ALL ARE FOR M'KINLEY
NO DOUBT OF HIS RECONCILIATION,
SAYS SENATOR FAIRBANKS.
He Declines to Discuss the Political
Gossip Coming from Je1Nyl
Island NeighbOrhOod.

The coincidence of the visits of President
Mckinley. Vice President Hobart. Judge
Day, Senator Hanna and Speaker Reed in
the same neighborhood in Georgia at this
time has started political tongues to wag-
ging regarding the next presidential nominal
ton Some assertions have been made that
before many days have passed any differ
ences that may have existed between the
President and Speaker Reed will be
smoothed over and that peace will reign.
Such was the gossip yesterday sent out
from Georgia, but Senator Fairbanks can
see but one result to the next Republican
national convention. That, of course, is the
denomination cf President Mckinley. AS to
any prearranged plan for meeting at Jekyl
island, the senator would say nothing, nor
would he discuss the probability or posi-
bility of a truce or whether or not one is
necessary, saying it would be manifest
improperly for him to say anything on the
subject. AS to the next convention he
talked freely and enthusiastically. and said:
II can see nothing at the present time but
the denomination and the election of Presi-
dent Mckinley by an overwhelming plur-
atty. L have never heard any one else dis
cussed or mentioned, and no faction has
arisen in Congress opposed to his renomna-
ton, nor have L ever seen any evidence in
Congress of any attempt or disposition TO
bring any one else out or TO name any other
person. 1t seems to me that the renomina-
ton of President Mckinley will be unani
nous and his reelection almost the same"

HOW THE STATE Is ROBBED.
California People Learning the Oh

The mismanagement of public funds by
the State Harbor Commission received
concrete showing in this paper yesterday,
when the doings of fifteen so-called ''collec-
tors were tabulated. The business of these
men, tor which they receive Slt9 per month
each, is to collect the income of the harbor
front, which amounted last month to $44,-

treasury of the board In large amounts rep

so the harbOr commission appears to think,
for collecting money due the taxpayers.
The sum of 1851 divided between four
teen men would be a fraction over $261. 81
apiece or a trifle less than SSH per day

LEAGUE WITH TEN CLUBS
THE BROOKLYN TEAMS PRESIDENT
EXPECTED To GIVE IN.
Cleveland and Baltimore VIII Then
BE Baseball Towns OF
the Past.

Affairs In the National League have taken
q new turn, and what was regarded few
weeks ago as an impossibility is now about
to be realized. Charles Ebbitts, the pres
ident OF the Brooklyn club. is the only man
who bars the way to the completion of the
deal which will cut the League down to ten
clubs, and he is expected to swing into line
In short order.
Some time ago in an interview John T.
Brush stated as a reason for believing in
the continuing Of the twelve-club league
that all the clubs were bound by the ten
years agreement, which could only be
broken by unanimous consent of all men,
bers.
At that time there were a few disturbing
elements in the situation which made all
thought of unanimous consent out of the
question Since that time the most impor-
tant one-Chris Won der Ahe-has been ST.
fenced, and the only other one, Ebbitts. is
about to be. AS long as Chris Won der Abe
was recognized as having an interest in
der Browns 1t was realized that he would
want not only the lions share of the profits
from any other man who sought to build up
the st. Louis team, but would insist on hav-
ing a voice in the conduct of the enterprise.
This made the chances of Messrs. Brush
OF the club extremely problematicaI.
1t was realized that with the Clevelands
in ST. Louis the town would be money
maker. while with an aggregation Of insists
1t would be a loser and would eventually
have to BIZ dropped. The ten years con-
tract bound the League to Won der Abe,
however, and IL was realized that it would
never be possible to obtain his consent to
cutting Of st. Louis. 1t was felt TO be
equally sure that Won der Horst and Han
lon would never allow Baltimore to be
dropped until they were safely established
IN Brooklyn By the sale of the Browns the
other day Won der Abe was forced out for
good and Messrs. Brush, Robinson ct al,
the probable owners, got the property at a
bargain.
This opens the way for the dropping OF
Cleveland, and Baltimore will follow il Eb-
bits can be suppressed sufficiently to allow
himself the pleasure of being president of
the Brooklyn club without attempting to
take any active part in the running of the
club, leaving that to Hanlon and the suave
Won der Horst
1t has been known for some time that IL
was never contemplated starting the sea-
son with two such hollow aggregations as
represent st. Louis and Baltimore on paper
at the present time. Nothing was lacking
but the consent of those interested in both
towns 10 drop them both. None of the other
team owners cared to fll their engagements
In either town last summer because of the
wretched patronage, and II was reasoned
that IL Baltimore would not turn out for its
team OF remnants. In brief. the condition
Is as follows: IL Ebbitts comes TO time and
allows Hanlon to be the head of the con-
Germ in Brooklyn, Baltimore will go. along
with Cleveland, but If he refuses to do so
both towns will be represented in the cir
cult this summer.
