more Looking to 1898.
AT a meeting of representative horse
men, athletes and cyclers held yesterday
afternoon in the rooms of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association in RaI
tirnore a plan was proposed for holding
a carnival of sports in that city in 1895
Those present included President Cole
OF the baltimore Athletic Club. President
Morton of the Ariel Rowing Club, Chief
Consul Conway w. Sans of the Maryland
Division. League of American Wheelmen.
James Malone of the Baltimore Shooting
Association ana A. Fenneman of Eiectri
Park.
An elaborate and thoroughly exhaustive
proposition was submitted and favoral.ly
received. In substance it WIS hat the
carnival should in a way lake The place of
the formerly proposed exposition. The
first step toward the holding Of the car
nival will be uniting of .he business
athletic and horse interests of the city,
and the appointing of proper committees
to carry out the plans. The principal idea
is to build the much-talked-of boulevard
out the PiInlico road. and to nave it ter
minatc at or near a stadium, where most
elaborate Preparations could be made for
the accommDdation of the thousands of
spectators who would turn out for con-
tests so famorIS. It was pointed out chat
the athletic conditions of the country were
in a position favorable to having all the
great national events of the athletes held
at Baltimore during the carnival.
Such events Of national Importance might
be secured as the great ..nnIal meet Of the
League of American Wheelmen. the cham
pionship regatta of the National Associa-
ton Amateur Oarsman and the field meet
ing Of the Amateur Athletic Union.

10 the Ealt0r OF Ihe Evening star:
In view of the fact that there are many
consumptives ip this city, and. according
to physicians reports tuberculosis is on the
increase, 1 would suggest that the victims
of this malady form some kind Of an or
ganization. whereby they can receive mu-
tual benefit by communicating to each
other any Information that may be of value
in treating this affection. Much benefit
may be derived from culling out the ineffi-
cient remedies and discarding resorts whose
climate is not beneficial; and adopting in
stead the remedies and hygienic measures
that have proven Of benefit to a majority
of the patients.
The victims Of hay fever who annually
congregate in the White mountains have
formed such ar organization. and are mu-
tually benefited by 1t. The graduates" of
the Keeley curt claim to derive much ben
eft from their powerful organization. Why
cannot the victims of tuberculosis be
equally benefited by an organization of
their own. that In numbers would exceed
that of any other organization of physical
sufferers? Would like to hear from others
upon this subject. H. R. c.

REC ALL OF MEN Ll:R.
Ii Was Prevented Only by the Death
of Nncea.

A dispatch TO the New York World from
Madrid says:
Antonio Maceo's death happened most
fortunately for Gen. Weyler. Premier Ca
noras and the minister of war We're so in
dignant when they heard that Gen. Maceo
had crossed the trocha and entered Tia
vana province by land that they had de
termined to recall Gen. weyler and send
Captain General Marin from Porto Rico.
1t Is an open secret in political military
and diplomatic circles here that anyhow
Gen. Weyier will only be allowed to remain
in Cuba If he promptly and signaily crushes
the inSurrection in Havana and Pinar del
Ria provinces and puts stop to the abuses
corruption and eNtrayagant waste in the
commissariat and army contracts. TO which
the government has called his attention
sharply.
He has been warned also that he mu t
satisfy those planters who ask TO he per
mitted to resume work on sugar and to-
bacco plantations and to avoid giving
grounds by his seventies for such claims
for damages as not only America but Eng
gland, France and Germany are pressing.
Gen. Weyler seems TO be aware that he is
losing favor in Spain with the public. with
the government. and even more al court
He is trying to create an impression that
the Spanish parties in Cuba are not dis
satisfied with his military and political con-
duct, rs are the press and people at home
Premier CanoyaS feels bound to perse-
we're in his war and repression policy with
out making any except officious and unoffi-
cial oyertureS TO the United States govern
ment as long as Gen. Weyler and the Span
ish parties in Cuba hold out a hope of early
results from the effects of Maceo's death
upon the Insurgents. But the patience of
the rest of the government and the nation
Is well nigh exhausted.
If nothing decisive occurs in Cuba hy The
middle OF January Premier Canovas most
likely will recall Gen. Weyler and appoint
IN MS place either Gen. Marin or Senor de
AZcarraga. the minister of war. and then
change his policy in Cuba. with view to
coming TO an understanding with the United
States government before the close of Pres
ident Cleveiand's term of office
1he queen regent would welcome any
honorable solution of the problem compat-
ibie with Spain's rights i'm Cuba I'm order
10 avert a conflict or even a misunderstand-
ing with The United States. Therefore Pre-
mler Canovas may be spurred up TO chang
ing MS policy. and especially as he knows
that the liberal party is willing TO take Of
1ce for that purpose if the queen bids IL TO
do so.
