Won DER AHE HANGS ON.
He May Retain Control OF the St
Louis Club.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. Nothing new has
developed in the base ball situation today.
President Won der Abe has stated tonight
that he had not closed a deal with anybody,
and thought there was a god chance of him
still remaining in control during the coming
season. Messrs. Brush. Schmidt and Talbot
left the st. Nicholas hotel night before last,
and just where they now is a conjecture.
It is known they purchased tickets to Chicago
but it is now claimed they are still in st.
Louis in hiding. 1t is generally rumored that
Brush proposes to financially assist Won der
Abe out of his present dilemma and not con-
summate the purchase originally intended.
The rumor is based on the generally accepted
fact that Brush has offered S65, 900 for the
club. while the local syndicate has offered
$S5 coo and both offers have been refused by
Won der Abe.

Fuss and Feathers.

have crepe on their sleeves
in token OF their sorrow over the
humiliating experience OF two crack"
regiments-the Seventh, of New York.
and the Thirteenth. of Brooklyn. Both
are I'm disgrace-the Thirteenth, In par
tlcular, made a ridiculous exhibition
of Itself. The Seventh showed the
white feather, but the Thirteenth put
itself in such relation to the military
establishment that Governor Black
promptly dismissed IL from the service.
These regiments proposed to answer
the presidents call for troops and en-
list as volunteers. but they laid down
a lot OF specifications and details and
reservations and conditions. They
were to be kept intact, they were to
have their present officers. they were
to have their say-in short they were
to be a privileged people and a mill
tary law TO themselves. These men
had the right enjoyed by all members
Of the militia. II was their option to
enlist or not. But there were fuss and
feathers, and Observation-Disclosures and
trouble until Governor Black became
disgusted with the outfits. and they
step aside to make room for good men
who are ready and willing to serve
without asking toe many questions
and TOO many favors. II was talked,
early this week. that the Thirteenth
could go TO law and resist Governor
Blacks sweeping orders. 1t now APP
pears, however. that the law is per-
fectly clear and that the governors
orders cannot be resisted.

Mr.. Polo and Suite.

~ FTER repeated postponements,
n Mr.. y Polo was due to cave
Canada yesterday on his return
trip to Spain. He was to have gone
many days ago, but he fingered n
fingered: he appears to have been I'M
duly absorbed in his study of Cana
dian life and manners and institutions.
1t was Mr.. Polo's right to tarry In Can
ada: but the propriety of this course
Is open TO debate. Several ugly incl
dents have happened since the war be-
gan which plainly show the secret do
ings Of Spanish emissaries in the Unit
ed States-the suspicion has already
broadened into a w~ell-founded belief
that Mr.. Polo and his assistants estab-
lished themselves near our border In
order that they might be directly in
the management of a lot of nefarious
schemes. The case of Downing is in
point; he is the spy who was recently
trapped and whose suicide. announced
a few hours ago, was of itself a con-
fession that he was guilty as charged.
Downing, whose intercepted letter con-
tanned military information, was
traced direct to Washington from the
of Lieutenant Carranza, who
is an attache of the Spanish legation
that had Polo as It chief. Carranza is
the fellow who wanted to fight a duel
with Fitzhugh Lee or with Captain
Sigsbee or with almost anybody.
Another member of the legation,
hich has its headquarters anywhere

Bose. He has been delivering lectures
in Canada. his aim being to prove to
the Canadians that Spain is all right,
that Madrid has been tenderly consid-
crate of Cuba. that the autonomy
which Il was proposed to bestow on the
island was, for all the world, the coun-
terpart of the administration with
which Great Britain favors canada.

The Traus.siberian Railway.

Mr.. Clarence Cary in the May Forum.
Interminable distances of monoton-
Gus Asiatic geography will, before long,
be speedily traversed in comparative
comfort, II undertaken in the typical
corridor car of the first class, common
ly met with on the Russian railways,
and thereafter in the boats on the river
route to ~Vladivostock. a con-

have laboriously covered the same
ground under pre-existing conditions!
Then the seemingly endless journey
was undertaken with whatever uncom-
Portable primitive vehicle might be
found at hand, appropriate either to
summer mud or Arctic winter snow.
But o the comfortable travel of the
sleeping cars, with leisurely waits at
meal stations, and, later, the easy-going
advance of the river vessels, with full
personal security and polite attendance,
may safely be reckoned upon, thus ac-
centuating the extraordinary triumphs
over obstructive physical difficulties
which may be accomplished by persis-
tent and in~telligently directed human
effort. According to an official re-
port, some of the goods bound for China
or Siberia to Russia proper were for
merry a year on h road. The fur
clad, snow-bound journey across the
Steppes, with its frightful monotony,
relieved only by occasional stops for
tea and for change of horses at the
posting houses, is a familiar picture in
literature. II is another striking con-
trast that, perhaps, in the coming sum-
mer the new rai~l-and-river route may
be open to any robust traveller, who,
equipped with home passports n with
a special permit from the st. Peters
burg authorities. Is prepared to meet
rough WACO travel over a few hun
dred miles of uncompleted railway be-
tween Lake Baikal and the Shilka
river. Whatever may be his encoun-
ter, this much is certain, that IL he is
an American, and properly vouched for,
he will find extreme and unfailing SYM
pathy and civility from all the Rus
sians-oficials and others-as those Of
his countrymen who ave met these
gentlemen will gladly testify.
