Superior Points Of the Chicago Marine Band.

This band is one Of the most capable
and uniformly good quality throughout
of any in America. 1t is impossible to
get any large number of wind instru-
ments absolutely perfect in tune, but
this band is said to be nearer perfec-
ton in this respect than any other and
more evenly balanced. The clarinet
section Conductor Brooke claims is
without an equal on this continent
This has been very generally acknowl-
edged by critics and musicians. The
oboe player. Mr.. DeVaux, Is very fine
artist, and during the winter. by per-
mission. he has played with the Pitts
burgh Symphony orchestra. This Is
very prominent instrument in a fins
band, ard one where excellence or the
reverse is very noticeable. The
French horn soloist Is Henry Koch OF
Philadelphia. He is fine artist. ana
plays often with Damrosch. Seidl. Ar
diti, &c. He has been with all the bes;
bands at times. but declares his prefer.
ence for Brooke as the most effectiv,
leader and the band as one he Il
proud to be identified with. The sole
ccrnet player, j. p. Llewellyn, is re-
garded by many as the best in his line
tor routine work in the first chair of
the brass section. Mr.. Tackle and MIR.
Seavey are unexcelled tuba players fci
both technic and tone. The drummers
are both remarkable in their line and
famous, Mr. Mills being called the hes;
in America, and a wonderful xylophone
player as well. The trombone soloist,
who is new man TO fame. it is
claimed. will create sensation with
his wonderful technic. tone and phras-
ing. This great organization will give
two grand concerts at City hall next
Tuesday afternoon and evening.

One of the business men. who has

fisherman. Not being able to attend to

the river all at the same time. he has
arranged the flag signal system SO
that from the rear windows of his Of
flee he can see whether all Is well or
not Thus it was that his friends con-
ceived to play an unkind deceit upon
him. After leaving his lines all right,
he went back to his store. There one
of the conspirators engaged his atten-
ton in the front part of the store for
several minutes. In the meanwhile an
other put package of chewing gum
on the end of line, and tipped up the
flag. When all was ready, the fisher
man went to his rear window. Then
he saw his flag was up. and made
across the ice to the spot with great
speed. His friends all along the water
front watched him with glee; and saw
him pull in the line, and all that fol-
lowed. AS he returned to his office,
there, in many window, was grin
ring face, and his friends are asking
him If the fish are chewing gum now

COMING BIG PRIZE FIGHT.
Brady Offers to " ager al, 900 Fitzsimmons
win Not Enter the Ring.

New York, Feb 9.-While Corbett is
SLOWLY making his way toward Nevada
Fitzsimmons has as yet made no def
mite plans for beginning his journey
west. He may start tomorrow and
he may not leave this city until the
latter part of the week. Fitzsimmons,
like Corbett, will try to make few
shekels on the way. Martin Julian Will
arrange to have Fitzsimmons stop at
several large cities to give exhibitions.
Julian will then leave for Carson City
to secure good training quarters. Three
towns have offered good inducements.
While Fitzsimmons is taking exercise
every day he has not done any real
training as yet. He claims ten days
will be all that is necessary to put him
in good shape. He seems nearly fit to
enter a ring now. He intended to do
heavy work yesterday, but Ernest
Roeber, with whom the New zealander
wrestles, did not show up and so Fitz-
simmons had to be contented with his
ten-mile run. run down and a bout
with his dog. Just what Fitz weighs
are very careful not to make public
nor to discuss these subjects. He
doubtless is heavier than usual.
Fitzsimmons asserts that 'Billy"
Brady is simply blufiing when he Of

III cover his $1,000 whenever he
wants to put it up" said the Austria
lian. BRADY need not think that he
will have to pay me to get into the
ring with Corbett, like he did Mitchell.
Corbett's fight with Mitchell was a
fake, pure and simple. The latter said
he would not fight Corbett until he
was paid so Brady put up the thousand.
I'm willing to go on record as saying
that"
Nevertheless Brady positively de-
clares he will bet that F'itz does not
go into the ring.

has many other objections. He pro-
poses to speak until he has thoroughly
impressed upon the senate his ideas and
will not be hurried, despite Mr., Sher-
mans appeal for action.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Bacon of Georgia, after consultation
with other senators, providing for
modification Of the article relating to
claims so as to exempt bonds issued
by the southern states during the re-
construction period. 1t was feared
that under the general treaty an effort
might be made to collect these repu-
dated obligations. Another amend
ment was offered which seeks, to meet
the criticism that the treaty gives the
president sole power in the premises.
II provides that all subjects of arbi-
tration before being sent to the tribun-
al established by the treaty must first
be submitted to the president and SEN
ate. All these amendments will lead to
much discussion.
There will be no secret session to-
morrow, owing to the count of the
electoral vote. Thursday Mr.. Lodge
expects to call up the conference report
on the immigration bill and no further
debate can be had on the convention
until Friday.

