Kenna's work in the box for Wheel
inc has attracted the attention of prom
anaut ball men, and several of them
have lines out Tor him. One of the
ambitious ones is the irrepressihie
"Red" Mason. of Pittsburg, who came
down to Wheeling yesterday for the
purpose of trying to induce Kenna 10
lump his Wheeling contract, and sign
with the Milwaukee team of the
American League. at a figure which is
said TO be s100 per month more than
Kenna is receiving here.
Kenna was hunted up by Mason, and
the two held a conference, in which
Mason's persuasive %eloquence failed TO
have the desired effect. Kama declined
70 jump his contract. Mason was dis
appointed. but has decided to remain
here until to-day, ana try again to
secure him for Milwaukee.
F. NJ. Knowles, secretary of the New
York club, OF the National League, is
another base ball man who has his
eve on Kenna. He came to Wheeling
Eriday night and saw Kenna pitch the
first game Saturday afternoon. He de-
parted for New York after the game.
Kenna will probably decide to finish
the season in Wheeling. inasmuoh as
he realizes that the experience he will
get In the Western Association will
prove invaluable to him in the event
that ne subsequently enters faster COM
pany.

JEFFERSON HOTEL BURNED.
Inmates Dragged From Their Beds
 While Aslepe.

Richmond. Va, March 3O.-The Jef- ferson hotel, erected by the late Lewis Ginter at Il cost of $1,O0OOOO. was burned early this morning. Flames were discovered in the Main street front shortly before midnight The fire spread rapidly, and there was much difficulty in getting out the guests, but all escaped. At o'clock all hope of saving any part of the ho- tel was abandoned.
 The hotel covered half block in the fashionable part of the city, was built Of buff brick and granite foundation and was regarded as semi-tireproof There were insthe hotel many fine works of are. including Valentines marble statue of Jefferson. The in surance is about S65OOOO.
 An effort was made by the hotel at taches to stop the fire in the early stages, but the hotel hose burst and at once the flames spread rapidly all over the building. Messengers were at once started through the building To awaken the guests. Many of them had to be dragged from their beds Nothlng was left of the building but the TWO large tower clocks.

A LATE AWAKENING,

The fact. says the Boston Herald. that the republican state committee of Connecticut has voted that it is eX- pedient to change the present system of town representation in the legisla- ture is q symptom that the republicans or that state have at last come to the conclusion that it is not safe to con- tinue to support anything so iniUuitous longer. There appears to be d gen uine fear that. if some action is not taken. the democrats. with all the dis advantages under which they labor. may actually succeed in revolutioniZ- Ing Connecticut. The Hartford Cour- ant. also. has become an earnest SUD- porter of the reform in representation. and it warns the republicans that it will not do to uphold system so glar- lngly inequitable. This is a late awakening, but it is urged not that the time has fully come when it is too great risk on party grounds to con tlnue the control of the state in the hands of a minority.

vantage; and but for the generalship of Culme-Seymour, OXford's stroke, it might easily have given the race to the light blue.
 As it was, the spectators were treat ed to rare race. the rivals leading all ternataely until they reached Thorney- croft's, where it looked as if the odds were on Cambridge.
 Shortly afterwards, however, Culme- Seymour called upon his men, and a desperate race ensued along the banks Dy the meadows.
 Cambridge. though distressed, re- piled splendidly to the OXonians' chal- lenge. and shot by Barnes Bridge look ing like winners. It was. however. an expiring effort: and Oxford. keep ing an even pace, wore down the op- posing crew and won in twenty-five minutes and thirty-one seconds.
 It was grand race: and both crews were greatly distressed at the finish.

DIARY OF MAJOR ANDRE.
Discovered After Lying Hidden for g
 Hundred Years.


 Hundred Years.
 London, March 3O.-The diary of Ma ior Andre, after lying hidden for q hundred years, has been discovered in England. This interesting find was made by Lord Grey, the other day. while he was going over a lot of old family papers that probably had not been disturbed since the conclusion of the American war of independence.
 Lord Grey's great grandfather was a commander of British troops in America at that time (and Andre served on his staff), and this accounts for the diary being in the possession of the present peer. The diary is ap- parently the original. but in order to make sure that it is not a copy. Lord Grey is sending over to the United States to secure samples of Andres handwriting. none of which can be obtained here.
 The diary is a story of the campaign day by day, during the years 1777-177S. It is simply but interestingly told from the soldiers standpoint. and is accom- panied by maps, apparently drawn by Andre himself and with a skill that would make him the equal of any mil italy hydrographer of to-day
 The diary ceases too early to throw new light upon the motives which prompted the tragic ending of his career, but it gives interesting glimpses of the personality of one of the histor- ical figures of the revolution.

New York. March 3O.-According to a special cable to the Journal and Ad vertiSer from London. along With q petition of DoukObhor women begging to be allowed to join their husbands in Canada. TolStoi has written the fol lowing letter to the ear:
 ''Tens of hundreds of Russia5s best children suffer triAlS as heavy and even heavier under the present relig- iouS persecution. that inconceivable madness which spreads wider and wd- CT over Russia, hut which enlightened men and the government have long come to regard as futile and stupid in justice.
 Il have long felt it my sacred duty to endeavOr before I die to open your eyes to the senseless and horrible cr,,- cities perpetratcd in your name. This touching appeal of the DOukobhor women forces me to delay no longer. Thousands and thousands of men. deeply religious and thus representing the nations truest and chiefest strength. have been brought to ruin. imprisoned in exile or driven forth from Russia
 ake this matter into your hands. Heed not the counsel of the men who lhSti@ated the prosecutions: heed not I'ohledoneStZeff. an evil. obstinate, hard-hearted man, born out of his tune: nor Sipjagin. a short sighted. su- perhcial. unenlightened man: but re- VlSe or repeal all the existing stupid. feDusnant. shameless laws enjoining religious prosecutions. which have long ceased to exist in every civilized country except Russia''
 The Doukobhors are q Russian re- ligious sect. somewhat resembling the ollakers. One of the principal articles of their faith is that all war is wrong, and therefore they have consistently refused to serve in the army.

q Bout. and is Disuualitied
 St Louis. Mo, March 3O.-The wrest- ling match for the amateur middle weight championship of America, be- tween MaNey Wiley of Rochester, N. Y., and Henry Abeken of St Louis, scheduled for last night did not take place. When the men went on for the first bout. the New Yorker discovered that Abeken was greased, and refused to continue. As greasing constitutes a foul according to all wrestling rules, the referee gave his decision in favor of Wiley. Abeken was roundly hissed by the crowd as he left the stage.
