CLEVELAND has signed Pitcher Sprague
jim FELL wants, or says he wants, to fight
Mike Comfy.
PAT KILLEN says that when he is ready to
fight dogs. pigs and niggers," he will meet
Peter Jackson.
THE latest is that Dominick McCaffrey and
Fallen will not be allowed to spar anywhere
publicly in the East.
IT is stated that the police authorities of the
Western cities will not allow either Demsey or
anybody else to spar publicly in their baili-
wicks.
ED. SwARTwooD says that Hamilton has re-
leased all of its players except four, including
himself, This is somewhat tough on genial
Edward.
HARRY SMITH, that mysterious New York
amateur pedestrian, repeats his offer to run
Nikirk or Priddy half mile race, if they will
put up forfeit Nlkirk and Priddy are out of
town.
IF jimmy Carroll whips Blakelock before the
California Athletic Club on January 20, he will
challenge Jem Carney for an international
fight 1t is more than probable that the winner
of the Carroll-Blakelock mill will challenge the
winner of the McAuliffe-Myers fight.
JACK GLAssCoCK is in favor of the Indian
apolis club opening the season at home with
the Clevelands. He says that by winning the
first games the club would start out confident
in its ability to hold its own with the best of
them. But what about it if Cleveland wins?
MANAGER LEADLEY, of the Detroit club,
presents this point anent the new salary limit
IN his League: suppose couple of players
have to lay off on account of injuries as often
happens. Their pay is not stopped and the
club is compelled to get new men to supply
their places. This could not be done without a
violation of the rule"
IT now looks as if the trip of the New York
colts to Havana would go through. Manager
Mutrie has received estimates from the steam
boat and hotel people, and is arranging the
guarantees and other details with the manager
of the Havana club. If the trip is made they
will leave New York about February l6 and
return about March l5. Games will also be ar
ranged with the Key West Club and other
strong teams in that part of the country.
THE extension of time granted to the Hamil-
ton Baseball Club to make their deposit of
s, 200 with the Secretary of the International
Baseball Association expired Tuesday. Hamil.
ton has not deposited the money and President
Miller hjs gone to New York to consult with
Manager Chapman about the admission of
Newark and Jersey City, both of which are
represented to have been playing smart, and
holding out inducements that they might join
almost any of the minor leagues.

SOME CENSUS CHANGES,
Commissioner Wright Reports Against
Enumeration by the Separate Stnres.

Commissioner Wright Reports Against
Enumeration by the Separate States.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspArcH.l
WASHINGTON, January 16.-The Senate
Census Committee resumed this morning
the consideration of the census bill. The
committee has caused to be published the
suggestions made by Carroll D. Wright,
Commissioner of Labor, Major William
Warner, Command der in Chief of the G. A.
r., and Representative Atkinson, of Penn
sylvania. Commissioner Wright, in his
statement to the committee, calls attention
to the fact that the act of 1879 provided for
the taking of census in any State, the
United States to pay for one-half the ex-
penses, provided any State should elect to
do so.
"Several States" said the Commissioner,
undertook to compile this census, but, so
far as accomplishing the object sought by
Congress was concerned, the work was a
failure"
That provision has been stricken out OF
the bill. States, however. should be induced
TO take census. 1t should be done by in
ducing the States to take their own census
and furnish certain class of information to
Congress, for which Congress will remuner-
ate the States In the last census very few
States took interest enough in the matter to
carry out instructions properly"

AN UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.
Unfair Treatment of the Employees of the
Bureau of Engraving.

Unfair Treatment of the Employees of the
Bureau of Engraving.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, January 16. Every
other department of the Government, with
the exception of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, gives Its employees 80 days
leave of absence, with pay, each year. An
attempt is being made to extend this boon
to the bureau mentioned, but 1T bids fair to
fail ON account of the opposition of Chief
Groves and Assistant Chief Sullivan. both
of whom take their 80 days with great
alacrity.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is
the hardest worked bureau in the Govern
ment service, and this seems to be an unjust
discrimination against class of employees
who are entitled to at least asm much consider
alton as the employees of the Government
printing Office, the Treasury Department or
the Pension Office, and would unquestion-
ably receive it if their interests we're pro-
tected by those who should look after their
welfare.
But Graves has been very much incensed
bv the attacks made by the plate printers
on his conduct in Office, particularly in the
introduction of steam presses, for which
high royalty is paid or very poor printing,
and this is one of his methods of getting re-
venge.

LOOKS BLUE FOR HOMEwooD.
An official of the Park Makes an Impcrtauv
Statement.