NAVAL OFFICERS SILENT.
Nothing More Can be Learned of the In
juries to Admiral Bunce's Fleet.


Charleston, S. c., Feb. 9.-This morn
ing. a gig came ashore from the United
State cruiser Marblehead, which is
lying few hundred feet off the South
ern wharf. The gig was in command Of
Passed Assistant Surgeon Wentworth
and it carried the seamen who We're
injured on the ship during the passage
down the coast Ambulances conveyed
the wounded men to the marine hospi-
tai of the city. All of the injured men
We're given the best of attention and
placed in comfortable quarters. They
are doing well and will be able to re-
join their ships before the blockade is
over.
The transport Fern came up to the
city at 10 o'clock this morning for mail
and supplies and, receiving them, re-
turned to the lightship off which the
squadron is lying in the position which
it occupied last night. All the vessels
are busy getting to rights and it is not
probable that any attempt at manoeuv-
ring will be made before tomorrow or
later.
All efforts made by newspaper cor
respondents to board the Wafshlps OIL
Charleston bar to-day were futile.
Early this morning some signalling was
done from the flagship New York, and
in consequence the ships began to move
from the north to the south OF the
harbor. 1t is supposed here that the
ships have taken their new stations
with a view Of effectually guarding the
south entrance to the harbor, and that
future arrivals will be placed to the
north. Efforts to get detailed state
ments Of the injuries done the ships
during the storm are thus Ear IN
availing. The Marblehead when up TO
the city gave little evidence OF injury.
Her superstructure was battered some
what. but as one stood upon her deck
she looked little the worse for wear.

Important Move Made by Eastern Rail-
roads With Chicago Terminals.


roads With Chicago Terminals.
Chicago, Feb. 9.-By authority of the
board of managers of the Joint Traffic
association of Chicago composed of all
eastern roads having Chicago terminals
notice was issued to-day Of new rates
on wool, the schedule including all
important cities Of the east. The new
tariff almost cuts the old one in two
the following being samples of the re-
duction:
Boston, II cents to A cents; New
York, S. to &c., Philadelphia, 62 TO ~;
Baltimore, 81 to Sc; Buffalo, 80 to 231h.
These rates are for carload lots of
a minimum capacity of 10000 pounds,
and a penalty of 81 a car is added for
each day the car is left unloaded. af-
ter forty-eight hours shipment. This
sweeping reduction indicates the de-
sire of the board of managers to pro-
tect their own roads against competi-
ton as well as the Western Association
roads.
When the wool crop of the northwest
was being moved last spring the 500
line and Canadian Pacific by making
low rates secured a practical monopoly
OF the shipments from st. Paul to the
Atlantic seaboard via Canada. The
Chicago-St. Paul roads vainly protest
ed and appealed to the Joint Traffic
association to join them in meeting the
Canadian competition, but the policy
of the managers was against such CO.
operation.

MATE BRAIN MUST DIE.
Motion for New Trial Denied by the
United States Court.

Motion for New Trial Denled py inc
United States Court.
Boston. Feb. 9.-The first motion for
a new trial made by counsel Tor
Thomas Bran, convicted Of the murder
of Captain Nash, was denied this after
noon by the United States court. The
court SAYS: "The verdict was right and
no intelligent jury could have arrived
at a different decision.
Bran was brought into the United
States circuit this afternoon before
Judges Colt and Webb. The occasion
was unlike his previous appearance be-
fore the court. 1t was the deciding
hour as to whether all the previous
steps and conclusions of his trial should
go for naught, be obliterated or should
stand as valid, with the awful conse-
quence to arise out Of his conviction OF
the murder of Captain Nash on high
seas. The crowd was thin in compari-
son with that in attendance at the pre-
vious hearings Bran was brought up
from Charles street Jail and arrived in
the marshaps office at 2 p. m. He was
led into the court room at 2:30 o'clock,
the hour fixed for rendering the deci-
sion. The judges took their places on
the bench punctually and counsel were
also prompt to arrive.
The decision was read by the court.
1T was an exhaustive treatise Of the
grounds, the evidence and the legal
authorities bearing upon the motion for
new trial. 1t was sixteen type-writ-
ten pages in length. Judge Colt read
the decision. Bram's personal appear
ance was much the same as during the
trial except there was perhaps slight
ly increased pallor. There was the
same cool outwardness and when the
handouts were removed he assumed
the attitude which became so familiar
weeks ago While waiting for the
court he held whispering consultation
with Counsel Cotter.
Judge Colt in rendering the decision,
took up the motion by its various con-
tentions, dwelling first upon the claim
that some of the jurors were disquali-
fled because of pre-judgments and pre-
vious expression Of opinion. He said an
impartial jury is always essential and
it is the first duty of the court to de-
termine such impartiality. In this case
every juror was carefully examined, all
objections were heard, all challenges
determined and the court does not
think that the evidence shows any pre-
judgment or any disqualification on the
part of any juror
