length to which piece Of rope was at
tached, was found, Thursday, by
KnOwltOn & Young in one Of their
sword fishes. The harpoon was buried
in the flesh and to all appearances the
rope attached was broken off, which
accounts for the presence below the
surface of the flesh. The harpoOn is

the head. for evidently fieshy people
are not to his liking as am about to
tell. The car left one street with the
usual jerk and again this short, lean
driedup little man tried to lose himself
when buxom woman was crowded
against him. At another street a gen.
tleman particularly noticeable for his
corpulency boarded the car. There
was just little vacant place between
the small man and the buxom woman.
The newcomer squeezed himself into
this small place and the small man and
his bundles were hid almost complete
ly. The small man tried in vain to
extricate himself Finally despairing
he blurted out through his bundles:

gentleman hearing the wee voice at his

 BIDS DEFIANCE Says He Will Fight Freedman

TROUBLE WITH LOUISVILLE

Chicago, March 3O,-The Tribune tomor- row will print an interview with James A Hart, president of the Chicago baseball club, of which the following is a part:
 "You may say as emphatically as you know how and with the biggest and black est type the Tribune owns that the Chica- go baseball club is against FIeedmaniszn from start to finish, and I will back it up for all there is in it and for an I am worth. Say also that the Louisville club was de- prived of its Sunday games purposely and with malice aforethought, and that we did 1t for the benefit of baseball as blow to Freedmanism, and that we are glad we did it, and will do 1t again whenever we get a chance.
 'The Chicago baseball club Is working for the best interest of the game and will continue to do so and when man asserts openly as Freedman did, that he will attempt to injure the game. we are ready to fight and will use every means at hand to carry on the fight.
 President Hart stated that the result of trouble among magnates of the league meant there would probably be an eight club circuit.

WATSON ASKS TO
 SUCCEED DEWEY Admiral SchIey Also Applies for
 the Command. THE FORMER HAS THE CALL Bureau of Navigation Seems to Delight in Disappointing the Hero of Santiago, and Will Probably
 Turn Him Down"
THE FORMER HAS THE CALL

Washington, March 30.-(Special.)- is not unlikely that Admiral Watson may succeed Admiral George Dewey in com mand of the Asiatic squadron The Ken tuckian has asked for the billet whenever Admiral Dewey returns home or whenever his health will force him to leave the east ern waters In asking for this command Admiral Watson states that he has not seen enough sea duty. or rather that his sea service is not commensurate with his rank.
 It is thought that the bureau of naviga- tion here is favorable to Admiral Watson It prefers to send him than to detail Ad- mira Schley for this important duty. The latter has asked for sea duty likewise, and in spite of the fact that his application has been in for over two months, and that 1t was promised to him, he Is still without a command.
 It is the bureaus way to stick pins in the hero of Santiago. Failing to humiliate him in other ways, Crowninshield is petty in his persecution. Admiral Sampson has the best billet the navy can give. His squadron will sail into all the ports of Europe and Sampson will get the feasting and the fattery which alone seems to make life bearable to him. To appoint him to the eastern squadron would be to subordinate him too far to Dewey. It must be remem- bered that his friends here claim him to be superior to Dewey.
 It is feared, moreover, that the hoodoo which has been following him from the first would get in its deadly work again should he be sent to Manila. Something would go wrong which would further react against his reputation and sgnalize the Q Of a Dewey represent this government at the disarma- ment congress at The Hague. This leaves Watson or Schley for Manila when Dewey shall return, and at the present time Wat son has the call with the bureau of naviga- tion. A. w. B.
