for stars. 1t is doubtful If they sue
coed in landing any irst-class players Tor
nearly all the good men are at present

the new league can afford to pay would
tempt any of them to leave their present
positions So far as the Maine and Ma

are not apt to jump to any other CLUBS.

HORSE BOOK IrEai's FATE.
1t Is Left Out of the Agricultural
Appropriation Bill.

Owing TO the fact that the Democrats
in the House were greatly outnumbered
yesterday, the tilt that had been eX-
pected over the Horse Book appropria
ton did not take place. On motion of
Mr. Wadsworth, of New York, the re-
port of the committee of the whole
relative to the agricultural appropria-
ton, excepting the Horse Book item,
was adopted without opposition.
Mr. Payne of New York then offer
ed an amendment TO the amendment
offered by Mr. Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, yesterday. Mr.. Clark's amend
ment wanted to appropriate money for
10000 copies of a Horse Book Mr..
Payne's amendment reduced the num-
ber 10 $4,000 copies. 1t was over this
item that the tilt was had yesterday.
and the Republicans, anticipating
trouble this morning, were present in
full force.
The Democrats realized how hopeless
the fight would be and fearing that they
might get nothing by making a row, in
structed Mr.. Clark of Missouri to ac-
cept Mr. Payne's amendment, and when
this was done in a graceful way the
appropriation for 80, 900 books was made
without opposition, and having been in
corporated in the original bill that also
was passed. and so far as the House
is concerned the appropriation for the
Department of Agriculture is made.

THE COLUMBIA LEASE.
IL Is Signed at Last aud an independ-
ent Policy Is Outlined.


Messrs. Joseph Z. Luckett and Will
liam j. Dwyer are now the lessees and
managers of the Columbia Theater.
Although the lease was signed last
Monday and the present lessees nave
been in practical control of the play
house since that time, the fact of the
change OF, management was not made
nublic till last night for lessees have,
understood and appreciated by those
directly concerned in the transaction
All the parties at interest in the
Aretzerott estate affixed their sigma
lures TO the lease Monday, and the
nagement of the house was trans
ferred then TO Messrs. Dwyer and
Luckett.
The lease is to run for ten years and
the lessees are to pay an annual rental
of So 600 Messrs. Dwyer and Luckett
last night issued the following an
nouncement:
THE new management Of the CO.
lumbia Theater desire to announce that
an independent policy vii be pursued;
that is to say, we shall do our own
booking or through a New York rep
rasentatiye not vet announced. We
shall book any and all first-class at
fractions, whether controlled by the So
called theatrical syndicate or not, and
will do business direct with managers
of attractions In taking this cosy
house the new management intend TO
make ii one of the leading comedy the
aters of the country. In reference to
the statement this morning in regard
to the anticipated change in the man
agement of the theater wherein it is
made to appear that Mr.. 7. c. Noyes
is the hacker Of the enterprise, we de-
sire most positively to state that this
is incorrect The financial backing Of
the new managers is composed of
company of well-known Washington
ians, among them the lessees and
managers of the theater."
Mesrs. Dwyer and Luckett have been
several times prominently mentioned
as candidates for the control of this
popular playhouse. This has provoked
a great deal of speculation as to the
terms of the lease and the future policy
Of the house. Many of the rumors
which have gained currency have
caused considerable anxiety to Mr..
Luckett and Mr.. Dwyer. and also TO
the retiring manager. Mr.. Frank Met
zerott.
Much comment has resulted from the
understanding that under its new man
agement the Columbia is to be run as
an independent theater, that is, to be
conducted Independently of the So
called theatrical syndicate. The gen.
tlemen now in control of the house
have evidently weighed the arguments
for and against the proposition with
care and have come to the conclusion
that the policy of the theater will be
an indeDendent one
