BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Earl Wagner, seeing a demand for Tom
Tucker, has raised the price for his release
to $1,000. This is considered bluff. and If
not sold beforehand, Tucker can be bought for
$500 by the first of May.
Chauncey Fisher was present at the Ma
tional league meeting and made a protest
against being released by Brooklyn to
contract called for 81, 100 and the contract
received from Omaha allowed him 81 900 for a
seasons work. He was told by President
Ebbetts that, in view of the ball he pitched
last season, he ought to consider himself lucky
to get contract for $1,000.
Chris Won der Abe is of the magnates
who claims to have been opposed to rowdy
base ball for years: He said that when the
Browns were in their glory, with Charley
Comiskey at their head, he had to caution
Comiskey repeatedly against the tactics he
maintained on the field. Western league pat

Still smarting over those three lickings last
August, eh?
Ion will be the fourth umpire in the West
ern league, 1t seems and there Is a good
prospect that DAILY, the Detroiter, who is out
for the job again, will be chosen by President
Johnson.
The Cincinnati club. in charge of Manager
Buck Ewing, has passed through St. Louis
for San Antonio, Tex. The Reds are the first
team to go into training quarters for the
season. Manager Ewing said that the team
was intact, with the exceptions of Pitchers
Hawley and Hahn. Both men refuse to sign
for the salaries offered them. Steinfeldt. the
teams infelder. lives in Northern Texas,
and will be hand when Ewng's braves
reach San Antonio.
Manager Barnie, of the Brooklyns, has de-
cided to give Stein, the teams veteran twirl-
er, another chance on the rubber this year.
Stein was idle last season, but Barnie thinks
that there is still some pitching in him. Stein
played with the "Bridegrooms" for several
seasons, and before that was a member of
the Chicagos.

EVEN COAST WHEAT WANTED,
Eastern Buyers Offer Big Prices for
Washington Grain.

TACOMA, Wash, March 4.-The wheat
market throughout the Palouse country has
received shock by the appearance of Ted
Cariin, representing j. o. Adams & Co.
OF Minneapolis, who is trying to buy ESQ, 900
bushels of wheat for Eastern shipment. and
onering prices that local dealers cannot duplI-
cate tor Shipment to the Pacific coast. Carlin
offers 6312 cents, (. o. b., for wheat testing
% pounds to the bushel, which is one pound
less than the test for No. l required for
coast shipment: This is for bulk wheat, which
wheat or 6oc in warehouse. This is six cents
better than local dealers offer, 50 cents being
the price offered. Carlin has bought 100 600
bushels out of the farmers warehouse at the
price quoted above, and the market is in a
furore.
1t is expected the price will advance at all
Paiouse country points in consequence This
is the first time since 1893 that wheat has
been shipped to Eastern markets in any con-
siderable quantity.

WASHINGTON WAIFS.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The expected
disposition of the Pacific cable project by
the house committee was not made today.
Senator Morgan said today that it was his
purpose to introduce a resolution at an eariy
date making a second call upon the presi-
dent for the consular correspondence bear
ing upon the condition of affairs in Cuba
Chairman Hull believes that when the bill
comes up in the house next week It. Will

considers the team already in good shape as

considers the team already in good shape as
lar as pitchers are concerned.
The only thing that is troubling the man
agement In this particular Is an alleged Sc
rious effort on the part of the Chicago man
agement to draft Tommy Tucker away from
Omaha. 1t has been said presumably re-
liable authority that. Burns wants Tucker to
play first base and captain the team, but with
Decker and Everett both available for the
position the story seems somewhat improbable
In any case, Manager O'Brien proposes to
hold on to Tucker If possible.
The second base matter Is still open. 1t has
been impossible to secure Stafford, and Roat
is still the only man now available for the
position. But Manager O'Brien is negotiat-
ing for two National league second basemen
and has an excellent prospect of securing one
Of them.
Several Of the Western league clubs would
like to get Mckinney, but there is no inten-
ton of letting him go. Lotus and Wander
beck have both indicated an anxiety to make
deal for the Omaha third baseman, but as
he promised to be just as valuable to Omaha
it is considered advisable to retain him. Eus
tace is at Hot Springs getting in condition
for the summer and Manager O'Brien thinks
he will show up fit to play better ball than
last year. The entire team will report at
Omaha about April l, and Manager OBrien
wants to have the grounds in shape for prac-
tice at that time.

