LATEST ABOUT FARRELL.
Washington's Favorite Catcher Reported
as Determined to Report Here

as Determined to Report Here.
According to the latest report Catcher
Charley Farrell will reach Washington in ad-
vance of Coxey's army, as he is said to have
started for this city from Boston. His course
is due to the failure to come to terms with
the New York club, and he intends reporting
to Manager Schemlz for duty. The latter
said yesterday that Farrell belonged to New
York and had no claim on the Washington
club. Manager Ward, of the New York club,
was quoted in yesterdays New York papers
as saying the chaLces OF the deal for Meekin
and Farrell would be declared Off
As President Young holds the purchase
money there may be lively conflict between
New YORK and Washington over its DISPOSE
ton. Mr.. Schmelz says there can be no
question about Washington's hold on Nc
Mahon and Petty, who have been regularly
signed by the local club. Farrell and Mcekin
have both been formally transferred to New
York. and the same has been officially proved
But the money is dependent on both the lat
ter players signing with New York and an
interesting complication Is presented.
If the League should decide to call the deal
or it will be greatly 10 the advantage of the
local team as far as playing strength is con-
cerned, although the Wagners will be out
some ready money. As the latter considera-
ton does not cut any figure with the public
there is general hope that Farrell and Nee
kin will return here. In the opinion of many
of the regular patrons the Wagners would be
financially gamers in the end, as the presence
OF this fayorite battery with the team would
result in larger crowds and more gate money.

missed his first three birds, and NJ. NJ. Lind
say did the same. and when the twelfth round

BEARS WERE PUZZLED.
Market Stronger and Firmer and Offerings
Readily Taken.


NEW YORK, April 5.-There was strong
under tone to the stock market all day which
seemed to puzzle the professional sellers. At
intervals bear raids were made, which met
with such ready absorption of the stocks
offered for sale as to quickly check the order
OF the shorts. As the day advanced without
the discovery of any particularly weak spots
in the market there was considerable cover
ing done, which materially assisted in the ap-
probation OF values which was established,
and which ranged from Il to24 in the active
list. while Interior Conduit rose 80 and Edi-
son Electric, with which it is allied, 2l% per
cent Sugar led in the advance and was one
of the most active stocks in the transactions.
The buying in the shares was mostly done
through brokers who have been frequently
used by the sugar pool. but no indication was
given of the motive OF the purchasing move
ment
The rise was made, too. in the face of re-
ports that another decline in the price of re-
fined sugar is imminent. which will cut down
the margin OF profit in refining 10 minimum.
General Electric, which broke yesterday on
the unfavorable showing in the report for
1893, sold up 20 per cent. on covering, in
duced by the firmness OF the general market
There were no particularly cheerful develop
ments in the shares. and when the shorts had
made their purchases reaction of Is per cent.

most firmly held stocks on the list, but ex-

recovery of 1% followed in the late afternoon
by reaction of = and a final rally of 1S per

Want to Hear Rate Field Again.

Washington knew Kate Field before she de-
livered her recent course of lectures, but it is
safe to say that it knows her better and is
prouder of her now than ever. Added TO
charming versatility of thought and express
sion is her power as logical reasoner
about views which are in general quite cor
rect. Miss Field will again meet Washington
at Metzrott's next Tuesday night and will
again speak on 'The Intemperance of Pro-
hibition." Miss Fields unique position on
the question Of prohibition is the result of
much thought and study and a keen observa-
ton of the workings of prohibition in various
parts Of the United States. For long while
she hesitated uttering her conclusions, but
aftei consulting some OF the foremost men in
the country the result was her lecture.

NEw YORK, April 5.-James Gordon Ben

Belmont. treasurer of the syndicate that
built the yacht:
''The yacht has not been scld," he said,
"hut negotiations are now pending with Mr..
Bennett. In case Mr.. Bennett buys the yacht
it is understood that he will take her across
the ocean and race her at Nice in the three
days regatta next year. 1t is probable also
that the NiGilant and Valkyrie would meet in

Dunrayen that his craft would be the better
one in the stifI breezes always prevailing on
English yachting courses. 1t is reported that
the price asked for the yacht is $4,000

expected to call meeting of the committee
