GENERAL CORBIN RETURNS.
Greatly Pleased with the Progress
Found iu the Philippines.

Washington, September 25.-Major
General Corbin, the adjutant general
of the army, returned from the Phillip
pines today. While he declined to sub
NIT to a formal interview, he talked
freely Of the condition of affairs in the
Philippines, particularly of the work
accomplished by Generals Sternberg,
Weston and Greely. He was greatly
pleased with the conditions obtaining
in the archipelago, and was particularly
gratified to find the health of the army
so excellent and to see himself evil
dence of the good feeling among the
officers and soldiers. The general is
one of those of the opinion that the
work Of the heads Of staff departments
in the Philippines has been of great
value in the administration Of military
matters.
1t happens that, with the authority
back of him and the full cooperation
of General Chaffee, commander of the
division of the Philippines what would
have been recommendations by Gener-
al Corbin, already have been put into
operation so that the report which he
will submit to the secretary Of war
Will be rather in the nature of things
accomplished. Large economics have
been effected in nearly every branch of
the military service in the PHILIPPINES.

A BASE BALL TRUST
A Company Formed to Control Ath-
1etic Sports and Players.

New York. September 25.-The Even
ing World says:
A great trust in base ball and profess
sional athletics is being organized by
magnates of the National League, head
ed bv President Hart. of the Chica go
club and Andrew Freedman, of the
New York club.
Articles Of incorpation of the National
Athletic Company which is to be the
name of the new combination, have
been drawn UP and the promoters ex-
pect to complete the project SO rapidly
that they will have control of profess
sional athletics before the opening of
the season next spring.
A tremendous saving in expenses and
the abolition of the costly warfare now
waged between rival organizations and
between rival magnates and players is
contemplated.
Whether Hart and Freedman and
their associates expect to seek the con-
troll at once of cricket, athletic sports
and other branches outside of base ball
they will not say.
Mr.. Hart said he knew nothing what
ever about the athletic company and
that his name did not belong among
the organizers.

WESTERN UNION THREATENED
The PENNSYLVANIA VIII Cut 1t Off From
Its System Unless the Goulds Sell
1t Two Big Railway Systems.

Philadelphia, September 23.-The En-
quirer tomorrow will say: "a. ]. Cas-
sett. president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, has demanded of
George Gould the surrender of the Wa
bash railroad system, and the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie at a price which will
net a profit to the Goulds, under threat
of cutting off the whole Of the Western
Union Telegraph lines from the entire
Pennsylvania railroad system, as well
as from the Vanderbilt lines, which
have agreed to the deal. This is a
threat that means a war greater than
any that has ever taken place in this
country, and is comparable only with
that of the Beech Creek and South
Pennsylvania in 1885, which resulted
in the abandonment of these lines ex-
cept as built which were swallowed up
by the Vanderbilts and the Pennsylva-
mia.
1.-The penalty means that the Western
Union will suffer the greatest blow in
it's history and will lose many OF its
profitable lines, which will be turned
over to it's great rival, the Postal Tele-
graph Company. This ultimatum means
more than any other railway deal in
the history of this country. 1t is BE-
Heved that the Goulds will accede to
the demand and that the Pennsylvania
will not only add the necessary 5000
concomitant miles to it's trackage, but
will also get rid Of a rival for the Car
negie steel business. which is the larg-
est factor in the whole matter, result
ing from a contract made by Mr.. Car
negie with the Wheeling and Lake Erie
before the United States Steel Corpor-
alton was founded, and to carry out
which the Goulds were trying to buili
g. line into Pittsburg"

to do away with the office of car dis

II was found that the old arrange

the cities to look after their own cars
was less expensive than the system
which superseded it, and the former
will prevail hereafter.

COLORED FOLKS HAVE
RIVAL CELEBRATIONS.

The colored folks of Rock Island
and Moline. heretofore harmonious
when it came TO a matter Of holding
an Emancipation celebration, are pull
ing in opposite directions today.
There are two picnics on, one at
Huber's garden in this city, and an
other at Concordia park, Moline. In
former years the policy has been to
have an understanding before hand in
order that there should not be two
attractions in colored circles on the
same date.
This year was no exception to the
rule. There was an agreement, but
on the eve of the big event down this
way, the Moline contingent bolted. so
the folks here say, and decided to
have a blow out of their own. not
with the slightest expectation of it
being a success. but just to spite their
neigh bors and keep their people from
mingling with the Rock Island folks.
To make the stunt the stronger the
Moline picnic managers had a decor
ated car advertising the celebrstion
tour the city this morning with a
band.
The Rock Island picnic was started
off this afternoon with a bicycle race
for colored riders exclusively. This
afternoon and evening the picnic is
on at Huber's garden. AT $50 there
is to be q cake walk.
