TO HAVE A STATE LEAGUE.
Richmond and Norfolk May Retire
from the Atlantic.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, September
l3-(Special)-Th Virginia Baseball
League will be revived for the season OF
1899. and the franchises will be held BY
Richmond, Norfolk. Newport News,
Lynchburg. Danville. and either Ports
mouth or Roanoke. This information was
obtained by your correspondent To-
day from a thoroughly reliable source
A gentleman of this city, who has been
interested in baseball management In
Newport News before, and who is IN
position to know whereof he speaks,
stated to your correspondent That klcn-
mond and Norfolk will both drop out OF
the Atlantic League next season. ana the
prospects are that Richmond will sell
its Atlantic franchise to Harrisburg and
Norfolk will sell to Scranton. Danville'
Lynchburg, and Newport News are GER
tainties in the recognized league, ana
the sixth franchise Will go TO either
Portsmouth or Roanoke. 1t Is believed
here that Portsmouth will be the sue
cessful city. According to your cores
pondent's informant, the managers Oh
the Richmond and Norfolk teams lost
money last season, and are thoroughly
convinced that the coming season VIII
mean a mint for them in Virginia
league, II one can be successfully orga-
nized. The only time the Virginia base
ball managers have made any money
was when the old State League was
fiourishing They hope now to perfect
plans that will duplicate the days when
baseball was a paying institution in VIZ
ginia. Newport News will have a frst-
class club OF this assurance Is gwen,
and considerable outlay will be made TO
accomplish this. This city has bright
future ahead. and there is every reason
TO believe that with the proper manage
ment it can be made a good base-oall
town. The gentleman in question stated
that further developments of n more de-
finite nature may be expected In the next
few days. The fact that the meeting OF
the Board of Directors of the Atlantic
League. in Philadelphia. yesterday, de-
cided that there would be no change
made in the present circuit will not in
terfere with the reorganization or the
Virginia League. This action was taken,
IL is said. TO strengthen the franchises
of the Richmond and Norfolk clubs.
President NJ NJ. Mcclure, OF the Rtch-
mond club, was out Of the city last night,
and hence no information concerning the
probabilities OF Richmond entering state

APATHY AND FACTIONS.
Democrats Not Well Aroused, ana
Republicans knitting Each other.

Reports from all over the State indi-
cate that the only enemy which the
Democrats have to fear in the present
campaign is apathy within their own
ranks.
There can be no question but that
majority OF the voters in each of the
districts will support the Democratic can
didates IL they go to the polls, but as Is
usual in off years, II seems well nigh Inn
possible TO stir up the sovereigns. which
Is essential to getting out anything Ike
O full vote.
However. apathy in the Democratic
ranks seems more than offset by rae
tional fighting In the ranks OF the Re-
nubllcans. The latter seems to be In no
wise likely to be healed soon-indeed. the
factions seem to grow wider apart daily
and in this city, at least, new intra-party
fights are developing

Attorney General Montague is in great

numerous invitations to address the
voters. He has not been able 10 accept
any OF these as yet, owing TO the Illness

CLEANING UP SANTIAGO.
Capt. Mestre Describes Gen. Woods
Excellent Work There.


