Tendered His Resignation.
Constantinople, March 22.—At the meeting
of tho Armenian council, the Armenian
patriarch Izermerlian offered his resigna-
tion owing to his failure to obtain any
concessions from the government to ameli-
orate the condition of the Armenians. The
council, however, unanimously begged the
patriarch not to resign and to continue
his efforts.
Mr. Gladstone has donated £100 to the
Armenian fund.
Reception to Alf and Bob Taylor.
Taylor, Williamson Co., Tex., March 21.—
Ex-Governor James S. Hogg of Austin has
accepted an Invitation to a banquet and
reception to be given "Bob" and "Alf"
Taylor by Mr. and Mrs. William F. Rob-
ertson next Monday night. An excellent
musical Programme is being arranged by
local talent for the reception, which is to
take place after the entertainment at the
opera hduse.
Freight Train Wrecked.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 22.—A broken
track caused the wreck of a freight train
on the Florida Central and Peninsula rail-
road near Madison. Twelve cars were
thrown off the track and much damage
was done. Two tramps wlft> were stealing
a ride were killed and another seriously in-
jured.
Struck by a Freight Train.
Cry an,. Brazos Co., Tex., March 22.—A
negro named Jim Damascus, aged about 55
years, was struck by a freight train here
this afternoon and knocked from the track.
He was able to walk with assistance a few
minutes after the accident* He was spit*
ting some blood and coibplfjned of his !
back. The extent of his injuries is not I
known.
RAILWAY INTERESTS.
The H. E. & W. T. Hallway.
Houston. Tex.. March 22.-Ever since the
death of Colonel E. S. Jemison. who owned
the Houston East and West Texas road,
there have been rumors of a prospective
change in the ownership of the prof>erty,
and speculation has been rife as to who
would secure it. No one has doubted that
it would be absorbed by sone one of the
big systems, but the question of which
one furnished the theme for discussion.
A News reporter recently interviewed
Captain James A. Baker, jr.. who repre-
sents the Jemison estate, and Colonel M.
G. Howe, manager of the road, and was
informed by each of the gentlemen that
they knew nothing of a prospective change.
T'.«May a Houston paper revives the re-
port and says it has information that the
property has been sold to the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe. to be used in con-
junction with the gulf end of that system.
The basis of that information is not given,
and it must pass as a mere rumor, and
will probably turn out to be unfounded,
as the direction taken by the Houston East
anil West Texas does not. make it a
specially desirable addition to the Atchison
system.
The fact is appearances point to an en-
tirely different absorption.
J. T. Mahl, engineer of maintenance of
right of way for the Southern Pacific, son
of the man who stands next to Huntington
in Southern Pacific affairs, has recently
returned from a trip over the whole lino
of the Houston East and West Texas. He
went in Manager Howe's private car, tak-
ing with him his stenographer and accom-
panied by Superintendent Cronin. He
made a careful examination of the road,
the condition of the track, the value of Its
buildings and grounds, and took copious
notes of everything connected with the
property that a probable purchaser could
wish to know.
When questioned concerning the matter,
Mr. Mahl said-Sjie didn't know whether
Mr. Huntington wanted the report made
for himself, with a view to adding the
road to the Southern Pacific property, or
whether he wanted the information for
somebody else. In no event Is it likely
that the report was wanted for the Atchi-
son people, for the relations between them
and Huntington are not such as would
render probable their calling on him to
have the examination made by one of his
trusted employes, it is not likely, either,
that Mr. Mahl would have gone on the
trip had the deal already been made, using
his report as a basis, so soon after the
examination was made.
In case the Southern Pacific should get
the 'Frisco away from the Atchison sys-
tem, then the Atchison might want the
Houston East and West Texas to give it a
St. Louis connection, but it has not yet
lost the 'Frisco.
If Huntington can not consummate a
deal for the 'Frisco, then he might well
want the Houston East and West Texas
for a St. Louis connection over the Queen
and Crescent.
Whether Huntington secures the 'Frisco
or the Atchison retains it. the Queen and
Crescent people might well wish to secure
the Houston East and West Texas to
give them an opening into Texas, and a
chance at the immense trade this empire
of territory is promising all roads that
enter the state boundaries.
