ADMIRAES TROUBLES NOT OVER

Washington Puzzled to Know Whether He
VIII Uutrank Miles sociully- Cabinet May
Decide it.
WASHINGTON December S.-There
is small-sized tempest in Washing
tons social teapot just now, and Mrs.
Admiral Dewey is the cause of it. For
a great many years society in the ma
tional capital has struggled along with
out an Admiral Of the navy and his
wife. Apart from the President and
members of his cabinet, the highest
official has been the Major General
commanding the army, and precedence
at Executive Mansion functions.
Now, however. there is new ele-
ment in Washington society. Admiral
Dewey ranks two grades above General
Miles, and the question which is dis
turbing the few who regulate society
in Washington is whether or not the
Admiral shall be the first to greet the
President after the diplomats have pass
ed in review on New Years Day.
Hitherto that privilege has been ac-
corded to Major General Miles, and
the officers of the navy have followed
the officers of the army That has
been the rule, in fact for the past de-
cade, and a change now will result in
a great deal of dissatisfaction among
army officers The President appreci-
ates the seriousness Of the question,
and he has already called in Secretaries
Root and Long to consult about the
matter.
So far as known he received little
consolation from either of these gen
tlemen, and it is not at all improbable
that the question will be laid before the
full cabinet at some meeting before
the holidays.
Of course the question of precedence
refers to the masculine representatives
of the army and navy entirely. Both
Mrs. Dewey and Mrs. Miles will be
among those who will make up the re-
ceiving party in the White House on

LOUISVILLE PLAYERS
Bought for s25, 600 by the Pittsburg Club.

Bought for $4,000 by the Pittsburg Club.
Sunday Games to He Played.
PITTSBURG, Pa, December S.-The
biggest base ball deal made in this city
since 1885, when Pittsburg purchased
the entire Columbus club, was consum-
mated to-day, and the many rumors
concerning the Pittsburg clubs future
are set at rest Briefly told the story
is as follows:
On October 31st Barney Dreyfus re-
signed as president of the Louisville
club and disposed of his holdings en-
tirely.
Mr. Dreyfus then closed deal with
the Pittsburg management whereby he
became possessor Of goodly sized
block of stock and the assurance of his
election as president at the club meet
ing next week, just after the National
League meeting. To-day Harry Pull
liam, who succeeded Mr.. Dreyfus as
president Of Louisville, came to the
city, and after a conference with
Messrs. Kerr Auten and Dreyfus, an
nounced that he had sold to Pittsburg
fourteen Louisville players, the consid-
Grafton being $4,000 in cash and four
members of the local club. They are
Chesbro, O'Brien, Fox and Madison.
The fourteen players bought from Lou
isville are Clarke, who will be manager
and captain of the new Pittsburg club;
Wagner, Ritchey, Leach, Kelly, Zim-
mer, Latimer, Tom Messitt, Waddell,
Cunningham, Phillip, Flaherty, Char
les Doyle and Woods.
All interested in the deal declare pos.
itively that there is nothing akin to
syndicate ball in the move, but solely
an eIdeavor to put a pennant winner
in this city, which is looked upon as
one of the best ball towns in the coun-
try.
A radical change from the past pod
icy of the Pittsburg club will be the
playing of Sunday games this season.
The new acquisitions give Pittsburg
thirty players, some of whom will
doubtless be put on sale during the lea
que meeting in New York.

INVESTIGATION
Into tho Military Rule Established
by Gen. Merriam at Idaho.


WASHINGTON, December 8.-Rep-
resentative Lentz, of Ohio, to-day in
PRODUCED a joint resolution, reciting
the charges growing out of the pres
ence of United States troops under
Brig. Gen. Merriam at the centers OF
the mining troubles in Idaho, and ask
ing for an investigation by special
committee of nine members to be APP
pointed by the Speaker. The resolu-
ton says that it is matter of gen
eral information that United States
troops were sent to Idaho in defiance OF
and contrary to the Federal Constitu-
ton, at the individual request of the
Governor, when no riot or instruction
existed, and without consulting the
Legislature or the local sheriff. 1t is
asserted that Gen. Merriam declared
martial law and arbitrarily and with
out warrant of law arrested hundreds
of citizens land held them under most
brutal and tyrannical conditions.
The arrests, it is charged, included
many members of the miners union.
and the local sheriff. 1t is asserted
that many men were imprisoned in a
"bull pen, place unfit for human hab-
itation."
Allegation is made that one pris-
oner became insane from the treat
ment, and escaping, was shot as he
Jumped into the river. In another
case, it is charged, dying prisoner
was refused spiritual consolation.

