Whitaker and Bonner Heard From.

Sp'CIdI 10 tIIt IdLtIIt.
AUSTIN, TEX, July ga telegram re
ceived tonight from Whitaker and Bonner
informed the investigating committee that
they had intended to meet the committee
for further consultation and explanation,
but that as they had not been informed OF
the decision of the committee as to the con
sequences of their refusal TO testify they
thought it now too late, ard that any fur
thes talk would be useless Thus ends an
other singular little by-play. 1t should be
stated that the committee at their request
informed Messrs. Whitaker and Bonner
two days ago that the consequences of their
refusal TO testify would be the reporting of
the fact to the legislature, as under the
opinion of the Encouragement it had no
power to punish them for contempt.

THE GOULD DEBT.

The reason for not paying the Gouid debt
and closing up the receiversh;p sooner is
next discussed. 1t is shown that the stat
utes of Texas fixes the limit of such receiv-
erships at three years, and allows an in
definitely longer period when delayed by
appeal. The clause in the resolution requir-
ing the committee TO investigate 1.-The cause
or causes of the duration of the receiver

aimed at the governor prim arily. But in

THE ST. PAUL TEAM.
Manager Watkins Has About All
His Men in Line.

Manager Watkins, of the St. Paul
team, SAYS Denver and Lincoln will re-
main in the Western association this
season, and that the only change will be
the filling of vacancy in case of
Sioux City's resignation. What team
will be admitted is still conjecture.
The prospects are rather in favor Of
Grand Rapids, though indianapolis
has put in a strong bid for the
place. Mr.. Watkins has just placed
his order for the teams uniforms.
They will wear blue pants, white
shirts, belts and stockings, blue caps
and tourist coats. This year there will
be no double uniform system, one for
the home grounds and the other Tor the
trips. A flattering offer for the release
of Osborn was received during the
week, but Mr.. Watkins will keep him.
Lines are out for new center fielder to
take Murphy's place. The man sought
is one of the fastest base runners and
best hitters in the country. McLaugh-
Ian will, probably, play second base.
The st. Paul teams opening date at st.
Louis is Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
April IL, ~ and 13.
Season tickets for the st. Paul games
are now on sale. They are handsomely
Autographed, and can now be had for
less than half what they will cost when

CLEVELAND AND HILL.
The Two Distinguished Gentlemen
Face to Face.

New YORK, Jan. 31.-At a dinner
given tonight at the Manhattan club by
Senator William l.. Brown to the gov
ernor of the club and few
guests. ex-President Grover Cleye-
land and Gov. Hill met face to face.
The centennial banquet at the Metro
politan opera house two years ago was
the occasion of their last meeting.
Since that time they have been as
strangers, and the many things said and
written OF the two men only tend
ed to widen the breach. TO this
condition of affairs was due the
great interest taken in their meet
ing tonight. The affair was strictly
private one. The general opinion was
that one of the other of the gentlemen
would decline at the last moment. But
both were there. EXPresident Cleve-
land was there as early as O'Clock, and
moved about among the guests shaking
hands and conversng in most pleas
ant manner. At 7:45 the doors
to the library room, where the
dinner was served, were thrawn
open. and the banQueters, thirtytwo in
number, took their seats. The table
was in the form of an oval. At the head
of the table sat Senator Brown, with
Lieut.. Gov Jones Oh his left, and seat
on his right for Gov. Hill, who had not
at that time arrived. At the opposite
end of the table sat Frederick r. Cou-
der, the president of the Manhattan
club, and on his right sat Mr.. Cleveland.
at 8 o'clock Gov. Hill was announced.
AS he entered the room every one rose
and applauded. The governor adj
vanced to his seat, bowed to Senator
Brown, then looking directly at Mr..
Cleveland he smiled and bowed to that
gentleman. who returned the salute.
and then with bow to the rest present
he sat down. as did the other No en-
barrassment or ill-teeling was apparent
in the actions of either one of the two
men who were watched closely by all
present. The dinner and general con-
versation was then resumed. 1t was UNI
derstood at the outset that no speeches
were to be made. Among those pres
ent were Senator William L. Brown,
Gov. Hill. Lieut.. Gov. Jones, eX-Prcsi-
dent Cleveland. Senator Brice, OF Ohio;
Judge Allen, Benjamin Wood, Fred K.
Couder, John Il. AgneW, Walter Stan
ton, Leicester Holmes, F. r. Pendleton,
Judge Truax. Judge O'Brien, Judge
Lawrence, Judge Van Brunt.

