The New Year Reception.

To the Editor OF Inc Evening Star.
Upon each recurring New Year reception
at the Executive Mansion the following
named infringements on the rules of order
as promulgated in the official program oc-
cur:

"12.35-Reception of citizens
A long column headed by the Old Guard,
composed of a few Grand Army men and a
large number of citizens, men. women and
children file In, by twos, taking the posi-
tion in line assigned to the G.. A. r., while
the balance of the organizations outside
lust in advance of thu citizens are COM
pelled to wait for this crowd, composed of
ALI Sorts sizes, sexes and conditions, to
pass. OF course, this works hardship on
the veterans, a majority OF whom are dis
abled by wounds received in battle in de-
fsnse of their country, being compelled to
stand at that bleak northwest corner await
ing their turn, while these people are
crowding in.
The police are powerless to prevent this
unwarranted intrusion, therefore it remains
with the organizations themselves to purge
their ranks of intruders.
The Union Veteran Legion allows no one
but members of the order in its ranks, and
this rule is strictly enforced.

program some Ave years since. through the

Chance to Get McGrnw.

II Baltimore goes to Brooklyn" contin-
ued Manager Irwin, I'VE stand chance of
getting McGraw. Now, that would be worth
while We would have a run-getting third
baseman. and wouldn't have to develop a
man. Mercer could then take his pIace

Would Mccormick of Chicago strength

Well. l don't know SO much about Dah-

l doubt very much if he would benefit the
local team. AS told you. some stars are

tions regarding the terms of the Baltimore
Rrcoklyn deal. The Baltimore magnates
held an informal conference with Robinson
and McGraw Wednesday night, in the
course of which Mr.. Hanlon intimated that
$4,000 would be the figure at which the
Baltimore franchise would be put on the
market when the deal with Brooklyn was
closed.
Under the circumstances thu price was
thought steep, but Hanlon is determined TO
make good use of the theory that the Bal
timore club will be bought out by the
league to further a reduction of the circuit
and that local investors would be able to
name their own price. The latest scheme
is for New York to buy the Louisville club
and franchise and with both Baltimore and
Louisville out of the way form ten-club
circuit for next season.

The Sale of SeIbach.


What do yCu think of the sale of Sell
bach?'
Il am perfectly reconciled to it. He will
play strong game in Cincinnati, but his
usefulness on the Washington team was
practically at an end. He is star ball
tosser. There is no doubt about that But
unless all hfG companions are stars such n
player Is rather hindrance than help to
lot of hustling, husky, ambitious young
sters. Little Casey stole more bases in the
twenty games he played here than Sebach
dld during the entire season."
Wouldn't You have been better pleased
with the Selbach deal if you had got Stein
felt or Irwin in part payment" asked The
Star reporter.

Irwin's Opinion of His Team.

Are you satisfied with the present make
up of your team asked The Star reporter
with whom Manager Irwin was talking.
Il am satisfied that it is the best team
that 1 could have got together under the
circumstan and 1 am willing to stand
pat until 1 see a chance to strengthen.
I'm Freeman O'Brien, Slagle Gettman
Hulen and Mercer / have six as fast men
as there are in the business, and 1 believe
they will make a good showing, even with
the championship hunters. With the ex-
cepton of Mercer those men are all young
in the business and ambitious. Mercer feels
that the Washington public is not very
friendly to him as a pitcher but is willing
to play an inf1eld position to the best of his
ability. If we do not make a fine third
baSeman of him I miss my guess. He was
to my mind the best batter on the WASH
ington team last year-the hardest man to
put out He was too good ball player to
keep out of the game. Think of IT. mcn
who can bat $40, who is as fast as he is
and who has the head he has. Why
shouldn't he make good infielder? Wasn't
he a good fielding pitcher?
Wasn't that trade with Pittsburg good
one?"
''Well, 1 guess it was. President Kerr
thinks so, or he wouldn't be willing to pay
several thousand to get little Slagle back.
Everybody tells me l have jewel in
Slagle. and | guess | have. j know I've got
one in O'Brien. / have been watching him
too long, and have been wanting him too
long not to be pleased to have him play
with my men,