Straightening Out Kinks.
Orange, Tex., March 21.—Colonel June
Cox, general claim agent of the Southern
Pacific railroad, was here to-day straight-
ening out some kinks in freight matters
at this place.
Condemnation Proceedings.
Beaumont, Tex., March 21.—Condemna-
tion proceedings were to-day filed against
M. J. Loeb and Frank Brewton for right
of way purposes for the Kansas City, Pitts-
burg and Gulf.
RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
Eva Booth's Mission.
Chicago, 111., March 22.—Commissioner
Eva Booth's mission to Chicago Is claimed
by the seceders to be a failure. Salvation-
ists at headquarters say openly that is the
result. At the meeting this afternoon of
the northwestern division of the Salvation
army held at Princess rink the building
was crowded to the doors. Demonstra-
tions of approval were frequent during the
young commissioner's address, but those
who are the backbone of the northwestern
division were silent. The dissenting sol-
diers and officers expected to hear from
the lips of Eva Booth an explanation of
the difficulty between Ballington Booth
and his father. Her apparent disposition
was to pass over the dispute in silence.
Only once was she Interrupted. That was
when she spoke of the "principles of the
army."
"Tell us what those principles are,
please," cried one In the audience. There
was confusion for an instant, with talk
of putting the disturber out of doors. Then
Eva answered: "Those principles are too
well, too widely known—too numerous to
mention. For the principles of the army
look to its publications; look to its work
in this city; look to its work in the world.
My time is too limited. It has been stated
by some who know very little of our work
that we wish to anglicize the work wher-
ever we inaugurate it. There is no other
organization on earth that is a greater be-
liever in the doctrine of 'When In Rome
do as do the Romans.' "
Miss Booth spoke with tears of the grief
of the old general, and held up her broth-
ers and sisters and herself as examples of
the undiscrimlnating arbitrariness or their
father's orders.
"Are you satisfied with the commission-
er's explanation?" an officer was asked
after the commissioner's address.
"Do you call that an explanation? What
did she say? She talked around the ques-
tion we are asking, and turned the meet-
ing into a salvation service. Walt until
Ballington comes."
Ballington Booth is expected here next
Saturday. He will speak in Central Music
hall and an open revolt and transfer of
allegiance is promised.
Ordered to London.
New York, March 22.—Many were the ex-
pressions of surprise at the headquarters
of the Salvation army to-day when the
news leaked out that Colonel William
Eddy, the chief secretary, had received a
cablegram from General Booth ordering
him to London. One of the stipulations
that Ballington made to the three commis-
sioners who were sent here to get him to
withdraw was that. Colonel Eddy should
go to England and never return. The offi-
cers of tho Salvation army and the Ameri-
can volunteers look upon this as the first
step taken by the old general toward ef-
fecting a reconciliation with his son.
Booth-Tucker, newly appointed commander
of the United States forces, who has al-
ready sailed from England, is known to bo
the bearer of several propositions to Bal-
lington Booth.
Satolll at Scranton, Pa.
Scranton, Pa., March 22.—Cardinal Satolll
and a distinguished party of other Catholic
ecclesiastics participated in the consecra-
tion to-day of Rev. Dr. Michael J. Hogan
as coadiutor bishop of the Scranton dio-
cese. The consecration was by Satolll, who
was assisted by Bishops Thomas McGovern
of Harrisburg and Thomas D. Beaven of
Springfield, Mass. The cathedral was
crowded to the door, while a large crowd
was on the outside. Among the distin-
guished prelates present were Archbishop
Ryan of Philadelphia and Bishops O'Hara
of Scranton, Horstman of Cleveland, Mul-
len of Erie. Michaud of Burlington. Vt.,
Phelan of Pittsburg, McFaul of Trenton,
McQuald of Rochester, Silard of Vincennes,
Ind., and Ludden of Syracuse. Nearly 175
priests of the diocese were present. A purse
of $3700, contributed by the priests of the
diocese, was given to Bishop Hogan.
Protracted Meeting.
Hallettsvllle, Lavaca Co., Tex., March
22.—The protracted meeting which has been
in progress in the Methodist Episcopal
church for some fifteen days will be con-
tinued till the latter part of this week.
