The Baseball Season.

Tho National League baseball sea-
son opened yesterday and will stay
open until the first day of October.
The competing clubs this year are
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, WASH
ington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Louis
vile, St Louis and Chicago. In each
of these cities moro interest is said to
have manifested itself In baseball than
In several years, and IL the amount of
space devoted to the subject by the
local press is any criterion we should
say the statement is true. As to the
relative strength of the teams there
are as many opinions as there are
baseball cranks, and the name of these
cranks Is legion. Boston thinks she
has the pennant almost within her
grasp already, she has greatly
strengthened herself where she fell
down last year-the pitchers depart
ment. She has seven or eight pitchers
engaged, but most of them are new
and unknown to fame The champion
Baltimores will play practically the
same men as last year, with the addi-
ton of two or three "phenomenals"
who are to be tried in the box The
New York club will be under new
management and to some extent will
be an experiment all around.
The Philadelphia are conceded to
be an amazingly strong aggregation,
particularly In batting Unquestion-
ably they are the heaviest hitters in
the league. Last year they encoun-
tered hard luck in one form or an
other, principally in injuries to play
ers, from beginning to end, yet they
finished fourth The Brooklyns are
ranked as dark horses The Chicagos
have enjoyed several weeks of prac-
tice in Texas, but are said to be weak
In pitchers. Washington and Louis
vile have both been strengthened, so
1t is said, but as in the past neither is
looked upon as at al dangerous Pitts
burg has a good team. The ST. Louis
club is an unknown factor, 1t has
some young blood which, it is said,
is going to surprise people Gin
cinnati has engaged Buck Ewing, who
will try to infuse new life into a num-
Der of old and tried players Cleveland
Is pretty strong in every respect save
in pitchers
1t will be remembered that at the
opening Of the season last year no.
body suspected that Baltimore would
show up as high as even fifth. Itmay be
that 1895 has more surprises on hand.
AT any rate the battle has begun and
the cranks have the floor.

Converts By the Thousand.

The more sagacious and far-seeing
of the gold monometallists are now
outspoken In their expressions of dis
may and alarm at the amazingly rapid
growth of silver sentiment They are
crying for some Moses to appear
among them and write an answer to
"Coin's Financial School," the success
OF which is reaching phenomenal pro-
portions. 1t appears that some clever
goldbugs are trying to counteract its
influence by inducing the manufac-
turers of boiler plate" to run off a
quantity Of anti-silver arguments In
that cheap substitute for printers
wages, and IL is said that many patent
inside newspapers in the West and
South have already been caught. Pub
fishers of newspapers who use boiler
plate are requested carefully to in
spect every consignment of their ready
made goods hereafter, and to sharpen
up their tools il not their wits II a
newspaper must be edited with saw
and an axe, let the work be done well.
In letter published few days ago
from General Passenger Agent Blu
chanan TO Secretary of Agricu lture
Morton, the writer expressed regret
that the extent of the silver sentiment
is not appreciated in the great eastern
centers "Coin's Financial School

The Copper Market.

The firmness In the copper market continues,
and trade has again been very active. Early In
the week lake copper sold at $9.45 and then at
$780, az which prices there are now no longer
any sellers. ana 1t is reported that for small
quantities csc has been paid, but this latter
price cannot yet be called the market. Makers
Of electrolytlc copper have becoms very stiff.
and are asking considerable advance. 1t
Is very doubtful II anything can be procured
below 9Sc. We may mention here that our
quotations for electrolytc copper are always TO
be understood for either cakes, wire bars or in
gots, at buyers option. We have sometl mes
been asked to quote also for catholics, but as
there is no regular market for home trade, no
actual quotations are obtainable. However, it
will serve all purposes II there Is deduction
made OF NC per pound, this Representing the
cost of smelling and handling, together with the
necessary losses In the metal. Casting copper
has been neglected, but Is also somewhat
stronger. and Is now quoted at 90. The exports
OF copper are again very large, and are likely
to continue so for some time TO come.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10. 1895.

The funeral of James w. Scott In
Chicago yesterday is reported to have
been one of the largest ever seen in
that city. No one will wonder at 1t.
Scott was type Of Chicago's most
active, pushing, enterprising men. 1t
is pity that he could not have lived
a few years longer to realize his dream
of building up the most magnificent
newspaper property in America. The
recentpurchase Of the Times and its con.
solidation with the Herald was step
inthat direction. Scott had achieved
astonishing success in developing the
Herald, success that was as great as
1t was deserved.

is growing here that President Zelaya Of

of the state of the relations between Great
Britain and his own country in assuming
that the former has decided to desist from
carrying out her ultimatum to Nicaragua
and that she will agree to allow the claim
for indemnity to go to arbitration.

didn't want to take a hand in the fight,
at the same time passing the revolver
to Wardo.
Wardo went to Yerkely. N. Y, and
worked in a sewer trench. The con-
tract was finished a short time ago;

termined to come back to the coal fields.
