MANNING HERE TO STAY.
Washington's Baseball Manager VIII
Incorporate His Club.

James Manning. who will direct the for
tune of the Washington club in Ban John
sons American League, arrived in the
city yesterday. and together with Mrs.
Manning is Quartered at the Raleigh Ac-
cording to Mr.. Manning's statement he
has come to Washington to stay. He says
that he has cut out all his baseball in
terests in Kansas City, and will hereafter
be Identified with baseball in no place but
the National Capital.
When asked concerning he frequent ru-
mors Of new leagues in various parts of
the country Mr.. Manning said last night
to Times reporter:
Il can't speak for any league except cur
own. 1t seems as though. according to
the reports printed daily in the news
papers that a new league is born every
day. l don't see. however, how these new
leagues can spring up in night ami hope
to be successful. l don't think that there
viii be any movement on the part OF any
of the leagues except The American 10
place a club in Washington, but. of
course l cannot say definitely. There is
one thing certain that l can say. and that
is I'm going TO put a baseball team in
Washington for the American League
even if there are dozen other leagues in
town.
Il am going to consult my lawyer today
about Incorporation, and the Washington
Baseball Club will be duly Incorporated
at an early date. | have associated with
me in the enterprise Mr. Fred Postal. Of
Detroit. There is no Washington capital
interested. We have not solicited II, but
of course, If there are any people in this
city who want to invest. we viii accom-
modate them.
Il have options on two frst-class sites
for baseball grounds. and work will be
commenced on one of them at an early
date One Of the sites is the plat Of land
at North Capitol and l. Streets which is
known as the circus ground This is an
admirable location, and may be decided
upon.
Il will have my players report about
April l. II the grounds are not ready
at that time they will in all prohabil
ity be taken South for a snort trip"
When asked IL he believed that there
was any foundation for the rumor that
the National League would put a club
In Baltimore in opposition TO the Ameri-
can League club under the management
of Muggsy McCraw and Robinson, Man
ming said that he did not attach much
Importance to 1t for the reason that Nc
Graw and Robinson had such a hold On
the Baltimore fans tnat all the patron
age would go TO the club with which
they were connected.

tives testimony, as Judge Scott had done,
and likewise introduced Judge Scott's
Javert as an exhibit in support OF his
theory. AS 10 the proposition of the de-
fence that it must be proved, and had not
been proved, that the girl died as a result
of the assault upon her person, Judge
Dixon interposed remark.
Judge Dixon stopped Judge Scott with
the statement that he Judge Dixon) felt
called upon to inform the jury that if it
we're found that the defendants admins
tered stupefying drugs to the girl for the
purpose of assaultng her that act would
be construed as a part of the assault, and
that if the girl died from the effect of
those drugs, she died from the effect of
the assault, and that. hence, there should
be a verdict of murder in the first degree.
The weak point in the case for the
State. as shown by the arguments of
counsel for the defence. was that there
was no testimony whatever as a result
of the autopsy that the crime in question
had been committed MIR. Dunn in par
ticular dwelt upon this point. Stating that
the evidence adduced had been rather
that all the organs of the body were found
in perfectly normal and healthy condi-
tion. The three points of the defence
were the discredited testimony of the cab
driver, the unreliable character of detec-
tive testimony, and the failure to estab-
lish any post mortem evidence of an as
sault having been committed.

the scheme.


The Ship Subsidy bill and its supporters
were roundly scored at the regular meet
ing of the District Assembly No. &C.
| Knights of Labor, last night. The fol-
lowing resolution expressive OF the senti-
ments of the members OF the assembly
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas the supporters Of the ship subsidy
scheme have announced through the public press
that labor organizations are in favor of the 80.
called Hanna -Payne-Frye' bill and
Whereas 20 far know RIOT a labor or.
ganizatioE in the country is in favor Of the
Subsidy bill, and
Whereas many labor organizations have already
protected against the subsidy scheme and
Whereas this iaEna-Payne'' bill would give
100000 per year out of the public treasury ior
twenty years 10 cliqGs Oi great corpora
tiOn masnates 10 aid them in creating an ocean
steamship trust which would be greatly injuriou,
to the interests Of organized labor and all wealth

