The Powers.
Paris, Dec. 24.-The Temps, CON-
menting on the Spanish-American
question, says that serious consequen-
ces may result from the ability Of the
American Congress to override the
veto Of the president. If the Con
gress persists in its apparent intention
the president will be compelled to de-
clare it, and it may become equivalent
to declaration Of war.
The paper adds that It is strongly
probable that good sense will triumph,
although there is serious risk that the
aggressive sol distant patriots will
prevail.
La Liberte says that IL the Cubans
are recognized in guarded language by
the United States 1t will merely
amount to a declaration Of neutrality.
In the event Of war, the paper fuH-
Their says, Spain can only count on
herself, as none Of the powers are
likely to help her.

Work OF Raising Money For A Base

ball Club To Begin Monday.
A letter was received from Mike
O'Connor this morning, in which he
says he is considering several other
offers, but will wait for San AnotniO
a little while longer. His terms are
very satisfactory and arrangements
will be made to have him come at
once and start the ball rolling.
Work will be begun next Monday
in raising the money for a team. Two
thousand tickets will be put out at 80
cents each and will entitle the purcha-
ser to one admission. The movers
in this cause hope to dispose Of these
tickets in short time, as they are
doing this merely for the love Of the
game, so that San Antonio will have
a good ball team next summer.
IT Is understood that Mr.. Weiss will
begin work on a park just as soon as
it is settled that San Antonio will
have team.

THE BIG BALL
Following the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley.

toilowing the Inauguration OF Presi-
dent Mckinley.
Washington, Dec. 24.-The inaugural
committee has fairly got down to
work, and preparations for the inaug-
uration ceremonies of March 4th next
are being rapidly completed. Nearly
all of the numerous committees have
been organized and the details of the
work are being Systematically arrang-
ed and apportioned.
The general committee has decided
that the inaugural ball is to be held
in the great hall Of the pension build
ing, although many Of the members
of the committee, including Chairman
Hanna, were in favor of having the
ball in the magnificent new library
building, which will be fully complete
ed before that date. 1t was feared
that the library building-one of the
handsomest in the world-might be
damaged by so large a crowd as is ex
pected, and the building not being
very well adapted for the purpose on
account or the size OF the rooms and
corridors, this plan was abandoned by
an almost unanimous vote. The i'm
mense court of the pension building
with its hundreds of adjoining rooms,
is admirably suited for such gath
ering, and has given splendid satisfac-
ton heretofore, and undoubtedly
will do so again. 1t is central in To-
cation and is capable of brilliant dec
oratiOns.
Railroad rates have been fixed at
one fare for the round trip from all
points as far as Buffalo and as far
west as Peoria, ILL.,, and st. Louis.
Similar rates will probably be made
from points further west and south.
The arrangements contemplate the lar
gest number of visitors ever came
to Washington upon like occasion.

THE OUTLOOK AT CHICAGO.

The prominence of Mr.. William c.

at this time unusual importance. as fore
shadowing coming events at Chicago, and
the possibility not to say probability OF
nominating free silver man, on a free
coinage platform.

United Press on Saturday last, and as
will be seen by the following colloquy his
views of Democratic prospects are rather

GLOW is the campaign getting on?'
asked the reporter.
Like 1860, the truth must be told,
Mr.. Whitney replied.
"What are the chances of sound money
in Chicago?"
"Unless the situation changes and our
Southern and Western friends are disposed
to reason with us, no chance whatever"
what do you hear from the South and
West?'
Judging by the letters | receive there

''If free coinage candidate is nominated

Practically it will disrupt the Demo-

coerce or persuade sound money Democrats
to forsake the fundamental principle of
democracy. They do not regard this ques-
ton as either factional, sectional or
political. The maintenance of national
credit is matter Of national honor. The
Saratoga platform emphasizes this fact. 1t

Tie Maryland delegation to the Demo-

He gave his proxy as member of the Nat

The delegation selected Senator German
as Maryland's member of the National

the outlook, and the seventeen sound