IsBEL is A "COMER."
North Branch Lad Thus Sized Up In
Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 4.-'Tim" Donahue, NC
Cormick and the new pitcher, Isbel, dropped
into President Hart's office yesterday after
noon to let him know they were ready for
business.
Donahue took occasion to critcise the ac-
ton of the magnates on the rowdyism ques-
tion. He thinks that the advocates of the
measure exaggerated the facts and that there
is not so great an amount of profane and in
decent language on the diamond as repre-
sented. He is inclined to believe that nothing
was gained by publicly discussing the matter.
Ryan and Burns, however, stood up for the
action taken, and denounced the behavior of
many players They were glad that the au-
thorities had taken steps which would rid the
game of one of it's most Objectionable fea-
lures.
The rest of the Colts, with the exception Of
Kilroy, who will join the team at West
Baden, and Dahlen and Griffith, who will go
direct from Hot Springs to Waycross, will
all be in the city by tomorrow. The team
will leave for West Baden Saturday morning.
There is a great deal Of speculation over
the new players whom Hart has signed
Kiroy is an old-timer and can be judged by
his former record. Woods Is more or less
known by the FANS but Isbel and Chance,
the new catcher and pitcher respectively, are
quantities to be tested in fast company. Hart
and Burns are both Of the opinion that Isbel
is a conner" but Chance, although well
recommended by Lange, is said to be weak
with the stick.

REGISTRATION OF ATHLETES
The Proposed Amendments to the
Amateur Rule Have Been
AdOnted

NEW YORK, March 4.-James E.
Sullivan, chairman Of the registration
committee of the A. A. u, today an
nounced the result of the mail vote
of the registration committee on the
amendments to the rule governing the
registration of athletes. The amend
ments have been carried, and COM
munications setting forth the changes

citation, the Interscholastic association

American Gymnastic union, Western
Intercollegiate union, Amateur Athletic
Association of Canada, and the Y. NJ

The registration rule, over which
there has been SO much contention, has
been changed so that all these bodies
can register their own men and retain
one-half the registration fees. In the

WIRE TRUST Is FLOATED
THE NEW CONCERN HAS A CAPITAL
OF FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
Only Five Companies Engaged In
the Manufacture of Steel Wire,
Rods and Nails Are Outside the
COmbination-MOr & Co. Are
Behind the Big Deal.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The plan for
a combination of the steel wire, rod and
nail manufacturers, which has been un-
der consideration for the past six
months, was practically consummated
at a meeting held at the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel in this city today.
The combination will represent about
$50, 900, 900 In capital. The name select
ed for the combina ton is The American
Steel and Wire company. The largest
steel wire and rod companies in the
United States, to the number Of fifteen,
will be in the combination. Only five
concerns engaged in the manufacture of
steel wire rod and nails throughout
the entire United States are not in the
combination.
Although Judge E. H. Gary, of Chi
cago, who is the leading man in the
consolidation thus far, would not con-
sent to mention the names of the OBJ
durate concerns after the meeting, he
said that they are located in Oregon,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York.
There will be in all about 10000 men
employed by the new concern, but as
the expert trade of steel wire, rods and
nails is expected to be largely increased
through the combination, it is likely
that the number of workmen will also
be increased very materially in the near
future.
The headquarters will be located
either in New York or Chicago. 1t is
possible that the choice Of these two
cities will be made at the meeting to-
morrow when final legal questions rela-
tive to the new combination are to be
settled
The final meeting of the projectors of
the combination will be held on April
1. At that time officers will be select
ed, George L. Oliver, of Pittsburg, be-
ing named as the leading candidate for
the Office of president.
j. P. Morgan & Co., of this city, Judge
Gary stated, would be underwriters for
a considerable block of the capital
stock. He also announced that it was
the purpose Of the projectors Of the
combine to provide steel wire, rods and
nails at much lower figure than here
tofore.
The concern. it is said, will produce
about one million tons of wire annually
from the beginning. 1t will operate it's
own mines. which are located here
principally and in the west and owned
by several other companies in the COM
bine.

