AN UNPRECEDENTED RACE.

Never before in the history of baseball has
there been such race. The winner has been
an unknown quantity from the start. There
was no such prepOnderance of talent at the
start that would be an indication of walk-Over.
and the uncertain nature of the race was in
creased when the newcomers. the Infants,
climbed In meteoric style to second place, knock
ing the veterans out right and LETT.
only to weaken their grasp little later
and sink to their proper level Just now there
is no assurance that Washington will be in the
league in 80. The team has not done well this
year, starting out under the handicap Of poor
management, which crippled the really good
men of which it was composed until the change
tor the better. which came later In the season,
was too late to do any good. The work done
by Mr.. Irwin has been in marked contrast to
that of Mr.. Morrill,. and it is quite certain that
II the former had been put in charge OF the
team at the start the position of tail end would
not now be- filled by the Senatorial aggregation.
There are indications pointing to desire on
the part of President Hewett to withdraw from
base ball; it was a hobby of his father,
and when the latter died his son acquired the
team, with its trials. expense and vexations, by
Inheritance He has kept his expenses down to
a minimum this year. and has been fortunate
enough to make neat sum in the sale Of the
ball grounds and the disposition of ODav and
Myers. OF course he will send in reserve list
Tor 80 with the rest of the league presidents.
but this must not be taken as an evidences that
Washington will have league club next year.
THE BROTHERHOOD SCHEME
forming a co-operative league has about as much
chance OF being carried into operation as WASH
ington has of finishing in seventh place. The
National league will go on as usual and the an
nual bluff of the players will probably result in
some changes in the salary rules that will COM
pensate them to some extent for their alleged
grievances. There are several changes in the
playing rules that should be made without
delay. The pitcher should be moved back lust
a trifie. the foul rip caught within the ten-fOot
line should be called a strike, bases on balls
should be counted as factors in earned runs. the
base bags should be made a little smaller if not
sunk in the ground, and the umpire should be
given larger and more arbitrary powers where
with to prevent captains from delaying games

in thick blanket of fog. Breakfast was hastily
disposed Of the big buses were called UP to
the front door and the crowd started for the
Military academy, where Commandant Wilson
was ready for inspection. The ride about a
mile and half, was in itself a treat, for
although there is a good deal of fresh air in
and around Washington, still don't think any
one will claim that it is Just as bracing as the
atmosphere which made day delicious at West
Point. The gentlemen from South America
were extremely anxious to see their young
fellow-countryman, Cadet Jose Urteche, and
Col. Wilson sent for him and excused him from
his studies until the visitors departed. Mr..
Urteche is Nicaraguan and he chartered away
in Spanish at great rate up to the last
moment. There are two foreign cadets at the
academy now, Mr.. Urteche being one and Cadet
LeComte, o Swiss, the other. II required
and took q special act Of Congress to secure
their admission to the school and their ex-
penses have to be paid by the governments at
whose request they were received.

This, Combined With Heavy Arma-

Terror of the Seas"
ssooiated Press Dispatches to the HEnALr

A ssociated Press Dispatches to the HERALr-
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Unles un'
foreseen obstacles are encountered ,
within few months after the beginning
of the fiscal year, July 1st, contracts will
have been let for the construction ofnew
war vessels which will, in the aggregate,
increase the tonnage of the navy by
nearly Is 900 tons. Although the ma
iority of the new vessels will be small
crafts, compared with the monster IRON
clads of Europe, they will embody in
their construction the latest improved
ideas of high speed and heavy armament,
and will be very formidable ships of
war.
When Secretary Whitney relinquished
his office, he left, as legacy to his sue
cessor, the building of eight new vessels,
authority for the construction OF which
had been given by the Fiftieth Congress.
The list includes three 2,000-ton cruisers
or gunboats, vessels somewhat larger
than the Yorktown, which has just been
finished, and similar to that vessel in
many respects, although embodying
many new features. There will be two
3,000-ton cruisers. These vessels will be
smaller by 1000 tons than the new
cruiser Newark, but, by law, they are re-
quired to attain the extraordinary speed
cf twenty knots an hour. If this
requirement is met and the
heavy ordnance now in contemplation
be supplied, these fleet boats will be the
terror of the seas to foreigners. A great
ironclad OF 1000 tons, protected cruiser
of $500 tons and a small gun boat of 800
tons burden complete the list. Designs
for these vessels have already been pre-
pared by tha Naval Board and await ap-
proval by the Secretary.
In addition to the vessels above de-
scribed, Congress, at last session, pro-
vided for the construction of four more
cruisers, including the Thomas Cruising
Monitor, and in an emergency their con-
struction could be commenced within
the present year.

RAVE THEY GOT THEN?
The Detectives Think They Have
Caught the Train Robbers.

BAKERSFIELD, March 11.-Special Off
Ger W. E. Finnegan, under direction OF
J. B. Hume, arrested four men, the
Smith brothers and Ross brothers on the
street here at eight O'Clock tonight.
They are supposed to be the Pixley
train-robbers. They arrived here to-day
closely followed by Finnegan, and were
preparing to leave for Arizona tonight.
STOCKTON, March 11.-Sheriff Cum
ningham tonight received telegram
from an officer in Kern county that the
supposed train robbers would leave to.
night for Arizona. Cunningham wired
j. B. Hume and the railroad
officers and had special en-
CINE sent from Tulare with officers
aboard to overtake the train before the
mountains were reached. The men
were arrested at Bakersfield and are in
Jail there. Cunningham left here to-
night to catch the southern bound train
at Lathrop at midnight. From the evil
dence in possession of the officers it is
believed that these are the right men.

SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE suit
of M. S. Chapman against the Bank OF
California was argued in the Superior
Court to-day. Chapman indorsed the
note of Isaac Friedlander, who overdrew
his account on the bank to the extent OF
half million dollars, being concerned
in the wheat deal of that year. Chapman
turned over 48 900 acres of Fresno land,
from which it is claimed the bank was
to sell part sufficient to cover Fried
lander's overdrafts. Chapman now asks
for an accounting under the deed OF trust
acknowledged by the bank. A steady
increase in the value of Fresno lands has
made the property in dispute worth
millions,

Instead of having Congressman and pol

claims amount to ten times more than
the entire patronage Of the government,
the President should furnish the Con-
gressional delegation with a list of just
what the State is entitled to. A set
of such lists could be prepared
in very short time by clear-headed

satisfied with smaller proportion of the

Dull Times Did 1t.

SAN Francisco. March 11.-William
J. Heney & Co., furniture dealers on
Ellis street, made an assignment to- day
to II. M. Black, for the benefit OF their
creditors. Heney admits that his liabil-
tiles will not fall far short of $4,000 but
claims that his assets, when realized,
will pay his creditors in full. The dull
ness of the holiday trade is given as the
cause of the failure.