New Year's pay; ana IA that exclusive
circle all share alike the plaudits and
good wishes Of the passing throng.
But each one Of those ilIustrious
ladies would undoubtedly like to see her
husband head the line Of distinguished
soldiers and sailors who pass before the
President on the first day of the year,
so in all probability feminine influence
will have more to do with the ultimate
decision than cabinet meeting or even
the wishes of the President himself.
1t is contended by officers of the
army that while at private. or even
official dinner, the Admiral might pre-
cede General Miles, the reception of
New Years Day is function in which
departments, not individuals, take rela-
tive rank Therefore, the proper place
for Admiral Dewey on that programme
will be at the head Of the naval con-
tingent and after the officers of the
army, who. as usual. will be headed by
General Miles
AS the case stands to-day, and ac-
cording to all precedent, Mrs. Dewey
holds relatively the same rank as Mrs.
Miles, and would naturally be expected
to make the first call on the cabinet
hostesses, the wives of the Supreme
Court Judges and the wives Of Sena-
tors, as we'll as upon Mrs. Long and
Mrs. Allen, wife of the Secretary and
Assistant Secretary OF the Navy re-
spectiyely.
AS the wives Of the cabinet officers
make the first call on the Senatorial
hostesses, as we'll as upon the wives
of the Supreme Court Judges, there
would seem no possible reason to ex-
pect the wife of Senator to make the
first cali on either Mrs. Dewey or Mrs.
Miles.

cred tariff necessary to prevent for

The crack shots of Ohio county and
Washington county. Pennsylvania, as
sembled on the Fair Grounds at West
Alexander yesterday and the Ohio coun-
ty contingent captured the major por-
ton of the honors. The first prize, a
live bear, was captured by Frank
Shirk, of Pleasant Valley. Bruin will
be on exhibition to-day at the City
Building, and will be offered as the
first prize in return tournament
which the Ohio county boys will arrange
for time and place not yet decided
upon. The tournament will take place
within two or three weeks. however.
The trio of city and county officials
met with only a fair degree Of success.
James X. Hall and John Shellhase,
with characteristic modesty. only
agreed to bring home turkey each,
but they took Charles E. Dannenberg
with them to capture the bear. The
turkey contest took place first. Mr..
Hall shouldered a rife for the first time
in twenty years, and accidentally made
a bulls eye, which gave him the first
turkey. The Pennsylvania cracks"
were afraid of him afterward, but he
was never dangerous. The other birds
went to Zeb McCune, Frank Phillips
and Albert Green. Mr.. Hall and R. B.
Plant tied for the fifth, but did not
shoot it off on account of the lateness
of the hour.
The greatest interest centered in the
contest for the bear, which was cap
tured handily by Mr.. Frank Shirk, Of
Pleasant Valley. The contestants fin
ished in the following order, the Ohio

PHILLIPSBURG, N. j., December s.
A company of capitalists, headed by
Thomas A. Edison, has purchased the
John w. Cline farm, at Stewartsville,
five miles from this place, and has Sc
cured options on number of adjoin-
ing farms.
The company has been prospecting
for cement rock for several months
past, and Edison himself has been here
several times. An excellent quality of
rock has been found, and people who
seem to know the inside workings of
the company, say million dollar plant,
with a capacity Of 5000 barrels day,
will be erected. Operations are to be
begun without delay. Warren
county contains rich deposits of ce-
ment rock and two large plants at
Witacre and Vulcanite, few miles
across the county from Stewartsyille,
are working to their fullest capacity
and are enlarging and adding new ma
chinery constantly.