KILLED THIRTY MEN.
Desperate Wilson Howard Jailed
i'm Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan 31.-Wilson How
ard, notorious desperate and outlaw,
was placed in Jail here tonight. He
was one of the principals in the notori-
Gus feud that for eight years has
existed between the Turner's,
Baileys and Towards in Harlan
county, Kentucky. and according
to the statement of John S. Bailey,
brother of two OF his victims, Howard
is responsible for the lives of six men,
berS of the Bailey family, three men,
bers of the Turner family and dozen
or more of the distant relatives of Bailey.
Howard will be held in custody here for
several months and will then be taken
to Maries county, Missouri. there to be
tried on the charge of numbering
Thomas McNichols,a deaf mute on April
81, 1889. Howard was located by John s.
Bailey in the penitentiary in California
where he was serving an eight-year
term for robbing stage near San QUEEN
tin. The governor granted pardon.
and in charge of Michael Imbodin. an
agent Of the state; Sheriff Hoyt Nc
Keever, of MarieS county, and John S.
Bailey. of Harlan, KY, Howard was
brought here. MIR. Bailey was seen to-
night. and said as nearly all the officers
in Harlan county were in possession of
the Howards justice will not be melted
to Howard there, and therefore it was
decided to have him tried in Missouri.

THE SALES SYSTEM.
As a Player Arson Strongly In
dOrseS 1t.


CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-"I am ball player,
and ] was the first man to offer a cent
for the release of ball player. Years
ago | offered to pay the Chicago ball
club $1,000 for my relase, and was re-
fused. And yet as player L am
thoroughly opposed to the abolition of
the sales system. | can't figure out
how it will do me any good"
So spoke Adrian G. Arson, captain or
the Chicago club. He was discussing the
scheme to do away with the sale OF
players releases.
II think" he said, ''that the working
of the new rule will be by no means of
benefit to the player, no matter how
much it may benefit the stockholders
and the financial hackers of the clubs.
AS stakeholder of the Chicago club l
am in favor Of it. AS player and
manager am opposed to It,"
Sin what way will the new law hurt
the player"
ut will hurt him inasmuch as here
after there will be no stars at all. The
best player on the field will be reduced
to the rank Of high private and he can
have no more pretenSi0n to being better
than any one else. There will be no
more $4,000 beauties aud no man Oh a
team can make stand for princely
salary. He can't get it. because 10 one
can be found that will paw an enormous
sum for his release. The sales system was
a good thing for the player in more ways
than one. When the Chicago club dis
posed of the releases of ClarkSon and
Kelly to the Boston club there was
nothing else to do. The men said at the
end of the season that und. L no cireun-
stances would they play with the Chi
cago club the next year. | believe they
would have carried their threats into eX-
ecution. AS it was they were glad to
be sold 1t made big stars out OF them,
and it brought up their salaries to sum
nearly twice the size of the salary they
were receiving i'll Chicago. That is how
the sales system was of benefit to them.
There isn't ball player alive that
doesn't know this as we'll as do, but
they made such a howl about it and mis-
led the public SO that they can blame no
one but themselves for the results"
"Why do you object to the abolition
of the system as a manager?'
because when | find a player-a
good one, mean-who kicks and re-
fuses to do the work he is capable of
can do nothing with him. Under the
sales system we could dispose of him
in way that wouldn't be dead loss to
us. Now all we can do is to let him go.
The abolition may be a good thing and
a saving of expense for the clubs of the
league generally, but think it is pretty
hard on captains, managers and lndl-
vidual players. 1t will absolutely kill
the star player in base ball."

THE CINCINNATI CLUB.
AL johnson Makes a Proposition
to John T. Brush.

