THE COLUMBUS STATUE.
The Bill Passed by the Senate Yester-
day.

The bill passed by the Senate yesterday for
the erection of statue of Christopher Column
bus on the site now occupied by the naval
monument was amended by Mr.. Morrill, from
the bill as originally introduced and printed
i'll TIE STAR. The irst bill appropriated only
1000 for the entire monument, while the bill
as passed makes the sum $4,000.
Mr.. Morrill,, in a speech on the subject, said
that the naval monument is to be removed at
the request of Admiral Porter. who was instru-
mental with other naval officers not only in
paying for it but in having it placed there; but,
on further consideration, he deems that another
site in the city would be more appropriate for
the monument and when removed any statue
that may be placed there will not occupy
nearly as large a circle Is now occupied
and II VIII be an Improvement to that part of
Pennsylvania avenue, giving more room for the
passage Of vehicles and for the street railroad
tracks
Mr.. Morrill, referred to the statue of Lafay-
cite now being constructed and remark cd that
1t would be tue best work OF art in Washing
ton.
The resolution as passed provides That the
Secretary of the Navy, the chairman of the
joint committee on the library and the archi-
tect of the Capitol be and are hereby author
lied TO contract fosa statue in bronze OF Chris
topher Columbus, to be erected on the circle
at the western entrance to the Capitol grounds
from Pennsylvania avenue. and for this pur-
pose and for the entire expense OF the founda-
ton and pedestal OF the monument the sum of
$4,000, or 80 much thereof as may be needed
is hereby appropriated out Of any moneys in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Pro-
vided, That the naval monument now standing
upon the circle herein mentioned shall be
removed and placed upon the triangular reser-
Walton bounded by Connecticut avenue. 10Th
street and Q street, and any expense attending
such removal shall be paid out of the sum
herein appropriated.

OYSTER INTERESTS.
Innocent Oystermen POunced Upon--A
New Shipping Bill.

dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from An
oyster schooner W. E. Bartlett, lodged COM
plant before US. Commissioner d. r. Randall
at Annapolis yesterday, charging the captain
OF the schooner, assisted by the crew Of the
schooner Ella Flaherty, with assaulting
them while the vessel lay at anchor in Herring
bay Tuesday. Warrants have peen issued to
Deputy US. Marshal Stinchcomb for the arrest
OF the parties. The two men. who walked to
Annapolis from Herring bay looked as though
they had been roughly handled
Capt. T. C. B. Howard, commanding the state
steamer Gov. Thomas, arrested yesterday
morning Capt. Knee of the schooner Ida and
Michael Flaherty, captain of the schooner Ella
Flaherty, charged with illegal dredging for
oysters. They were turned over for trial at
Herring bay.
Capt. Parks of the schooner Miles discovered
yesterday to the westward of Tlghman's Island
an oyster rock that had never before been
dredged upon. Three boats are said to be at
three hundred bushels day. 1t is thought the
boats now engaged in dredging on the rock
will soon dispose of the supply.
There Was introduced in the house yesterday
bill 70 repeal an act passed two years ago
which provided for the appointment of state
shipping commissioners who were to be located
at Cristield, Deals Island, ST. Michaels Cam
bridge, Soionons Island, Annapolis and Balti-
more. 1t is asserted that the present law will
impose Inconvenience and additional burdens
upon the captains of oyster boats and that it
gives no practical aid to dredgers. Mr.. Dry
den, the author of the bill, has introduced the
measure in the interest of oystermen, of whose
cause he is the champion. He proposes to offer
an amendment to the shipping bill now before
the mouse so as to require the shipping masters,
who shall give bond for the faithful perform
ance of their duties to make weekly or monthly
reports to the bureau of labor and statistics in

Cruelty to Man AS Well as Beast.

II don't wonder that some people steal" said
Agent Key of the humane society to a STAR
reporter today. II recently arrested poor
colored man for cruelty to animals. The poor
mans clothing scarcely covered his body. He
vss driving q sand cart, and he told me that
be only received 81 per week aud his board.
just imagine how q man Is going to clothe
himself and purchase other necessaries on such
wages. That Is what call cruelty to man. aud
yet there Is no law to punish such all offensc.
As soon a. people learn the workings of the
humane society and appreciate what it Is
doing an effort will be made to protect these
poor people, who are virtually working for
nothing. When the work is begun il will take
less than sixty days to unearth many shocking
cases Of cruelty OF that kind"

WHAT WILL THE CLUB BE?
Neither League Nor Brotherhood-At-
lantic Association.

