vorably recommended by the Committee on

President Cleveland.
The property is at the corner of Penn avenue
and Garrison alley. 1t has frontage of 100
feet on Penn and runs through to Duquesne
way. The northern half is rented for scrap
yard. The old brick building on the southeast
corner is occupied by the Custom House,
while the United States recruiting office is in
tn e building on the southwest corner The
property is so valuable that the Federal
authorities think it would be better to sell it
and to rent quarters for short time for the
officials now using the buildings. The prop
erty will bring large price at public sale.

fEFECIAL TELEGRAM TO Dl6IATCHl
INDIANAPOLIS, February 19.-John B.
Day, of the New York Club, arrived last
midnight accompanied by Director Gordon,
of the same club. Rumors were rite to-day
that the indianapolis Club was sold out.
President Day this morning said:
81 am here after the Indianapolis Club IL
it is possible to get it We want the whole
outfit. President Brush has got together a
good, strong club and we want it. 1t is well
recognized that an eight League club circuit
would enable the League to make a more sue
cessfuI and determined fight against the
Brotherhood OF course, if indianapolis goes
out it would force out one of the other clubs.
But the reduction would more evenly balance
the teams and all would be good. Boston has as
good club as the Brotherhood, Brooklyn has
better one, Philadelphia is as strong and Gin
cinnati has no opposition and is enthusiastic
over the prospects. We would have eight
strong cities"
PLANNING OUT A DEAL.
Presidents Brush and Day and Mr. Gordon
we're in conference at the formers rooms from
II o'clock until 1S0 relative to the baseball deal.
The latter two took the 23O train for New
York. President Day added: 81 made no offer
for the Indianapolis club at all. 1 simply pre-
sented the advisIbility Of an eiSht-club circuit
as it looks to me. The matter was only dis
cusse6 in general way, and probably will be
brought up at the League meeting at CleVe-
land, March 4"
President Brush made substantially the same
statement. 1t is well understood here, how
ever, that some kline of an understanding has
been come to between the above parties. The
opinion is that since Mr.. Day thinks it improb-
able that he will get the majority of his good
players back he is strongly opposing the ten
club plan. believing that If it is discarded he
Will get the pick of the Indianapolis players
ANOTHER QUIET RUMoR.
1t was also quietly stated here to-day that If
terms can be come to with President Brush
President Hewitt, OF Washington, will be will
ing to dispose of his club to the National
League. A gentleman in a position TO know
stated this evening that the above opinion is
quite correct
Heretofore President Brush has emphati-
cally stated that his club was in to stay He
did not say this to-day. II President Day can
get first-class team together without Indian
apolls help it is likely that the ten-club scheme
will be tried. If he does not, however, Boston
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and one or two West
ern clubs will oppose the ten-club scheme.
President Day Is willing to pay good price for
all the best players, as he firmly believes that
with them he can defeat the Brotherhood in
New York.

such incongruous rig, but hoped We would
pardon him under the circumstances. No
one hated plug hat more than he did,
he had frequently walked up in the night
for that especial purpose; but the demands
OF society are memorable, and he trusted,
in spite of appearances, they would con-
cede his intentions were honorable.
"Say, boys, lend me some tackle and one
of these boats, will you"
The request staggered the community
speechless for moment, then one who re-
gained composure soonest exclaimed:
'sWhat fish in those robes?"
Certainly; good enough, amt they ?
There's some aristocratic and lordly fishes
out there, Judging by these strings of

"Mingle is good" said voice in re-
joinder, "and they are all there, even Ma
jor Eel and Sergeant Dogfsh."
The request was readily granted, and
Leather Breaches, our boy of all work,
said he would take the gentleman out.
We sat down to our frugal dinner OF
baked mallard, boiled pickerel, fried bass,
broiled prairie chicken, with mushroom
sauce, claret de Maxinkuckee, and yellow
jacket pudding, most Of which was form
ulated by railroad man among us, and
served in a way that would have made
John Chamberlain sigh with envy.
While we were attending to these artl-
Giles the patter of rain was heard on the
ROOF, and, with thoughts of our swallow
tail friend, the door looking out on the
lake was opened. And there was an exhi-
bition. Leather Breaches was holding the
silk umbrella over him, and the gentleman
hauling in bass, taking the umbrella when
a fish was brought to the boat, while the
boy unfastened and rebaited the hook.
1t didn't rain much, and in the course Of
an hour our old friend came in with five
bass, two croppies and pickerel that
weighed seven pounds.

Then, thrilling Leather Brooches with
