BASEBALL BOLT.
Leaders of the Lost Brother
hood Cause Getting Gay.
Working to Organize an Eight
Club League.
THE TINE is RIPE.
Many Players Are Sore at the
National League.
Think the People Would Join
Their Cause.

New York, July 2.-Another attempt
at the life of organized baseball is con-
templated. Conspirators headed by
several of the leaders of the lost broth
erhood cause, O. P CayIor says in the
Herald, have been, and are now, eager
~ working in its efforts to organize an
eight-cIub baseball association in Op-
position to the national league. That
plans for another baseball revolution
have been laid and discussed there IS
no shadow of a doubt.
AL Johnson, known as the Brother
hood orphan" is expected to look to
the Brooklyn corner of the new con-
Germ. He already has a lease on a de-
sirable site for the grounds. The New
York corner of the scheme is much
more bothersOme. The New York club
by its lease of the polo grounds and
Manhattan field, controls every avail
able site for baseball purposes south of
One Hundred and Sixteenth street and
the Harlem river These leases run
till 1900. For the purpose of shutting
out of New York just such Organ1Za-
lions the New York club pays a yearly
rental of ST., 500 for Manhattan field
and only $500 for the polo grounds.
The new projectors have been con-
sidering Jones Wood as a possible site
for their New York club. They argue
that the time is most prOpitiOus in
Philadelphia and Boston for opposition
clubs, and agents in both these cities
have been secretively active during the
last month trying to get lines of organ
izatiOn laid. Baltimore, Chicago, IN
diauapoIis and perhaps Detroit would
complete the league
Pretty much the same tactics are al
ready being used which marked the in
itiatory work of organizing the Play
ers' League. 1t viii be remembered
that copies of scores of national league
kilograms found their way into the
hands of the enemies of the New York
club last week Rusie. Flynn. Pfeffer,
Burke, Tebeau and other martyrs are
to be used as horrible examples of ma
tional league tyranny to stir up pOpu-
lar sentiment for the new rebellion.

MEANS A HOT FIGHT.
Democratic Committee Doesn't Name
Free Silver Man for Temporary

Chicago, July 2.-The executive COM
mittee of the national Democratic con-
vention have decided to recommend to
the full committee that they proceed in
the usual way to designate a man for
temporary chairman Of the national
convention.
It is not yet determined whether the
executive committee will assume the
responsibility of the naming of the man
for this place and that matters is still
under consideration.
The decision to recommend this
course has been arrived at not in de-
fiance of the request of the silver men,
but it is claimed because it is in ac-
cOrdance with the precedents in the
party.
There is no doubt that if the full ma
tiOnal committee accepts the recon-
mendatiOn, it viii result in the precip
itatiOn of a lively skiTmiSh on the floor
of the convention on the threshold
of its proceedings. The silver men are
quite determined upon this point and
show no disposition to yield unless a
pronounced and Well-known silver
man should be named by the national
committee, which there is now reason
to believe will not be the case.
If a gold man is selected, the silver
minority of the national committee
will bring in a report recommending a
silver man and the first contest be
tween the gold and silver forces will
be fought out there and then.

CONFEDERATES' LAST DAY.
Great Crowds to See Beginning of JEFF
Davis Monument.

