The following from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer will be of interest to all
lovers of base ball, and to friends of
Dick Padden in this community: 1T
is learned from q reliable source that
there are several National League
teams after Dick Padden, of Martins
Ferry, for next season. His work last
season was better than ever before and
as manager of the Chicago team he got
wonderful results from an aggregation
that was not above the average. This
could not help attracting attention of
the base ball magnates, and the result
is that he is in demand for the coming
season. 1t is known that Boston has
made OVertures to him, in violation of
the agreement, it is said, and the in
formation GENES from a very close
l. lend of Padden that two other lead
Ing National League teams want him.
One of his friends Is authority for the
statement that he has the refusal of
three good berths in the National
League and that CCmiskey is more
than anxious to sign him for his Chi
cago team again. From the same
source it is known that he has not
signed, and will do nothing until the
Players Union decides what they shall
Go. Padden is an enthusiastic member
OF that organization, and will abide by
their decision in the matter of signing.
Should there be a war Padden would
likely stick to Comiskey."
The Base Ball Players Association
will hold a meeting in Cleveland about
February l. Mr. radden will attend
this meeting, and will not make up his
mind which of the offers he will accept
until after the meeting is held.

4 4 BATCH OF BREEZY
SPORTING ;HITCHAT,

At this season of the year college
trainers and coaches are busy with
squads Of men who are anxious to be-
come famous ON the cinder path or on
the field. Gymnastic exercises and
try outs and various indoor meets are
being held to bring The most ilEely
ones to the front. These later on Will
be further tried in the annual duai
meets, and the best of the bunch Will
be selected for the honor of represent
ing their colleges at the intercollegiate
meet next May and at the other i'm
pcrtant events of the summer months.
A larger number of aspirants are iii
training this winter than for several
seasons past The international games
that took place in Paris and London
last year did much to renew enthusiasm
in track athletics. The fact that as
great events will be held next summer
in connection with the PanAmerlcan
exposition has induced many an ath
letically inclined young fellow to go
into training with the hope of obtain
ing place on his varsity team selected
to compete at Buffalo.

Whether Major" Taylor, the Amer
lean cycling champion, and Jacquelin
the premier wheelman of Europe, meet
in this country or on foreign tracks
next season, the contests between the
two men should be the most sensa-
tional ever held.
While Taylor has frequently demon
strated that he is by all odds the tastes,
cyclst in America, it is doubtful if his
abilities as a pedaler have been tried TO
their utmost. He always rides as though
he had good bit of reserve power which
he could draw on in case of need While
Jacquelin is a past master at the Euro
pean style of jockeying in a race and of
going out in the last furlong with a ter
rife Jump it is more than likely that
the colored man will hold his own with
the Frenchman at this game.

years there will be no more interest

in an intercollegiate base pail game.
Ernest Roeber and PAUL Pons are
ready to meet shortly to settle the dis
puted question as to which of them is
really entitled to call himself the wres-
Ting champion of the world. The two
contests in which the Frenchman has
been principal since he landed in this
country have not given much of line
on mis- abilities, and other bouts in
which the two men have taken part do
not much aid us. ROeber was defeated

HEARD WILLIAM J. BRYAN
GUEST OF HONOR AT CHICAGO
JACKSON DAY BANQUET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-William ]. Bryan
was the guest of honor at the annual
banquet of the Andrew Jackson league,
which was held tonight at the Sherman
mouse. 1t had been planned by the local
Democrats that a reception to Mr.. Bryan
should be made part of the days cele-
bration, but during the afternoon a tele-
gram was received from him saying that
it would be impossible for him to reach
the city until late in the evening, and the
reception was therefore abandoned.
MIR. Bryan did not arrive until tonight,
and was driven direct from the depot to
the banquet hall, where several hundred
OF the members of the league and their
friends, awaiting his arrival, greeted
him in enthusiastic fashion.
Mayor Harrison acted as POSTMASTER,
and it was long after 10 o'clock when
he raped for order, and in a neat speech
introduced Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, as
the first speaker of the evening. Mr.. Rose
responded to the sentiment, Party 10y
atty and his remarks were received
with much favor. Samuel Altschuler, the
Democratic candidate for governor of Ilit-
nois in the last campaign, was the sec
ond speaker, and he spoke on 1.-The State
We Live In" He made a clever and hap
py address, as did Judge Edward F.
Dunno, of Chicago, who replied to the
toast, Retrospect and Prospect" Some
of the preliminary addresses were of con-
siderable length, and 1t was after mid
night before Mr.. Bryan, who had the
the last place on the programme, rose to
make his address.