Much fine preaching lias been done and
much interest manifested. Local Pastor
W. J. Sims has had several other preach-
ers to at times assist, and to-day Rev.
John W. Sims of Sweet Home preached.
After the sermon some twenty-five persons
united with the ohurch. Prof. Vaughn
of Oak Cliff, Dallas, has charge of the
■J1 V./U.JY ' 111 I, J-'IUIOO, U1 1
music and singing. This afternoon, at 3
o'clock, services were held for the con«
victs, who are now here for a few days
Working on the railroad track.
THE YOUNGER COLTS.
THEY WIN A GAME FROM A LOCAL
TEAM BY A SCORE OF
7 TO 1.
REGULARS BEAT HOUSTON.
The Older Members of the Windy
City Club Defeat the Bayou
City Boys by 5 to 3.
The new members of the Chicago team
played here yesterday against a local team
composed partly of the Galveston league
team and partly of amateurs. This Is but
the second game the Chlcagos have been
able to play this spring.
If the Colts thought they had a snap
when they bucked against the local aggre-
gation they were mistaken, for as those
in the stands were anxious to see the home
boys show up well, they put ginger in the
game.
Hardy, who was in the box tor the Gal-
vestonians, is a steady twirler. and it is
dollars to doughnuts that Inside of two
years he will be In the major league.
The weather was threatening throughout
the entire game, and there was a pretty
strong wind blowing.
Danny Friend umpired the game and
gave satisfaction, although it was very
laughable once when Kilfcy made a "fake"
kick, just for a "josh."'
The game was not a slow one by any
manner of means, and It took only a play
of the slightest merit by the home team
to awaken the enthusiasm of those present.
While the game was almost featureless,
still the two double plays of the home
team were well received.
Yesterday's game developed the fact more
than ever that while the new men of the
Chlcagos may be wonders in field work,
with a few exceptions they are not wonders
at the bat. Below is Riven the names of
the best stickers among them.
The Galveston team got but three hits.
They should have had four, as Lyons made
a clean single, but unfortunately a man
was caught running to third and Lyons
was cheated out of the hit.
Lyons, who is playing first for the Gal-
veston team, held down the initial for the
home club. He is a good fielder and a
splendid sticker and promises to prove as
good as the best in the league.
Badger caught for the home team, and
seems to be in good condition. Page played
third in his usual good manner. *
'Mutton" Gates played short and was a
perfect circus in his anger at being fanned
twice, but was very proud when ne made
the only score of his side.
The amateurs on the team did fair work
and played great favorites with the fans,
who applauded their every play. Hersey
was cheered when he stepped to the plate
and Dolan, to give him a reputation, threw
him an easy ball, which he lined out amid
yells of delight. Cawthorn's and Smith's
catching of flies caught the crowd.
Mackey of the San Antonio team played
second base for the Galveston club and
put up good steady ball.
Dolan was the twirler for the Colts and
shewed up nicely, the practice having done
him a world of good. His delivery Is not
swift, but is steady, and he has the happv
faculty of putting the ball wherever tne
man who Is catching him wants. He Is no
artistic juggler with the stick, though.
Tim Donahue caught a pretty game,
it can be seen that ne has benefited great-
ly by his spring work. He is exceptionally
proficient now in throwing to second.
"Josh" Riley has picked up probably
more than any other man on the team. He
Is agile as a cat on his feet and gets
around the infield to wherever the ball is.
He is a fair sticker and a fine coacher, in-
fusing great life Into the game.
Flynn played fair ball, but did some good
hitting, getting three sjngles out of four
times at bat. He is one of the few good
men among the new colony who can bat.
Right here it may be said .that while the
Colts are all good men In the field, few of
them are able to Juggle with the stick.
McBride, Flynn and McFarland, though,
are above the average new man.
Parrott did good fielding
his agility to advantage. Parker, the gen-
tlemanly M. D., played a position from
which no estimate could be made of what
he can do. although the members of the
team say he is up In pitching. His batting,
it must be said, is weak, but may improve
in time.
