Reichskommissar Hermann Wissmann
was born in 1853 at Frankfurt-on-the-O Oder.
From his earliest youth he had a great de-
sire to travel, and devoured all the books
he could find about foreign countries. In
1878 he entered the German army, but the
life of q soldier did not satisfy him, and he
still dreamed OF travels. A few years later
he met DIR. Pogge, and, having heard from
that celebrated explorer about the lands
that remained to be explored in Central
Africa, he offered his services to the Afri-
kanische Gesellschaft in Berlin, which was
then organizing an expedition to Central
Africa He was promised the post OF
geographer to the expedition If he could
get leave of absence from his military
duties; and this having been granted. he
set out with DIR. Pogge for Africa in 1850.
He returned to Germany in 1883. and was
welcomed as the first German who had
ever crossed the Dark Continent.
Towards the close of the same year he
was chosen to lead an expedition at the
expense OF tae king of the Belgians. the
object OF which was TO discover the basin OF
the river Congo. He returned TO Africa,
and there, on the way between Dundo and
Malange, met his old friend DR.. Pogge.

Bismarck denies that there is any hostility
between the emperor and himself. He was
loyal adherent of the Hohenzollerns,
although he differed with the emperor on
the question of socialism. The emperor
decided to try to induce the Socialists to
maintain peaceful attitude by means OF
concessions, but he (Bismarck) believed in
lighting them as blackmaiiers. The sooner
they were defisd the better The time
would come when socialism would be
found to be a military question, and in
place of the present mild state of siege
there would be universal state of war;

trouble of any kind. alt was foolish of ma,
to believe such rumor," said Mr.. Brook

These reports are most fearfully exaggef~

anything more than q strike; exactly suollS
things are directed against employersof

Speaking of the Worlds fair Mr.. Brook.

BASEBALL BITS.

Amateurs Will Organize, and Professionals
viii Take Big Brace.
More baseball is on foot, and there IS
more sport in the air.
The travelling men of this city have
Issued call for $3.50 Saturday night at
the Pickwick parlors for all commercial
travellers to meet and organize a drum
mer's team. The project will most
probably be carried into eff cot and some
rare ball tossing be accomplished.
The movers in the scheme have already
applied to the management of the Fort
Worth team for the privileges of the
park. The travelling men wish to meet
the drummers of Dallas on the diamond
and are anxious to get up series of
games with the EIks, both of Dallas and
this city. --.
The management of the nine last night
released Mallory and Mercer This still
leaves the team with three pitchers
who are expected to hold the box down
in good shape. Mercer is q promising
young player and with practice
in lighter league will develop into a
fine pitcher, but the place here was a
little too heavy for him. This is his first
attempt at professionalism, and he will
probably be heard from yet.
Wehrle is giving the boys more con-
t1dence by the superiority of his work.
He has improved wonderfully since his
last appearance on the Texas
diamond, and is capable of
strong and brilliant work. He says
that he is going to do his
level best to do the Sand Grabs up, and
when Galveston visits this city some fine
games may be expected. Wehrle does
q great deal of headwork in
the box and wins good
many points by that alone.
He is fully the equal of Doug Crothers
in that respect, but differs from him in
that he has none of Crothers' illegiti-
mate trickery. Whatever he wins is ac-
complished by superiority, not by unfair
ness.
Manager Fogarty will probably play
Tobias in the field until the regular,
felders are well enough TO fill their own
positions. Then when the support
in the outfeld is stronger Tobias
will probably go into tho box
for change, In that case,
if he is little wild at first
the support can be relied upon to back
him up, and still win without endanger-
ing the chances of the team. The whole
team are getting slowly into better shape
and, VITA the change, the chances of a
raise in the ranks may be expected.

which prohibit captains and players
Of various clubs from disputing
or questioning decisions of umpires,
and umpires are di rected not to
allow players or captains from either of
the contesIing clubs to come in from
their positions to argue with him or to
dispute concerning any decisions made by
him. Umpires will hereafter notify cap
tains OF both clubs before the play begins
that this rule will be strictly enforced,
and whenever any player or captain
starts in. from his position to
dispute or question any decision
of the umpire he will be warned
by the umpire not to come in,
and if he insists upon violating this
rule the umpire will enforce the penalties
provided in such cases. This habit of
allowing players to argue with the UNI
pire concerning decisions which he has
made and which he cannot change will
go very far toward quelling disorder
upon the grounds and dissatis-
faction among the spectators, and
therefore insist that the laws
on this subject be strictly enforced. l