POTTING POSTMASTERS
THE CABINET DETERMINED TO
PUT A STOP TO THE PAsTIME
Larger Reward Than Ever Before
offered In a Similar Case VIII BE
Paid for the Conviction of the
Lake City Murderers-Mr. Gary
Is In Earnest.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Today' s
cabinet meeting occupied about three
hours. An hour or more Of the time
was occupied in the reading of a long
report from the special agent Of the
postoffice department on the killing Of
Baker, the colored postmaster at Lake
City, S. G.
In view Of the peculiar circumstan-
ces connected with the murder and the
enormity Of the crime, it was decided
to increase the government reward 10
800 in each case. Every effort will
be made by the federal authorities to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
The report on the case was present
ed by Postmaster General Gary, and
the action taken by the cabinet in Of
fering rewards for the apprehension
and conviction Of the guilty persons is
said to be the most energetic ever
agreed upon by any administration in
similar case. 1t Is probable that the
postoffice department will detail other
inspectors to assist those now on the
field in ferreting out the murderers.
It Is said that Attorney General
Griggs holds to the opinion that the
federal government will have jurisdic-
tion over the murderers when captured,
unless they are first taken by the
state authorities. Baker, 1t is held, was
an officer Of the government in the dis
charge of his duty, and an attack on
him was similar to an attack on dep
uty marshal or other official.
Postmaster General Gary expressed
the determination to do everything in
his power to ascertain the identity of
the guilty parties. He added:
"It is needless for me to add that
the administration, together with all
good citizens of the country in what
ever section they may reside, fully ap-
preciates the enormity Of the crime
which has been committed, not only
against this unoffending man and his
family but against the government as
represented by the postmaster, and
assure you that the postoffice depart
ment, in cooperation with the depart
nlent of justice, will do everything in
it's power to apprehend and convict the
men who committed this terrible out
rage.
Both Of the departments mentioned
are using every means in their power
to the end that justice may be meted
out to the criminals"

Day to Them Next Week.


WASHINGTON March 4.-Two an
preparation bills were sent to the presi-
dent today, the pension bill and the
consular and diplomatic, both of which
went through their final stages in tho
house.
This was private bill day. The most
important action taken was an agree
ment to make the bill approprfatinr q

ed by the court of claims under the

cial order for next Friday. The claims

to pay the heirs Of Sterling T. Austin
about $4,000 for cotton seized during
the war, and the other to pay an ag-
gregate of $3.50 in small claims grow
ing out of back pay earned during the
war.
During the debate on minor relief
bill, Mr.. Handy Oem., Del.), who was
attempting to contrast the promises
made by President Mckinley in his in
augural a year ago today with their
fulfillment,- was called to order for not
speaking to the question before the
committee.
Mr.. Payne sustained the point of or
der and an appeal was taken
Onthe appeal the vote was 81 to 81.
Mr.. Payne announced: 1.-The vote is a
tie, and the chair votes in the affirma-
tive, so the decision of the chair stands
as the decision of the house."
On motion of Mr.. Dingley it was vot-
ed that when the house adjourned to-
day it be to meet on Monday. At 5
o'clock the house recessed until 8
o'clock, the evening session to be de-

General Passenger Agent Fee, Of the
Northern Pacific, got home yesterday from
the East, where he has been for the last
month. During his trip Mr.. Fee appeared
before the interstate commerce commission
on behalf Of most Of the American roads,
and his application for the waving of the
long and short-haul clause was favorably
acted upon. He also attended number of
meetings Of the trunk lines and Western
roads, the general purpose of which was to
arrange for the greatest benefit from the ex-
emption of the. clause in the rate war with
the Canadian Pacific road.
Mr.. Fee says that while the commissioners
showed disposition to get at all the facts
and reasons, etc, in the case there was no
delay In securing the assistance asked for.
At the different Northern Pacific offices
he visited, he says he found many people
were asking for information about the Klon-
dixie, shipping, rates etc., and although
he looks for diminution in the volume of
business between the middle of the present
month and May /, when the rivers open, he
holds the view that the movement is here
to stay.
Business in general he finds very good in