Excellent Work There.
New York, Oct 17.-Capt. Aurelius
Mestre, who volunteered as a military
aide at the outbreak of the war and who
has been on the staff of Gen. Leonard
Wood, the American commander at San
tiago, has returned to his home in New
York on a leave of absence. Capt.
Mestre took an active part in the mill
tary operations round Santiago, and his
valuable services at San Juan and La
Quasina have caused Gems. Wheeler,
Wood and Lawton to recommend him to
the War Department for promotion.
Capt Mestre came up from Cuba on the
Berlin. He suffered a severe attack of
malaria, and his trip was made in order
to allow him to gain back his health.
He expects to return TO Santiago in the
course of couple of months.
In discussing the present condition of
the Cuban city. now under American oc-
cupation, Capt. Mestre stated that un-
der Gen. Woods vigorous administra-
ton Santiago was now as clean as the
average American city of its size. The
dirt of ages was fast disappearing. A
large shipment of two-wheeled carts for
street-cleaning purposes and been sent
to Gen. Wood, and these had been used
10 eAcGiltnI III CltdHSliiS lilc
thoroughfares. Gen. Wood was expect
ed to turn his attention next to the wa
terworks These will be put in perfect
condition. According TO Capt. Mestre
that part of the harbor near the piers
will be thoroughly dredged, at cost of
about $4,000. 1t is expected that many
of the insurgents will thus be given en-
ployment and made to earn their living
instead of being an expense to the Gov
ernment of the United States, as they
are at present. Capt. Mestre also said
that when he left Gen. Wood was busy
perfecting a system of rural guard or
country police, for the protection of the
farmers of that section, who were anx-
ious To resume agricultural operations.
Capt. Mestre described the American
soldiers as a well-contented body of men,
and the sickness among them was rapid
ly disappearing. In regard 10 business
he expressed the opinion that there
would be excellent opportunities in the
future, when all classes had accommo-
dated themselves TO the new conditions.
The evening times., 1898-10-17

is reason to believe that he will suggest
that the army be increased to at least
5000 men.
The President has often expressed an
aversion TO large standing army, main
tanning that the United States is a peace
full nation, not subject to the internal re-
volts and uprisings common In many for
eign nations: but the acquisition of new
territory and the necessity for garrison
ing the possessions are manifest, and 1t is
believed that the President viii coincide
with his Secretary of War in the matter
of an increase in the United States army
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
army, is strongly in favor of additional
regular forces.
The sentiment of Congress, so far as 1t
is able to judge, is favorable to the sug-
gestion. Some Democrats and Republi-
cans do not look with favor upon propo-
sition to enlarge the army, but they ap-
pear to be in a hopeless minority.
Unless provision is made for an en-
largement of the regular army the Gov
ernment is likely to be left with an in
sufficient force soon as the Volun-
teer terms of service expire.

He Had Attempted to Fire When
Caught Shooting.

ova twenty years old. of Barbour Street,
Haledon, was shot and instantly killed
in the woods of Manchester Saturday af-
ternoon BY James L. Tooker. formerly ed
ftor of the Perth Amboy Republican, and
now New Jersey game warden. The
shooting was apparently cane in self-de-
tense. Canovas body is in Hindles
morgue. Tooker was arraigned and COM
mitted 10 the county Jail by Recorder
Senior. A coroner's jury was impaneled.
Chief Game Warden Shriner editor of
The Sunday Chronicle of this city, has
recently been greatly annoyed by the
slaughter of robins by Italians. His eli
deavors TO break up the practice not hay-
ing attained much success. TO put a stop

caught TWO Italians in the act Of shoot
ing robins. One of them was CanoYa.
When the deputies saw bird drop TO the
ground they advanced on the men, picked
up the dead robin and demanded the guns
of the hunters. Canova's companion
handed over his gun but Canova made a
quick move and covered Tooker with his
weapon. Tooker was the quicker of the
two, and drawing his revolver, shot Can
ova through the heart, killing him in
stantly. Tooker gave himself up. and
seemed greatly grieved that he had killed
a man.

waukee Business Man.

New York, Oct. IA romance which
began in Milwaukee year ago had its
climax in Hoboken Saturday, when Au-
gust Reinhardt, a wealthy business man
of Milwaukee, married Mime. Johanna
Bohrmann, German operatic singer.
Twelve months ago Mr. Reinhardt met
Nine. Bohrmann while she was singing
in milwaukee,. He was introduced to her
by the manager of the opera company of
which she was member and the two
became such fast friends that their en-
gagement was announced soon afterward
An engagement to appear in Germany
prevented Nine. Bohrmann consenting to
an early marriage, but she promised Mr.
Reinhardt to become his wife on the close
of her European trip. Nine Bohrmann ar
rived in Hoboken on the Bremen liner
Carlsruhe on Friday afternoon, and Mr.
Reinhardt was the first to greet her as
she walked down the gangplank Yester-

had made up her mind to leave the stage.
