Baltimore Ball Players May Kill the
Brooklyn Combination Scheme.

NEW YORK, Dec 20.-Harry Wonder
horst, principal owner of the Baltimore
Baseball Club, who is spending the winter
in the city, left for Baltimore this afternoon
as the result of telegram received from
Edward Hanlon, manager of the Orioles.
Vonderhorst said his return home related 20
the pending deal for the consolidation of the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs. He still
thinks well of the plan, but has not decided
fully to give his consent. He intends to
look the ground over thoroughly before de-
Gliding, and will consult with the minority
stockholders as to the wisdom of making the
deal. When asked about the combination
formed by some of the Baltimore players to
get some money for themselves if the deal
be made, Vonderhorst laughed and said

Notwithstanding that they failed to give the

Two or three syndicates are in the field for
the purpose of buying out the club and

the war was not for such a preservation

bring both sections together as one people,
it was not wise to have fought it. Having
fought it and been victorious all men who
would keep sectional differences alive by

Wilson, commanding the First Army Corps

the date of his resignation and the begin

the army this time it was to remain so long
as his services were needed, and he has
no expectation of quitting until the govern

for his services. He was not an applicant for

would have felt honored had the assign

CAPTURED SPANISH GUNS.
They Are Not of Modern Type, and
Will Be of Little Use.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-There has been
some speculation as to what disposition the
Navy Department will make of the modern
guns captured from Spain during the recent
war. 1t has been generally understood that
the obsolete ordnance would figure only as
souvenirs for distribution by the government
to States and municipalities, but there was
quite number of serviceabe modern can
non, mostly naval guns, captured at Santa
go, Manila and elsewhere. 1t is stated by
the department that these guns are not
likely to form a very valuable asset. The
4.7-inch guns from the Maria Teresa the
Viscaya and the Colon, several of which
are now at the Washington navy yard, are
not the most modern type of this weapon.
They are different in caliber from any guns
in the American navy. except those of the
New Orleans and the Albany, now being
completed abroad. The six-inch quick-fire
guns captured also require special ammuni-
tion. not being adapted to our six-inch
shells, so that. except in case of accident
to one of the guns of the New Orleans or
Albany there would be small likelihood of
getting any of the captured ordnance into
service. The question of boring out the
captured guns to the next higher callber was
considered. but rejected reducing too
greatly the factor of safety. There Is on

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Result of Explorations Made by an
English Traveller.
London Times.

London Times
There has returned quite recently from
the Caroline islands an accomplished Eng
lish explorer Frederick w. Christian, who
has a very interesting account to give of
his Investigations there, as well as in other
island groups of the Pacific. Mr.. Christian
was educated at Eton and oxford. Some
nine years ago he left England for AUS
tralia and found himself in a position to
realize his ambition of exploring the area
of the so-called Malayo-Polynesian tribes
He stayed nearly three years in Samoa,
studying the language and customs OF the
people, especially those who are farthest
removed from the settlements of the white
man. He bought some land in the valley
of the Vasingano river near X. L Steven
proved himself the very best of neighbors,
the kindliest of entertainers.
OF his society and sympathy and hos
pitality Mr. Christian entertains the most
pleasing recollections. On his departure
for Tahiti and the Marquesas Stevenson
took over his little plantation and expert
most generous figure. The forest depart
ment of New South Wales, In exchange for
some packets of Samoan seeds, had for
warded Mr.. Christian quantities of the seed
of valuable Australian economic trees-of
the black butt, stringy-bark, golden waffle
and various kinds of eucalyptus which
thrived excellently in the rich soil under the
care of his right-hand man. a carefully
trained Tongan islander. Tupon of Vavau.'
In Tahiti and the Marquesas Mr.. Chris
tian spent two years carefully and minutely
studying and noting down the language,
the genealogies. folklore and traditions of
kindly. hospitabe and singularly interest
ing folk. Soon after his return to Sydney
Mr. Christian met that remarkable Ulysses
of Pacific waters. Louis Becke. On his
advice he determined single-handed to visit
Spanish Micronesia and obtain some further
and minuter information upon certain mys-
terious ruins reported to exist upon Donate
or Ponape and Lele, two islands lying fur
ther to the eastward of the extensive Caro-
line chain.
BY the kind offices of Sir Stewart Lock-
hart. colonial secretary, and Sir William
Robinson, the governor Of Hong Kong, Mr..
Christian received letters of introduction TO
Gen Blanco. the then Spanish governor Of
the Philippines. who In turn furnished him
with introductions to the two deputy-gov-
eTnors on zap and Ponape-the respective
seats of government In the western and
eastern Carolnas.
The results of Mr. Christians explorations
were as follows: A Pampanga native, since
executed by the Spanish for joining the

CHlLKO0T PASS CASUALTY.
Six People Killed by an Avalanche at
Crater Lake.

SEATTLE, Wash Dec. 20.-The steamer
Al Ki, which arrived here to-day from
Alaska, brings meagre particulars of an
avalanche on the Chilkoot pass, in which
six persons were killed. Five bodies have
been recovered, as follows:
MRS. DARLING, of Lake Linderman, and
her two sons.
BERT. JOHNS. of Juneau.
HARRY SHAW, of Skaguay.
The slide occurred Dec. at Crater lake,
about one mile beyond the summit on the
Lake Linderman side. Mrs. Darling's hus-
band was at Lake Linderman, and she had
arranged to join him with her two sons, who
had almost reached manhood. Shaw was a
Skaguay man who had business at the lake.
Bert Johns, of Juneau was but nineteen
years old, and the reason for his taking the
dangerous trip does not appear He was a
TREND or the Darling boys. The name of the
trary to the advice of old-timers, who real
lied that the trip was a dangerous one in
view of the recent storms, the party set out
with hght outfits. 1t was storming very
hard when they crossed the summit but
they succeeded in reaching Crater lake
where the blizzard forced them to camp, al
though 1t was but seven miles to their deS-
tinatiOn. While encamped there, tons of ice
and snow, mixed with rocks and timbers
and went on down the valley, leaving them
buried under several feet of hard snow. The
bodies were found three days later by a
searching party. The bodies were not
bruised in the least.
A peculiar coincidence is that the news of
the snowslide is brought by the same
steamer that brought word of the terrible
slide last spring in which nearly sixty people
perished. Another coincidence is that the
two slides occurred just about the same dis
tance from the summit, but on opposite
sides.
Just. before the Al Ki left Skaguay, G.
Bald Mills, of London, England, and F. Il.
Smith, of Melbourne, Australia, arrived from
Lake Atkin with their feet and hands badly
frozen. 1t is feared that Mills will lose both
feet.

rately refused to answer the question put to

OUTRAGE BY A sPANIARD.
New Yorker Arrested for Selling
United states FLAGS.

HAVANA, Dec. 2O.-S. L. Israel, of New
York, few days ago opened little store
on Obispo street for selling American flags
and jewelry. His wife last night appealed
in tears to General Greene, saying that Is
rael had been arrested and that she cannot
find him. General Greene sent Captain
Mott to Captain General Castellanos, asking
that Israel be produced and sent to Gen
eral Greene. In an hour an aidde-camp of
the captain general brought the man
to the Hotel Inglaterra. He had
been in the Furza prison. Israel
says that at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
Spanish lieutenant entered his store, tore
down the flags and broke the showcase with
his sword. Later he sent three men to ar
rest Israel. He was well treated while Il
prisoner. General Greene considers that, as
Israel is free, nothing more need be done by
the American authorities. Israel filed a COM
plant with Mr.. Jerome. the British vice
consul, who refused to consider it.
