MORE CONFLICTING DATES.

Altoona Driving Association md Blair
County Agriculfurisfs Mt War.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH..
ALTOONA, August l6.-The conflicting dates
of the Altoona Driving Park and Exhibit Asso-
citation and the Blair County Agricultural
Society, is causing considerable discussion
The selection of September 10, 13, inclusive
was not chosen, as alleged, by the Agricultural
Society, to interfere with them, but the dates
were claimed because it was after the Du Bois
meeting and just before the grand trotting
circuit races at Philadelphia. 1t was this that
purses-amounting to S3S50-to the owners of
noted flyers on their way to Philadelphia, that
they might be induced to stop off. Surely the
agricultural society cannot take this
to mean that the driving park is opposed
to them. Neither do the people of
Altoona agree with one of the society men,
bers that it will be the 'last of the driving
park" The Blair county society got Altoona
into bad repute among many of the horsemen
OF the country. but this will be the towns gain
this year. Why should not the fair be held in
this city? 1t is easy of access, with good ac-
commodatlon for the large crowds that gather
at such meetings. On the other hand, it is the
center Of trade for Blair county, and the
farmer mechanic the laborer and manufact-
urer all come here.
Nearly all of the buildings in the park will be
completed in time for the fall meeting. The
track, when finished. will be one of the best
half mile tracks in the State. Altoona is proud
Of the enterprise, and the management receive
encouragement from the farmers of the county
and also from its own citizens.

THE LATEST COMBINE
Alleged That Pitlsburg is TO Quit
the Players League.
BIG CHANGES TO BE MADE In 1891.
The Association and Brotherhood Teams to
Consolidate.
SUPPOSED PLANS FOR THE MOVE

rsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, August 16.-The Sporting
Times publishes the following: "We have
reasons for making the assertion that there
is treachery contemplated at this time in
the camp of the American Association.
Whether it will be consummated remains
to be seen later on. At the bottom Of 1t is
the Brotherhood, of course. 1t is the last
card they have to play, and it is proposed to
play it at the sacrifice of all their Brotherhood
principles laid down last winter as well as
at the sacrifice of many brotherhood players.
"The overtures for a compromise with the
League, which were so emphatically refused
some weeks ago, left the wreckers with but one
hope of salvation for another season. There is
no doubt that the plan now being worked is to
absorb the Athletic, St. Louis, and Louisville
clubs of the American Association and drop
the Pittsburg and Buffalo clubs from the
Brotherhood The plan looks to the consolida-
ticn of the Athletic and Philadelphia Brother
hood Clubs, and the substitution of Louisville
and st. Louis IN the circuit instead of Pitts
burg and Buffalo. Wards Brooklyn cl ub will
be most probably moved to Baltimore or Wash
ington. The other five Association clubs and
cities are to be thrown overheard.
Neither Louisville nor St. Louis can sup
port a club at so cents admission or without
Sunday games and beer selling in the stands.
The Brotherhood must grant the clubs Sunday
ball and beer to let them live. To effect the
new move Brotherhood players must be sacri-
feed. The recent Pittsburg fiare-up is the first
sly move to get rid of some of them. A few of
the Philadelphia brothers will be sent adrift,
and Buffalo will be almost wholly cast out.
We caution all players of the three clubs to
consult their own interests, and not between
this and October 10 bind themselves with per-
sonal agreements or contracts for next season.
In any outcome of the Brotherhood plans, that
body is as surely doomed as locust in Au-
gust"

HONDURAS SPEAKS OUT.
REASONS WHY SHE INSISTS ON uELPJsG
DOWN SALVADOR.