1t is now fact no longer to be concealed
that the prospects of the Homewood Driving
Park for next season are not of the brightest
An official of that very laudable organization
made very important statement last evening
regarding the matter. He said:
I'm our opinion we are convinced that the
proposed amendment to the pool-selling law of
the State will not benefit Homewood track
very much. Even with the amendment we will
not be able to sell pools in the city, and
that was our great stronghold On
the night before each days racing
the biggest pools of our meetings were sold
We couldn't counterbalance this loss by any
means, because to sell pools on the track either
in the evening or in the morning would be a
failure. We would have scarcely anybody at
tine selling. fear that the circumstance will
interfere almost fatally with the track
The directors of the park were summoned to
meet this evening on important business, but
the meeting has been deferred on account of
the inability of one or two members to attend.

Rowe's Latest Bluff.

Jack Rowe's latest refers to President
Nimick's offer to bet that Rowe will play in
Pittsburg.
He says: Neither White nor myself will
leave Buffalo under any circumstances. 1 see
that President Nimick, of Pittsburg, is re-
ported as saying that he will give odds that
am to play there next season Well he can do
no better than shed his money In Buffalo if
that's what lie is betting. He can find at least
one taker. However, have nothing against
the Pittsburg Club or President Nimlck ex-
cept that not going to play there We signed
Andrus and Rainey to pay in the infield in
case White and myself cannot PLAY, but we
will keep them in any event. They are both
fine PLAYERS. Andrus is one of the quickest
men in the business in getting to first base, and
both men are powerful hitters"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DIsPATcHl
GREENsBURG, PA, January 16.-The
trial of Nicholas Backus for the murder of
James Green at Scott Haven, four months
ago, was begun in the court here this morn
ing. The case is making very little head
way, and will, in all probability, consume
the time of the court until Saturday. There
were four witnesses for the prosecution ex-
amined to-day, the most important being
Terry Donnelly, who testified that he saw
Backus approach Green with butcher
knife drawn, and although he did not see
the stabbing, he saw Green fall, and when he
examined him moment afterward he dis
covered he was dead.
The other witnesses testified that while
they were present at the dance and witnessed
disturbance between the guests, they did not
see the defendant have knife or approach
Green. The counsel for the defendant will
endeavor to prove that the murder was COM
mitted by another member of the party, who
it is alleged was seen to run away from the
vicinity of the row just after Green fell.

On the Saving Plan,

Elmer Smith, the famous Pittsburg pitcher,
now under reserve by the Cincinnati team,
talked about baseball matters yesterday after
noon. He said: Il don't think any of the old
players in our team will sign until the spring.
The object of this is to save advance money.
The directors are becoming economical. and
they will sign us in the latter part of April,
when they may give us about $50 or 500 each to
practice for few weeks"
Elmer is looking as bright as a new dollar
and is full of vigor.

fragrant and long continued.

A NOVEL POLITICIAN.

Massachusetts, has produced fine
specimen of politician. His name
is Henry Cook, and he desires to
represent Leomister in the Legisla-
ture. He does not ask either party
to nominate him, nor does he call
himself an independent, or citi-
zen's candidate. Having decided
that he would like to occupy seat
in the Legislature, he procured a
large number of flaming posters
announcing that on Il certain even
ing he desired the people of the
the town to assemble at public
hall and listen to his reasons for
aspiring to a seat in the legislature,
and promising at the same time to
give them Il brief sketch of all the
good and bad deeds of his life At
the appointed time there was an
overflow ing meeting and Mr.. Cook
a ,pcared. Among other things, he
said that his career had been some
what "chckered," he had been a
hosIlcg, Il peddler, II tramp,a grocer,
a st.,bl, man, chairmakcr, comb
maker, II slableman, "a blacksmith,
u manufacturer, IL gambler, a. thief,
II large rea! estate dealer, lawyer
and detective, and this varied eX-
pericnce he thought, fitted him for
in the legislature. He
that he mentioned having
been d tramp, II ihicf a.ni IL gambler,
so as to head utf his eHenlicS " no
would doubtless make the same
charge against him at some time be-
fore the election. Atthe present time
Mr.. Cook is one of the most promi-
nent and wealthy citizens of Leon
lister, and has for many years been
honored by the community. AZ
the close OF the meeting Il resolution |
WAS passed unanimously pledging
those present to vote for Mr.. Cook
without II ference to politics.

THE exceeding low rates at which
telegraphing can be done when the
system is under governmental con-
trol can be seen by the experience of
Hungary. A revision of the scale
of charges has recently been made,
and the rates will be proportloned
To the distance trayersed. For tele-
grams to Austria the new schedule
charges less than one cent word,
while for local messages the charge
is only half menger, or less than
the twentieth part OF u cent for each
word. Yet the American telegrapic
monopoly insist that bankruptcy
would follow II rates infinitely larger
than those quoted were enforced
here.
