III
CINCINNATI, March 1O-Cineinnati is
still in the fight, and the Association does
not propose to surrender the city without
giving the League taste of battle. .There
will be club here Just as sure as there are
little apples, said President louis Kramer
to THE DISPATCH representative tonight.
This morning the delegates were gloomy.
The story of the desertion of AL johnson
was not entirely unexpected, but neyerthe-
less it was blow which, for the moment,
dazed the delegates. They gathered together
early. President Louis Kramer, Zack Phelps,
attorney; Emmet Tompkins, Columbus; j. B.
Hart, Boston, and William Barnie, of Balti
more, were appointed members Of a ways and
means committee, and they reported that they
seriously questioned the validity of the trans
fer of the Cincinnati club to the League
owners. They recommended that the President
and attorney be empowered to institute pro-
ceedingS in law or in equity to frustrate the
deal. They declare that the interest of the AS
sociation demanded that the club be estab-
hshed in Cincinnati, and they fattered them
selves that the Cincinnati public was favorable
to the cause of the Association and 25-cent ball.
Under such advice the first legal gun will be
fired against Al Johnson ct al. tomorrow. The
papers are all ready for filing c. A. Prince
and George w. Wagner sent strong kilograms
advising the Association to hold the grounds at
all hazards and proceed also against Johnson.
The one item of business transacted was the
passage of this resolutions:
WHEREAS, In view of the existing baseball
controversy it is essential that there should be
sufficient funds raised to meet all emergencies,
Resolved, That each club member be re-
quired to deposit with the President within l5
days from this date the sum of S.. 900, to be held
by him and used as directed hy the Board of
Directors of the American Association.

NORTHSIDE FINANCES.

Allegheny's Committee Meets and Passes
on Routine Business-The Tax on the
Picture Exhibit Remitted-A PROPOSE
ton to Pass 13 Mills Taxation Defeated.
The Finance Committee of Allegheny
met last night, with Mr.. Snaman in the
chair. Mr. Billy, representing the united
Bohemian societies, appeared before the
committee and asked for an exoneration of
their city tax, amounting to S54 80. Mr..
Billy said that the tax was on school where
the Bohemian language was taught free Of
charge. The exoneration was granted.
The subcommittee having in charge the pay
ment of the California avenue debt reported
that the amount yet owing was $4,000 1t
recommended that the city should issue street
improvement bonds for S230UO and allow the
property owners to pay the rest. An ordinance
to this effect was ordered printed for Councils.
The claim of William A. H Gilman, for damages
to his property caused by the grading OF CALI
fornia avenue, was ordered to be compromised
for $50. Mr.. Holman claimed $780, and this
caused great deal of discussion, Chairman
Snama1 remarkIng that if it were his property
and handsome street like California avenue
were put through he would never ask a cent
damages.
John K. Beatty representing the American
Art Society. appeared before the committee to
ask that the usual license fee of 500. which is
collected from clrcuses. etc.. be taken of the
ton, which is to follow the present display.
The exoneration was granted. In speaking of
them after Mr.. Beatty said he thought the out
come would be permanent art exhibition in
Allegheny.
a general discussion on the city's indebted
ness, which Controller Brown reported to be
about S254, 900. was held. Each member took
part in the discussion, and Mr.. Lare was given
some pretty hard raps for the part he took in
cutting down appropriations and reducing the
tax millage, making it impossible to reduce
this debt.
Mr.. Neeb called attention to the fact that
when Mr.. Snaman, the Chairman of the
Finance Committee. got up to make an ex-
PLANTATION of why the millage was raised, GER
tain members refused to hear him. and
shouted him down.
MIR. McAfee said that this was so, and it was
the most discourteous act he had ever wit
messed in Select Council
Mr.. Dahlinger remarked that the appropria-
tion ordinance as 1t is. would never pass Com
mon Council and he moved that the millage be
placed at l3 mills, and the city debt be paid
and departments allowed enough to run them.
This motion was subsequently withdrawn,
and Mr.. Wertheimer remarked that the de.
partments would have 10 live within their ap-
preparations if they had to discharge every
employe. He would see to II that they would
not go into the sinking fund for money.
Treasurer Macferron asked for temporary
loan of Sl00,OO0 stating that he would require
that much money to run the city to the end of
the present fiscal year. The Treasurer was
authorized 10 secure the loan.

