IMPORTANT BASE BALL NEWS.
Et. Louis and Cincinnati Unions To Take the
Place of Cleveland and Detroit League.

Mr.. Henry V. Lucas, president of the Union
Base Ball Association, was in the city yester-
day, for a few hours. He eyaded the reporters,
but to a gentleman who is much interested in
base ball matters, he gave some rather i'm
portant information. He said that he had just
concluded negotiations for the purchase of the
Cleveland club, which, with the Detroits, would
Tetirefrom the League, and their places would
be taken by the st. Louis and Cincinnati Union
clubs. One of the conditions of this transac-
ton is that the ex-League players Dunlap,
were expelled for joining uuion clubs, should
be reinstated. Mr.. Lucas was very anxious that
no publicity should be given to the matter for
some time. If his statements are true, the
Union Association cannot hold together. and the
Indianapolis club will be once more left out in
she cold. Mr.. Lucas said that he had been wait
ing for several weeks for the Indianapolis di-
rectors to do something towards going into the
Union, and, as they did not do so, he had become
tired of waiting, and had decided to do some
thing for his own protection, as he had $40, 900
invested in the St Louis club, and did not want
TO lose it. Further, he said that if his club did
90 into the League, he did not expectsto win the
pennant the first year, but would be satisfied
with fifth or sixth place.
President Schwabacher said last night that he
had received no information of the changes in
dicated above; that he had not seen Lucas, and
did not even know that he was in the city. He
said that he was not prepared to state what dis
position would be made of the home club.

MEMBERS AND CANDIDATES.
The Former Being Beset by the Latter-The
Probable Winners.

The Legislature is arriving. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty senators and representatives and as many
candidates are in the city, and things will prob
ably begin to hum with the noise of statesman
ship about the hotels tonight.
Among the senators who have arrived there are
none who attracts more attention than Morgan
"a. Weir, of La Porte, who will, it is thought, be
prominent as a leader of the Democrats in the
Senate.
Governor-elect Gray arrived in the city yes
terday. and is stopping at the Bates House.
A. j. Kelley, of Terre Haute, who was the
secretary Of the Senate in 1883, is a candidate
for reelection to the position, and is here work
ing up a boom" However, it seems to be gen
orally conceded that Joe W.. Riley, the secretary
of the Democratic State central commute, will
be the caucus nominee, as the opinion prevails
among the politicians that he is entitled to the
position on account of services to the party dur
Ing the last campaign.
ID. Darnall, of Greencastle, and Mex Dem
Dutsky, OF Elkhart county, are here working for
the clerkshlp OF the House. Joe Armstrong, of
Rockport, who will be strongly supported from
the southern pdft of the State, passed through
the city yesterday, going east on the Panhandle,
out will return to indianapolis to-day. Darnell,
IL ~ DelleV00 mas the advantage at the
present time. Dembufsky claims, how
ever, that he believes he will be the
choice of the caucus on the first ballot. Eek
elusive Of Marion county, Dembufsky says,
there is a majority of one in the northern half
OF the State among the Democratic representa-
tiyes. AS it is pretty certain that the Speaker
will come from the southern half of the State.
there is reason to believe that the chances are
favorable to a candidate for clerk from the
northern part of the State"
1t is generally believed that Joe Tanning will
be elected assistant clerk of the House. 1t is the
only position that will be given to Marion coun-
'ty, and it is understood that whoever the Indi-
annapolis representatives name as their choice
will be elected.

After Postmaster Concer,s scalp.

CHARGES IN REGARD TO THE WILLARD HALL
CONVENTION SAID TO HAVE BEEN MADE
The removal of Mr.. Palmer, the postmaster at
Chicago, on the charge OF having been an ofien-
sive partisan, has been regarded as an indica-
tfon that the same action would be taken in
other cases of postmasters whose terms have
not expired. In this class is Mr. Conger the
postmaster of this city, and i'm this connection
ii is said that u statement has been sent TO the
President giving Mr.. Congers connection with
the Willard hall convention which selected
delegates to the republican national convention
III Chicago. 1t is claimed in some quarters that
the President has sufficient cause in those
charges to remove Mr. Conger. and il is stated
that he viii do SO before the term expires,
which will not be for two years yet.
Dir. Conger says that he has no knowledge of
the intentions of the President in regard TO his
Office, but he is prepared to acquiesce il the
President wants his place. The only thing that
he Will resist Is his removal on charges reflect
ing upon his character or official conduct of the
office. In such event he should request a
full investigation. He has, however no appre-
hension that such charges will be preferred
against him, and the Willard Hall matter is so
fresh in the public mind that the facts can be
easily known and ascertaned.
1t having been stated in this connection that
Senator Conger, the father of Postmaster Con-
ger, as chairman of the Senate post office COM
mittee, would resist the removal of his son,
Postmaster Conger stated to-day TO a STAR
reporter that he had never been accustomed to
cling to the skirts of his fathers coat, and did
not intend to do SO now. His father did not
know of his appointment to his present position
until he saw ii in the newspapers.

THE WALES COCRT.MARTrAE
COUNSEL SANDS REMARKS REFIECrING UPoN
EX-SECRETARY CHANDLER STRICKEN OUT

EX-SECRETARY CHANDLER STRICKEN OUT
When the Wales court-martial convened this
morning Lieut.. Lemly, the judge advocate.
called attention TO n statement made by Mr..
Sands yesterday in his argument TO the plea OF
non-j jurisdiction, in which Mr. Sands. after
stating that he had been unable to find in the
charges and specifications any ofiense known
to the naval law, attributed the charges to Sec
retary Chambers personal desire to injure Dr.
Wales, and expressed the hope that the officers
composing the court would have the integrity,
the firmness and independence OF character TO
strongly condemn such action on the part of the
Secretary. The judge advocate called attention
to the rule prevailing in courts-martial TO pro-
tect from invidious remarks persons not parties
to the trial, Land especially forbidding remarks
hecting upon the convening authority. He
thought the remarks made by Mr.. Sands
constituted an abuse of the privilege granted
TO counsel of ad dressing the court orally in
stead of in writing. This was not. he said, n
personal alteration between the Secretary of
the Navy and DIR. Wales, but an official prosecu-
tion by the government.
Mr.. Sands, in explanation of bis remarks be-
gan again TO recite his efforts TO discover some
prescribed offense alleged, saying he could not
the statements of the Secretary.
The Judge advocate objected to this.
Mr. Sands then consented to have the words
rejecting upon the Secretary stricken out.
Mr.. Blair, the judge advocates associate
then concluded his argument in answer to the
plea to the jurisdiction OF the court and was
followed by Mr. Wilson for the defense.

On Friday next, between the hours of 8 and

Police officer John II. Fowler will be executed

execution was postponed from May 1st, Lang
ster has been examined by experts as to his
sanity, and it is understood that they have
reported that Langster is sane enough to know
the difference between right and wrong and
therefore there should be no Ieniency shown
him on such account. The Jail officials have no

the execution. The rope used January 10Th,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, MAY 9.-The Illinois de-
partment of agriculture's latest returns from
its 600 correspondents show that for wheat in
the northern division of the state the prospects
are encouraging for about three-fourths of an
average yield per acre. This division of the
state, however, contains but 51.oSS acres OF
in the central division of the state exceeded
one million acres. Nearly three-fourths of the
wheat Is reported winter killed, and the aver
age condition of the growing crop gives encour-
agement for only about half am average yield
per acre. The late seeding of winter wheat in
the southern counties of the state amounted
to 1,2O3,o51 acres. Nearly two-thirds of the
area of wheat in this division is reported winter
