CHICAGO, Sept. 25.--[Spocial Telegram to
THE BEE --Ex-President William 3.
Strong, of the Atchison, has been offered
and accepted the presidency OF the Missouri
Pacific He will assume the duties of his
new position October l.
The above is the substance of a telegram
received this evening by the Railway Press
Bureau from a New York railroad man who
one could be found In Chicago who knew
anything of the matter though IL re-
ceived the approval of everyon
who saw the telegram. Said the president
of one OF the western roads; 1.-The news
can haid dly be called a surprise as there was
no question that Mr.. Strong could have any
railroad position within the gift of MIR.
Gould. Mr.. Gould himself has peen acting
as president of the Missouri Pacific, but |
have long known that he was casting about
for successor in whom he could have per-
feet confidence More than that. | have
every reason to believe Mr.. Strong has prac-
tcally accepted tho position of president of
the Missouri Pacific before he insisted
the last time on his resignation from the
Atchson. In any event know Mr.. Strong
just after resignation firmly refused posi-
ton as profitable rs the presidency of the
Santa Fe, and far more congenial. Mr.,
Strong is one of the best practical railroad
men in the country, and tn ere is no question
that he will make first-class head for the
Missouri Pacific 1t will be body blow for
the Atchison though, for Mr.. Strong has u
vast circle of friends which will make its
influence felt if the Missouri Pacific and
Atchison come into competition
Mr.. Strong is either in Boston or New
York, and as no one i'll Chicago knows more
than the above facts, it is impossible to learn
anything new on the subject.

Afraid of Each Other.

SAN Francisco, Sept 25.-After the
thirtieth round of the Warren-Mur-
ply fight things were very dull and
uninteresting From the fifty eighth
to the sixty-eghth round not blow was
struck. The men were in good con-
dtion and the referee left the stage, de.
claring the club washed its hands of the
whole affair. President F'ulda ordered the
stage cleared, as the referee had declared the
match unsatisfactory, the men having failed
to comply with their articles of agreement.
The club directors will probably refuse to
award the men any part of the purse.
AT the meeting of the directors of the Cah
fornia Athletic club tonight resolution
was adopted that the club do not donate to
Murphy or Warren one dollar and that they
be prohibited from ever entering the rooms
of the club from this time forth.

ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
Its Twenty-SecOnd Annual Reunion
Opens at Cincinnati.

Opens at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-The twenty-second
annual reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Tennessee began its meeting here this
morning. General Sherman, on taking the
chair, made no formal speech, but proceeded
at once to business. Chicago was
unanimously selected as the place for the
next reunion, the time to be announced by
the president of the society. 1t was agreed
the meeting should be co-incldental with the
unvelling of the Grant monument in that city,
the services of which are to be under the
auspicies of the society. 1t was voted to re-
tain the permanent headquarters of the
society at Cincinnati, but the annual reunions
may be held in various places.
NThe society marched to the chamber of
commerce, when Generals Sherman, How
ard, Fisk, Alger and Poe made speeches.
The great event was the meeting at Music
hall this evening. The society paraded to
the hall escorted ty the local military
organizations and the Grand Army sveterans.
The streets We're crowded. and illuminated
by colored lights. The hall was beautifully
decorated, and the crowd was enormous.
The welcoming addresses were made by
Mayor Mosby and Governor Foraker. When
General Sherman rose to reply, everyone in
the house cheered, shouted and waved
handkerchiefs until he was compelled to sig
nal for order. In the course of his speech,
General Sherman said: 1--WE fought the
holest war ever fought on Gods earth. A
lished from that war than from any
CGsarian or Napoleonic war. We made
peace on II continent. We raised the stan
dard of our nationality thousand fold We
lost nothing but slavery. The people in the
south bet on the wrong card and lost.
Cheers. Now they are beteing on another
card. They consented TO the amendments to
the constitution as concession for not
being otherwise punished, and they came
back into the union with five
tifths vote for their representation in con-
gress instead of tnree-ffths. 1t isn't right.
1t isn't honest. 1t isn't honorable (cheers.)
1t isn't such as soldier knight will 40.
Therefore those negroes must have the rights
the constitution gives them or the states
must be deprived of that proportion
of their representation in congress.
Uproarious applauseI That's the legitimate
result of the war and the war won't be over
until that is done. [Cheers. Don't un-
buckle your waist-belts too much. We won't
have any fighting, though Reason will
surely settle that problem. 1t isn't so bad as
it all seems. 1t IS time that the wisdom of our
rulers should handle that proposition. 1
merely state it and let it take its course"
After General Sherman, Colonel j. +.
Howe, OF St. Louis, delivered an oration and
several other short speeches were made.

Cheokmat.ng the brotherhood.

ST. PAUL, Sept. GA local paper says
that Conant, the senior member of the Bos-
ton ball club management, is expected in ST.
Paul tomorrow. Conant's advent in the
northwest is Indicative of the policy the Ma
tional league management will pursue with
reference to the brotherhood scheme. The
object of the visit of the base ball manager
is nothing more or less than the bodily trans
fer of every team in the Western association
to the National league for next season. If
the deal goes through the teams of the Wes-
tern association will go to the league team
which has the relative position In the league
corresponding to the final positions in the
Western league, excepting the Omaha team,
which has already been transferred to
Boston
The terms offered by the league are liberal,
and although the individual players will re-
ceive no monetary advancement the local
managers in each of the western cities will
be literally recompensed.
