promise satisfactory results. 1t is only
a matter of q short time until the Twin
Cities of Minnesota will, combined, be-
come one of the most desirable centerS
in the country for league OF associa-

ing is figuring for that time If he holds
franchise in Minneapolis he has a
strong claim to urge when the league
question arises. and it is possible that
his first move in that direction is
now being made. Sam Morton
is an enterprlsing, ShreWd and expert
enced base ball man, and, if anybody
can make team 60, he is the man. He
has already taken the first and most
promising step, which was to provide

of the West hotel, between First and
Second avenues and Fifth and Sixth
streets. 1t will make ground 390X370,
or little larger than the st. Paul
park. 1t is in every way desirable
location, and will remove the one OBJ
lection hitherto found-a park ia a
distant part of the city. Of course no
Sunday games will be attempted, and
the games will have no opposition in
church circles. 1t is the intention to
erect handsome grand stand with 1900
opera chairs, and divided into sections
for different classes at different prices.
A joint stock company will be formed,
and arrangements made to use the park
for general athletic purposes.
Manager Morton has already secured
the nucleus of good time. The best
men of the Maroons have been re-
served, including Hanrahan, Turner,
Sprague, Mutton and Keogan, and sew
eral new men have already been signed.
1t is not improbable that one or
two of the Chicago league play
erS will be included. Dalrymple,
of Chicago and Pitsburg. will cover
first base, but Morton is not
yet ready to disclose the names Of other
new men. He says he has crack sec
ond baseman, who, with Dalrymple,
Hanrahan and Turner, will make a
strong infield. Sprague he considers
the best left-handed twirler in the
league, temper and all. The work OF
signing men will proceed rapidly now,
and all of the managerial talent is hard
at work

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
Oyster Pirates Fire on Passen-
GER Steamer.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 9.-The spirit
of meekness manifested by the state
navy has emboldened the oyster pirates
of the Chesapeake to the point of reck-
Iessness and audacitY. They SO far for
got themselves last night as to turn
their guns on a passenger steamer.
About 7:30 p. M, as the steamer Cor
sica, Of the Chester river steamboat
company, was coming out of the Ches-
ter river OH her way to Baltimore, she
passed large fleet of dredgers at an
Choir. When the steamer passed them
the pirates began to yell. One of the
passengers of the steamer answered
with a whoop. Then the dredgerS
opened fire and ridtlled the side of the
Corsica with bullets and buckshot.
There were thirty passengers aboard
the steamer, but they were all in their
cabins except the one who dared to yell
at the pirates.

mated that they will exceed SIS, GOO. He
was in business but short time here.
Recently he started store at Mason
City, To-, and sold it just before his
stock here was attached, for 81 600, which,
he claimed, when up on supplementary
proceedings before the court, that he
lost in st. Paul playing poker. He was
just about to transfer his stock here to
parties who claimed to reside in Mime
apolis, when his creditors attached.
He was arrested On the complaint of
Hough & Ford. of Rochester, N. Y,

lenses, and the examination was con-
tinued until Saturday, j. M. Greenman
becoming bail for his appearance. At
the appointed time the case was called.
but Fisher did not appear and the court
declared the bail forfeited.

BAGAMOYO is WRECKED.
The Germans Kill Over 100 Of the
Rebels.
BUsHIRI IN A PANIC.
Driant Represented Germans Being Boy
c0tted by Frenchmen in Els Ad-
vertisements.

ZANZIBAR, Dec. 9.-The British
steamer which was recently sent to
Bagamoyo returned here to-day with
several Indian traders and their families
on board. They report that the town is
wrecked. There was severe fighting
on Thursday and Friday, and the rebel
loss was heavy. Three Germans and two
native dependents were wounded. Bush
iri subsequentlyretired five miles inland.
1t is reported that he looted an ivory
caravan and brutally maltreated the
Wanyamweze porters, who refused to
join him. Bushiri seized the ivory and
either killed or cut off the hands of the
porters who refused to join him. He
left Bagamoyo in panic, abandoning
his guns, owing to false report that
the German stronghold was sown with
torpedoes. The rebel loss was 100
killed. The insurgents at Lindi have
seized all the gunpowder in the Indians
houses and the sultan'S stores.

