NEW YORK, March I.— The repre
sentatives of the several base ball
dubs which make up the National
league began the annual schedule
meeting of the league this afternoon at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. They accom
plished very little, however, and after
five hours' deliberation, adjourned un
til 11 iTclock tomorrow morning. Yes
terday tht board of arbitration and
board of directors passed upon tne
standing or" the Sportman's Tark and
Club association, of St. Louis, which
mears the .<t Louis Base ball club, and
When they adjourned it looked as if tho
franchise of the St. Louis organization
was in danger of being wiped out.
When the magnates met today the
first quest inn taken up was the St.
!. tlie muddle, and after a thorough
discussion, in which several represent
atives wete in favor of taking immedi
ate action which would be adverse to
the dub's prospects, it was decided by
a vote 7 to 4 that the report of the
directors recommending expulsion be
received and placed on file.
In view of the fact that the assets
of thf club in question are to be sold
at public auction, i<n. St. Louis, on the
14th instant, it would seem that the
magnates, after a long discussion, had
decided roi lo take action which might
be contrary to law.
Just whether any further move will
be made in the matter during the pres
ent season could not be ascertained
tonight, nut in all probability a twelve
club schedule will be adopted, with St
Louis lpft in.
Cbris Yon der Ahe, who disputes the
right of representation with B S
Muck.-nfuss. of St. Louis, has given his
proxy to Mr. Abell, of the Ballimore-
Brooklyn combination, but it is not
likely that this will benefit him in the
least.
This St. Louis trouble may cause a
postponement of the schedule meeting
through s<'ine legal technicality but
the majority of those interested In
league matters claim that it will not.
SCHEDULES PRESENTED.
Three schedules were presented at
the meeting this afternoon. President
Nick Young, of Washington, handed
In two schedules, calling for three and
fojr trips respectively, and Mr. White,
hesd presented another one, which was
based on a three-trip arrangement. All
three were received and liled by a
unanimous vote.
John T. Brush, of Cincinnati, chair
man of the board of discipline, present
ed a report recommending the exten
sion of power to that board, but the
report was filed, awaiting that of the
committee on constitution and rules,
which will be handed in tomorrow. The
latter will be submitted by Col. Rog
ers, of Philadelphia.