The Little State Accused of all Sorts of In
terunriounl Crimes-General Ezeta Is
Ready to Open Slaughter any Time
Minister Mizner's Work.
TECUIJALPA, HONDURAS, August I6.-
In answer to General Ezeta's request that
Honduras explain her attitude in the pres
ent difficulty, Senior Zslaya, the Honduras
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, has answered
as follows:
1t is true that Honduras has placed and is
still placing troops on the Honduras-Salvador
frontier This has been done for four reasons:
First you called to arms and armed Hon.
duras refugees melting them to invade Hon
duras because Honduras refused to recognize
the state of affairs broughtion by General Ezeta
in Salvador on the night of June q
Second-The unjustited, illegal treatment
accorded Honduras by your Government, even
to the shooting, by order of Bramek. of Calixo
Acosto, peaceful Honduran, at San Antonio
morte. which was fragrant violation of all in
ternational right and law,
Tbird-Salvador suspended. without right or
Justice, all cable COMMUNICATIONS between
Honduras and the United States and Europe,
to the detriment OF commerce and industry.
Fourth. Salvador ordered the suspension OF
commercial, postal and telegraph communica-
Iion between Salvador and Honduras -
These facts are the cause of the present atti-
tude OF Honduras and until Salvador changes
her tactics or peace shall be arranged Hon.
duras, as sister and friend of Guatemala, will
conserve and strengthen the attitude adopted
by Guatemala against Salvador.
The Guatamala peace negotiations are
nearly concluded. Everything is quiet.
There has been only partial change in the
Cabinet. Rumors of the fight or resigna-
tion of President Barillas are unfounded.
Provisional President Ezeta, in the course
of an interview yesterday at San Salvador
on the condition of affairs, said:
1--WE have nothing to fear in the interior
now. The people are unanimous in repel-
ling forcibly all foreign interference
with their home business, and are per-
fectly willing to fight out the question
with Guatemala. The army on the frontier
is 15, 900 strong in seven encampments, and
is we'll commanded. 1 have no confidence
in the peaceful efforts of the Diplomatic
Corps, and soon expect reopening of
hostllities. To-day asked General Cogran
for the last time to decide for peace or war.
Mr.. Miner, the American Minister, is per-
sonally interested in peace. will organize
a Cabinet, and the moment treatyof peace
is signed shall convoke Congress"
Minister Miner and Lieutenant Com
mander Charles S. Stockton, of the Thetis,
have left the city we'll satisfied with their
reception by the people. The populace here
generally believe that Minister Miner is
acting under directions from Secretary
Blaine, and that peace based on the most
favorable terms for San Salvador, and one
that will insure perfect freedom in its in
ternal affairs, will be the result.

The People Of Reval Silenced for Fear Of

RICH BANKERS SAVED THE HEBREWS

rcoPYR1eHT, 1890, BY THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PREss.1
BERLIN, August 16.-The German iron
clad Irene and the Imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern were sighted off Memel this morn
ing. They stopped for Emperor Williams
dispatches and then proceeded northward
Tor Reval, where they are timed to arrive
early tomorrow. A Russian squadron,
consisting of eighteen vessels, under the
command of the Grand Duke Alexis, will
ire salute upon the arrival of the German
vessels. The Grand Duke vladimir will
receive the Emperor upon landing, and the
regiment of st. Petersburg Grenadiers, of
which the Kaiser is honorary colonel, will
form guard of honor.
The Emperor's stay at Reval will be very
brief The Gar desired that the Emperor
should go straight to St. Petersburg, instead
OF landing at a place where the German
sentiment continues strong. The Kaiser
was not left in Ignorance of the Cars
WISHES, but, having expressed his determine
ton to see Reval, in which town he was in
terested, he declined to alter his route.
MIGHT EXCITE RUSSIA.
General Won Sehweinitz gave an inter-
view to number of German residents who
were desirous OF presenting an address to
the Emperor. 1t was arranged that the
Emperor would receive representatives Of
tine German colony, but any address beyond
a formal greeting has been tabooed in de-
ference to Russian jealousies. If the EN-
press had accompanied the Emperor to st.
Petersburg there would have been a selected
reception. The Czarina treated the sug-
gested visit of the Empress with such in
difference that General Won Schweinitz was
advised to abandon the idea.
The whole initial circumstances of the
Emperor's entrance into Russia will mill
tate against monarchism, and his meeting
with the Gar will be in genuine spirit of
cordiality. At noon the Emperor will
start Tor Narva. That city is already deco
rated with flags and garlands. Triumphal
arches have also been erected. A villa be-
longing to M. Polowtheff, a wealthy land
owner and large manufacturer. has been
placed at the disposal of the Gar, and will
be the scene of a meeting which is destined
to become historical.