McFarland made another two-bagger yes-
terday. showing that he is above the aver-
age pitcher in sending the ball out. He
covered one of the gardens. Rice says he
should not be judged by his work in the
outfield, as he has never played there be-
fore.
In all probability the weather will be
good during the coming week and daily
practice games will be had.

Game nt Houston.
Houston, Tex., March 22.—Three thou-
sand people saw a peach Of a ball game at
the Fair Grounds park thir afternoon be-
tween the Chicago team and the new
Houston aggregation, and 3000 people cam#
away firmly convinced that tho other Tex-
as leaguers will have to play ball to beat
the Houston boys out in the pennant race,
The game was snappy and full of ginger
on both sides, some Of the plays being lit-
tle short of phenomenal, and but for a lit-
tle wild ihrowing by the home team in the
fourth the game might have resulted dif-
ferently.
As It was the home team played bril-
liantly most of the time, executing three
neat double plays, one of them being from
left field and another from center. Becker
and Slasel in the two gardens just named
above played so brilliantly that a repeti-
tion of their work will be apt to win for
them a title to the town, with nothing left
for them but to record a deed of partition
and fence up their property.
Anson's colts are playing a wonderful-
ly steady game for so early In the season,
and much of the work done to-day by Ev-
erett. Dahlen and Truby Will not be ex-
celled by anybody on any grounds. The
two pitchers tried here—Tnornton and
Brlggs, have great speed, and the former
has line control. He is a big l>oned, awk-
ward looking youngster, but if he doesn't
get his head swelled he will make a star.
The local fans are enthusiastic over the
outlook for a good season, and If the other
cities in the Texas league have as good
teams as Houston has secured there will
be lots of sport for everybody.

Sonthern Baseball League.
Birmingham. Ala., March 22.—The South-
ern association of baseball clubs met here
to-day in the Morris hotel in adjourned ses-
sion for the purpose of arranging a sched-
ule for the coming season. Cities repre-
sented were as follows: Atlanta, C. Bruffy
and James Knowles; Birmingham, G. B.
Allison and Colonel Jacobs; Memphis, B.
Bruce and Charles Frank; Little Rock,
Aaron Frank; Montgomery. Barry L. Holt;
Mobile; E. V. O'Connor; New Orleans. Hen-
ry Powers; Nashville was not represented.
The minutes of the Mobile meeting were
approved. A communication was read from
Dr. L. C. White of Nashville, announcing
that in view of the action taken at the
meeting in Mobile last Sunday the Nash-
ville club has no other option than to with-
draw from the Southern association. Ac-
companying this was the resignation of Dr.
White as a director of the Southern asso-
ciation.
It was promptly moved by Birmingham
and seconded by Mobile that Nashville be
dropped from the league. This was carried
unanimously, the members voting showing
much feeling at the way Nashville had
acted. Dr. White's resignation followed the
same course. A committee of two was ap-
pointed to go to Columbus, Ga., and ar-
range for the admission of that city.
Some question having arisen as to the
ownership of the Memphis franchise, a
resolution was introduced granting the
franchise of that city to H. B. Bruce und
Charles Frank, president and secretary re-
spectively of the Memphis club.
Barry L. Holt of Montgomery was au-
thorised to draft a schedule to be final and
to be accepted by the league without pro-
test. The next annual meeting will be held
in Little Rock. The meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the president.
Handicap Baseball.
New Orleans. La.. March 22.—The first
professional handicap ball game on record
was played by Cincinnati and New Orleans
to-day, Cincinnati putting out four of the
New Orleans each Inning to New Orleans
putting out three, of the visitors. The han-
dicap was originated by Manager Bancroft
of the Reds, and made the game close and
exciting for six Innings, when the home
team changed pitchers and the visitors took
to his delivery and pounded out runs
enough to win the game. Cincinnati will
play the home team again next Sunday,
and then start home^jdaying Montgomery.

Baseball at Lullng.
Luling. Caldwell Co., Tex., March 22.—
The Luling Browns played their first match
game of the season yesterday afternoon
against a scratch team composed of some
of the old time invincible Luling Monarchs
and a few baseball enthusiasts. The old
Monarchs reckoned without their host.