.
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 31.-Since the
famous $4,000 offer to AL johnson he
has grown cautious, and all propositions
over the Cincinnati club between him
self aud John L. Brush, the league
holder of the franchise there, will be
on paper. johnson came from New
York last week and Monday sent the
following notice to Brush:
Cleveland. O.. Jan. 26, John T. Brush, Esq,
Indianapolis, Ind.-Dear sir: | have been
in consultation with my lawyers ever since
my return, and after very careful examlna-
ton of the contract signed by the eight Play
ers' League clubs. and also the constitution
Of that organization, together with the MIN
Utes taken of every meeting, they now ADVISE
me TO state 10 you that /. as the president OF
the Cincinnati Base Ball club. whose affairs
have been intrusted to my care by the other
purchasers of that organization, am ready 10
receive any proposition MADE by ELMER
Yourself as a representative of the National
league. or any one else representing that Or
ganZalion, which proposition will be COM
PEELED 10 first submit 10 the other purchasers
for their approval befo can give you any
decided answer Ny object in pursuing this
course is that may in no way forfeit my
claim against The different clubs and their
individual stockholders whom | expect TO
have settle with me. If you desire 10 meet
me in Cincinnati will do so at any time this
week, or YOU can communicate with me in
writing here. A. L. JOHNSON.
i, A. Russell, Johnson's Cleveland
lawyer, says he cannot be shaken in his
Cincinnati position. and that any dam
age done the property in his hands, tor
which the Players league people paid
Aaron Sterne and Harry Sterne $4,000
in cash and $4,000 in negotiable notes,
will be at Brnsh's charge. OF course,
nothing can stop Brush hiring other
grounds and another team for the city
if he chooses, but he cannot play
against National league teams there.
because Johnson holds the Ma
tIonal league franchise, and will
later along enjoin the National
league from making up a schedule
which doesn't include his club. 1t
will be a pretty legal fight when it
comes, and the decision will add a new
rule for future base ball leagues and
clubs to follow. The points for the in
junction petition are already Oh paper.
John f. Bruce. of Cincinnati, will be
associate council with Mr.. Russell.
johnson has also formally notified the
original slgners of the articles of agree
ment of the Players National league
that they will be strictly held to their
contract with them.

BASE BALL GRATING.
Chicago knights Templar Suggest

Chicago knights Templar Suggest
a Pretty State OfThings.f
Rem milford tells good story apropos
of skin grating. 1t was at the Roasters'
club over the Rhine. The case OF tae
Chicago Knight Templar who was
patched up with skin taken from the
arms of 1874 sir knights, led the thoughts
of the supreme rooster into strange
channel.
Suppose" said he. "that l was jim
Keenan,, and had made twenty-foot
slide into the home plate, and came up
with a well-peeled thigh, do you think
that there are 100 ball players who
would give me skin enough to cover the
spot?''
1t was so quiet that one could have
heard Tom Lotus say: "What'll you
haye?" if he had been in the room.
This evidence of self-sacrfice in Chi
to think of the possibilities of grating
in the base ball family. If | had few
inches of cuticle from Red Mack's
frame glued to me, do you suppose |
would assault the home plate every
time | went to bat? Suppose Billy Sun
day would contribute little skin to
Ollie Beard, do you think that he would
slide every time he bore down upon a
base? Imagine what a change it would
make III Joe Knight if some of Arlle
Latham's skin would make HIM get
up on the lines and whoop, There
might he a chance for Lefty
Mari to lose his cap every time he
chased fly if he borrowed some cuticIe
from Bug Holiday. | have mentioned
only cases of individual grating, but
the debate is open on the question:
"What do you think the result would be
if Jack Glasscock should be skinned
and the deficiency supplied by reauis
lions upon Billy Rhines, Count Kuehne,
Biddy McPhee, COmiskeY, Denny Ly-
ons, Ed Andrews, Orator O'Rourke, Jay
Faatz, Shorty Fuller and Billee Taylor?"
The supreme rooster sat down upon
the paralyzing query. The case was too
suppositional, and after argument pro
and con AL jennings solution was III
dorsed. He simply said:
