National League May Be Reduced to 10 Clubs.
This Season.

New York. Dec. 15.--The baseball
magnates. who have been hobknockng
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel since last
Tuesday morning, We're very tarJy in
getting to that hosiery, today. Only
a couple of the delegates had put in an
appearance at noon, ACCOMPLISHMENTS
the fact that the annual meeting was
to have reconvened am hour earlier.
Now THAT the delegates have. tempo-
rarily. smoothed over The Muskenfuss-
Won Der Abe argument, there is moth
ing to prevent their going ahead with
the regular order of business. Many
stories are in circulation as to the pur-
chase of the st. Louis and Louisville
franchises. but nothing definite has de-
veiloped. Louisville is in the market,
and if the league buys it, the general
is that F. De Haas Robinson of Clave-
land, will purchase the st. Louis assets,
if they are put up fer sale and will then
transfer the Cleveland club to st. Louis
This would reduce the league to 10
clubs for the coming season.
lat the night session the board of di-
rectors was elected by lot. according to
the League constitution as follows:
Messrs. Soden of Boston, Reach Of Phil
adelphia, Wagner of Washington. Har,
of Chicago, Brush of Cincinnati and
Muckenfuss of ST. Louis. The board
of arbitration was elected by ballot as
follows: Messrs. Young, Washington;
Rogers, Philadelphia; Brush. Cincin-
natl: Sooden, Boston; Robinson, Cleye-
land; and Hart, Chicago.

Heavy Shipment of Shot and Shell From Water
 town Arsenal.
Twenty-Five Carloads of Ammuni= tion for Heavy Guns to Be Hurried to Southern
 Ports.

The first order given was to take from the old storehouse a derrick which had been there for years. It was brought to one of the freight cars and then set up beside the track The shot and shell were then lifted into the cars one by one. They weigh from 300 to 1000 pounds, so the work was hard and tedious. The major superintended the work during the greater part of the afternoon. The ammunition is stored in different parts of the yard, some be- ing in the south storehouse near the officers quarters, machine shop and about the grounds The material which is shipped will carry a distance of from six to ten miles. The S-inch is intended to carry six miles, the 10- inch eight miles and the 12-inch ten miles. The loading of the freight cars is the first outside sign of the activity that has been displayed at the arsenal since the Maine disaster. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of the hundreds of men employed there that war is inevitable. Not since the Civil War has such a large order for shot and shell been received at this place It is expected that an extra force will be put at work immediately in order to finish the work on gun carriages which are under construction. The shipping will be done under the direc- tion of the Fitchburg Railroad of ficials, and it is said that the twenty five cars will be sent in different direc- tiOns along the Atlantic coast in the SOuth

PRIEST RECEIVES AN
 INTERNAL MACHINE.
Father Weber's Remarks Anent the War Crisis Excites
 Some Crank.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Father Web CT, whose recent declaration at Rond- out, that in case of war between the United States and Spain, it would be- come the duty of Roman Catholics to fight on the side of Spain, has been officially requested to leave the diocese. This fact was given out to-day by Father Connolly, secretary to Arch bishop Corrigan, who explained that had Father Weber belonged in this dio- cese, instead of in the West, whence he came, he would have been subjected to sharp discipline.
 A package addressed to Father Weber, containing an internal machine, was received at the Kingston postoffice to-day. One of the clerks noticed that a black powder came from the poorly wrapped packing; He carefully opened it. After the lid had been removed a box was discovered. It was arranged in two compartments. Attached to the lower portion of the box lid was thick sandpaper and in the upper apartment matches and about a pound of powder. which would have been ignited by the removal of the lid quickly The powder was between layers of cotton and a substance thought to be dynamite was in the bottom of the box.
 The package was sent from Wash ington.
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-27

BOSTON, Feb. 26. - Twenty-Five freight cars are being loaded at the Watertown Arsenal with shot and shell for Southern ports. The work or loading was begun shortly before noon to-day by dozen men, and up to late hour this evening three cars mad been packed The work will be con tinued until the last car IS loaded. The shot and shell are for 3-inch, TO- inch and 12-inch rifles and 12-inch mortars.
 Major James w Reilly refuses to talk. Even Major Reilly's closest friend could not ascertain what his special secret order from Washington was, so that his silence led every per son at the arsenal to believe the order was of the utmost importance. One of the lieutenants at the arsenal was known to call at the quartermaster's s and commissary's office in Boston during the morning hours, ana that visit was a significant one.
 Up to noon everything went smoothly about the spacious grounds, but about that hour the huge gates between the Fitchburg Railroad tracks and the sidetrack entrance to the arsenal were thrown open. About dozen men had been ordered to that section of the ground situated on the west side of the erecting shop. Among them were four or five soldiers connected with the arsenal They had been there a short time when Major Reilly put in an appearance. About eight or ten of the freight cars were then backed on to the arsenal sidetrack under the su- pervision of H. C. Fisher, freight agent for the Fitchburg Railroad. This move gave the men the impression that something unusual was about to occur, but Major Reilly kept his own counsel