John viii Gamble.

HARTFORD, Ct, Dec. 9.-The only
Chinese store in town was raided to-
night. and thirty-one Cinnamon who
were gambling in back room were ar
rested. Considerable money and an ex-
tensive outfit were captured. The Chi
manner claim to have come here from
other cities to gamble, thinking they
would not be molested.
The place where the arrests were
made proves to be a full-fedged opium
joint, and, though only Cinnamon were
present at the time OF the raid, it is
known that white men and women
patronized the place. A Chinaman who
had lost money there Informed the
police, and said that white men were
not admitted On Sundays, but white
women could get in. An officer dressed
as woman applied and was admitted,
and the raid followed.

POWDER OR DYNAMITE.
Was the Test of the Hainesworth
Gun Honest?

PITTsBURG, Nov. 9.-The Times to-
morrow morning will print a special
article under the caption, ''Was the
Powder Honest. OF Was Dynamite Used
to Burst the Big Gun?" The tenor of
the article is that the cartridge that burst
the Hainesworth cast-steel cannon at
Annapolis last week was prepared solely
by men whose whole reputation de-
pended on proving that the Haines-
worth gun was failure; quotes men,
Der of the ordnance board as saying just
before the test either the gun or the
ordnance board had to go to pieces; and
concludes by quoting the Engineering
and Mining Journal to the effect that
the failure OF the gun, while unfortu-
nate, is not at all conclusive against the
use of cast steel for heavy ordnance.

CANS FULL OF KEROSENE.
Bold Work OF Incendiaries at
Troy. n. Y.


Troy. n. T., Dee. 9.-No holder in
cendiary work was ever done in this
country than that discovered in this
city about o'clock this morning. The
flames when first seen were in E. Har-
LEWIS livery stable on Glen avenue, and
soon appeared in the extensive sheds in
the rear of the old Bulls Head hotel
a large three-story structure that
was recently converted into tenements.
Nearly all these were occupied. A
strong odOr OF kerosene was detected,
and as soon as the firemen had eXtin-
guished the flames in one place blaze
would flash out at some other points.
Proof of incendiarism was to be found
on all sides. Police and firemen
Swarmed all over the buildings and
had to do desperate work to
save the inmates. Anna Lightbody.
who lived with her husband, in one of
the third story suites, was found uncon-
Scl0uS. Her hands were terribly cut
where she had broken the windows to
get air. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished the ffremen and police made
an investigation. Twenty-seven differ
emit points were found where the torch
had been applied, and preparations had
been made to touch Off twenty more
piles of shavings, cracker and soap
boxes, in each of which was tomato can
full of kerosene. Combustible matter was
brought to light in every conceivable
place, two piles being in the bedroom
occupied by Ira Smith, the owner of the
building. The police decline to dis
close the evidence found. but they took
Smith and Alvin Vanderpool, an en-
ploye, in custody this morning. Mrs.
Smith was made a prisoner tonight.
They have been placed in different
cells III the jail and will not be allowed
to communicate. Smith is connected
with some of the best families in the
country. His property was heavily
mortgaged and insured for more than
its full value. Some of the tenants had
no insurance, and say that Mrs. Smith
has been very importunate of late in
endeavoring to induce thsm to insure.

ENGLISH IMPRESSIONS
About Wheat Growing and the
Life of the American Farmer.

A writer in one of the English agri-
cultural papers corrects the extraya-
giant statement of another writer, that
the yield of wheat in the United States
was twenty to seventy bushels per
acre. He gives the average yield of
wheat correctly, but says he is satisfied
that fifty bushels per acre have never
been fairly and squarely produced in
America, unless upon an exceptional
acre or so. In this he is mistaken,
if any credence can be given to Of
fetal and we'll authenticated reports.
In 1887, Andrew Smith, of Huron
county, Ohio, raised fifty-four bushels
per acre on an entire field of several
acres, and in the hard-wheat belt of
Dakota and Minnesota there have been
number of instances in which wheat
has touched the neighborhood of fifty
bushels to the acre.
The writer referred to above paints a
gloomy picture of American farm life.
He says:
How the American farmer works |!
BE rises at 4, and does two hours work
before he sits down to breakfast at 6;
he dimes at noon, has supper at p. H.,
and then works until 9, when he goes
to bed, and the amount of work he gets
through would astonish any farmer or
laborer ] have ever seen in England.
and as a result of his incesSant and ex-
hausting toll, he is getting deeper and
deeper into debt. There is hardly a
farm in America that has paid expenses
for dozen years past, but still he goes
Oh sowing wheat. What else can he
do? His farm is there. and if the net
result simply provides his family with
bread and pays interest on his mort
cages, it is better than absolute starva-
ton. Stock-farming is, Of course, a
very different thing. So
That will be rather novel picture to
farm readers generally, and the story
will require good deal of sitting to get
to the facts.

