WOULD BUY FRANCHISE.
Baltimore Amusement Company Men
Consult Won der Horst and Hanlon.

Baltimore, Nd. Feb. Goldman,
Jenkins and Cripps, a committee Of the
Baltimore Baseball and Amusement
company. were in consultation with
Messrs. Hanlon and Won der Horst this
afternoon to determine whether 1t IS
possible for the company formed to
promote the association club here to
buy the league franchise. The result OF
the conference could not be learned. 1t
is said that Won der Horst will be re-
quested to remain one of the owners
and will be allowed to take one-fourth
the entire stock.
The purpose of the amusement com
pany is to keep the team in the Ma
tfonal league until 1901. when the In
dianapolis agreement expires, and then
join the association. Even should the
association start next year, it would
have to go on without Baltimore if
such a deal were made, the company
here trusting to take the place Of some
other city in 1902.

IT is A TRADE.
City Exchanges East Fourth Street
Property With Episcopal Church.

Property With Episcopal Church.
The city council has voted to accept
Canon Maurice ]. Bywaters PROPOSE
ton to trade certain lots in the extreme
eastern part of the city, belonging to
the Episcopal church, for lots on Chan
der street belonging to the city. This
is the proposition over which Council
men Morgan and Canon Bywater had a
misunderstanding a few weeks ago.
The streets and walks committee, to
which the proposition was re-referred
at the request of Mr.. Morgan, reported
last evening in favor of accepting the
proposition Thereupon Mr.. Morgan
called on Councilman Elliott for a
statement as to the relative values Of
the two lots.
when this matter was first referred
to the judiciary committee" said Mr.
Elliott, "the committee didn't get to-
gether, 50 1 went out there to look at
these lots myself. thought they We're
Just across the Fourth street bridge;
but ] walked and kept on walking, in
curing Tor Davis street, and when 1
got down nearly to Tecumseh I found
them. Considering location and every
thing else. 1 think the city lots are
worth $500 more than the others"
The proposition that was first made
to this council" said Mr.. Morgan, was
to lease the city lots on Chandler street
for 81 years. The committee thought
that we might need the lots before that
time for a fire station, and we refused
the proposition Then this proposition
to trade was made. The reverend gen
tIernan came down and talked to me
about it, and 1 told him if he would
pay what the city assessor thought was
6 the difference in the values of the prop
erty 1 would speak in favor of the
trade. Then he had some fun with me.
and being a stranger, didn't like it. .
Mr.. Nettels: I don't know where
these gentlemen get their ideas of the
value of either of those properties II
they think that either of them is worth
$500, it is five times as much as think
they are worth. The lots owned by the
city are not in the right shape to ever
build fire station on them, and while
the others are the right shape they are
a good ways out. Mr.. Bywater told the
committee that the county clerk in
formed him that the church lots were
assessed at II per cent. more than the
city lots, and taking it all together we
thought we could make the trade"
The report Of the committee favorine
the trade was approved by a vote OF
seven to one. Mr.. Morgan voting in
the negative.

New York, Feb. 21.-Scrappy Bill
Joyce. who is in business in st. Louis
recently received his 1900 contract from
the management of the New York club
Joyce's comment on the transaction fol-
lows:
Just as soon as Andrew Freedman

before. There is an indebtedness
amounting to a cool 81, 900 according to

Joyce's business appears to be pros
porous, and the former New York man
ager is able to give his former en-
ployer the laugh.

Such is the announced platform of the
Railway Mems Political union, which
was organized today. There were about
40 men present at the meeting, repre-
senting all branches of railway work,
except the switchmen, and their lack
of representation is explained by the
fact that there was some misunder-
standing as to the time of meeting.
The only officers elected were: A. L.
Vaughan, one of the oldest engineers
in the service of the Iron Mountain,
president, and J. S. Barkman, secretary.
The election of other officers and the
appointment of committees was de-
ferred until the next meeting, which is
called for next Sunday afternoon.

Although it has been announced sew

way to this city. Buck has not yet
arrived here and the strengthening of

the meantime the other league clubs are
buying up available players as fast as
they are put ON the market and the

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Wheat-That the
theories of all men are at times prone
to go astray 10 an axiom which has
been clearly demonstrated In the condi-
ton Of the wheat market for many
weeks past, and the ranks Of the bulls,
which have been steadily depleted as
time went by and encouragement
failed. have suffered a more complete
rout by the downward tendency OF val-
ues this week.
Under the pressure OF that inevitable
monthly liquidation, the hopeless tend
encys of statistics to pie themselves up,
the monopolizing of speculative atten-
tion by a booming stock market, and
the over-ready local element to take
advantage of all bearish sentiments,
wheat values have reached a level low
enough in all conscience to surprise
even the most enthusiastic bear.
The forces enumerated above are still
lief Is in sight toaraise the weight from
the Chicago wheat market.
Speculative precedent calls for the
euSudl uptuTN AlLSI steady OsCllne,
but in view Of the undoubted quantities
of December wheat yet to liquidate it is
doubtful IL this precedent Will be fol-
lowed at present.

the government on corn, which have
necessitated a revision of sentiment.
has reflected upon the action OF the
corr market the latter part Of this

We may expect a crop Of some 100000

Oats-Notwithstanding the weakness
which it's neighbors have experienced,

dependence and staying power. While
the action has been as usual very mod

we'll held long lines.