CONSIDERED PROBABLE THAT ALL
ON BOARD ARE DOOMED

MARSEIILES, Jan. 8.-A terrible dis
aster threatens the mail steamer RussIe.
from Oran, which stranded yesterday on
the coast near the village Of Faraman
during a violent storm, with fifty passen-
gers and crew of forty on board.
She has, heeled to the starboard, and
the waves are sweeping over her. Des-
perate attempts to rescue her COMPANY
by life boats and steam tugs We're MADE
yesterday and were repeated today, but
thus far the rough seas have prevented
every effort to get near her. The wind
is blowing a hurricane, with no signs Of
abating. great crowd is assembled
along the shores, excitedly watching the
endeaVors to rescue those on the Ship
which is humping heavily on the rocks
as the seas dash over her. Rockets
have been fired, but each time the line
has, fallen short. Rear Admiral Bessan
naval prefect of Marseiiles, has tele-
graphed to Toulon for the dispatch of the
powerful tug Cravilier to the wreck i'm

AS darkness fell this evening the au-
thorities were assembled on shore, and
the lifeboats were lying off awaiting the
first opportunity to. effect rescue, but
the latest dispatch from the lighthouse
keeper at Faraman describes the position
of the steamer as hopeless 1t is proba-
Bile that the vessel and all on board will

ARE EXPECTING A BATTLE
COLOMBIAN INsURGENTs REPORT
ED APPROACHING PANAMA.

ED APPROACHING PANAMA.
WASHINGTON, Jan S-The state de-
partment received a dispatch today from
Consul General -Gudger at Panama indi-
eating that the Colombian revolution had
again assumed a serious aspect. He
states that the Colombian government
announces that the revolutionists are ap-
preaching Panama and are making prep
arations for fight which is likely to
occur soon.
There is reason to- believe that the
United States government will adopt
vigorous line of action in case the city
of Panama is attacked or there is any
interruption Of the transit facilities of the
isthmus. Owing to treaty arrange
ment with Colombia the United States
has given certain measure Of protection
over the peaceful conduct Of this traffic
across the isthmus. When Consul GEN
eral Gudger a few months ago reported
the Revolutionists would lombard the
city of Panama, Acting Secretary of
State Hill promptly. sent a dispatch to
Mr.. Gudgery announcing in unusually
vigorous terms that this government
would not tolerate any action likely to
prejudice American interests or interfere
with the rights which this government
had assumed.
The dispatch became public in Panama
and had the effect of putting an end to
the plans of bombardnnent. Mr.. Gudger's
report does not INDICATE that the city
itself is about to be attacked, but it de-
velops by later Information that if there
is any prospect of a bor bardment, the
vigorous procedure of a few months ago
will be repeated.

MANILA, Jan, S.-Several insurgent
companies have been captured and de-

Luzon and Laroe. The camp was can
tured IN the mountains of Marinduque.
A scouting party fthe Fifty-sixth regi-

Arrests Of insurgents continue numer-
ously in Manila and its vicinity.
Faterno and other influential independ-
ent radicals are seeking to develop the
two factions of the federal party. Pa
terno contends that, while the declared
principles OF the party will do for the
present, eventually the Filipinos will seek
fuller independence. Although he will not
admit believing Americas sovereignty is
undesirable, he says he wants the rela-
tions between the Philippines and the
United States to be similar to those of
Australia and Canada with Great Brit