Richmond Va, July 2.-NeVer before
in its history not even upon the Occa-
sion of the unwilling of the Lee mon
ument in 1890 has Richmond seen such
crowd within her limits, as that
which has assembled here today to wit
ness the laying of the corner stone of
the monument to the memory of JEFF
ferson Davis.
It is the last day of the sixth annual
reunion of the United Confederate Vet
Grams association.
The ROuss memorial hall association
met this morning and a committee was
appointed to obtain charter for or
ganizatiOn. General Jackson of Ala
bama, Gen. Briggs of Kentucky, DR..
league of South Carolina and General
Jackson of Tennessee were appointed
committee to visit New York and con-
fer with Mr.. Rouss and show him the
great opposition in the south to Ioca-
ting the proposed battle abbey in Wash
ingtOn.
In an interview Mrs. Davis expressed
decided opposition to locating the bat
tie abbey in Washington and said it
would be just as appropriate to erect
the monument to Davis in Boston.
The veteran cavalry held a meeting
this morning to take steps towards
erecting monument to Gen. J. E. B.
Stewart. Col. William H. Hemstreet of
Brooklyn made a speech in which he
spoke kindly of the treatment he had
received by veterans and said he
thought they were all true to the Amer
lean flag, but he added, that he was
disappointed to find so few flags of the
Union used by civilians in decorating
their houses.
Lieutenant George P. Hall of Han
ever county Virginia, replied to Colonel
Hempstreet by saying the southern
people do not wear their patriotism on
their coats, but in their hearts: the
south was true as any section to the
Union, and if the president should call
for troops to oppose a foreign foe, the
south would be the first section TO re-
Spond.

PUSHING TELLER AT CHICAGO.
Free Silver Men Getting Encourage
ment From Democrats.

Chicago, July 2.-The Inter-Ocean
prints the following:
Senator Dubois and Congressman
Shafroth and TOWne and Senator Lee
Mantle have been very active confer
ring with the different delegations al
ready here, in the interest of the candi-
dacy of Henry NJ. Teller.
Yesterday afternoon Senator Dubois
was closeted with Senator Blackburn
for considerable time, but he later re-
fused to discuss the matter. The Tel
Ter men were also in conference with
the leaders in other delegations.
Dr.. H. S. Taylor, member of the
POpulist national committee and a man
very close to Chairman Taubeneck, APP
peared at the Sherman House and sta
ted that the POpulists would in all pro-
liability nominate Henry NJ. Teller, but
that they would not take up Bland or
any other man who has been affiliated
with the Democratic party at present.
The Teller men are simply waiting
for something to turn up that will give
their candidate show as q dark horse,
and it is understood have received
much encouragement at the hands of
several delegations, who, while they
could not support Teller at the start,
might go to him in case of an emer-
gency as q compromise candidate.
That bolt will come they feel sure
and that will be their opportunity.
Hon. Chas. S. Thomas and the COlora-
do delegation will reach here Friday
night or Saturday morning and it is
stated will push Teller for all they are

ME TALE COAT.
A Buchanan Street Mystery That At
fords No Clue to Build Theory On.

1ordS N o Glue to Build Theory On
Where is the man who owns the coat
which Mr.. Jacob Leka.nder of 4O4
Buchanan street found e. his front
committed suicide, been murdered, or
IS he unconscious of the fact that he
has lost his coat?
These are questions which the police
would like to have answered. The coat
is now at the police station. From
letters and recommendations found in
the pockets it appears to belong to
Joseph Challand of Lebo, Kan.
When Mr.. Lekander walked out on
his front porch yesterday morning he
found a cutaway frock coat lying on
carefully laid down there. It was
nearly new and of good cloth. He
took the coat into the house and kept
1t there all day, expecting someone to
come for it. AS no one came, Mr..
Lekander took it to the police station
last evening and stated the facts to
Chief of Police Gardiner In the pOck-
cts were some newspaper clippings,
one of which was an editorial probably
from Populist paper. Another clip
ping was a dispatch announcing one
of Prof. t. L. Blake's discoveries.
A letter addressed to superintendent
John Player of the Santa Fe from c. J.
Devlin announced that Mr. Challand
was representing the Painter and
Challand mining machine, and that If
he could help him he (Devlin) would
be glad. You will find Mr.. Challand
perfectly reliable in every way said
Mr.. Devlin.
This letter throws even more nys-
terry on the affair. Mr.. Challand is
recommended as a perfectly reliable
man. The fact that his coat has been
missing since Tuesday night shows one
of two things: Either that he has lost
his coat in a way that might embar-
rass him to claim it, or he has been
foully dealt with. The coat is a, valu-
able one, and the documents in it
must be valuable to Mr.. Challand.

