eAsE BALL AGAIN.
New England League Circuit Commit-
tee VIII visit Portland.

President Marnane Of the New England
league writes as follows in the Boston
0iobe:
1.-THE sale Of the Worcester to the Eas.
tern league was rather q new feature In
minor leagus baseball, and for the first
time on record put little surplus money
in the hands of the treasurer OF the New
England league.
"Ihe object of the New England league
this year will be to play fun season
through, and every club will hnye to put
up liber nj guarantee to TINT effect The
season will be of about sixteen weeks
duration, starting the middle of May and
closing on Labor day.
1.-The salary limit will be less than
5000 per month and the secretary Of the
league will sign all players. Teams will
keep as close to eleven men as possible,
and when player can prove that he Is
receiving moro than bis contract calls for
no will be given his release outright
among the cities the circuit commit
tee will visit during the next month will
be New Bedford. Taunton, Lynn, Law
renee, Nashua, Manchester, Portland and
Lewiston.
a year ago Portland stood ready to put
a team In the New England league, and
would this year doubtless II the organiza-
ton started out on sound basis. The
plan of having the officers of the league
sign the players was tried ninn years
ago and worked we'll for month or
f,, ks..,a
To boost salaries again. Portland had a
remarkably Hne team that year, composed
of men who had their reputation to make,
but have since made them. The plan of
giving player bin release II he can show
that he is getting over the limitwas
adopted by the Eastern league this year,
and it remains TO be seen how we'll 10
will work 1t ought TO have some effect in
keeping down salaries Putting up o
guarantee to finish the season has never
worked well in the Nav England league,
though 1t ought TO be insisted on. The
trouble has been that the well backed
clubs who were pretty sure to finish any
way would put up their stuff and the
weak sisters would be obliged to pass the
ante A 1890 salary limit is large nough,
but II strictly adhered to, baseball can be
made to pay in Portland anyway. The
outlook doesn't seem particularly promis-
ing In Lewiston. whose splendid ball
park has been dismantled and where new
grounds would have TO be pro vided.
Shortening the season two weeks Is
good idea, but II is question II IL ought
not 10 be shortened couple of weeks on
the other end also. Labor day isn't II
great baseball day anyway. and 1t is
pretty tough work plotting bail teams
through the latter part of August.

HARD TO COLLECT THE BILL.

There are some Indians, not many

the merchandising is done by white men
Formerly, when the wholesale house OF the
city supplied au Indian storekeepcr on

until recently the rcd man could not be
sued Nevertheless in the past the losses
were not SO heavy as might have been sup
posed A lawyer who had marked success
with hard collections in the territory told
this as fairly illustrative Of his strange ex
periences when Indians belonged 20 other
nationalities and could not be reached by
court processes:
"a certain house in st. Louis had been
selling goods on credit to an Indian who
went by the name OF Mr.. lineup, Sud
denly 1t lost track of the customer At
that time the St. Louis firm had credited
him to the amount Of nearly "a, 900. But
while lineup dropped out OF the firms

the territory began to come in from Gus

he had got tired Of lineup and had adopted
the new name.
But don't you know you can't
change your name that wayS' asked him.
Don't you know you are likely to get into
the penitentiary for such a thing as thatv
"Thc Indian said he didn't know he

