 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The clearance from this port of the schooner George w. Whitford, bound for Colon, Captain Foster in command, with a small con- signment of arms and ammunition aboard, gave rise to the query in ship ping circles as to the legality of such Q procedure.
 Acting Deputy Collector Dunn stated that the vessel had perfect right to carry arms and ammunition if the fact was m ade clear to the customs officials | that she did not intend to make war on | any country at peace with the United l States One of the firm of Foster & Co.,, ! owners of the vessel, whom called upon by reporter, said
 ''We were forced to arm the Whit ford owing to the fact that our other vessels, the Julian, Edith B. Combs and Willie, who sailed from here in Novem- Der, v ere seized and held by the Co., lombian Government Our vessels cruised along tho Panama coast, for which privilege we pay $50 license fee: | This has been done in every caso and why we should be molested 1 cannot
 understand. An al eged gun-boat from Carthasena is said to be tho asgresser.
 This boat, have heard, is nothing
 but a reconstructed pleasure yacht,
 manned by dozen greasy Spaniards.
 If Foster is attacked he will fight, if ke goes to the bottom of the ocean. In re-
 gard to our vessels already seized have
 written to Secretary Blaine, and I ex-
 pect reply at at any time.

 And all their murmurous kin; Dreamily floating up comes softly blending The laughter of the lin. Red burns the sumach by the brookside bloom The purple asters nod; And like the bush in Horeb, unconsuming, Flames out the golden-rod. Peace-peace and rest, in sunshine and in
 shadow;
 Sweet sounds the jays shrill cry; And drowsily on mountain md in meadow The cricket's lullaby.

 Rev. Trueman s. Perry, in AdvanoA HOSTESS should never reprove her servants in the presence of her guests. All that worries her must be carefully concealed from them. It is her place to oil the wheels of the domestic ma ohinery so that nothing shall jar. It is quite impossible in America that such . set of trained servants could be obtained who should make the domestic wheels move without jarring. But the hostess must not appear to notice it.

THE HAsE BALL PROSPECT.

The fight bet ween the National base ball league and tho Players brotherhood is growing daily more interesting and has reached stage where something may be prognosticAted Az to it's outcome. The first fact established is that the players of the National league are not to 20 over ina body to the new organiza- tion of the brotherhood. This resolution at one time appeared upon paper to have been substantially achieved. IL has been checkmated by the defection of n con siderable number of players who had been relied upon to make a part Of the change. These players have held to their old allegiance. Still, the indications are that the players organization is t. be very strong one,' despite the disa- pointments which those concerned i'll Il have met. The second point established is that there is to be an intense rivalry between the two leagues. Both are not about to succeed. One or the other organizations must go to the wall. In the end there must either be collapse or an absorbtion of one party by the other. The league that it is attempted to supplant knows that |; valuable property in its possession. iS threatened by the new organization The brotherhood players will look witt dislike and disgust upon clubs made uI in part of men who had promised t' remain with themselves, and who they had counted as on their side. It looks therefore, like war of extermination
 The National league has enc important advantage at the outset. It has large accumulated capital at its command This is especially true in the four grea cities of Boston, New York, Philadcl phia and Chicago. The brotherhoo, have to seek this capital by persuadint men to invest in an enterprise which n' business man can say is not doubtfn one. They will, doubtless, obtain som' of this; but it is not probable that it wi. be anything like equal to the heav, capital vested in the other side.
 The great wealth of the league is ; continual fear to the brotherhood iron the fact that it has gradually, b,' steadily, drawn from their ranks When, in addition to Clarkson and Gan gel and Glasscook and Denny, it Is fount that Thompson and Wclch and Ticrnal and Myers have either gone or are sus pected, the inquiry naturally is, wh next? President Days visit to Water bury was to induce Roger Connor t withdraw from the brotherhood. bu although Connor had always been hand somely treated by the New York mana ger, he had given his word and will sinl or swim with the brotherhood. More o their players will probably yield to thi money power, however, and it is a pel manent force with which the brother hood will have to contend.
 Aside from this, however, the organ zation that is most likely to succeed wi be that which is the best disciplined, tn best controlled, the best managed. Tn contest IS one in which business abilit will count for so much that we loo upon it as likely to be decisive of the r' suit. The organization that, in the frs place, procures the most temperate an tractable set of players, and in the neN place has them under the best control. the organization that is sure in the en to triumph.
