fact the report of Woods vote sent
to tho secretary of the republican
convention, and the real vote of
Wood, as afterwards polled by its
delegates, upon call of d poll of
each delegate, showed that it's
chairman was counter" for his

EXPLOSIONS IN CONDUITs.
Citizens Alarmed by Several Loud Re-
pOrts-The Damage Done.

No little excitement was occasioned On
9th street, in the vicinity of o and q
streets, between 8 and 10 O'Clock last even
ing by four explosions in the conduits of
the Potomac Electric Power Company on
the street first named. The first explosion
occurred a few minutes after 9 o'clock in
the trap just south of Q street, and short
ly afterwa-d one at the corner of Q street
was second explosion blown fifty feet in
the air falling about thirty feet away. Still
another explosion occurred, and about all
the large trap-covers on 9th street between
Q and Q were thrown off.
The explosions We're accompanied by loud
reports, and attracted thousands of people
to the vicinity. The telephone circuit along
the route was disarranged and Policeman
Green was compelled to communicate with
the second police station by bicycle. The
police reserves, under Lieut. Heffner, were
called out to preserve order. The employees
of the electric company were also called TO
the scene.
A fourth explosion occurred about 10
o'clock. the cover of the trap al 9th and
Q streets again being blown off, several
persons standing near narrowly escaping
injury. After this last explosion the covers
OF all traps were removed. in order to per-
nit the gas in the conduit to escape
There is doubt as to whether the gas was
illuminating gas from leak in the main
on 9th street or sewer gas Policeman Green
ordered number of boys away from the
traps some time before the first explosion,
and it is supposed one of them dropped a
lighted match in the conduit. 1t is said
the officer was on his way to report light
in the conduit when the first explosion oc-
Cured.
The force of the explosions broke many
windows in the neighborhood. the principal
losses being sustained by John W. Hardell

The League Will Drop Washington.

me League Will Drop W nshinStO ton.
That the Washington and Baltimore clubs
are to be thrown out of the National
League. bag and baggage, is almost an as
sured fact, and the circuit reduction COM
mittee of the National League will probably
make a report to this effect within the next
week. Therefore, if Washington is to wit
ness any high-c!aSs ball the coming season
it will have to be under the auspices of the
American Association. a.
President Quinn and his co-worker, Frank
Richter, editor of the Sporting Life, had
almost decided to admit Providence to the
association and declare the circuit COM
plete, but the wishes of McGraw and the
Philadelphia parties were acceded to, and
the option will be held open for Washington
lively little morrey Is needed to place ball
club in this city, and it Is impossible to be-
lieve that local admirers Of base ball will
allow the opportunity to slip by.
1t is estimated that $4,000 Will be ample
to place a club in the American ASSocia-
ton from this city. and as the people are
ripe for something new in the national
game large dividends sure to follow.
New grounds can be secured in the south
both locations being close to ample rail-
way facilities. Several gentlemen of finan-
Cial standing have been flirting with Mr..
Scanlon for several weeks past and there
is a possibility that definite proposals may
come from them under the situation as now
presented. Another possible factor is the
local street railway syndicate. If Washing
ton is not represented in the American As
ISOLATION there will be no ball in this city,
and as a consequence the patronage accru-
ing from each game will be lost by the
street railways.

lists Want Association Club Here.
BIG RETURNS ASSURED

The base ball pot began to sizzle and
boil yesterday, and from this time on i'm
portant moves can be looked for by the
National League and American Associa-
ton Manager McGraw of the Baltimore
club made known the fact last night that
he had decided to throw his influence with
the association, and those acquainted with
the inside workings of, the national game
know full well the Importance of the great
Orioles detection from the National
League.
After McGraw had made known his inten-
tons he insisted upon President Quinn of
the association coming to this city and In
terviewing Michael Scanlon as to the pros
poets of organizing a club in Washington
Mr. Quinn was in this city for few hours
last night. and was closeted with Mr. Scan
Ion the greater part of that time Mr.
Quinn told Mr.. Scanlon that he had called
to see him at the request of the Baltimore
manager and that the hackers of the con-
templated association club in Philadelphia
had also made the same request
When the association was first spoken of
MIR. Scanlon was one of the prime movers
in the scheme, but unfortunate circum-
stances developed through the parties hay
ing the movement in charge in the east
and the handicap drove him over to the
National League. The league scheme fell
through, as a guarantee could not be givea
that the Washington club would remain in
the big league another season. Since that
failure the association has fought shy of
Washington but the eastern hackers there
in, knowing Mr.. Scanlon's position, have
kept him advised to the different moves
made.
Seven clubs now constitute the American
AssoCiation-St. Louis, Chicago. Milwaukee
and Detroit in the west and Boston, Phila-,
delphia and Baltimore in the east. The
eighth city will be either Providence or
Washington. and it is expected that the
next few days will determine the fate Of
this city, as far as base ball is concerned
the coming summer. Providence is in the
position Of a ripe plum. and can be picked
a. any time, but the gentlemen back of the
American Association know the value OF
the national capital as a base ball town.
and under the circumstances. naturally de-
sire its membership.
Mr.. ScanlOn is not in position to put up
the full sum required to start a club in
Washington, but he said to an Evening Star
reporter this morning that he is positive
that should the required backing come for
ward a big return upon the money invested
would result.
