KANSAS CITY, October 25-Chris Won
der Abe, of St. LOUIS, arrived in this city
to-day from Chicago. He was seen and
questioned concerning the statement tele-
graphed from st. Louis that the League
and American Association were to combine
for the purpose of fighting the Brotherhood
He said:
The statement is authentic and I believe
the scheme will be accomplished. So far as
agreed upon now, the details of
the plan are as follows: Indianapolis
Washington and Louisville will not
be taken into the new organization and
the Philadelphia League club will buy out
the Athletics. The players then would
be distributed upon some equalization
plan yet to be determined upon.
The gate receipts at all games
will be divided on basis of 40 per cent to
the visiting and go per cent to the home
club. A joint meeting OF the directors of
the different clubs will be held soon and the
scheme will be formally presented to them

Boston, October 25.-There was meet
ing in Boston to-day of the gentlemen fnan-
cially interested in the proposed Brother
hood scheme. General Dixwell, George
Wright and John Morrill, were
among those present. The confer
ence was supposed to be secret but it is
known that the men began to weaken lit
tie in regard to the expense of put
ting the scheme on practical foot
ing. The expense was found to be
greater than was at first supposed, but it was
decided to go ahead and trust to luck to OBJ
tain the necessary funds
The uncertainty as to what the League
players wouid do led to postponement of
further action until after the annual meet
ing of the League next month.

WASHINGTON, October 25.-Some ugly
charges were made against the past record
OF Thomas J. Morgan, Of Rhode
Island, President Harrison's Commls-
sioner of Indian Affairs, after he was
appointed, and they were not answered to
the entire satisfaction of all the members OF
the administration. They will undoubtedly
be investigated by the Senate, when the
nomination of the commissioner comes up
for action.
One of the very first appointments to which
General Morgan signed his name was that
of his daughter to be clerk in his ottlce'
Then one Of his subordinates, DIR. Dor
chester, Superintendent of Indian Schools,
is allowed to appoint his wife to an Indian
agency, so that they might travel about the
country together. Now Commissioner
Morgan has committed breach which,
to say the least, is q violent
straining of the law. He has mailed to
various persons, in the official envelopes OF
the Department of the Interior, copy OF
an address which he delivered at
the recent Malone conference, whatever
that may be. The subject of the ADDRESS
was, 1.-THE Education Of the American In
dian," and, according to the title page, it
was delivered by General Thomas J. Nor
gan, Commissioner of Indian Affairs"
The pamphlet is in no sense publication
of the Government, and does not purport to
be. 1t was not printed at the Government
printing Office, and is altogether private
literary effort of the author. The
envelopes in which the address was mailed
bear in the upper right hand corner the
following notice:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, 7
OFFICIAL BUSINESS.
Any person using this envelope to avoid the
payment of postage on private matter OF any
kind will be subject to fine of $780,
A few years ago clerk In the Interior
Department was arrested by a Government
agent for doing just what General Morgan
has done, and escaped the penalty of the law
only by proving that he misunderstood
the true character Of the article that he
mailed. Perhaps Commissioner Morgan
can excuse himself on the same grounds.
1t is we'll known that fight will be made
in the Senate against the confirmation
of his appointment because of the old
charges against him, and it is quite likely
that he will be required to make answer,
also, to the charge of having violated the
law governing the use OF official envelopes.

PHILADELPHIA, October 25.--A man il
locked up in this city tonight, who, if he.
be not William B. Tascott, the notorious
murderer Of Millionaire Smell, of Chicago,
answers most msryelously the description
furnished of that person. - 7z@e
For two weeks past the detective authori-
tier have been annoyed by man who has
been passing or attempting to pass forged
checks purporting to be signed by j. r.
Wood, general passenger agent of the Penn
sylvania road. 1t became known that the
man had left the city, and Chief of Detec-
tives Wood detailed Detectives Bond and
Murray to hunt for and if possible to secure
the culprlt.
After visiting two or three towns, the de-
tectives reached Reading at noon to-day.
An examination of the register at the
American House, in that city, revealed the
name of "Charles Harris, Philadelphia" I"
Upon questioning the proprietor, the de-
tectives learned that Harris answered the
description of the forger. He was in his
room. and they went there at once, and
found their man in bed, asleep. They
awakened him and told him to get up, as
he was wanted. ft- ssss
SIGNIFICANT SCARS. n
When the man got out of bed he wore only
short shirt, and Detective Bonds atten-
tion was attracted by prominent sears on his
right leg, and also gunshot wound in the
right hip. 1t occurred to Bond that these
marks were conspicuously mentioned in the
description of Taseott. A casual glance
also revealed q scar on the right knee, and
scars on both elbows, all Of which were
borne by Tascott, according to the descrip-
ton. Bond quietly communicated his sus-
picions to his partner, and they both agreed
that it was important to get their charge
under lock and key as quickly as possible.
Upon being charged with the forgeries the
prisoner acknowledged his guilt. and read
lily signifed his willingness to accompany
the officers to Philadelphia. Accordingly,
they proceeded to the depot and boarded
train for Philadelphia, reaching here at
o'clock. They took their prisoner to the
Central station and placed him in cell.
HOW TAscoTr LOOKS.
Tascott is described as having bad teeth,
the upper front ones filed with gold, blue ,
eyes, rosy cheeks, rather good looking, about
% years old, inclined to slouch, and has a
habit of carrying his hands in his pantaloon
pockets. The scars, as mentioned above,
ton of the alleged murderer says
he is an expert guitar and mandolin
player. All these points are observable to
a marked degree in the man arrested to-day.
His teeth are bad. one upper front tooth
having been filed, and he says the gold fell
out not long ago. From each side Of this
tooth, one has been extracted. Among his
effects is q guitar, and small satchel he
carried contained guitar and zither strings,
and keys for tuning the latter instrument.
Chief Wood telegraphed the Chicago
authorities tonight, and is awaiting reply
from them. In the course Of an interview
he stated that the man under arrest answers
in most remarkable manner the descrip-
ton of the murderer.

wards.
At the last meeting of the commits
sioners the subject of an armory for the
DeLand Rifles vas again discussed.
The board decided that as the company
was not mustered into the State militia
under the act of 1887, the board had no
authority to do more than provide safe
place for keeping the arms, and had no
authority to provide a drill room, and
could not pay $500 per annum for such.
A committee was appointed to notify
the owner of the present armory that
the county would no longer pay the
rent required, and to procure room
elsewhe large enough to store the arms
and hold business meetings.
Jacob Hammond, by his attorneys
Hamlin & Steward, has posted the oil
lowing notice: ''Notice is hereby given
that on the 26th day of August, 1889, 1
will make application to the Governor
of the State of Florida and his colleagues
in Office constituting the Board of Par
dons of said State, for Communication of
the sentence passed upon me at the
spring term of circuit court, upon con.
viction at the said term of court upon
the charge of murder in the first degree"
A great deal of interest is being mani
tested in this case at Daytona, the place
where the murder was committed. A
large number of affidavits have been
sent up to the pardoning board, which
will have bad effect upon Hammond's
chances. From present indications it
appears that Hammond will join Gaskins
three weeks from tomorrow.