with Eel Hanlon, who will manage the

question, as they parted to meet again,
probably tomorrow.
Early in the day a well-authenticat
ed report was circulated that Andrew
Freedman was about to sell his con
trolling interest in the New York Base
ball club, for $65,000. One of the mag
nate;;, who requested that his name be
reserved, made this statement, and
said that it was authentic. Later In
the day, however, Mr. Freedman and
Mr. Honnell, the secretary of the New
York club, denied the statement, and
said that it had no foundation in fact,
as the selling price would indicate. Mr.
Bonnell said: "Mr. Freedman assures
me that his interest is not for sale, and
if it were, three times the amount
mentioned could not purchase It."
INTERCOLLEGIATE GYMNASTS.
Sixteen Colloue* Will Compete I"
tlie i hnjupton.shl p Games.
NEW YORK, March I.— Sixteen colleges
have entered teams in the tournament for
the intercollegiate gymnastic championship,
to be conducted under the auspices of the'
New York university on March 24. These
colleges are Harvard, Yale. Princeton. Penn
sylvania, Columbia, Cornell. Amherst, Wes
leyan. Lohigh, Lafayette. Swarthmore, Hav
erford. Rutgers, Union, Union Theological
and the New York university.
There have been many gymuastlc contests
among the colleges in the past, but this
will be the first meeting that could fairly
be called a championship ever held in the
United States. One of the causes for the
slow growth of gymnastics' in popular favor
was the remarkable craze for track ath
letics which developed a little over a decade
ago. Previous to that gymnastics held a h!?h
I place in college sports, and an annual cham
pionship would have undoubtedly long since
I been inaugurated but for the introduction of
track and field sports. In the last few years
gymnastics have gained something like their
former prestige, and thpro is little danger
of them again taking a back seat in college
pastimes. In fact, even the athletic enthusi
asts now recognize tho fact that a proper
amount of training on the various apparatus
In the gymnasium will prove beneficial rath
er than harmful to the candidates for tie
track team.
The conditions governing the championship
on March 24 are as follows:
First— Each competitor shall perform three
exercises of his own selection or combina
tion.
Second— Except in case of accident to the
apparatus, no second attempt shall be al
lowed.
Third— The judges shall mark each for
himself, in a ratio to five points for a per
fect performance, taking into consideration:
(1) The difficulty of the exercise. (2) The
beauty of the combination and its execu
tion. (3) The general form of Kie contestant.
Fourth— The winner of the competition
shall be the one having obtained the high
est aggregate number of points, next high
est second and so on.
Fifth— The contestant? in the club swing
ing event shall be allowed to use clubs of
their own selection, and shall be allowed five
minutes for a performance.
FITZ ON O'HOIRKE,
Will Not Do Bu.sine»H Wltfc Lenox
Clnb Manager.
LOUISVILLE, March I.— Bob Fitzsimmons,
looking considerably heavier than when last
seen here, opened to a crowded house at the
Avenue. Fitz is strong as ever in his re
marks concerning everything pertaining to
O'Rourke and the Lenox Hub.
"It, by any chance," 3aid Fitz, "I ever
get in a ring with a man and find out at the
last moment that O'Rourke was mixed up
in the smallest way with the management,
I would throw off the gloves then and
there."
Asked concerning his coming fight, the
cnarnpiou said: "Of course I expect to win
Jim Jeffries I consider the best of all the
big fellows, barring myself."
Bob is disposed to regard the reports con
cerning his age in a facetious light.
•They say," said Bob. 'that I am going
into a decline. Well, my mother tells me
that I am just past thirty-seven, and she
ought to know."
When asked concerning his opinion of Mn-
Coy, Fitz replied that McCoy was undoubted
ly a comer. "All he needs," said the Kan
garoo, 'Ms a few years' experience and
weight and he will make the best of them
know that he is in the game."
Fitz's company has been Dlaying to good
business on his entire tour. He will prob
ably go from here to Washington.
RYAN WOK HANDILY.
Charley Johnson, of Minneapolis,
Beaten by the Syraeunan.
HOT SPRINGS. Ark.. March l.^Sixteen
hundred people witnessed the glove contest
this afternoon between Tommy Ryan, of
Syracuse, N. V.. and Charley Johnson, of
Mil nc-apolis. Both men entered the ring In
good condition, but it was apparent in the
first round that Johnson was no match for
Ryan. Ryan scuned to have measured his
n.an fully in the first round, and in the
second let him do most of the fighting
Johnson forced the fighting in the third
round, but cou'.d not dc much damage. He
received, several stiff jabs in the ribs.
After the fourth Ryan had thp fight his
own way.
In the eighth round Johnson was knocked
down three times by blows in the stomach
ard ribs, and the last time was counted out.
The winner was ehalU-nged at the ring
side by Australian Jimmy Ryan. Tho chal
lenge was promptly accepted, and March 9
was named for the date of the meeting.
NOT IN CHICAGO.
Little Chance of Fitz nnd Jeffries
Meeting There.
NEW YORK. March 1.-Dave Holland yes
terday received, a telegram from the Triangu
lar Athletic club, of Chicago, stating that $500
was now on its way to New York to bind
their bid of $21,000, made for the Fitzsiin
mons-Jeffries fight. Although the offer of the
Windy City promoters looks nice on paper it
is hardly possible that the offer will be con
sidered seriously by tho fighters. Judging
from the recent action taken by the authori
ties of Chicago to prevent boxing matches
between heavyweights there is little chance
of such an important battle being decided
there.
DORRS "WON EASILY.
Knocked Out Pat McDonald in the
Second Round.
_LOXDOX. March I.— Tn a twenty-round con
test at Gateshead. this evening Bobby Dabbs,
the Minneapolis colored boxer, defeated Pat
Mac Donald, in the second rouud. The two
men had met previously, at Glasgow, on
Feb. 22, but the police interfered and arrest
ed both combatants. Dobbs was the favor
ite.
Jn the first round the fighting was very
hot, but in the second the -Minneapolis boxer
soon asserted his superiority and proved
himself far too clever for his opponent. Mac
)onald who was badly punished, was
knocked out just before the conclusion of
tho second round.
■DoSbs Intends to return to the United
States, immediately, where ho -will meet all
corners.