New York Volunteers Who Served at

ON Guard Duty Until Mustered Out

New York, January 22.-Atter an alb
sence of more than seven months, unuer
the command of Captain Peyton T.
March, the Aston battery arrived in New
York today. During their absence the
men have travelled to and from the fbil-
ippine islands and have seen active ser
vice against the Spaniards under Geneiai
Macarthur at Manila. They marched
from the city June 10, with ~ men ana
three officers. They returned one o1li'ei
and So men. Their loss from death was
five. three dead In action and two from
sickness six were sent home invaiided
and six were discharged for one cause or
another, Two officers remained behind
with the regiments from which they hh0
been detailed for service with the battery,
ons at Manila and one at the Rock Island
arsenal.
The battery arrived at the Grand Cen
traI station Mt & 80 o. m Owing TO She
hour the crowd to receive them was less
than had been expected, but there was
no lack OF enthusiasm among the thous-
and or more who thronged the sidewalk
out side the station when the train rolieu
In. As soon as the train halted In the
Grand Central station, the waiting men,
women and children rushed past the
police lines shouting and waving hags
aud lunches of flowers. The soldiers
jumped from the cars to disappear into
the arms OF fathers mothers. wives ana
sweethearts. After greetings vera over
the bugler sounded the assembly, the men
fell into line and marched ont OF the stu
ton and across the road to the hotel
where breakfast was awaiting them
The men looked well, little thin per-
haps, but it was a sParoness of good ply
sical condition and not Of deprivation.
Col. II. c. Blair. chairman Of the COM
mittee Of parents and briends" presided
at the breakfast. He made speech oil
welcome and thanked Captain March Tor
the manner in which he had taken care
of his men. Captain March IN replying
said his men were most uncommon sol
diers. He had been fourteen years In the
army and would sooner command the
Astor BATTERY than any body OF men he
knew of. In the walks of life from whioh
they came, they knew little of military
tactics, but today they are as good sol
diers as any in the United States army
and the people abroad know that the SOL
diers of the United States army are the
finest in the world. There was other
speaking.
The men were cheered by thousands
who now lined the streets as they
marched to the armory. Arriving there,
che battery was again greeted with cheers
and applause by their friends, who sat in
the gallery above the drill nall floor
They lined up ana answered roll call and
after being assigned to cots were dis
missed to the attentions of their relations.

a H RBOR OF REFUGE.
Cape Porpoise TO he Made One by Cow
ernment.
SPECIAL TO TIE PREss.l

Washington, Jan. 2I.-The War Depart
ment have recommended favorably pro-
ject for the Improvement of Cape Porpoise
harbor so as TO make 1t harbor OF refuge
as well as hsrbor for commerce. While
Colonel Hams was in charge at Portland
he reported strongly in favor of the i'm
proyement of the harbor. Since that
time the place has been selected as the
terminus of the projected Sanford and
Cape Porpolse Railroad.
An examination of the harbor has been
made recently under direction OF Major
S. W. Roessler. who has reported to the
war department, saying:
"The survey was made under the imme-
diate charge Of Mr. Percy ID. Richard
son, a civil engineer in good standing
and active practice in this city, who was
at one time, some years since employed as
Inspector of Dredging under this office.
and who has had experience in hydro
graphic work. The material was found
TO be a mixture of sand and mud-not
hard-and probably easy to dredge.
layer of stiff blue clay was found to exist
near the shore lines of the islands and
lodges, which, MIR. Richardson thinks,
may extend under portion of the hsrbor,
but not to any large extent Rock ledge
was found at three points, at the bar at
the entrance, a ledge abreast of Savern
Island, and a ledge abreast of Bass Island.
TIE entrance TO the harbor lies be-
tween Foley Island on the west and Goat
and cavern Islands on the East. Between
Foley and Goat Islands the width is ap-
proxinately 200 feet between lodges and
the depth ample as far as the soundings
have been taken On a line between Fol-
lev Island and Savern Island the channel
is crossed by ledge of rock having a
cast depth of 1871 feet at low tide for a
channel width of 200 feet. The width of
the ledge between the l6-foot contours IN
the harbor and sea slopes is estimated by
MIR. Richardson at 30 feet At the time
of the survey the ledge was covered by
and to u depth of feet, giving about 10
feet of water at low tide. This is known
as the bar. Inside this bar the channel
wjdens TO about 225 feet and deepeDs TO
10 feev, and its direction is slightly
changed to the northward and then runs
straight about 2700 feet to the wharf Of
the Sanford and Cape Porpoiss Railroad
company.
