BASEBALL NOTES.

Thomas Hernon,- well known base bail player, died in New Bedford sud denly yesterday. His last eagagement was with the New London team. He had played ball in California and in many prominent eastern organizations. He was 31 years old.
 President Soden of the Boston club saws he does not believe in the four club idea and declares that Brooklyn, Pittshurg and Chicago will never at, tempt to play ball by themselves. So- den wants peace and is trying to get the Spalding faction to meet his clique in. another conference. But the Spald- ing clubs ara satisfied with the present situation e-- s7-es

 such way that there will be no repeti- l ton of the offense..

Western New, York Tn the Grasp Of
 Another storm # BUFFALO, Feb. 5.-Just when rail- ioad men were beginning to get their trains moving with some regard to schedule time the storm which has pre- vailed internittently since Sunday struck the city again last night with :edoubled fury, With the thermometer near the zero mark and the wind blow Ing a gale, the men who have been struggling to keep street car lines and steam railroads open are almost in despair.
 Mails from the east and west arrived from one to five hours late during the day, but trains from northern Pennsyl- yania points had been cancelled in many instances, and the regular mall service was demoralized.
 No psrishable freight is accepted by the railroads, and very little freight of any kind has been moved.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. D. The whole of western Michigan is be Ing swept by terrific blizzard, the fiercest Of the. year and one of the worst the railroads have had to con tend with in years. Trains from the north were three to five hours late, and the big blows are doing their best to prevent a complete blockade, which seemed likely last night, as the storm showed no signs of abatement, and the snow was drifting badly. Country roads are completely blocked by huge drifts, and the free rural delivery service is knocked out for the first time since it's establishment in Michigan.

WU'S ART CRITICISM.
Chinese Ministers Frank and Un- complim entary Comment on g
 Noted Painters Work.

Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, is noted, for his quaint, plain speak ing. One day he was exploring the Cor coran art gallery, evidently with the idea of impressing on his mind the fundamental difference between the oriental and the occidental brands of art, says Washington report.
 Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch paint CT, happened to have on exhibition in the Hemicycle a number of portraits of representative types of various races. Mr. vos had strayed far afeld in collecting his gems, and the display included the presentments of Thibetan lamas, Indian rajahs; Arabian chiefs, Japanese nobles4 and Chinese manda- rins. Among the latter were the por- traits of Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang.
 The artist, with the diplomat in tow, paused before these canvases.
 "Who is that?" asked Mir. Wu, point ing toward the picture of Ching.
 ssThat is Prince Ching replied Vos.
 .It doesn't look like him." was his only comment, and the party passed on to Earl Ii.
 "Who's that?"
 "That is Iii Hung Chang"
 'sIt doesn't look like him,' said the minister again. "But it's only three-quarters view, you know," said the artist, apo1ogeti- cally.
 Ut doesn't look three-quarters like him." said Wu.

still fiarping on the Chances Of ~s the Big Fellows.

Apparently Champion Jim JeHrfes and Bob Fitzsimmons. are as far apart as ever. The two big heavyweights have not been able to come to terms and d fight between them is as distant as the North Pole. The offer or 70 and % per cent is the best proposition the big boilermaker will make, and he thinks that is extremely liberal in view of the fact hat Fitz believes he can beat him. Jeffries said last night before he started for the Star theater, Brooklyn. where he is fulfilling an en- gagement:
 ss1'm getting tired of dallying with Fifz. and I really don't believe he wants to fight me. never will con- sent to any other proposition than the 75 and 25 per cent one, and if that doesn't suit Fitz I'll drop him. have received no telegram from Delaney urging me to make a match on any terms. No matter what Delaney flieht advise I'll stick to my last offer | don't think the public wants to see any split-ths-purse matches. anyhow.
