CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

Mr.. j. Earl Wagner. secretary and treas
| urer of the Washington Base Ball Club, ar
rived in this city yesterday evening, too
late to be interviewed on the base ball sit
Uation for the benefit of The Star readers.
When seen at noon today by a Star re-
porter Mr.. Wagner said:
You can put 1t in as strong terms as
you like that should the National League
buy the Washington franchise we will not
be in base ball in this city the coming sea-
sen. No minor league base bail for me-
In 1890 we Went into the Brotherhood
movement; in 1891 were in the American
Association: from that time on to the pres
ent We have been in the National League
and in the meantime have owned the To-
ronto franchise in the Eastern League.
From this it can be seen that we know
base ball from all the angles, and that we
are positive In the assertion that we want
no minor league ball"
Should you drop out of the National
League now, have you any assurance or do
you expect to be taken back into the fold
at the end Of the ten years agreement?
inquired The Star reporter.
positively, no. replied Mr.. Wagner.
The situation is just this: The circuit re-
ducing committee came to me and said that
they wanted to reduce the league to eight
clubs, and that Washington was not
wanted. and they told me to place price
on my holdings. In reply, 1 said that was
sorry w ashington was not wanted, but that
as had always been treated right by them
L would not stand in their way. I then
placed $4,000 as the figures at which /
would SELL Since that time have received
no word from the league in any way.
Knowing that we are not wanted in
the league, 1 then began to look around
for purchasers of my players, and as Mr..
SCden made me what / consider a fair
proposition for Freeman, Dinneen and Bar
ry, concluded to sell. All this talk about
my disposing of the other players is simply
rot. Mr.. Dreyfus expressed a desire to have
heard nothing further about the matter.
LAS to the reduction of the circuit,
know absolutely nothing. l was invited to
the Cleveland conference, but | told the
committee that they knew exactly what I
wanted for my plant, and that there was no
use of my taking the trip to the city by the
lake. Should the league decide to open the
season with ten clubs, | cannot see where
L have weakened the Washington club to a
Kelly or Pat Donovan added to the outfit.
L believe we would be stronger than ever.
II simply went upon the proposition that
the league had made an offer for my hold
ings, and, not wanting me, I decided to
sell the players and get much posi-
BILE out of what belonged to me- There
you have all / know about the base ball
situation.
IF l am thrown out of the National
League the minor leagues will not catch
me, but another eight-club circuit of strong
clubs is different proposition" and with
this parting sally Mr.. Wagner drifted to-
ward President Young's office, where he
had an appointment to fix up the sale of
the players to the Boston club.

DECISION MUST STAND.
President Mckinley's Response to APP
peal by the w. c. r. U.