DUBLIN, March 10.-The National Fed
Grafton Convention opened in this city to-
day. Justin Mccarthy presided. A
letter from Archbishop Walsh was
read in which the Archbishop said
that four-ftths of the constituencies
were ready to follow the lead OF
Kilkenny. Mr.. Parnell's policy involves
the construction of the work of the last ten
years. Letters of approval of the course
adopted by the McCarthyites were received
from Archbishop Croke and most of the
bishops in Ireland
Sir Thomas EsmoDde, the Secretary of the
convention, stated that lis organizations
had sent delegates. Letters had been re-
ceiyed from 80 other organizations stating that
these organizations would support Mr.. Nc
Carthy. MIR. Mccarthy said that the League
had allowed itself to be captured in a recreant
way by a ''crowbar brigade" The Federation,
he declared, was well rid of the National
League. 1t was thought by some persons that
they had waited too long for the LeaGuerS to
take action, but they had felt bound TO hold on
in the hone that the party would remain united
For MIR. Parnell he had no words but those of
compassion. In following a wrong course Mr..
Parnelrs fate leader of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party had become sealed.
Thomas Sexton. member of Parliament for
West Belfast made a statement to the effect
that during the Boulogne negotiations the rep
resentatives of the ma jority of the Irish Par
liamentary party offered to leave the chairman
ship of the party open for a year if Mr. Parnell
would retire temporarily from the position.
The negotiations proceeded on this basis. Mr..
Parnells leadership he SAID, is no longer within
the range of practical politics.
An executive committee was appointed con-
sisting of Messrs. Mccarthy Condor, Davi.t,
Deasy, Dickson. Murphy. McCartan, Arthur
OConnor, Sexton. Sheehy, sullivan and Webb
and also Messrs. Dillon and o. Brien if they are
willing to serve.
The draft of the constitution submitted to
the convention defines the objects of the Ma
tional Federation being nome rule, land
law reform. improvements in the status
OF the masses, assent TO the social and
political rights to laborers and arti-
sans. the development of Irish indus
tries and resources, ths adjustment of the
grand jury system, the establishment of an
educational system based on the principle of
equal dealing toward all sections of
the Irish people. electoral registration,
reform in regard to Parliament
and municipal governments and other
bodies, and the repeal of the coercion
act A pledge is also proposed binding all the
members of Parliament who declare for the
National Federation to vote with the party. 1t
IS suggested that the Chairman of the Irish
Parliamentary party should also be President
Of the National Federation.

Chicago Musicians Up in Arms Against the
Orchestra Director.

Chicago Musicians Up in Arms Against the
Orchestra Director.
:sYEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
CHICAGO, March l0-Theodore Thomas is
under boycott by the local musicians. The
trouble is due to Thomas contract with the
Orchestra Associa ton. The latter was formed
for the purpose of maintaining a permanent
orchestra of the highest character resident in
Chicago. and incidentally of securing per-
nanently to Chicago the services of Theodore
Thomas. The concerts contemplated are to be
given next October, and the contract provides
for a series of 20 weeks every year for five
years. The clause in the contract that has
caused the trouble is one by which Thomas
agrees not to employ in his orchestra for these
20 week serials any local musicians but to re-
cruit it entirely from European musicians or
those from other States.
Two weeks ago Thomas asked Prof. Rosen-
becker to secure the services for the week of
March %, for a concert, of IA musicians.
naming those he preferred should be engaged.
Rosenbecker laid the communication before
the musicians. They, with one accord, decided
that they would have nothing to dn with 1t, for
if they were not good enough to play next fall,
they would not play now. The matter is GER
tain to be brought up before the annual meet
ing of the National League of Musicians,
which convenes next week at Milwaukee.

IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT;
HARRISBURG, H March 10.-The veterans of
the House met to-day to take action upon the
Loyal Legion bill to appropriate 100000 condi-
toned upon the other Northern States appro-
priating further sums sufficient to make a total
amount of $3.50, 900 for the erection of a group
monument at Gettysburg to General Meade
and the eight corps participating in that battle.
After some discussion it was decided that as
Pennsylvania had already erected a monument
imposing an unfair share OF the cost upon her,
and they wo uld therefore stand by the bill
which bas already passed the Senate, and will
600 for statues of Generals Meade and Han
COCK.
A committee, cons lsting of Messrs. Zeigler,
W. F. Stewart and Nesbitt, was appointed to
act with General Gobin, who introduced the
Senate bill.

THE BANK INVESTIGATION.
An Interesting Paper on Reserve Funds by
Charles Meyran, of Pittsburg

An interesting Paper on Reserve Funds by
Charles Meyran, of Pittsburg.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, March 1Q-At a meeting of
the commission to investigate the banking in
stitutions of the State this afternoon. a paper
prepared by Mr.. Charles Meyran, of Pittsburg,
was read. The paper dealt with the question
of reserve fund. and held that a commercial
discount bank should have Is or 25 per cent re-
serve, as in the case of a national bank. A
savings bank, paying interest on deposits, and
from which money cannot be drawn on demand,
most having rules requiring notices varying
from one week for $780, to IL weeks for 81 200,
need not carry reserve Of more than or per
cent as these notices give them ample time to
call on funds TO meet the demands.
To compel savings bank with 81 000, 600 to
keep reserve OF 25 pes cent, would mean that
it must pay interest on S5OOOOO which it could
not invest. This could not be done unless the
rate of interest upon deposits were decreased
IN proportion to that part compelled to be kept
idle,

by the commission to revise and codify the

The argument used was that, owing to the
great number of special poor laws this bill
would only apply to IA counties. having total
population of ouy ia, 900, or about Z per cent,
while costing the State S25 900 annually. 1t
would also repeal the act of 1879, establishing
