THE CASE or PITCHER GARRICK.

Pitcher Carrick, formerly with the
New Works, but now with the WASH

something to say why he did not sign
with the New York club again this sea-
son. The following letter to the New
York Sun explains itself:
Dear Sir:I have seen statements that
demanded an exorbitant price for my
services this season regardless or the
kind and generous treatment tnat !
have received from the New York
club. These are the facts: Last sea
son they sent me a contract, calling for
81. 500. a very small raise from my 1897
salary, so | wrote the management
asking them to make 1t 81 800. but did
not even get an answer. Rather than
not play ball at all | worked for that
| sum last season, and worked hard
hoping what | asked for would be
made up at the end OF the season, or at
least recognized In this seasons con
tract.
my contract for 1901 called fol
81. 900, $500 more than last season, but
feel that $500 was due me on last sea
sons work. Hence | did not appreciate
the advance, especially rs ! had beef

The minor leagues, which decided
to adopt all of the amendments

National Agreement covers the case.
The minors are therein required to fol-

of 1900. The rule makers in both the

THE WHITNEY STABLES.

There Is no longer any doubt that
william C. Whitney is going into tho
breeding business on an enormous
scale. This Is easily indicated by the
movements during the past eight or
ten weeks at La Belle farm. near Lex

of the navy has named his splendid
acres near this city.
One of the best indications OF the
intentions OF Mr.. Whitney Is the fact
hat In the last three months he has
almost doubled the number OF God
mares on the farm, and this, too, de-
| spite the fact that he has made the
| heaviest sort OF drafts on his Kentucky
estate. These drafts have been sent

WARM RUSSIAN Tributes.
EuIogies of Mckinley in the Press
Comments on Anarchism.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. Ss-The Rus
sian newspapers like those of other coun-
tries. are intensely absorbed in the An
archist side Of the attempted assassination
OF President Mckinley, and they also ex-
press strong regard for the United States
and for the victim of the outrage. The
Journal de St. Petersburg says:
1T is earnestly TO be hoped that civil
lied communities will realize that all that
has been done so far has hitherto missed
the mark and that redoubled energy is
needed in the struggle against anarchism."
The entire Russian press is extremely
sympathetic with President Mckinley and
the American people, and all condemn the
Anarchists unmeasuredly and demand the
adoption of more efficient means for their
repression and suppression. The Journal
de ST. Petersburg. which is edited Oy the
Foreign Office, says:
Everywhere will be felt profound indig-
nation in the presence OF the Odious act
whose author is affiliated with the redoubt-
able international band called Anarchists.
In Russia, where are entertained very
lively sympathies for the American nation,
the sentiment inspiring us as population
is shared sincerely. Mr. Mckinley, before
he was chosen President, was already one
of the most considerable men OF his coun-
try He was reelected by large ma
jority, and had recently announced grand
new projects TO which he intended 10 devote
Ills eutIBleS, anu was preparing " pay a
mediatory role with pacific intentions" The
Journal praises the orderliness and energy
of the American people, attributing an
archism solely TO undesirable immigrants
who abuse the national hospitality.
The BOurse Gazette. with perhaps the
largest circulation in Russia, says: "ES-
teemed universally. faithful in service, ever
true TO duty, simple. modest and sympa-
thetic towards the needy and suffering, Mr..
Mckinley enjoyed extensive popularity as
a private citizen. and his qualities were not
changed by his high station and fame. He
is an example of maniness, uprightness
and -mndedness. of which the great
Republic is justly proud"
The Rossiya brands the murderer as one
of those insane evildoerS who are capable
of any cruelty that would shock humanity.
and who are rejoiced by burst of general
Indignation.

London Papers Full of II.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The attack on Presi-
dent Mckinley completely monopolizes the
attention of the London newspapers this
morning. Page after page is devoted to
long descriptive kilograms from Buffalo
and New York and dispatches from the
continent describing the effect OF the news
there and the opinions of the press. Every
scrap of information in any way bearing
upon the subject finds a prominent place,
while every American of prominence, the
delegates to the various congresses now in
session, and diplomatists are sought out
with view OF obtaining their opinion

The Daily Telegraph takes the opportun-
ity TO print a column dissertation on

torfals rejoicing at the Presidents satisfac-
tory progress and discussing his charac-
ter and influence on the United States
and what can possibly be done to prevent
Anarchist outrages, both in Great Britain
and on the continent, especially ON the
continent. The newspapers exhibit some
bitterness over the fact that the United
States has hitherto declined to be a party
to any international action against Anarch-
lists, and they anticipate that there will be
a reversal of that policy.

new TARIFF SCHEDULE
REVISION OF CUSTOMS DUTIES FOR
THE PHILIPPINES.
Document to BE Discussed and
Changes Considered Before Pro-
muIgation-AnReles Surrenders.

MANILA, Sept S.-The new tariff sched-
ule arrived by the transport Fitzpatrick.
Copies will be issued to the public i'm
mediately for thorough study and dis
cussion. The public desires the Philippine
commission to hold open sessions on
Wednesday and Thursday. when the
changes proposed by the merchants will be
considered. will also the time when the
tariff shall become effective.
The insurgent leader Angeles has sur
rendered, in the Camarines, with nineteen
officers, forty-two men, a number of rifles
and a quantity of ammunition. Numbers of
other small surrenders occur daily. The
only active forces operating now with
any number of men are those of Malver
and Lukban. The capture or surrender OF
the former is expected at any time. The
latter, the Filipinos believe will hold out
long as he is able to get ammunition.
His brother doctor in Manila, says Lux
ban will never surrender.
The commission has passed a law pro-
viding that in future appointments the APP
pointeeS' contract with the United States
shall provide penalties where the appointee
shall resign within two years. These pen
altieS shall include the loss of pay due and
the recovery of money paid while in tran
sit. 1t has frequently happened recently
that persons appointed have quit their po-
sitions shortly after landing here.
