was unjust, aud refused to aecede to it
and Informed the players that they could
go. kilograms were received by various
players to-day asking terms, and some of

THE DIIAsTER RETRIEVED.
DALLAS, July 2.-When the people of
Dallas awoke this morning to learn that
the Dallas B 1se Ball team had been dis
banded for lack of patronage and en-
enlargement, something in the nature of
a sensation was produced. President
Newburg of the Texas league arrived at 8
a. m. and after a consultation with pres
ident Kendig the players were notified not
to leave or negotiate with other teams
until tonight. committee then waited
upon the citizens of Dallas
for the purpose of obtaining funds to
ontinue the league. At o'clock $1,000
was raised, with a promise of more, and
the management then recalled the re-
leases of the players and decided to con-
tinue in the league. The players met at
President Vendig's store tonight and
were informed of the result of the days
work. They were we'll pleased and were
satisfied to still represent Dallas. They
will leave in the morning for Waco and
will play two games on the
Fourth instead of forfeitng the
game scheduled at Waco for
to day. Every thing looks lovely for the
league now. The ways and means COM
mittee will continue their work until they
get all the money necessary to keep up the
Dallas team until the season closes. The
success of to-day is largely due to Presi-
dent Newburg, who induced the Dallas
managers to try again, and he accom-
panied them on their rounds. Like
Richard, Dallas is herself again.

The Washington correspondent OF the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says there are many
indications that Mr.. Blaine will be candi-
didate for the presidency in 1892. The cor
respondent says: Some Of the Secretary's
friends go so far as to express the belief that
the President knows and aequiesces In the
drift of things. These friends lsay
nomination, yet they will both view with
satisfaction the development Of sentiment in
that direction. 1t Is claimed by Mr.. Blaine's
friends that nobody can point TO an act of
the Presidents, since the 4th of March, and
say that behind it is apparent the second
term motive They contend that President
Harrison entered upon his duties with the
single term idea firmly fixed in his mind, and
that being still in such frame of mind. he
is able to look with equanimity on the move
ment of the Blaine people for 1892 In sup
port o this view, attention is invited to the
close relations which MIR. Blaine's most
devoted friends sustain to the President.
Ekins, Kerens and others who are for
Blaine first, last and all the time, as the
saying goes, are on the most friendly foot
rison insists upon is that this shall be Har-
rlsun administration. He will permit no
overtopping by Blaine now. He will not
consent to the use Of any patronage to help
on the Blaine movement. But he win
countenance any legitimate prominence of
Blaine which looks to the close identification
of the Seeretary's name with the issues upon
which the next campaign is to be conducted.
In pursuance Of this policy, Mr.. Blaine will
be as intimately associated as is possible
from this time on with the legislation for
the development Of our South American
trade. That is to be strong card Of the
Republicans in 1892. As the head Of the ln-
national American Congress, the Secretary
will naturally have much to do IN advising
the Republicans in Congress about the

Arguments made on One Phase OF

BOSTON. December l9.-The equity session
of the Snpreme Court was this forenoon
crowded to its utmost capacity with a
company of distinguished theo-
logiaus, lawyers and others, who had gath
cred to listen to the arguments before Spe-
cial Commissioner Ex-Governor Robinson, in
that phase of the AndOver case which re-
lated to the alleged bias of one of the visit

fitness to act ''in judicial capacity" at the
trial of Professor Smytn at the United

that upon the day when the hearing was
taking place, her father had funeral to at
tend, that a carriage was waiting at the
door to take him to the station, and that he
was unavoidably detained, so that he could
not attend the hearing.
Mr.. Wellman was followed by Mr.. Bar
rows in behalf of Prof. Smyth. He con-
fined himself to the charge that DR.. Eustis
had formed, and repeatedly expressed, to
divers persons, the opinion that the profess
sors were guilty of the things charged
against them. DR.. Eustis had discussed the
case with Frederick III. Gillette, Rev. Will
liam Rice, Rev. John G. Brooks. Mr.. De-

LISBON. December 19.-Dr. Barboza. the
Brazilian minister, in a denial of the allega-
tions in the recently published manifesto Of
Viscount d. Ouro Preto, says it is not true,
as alleged by Preto, that platoon of in
fantry was held In readiness to shoot him
while in custody, and it is false that Mara
caju, imperial minister OF war, was in any
way traitor to Dom Pedro. He was dis
missed by the republic because he betrayed
the army and the country. d. Ouro Preto's
manifesto was designed to deceive Europe.
Brazil detests Preto. The restoration Of a
monarchy is impossible. The diplomatists
and politicians around Pedro used him as a
tool in the accomplishment Of projects of
which his unbiased Judgment could never
have approved. The claims that certain
European states may interfere In the con-
Germs of Brazil, are merely ridiculous. The
continental policy of the western hemis-
phere on that subject is seen in the history
of Mexico. In virtue CT that policy Brazil is
in an offensive and defensive alliance with
all America. National prosperity is increas-
ing on grand scale. A commission has
been appointed to draft a constitution and
