WILLIE PHYLE's CHANCES.
Former st. Paul Pitcher Not Sought
by Chicago.


CHICAGO, Feb. 7-One of President
Harris visitors WAS Billy Phyle. The
chunky pitcher called on the head of the
local ball club to see about his next sea-
son bread and butter. Phyle was offer
ed a contract with a consideration in
Volved which was less than Billy re-
cetved while a minor league payer, it is
said. Phyle is simply reserved, and, so
far as is known, there is no immediate
intention of giving him a chance among
the Orphans twirlers, and the, contract
has been offered him in order to comply
with the regulations of the National
league, and, incidentally, to keep Phyle
from going somewhere else.
Phyle never looked better in his life.
He came direct from st. Cloud, MINI,
where he has been winteTing, and he has
kept in excellent shape ever since the
season closed. He is decidedly dissatis-
fed with his lot and would probab give
whatever he could afford to be released
from Chicago.
Phyle was regarded as one of the I'M
luckiest members Of Tom Burns staff of
players. He pitched several games, and
lost nearly all, and, as a rule, by the
closest margins. Phyle did not believe
that he was treated right either, before
or after the season started, and he and
Manager Burns had several tits The
climax came in Washington near the mid
die of the season. Several players went
out on lark one night. and Burns found
it out. Phyle was not among the rest,
but was sent back to Chicago. From
Aug until the close of the season Phyle
did not draw any pay, it is said.
Whether Phyle can get better terms
than those offered him will probably de-
pend on Tom Lotus Lotus was expect
ed in Chicago yesterday, but Mr., Fart
said he had not seen him Pr esident John
son. of the American leagus, was in Mil
waukee during the day, and it was as
serted that Lotus had been with him to

LESSONS OF WAR.
Foreign Nations Profit by Americas

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The naval an

intelligence is of exceptional interest and
breadth of scope. The leading feature is
an article entitled Recent Tendencies
of Foreign Naval Development and the
Effect Thereon of the Recent War With
Spain," by Lieutenant Commander
George III. Peters.
This article presents in succinct shape
many of the lessons taught by the Span
ish war and utilized by the navies of
foreign nations. Beginning with the
statement that the most striking feature
is the marked efforts now being made by
the important maritime powers to in
crease their naval strength, the article
points out that one result Of the Spanish
war was to demonstrate beyond further
argument that battleships constitute the
real fighting strength of navy, even

vessels have been practically ignored in

their vulnerability, and Germany has

Dickson as receivers, at salary of 81, 600

the property assets, according to sched-

schedule was filed, and none has been
filed since.
March 10, 1888, an application was
made by the receivers to Judge Willis
for an extension of time in which to close
the estate. They were granted eighteen
months The eighteen months expired in

ARCOLA is EXCITED.
Illinois Town Has an Order of Youth
flu. White Caps.
Organized to Punish Those Who In
terfere I'm Their Love Affairs
Want to Monopolixe Ali the
Girls OF the Village.

According TO an Arcola Qll.) CORE
Epondent of the Chicago Record, what
appears to be an organization of white
caps is operating in that city. The
peculiar thing about the organization
is the motive behind it for the protec-
ton of its members against the intru-
sion of outsiders in the affairs of love.
The band, SO far as can be learned, is
composed of young men ranging in
age from Is TO 20 years, who are sworn
TO protect each other, even unto death,
If necessary, in order to keep young
men who are not members OF the band
from infringing upon their rights and
paying attention to the girl friends of
any of the members. The violation of
any of the rules laid down in the by
laws of the organization means severe
punishment to the offender, and swift
Justice is meted out to the young man
who dares to mingle in the love af.
fairs of any member of the band.
Not long ago a young man from the
outside called upon one of the young
woman friends of a member of the
band, and was passing the evening in
her company. a knock at the door
brought the hostess, and the leader of
the band, who had approached, asked
in a pleasant manner if the young man
were present. Receiving an answer in
the affirmative, he requested to see the
gentleman on business. As the young
man stepped out into the darkness he
was seized by the white caps and given
sound whipping and told to leave the
Ms of l.
Another case has just developed in
which the punishment was more Sc
we're. The young man, who was called
from the presence of the girl on the sec
ond occasion, was subjected to the most
brutal treatment possible. A coffee
sack was thrown over his head. his