TIE STAR has all along maintained that the
| chances of Washington employing league
| base ball during the coming season are very.
very small When the owner of the league
rights at the capital is not only willing but
anxious to sell out, and the controlling powers
of the league are DESTROYS OF reducing the
number of league clubs, it looks very much rs
| il arrangements might be made at the league
meeting next month to satisfy both sides. In
the meantime the report has started to the
effect that the brotherhood people are making
arrangements to locate a brotherhood club i'll
this city. The most diligent inquiry fails to
show anything more than rumor floating
around in base ball circles. Those who are best
posted on base ball matters argue that i: would
be impracticable for the brotherhood to have
five teams i'll the east and three in the west
even if it were desirable to locate a club
here. which might have been the case once but
is not now.
WHAT WILL BE DONE.
Washington will have no league base ball
and no brotherhood base ball, but it is very
likely that an Atlantic association club will be
located here. Nothing definite is announced
yet, but steps are undoubtedly being taken by
certain parties to establish a club here and
the preliminary move to lease Capitol park in
all likelihood gave rise to the rumor that the
brotherhood boys are coming
NEW YORK AND THE BROTHERHOOD.
The New York club seems determined to have
some fun at the expense of the members of the
brotherhood teams Of that city and Brooklyn,
even if they cannot get them back into the
fold and If ii costs something. Yesterday John
L. Day had papers served ON .'Buck" Ewing
the great catcher. to cite him to appear to give
reason why he should not be enjoined from
playing with any other club than the New York
league club. The suit was filed in the United
States circuit court. 1t is expected that other
suits will soon be instituted, 30 that when the
season opens nearly all of the New York and
Brooklyn brotherhood men will be under suit
papers if not actually under preliminary in
functions.
An exchange says: "Ward is trying all he
knows how to postpone the trial of his case and
this IN the face of his boasts about winning it. "
Fo2lrty is out in a statement that Mulyey
will play brotherhood ball in Philadelphia this
year. Mulvey has lost a greatly many friends
and has gained none by his vacillating course
this winter, first sayini; he would stand by the
players, then hedging with Harry Wright and
now going back again to the other side.
The offer OF $31,U00, 900 Tor the league fran
chises proves one thing-that there is more
money IN base ball than the league magnates
are willing to admit.-Netr York Star. 1t
proves nothing of the kind. If it proves any
thing it proves that they have sunk more
money in the business than $1,000 900 would
replace Lphid Times.

STRAWBERRIES AND CUCUMBERs.
The Market Well Supplied With Hot
House Products.

Strawberries are plentiful and of good quail
ity for this time of the year. They are also
selling at exceptionally low prices. Some of
the berries come from the Boston hot houses
and some from the south. The supply is more
than equal to the demand, which brings the
prices down. Last year at this time berries
were bringing as high as 81 per box. but they
are now sold for from Is to so cents and the
boxes are nearly full quarts.
Fresh cucumbers are now on the stands in
the Center market and are selling ut 80 cents
apiece. They are grown in the hot houses in
Boston, The Boston growers now have COM
petitors who run large hot houses within three
miles of this city. The cucumbers in the latter
houses are not yet quite ready for tine market
but will be before the middle of next month.

Representative Wade, from the committee
on labor, yesterday reported to the House
favoraoly the Gest bill, requiring Unite
States iaoorers, workmen and mechanics en-
p!oyed since June %, 1868, to be paid on the
basis OF eigh. hours for each days work The
Dill directs the Court OF Claims to adjust all
claims OF this kind and provides that no statute
OF limitations or payment made or contract or
receipt gwen for less sum per day Than the
full price OF days work shall affect the right
o. recovery. In the accompanying report the
committee describe at some length .'some of
the ways and means resorted to by the officers
Of the government to avoid the plain import of
the eight-hour law and extort from the en-
ployes OF the government the same number of
hours work per day they performed before
the passage OF the eight-hour law. thus setting
at naught solemn enactment Of Congress
which has remained unrepealed and without
an effort to repeal it for more than twenty -one
years" As to the amount that IL will take to
pay the claims the committee finds that il will
require for the Navy department s3 ZOO, 600, in

FisticufIs at West Point.

West Point had old-fashioned fist fight
this week. Six rounds were fought by two of
the cadets and one Of them was 30 severely
punished that he has been laid up in the hospi-
tai ever since. Those who were present at it
and the authorities of the academy have sue
ceeded in keeping the news from the public
and even now the details of the encounter are
not known. Cadets Cassett and Lawton were
the principals. Lightweight gloves were
used. Cassett was knocked squarely out in
the sixth round. The hight grew out of an in
sulting remark made by Cassett TWO months
ago. The military academy authorities are
greatly stirred up over the affair and it is more
than probable that all cadets who were Ain
any way connected with the fight will be ex-
PEELED. thorough inquiry is being made into
The affair and 1t will be brought to the atten-
ton OF SecretaryRProctor.
