How the National League Benefited
Mr.. Brush in 1890.

From Sporting Life.
In an interview given the indianapolis
sentinel the other day. the good Mr.
Brush forgot himself and gave some facts
not at all creditable to himself about his
famous 1890 hold-up of the National
League (Which Brush loves so welD in its
dire distress. The story told by Brush
himself amply Illustrates the manner of
man the chief cook of the present trust
combine is. Here is the Sentiners story
CLEANED just after Mr.. Brush had given
his sarcastic letter of January to Presi-
dent Spalding:
Mr.. Brush was in an especially pleasant
humor. He recalled the deal whereby In
dianapolis was forced from the National
League. II realized he said, .'it would
cost vast sums to carry on the club under
the conditions here, and it was only for the
good of base ball and the National Leas
| finally consented to sell the club
"Spalding offered $4,000 first, and raised
1t $1,000 at a crack to $4,000. L stood at
that figure and asked a few days to con-
slider.
Previous to going into the spring meet

a good time with some Cleveland friends.
and L had them looking for me- / urged
them to go on with ten clubs and fix up a
schedule, using Spaldings arguments of the
fall. The schedule that was arranged was
the most disgraceful I ever saw.

been taken in and that they had to get rid
of Indianapolis and Washington. as an
eight-club league was the feasible thing.
but just let them sweat. Finally the ar
rangement was made, but not until l was

While l was the ninth member l had
great time I stood first with one side and
then with the other when the owners were

had set, but 1 simply let him hang him

Mr.. Brush forgot to expatiate on how he

A dispatch from Mexico City yesterday
says:
In this mornings session of the PAN

longed their dilatory tactics. The burden
OF their speeches was that all are I'm

must not pass through the conference with
out discussion
Mr.. Buchanan Of the United States Senior
Macedo of Mexico and Senior Bermejo Of
Argentina made speeches, asking in turn,
IF we are all agreed, what il there to dis
cuss?"
At the afternoon session the Chilean del
egates resumed their speechmaking. Senior
Alzamora Of Peru had just risen to reply
when a premonitory trepidation spread con-
sternaion through the assembly. and for
nearly one minute afterward the gflded hall
Of sessions swayed like the salon Of q liner.
The delegates sprang from their chairs and
grabbed their desks In alarm. but were re-
assured by the calmness Of the Mexicans.
Four distinct shocks OF earthquake shook
this city. The shocks were very sharp and
buildings swayed perceptibly.
Thousands OF people rushed from ofiiose
and dwellings into the middle OF the streets
for safety. and many knelt In prayer. Tel
egraph poles bent like trees In a gale OF
wind. and the most massive buildings were
shaken. There has not for q long time
been 30 severe an earthquake here.
The proceedings OF the congress were In
terrupted for fully ten minutes. Members
OF the congress could see from the windows
OF the palace the kneeling crowds on the
plaza
When Senor Alzamora resumed his speech
he alluded In temperate although unmfg-
taxable terms to the differences which
Chile had put in the way Of the convening
OF the conference. and of the obstacles 0hA
10 now making to the transaction OF bug
iness.
Blest Cana OF Chile made an effective an

The session terminated without coming

FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
Petition FavOring Condemnation Z

Land at 10th and Streets.
Accompanying the bill introduced in the
House Wednesday by Mr.. Young of Penn
sylvania for the condemnation of the tri-
angle at 10th and U streets was the fol-
lowing petition:
Your petitioner for the condemnation of
the triangle for a public park at the cor
ner of 10th and u streets, square south OF
loS, shows that he Is the owner of the en-
tire front Of square 1S9, on New Hamp-
shire avenue between U and V streets fac
ing the said triangle, excepting only the
Plot number 20 at the Intersection of u
street and 10th street, which belongs to ex-
Senator Henderson,; that when your pc
tHiOner purchased this land some years
ago the Commissioners Of the District, with
the approval Of Congress, had plotted a
circle at the point of meeting of U street
and 10th street and sNew Hampshire ave-
nue.
This circle was given forth on all the
Official maps of the. District and found its
place in all the official reports. 1t was
attractive 10 this neighborhood, and pur-
chasers were induced to buy land there be-
cause of the promise of this landed orna-
nlent for the future. This was named Han
cock Circle, and it was publicly under
stood that the equestrian statue Of the
general should find location here. Your pc
titfoner actually gave a. preference for an
investment purchase of land as above be-
causes Of his faith in the public off1ciaI
records and that this ornamental circle had
been fixed irrevocably here.
In the course of time street railway
wanted the space where this circle was To-
Gated and the same was removed In VIOLA
ton OF official good faith and to the great
damage Of your petitioner. At the time OF
this change your petitioner made such
remonstrance and protest as he could, but
was siienced by the unofficial promise and
belief from congressman and others that
as compensation for the loss Of the circle
In due time the triangle above referred to
would be condemned and beautiaed as q
public park.
THAT time has now come; and your pe-
titioner requests Congress to repair the
wrong that has been done. That original
circle became q vested right In all the
landhofders Of Washington, and even II
their legal right to have It restored should
be questioned. their moral right under the
circumstances, cannot be.
