READY TO PICK DATES.
National League Magnatcs Gather I'm
Annual Session I'm Gotham.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The annual sched-
ule meeting of the National League will
commence tomorrow at the Fifth-avenue
Hotel. The principal matter to be con-
sidered will be the subject Of recognition
of the players by the magnates, which 1t
is thought may avert all danger of a war.
AT the last meeting of the League the
players were refused hearing. The sched-
ule probably will be adopted on Wednes-
day. Another interesting feature of the
meeting will be the possibility of numer-
Gus deals being consummated. The New
York team probably will see many new
faces.
President Charles thinner. of the Pro-
tective Association, arrived in town to-
night and at the earliest possible moment
viii present the players claims to the
magnates. Mr.. thinner says he has re-
ceived formal invitation to appear be-
fore the League and has accepted 1t on
behalf of the players organization
President Young has prepared the play
ing schedule for the coming season, but
it is doubtful whether the document will
be given to the public until the American
League question has been thoroughly gone
over by the magnates.

Mrs Artman, wife of the speaker, was
another of the party.
The visit to the prison was in no sense
an investigating trip. The committee was
not sent by the House and will make no re-
port to that body. The trip was made es-
pecially on the invitation of the warden OF
the prison. The members OF the commit
tee were greatly impressed with what they
saw. Representative Davis, who acted as
chairman Of the committee. said last night
that they found everything In ship shape.
Mr.. Davis was particular.s impressed with
the system of bookkeeping employed at the
prison. He says it is well nigh perfect;
Il talked with a number Of prisoners,

in the prison would fight for Warden Shi-

him and they like him. They will do for
him what they would do for no other man.

as nearly contented as Ii would seem pos

Among the more influential members Of
the Senate is Senator Brooks. When he is

President Kind to a Suspect.
'ashington Letter

From Washington Letter.
 On the occasion of President McKin- ley's visit South after the treaty of peace with Spain had been signed an incident occurred which gave a striking evidence of the innate good-heartedness of the chief magistrate. Secret Service officials who accompanied the President on that tourney were somewhat worried over the importunities of a man who was loiter- ing around the hotel at Savannah. Ga, anxious to see and talk with the Presi- dent.
 Visions of an anarchist came floating through the minds of the officers. and the man was subjected to the strictest surveillance Seizlng his opportunity however, at one of the public receptions the stranger hurriedly told his story to the President, who assured him that 1t should have proper consideration.
 Investigation showed that tho supposed anarchist was a discharged soeser of the Spanish war, who had been stranded at Savannah and desired transportation to his home, in the North Secretary Cor telyou, who conducted the investigation at the suggestion of the President, was satisfied that it was a meritor1ous case. and the veteran was furnished the covet- ed transportation. together with rations sufficient to last him to his destination.