pcdl ny the w. y. u. U.
Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens. president Of
the National Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union; Mrs. Anna A. Gordon. vice
president at large. and Mrs. Margaret Dye
Ellis. superintendent of the department of
legislation for the society. were granted an
interview by President Mckinley yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Stevens, on behalf of 100000 mem
bers of the W. c. T. u, expressed what
she declared was the general dissatisfac-
ton Of the people at the decision Of Attor-
ney General Griggs regarding the sale of
liquor in the army canteen She appealed
to the President. as commander in-chief of
the army, to right this great wrong" as
surfing the executive of the committee 8
hope and belief that If he were obliged to
accept as final the adverse decision Of the
Attorney General he would give his support
and approval to such further Legislative
effort as might lead to the result desired,
she said, by good people everywhere and
whose wishes were regarded by Congress
, In the passage Of the anti-canteen bill. Mrs.
Stevens stated that there was abundant
testimony to show that the people do not
consider the question settled, and called
upon Mrs. Ellis to present letters which
had been received relative to the subject.
Mrs. Ellis then presented to the Presi-
dent 200 letters received since January !
and addressed to his excellency, protesting
against the Interpretation of the law given
by the Attorney General, these letters be-
ing classified in groups from prominent pro-
fessional and business men and organiza-
lions from all parts Of the country. She
said that in addition to these letters there
were 10000 petitions from churches and
philanthropic societies.
While the reply of the President was most
courteous and expressed his appreciation of
the work Of the W. c. T. u. he stated. in
response to direct question from Mrs.
Stevens. that the opinion of the Attorney
General must be accepted as final. He
wanted 1t understood. he added, that after
the temperance committee waited on him
in July. asking for a reconsideration of the
Attorney Generals decision. he again re-
ferred the subject to that official. who,
after such reconsideration. replied that he
felt he must adhere to his first interpreta-
ton of the law. The President, it is fur
Their stated. said that whenever Congress
shall speak In plain terms on this subject
his part of the government stands ready
to execute the law"
Although very much disappointed over
the Interpretation Of the law given by the
Attorney General, the ladies say they In
tend to keep up vigorous fight against the
army canteen.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l wish to call attention to an article in
The Star Saturday evening, February 3,
stating that Gen. John NJ Schofieid Garri-
son. which is not recognized by the Reg
ular and Volunteer Army and Navy Union,
was chartered Under an act of Congress
This Is not the case Congress does not
grant charters Of this kind. Schofield gar
rison may be chartered under the laws of
the District governing such organizations.
The Regular and Volunteer Army and
Navy Union has been organized since 1883
and has garrisons all through the regular
army and navy. Schofield Garrison was
expelled from this order in 1907 At the
convention held here last October, schofleId
Garrison made application for reinstate-
ment, but 1t was denied.

piece Of the administration. is unhappy.
His occasion for tears is the fact that
Quigg-Quigg, OF New York, knowingly,
and with malice af~orethought and
vicious intent, left out Of the national
Republican platform a plank solemnly
declaring the right OF Congress to gov
ern territory outside of the Constitu-
ton, said plank having been approved,
endorsed, advised and commended by
William Mckinley himself, in justiica-
ton and endorsement of his imperialis-
tic policy. Mr.. Grosvenor goes farther,
and says this particular idea was "un-
fairly and surreptitiously'' suppressed,
which makes the offense worse, and fur
ther, that it was "drivelled out by a
driveller from New York" meaning
Quigg as aforesaid. He also says other
things of like intent and meaning, and
in general and particular indicates a
deep disgust with the situation as 1t
exists. This is a very sad case, and
undoubtedly calls for tears. General
Grosyenor should be allowed to turn on
his lacrymosal fountains to the full,
and pour out his great grief without
molestation.

A CASE OF

The Supreme Court of the State OF
New York has just solemnly rendered
a decision which doesn't amount to the
proverbial row of pins. In the divorce
case of Sprague V. Sprague, the Court
DEGREES a divorce to the wife with the
right to marry as though defendant
were dead, while the defendant is pro
hibited from marrying during the life
of the plaintiff. This is very pretty
and essentially legal and technically
correct, and all the rest of it, but the
defendant, Notwithstanding the judg-
ment and decree of the Court, can lake
a ferryboat to Hoboken or Jersey City,
or a train to some Rhode Island or Con-
necticut town, marry, and return to
New York, and the Supreme Court can
neither modest him or make him
afraid. Neither contempt of Court or
any other proceeding will lie. It's a
strange world, legally as well as other
wise.

A plea for china,s Integrity.


CINCINNATI, o., June 24.-Hon.
John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, was
here to-day. Before leaving for Cleve-
land he said:
I'm restoring peace In China the
United States should be the political
influence to determine the future and
the fate of China. 1t is Americas in1u-
enee only that can successfully solve
this problem and keep China from an
impending break up. America must
stand for the integrity of the Chinese
empire, for we have everything to lose
and nothing to gain by her partition
among the European powers.
con the other hand if America allows
China to be divided the expansion Of
our commerce and the extent of our
moral influence will be absolutely linn
tied by the attitude and policy of the
European nations.
Another interesting point is this:
The United States is the only power
whose leadership and dictation of policy
Russia would accept"
