The st. Louis Matter to be Definitely
Settled


Settled.
New York, March 2s-The National
League of professional baseball clubs will
hold another important meeting at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel tomorrow afternoon.
The first arrivals today were Frank Dc
Haas Robson and his brother, Stanley Rob
ison, the owners of the Cleveland club, who
are expected to take their team of stars
TO st. Louis in time to begin the champion
ship series on April 10. They held con-
ference with James A. Hart, of the Chicago
club. While they were out Edward Z.
Becker, OF the St Louis club. called at
their hotel Two hours later Becker ran
into the Robisons on Broadway and the
trio hunted up H. r. Won der Horst, of the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs. The result
was an extended conference during which
the situation was carefully canvassed.
When Frank Robson was asked whether
the st. Louis Cleveland deal would be con-
summated. he said: THE matter rests en-
tirely with the National League. | am not
in position to make any predictions and
do not care to discuss the case for publi-
cation N
Have you reached any agreement with
Becker?" -
Il cannot answer that question:
Becker was more communicative He
was asked whether he or Muckenfuss would
represent the st. Louis club at tomor-
rows conclave Il see no reason why
Muckenfuss should not represent st.
Louis replied Becker, ''as he will repre-
sent my interests. I hold the majority OF
the stock in that organization and have
also recently purchased the clubs assets,
and / have a clear title to the franchise.
! have put the st. Louis club in better
shape than it has been for years. and see
no reason why l should not receive what
belongs to me. ! decline to say whether
/ have made any compact with the Robi-
sons or not, but ! will state that l intend
to rehabilitate baseball in ST. Louis and
place powerful team there with the per-
mission of the League"
| The st. Louis case will be taken up the
| first thing tomorrow and disposed of as
| soon as possible. The prevailing opinion
| is that it will be amicably settled, as it is
for the Leagues interests to have the
| Cleveland team located in the Mound City.
| 1t was said Mr.. Brush, Of Cincinnati.
would not arrive until early in the morning
| and that he would take no hand in the
| proceedings except to cast his vote when
called upon. Brush, it is reported, has
) washed his hands of the St. Louis matter,
and in future will give most Of his atten-
/ tion TO his private business and the well
| fare of his Cincinnati team.

20 Y the way, what has become OF
o one Thomas Bracket Reed. OF
Maine or New York? A few
weeks ago he gave the country a sem
sation by announcing that he is
through with politics and that it is not
his intention to serve in congress the
term for which he was elected and
which begins next December-unless
congress be sooner summoned in extra
ordinary session. 1t is known that Mr..
Reed Went to sea, that he landed safe
on the other shore and that fer a few
days the press dubbed with the light
and airy trifies that came from his lips.
Then Mr.. Reed disappeared. That was
weeks ago; and his present address
seems to be a matter that nobody
knows anything about. As far as re-
cent tidings go, it is not even known
whether he tarried in England or
crossed the channel to do" Europe.
Mr.. Reed is a man of large proper
tions in more senses than one That
he should have taken a header so sud
denly and so successfully, is passing
strange. But his whereabouts certainly
are not known.

military governor of Havana, is well
remembered in Detroit, where he was
stationed for many years, first as en-
slneer or the Ninth and Eleventh light
mouse districts and afterward as en-
glneer in charge of river and harbor
work. 1t is recalled, says writer In

TNHOSE who read between the lines
in yesterdays press dispatches
under San Francisco and Port
lahd dates perceived that Portland was
not happy. There was ample reason
why Portland should feel grieved. To
begin with, it would have been an easv
matter for the authorities at Washing
ton to have arranged for the arrival
OF the Oregon volunteers direct at an
oregon port whence their transfer to
Portland would have been a simpIa
affair. The event was that The SOL
diers were taken to San Francisco. they
elected to be mustered out at the nIaca
and Portland was left in the lurcb an
parertly, for the demonstration and the
reception it has planned.
Naturally it was assumed by the citi-
zens of Portland that a muster-out in
San Francisco means the scattering Of
the soldiers and their return to Port
land in comparatively haphazard
way. Senator Simon appears to have
accepted the situation in bad grace.

1HE ten regiments that are now
organizing will present some
features new to the American
military system. The recruits enlist
dor two years and will be United
States, rather than state volunteers.
They will be instructed by competent
and experienced officers, who have
been chosen in the main without re-
gard to political or sectional consid-
erations. Young men who want
taste of military life without spending
five years at it on the one hand, or
going to the front under inexperi-
enced national guard officers on the
other, will find the new system posses
sing many advantages over the old.

viewing the case from the standpoint
of what is polite.
The argument urged upon these men
by the Narragansett Pier coterie is
that, under the present law, the power
lodged with the president, in respect to
this matter of the standard. is far
too great, indeed, that it is perilously
large. Some at least of these rebel
lious republicans are mot soaring"
they are not persuaded that a power
that always has lodged in the presi-
dent has suddenly become an eXecu-
tive peril. So a few of these republic
cans have been declaring in recent in
terviews, and these people so so far
as to say that the proposed policy
is the confession Of fear on the part of
the Narragansett Pier nabobs respect
ing the outcome of the next presidential
election.
The formal action proposed, involving
gold-standard legislation, is likely to
be taken. And that is as well; that
course will carry the free-coinage con-
test, next year, into more congress
sional districts than might otherwise
be reached with the essential issue in
next years national election.