They forgot the physiological lesson that
the muscular fibers either grow or waste
away, according as they are used or al-
lowed to lie idle. They found that men of
So are not as nimble as lads of 16, and they
returned home sadder but wiser men, hav-
ing decided that the grand stand was the
best place to view a baseball game from.
The score stood 25 to 10 in favor of the Lul-
ing Browns.
The Browns in Dallas.
Dallas, Tex., March 22.—The game be-
tween the St. Louis Browns and the Dallas
league team to-day resulted in a victory
for the former by a score of 8 to 6. Up to
tho fifth inning It was a very pretty game,
and but for the wild throwing of K&lkhoff
the home team would have been an easy
winner. St. Louis had four different pitch-
ers in during the progress of the game.
The Galveston Juniors Won.
The Galveston Juniors played the Cigar
Boxes and beat them in a game of baseball
yesterday afternoon on the corner of
Twenty-fifth and avenue Q by a score of
24 to 8.
/ Driving Parle Races.
The big crowd that went to the driving
park yesterday was well repaid for the
trouble, for the races were first class and
all run on their merits. The race between
Joe Maxwell and Allie C. was quite a dis-
appointment to the friends of Maxwell,
who had backed him to win. Alllb C. won
in two straight heats with ease. Time:
2.59&.
The half mile running race between Grey-
hound and Sailor was won by Sailor by a
length. Time: .56.
The roadster race between Joe L., Wal-
ter Gresham and Charley C. was won by
Walter Gresham in two straight heats.
Time: 3.25 and 3.18.
The cow pony race for the bridle and sad-
dle given by H. J. Schneider was the sport
of the day. Well started and all equally
matched, they run In a bunch to the home
stretch, when Annie pulled away and won
by a length from Old Jerry, with Pat a
close third. Time: .28%.
In the last race, quarter of a mile dash,
owners up, between Sailor, Great Scott,
Gray Buck and Old Boy, was won by
Sailor, lapped by Old Boy, Great Scott
third and Gray Buck fourth. Time: .29.
The management desires The News to
express its thanks to the public for the
liberal patronage; also to the city railroad
company for the efficient car service.
There will be races again on April 5, for
which the programme will be advertised
later.
Shooting: Tournament.
New York, March 22.—The Interstate as-
sociation's fortieth grand American handi-
cap, which is to be shot off at El wood
Park, N. J., next week, has attracted un-
usually large numbers of entries. This
year the wing shots who are anxious to

pigeon shooting number ninety-two. The
tournament will begin Tuesday morning.
Four events are on the urogramme for the
opening day—the Klwood Park Introducto-
ry, Branchport sweepstakes, Nitrate pow-
der handicap, and Sportsmen's handicap.
It is unlikely that the tournament will be
concluded until Friday.
Unfounded Rumor.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 22.—The announce-
ment was published yesterday that the fa-
mous Pittsburg bicyclist, George Banker,
had died at Nice, France, on Friday last
of typhoid fever. Arthur L. Banker to-
night received the following cablegram
from F. C. Harron. Paris: "Rumor un-
founded; George slightly better."
Hund Ball Championship.
Chicago, 111., March 22.—Louis Keegan
and Wm. Carney of this city won the hand
ball championship of America and a purse
of $500 here to-day by easily defeating Phil
Casey and James Dunn, the Brooklyn ex-
perts. in four straight games. The series
consisted of thirteen games, six of which
were played in Brooklyn and the remainder
here.

door tandem records.