A SAVAGE BLOW
Delivered Against the Republican
Clubs by Cy Leland's Organ.

Troy Chief:
meets at Topeka this week. We do
not know whether Troy will be repre-
scented or not, but there is a feeling
abroad that this aggre CATION has
served its usefulness. Last years ex-
perience was enough to disgust decent
men. Take the Troy club for exam
pie It has over two hundred mem
bars, upon which it is required, in or
der to be in good standing, to pay
about 81 into the treasury of the state
organization, to make up the salary Of
last three or four years, has done
some good work. It was entitled, last
year, to three delegates in the conven-
ton. Just before the meeting of last
years convention a few men about To-
peka, as contemplate a set of shys-
ters as ever disgraced any party, got
up scheme, not to promote the sue
cess of the party, but to down and
to punish Republicans. To this end
they organized in and about Topeka
twenty-five alleged clubs, consisting of
They were frauds of the first water
and were known to be such by the
Squeegees. Each of these clubs elected
four delegates to the state convention,
who were admitted, and by their votes
secured the majority necessary to con-
troll the state convention or league.
These twenty-five clubs contained
fewer members than the Troy club,
hundred in the aggregate, while Troy
had three. Republicans in other parts
of the state may recognize and submit
to such small bore infamy, but such
work is simply a fraul upon the party.
The National League of Republican
Clubs is no better 1t is supposed to
have been organized for the purpose of
aiding the party. The average citizen
will be astOnished to learn how this aid
is furnished. Well, we can tell them
how it was done in the presidential
campaign of 1892 The national league
held up the national committee for $25,-
900. They demanded this amount of the
committee to help them along, and they
received it, while in many states, nOta-
bly, Kansas, the cause was suffering for
want of funds to carry on the cam
paign, which the national committee
was unable to supply. This $4,000 no
doubt went into the pockets of the big
guns who were running the league.
Away with such frauds, say I'VE. The
party is better off without them. The
men who do the hard work do not de-
mand or receive pay for it.

st. Paul, July 2.-score:
RUsIE MUST PAY UP.
National League Directors Decide in
Favor of Freedman.

Pittsburg, July 2.-The action of the
New York club in fining Pitcher Amos
Rusie was sustained at the last meet
ing of the board of directors of the Ma
tiOnaI league.
Colonel J. I. Rogers represented the
New York club and John NJ. Ward
represented Rusie. Colonel Rogers made
serious charges against Rusie; they
were numerous and ugly.
Mr.. Ward maintained that there was
no legal case against the pitcher. He
pointed out that the fines were Illegally
imposed and directly contrary to the
contract signed by Rusie. Mr.. Ward
said that the contract in its third sec
ton provides that a player shall be
disciplined; but further on that con-
tract provides that no fine shall ex-
coed $50. This condition, Mr.. Ward,
contended had been directly violated
by the New York club, as Rusfe had
been fined 800 in the very first in
stance. Each side was given half an
hour to reply to the other and an ad-
ditionaI ten minutes to Mr. Ward to
make a rejoinder to Colonel Rogers,

CLOUDY, HOT AND SULTRY
Might Mean Cyclones but Mr.. Jen-
nings Says Cyclone Season is Over.

Cloudy, hot and sultry, the thermom-
eter registering 81 at o'clock, the wind
blowing but nine miles an hour, this
is the story of today's weather. The
conditions might be supposed to be fav-
orable to cyclones, but Mr.. Jennings
says that the cyclone season is over.
The rainfall in Topeka this morning
amounted to but O4 of an inch.
Considering the indicati and the
weather bureaus prediction it would
not be surprising if further showers fell
this afternoon. The prediction states
that it will remain part cloudy and
showery this afternoon, and that to-
morrow will be cooler and fair.
Throughout the state today the
weather is reported cloudy, the tenn
perature ranging from 80 to 60 IN the
the eastern and central portions of the
state and in Oklahoma light showers
fell last night and this morning.
In Colorado and New Mexico the
weather is today reported generally
clear and warm, and in Texas part
cloudy and warm.
