Arrangements made for Complying
With the Interstate Schedule.
Wheeling and Fort Wayne Players

tore the game is Played-Base Ball
Notes.

The unexpected developments of yes
terday in the courts, left the local base
ball management in an embarrassing
predicament. They are forced to play
in accordance with the Interstate
schedule and their promise to provide
a park for Sunday games.
Last night the situation was discuss
ed, and the manager of the Fort Wayne
team fell in line with the suggestion
that the game be played on the Fulton
grounds. The game is advertised to
begin promptly at 3 o'clock. Bates
will probably pitch for Wheeling and
"Bumpus" Jones for Fort Wayne.
AS a matter of fact there are no n
closed grounds which could be secured,
and it will be optional with the crowd
that witnesses the game this afternoon,
about paying for the privilege. A col
lection will be taken up, and the fans
will pay as much as they please. The
management has been under a very
heavy expense, and the workingmen
and others who cannot witness week
day games recognize and appreciate
the difficulties under which Sunday
base ball is played here.
The most unfortunate thing in con-
ueCllOu Win Tue present phase Oh lno
situation is the fact that without Sun
day games a club cannot be maintained
in Wheeling. The present team rs the
strongest in the League, and as every
body knows, is very expensive. Had
to-day's game been played at the ISL
and park, it would have been wit
messed by the banner crowd Of the sea-
son. Hundreds of lovers of the game
last night expressed their determine
ton to attend this afternoons game,
and encourage the management.
The base ball fans in Oneida, Car
roll county, o., the little town in which
Eddie Poole was born and reared, are
arranging for a big "rooters' excur-
sion on che 14th inst, over the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie road. The Wheel
ing management has promised that
Poole will pitch the opening game of
the Dayton series on that day, and the
Oneida people say that 500 "%rooters"
will come down.

CUBANS MUST UNITE.
Only Way For Them to Preserve
Their individuality.

Havana, Jan. 1A-At a meeting held
in Havana today under the auspices Of
the propaganda committee of the Ma
tional party, Senior Pieta said that
Cuba would always be a bone of con-
tention because Of her situation, and
that the Cubans, if they desired to pre-
serve their individuality, must unite as
one man.
General Sanchez said; Until recent
~ Cubans had feared that the Amer
leans were not going to fulfill the
pledge of the joint resolution Of the
United States congress. President Nc
Kinley has set these fears at rest.
Senior Herrera said: we should look
to the history of the United States and
then we would have no fear that the
promise of independence would not be
fulfilled"
Senior BriOsa said: THE people of
Santiago viii not consent that those
who fought in the revolution shall have
any preference in voting at the coming
elections. If such an attempt Is made
the Cubans ought to refuse to go TO
the polls General Wood has promised
US independence. We should not look
with suspicion upon his actions, but
should trust him, in order, later on, TO
demand the fulfillment Of the prom
ise."
The Matanzas Centre Of Veterans has
issued a circular advocating universal
suffrage as being the only fair sequel Of
the revolution. The work of disinter-
ring the remains of Americans is in
progress at Colon cemetery. The bodies
of seventy have been disinterTed.

ernor Richards of Wyoming. who arriv-
ed in the city tonight, declared he was
much disappointed by the action.
There has been some apathy shown

convention, but Governors OterO of
New Mexico and Murphy of Arizona

question of statehood is occupying
their time.
1T is necessary that something be
done for those great stretches of land,
but there will be considerable Opposi-

in Iowa, Nebraska and other western

pare it for years ahead before it can
