Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Ihe financial dis
pute between the factions is likely to be
one of the features of the coming Irish
struggle. When forty thousand dollars
was released from the League fund a
month ago, twenty-five thousand went to
the campaign committee and fifteen
thousand to the Tenants Defense League.
The McCarthyites say the latter sum
was too much, and furthermore contend
that instead of being devoted to tho
evicted tenantry. it was used to meet ar
overdraft on the Hibernian Bank.
L. p. Gill declares that Mccarthy must
have known when he signed the release
that the fund set apart for the tenants was
heavily overdrawn
The McCarthyites assert on the con-
trary that he left Boulogne believing that
the money was to be devoted to the
evlcted tenants only. The question arises
whether there was misconception at the
conference, or whether O'Brien thought
he was acting within the lines of the
agreement in adjusting the bank account,
The AlcCarthyites insisted on the declara-
tlon that the fund was to be used for the
tenants.
In an interview Justin Mccarthy de-
MES the story of a Liberal subsidy of S2O,s

New YORK, Feb. 1S.-Only few weeks
ago the baseball factions were shaking
hands over the settlement of all diff
culties, and a national agreement was
adopted providing for Board of Control
to settle all questions.
The said Board of Control had meet
ing in Chicago last week, and as a result
OF its decision in giving Stovey, Bier
bauer and Mack to the National League.
the American Association, at meeting
here to-day, deposed President Allan w.
Thurman of Columbus, and elected in
his place Louis Kramer of Cincinnati,
and in brief resolution notified Secre-
tary Young of the National Board that
the American Association withdraws
from the national agreement at once.
There was hot talk in the meeting about
Thurman, who, only few weeks ago,
was lauded as the savior of the National
game. He was accused Of having been
faithless to the Association interests in
the Board of Control meeting.
Kramer telegraphed his acceptance of
the Presidency, and committees We're ap-
pointed to arrange schedule, etc.
Another move taken was the adoption
of guarantee fund, which will most
etfectually balk all efforts of the League
to injure the Association, by reducing the
chances of the withdrawal of the Associa-
ton clubs. Fifty-fve per cent. of the
capital stock Of each club will be depos-
tied with the President to prevent any
jumping from the fold.

His Fortune Being Devoted for the
Benefit OF the Poor.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-A Herald Monte
Carlo special says: 81 had the pleasure
of being received by Baron De Hirsch at
the Villa Carlotta, Monte Carlo. when he
kindly gave me the following interesting
particulars respecting his numerous mu-
niticent gifts to the poor. Baron De
HlrSch'S whole affections were centered
inl his only child, Baron Lucien De
Hirsch, who died some few years ago
after a short illness. This cruel affliction
caused HIM to retire from all active busi-
ness. Being possessed of enormous
wealth, and having no direct heir, he,
after mature consideration, decided to
employ or devote portion of his fortune
to the alleviation of the Sufferings of his
fellow-men.
"HirSch is man large and liberal on
religious matters, many members of his
family being Christians. Furthermore,
his adoption of two English children,
who are being brought up in the Christian
religion is sufficient proof that his un-
equalled hberality is not limited to his
own people. For several years past he has
seriously occupied himself with the mis-
cradle condition of the poor Jews in
Russia, and he determined to take all
possible steps to come to their assistance.
Besides establishing afund TO help the
RUSSIAN Jews to emigrate to the United
States, he sent commission composed of
three competent men to the Argentine
Republic for the purpose of reporting on
the agricultural prospects of that country.
Their report being favorable, further
important sum will be provided by the
Baron for the purpose of enabling Rus,
sian Jews to emigrate to that country and
for the purchase of land there for their
benefit. The Baron has just given twelve
million francs for the Galician schools"
