TnE BASE RALL LEAGuE.

Whatever advantage there may be in
admitting The two Canadian cities, Mon.
tresl and Ottawa, into the Northern base
ball league is not apparent on the sur
face, and il Is doubtful ii there would
really be enough advantage to compen.
safe for the Disadvantages. Montreal
and Ottawa are cities much beyond the
class OF Barre. Montpelier, Burlington,
Rutland and Plsttsburg with respect to
population, and Montreal at least be-
longs with such cities as Rochester and
Syracuse, N. ", when IL comes to repre-.
sentation on the base ball diamond.
That is, Of course, If the first" team
Of Montreal were to enter the league.
And certainly the Northern league does
not want second string representation.
Montreal has been playing in the East
err league for several years, in a class
admittedly above the Northern league,
although deyotees Of the game in YER
mont have been prone to make fair COM
parison Of their teams with the Eastern
league members. Then, besides the dis
parity in sire between the former North.

ern league cities and the applicants, there
is the even greater hndranee Of dis
lance. From Barre, for instance, 0tta-
wa is too far removed for the modest
base ball that the lntercity has been
presenting for The past two years. The
management has not been able 70 make
both ends meet in either season. What
would the result be ii the long trip and
the extra expense OF frequent visits to
Montreal and Ottawa were to be added?
We fear the result would be larger
deficit at the end Of the year. On the
local grounds Ottawa and Montreal
would not prove 50 much Of drawing
card as Burlington OF Rutland, so there
would not be the added profits to meet
the added expense.
A much better policy and more in
keeping with the original intention Of
The Northern league promoters, II seems,
would be staying within proper bounds,
If six teams cannot be secured in Yer
mont and eastern New York, then 90
it with four teams. The net results
win be decidedly more satisfactory than
If we step beyond our depth. Even last
season all the teams strained themselves

ARREST WAS CLIMAX.
Joseph Jordan, Witness in Patrick Case,
on Perjury Charge.

New York, Feb. N. The arrest Of
Joseph Jordan, one Of the witnesses
brought here from Texas to testify in
behalf Of Albert r. Patrick, now in Sing
Sing prison, under death sentence for
the murder Of William Marsh Rice,
marked the climax OF Yesterdays hear
ing before Recorder Golf, on the motion
for new trial. Jordan is charged with
perjury, the complaint being signed by
District Attorney Jerome.
Jordan testified last week that he
overheard Charles i. Jones, Riee's valet,
confess that Patrick was innocent of
the crime for which be stands convicted.
Jordan was closely questioned by Mr.
jerome at the time, and particularly
was asked If he had ever been confined
In the Texas penitentiary He declared
he had never been in prison.
The arrest yesterday followed the APP
pearance on the witness stand Of VIM.
~ Murray, who was u guard at the
penitentiary in Huntsviile, Texas, from
1877 to 1882 Murray said Jordan was
once n prisoner in his charge.
Counsel for Patrick objected To the
arrest al this stage OF the case, say
ing ii would mitigate against the in
tercsts Of their client. The recorder
said he was reluctant to take the ac-
tion requested by the district attor-
ney in a case where he might hereafter
act as trial Judge He advised Mr..
Jerome TO apply to police magistrate.
Jordan was taken TO police headquar-
tiers and win be arraigned today.
Miss Minnie Gaillard, Texas school
teacher, was cross examined and will
be in court again Wednesday, when il
is said Mayor Rice Of Houston, Texas,