that unless he vacated the building
within twenty-four hours it would be

looms last night to take warning by

MARTIAL LAW PROBABLE.
A Missouri Mining Town in a
Serious State.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. Sit now seems
settled fact that the disturbances at
Bevier, No., where the serious riot &C.
CURED on the night of the 5th, are py
no means settled. It is said that when
any of the strikers at Bevier go else
where to work they are refused work II
it is known that they come from
Bevier and belong to the LABOR
confederation there. AS long as the
strike is continued at Bevier, these
strikers receive support from the state
considerations. 1t is said that it the
state refuses to interfere there Will De
armed men go to Bevier, and the peo-
pie will soon, have more men killed
there than they will be willing to BUY
collins for. The disarming of both
sides at Bevier seems to be hard thing
to do. Gen. Jamison says the only
way it can be done is Tor
the governor to declNre the town
under martial law. 1t has been sug-
gested that the sheriff could keep the
peace by having a posse of ten men con-
stantly on the ground, but he says there
is no use to talk about this, as he cannot
get the men to 60 there to stay, and
that it would amount to nothing ii an
outbreak occurred. There are two
armed bodies of men, many in barrl-
cades, and if any one on either side fires
off his gun accidentally, or not, it
is war signal and the war begins.
Adjt-Gen. Jamison was at Bev-
Ter yesterday in consultation with lead
ing citizens, and the conclusion reached
was that the only effect the sending OF
militia to Beyier would have would be
temporary, and it was finally decided to
ask Gov. Moorehouse to come to
Bevier. The governor wired back that
he would be there to-day. Last night
the store buildings of Loomis & Sniv-
ley, the leading miners of Bevier, were
burned, and it is claimed the fire must
have been incendiary.
Gov. Moorehouse, who is now at Be-
vier, has ordered out the militia and
Col. Moore will leave at 6o'clock in the
morning with two companies OF the
Third regiment for the scene of the
trouble.

OUT OF SUGAR.
Customs Officers Cause a Refinery
to Close.

" StOSCs
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-Andrew
WEIGH, president of the American Re-
filming company, said to-day that, owing
to the action of the customs authorities
in holding the cargo of sugar which ar
rived here from Java on the steamer
West Meath, the refinery would have
to close temporarily Monday, as there
is no sugar to work On. He estimates
that employees will lose $50, 900 in wages.
WelcH says he knows nothing of any
fraudulent attempt to have the sugar
admitted at a low rate of duty. and de :
clares that it was imported in the reg
ular way.
The German bark Hackfeld arrived
to-day from Honolulu Unexpectedly to-
day, bringing $50 tons of sugar, which
will suffice to run the American refinery
for two days. If vessels from Manila
do not arrive before Wednesday the re-
finery will have to shut down, as the
seized cargo can not be freed under a
month.

MORTON FOR MANAGER.
Something of the Minneapolis
Outlook for Next Season.

Minneapolis will make another effort
the coming season to make base ball a
success, and, as usual, the outlook is
promising. The cranks have ceased
predicting anything for Minneapolis,
and will now take matters as they come,
though they draw considerable hope
from the fact that Sam Nor
ton will have charge of the
team, which means that A. e..
Spalding is interested. Morton has
charge of the Spalding establishment
here, and Spalding has therefore bust
ness interest in seeing team flourish
in Minneapolis. But there is stronger
motive than even this. 1t is believed
that Spalding has long had an eye on
the Twin Cities. They are the most
rapidly growing towns in America and
are recognized sporting centers.
