WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretary Tracy
has written a letter Of unqualified censure
to Commander Reiter, who was relieved Of
his command for his action at San Jose at
the time of the killing of General Barrundia
on board the steamer Acapulco. The follow
ing extracts will serve to show the severity
of the censure.
In your situation. in command of a force of
public vessels of the United States, in terri
tory which. If not at that moment at war, had
recently been the scene of hostilites, as well as
of civil disturbances. it was your duty to watch
with the most active solicitude over the inter-
estS of your country in that quarter and eSpecl-
ally Its interests afioat.
From the moment that the approach of the
Acapulco, a steamer bearing the American nag,
was known to you, you should have taken every
step legally in your power to give countenance
and support to her captain, and protection to
all persons or board, especially when you knew
that their safety was likely to be menaced.
Instead of this, in your apparent endeavor to
pletely passive, that as far as events on board
the Acapulco were concerned, you and your yes
sells might as well have been on the other side
of the ocean.
Whenever any passenger whether American
or foreign, is received on board an American
vessel, he comes under the American flag and
is entitled to the protection and security OF
which that flag is the guarantee.
1t is believed that few cases have ever oc-
CURED in the history of the United States
where commanding officer SO completely
abandoned the responsibilities of his position,
as according to yonr own showing, YOU did on
this critical occasion. A United States officer
docs not ask of a foreign Government permis-
sion to offer asylum to any person on board an
American vessel at sea, who stands in need of
refuge. An officer who abdicates bis authority
and that of the nation he represents. and sur
renders 1t to Others has lesson to learn before
he can safely be entrusted with the command
of ship of war. "a,

POSTPONED THEIR DATES.

The Association Football Players Meet and
Change Their Schedule.
A meeting of the Western Association Foot
ball League was held at the Hotel Schlosser
last night.
Secretary Macpherson stated the meeting
had been called for the purpose of getting the
opinions of the different clubs in the League
in regard to postponing the schedule of games.
Five games had been scheduled for Christmas
Day and a like number for New Years Day of
which only one. that between the Mcdonald
Rovers and Allegheny Thstles, had been de-
cided.
1t was the general opinion that games should
be postponed and the schedule was changed to
open on February IL, and to close on Saturday
May 2, the game between Mcdonald and This
tie to hold good. The second game in the
ompetition will be played February 28. while
three Saturdays will be taken up in March,
postponed games-should there be any-ro be
played on vacant dates. Every Saturday in
April will be taken up.
Homestead visited McKeesport last Satur-
day on the understanding that the ground was
in playing condition, but found it a sheet of ice.
The game was played under protest and the
meeting decided that The game be declared
void.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Local Horsemen Figuring on a
Good Race Meeting Here.
OPINIONS ABOUT TIE POOL BILL.
A Home Baseball Magnate Explains the In

THE SCORER FOR THE NEW BALL CLUB

Any views, conjectures or opinions re-
garding local horse races are always interest
ing to a very large proportion of the citizens
of Allegheny county. At present there are
man patrons OF the good old sport of trot-
ting-racing wondering what will be accom-
plished in Pittsburg this year. Opinions
are varied on the question, and the writer
spent some time yesterday among local
authorities learning what each one thought of
the prospects. An official of the Homewcod
Driving Park said:
1--WE think our prospects extremely good.
While we have not held a meeting of the
directors this year, number of US have met
and discussed matters quito fully. We are
satisfied that we will open the grand circuit
campaign. We will be a week ahead of Cleve-
land, and we are considering what special in
ducements we will hold out to green horses
and young. both local and national. Our stake
races will be a go as far as know"
What about the pool bill?"
WELL now, we don't really want to talk any
thing about that bill. l know that L am not
prepared to say anything more than this:
wish bill legalizing pool selling tracks
would become a law. There is no sound argu-
ment against It, l am not going to argue the
own interests, and our interests are tho inter-
ests of the entire community. We are not
idle"
Subsequently It was learned that very strong
and what is expected to be successful efforts
are to be made toward having bill passed in
Harrisburg fegalizng pool selling on race
tracks. That is all the bill aims at, and it is to
be supported by some very influential business
men in this city and Philadelphia. There is
another feature. The local official above re-
ferred to said that If the pool reform Dill
passed there would be a running meeting here
next May or June. At any rate. local patrons
of the sport can rest assured that no stone will
be left unturned to have some good horse races
here.