Centerville, Tex., March 21.—The follow-
ing letter, signed by Mr. S. A. Castles,
was handed to The News correspondent,
with request that he forward same to The
News for publication. The sound money
democrats regard it as being good sound
money doctrine:
Oneta. Leon Co., Tex.. March 14.—To
Hon. John H. Reagan. Austin. Tex.—Dear
Sir and Friend: I nave read your two let-
ters as recently published in the press. I
thought at the time that I would Immedi-
ately answer them through the press, but
1 have been so very busy repairing fences,
plowing and trying to plant corn that I
could not possibly spare the time until
now. And it seems, while 1 have been re-
pairing my farm fences, you have Jumped
out of the democratic pasture, broke tho
wire and left ths gap down for the pops
to come in and capture the ranch. I write
not in the spirit of anger or abuse that
some are disposed to treat your public
utterances with, but with the most kindly
feeling of respect toward you. My father
taught me In childhood to love and re-
spect you as one who cast your lot with
Texas before it was a state, and your
name is associated with other Illustrious
statesmen who have made Texas one of
the greatest states that shines in the grand
galaxy of states In the old union; as a
jurist whose record was without blemish,
and as a cltlsen who cast his lot with the
chivalrous sons of Dixie and offered your
life on the altar of your country, and
marched to the "tented field" to defend a
cause then dear to every southern heart,
and doubly dear now. because our cause
has been baptised in the best blood ever
offered for any cause. When the tocsin of
war was sounded my father responded
with you to his country's call, and my
only brother, as hale and hearty a youth
as ever wore the gray, volunteered in the
Thirty-seventh Texas cavalry, and after
two years of soldier's life was sent home
a corpse. The day I was 12 years 1 month
and 3 days old I was sworn into the con-
federate army, company B, Burns* regi-
ment, Robinson's brigade. So you see,
dear judge. 1 enlisted very young under
your banner. I love and honor you for
your wise counsel in our confederate cabi-
net. 1 shall teach my children to honor
your name after you and I are gone, as
one who stood by the immortal Jefferson
Davis to the very last—yea. even followed
him to the dungeon. I shall teach my lit-
tle boys to honor you as one who stood by
his country in the darkest days that ever
befell this nation—the days of reconstruc-
tion: as one of the MtfKtUi w ho laid thi
foundation to reunite our divided and
ruined country. I .yield to no man, living
or dead, a greater appreciation for your
long and useful life In our national coun-
cils. I believe every vote you cast and
every measure you espoused you honestly
believed was for your country's good: and
last, but not least. I believe you to be an
honest man and a conscientious Christian.
If I mistake not, my iirst and last vote
was cost for you, and it grieves me now
to know that we shall have to ptyrt com-
pany.
As I construe your letters, you state
that every one who does not believe in
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 to be a republican.
Now you know, dear judge, this is a ques-
tion that has been legislated upon and dis-
cussed almost from the creation of man
to this good hour, and has resulted in 70
per cent cf the nations of the world adopt-
ing the gold standard. We are told in the
23d chapter of Genesis that Abraham
bought the field of Machpelah. which Is be-
fore Manervere, from Epheson, the Hit-
tite, with 400 shekels of silver, cuvront
money with the merchants. Now I am per-
fectly willing to leave It to any Biblical
scholar if the reading of this scripture
does not convey the Idea beyond a doubt
that what was current money with one
nation or tribe at this early date was not
current money with other tribes or na-
tions. History informs us that all. or near-
ly all, the European nations have legislat-
ed on this question for nearly a thousand
years, trying to adjust by legal tender laws
the ratio of the two metals, to secure tho
parity of the two metals, to secure a
double standard, and have made a failure
in every instance. If history is correct
our own nation has some sad experience
along this line. I construe the coinage
law of 1792 to be a free and unlimited coin-
age lr,jy, and after experimenting with this
law lor fourteen years Mr. Jefferson
stopped the coinage of sliver dollars, there-
by placing himself on record as opposed to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
So you see from 17S2 to 1834. a period of
forty-two years, we had practically free
and unlimited coinage of both metals, un-
til the act of 1834, supplemented by the act
of 1837, changed the ratio from 15V6 to 1 to
16 to 1, making gold the standard, with an
unlimited coinage, where It stands to-day.
And it was during this epoch. 1792 to 1837,
that our government had Its greatest
troubles financially. This was when Jack-
son. with his grand democratic club of
justice, knocked the brains out of that
state banking wildcat swindling machine
recommended in the Hoggocratio platform
and so enthusiastically indorsed by his fol-
lowers in 1892.
