The fact was kept very quiet, but it leaked
out last night.
"What has happeued?" was the ques-
tion tbose who heard of il were industri-
ously asking about Republican resorts.
No one seemed able to answer it, but that
there had been falling out was the unsni-
mona verdict of those familiar with the
political situation. In fact there was one
story going the rounds that General Har-
risOn refused request of Elkins and that
the latter. after heated argument, left
the Presidential presence in rage, and
took the first train for home.
Mr.. Elkins went TO Washington a week
ago. intending, it was supposed, to remain
there for an indefinite time His family
went TO Baltimore at the same time, and

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The annual
spring meeting of the National League of
Base Ball Clubs convened here to-day.
The principal object of this meeting is TO
adopt schedule for the coming season,
and thus far it has proved most difficult
task. The general tone of the various
managers has been harmonious, but occa-
sionslly there has been manifested consid-
ersble bitterness.
The convention was called to order at 10
o'clock by President Young, and the only
business transacted, until recess was
taken at o'clock, wss the adoption Of
resolution providing for an additional UNI
pire, making the quota five, with a salary
of $500 per month and expenses. At
o'clock the meeting was again called 20
order by President Young, bat as the man
agers, in an informal conference, had failed
10 agree upon dates for the coming season,
another recess was taken.
The only obstacle which prevented the
adoption Of the schedule after the conven.
ton met at 8 o'clock was the dissstisfac-
zion of the Plttsburg delegates, which,
however, after a long wrargle WAS adjust
cd and the schedule, which contains 40
games was adopted. The season opens on

heads. Sightseers streamed through the
corridors aud kept the clerks busy answer
ipg questions.
The day at the White House began about
@ O'Clock. The President and family did
not finish their breakfast and morning du-
ties until that hour. A large crowd was
gathered about the gates, and it was With
difficulty they were restrained from forcing
their way BY the guards. The latter were
instructed to keep the grounds clear till 10
O'Clock. as il Would take until then TO pre-
mare the house for the reception Of the I'M
msnse crowd in waiting.
The President came down about 1918
O'Clock and took his stand in the East
room. Colonel j. NJ. Wilson, u. 5. A,
stood by his side and assisted him when
ever necessary. He announced the names
of the earlier callers, but they came go

CHARLESTON, W. VA, March 5.-Gov,

not yet opened. Many supposed man.
damus would lie in such case, and as Gen.
Goff and Gov. Wilson both seemed anx-
ious 10 end the agony, that Goff would
have filed his petitions for a mandsmus
this afternoon, while the Supreme Court Of

1t is now said that on tomorrow at 10

a writ of quo warrantO will be applied for

the General is seeking more for temporary

the Circuit Court decide in his favor, Gov
Wilson wOuld at once apply to the Su-
preme Court or on Of its Judges for writ
Of error, which would delay the
final decision until the June
term of the Supreme Court.

at once apply to the court of last resort for
the exercise of its original Jurisdiction in

Court for a writ OF quo wsrrantO, this
would determine whether Governor Will

WHAT THE "woRLD" SAYS.
President HarrIson's Southern Policy
E.iyil servlce-Surplus.

President Harrison's Southern Policy
Civil service-Surplus.
New YORK, March 5.-Of the inaugural
address, the World says; President Hsr-
rison, while rejecting altogether the sug-
eestion of a special executive policy for
any section of the country" nevertheless
has a hundred pointed words to say OF the
ALLEGED denial of the right of voting the
negroes in the South to one word of feeble
reference to the corruption OF the suffrage
at the North.
President Harrison's utterances upon
Civil Service reform are little more than an
admonition to the spOils seekers to be pa
tient. There is nothing in the President
words that can be twisted by even the
most sanguine reformer into an indorse-
ment of the fundamental principles oil this
reform Indeed, office seeking is COM
mended, and the intimation is plainly CON
veyed that party services constitute valid
claim to reward.
The Presidents attitude towards the
tariff is, in brief, TO keep up the war rate,
and 70 use its undoubted advantages to Its
rich benefciaries, as q means OF capturing
some of the Southern States.
There is not in the address one earnest
word in favor of stopping the surplus by
reducing taxation. "Wastefulness, prohl-
gapce or favoritism in public expenditure"
Is denounced, but the President plainly
intimates his belief thet there Is nc
ESPECIAL need of cutting down the revenue
Surplus spending is evidently to be the
nolicy of the new administration.

HER FIRST VENTURE.

Maggie Mitchell Secretly Divorced Years
Ago-Marrled In Richmond Back In the
Fifues
CHICAGO March 5.-For the first time
the fact will be published here tomorrow
that Real Estate Dealer Paddock, of New
York, the husband of Actress Maggie
Mitchell, from whom she is now seeking a
divorce for alleged infdelity, ia her second
spouse, and this is her second divorce suit.
The first divorce was in Chicago, and it ia
not believed that Paddock himself knows
of it. Along in the fi.ties Miss Mitchell
was playing star engagement at Rich
mond, Va, chsperOned by her mother,
when she received sudden romantic at
tachment for man.
One Saturday night, she was married, and
returned to her mother the following Mon
day. The mother disapprOved of the
choice, snd mad 50 much influence over
the daughter that the young actress was
persuaded never to live with the chance
husband. Years sfterward Judge Robert
Wilson obtained adivOrce for Miss Mitchell
in Chicago Court, and they managed the
affair with such quietne's that the matter
never appeared in print.
J. H. McVicker and his manager, Louis
II. Sharpe, were familiar with the circum-
stances at the time. They say that the big
ire destroyed the affijavits aud other
rec cords in the case, and for that reason it
is a question whether Maggie Mitchell
ever sincerely regretted Chicago's great
calamity.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Rumor That Convict Patrick Delany VII

Rumor That Convict Patrick Delany VIII
Receive a Pardon for His Testimony.
LONDON, March 5.-The Psrnell Com
mission resumed its sitting this morning.
Attorney General Webster narrated the
facts in relation to Pigott's communics-
tiOn from Madrid to Mr.. Soames, the
Times solicitor. He stated that another
letter from PieOtt had been received to-
day. II had been posted on March 2.
This letter was sent TO Mt. Sosmes' Office,
for "Mr. POnsOnby." II WAS not read in
court.
Presiding Justice Hsnnen decided that
the fact that the Irish World had raised
money for the Irish Cause did not make
the recipient OF the money responsible for
the articles in the paper, but it was an
important link in the evidence referring to
the distribution of newspapers melting to
outrsge. He said that the evidence
proved that during 1880 and 1881, copies
of the Irish, World we're sent either direct
ly or indirectly from the Dublin Leagu
offices, and were found in possession OF
League officials Evidence on this point
wss admissible. The court ssssnted to
Mr.. Dillon going to Australia for his
health.
Attorney General Webster resumed the
reading of articles from the Irish World,
referring TO Mr.. D,yitts action in connec-
tion with the Home Role movement.
He slso read q speech made by Mr.. Dill
lon, urging the destruction of the police
who were engaged in protecting landlords.
Presiding Justice Hsnnen protested
against Attorney. General Webster reading
Hsns1d reports of snti-Psrnell speeches,
made by Messrs. Gladstone and Forster,
and other members Of the House Of Com
mons. He said that while these speeches
were admissible as evidence, they were OF
ms Importance.
A constable testified that in 1882 Walsh
consigned a number of cases of revolvers to
Egan and FlannsgaD.
A rumor is current that the convict,
Patrick J. Delaney, who was implicated in
the Phoenix Park murders, has been
granted free pardon since testifying be-
fore the commission. The government
will be questioned in Parliament regard
ing the report.
