NOT CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.


Washington, Sept. 29.-The war de.
partment Is considering the advis.
ability Of quietly withdrawing the
guar Is from the house occupied by
Aguinaldo In Manila, and allowing
him to have such liberty M he pleases
to take. General Chaffee believes
that this would be the easiest way
of disposlng OF Agulnaldo.
The former leader Of the lnsurrec.
tion is not considered as danger to
the pence OF the elslands, as his follow
ers have given up their arms and sur.
rendered. They pay no attention to
him in captivity, and General Chat
fee believes they would pay no more
attention to him free and at large.
The government does not care to
punish him, and has only kept him
as IA prisoner for his own protection
from The friends Of General Luna,
whom Aguinaldo had murdered.
AguInaldo, however, insists that he
would be safe from attack II allowed
to go free. He still believes himself
the leader of his people. and that
they would all support him and
whatever cause he espoused.
General Corbin has indorsed Gen
eral Chaffee's recommendation and
Secretary Root will act upon It when
he returns to Washington.

AN ATHLETIC TRUST.
Articles Of Incorporation Already Drawn Up
Capital Stock S5O,OOO,OO0.


A great trust In baseball and pro-
fessional athletics Is being organized
by magnates OF the National league,
headed by President Hart OF the Chi
cago club and Andrew Freedman Of
the New York club. Articles OF in
corporation of the National Athletic
company. which Is to be the name OF
the new company, have been drawn
up and the promoters expect to COM
plete the project 30 rapidly that they
will have control OF professional ath-
letics before the starting Of the sea
son next spring. The contemplated
capital stock is $50. 1000, 900.
Presidect Hart Of Chicago first
broached the subject several months
ago. He had first exhausted every
argument to induce his brothers In
the National league to make terms
with the American league. Presi-
dents Brush, Freedman and others,
however, would not join In the har-
mony movement. Freedman at first
was equally averse to the trust idea.
but 1t had so many seeming advan-
tages that he at last Joined with
Hart In the preliminary negotiations.
SOden OF Boston and Rogers OF Phila-
delphia are two Of those 80 far left
out Of the negotiations.
Whether Hart and Freedman and
their associates expect to seek the
control at once OF cricket. athletic
sports and other branches outside Of
baseball they will not say. The main
object Of the company will be to
merge the National and American
leagues.

to look upon the face Of the dead:
Late In the afternoon an aged man,

the sentry to allow him to enter, and
when the soldier refused, saying that
he had received orders to allow NO
body to pass through that door, the
old man stood back the picture Of
woe. In u short time he again asked

When he got inside he had more trou-

step to its side for look into the

New York, Sept. 2s.-In the closest
and most sOul-stirring race ever
sailed for Old Americas cup the
white flyer Columbia beat the British
challenger over a windward and lee
ward course Of 80 nautical miles by
the narrow, heart-breaking margin
OF 80 seconds. As Lipton's latest as
pirant for cup honors must allow the
defender 43 seconds on account OF the
extra S33 square feet of canvas In her
sail area the official record under the
rules gives the Columbia the victory
by one minute and - seconds.
As spectacle the contest was su-

prisoner: "Czolgosz, the court wants

said:
"In that behalf what you have to