WHITE PINE PRICES RAISED
STOCKS ARE SHORT AND COST OK
MANUFACTURE HAS IN
CREASED
Demand for Lumber Ha* Become
Larger Than lan Be Quickly Sup
plied, and All Future Stock: This
Year Has Been Sold.
A shortage to stocks, with an In
crease in the cost of manufacturing,
is tho cause of the average advance of
50 cents per thousand in all stocks of
White pine recommended by the North
western Lirffiber men's association, at
a meeting held last Tuesday at Minne
apolis. Furthermore, according to
James Kasson, of Jefferson & Kasson,
members of the association, there is a
marked improvement in all wood work
ing lines, especially in sash, door and
box factories.
'The recommendation: of the advance
was due primarily to the fact that it
ha? cost at least 50 per cent more this
season than last to put in logs," said
Mr. Kasson yesterday. "Laborers ape
scarcer and earning more money. They
have been getting $25 to $35 this year
where they earned $20 a year ago. The
demand for labor is better and extends
to all lines employing much labor.
Railroads are paying $2 per day for
men who a year ago would have been
glad of a chance to earn $1 or $1.25.
There has been a corresponding ad
vance in the cost of supplies and the
log output is not as large as anticipat
ed. The intense cold retarded the log
ging operations and there was one spell
of warm weather that caused consid
erable mischief. Many of the camps
on the St. Croix when the warm
weather came on simply cleaned up
the logs that were skidded and broke
camp.
"The stocks on hand at the close of
last year in the white pine industry
were 421,000,000, or more than 11 per
cent smaller than at the close of 1897.
And the stocks then were reduced from
the previous year. This was the re
sult of previously unsatisfactory condi
tions that caused the manufacturers to
limit their operations, to the smallest
practical point.
"The marked improvement to all the
wood working lines has pushed prices
up. The demand is unprecedented in
the sash, door and box lines, and es
pecially for box stock. Car building
also has 'taken a boom. The Eastern
demand has improved and the stocks
at the head of the lakes are all bought
up. It has reached the tfoint where
the coming year's stock has been all
contracted for. The price of the yel
low pine from the South, which is the
principal competitor of white pine, has
advanced twice in the past year, while
white pine has remained practically
stationary. There is also an advance
in coast lumber, with a firm market
and a good demand."
New Fire Engine Tented.
The new flrst-claas fire engine built by the
Waterous company, to be accepted upon ap
proval for the local fire department, was

The Chicago, Burlington & Northern

The change is a matter of bookkeep

but there Is apprehension among the
officials in the St. Paul office, lest the
change may lead to economies in oper

ALTON DEAL CLOSED.
President lUackstone Admits the
Syndicate Is In Control.
CHICAGO, March I.— T. B. Blackstone, pres
ident of the Chicago & Alton road, confirmed
today the reports of the sale of that railroad.
He received from Second Vice President Clark,
of the United States Trust company, with
which the stock was to be deposited, a dis
patch reading as follows:
Majority of stock already deposited, besides
a considerable amount pledged for delivery.
"That is official," said Mr. Blackstone,
''and may be taken as settling the matter be
yond dispute. Nothing now remains for me to
do but to step down and out. They have
got the property and will have no use for me
here."
Notwithstanding Mr. Blackstone's statement
that the syndicate which has secured the
road will have no further use for him, he
may, according tp interested attorneys, be
much in evidence when it comes to carrying
out the financial projects of the new owners.
No new stocks or bonds can be issued with
out his consent, so long as he holds his pres
ent amount of stock tn the company. Under
the Alton's charter, which is an exceptional
one, a three-fourths vote of the entire stock
is required before any financial operations
can be put into effect. Mr. Blackstone owns
considerably over one-fourth of the present
issue, his holdings being preferred stock.
NEW YORK. March L— lt was officially
announced at the office of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,