Perhaps" suggested The Star man,
Manager Irwin of Washington is differ
ent from Manager Irwin of Toronto, but
the local ball fans can't help thinking of
McHale, Wagner and Snyder when refer
ence is made to the new men, and will re-
call the pleasant things said of that trio
before the season began last year"
Well replied Mr.. Irwin, Il don't think
those men had fair show. I consider Nc
Hale one of the best players in the country
but he Joined the team long after the sea-
son opened and wasn't used to Washington
base ball, which last year was of the kind
played ten years ago. Wagner jumped
right into the game from a sick bed and
was handicapped from the start"
Neither one will play with the Washing
ton team this year," asked The Star man.
No was the reply. although | still
think they are good men, we have much
better ones"

What Manager Irwin Says Of His
Base Ball Team.

Wouldn't Have SteinfeIdt or Irwin
OF Cincinnati.
WOULDLIKE TO HAVE M'GRAW

Manager Arthur Irwin passed through
Washington yesterday afternoon on his
way south to select grounds for the early
spring practice of the Washington base ball
team. He is a thorough believer in such
preliminary work and will put his men
through regular system of training, and
expects to bring them back to Washington
before the opening of the regular season in
fine condition, and ready to jump right into
the league fight and show what kind of
stuff they are made of. And judging from
Mr. Irwin's manner and talk, he is salts
fed that there is mighty good stuff in
them.
IF my men do not show up as 1 expect
they will fast on their feet, ready and
willing to protect the base runners and
combine to make an all-round, snappy,
speedy team, all working together, then
will lose no time in wedding out the slug

a regular mail boat. The anonymous letter
was postmarked June Is at 1880 p. m, and
Purser Corcoran stated that all mail en-

Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press special wire
NEW YORK, Dec. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey cabled to the Navy De-
partment asking when he might expect the
Buffalo to arrive at Manila, and requesting
that she might be hurried as much as pos
sible The Buffalo is carrying 500 men to the
Asiatic squadron to take the places of those
whose terms of service have expired, and
who are now exceedingly anxious to return
to the United States.
Many of these men would ordinarily have
come home on the flagship Olympia, which
was on the point of starting for San Fran
cisco when the Maine was blown up, but
was retained by Admiral Dewey on cable
warning from Secretary Roosevelt. The Ad-
miral has now informed the Navy Depart
ment that conditions in the Philippines have
SO materially improved that he will send a
few officers and men to San Francisco on the
next army transport which leaves Manila.
He is not yet willing however, to recon-
mend any reduction of the fleet and, notwith.
standing the reports to the contrary, he has
never intimated any desire to come home
himself, but, in fact, refused to take advan-
tage of the permission extended to him OF
temporarily leaving the East and visiting
Paris when the Peace Commission was
there

returned earlier if he had money to come
back on. He is believed to have left here
with $4,000 or $4,000 made in his peculiar
dealings with people here and elsewhere.
He caught number of men in San Fran
cisco as well, and his personal effects left
were sold out a short time ago on an execu-
tion issued on a judgment obtained by San
Francisco commission firm. The warrant
of arrest was issued on the complaint of the
cashier of the Navigation and Improvement
company, who charged Miller with having
got away with lot of beans belonging to
the steamboat company, which he bought
on worthless check in the amount of $4,000.
1t is charged that Miller bought the COM
paty's beans, and presenting the check on
bank where he had money, was given a
warehouse receipt, which he hypothecated
at the bank. There were other transac-
tions, so when he skipped out he was missed
by dozen or more sharp business men, who
were ashamed to tell Of their losses, but the
story got out. Miller says he went to Port
land from here, and then to Chicago, where
he has been since June last. He cut quite
a dash here for time, and seemed to have
unlimited credit. 1t was remarked when
he left that he had taken in some of the
sharpest business men in town. He is
credited with having crippled l. 5. Bost-
wick when the latter was considered a
wealthy man, by inducing him to engage in
coal mining and in the retail business in San
Francisco. Miller has lived here off and on
for many years.