Where on earth did you *et your "free
and unlimited coinage of silver" from? I
fail to find it in any of our national demo-
cratic platforms. Was this demand ever
put In a national platform until the popu-
lists put it in theirs. July 4, 1S92? Pleaso
refar me to the national democratic plat-
form that demands the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
This information will bo gratefully re-
ceived. In fact I fail to find anywhere in
or out of congress you ever, by voice or
vote, favored the free and unlimited coin-
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 until
August 19. 18P2. when I have been credibly
informed that you voted for the Bland-Al-
lison act of February 28, 1878, which au-
thorized not less than two nor more then
four million dollars per month. If you
voted for this act with a maximum and a
minimum limit, what a glorious opportuni-
ty you have lost that you did not place
yourself on record as a 16 to 1 man by
offering an amendment to that effect.
Again, dear Judge, in searching through
the dusty archives of the democracy of
Texas, I find at the democratic convention
in 1X82, held July 27 in Galveston, that An-
derson county is accredited with tho fol-
lowing delegates: W. Q. Reeves, J. Y.Gooch,
T. T. Gammage, It. M. Jackson, B. W.
Howard and \\. H. Tucker. I think you
have told me that you have attended every
democratic convention that has ever been
held in the state, and if my information is
correct you were present at this conven-
tion. And when W. D. Wood of Leon, as
chairman of the committee on platform and
resolutions, brought in the platform Mr.
Foulk of Henderson county offered a sub-
stitute for the platform. The fourth plank
of Foulk's substitute reads as follows;
"That we favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver the same as gold." This
substitute was rejected by the convention
by over a hundred votes against it where
there was one for It.
It does seem very strange to me If the
democracy of Texas has always favored
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
thut all are republicans who oppose it as
you now say. I say it is strange to me that
It would vote down Mr. Foulk's free and
unlimited coinage amendment. And it
seems strange to me if you were a 16 to ler
then you didn't place yourself on record as
such then there by having Anderson county
delegation vote for free and unlimited coin-
age of silver instead of W. p. Wood's gold
s'andard platform. I know you indorsed
the Wood platform of 1SK2 and was elected
to congress on that platform, for I voted
for you and heard you indorse it in your
speeches on the hustings.
Now. dear Judge, how do you, or how can
you, harmonize the democratic platform of
and the action of said convention, when
It voted down a free and unlimited coinage
of silver platform, with your action ana
utterances since August 19. 1892? Were you
right in 1878 when you indorsed a limited
coinage of silver act and was your action
democratic? Were you right In 18*2. when
you Indorsed the action of your stale con-
vention when it sat down hard on a free and
unlimited coinage platform, or are you
right now when you demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, and denounce everyone from Cleve-
land down as republicans who oppose the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1? "O, consistency, thou art
a jewel."
Again, dear Judge, I find that at the last
national democratic convention, held in
Chicago June 81, 1892. when the committee
on platform and resolutions made their re-
port, Mr. Patterson of Colorado offered an
amendment as follows: "Resolved, thijt we
favor the free and unlimited coinage of sil-
ver at the ratio of 16 to 1." We find from
the proceedings of this convention (see pro-
ceedings of June 21. 1892), that the amend-
ment of Mr. Patterson was defeated by an
overweiming vote; in fact, only the vote of
the seven silver producing states was cast
for it. And if you will look over the vote
of our last national election you will find
the vote of these same states was cast for
J. B. Weaver and the popunst ticket gen-
erally. Now, what more evidence does any
one want to prove that this "free and un-
limited coinage of silver" idea is a populist
heresy and not a democratic principle?
And again, dear judge, I find at our last
democratic state convention, held In Dallas
August 15, 1894, there was a very small fac-
tion of 16 to 1-ers who promulgated a plat-
form of what they called principles and
submitted It as a minority report. Now the
vote of this convention demonstrated the
fact that not one in six of the delegates
present were 16 to 1-ers; that the silver
question had not been thoroughly venti-
lated before the people can not be denied,
and as proof of this assertion I copy a let-
ter written by you:
"Dallas. Tex., Aug. 17.—To General W. R.
Haraby. President of the State Democratic
Convention of Texas-Sir: I have made
my canvass, among other things, in favor
of a clear, distinct declaration of the issue
of both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and the coinage of
" —* alscr' • * 4 - i
both metals without discrimination against
either or charge for mintage at the ratio of
16 of silver to 1 of gold. The vote of tills
convention discloses the fact that It does
not approve of any such explicit declara-
tions. and 1 bow to its authority."
