Post Is Accepted by Present Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, April 12-Charles w
Allen, at present assistant secretary OF
the navy, will be the first civil governor
Of Puerto Rico under the provisions of
the bill passed yesterday by the house
of representatives.
Toward the close of the afternoon Mr.
Allen was summoned to the White house
by the president, and the formal tender
Of the post was made. Mr.. Allen return
ed practical acceptance. Then the
president and the next governor of Puer-
to Rico spent an hour in close conference
respecting the matters to be arranged In
the immediate future. Owing to the fact
that little moro than two weeks time
intervenes before the civil government
must go into operation. according to the
terms of the act of congress, it was de-
cided that it would not be practicable
to complete the cabinet of the governor
in that time. Therefore, Mr.. Allen will
go alone to San Juan at the earliest pos
sible moment after Secretary Longs re-
turn to Washington. which should be on
Saturday next.
He will put himself In touch with Gen.
Davis, now military governor of the ISL
and and spend a short time in acquaint-
ing himself with the insular affairs, and
in studying the character of the men who
present themselves to his notice as prop
er material for membership of the new
cabinet. The organic act prescribes that
at least seven members of the council
shall be Puerto Ricans.
While the actual appointment of these
officials will devoive upon the president,
Mr.. Aliens observations while In Puerto
Rico are expected to assist materially in
the selections
AS soon as he shall have established
himself and gained the knowledge he
seeks Gov. Allen will return to the United
States. He may leave Gen. Davis in
charge during his absence but in case it
shall have been found possible to COM
plete the formation of the cabinet, or
even If any one member shall have been
appointed then that person will act as
temporary governor.

AMERICAN LEAGUE PLANS.
Were Perfected at a Final Meeting
Held In Chicago.


CHICAGO, April 12.-Magnates Of the
American Baseball league held their last
meeting today prior to the formal OPEN
ing Of the baseball season Of 1900. The
meeting was an important one, as the
playing schedule, prepared by President
Ban Johnson, came up for adoption, and
other important business was transacted,
including action on the peace agreement
between the American and National
leagues, Involving the placing in Chicago
of an American league team under the
management OF Charles Comiskey, the
taking over the National league grounds
in Cleveland as American league terri
tory and the adoption of a general plan
to work in harmony with the major
league. The meeting, which was held at
the Great Northern hotel, was attended
by the officials of the league, including
President Johnson, Killilea and Connie
Mack, of Milwaukee,; Comiskey, of Chi
cago; Manning, of Kansas City; McAleer
of Cleveland; Saulspaugh of Minneapolis !;
Watkins, of Indianapolis; Burns and Stall
lings, of Detroit, and Franklin, of Buff
falo.
All of those present spoke enthusiasts
tically of the prospects of a successful
season, and it was the belief that all the
articles Of agreement with the National
league would be adopted with but little
debate. The season, it is understood, is
to open here April 10, with a series be-
tween Milwaukee and Comiskey's White
Stockings. Comiskey announced that his

senator maintained that his resolution
ought to be adopted. If it were not II
would be the first time in history that
the senate had failed to stand by a ma
ton struggling for liberty. 1t was well

Great Britain-and the senator believed
he had-so long as Mr.. Mckinley oc-
