INDOOR BASE BALL.
A Local League viii Probably Soon
lie Formed.

The indoor game of base ball at the Y. NJ.
C. A. gymnasium last night between the
teams representing the association and the
Business High School resulted, as expected,
in an easy victory for the former, the score
being % TO in their favor, seven innings
being played. There are many tricks and
moves in the indoor game that are not
practiced in a regular game of base ball
on the grass and the practice and strength
ecing that has been given the Y NJ c. A.
make the team indeed formidable. The
Business boys had not played at the game
before, which, of course, was too big
handicap to overcome, while the associa
ton LADS have been improving at pro-
digious rate ever since their first game.
a large crowd of spectators was on hand,
and by their enthusiastic applause showed
they were enjoying the game. IeMatt did
the twirlng for the Y. NJ. c. A. and to his
exceedingly effective work is due the shut
out of the Business team Not a base on
balls was given by him, and, in addition,
but two safe hits We're registered. On the
other hand, Halves, who twirled for the
Business club, was hit almost at Will, and
his support not being of the best the runs
were clicked off by the Y. NJ. c. A. with
almost monOtOnOuS regularity.
The recent games of indoor base ball have
attracted considerable attention among the
lovers of sports, and result it is ex
pected that an indoor base ball league will
be formed within the next week or Lee
Matt has Interested himself in the game
and as a result meeting held recent

The BubOnic Plague and New York

From the New York Herald.
Whatever may have been said heretofore
as to the impossibility of bubonic plagu
appearing in New York, ii is certain that
the disease is now at quarantine, and that
more cases may be expected from the same
source. We are told by high authority
there Is no danger of the malady spreading
in such a city as Greater New York, still
il is well to be on the safe side ana take no
chances.
So far as the killing of the germs is con-
cerned, there be no difficulty but as
IL is well known that rats are the common
termination of the vermin short of destroy
ing the ship may be q very interesting
question for the consideration of the health
officials.
1t was very fortunate circumstance that
the real character of the sickness was so
quickly discovered by our quarantine in
spectors and no time was lost in the prompt
enforcement of all the required preventive
Measures. The disease in question, how
ever, has such marked characteristics that
there is very little chance of mistak il
for any other infectious malady The
striking features which are quite common
to all the types Of the plague are the rapid
suppuration of the glands of that body, The
Sigh and persistent fever, the great ner-
vcus prostration and the early collapse of
the patient In spite of the fact that the
victims on Swinburne Island have the dis
ease in pronounced form, it Is gratifying to
learn that so far they are doing we'll with
reasonable hope of ultimate recovery

wHEELER's ADVICE TO CONGRESS.
Vigorous Declaration ON Philippine
Revolt is Needed,

A dispatch from Manila says: Gen.
Wheeler has decided not to return for Con-
gress He is writing a letter to President
Mckinley, with a request that il be for
warded to the House of Representatives.
In the course of interview with a cor
respondent Of the Associated Press he said:
Congress, if it occupies the first day Of
the session in passing a resolution declaring
in unmiStakable terms that the sovereignty
of the United States is to be maintained in
the Philippines, thus dispeling Aguina lido :
deiusion that the anti-imperialists can as
sist him, will be performing a sacred duty.
Such a resolution would save the lives of
many American soldiers and of thousa nds
of deluded Filipinos, would avert famine,
suffering and desolation from these islands.
and would render unnecessary the exIJJ rli-
ture of hundreds of millions of dollars"

Democrats' Only Hope Now is to
Throw Louisville Out.

4 dispatch from Frankfort Ky, last
night says: The democratic state campaign
committee comedies that Taylor has plu-
rality on the face Of the returns but bases
a hope of the election Of the democra tie
ticket on throwing out the vote OF Louis
vile. on account Of Interference of Gov
ernor Bradley's soldiers and johnson and
Knox counties, where the tissue ballots
were used. The Kentucky election law
plainly provinces for a secret ballot. and
the republicans admit that they are not
as well fortified in the defense Of their
interests in Johnson and Knox counties
cases as might be, but do not credit to any
extent the democratic claim regarding
Louisville. In fact, they assert that should
Louisville be thrown out on the preteNt
claimed, they have assurances that Gov
ernor Bradley will back them in resistance.
which they say is already fully planned.
GoebeI managers announce they Will not
take an appeal from the decision Of Judge
Jones at Glasgow, where 1,1S5 majority Of
Nelson county votes enormously certified
for w. P Taylor were ordered counted for
W. ,. Taylor In this state of the case the
vote OF jefferson, Knox and Johnson must
be wiped out to give GOebel a ma iority
but his managers, il is believed, are col
lectn2 evidence of alleged fraud i'm various
republican counties, and will ask the state
election BOARD TO throw out these counties.
Senator Deboe came back tonight and is
supposed to be in direct communication
with Governor Bradley. though he did sot
visit the executive office.
