his home in this city Monday evening.
Mr.. Blackman left home on the tenth

Boise, Idaho, where he remained for
seven days. From BOISE, he went to
Helena. Montana, where he STAYED for
a week, and from there went to Salt
Lake City, Utah.
AS a representative of the Fair Mr..
Blackman visited the legislatures of the
three states in the interest of the ap.
propriations and for the Fair in general.
Mr.. Blackman comes home we'll

public sentiment IS in favor of greater
appropriations than were allowed by the
legislatures. He believes that the
amounts now raised will be greatly in
creased before 1905 to help make ii
Fair one OF the greatest events that ever
occurred in the West
Mr.. Blackman found the people
generally more in favor of Portland than
St. Louis, for the reason that it is more

To the Evening Telegram Mr.. Black

A Harmony Building for the four
states in the Lewis and Clark discovery

WAS a notion put forward several times
by very prominent men," said Mr..
Blackman this morning. The four
states, Washington, Oregon, Ids ho AMI
Montana, would thus have common

Fair"
Mr.. Blackman has some old stories to
ell of the legislative methods in
Montana. "First,' he explained,
Montana made an appropriation OF

10, 900 for building. Two thousand
lolars was appropriated for the Lewis

WAR LOOKS POSSIBLE

CHICAGO. December 17.-Dark war clouds
are hanging over the base ball world these
days, and unless dispelled by the most con-
sentative and diplomatic handling at the
meeting of the American League magnates
in this city today they threaten to plunge
the two major organizations into the bitter
est strife ever waged between rival bodies
of club owners.
The publication of attempted bribery
charges to be pushed against Andrew j.
Freedman. owner of the New York National
League team. followed by hints of broken
faith on the part of the McGraw aggrega-
ton and the New Workers intention to play
Outfelder Jones and Shortstop Davis in the
face Of the ruling awarding the players to
the Chicago Americans have aroused the in
d.gnation of the American League magnates
to fever heat.
1t is widely rumored in Chicago that an
ultimatum demanding the censure of the
New York management will be sent to the
National League.
''Censure Freedman and his henchmen or
matum according to a well-known author

Unless this message is couched in the
softest of words. local base ball fans are
of the unanimous opinion that war will be
provoked Immediately.

JEFFRIEs AND MUNRoE.
Champion Willing to Meet the Butte
Miner

The possibility of a battle between Jim
Jeffries and Jack Munroe seems brighter
than ever just now. The miners victory
over AL Limerick in Boston on Tuesday
night has boosted his stock, and the boiler
maker has decided to meet him. Jeffries,
however. makes stipuIations. He wants
the miner to defeat few more of the big
men first, and this Munroe will try to do,
provided he can find opponents.
Jeffries seemed pleased over Munroe's
victory and complimented the miner. Il

THREE-CoRNERED TRADE.
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Detroit Dick
ering for Players

A special from st. Louis says there Is
every indication that the Robisons will close
deal within the next few days whereby
Catcher Bergen. Pitcher Poole and First
Baseman Beckley of the Cincinnati Reds
will be members Of the 1904 Cardinals. The
swap. as planned. means the transfer of
Bergen. Poole and Beckley from Cincinnati
to the St. Louis Nationals: the transfer of
Barclay and Burke to the Detroit american
League) club for cash. and the sale of 'Cy'
Seymour the Reds eccentric centerflelder,
to the New York Giants for 5000.
At present the Cincinnati club is having
trouble convincing the ST. Louis club that
1t would be benefited by the deal. Detroit
wants Burke and Barclay and Cincinnati Is
willing to give ST. Louis Beckley, Bergen
and perhaps Poole.
st. Louis would not mind giving up Bar
clay. but, strange to state. the Robisons do
not seem willing to part with Burke. The
Robisons say they have not had a salts
factory third baseman in many years be-
fore they captured Burke from Pittsburg,
and that they must be sure of having an
other third baseman in camp before parting
with Burke. There the matter stands. AS
soon as the Robisons are willing to toss In
Burke the papers will be signed and the
three-cornered swap completed.
