stimmcii tx Coming Back Again.

News has been received from Stimmell.
He is recovering from mis- indisposition.
and Will rejoin the Richmond team at
Philadelphia on Monday.
Lucid came here yesterday 10 witness
management but he was not signed.
What is the matter with Chambers?
The cranks want to see him pitch. 1t
would be a good idea TO try him in to-
days game.
Clausen has signed with Lancaster. and
will join that club in Norfolk to-day.
The Reading team is badly crippled, and
it would seem that it is on its last legs.
The uniforms of the men are shabby,
and the general makeup would indicate
that the club is on the decline.
Long will not agree TO a double-header
for Saturday. He doesn't think he can
beat Richmond, and for once in his life
Denny is right.
Newark is still in the lead. Lancaster
doesn't propose to die without struggle,
though. After Norfolk had a lead of
seven runs. Ward and his lads won out.
Richmond has at last hit the 500 notch.
She will give the leaders a chase very
soon. Look out for the Johnnies. They
are coming up.
Brandt is still in the city. He has not
signed with Norfolk yet, and he may not
do so.
Readings shortstop is the best seen
here this season. He goes after every
thing and he gets what he goes after

HARRlsoN,s DAUGHTER.
Many Congratulations For the Ex-Presi.
dent and His Wife.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 22.--At $3.50 yester-
day morning ex-President Harrison heard
the first cry of little daughter who had
just opened her eyes upon a strange world
as she was handed to the nurse by DR..
Henry Jameson, the attending physician.
The babe was perfect in form and feature
and weighed 81 pounds.
- Is it a boy" asked General Harrison.
No, it is a girl, y replied the doctor
Mrs. Harrison's splendid health and
courage carried her bravely through her
ordeal There were present besides the
doctor Mrs. Barmuth, the nurse and Mrs.
Parker, the devoted sister Of Mrs. Har
rison. After the babe had been dressed the
general asked to see her again. The little
one set up a lusty cry when the father
handed her back to the nurse. 1t has been
nearly two score years since he had a SINH
lar experience. The neighbors and init
mate friends of the family were early ap-
prised of what had occurred, and many
called to congratulate the parents The
new arrival, however, was seen by few.
Her wardrobe, it is believed, is the hand
semest ever provided for babe born in
this city She favors the Harrisons in ap-
pearance and promises to be of the bru-
nette type Many kilograms of congratu-
lation were received in the course of the
day ut the Harrison home.

NEW YORK, Feb. a3-The Herald this
morning prints the following from its Ha-
yana correspondent sent by way of Key
West:
Consul General Lee has resigned. His
letter rendering his resignation under GER
tain conditions goes by the next mail. He
determined some days ago to take such
step if he were not upheld in his efforts to
protect all American citizens in Cuba.
The consul general asked the state de-
partment that he be authorized to demand
the release of citizens of the United States
confined in Cuban prisons under the same
illegal circumstances as was the i'll fated
Ruiz. Such authorization has not been
granted him.
Spanish warships in Cuban waters have
since Sunday been concentrating in the
harbor of Havana. This is regarded here
as very significant, in view of the impor-
tant incidents of the last few days.
Great anxiety is felt at the palace and
in all official circles at the news from Cien-
fuegos, which states that that city is the
center of serious lnutiny of the Spanish
troops Large arrears of pay are due the

that they were unable to negotiate with

sand civilians and $50 Turkish troops,
with three guns, are still holding Selino

passeng gers from Honolulu on the Austria
liza was Attorney General Smith, who will
proceed at once to Washington to confer
with Minister Hatch ON annexation ques-

Lorrin A. Thurston, formerly Hawaiian
minister to the United States will accom-
pany Mr.. Smith to Washington.
II go to Washington in the sole interest
of annexation, said Attorney General
Smith Gable propositions or any other
issue will be relegated to the rear. The
cabinet has deemed it necessary, from the
recent adyices from Mr.. Hatch, to have d
representative of the Hawaiian republic in
Washington with power to act.
Matters which are of vital Importance
to the islands will probably come up dur

to act for this government A great deal
of valuable time can be saved i'll this way.

outlaws In indian Territory.

MUsKoGEE, /. t., Feb. 22.-News has
been received at the marshal's office here
of an attempt to hold up a train on the
Iron Mountain road at Watova. When the
north bound accommodation train took
the siding at Watova, two masked men en-
tered the coach and compelled Conductor
Wallace to hand over the few dollars he
carried. At this juncture the regular pas
senger train pulled in. 1t had been the in
tention of the robbers apparently to hold
UP this train, but the alarm had been
given, and a crowd of armed citizens gath
cred so quickly that the outlaws sought
safety in flight