Now it does seem to me when you with-
drew from the convention for the office of
governor and bowed to its authority, which
was the will of the democracy of Texas, by
indorsing its platform and 'pledging your
support to its nominee, your action should
have bound your adherence and support to
the platform for at least two years any-
how. If you will examine this platform
you will find that it indorsed our last na-
tional platform and the action of Cleve-
land, gold standard, gold bonds and all
(see sections 1 and 4). after Indorsing this
platform. I do not and can not think you
indorsed the action of the sixteen-to-oners
In their resolutions they have been passing
in which they denounce the administration
of our democratic president and repudiate
the platform, thereby precipitating an un-
called for political wrangle in the demo-
cratic party in Texas that threatens the
destruction of the Party and makes the
pops ashamed when it comes to mud sling-
ing and abuse of the national democracy,
without ever itopplng to consider that the
democratic party is the party that so sa-
credly guarded our rights and liberty from
the very incipiency of this government to
li60. And it was the principles of democ-
racy. us taught by Washington and Jef-
ferson and perpetuated by Jackson. Polk
and Davis, that caused the north to ex-
ghul you acknowledge that free and un-
limited coinage of silver would place us
tend the hand of fellowship from I860 to
1870 to the south. When the south was In
the depth of poverty, without money or
credit, democratic principles bid us wel-
come back into the union, not coming on
bended knees, but upright like men, and
occupy our former places in our national
and state government, to rebuild and erect
one of the most powerful and happy na-
tions that heaven s sun shines on to-day.
Then why, O why. ask us to denounce and
abandon every principle that holds us to-
gether as a nation at home and maintains
our credit abroad, to gratify the greed and
avarice of a few silver bullion baggers.
And if we are to judge by the action of
the sixteen-to-oners of Kentucky, history
is repeating Itself, and It seems free and
unlimited coinage of silver is to be the
serpent of the Nile that is to shoot Its
poison into the heart of our nation, over-
riding every law of the land, trampling
underfoot every principle of justice, all
for this Insane delusion and populist snare,
free and unlimited coinage of silver. I am
tna
I w........JP . . pit
on a silver basis, which would reduce our
circulating medium of money $625,000,000 be-
yond a doubt.
As you refer us to Mexico as a free and
unlimited coinage nation, I am glad you
have done so, for It gives us an opportunity
to make a few comparisons, so we can see
if it would pay us to have free and unlim-
ited coinage of silver In this country. I
have for several years combined cattle rais-
ing with farming, and try to keep posted
on the livestock market. I see from the
Texas Livestock Journal of March 17. 1896,
that yearlings are quoted" at $10 per head
In gold standard Fort Worth, while In
Mexico I see from the National Livestock
Journal, published In St. Louis, of the same
date, yearlings are quoted at $3 in free sil-
ver Mexico.
1 also see that Mexican bonds are quoted
on the London stock exchange. March 19.
at 47 cents, while gold standard United
States bonds are quoted the same day at
$1.10. I am reliably Informed that ranch
hands furnish their own ponies and work
for 40 cents silver per day. while we in gold
standard Leon county pay $1.60 per day for
ranch hands for the same work. Four-
year-old beef steers are worth in free and
unlimited Mexico $12. while in gold stand-
ard England a 4-year-old Texas steer setts
for the average price of $25 In gold. (See
page 12, report of the department of agri-
culture for 1895.)
And now, my highly respected friend, If
you will closely examine the action and
utterances of the democratic party on this
silver question, and consign every one to
the republican camp who opposes thi free
and unlimited coinage of silver, it will em-
brace three-fourth3 of the democrats from
Jackson to Cleveland, including my highly
esteemed friend, John H. Reagan. I hope
you will receive this article In the same
friendly spirit it is written. I do not wish
to wound the feelings of any one. but to do
my duty as a democrat In trying to unite
our sundered parts on democratic princi-
ples. I am no bondholder, but a plow
holder, who earns every dollar he makes
by the sweat of his brow. 1 am, as ever
your friend, S. A. CASTLES. '
