M'CALL BOUND TO BOSS.
He Is Elected President of the New York
Life ard Absolute Dictator

Life ard Absolute Dictator
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-The managers and
general agents of the New York Life In
surance Company met at the office of the
company to-day. A meeting of the man.
ayers and agents was held subsequent to the
meeting of the directors Wednesday even
ing, at which time committee was ap-
pointed to recommend what steps, if any,
they ought to take. The report of the COM
mittee, it was learned, was favorable to
John A. Mccall. 1t was said that Mr.
Mccall had notified the directors that he
could not accept the Presidency unless ex-
President Beers ceases TO have any connec-
tion with the management, and he also
makes condition that he be presented with
the resignation Of all the present directors
of the company. This is said to mean that
Mr. Mccall is determined to be boss of the
situation.
1t was learned later that subsequent and
second session was held, at which it soon be-
came manifest that all opposition to Mr.
Mccall had disappeared, and that his cleo
tion tomorrow is practically foregone
conclusion. This being the feeling of the
meeting, William H. Appleton, heretofore
a strong supporter of Mr.. Beers, moved
that Mr.. Mccall be the unanimous choice of
the meeting for the Presidency of the New
York Lille Insurance Company. The vote
was unanimous.

rob them of the influence to which they are
entitled. Unless the party can be united,
which seems highly improbable at present.
a Western man will be nominated and New
York completely ignored. Even if Gov
ernor Flower should be nominated it would
not be victory for the New York delega-
tion. If it should be Gormsn, Tammany
might do some Growing, for he is the real
choice of that organization. And speaking
of Governor Flower as a candidate, he has
been talked of great deal here since the
publication of the letter of Senator Vest.
True, there are not few who cry ''rats"
when they hear this talk.

BARON HIRsCH AN IMMIGRANT
He Disguises Himself, Travels Steerage, and
Traps His Commissioners.


SAN Francisco, Feb. III Special. J.
Jacob Danziger, large wheat dealer of
Berlin, now here, is authority for
queer story about Baron Hirsch.
He SAYS Hirsch recently discov-
cred that his agents in New
York were not properly managing the
fund of $4,000 per month devoted to
Hebrew immigrants arriving in New York.
Danziger says:
The baron learned that the commissioners
he had appointed gave no help to immi-
grants, hut pocketed most OF the money
set aside for this benevolent pur-
pose. The baron decided to look
up the truth of charges by
proceeding to New York himself The bet
ter to get at the bottom facts he disguised
himself as poor Hebrew and took steerage
passage across the Atlantic: l was
but realizing that he must have
had some important object to achieve I did
not recognize him by word orlook. When
New York was reached he went
into the dingX pens of Castle Garden
along with Nhe remainder of the
poor Hebrew exiles. Pretty soon the
Commissioners came down and the Baron
Assistance was brusquely refused, and he
was thrown aside by the very
men who were handling his money.
After observing their naughty, ,unscrupulous
behavior for a few days, the Baron quietly
and secretly had them removed from their
positions, and others appointed. He told me
he intended to have them prosecuted before
returning to Europe. He has made the
necessary preliminary arrangements to this
end with the lawyers.

TIE IRISH QUESTION ON DECK.

Both Lords and Commons Discuss That
Phase of the Queens Speech.
LONDON, Feb lin the House OF
Commons to-day Joseph Chamberlain, leader
of the Liberal Unionists, in resuming the
debate on the address in reply to the Queens
speech, twitted the opposition with still
not knowing what home rule scheme
Mr.. Gladstone intended to submit.
Mr.. Morley replied that the Liberals
knew that whatever Mr.. Balfour's pro-
posals were, they were only stepping
stone to a larger and safer measure. The
time would soon come to pass upon the con-
duct of certain members calling themselves
Liberal while denouncing Liberal princi-
pies Cheers. John E. Redmond, in
proposing an amendment for the release of
treason prisoners. repudiated any sympathy
with dynamiters. He vindicated the inno-
cence Of DAILY and Egan.
In the House of Lords to-day the Marquis
of Londonderry asked whether it was true
that John Dillon, William O'Brien and
Timothy Healy, all members of the House
of Commons had at their own request been
accorded police protection. Earl Cadogan
replied that police protection had been ac-
corded to them, but further than that he
declined to say anything The Marquis
of Londonderry reminded the House that
'these persons only recently went about
posing as idols of the Irish people. They had
denounced the executive power in the most
violent language for having them shadowed,
but now they were extremely glad to avail
themselves of shadowing for their own pro-
lection. The Marquis further said that pro-
lection had been conceded to them because
two raging factions existed in ireland who
were breaking each others heads. 1t was
to the interest of Unionists to let English
people understand the Irish parties, in
order that they might realize how absurd
and dangerous it would be to grant the
Irish any measure of home rule that would
place the loyal minority at the tender mer-
cies of such men.

COLLEGE BASEBALL CLUBS.
Meeting To-Day TO Organize Them in Sew
eral Western Cities.

Meeting To-Day TO Organize Them in Sew
eral Western Cities.
CHICAGO, Feb. H-tSpecidL IAN important
meeting of the Western College Baseball
League will be held at Milwaukee to-mor.
row. The results OF last years league were
unsatisfactory, affairs remaining at the end
of the season in an unsettled condition.
The provisions against the playing of pro-
fessionals are lamentably weak, and in the
majority OF cases have been willfully mis-
construed. The University of Minnesota is
anxious for admission to the league and will
probably send delegates to the meeting.
The probabilities are that one of the clubs
will give place to the men from the Gopher
State. A circuit consisting of Minneapolis.
Madison and Evanston, provided it were
doomed and given economical management,
would be productive of the best results.
The meeting of the Western College Foot
ball League will be held at Milwaukee on
Saturday. What colleges will be represented
in the league the coming season can only be
a source of speculation, but the probabilities
are that a change will be made, as Grinnell
and Minneapolis are. both anxious for ad-
mission.

IT MAY BE TRUE.
Report That Sullivan Has Signed Arti-
cles to Fight Peter Maher.

-
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-A private communities
tion, bearing the signature of John L. SulIi-
van, received by personal friend of the
king pin slugger here in Chicago to-day,
states that Sullivan, on February 9, attached
his name 70 articles of agreement to fight to
finish, with fiveounce gloves, Queensbury
rules, with Peter Maher for purse OF $685.
600, before the Metropolitan Club of New
Orleans, and side bet of $40 600, some time
during August next, provided Maher whips
FitZsimmons. Sullivan does not underrate
the Irish boy i'll the least, and says he
thinks he thinks he will do him up in less
than Is minutes.
Sullivan's theatrical engagement expires
next June, and he will go into train
ing Immediately on the expiration thereof
at some point near New Orleans. That the
Metropolitan agents have been exerting
themselves to secure the champions sigma
ture to a set Of conditional articles, to hold
good only in the event that Maher wins
against Fitzsimmons, leaked out to-day,
when the fact became known that the
agent had stuck to Sulivan's side all the
way from the coast to Ogden and Salt Lake.