MEMORIAL OF SPINNER.
Female Treasury Clerks Urged to Erect q
Statue of Him.

Statue of Him.
lFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE propo-
sition that the women clerks in Washington
owe it to their own sense of propriety to
build here a monument to the late General
F. E. Spinner is creditable to the author of
it. and it ought to grow from an oral hint
into an actual fact" said W. A. Croffut,
the well-known newspaper writer, to-day.
81 was clerk in the Treasury Department
when the quiet revolution took place, and I
know that the Treasurer was entirely
responsible for it. 1 met him here on his
visit year ago and he expressed the pride
he felt in that action.
''The best thing 1 ever did here" he said.
with great earnestness, twas the appointment
ofthe first woman clerk; in fact 1 often think
it was the only deed OF my life that is worth
RENE bering. am glad I did it; the re-
suit shows that it was worth doing. 1t has
improved the service and helped a thousand
women to win their bread" But in his
prime General Spinner was such a roughly
and rudely pictureque person that statue
would be the fttest memorial. The women
of all tine departments owe it to themselves
to make up a generous purse for such
statue, and it seems to me that it should be
placed on the front of the east flight of
steps, near the room he occupied when the
first woman was called to earn her living by
clipping green backs.

TO BUILD THE CANAL.

Pittsburgers Can Have 1t in Operation in
Four Years if They Form Company
Uncle Sam Would Not Be So Rapid.
The Ship Canal Commission held another
meeting yesterday. Consideration was given
to the report to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture on the 18th inst. The members were
we'll pleased by Governor Beavers reference
to the project in his message.
Mr. Eben Brewer, speaking last night OF
the construction Of the canal, said it could
not be built because ofthe revised Constitution
of 1873, which prohibited the State sanction
ing or supporting any project which was not Of
an essentially public nature and for the good OF
the whole State. He thought the Legislature
would ask the Federal Government to do
the work. HIS individual opinion of how the
work should be done was by so of PittsburG's S
solid citizens coming together and forming a
company tor the purpose.
a private contractor would build the canal
in four years; if the Government undertook 1t.
it would not be completed IN 70 years, and
would be of no use to the present generation OF
business men. The canal was estimated to COST
SIS 0C0 700. Based on traffic Of 10000, QUO tons
of freight annually. conservative estimate
of the saving to citizens would be so cents pee
ton or about S., 900 600 each year. So, the canal
would pay for itself in i've years, when the
Federal Government might buy it and make it
a free waterway.

IBY CABLE TO THE pIsPATcH.l


LONDON, Jan. 7.-Mr. Parnell, accom-
panied by several friends, arrived to-day at
Charing Cross by the tidal train from
Folkestone. No demonstration whatever
was made. A conference of the anti-Par-
nellite leaders was held at the National
Liberal Club. The news received from
Boulogne in regard to the conference be-
tween Parnell and O'Brien was satisfactory
both to the McCarthvites and the members
of the club. A majority of the National
Liberals express themselves as having no
fear of the McCarthyites agreeing TO any
line of action tending to weaken the alliance
between the Irish party and the Glad
stonians.
Advices received from Boulogne state
that upon Mr.. O'Brien's personal entreaty
he was empowered to ask Justin Mccarthy
to retire from the Craftsmanship of the anti
Parnell section of the Irish party in favor of
John Dillon or, II is understood, the con-
ference agreed that if O'Brien preferred to
do so, he could serve as Chairman. Ac-
cording to the same advices O'Brien and
Mccarthy are to have an interview at Bou-
logne tomorrow, when the final settlement
of the subject will be made. Gladstone is
understood to have secretly approved the
said to be pledged to abandon Parnell if he
proves insincere in the pledges given.
John Dillon has cabled from New York
his approval of Parnell's temporary retire.
ment from the Craftsmanship in favor of
O'Brien. The negotiations with Mccarthy
will follow. During the course of inter-
views in Boulogne to-day Mr.. O'Brien is
reported to have said: "My conferences
with Mr.. ParnelI have been finished" Mr..
Gill is announced to have said that he was
not at liberty to speak on the subject of the
conferences, except so far as to say that
peaceful settlement of the matters in dispute
may be expected.
Later, Mr.. O'Brien said: ''I have nothing
to add to the communications that have al
ready been made to the newspapers, except
that, in view of all there is at stake for un-
happy ireland. and in the interests of friend
ship and good will between the two peoples,

tion of the English press to exercise patience
