League Magnates Will Put Club in

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH;

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.;
New YORK, March 5.-The National
League magnates completed all their plans
to-day; adjourned their meeting subject to
the call of the chairman, and most of them
left for home. There was more harmony
among the magnates to-day than there was
yesterday, chiefly because the League has
resolved to fight any effort there may be
made to plant an opposition team in Gin
cinnati. This means that the dispute will
once more be relegated to the courts.
One of the interesting features of to- days
proceedings was the resolve to establish a
contingency fund, or in other words, a fight
ing fund. This will be done in very salts
factory way. The money will be collected
from the receipts. 1t was decided that each
home team shall take so per cent of the re-
ceipts. che visiting club 40 per cent and 10 per
cent will go to the fund in question, This will
soon make a very large fund.
The work of getting together a good team for
Cincinnati has been left to Messrs. Abel,
O'Neill and Robinson. OF course. Brush will
also have hand in it, but the three first
named will directly represent the League. 1t
is likely that they will try and make arrange
mentS to effect compromise with Al. Johnson:
in fact, that is quite understood here this even
ing, although none oil the magnates would ad-
nit it. 1t is well known that if Johnson can be
"ixed' the Association will be completely
knocked out This fact will induce the League
to treat with him.
There were several Association magnates
about the hotel to-day and they all tried to look
happy, but they failed to prove that their pros
poets were encouraging. They complained
strongly about the League taking their players.
The League magnates are certain that every
thing will go along all right with them Their
surplus players will be handed over to the In
ternational League. President O'Neill, OF Pitts
burg. is sure that he will have pennant win
ming team There is Still some kicking about
the alleged contract jumping" but in argu-
ment Messrs. O'NeilI and Robson, of Cleveland,
have the best of 1t.

SHIPMENTS OF GOLD.

The New Sherman Law That Is Intended to
Deter Them.
WASHINGTON. March 5.-The Treasury De-
partment has already been called upon to
act under the Sherman amendment to
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, authorizing the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to exercise his discretion
in the exchange of gold bars for gold coin, and
also to impose charge for such exchange.
Heretofore the statute regulating this matter
has been construed by the Treasury Depart
ment as against the imposition of 4 charge.
Under the new law the policy of the depart
ment will be to charge cents 500 In value for
all gold bars required for shipment, and if this
fails to deter gold shipments. the question will
then be considered as to the advisability of re-
fusing altogether to exchange gold bars for
shipment thus compelling shippers to use gold
coin or to obtain gold bars from private parties.

THE HENNESsEY TRIAL.
The Prosecutions Testimony All In, and the
Defense Will Begin.

NEW ORLEANS. March 5.-The State closed
the testimony in the Hennessey case this after
noon. Several colored boys testified to the con
fession of the boy Marches that he had been
delegated to watch for Chief Hennessey's
approach. Mrs. Peterson. the owner of the
Monasterio shanty, testified that Jo Macheca
rented the shop from her and gave
the assumed name of Peter John
son. The other residents of the yard
identified Macheca as the party who rented the
cottage, and as visiting Monasterio several
times. The receipt to Peter johnson was
found in Monasterio's pocket after his arrest.
Several witnesses testified to expressions by
Macheca at various times that the fruit dealers
would hold Hennessey responsible if the Pro-
venzanos escaped through his assistance.
There was some other testimony of express
sions of i'll will against Chief Hennessey by
Matrongo and Mecheca On account of the
Provenzano case. The State then closed. The
defense expects to occupy two days with testl-
mony. endeavoring to prove an alibi and char
acters, and two or three days will be consumed
in the argument.
