night of the National League Messrs.
Brush, Robinson and Spalding formed a
The baseball season OF 1901 as disastrous
us the one of last year. They want the
League TO establish rival club TO Al.
Johnson's team in Cincinnati, and they
want the League members to help estab-
lsh and support il. Boston, Philadelphia
and Brooklyn will not contribute a cent
for the purpose, and New York and Pitts
burg are not in q position. to do so. The
meeting last night was characterized by
some Of the most acrimonious discussions
that II has ever known, and when the del
egatcs came out of the meeting room at
midnight they We're Yisibly excited.

IN THE CRIMINAL COURT.
The Time Occupied In Organizing tho
Petit Jurors.

Ahc Aimo OccupAcu IN OTB"hihihB tho
Petit Jurors.
The formation of the petit juries for
March occupied the attention of Judge
Higher for portion of this mornings
session of the Criminal Court. The usual
number of persons drawn on the juries
presented excuses, but very few escaped.
''Perhaps," said Judge Hagner ''if
those who are excused knew. that they
are liable to be drawn TO serve three
months on the Police Court juries they
would not be SO anxious to escape service
in This court for month";"
After the jury was organized the men,
beTs were excused until tomorrow morn
ing, as arraignments only were ON the
assignment for to-day.
George Hunt and j. II. Reynolds two
white men, pleaded not guilty to indict-
ments charging violation Of the policy
law. William T. Walker entered the
same plea to a charge of violating the
game laws.

POSSIBLY A DIFFERENCE.
[Shreveport Times. |

lSAAASNStVAV
Ever since the inspection of the lot
terry question the changes have beer
rung on the chimes, evoking all kinds
of intermingled sounds. High sound
ing invective and deadly vituperation
wholesale personal abuse and defama
ton Of honorable and respected citi'
zens, the tender and touching appeals,
the lachrymose pathos of sentiment,
until the question presented aspects as
varied as that from the typical dragon
breathing fire and destruction, to the
touching spectacle of weeping Mo
be. All this, too, in behalf of a "high
moral" plane.
Lately new phase has been pre-.
sented of virtue and putty and honor,
enticed into the cess pools of vice and
sin and degradation, without any such
laments and attacks as those that have
met the discussion of the lottery ques-
ton. Yet both the lottery and the
gtttering and enticing dives are H.
censed under the law. If all such ex-
listing institutions are to be abolished
and not taxed for revenue, then let the
dance houses, the abodes of shame,
the dens Of vice, the saloons and eve
ry other semblance of evil be swept
from the town and city and the blue
laws and Paritanical usages of early
days reign supreme. But fish should
not be made of one and flesh of the
other. Here is the Baton Rouge Id
u0cate's summary Of the last phase of
the "moral" aspect:
1.-THE keeper of the Royal street dive
where young girls are enticed to their
ruin, publishes a card in New Orleans
paper and gives two reasons why he ought
not to be molested. First" he SAYS, i've
keep a licensed business, and second, we
pay liberal salaries and pay promptly ev-
cry week." 10 his mind these two rea-
sons seem to be entirely satisfactory. but
whether they will be SO to the people of
Louisiana remains to be seen. In the
meantime let it be remembered that I'VE
keep licensed business duly signed and
sealed by the right hand of the Governor
on the 9th day Of July, 1890, when h.s was
in the throes of moral spasm over the
possible recharter of the Louisiana State
lottery."'

The test of the Brown wire CUR
which was made at Reading, Pa, a
few days ago, shows conclnsively that
American genius cannot be excslled
and that in the case of few years
this country will be manufacturing
the finest high powdered riHed cannon
in the world. The test was made by
taking the segment of five-inch wire
wrapped gun twenty inches lodg and
screwing steel plug into the apper-
ture at each end. In the center of
one of the pings was a small hole
two-tenths of an inch diameter, through
which was passed wire to explode
the charge of powder by electricity.
The tests were made by the explosion
OF charges of one, two. three aud four
pounds of quick burning rifle powder,
ana Whiie tie last charge fused the
steel plugs, careful measurement
showed that the wire tube of the gun
was nowise affected, despite the fact
that the calculation showed that in
firing the found pound charge the gun
tube sustained a pressure of thirty. one
tons to the square inch. The army
officer who, with the inventor, con-
Quoted the tests was delighted with
the results, and did not hesitate to say |
that the success Of the Brown wire gun
will revolutionize cannon building the
sorld over. Now what this country
reeds is good iear ships to float these
runs and soins modern forts TO put

OF INTEREST TO HoMEsTEADERs

A special from Washington City to
the New Orleans Pieayatne has the fol-
lowing information of interest to those
who are on U. S. homesteads, and who
settled on them before the definite To-
cation of the N. 0. Pacific Railroad,
that. is before the year 1881. The
special says:
The commissioner of the general land
office has just rendered decision which
is of Importance to settlers and home
steaders on lands included in grant claim
ed by the New Orleans Pasilic Railroad
Company. His decision was rendered in
the cases of F. NJ. Morris and VIM. Mott,
OF Grant Parish against the New Orleans
Pacific Railroad Company, bnt is impor-
tant In that it affects q number of similar
cases pending. Mr.. Blanchard, in behalf
OF the homesteaders, called the cases np
and asked the ruling of the department.
Nhe decision is that Morris and Mott are
entitled to take their land under the
homestead law, because they had settled
on the land prior to the date of definite
location of the line of the railroad. Mr..
Bladchard has called up number of SINH
lar cases from his district and asked decis-
ION on them. Senator Gibson also at va
rlous times urged the land officers to SET
tie the issues involved in the Morris and
Mott cases.