Resolved, That D. A., 66, knights Of Labor
hereby efuriuticay protests against tie passage.
OF the Hanna-Payne Subsidy bill. and we appeal
70 all friends Of labor in the United States Sen
ate and House Of Representatives to vote against
the iniquitous subsidy scheme.
Another resolution was adopted de-
nouncing the railroad bills now pending
in Congress. A protest in the form of a
resolution was made against the employ
ment of any outside labor on the work
that is necessary for the inaugural cere-
monies. The resolution pointed out that
Washington contractors and mechanics
were fully competent TO perform all the
necessary work and that they should be
employed inasmuch as it was largely
Washington capital that was defraying the
expenses of the ceremonies.

AFTER LEAGUE SUPPORT.
Promoters of the American Associa-
tion Meet in New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-An int -mnl
meeting OF the promoters of the Arr erici.n
Association. which is anxious To play
baseball under the protection of the Ma
tional League. was held at Hotel Marbor-
ough tonight. a temporary organization
was effected with w H. Watkins, of In
dianapolis, as chairman. 1t was formally
decided to make up the circuit to include
Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Washington in the East, and Chicago, Mil
wankee. Louisville, and indianapolis in
the West.
committee was appointed to meet the
national board of arbitration at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel tomorrow morning. when a
formal request will be made for protec-
tim under the national agreement. No
delegate appeared from Baltimore. but it
was rumored that C. Ross Kiosterman was
the man. The delegates gave it out that
under no circumstances would they have
anything TO do with McGraw and Robin
son. or any Of the American League men.
This is the hinge upon which the whole
scheme turns. The association has been
gotten up 10 scare McGraw and Robinson
out of the League ana incidentally break
up that circuit
AS far as Washington is concerned, il is
said that Thomas C. Noyes is the prin-
cipal hacker. and that the club is better
off financially than the others.
Getting down to bedrock, the fine hand
of the National League is shown in the
information conveyed to the association
men tonight that they can have protec-
tion if they put up $4,000 for the grounds
and leases in Baltimore. Washington, and
Louisville. together with the releases of
a number of ball players who will not be
wanted in the big circuit this year. This
is the rub that viii cause the association
men pain, together with the story that
the League men are still figuring on
twelve clubs.

THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY.
No New Developments Expected I'm
til the Scorpion Reaches GuanocO.

No new move was made by the Gov
ernment yesterday in the incident grow
ing out OF the reported intention OF the
Venezuelan Government to make forcible
effort to seize the firearms of the New
York and Bermudez Company at the as
phalt lakes in the department of Sucre.
The only information bearing on condi-
tions in Venezuela was contained in a telc-
gram from i. B. Loomis, United States
Minister at Caracas, who said that a
mutiry among the Federal troops in the
Caracas Barracks had been suppressed on
Monday
IT is the opinion of officials that there
is rot likely to be any startling develop
ment until the gunboat Scorpion reaches
Guanoco. the nearest point to the asphalt
lakes. Tho instructions to Lieutenant
Commander Sargent. of the Scorpion. to go
to Guanoco. were not sent out by the Navy
Department until yesterday morning, and
ii IS probable that the vessel will not leave
La Guayra until today. Starting then she
SHOULD be at Guanoco on Monday.
The Government authorities learned
yesterday that Guanoco, which they were
unable TO locate yesterday is a port on
the San Juan River. seventy miles from
the mouth of the stream. The asphalt
lakes are about fifteen miles distant. over
Land. The gunbcat Marietta made a sur
vey Of the San Juan River a couple Of
years ago. ard found it navigahle up TO
GGanoco.
II the Venezuelan Government has been
impressed with the seriousness of the
controversy over the possession of the as
nhait region it has given no sign. The
latest advices on that subject from Min
lister I.oomis indicated that President
Castro was disposed TO be defiant and 10
proceed against the BermudeZ Company
without regard for the attitude of the
