Arrival OF the EEaPIesOn Grand
Opera Company.
Over one hundred members of Maplesen's
Italian Opera company arrived yesterday.
Col. Mapleson and the principals, including
Nine. Lillian Nordice. who arrived Satur-
day. and Mile. Alma Fohstrom and others
TO the number of twenty-three. are at the
West. Thirty eight of the stars of lesser
magnitude are dOmiciled at the Clark
house, and the balance. including
the chorus singers, are scattered
about the city, many of them
having in accordance with their well-knOwn
love for economy. which is a national char
acteristic. sought out some Of the cheapest
lodging houses in the city. Coming up from
the depot these latter people carried in their
arms all sorts of curious bundles, and jab-
bered Italian like lot of magpies. Their
sharp, black eyes Immediately sought out
the signs warn rooms" and they would
stop i'm little squads on the sidewalk while
one of their number went up to make talk
with the proprietor. IL his terms suited,
they stayed; if not a grunt from the leader
was a signal to move on.
At the West hotel a number of the high
toned were scattered about the exchange
and seemed to be having decidedly pleas
ant time cOnverSing together. Col. Maple
son, who, according TO Eugene Field, led
the English forces at the battle OF Water
loo. was as backward as usual in declaring
that he had the - 'grandest opera company
the world hever saw, b'gad. SIR c. W.
Shepherd, manager of the hotel, not the
opera company. was found in his private
Office giving orders for the steward to open
up another barrel of maccaT0ni, and TO have
maccaroni stewed, fried and broiled three
times a day.

five riders, who viii change every ten miles,
while he goes the full distance. Saturday,

race with twelve starters.
There is now no doubt that the proposed
Northwestern base ball league Will be- organ
lied. \ meeting will be held in Eau Claire
next Monday for that purpose. The league
will be composed of the following cities 4:
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Duluth,
Eau Claire and Oshkosh. There is some ques-
ton regarding the wisdom OF leaving Our
Saltwater. That city has always manifested
Il lively interest in base ball matters, and

than some of the cities contemplated. Mr.

s. G.. Whitaker OF 81. Louis. the ffty-mile

of the fastest riders in this city. Whitaker
Is not only d fast bicycle rider, but holds all
the American tricycle. records from g TO ~
miles, his time being within % seconds of the
fastest in the world. He will ride a royal
mail racing wheel which weighs 25 pounds.
This wheel is the same make as Mile. Ar

will take place tonight AT the Washington
rink and the distance Will be 20 miles. Five
of the amateurs will be pitted against Whit
taker, who will ride the whole distance while
his competitors will change every four miles.
This will be a hard race for the ST. Louis boy,
but he says he will be equal 10 the occasion.
No doubt the fastest time ever made by an
amateur in the world will be made by the
champion tonight. Il. W. Eek. the manager
of Washington rink, says he is only going TO
give races to the fastest and best amateur
and professional bicycle riders and skaters
in the country, and the public may rest as
sured that every race which takes place in
the rink will be on its merits, and in all races
the riders or skaters must make fast

The Real Estate Situation.

The status of the real estate market is
practically unchanged, only one or two sales
having recently been affected which are re-
garded as important. The general tone of
the market is heal-hful. and the unusual
activity warrants the bright hopes that are
entertained for the coming of a season of
remarkable prosperity.
The East side folks are endeavOring to
awaken the interest that has so long laid
dormant. \ meeting is called for Wednes-
day evening at the First Congregational

OnIhe EnsI Sida.

The audience that gathered at Germania
hall filled the auditorium to overlooking last
night, and the literary and musical feast
offered by the members of the Dillon branch
proved of delectable order. The pro-
gram was opened by piano duet by Misses
Esther Hoy and Mo!lie Mccarthy, and
Rev. Father O'Reilly delivered an excellent
and able address upon the Irish question.
He cOunselled moderate means to seek
proper redress for the wrongs and Outrages
suffered by Ireland. Rev. O'Reilly spoke
at some considerable length and gave per-
tinent advice to the members of the league.
Miss Annie KeOugh reeited FOntenOy; John

Peculiar Course Taken by a Morn
ing PAPER.

The Tribune's connection with the recent
MOth-McLaughlin wrestling contest, is open
to the severeSt censure. That paper has
posed, however ridiculous 1t may appear.
as sans peur ct sans reproche, as IL would
allege, upon sporting events. Yet. how
delusive are superficial indications! Since
Charles Moths advent in Minneapolis, the
Tribune has made a special feature of dis
paraging his prowess as an athlete. his in
tegrity as man and his liberality as
sporting man. The motive which has actu
ated the paper is as transparent as the
limpid waters of Minnetonka, to speak
POLITICALLY. Moth has persiStently refused
to fee the Tribune. But about the Moth
Laughlln wrestling match. The reporter
who has such matters assigned 10 him con-
tided to not few that he was TO receive
$50 for his work in connection Herewith.
How did he propose to bring this end about?
Perhaps it was not by a Matchmaking
scheme. but it was by something that
savored of it. Col. Mclaughlin was called
East. The reporter asked him if he could
be permitted to act as a sort of an agent.
That boon was accorded him. The match
with Moth was made. Col. Mclaughlin
foolishly posted in the reporters hands
500 as forfeiture to insure good faith.
Charles Moth posted like amount. and
upon the recommendation of friend who
saw throug the fiimsy sham drew out MS
money, making the check worthless. But

came Of, the reporter claimed $50 for his
services and the proprietor OF the paper
sent a bill to the box Office for $50 for
write ups" with a discount of $50 owing
to the news feature Of the same. Ii is
needless 10 say that neither Moth nor Nc
Laughlin were yerdant enough TO paw the
bill, inasmuch as not a line had been
authorized. But what about McLaughlin's
500? That is still held. The reporter. in
whose hands the sum was placed, resorts to
the subterfuge that he transferred il 10 one
of the proprietOrs for safe keeping. and
that he cannot get it. Furthermore he
claims that it is due the Office for adj
vertising the contest and for his personal
efforts in bringing about the match. The
TTibune's accounts Of the match weIs
highly coiOred in favor OF the DetrOiter
with the view Of inducing him to relinqulsh
all claims 10 the money. Col. Mclaughlin
has made formal demand for the 500 in
vain, and the reporter has circulated the
story that $50 of it vent 10 him. AID. Sly,
who has acted as Col. McLaughln's hacker
throughout the campaign. has stated that
the reporter got the money. and the affair
seems Dewilderingly complicated. On the
other hand Col. Mclaughlin stOutly refuses
the demands of the Tribune and de-
nounces il as an outrageous scheme
10 appropriate his money WITHOUT
even the most fimsy excuse. and If it is not
forthcoming by 10 o'clock this morning
legal process viii be resorted To. To this end
one OF the leading attorneys Of Minneapolis
has been consulted. This 500 explains one
important incOmpatibility in the reporter
referred to. At the wrestling match. just
as the referee made his decision creating
the formidable kick. the reporter said
Moth was not thrown. He made a bridge. s"
etc. The report which appeared III his
paper said that Moth was thrown upon
three points," that he came down with
dull and heavy thud," etc. Ut should
have been dull and sickening thud, 10

After giving Moth the worst of the deal. s"
or a roast" this irrepressible reporter
with a prodigious gall waited waited
upon Moth and asked for more money.
The $50 from Mclaughlin only sharpened
his appetite, and his greed for gain i'm

But now the question arises in many