THE COLDEST FEBRUARY.
Last Month Sow Holds the Record
for Low Temperature.
The records at the United States weather
bureau office, at St. Paul, according to Ob
server Lyons, show that the month of Feb
ruary. 1899. was decidedly colder than usual;
in fact, there was only one corresponding
month during the last twenty-nine years that
was colder than it; the precipitation was
nearly average, and so was the cloudiuess
and wind movement.
Tho average February temperature for this
vicinity, determined from the record for the
last twenty-nine years, is 16 degrees; the
mean for last month is 8 degrees; that for
February 1873 is only 7 degrees, that being
the lowest on record; February. ISB9, aver
aged 9 degrees; any one of the rest since
1870 averaged from 10 to 32 degrees; last
month was unusually cold from the Ist to
the 13th. but after that there was a very
mild spell that lasted nearly to the close rif
it; a comparison of the cold spell mentioned
above was made with the severest one prev
iously had v.-hich was from Jan. 8 to 20,
18SS. during which time the average daily
temperature was 12.2 degrees below zero; the
cold spell lasting for twelve days last month,
about equaled the one in January. 18S8; the
average daily temperature was about 12.5
degrees below zero; highest and lowest tem
perature last month wa3 50 above and 33 be
low zero, registered on the 19th and 9th. re
cpectively.
The average precipitation, determined the
same as tempcratura. }s 0.93 inch; the melt
ed snow and rain for last minth was 0.95 inch.
The driest. February sin;-(. IS7O was In 1877
wheu there was only 0.01 inch precipitation,
and the wettest cfne is credited to 1881, when
there was 2.fi.") inches;, snow of a measurable

SLOT MACHINES SEIZED.
Police Are After tke Devices Which
Teach \ tim.K to Gamble.
Another crusade lias been begun by the
police against tW& slrift machines alleged to
be operating in (ne c*Jty. Acting under an
order from Chief Goas, every patrolman in
the city started out yesterday morning on a
confiscating tour, and last evening fifteen
slot machines of various kinds were piled up
at the central police station, having bsen
seized in cigar stores, at neWB stands and in
confectionery stores. No action will betaken
against proprietors of the places where the
machines wera confiscated, as the police made
no effort to secure evidence as to the actual
operation of the devices. The ground of the
seizures is that the machines are gambling
devices.
The raid was tbo result of numeroua com-
plaints to Mayor Klefer that slot machine*
were running. Incidentally several persons
from whom machines were taken a month ago
have been particularly active, it is said, in
locating other machines and Insisting that

ANOTHER CASE OF SMALLPOX
ASSISTANT HEALTH COMMISSIONER.
PICKS ONE HP IN A SEV
ENTH STREET STORE
Colored Man Who Saya He Landed
In St. Paul Front the West Yes
terday The Other Cases Are Do
ing: Well, Say the Authorities
Unexpectedly Assistant Health Com
missioner Miller last evening discover
ed what is thought to be another case
of smallpox. The afflicted individual
is Kit Carter, a negro, lodging at 246
East Seventh street. A form of errup
tion, suspiciously like the first symp
tom* of smallpox, cavers his body. He
was quarantined in his room and a
quarantine also placed upon the lodg
ing house. There are five other negroes
living in the house, one woman and
four men.
Dr. Miller ran across Carter in a fruit
store ait 173 East Seventh street shortly
after 10 o'clock. The health commis
sioner was purchasing some fruit when
Carter entered the place. Dr. Miller at
once noticed an eruption on Carter's
face. He stopped the negro as he left
the store and interrogated him. The
closer he examined the eruptions the
more convinced was Dr. Miller that
Carter might be afflicted with small
pox. Dr. Miller called Police Sergant
McCarthy and turned the negro over to
the officer with instructions that Carter
be guarded in his room and not allowed
to leave the house. Immediately Dr.
Miller notified Ca,pt. Rouleau of the
suspicious case and requested that
policemen be detailed to enforce the
quarantine .placed upon the lodging
house. Officer Speakman was placed at
the front door, while Officer McCormick
was put on guard at the rear entrance,
both with strict orders neither to per
mit anyone to enter or to leave the
building.
After taking these precautions. Dr.
Miller notified Health Inspector Senks,
who has handled the other recent small
pox cases. Inspector Senks left his
home and called upon Dr. Miller. To
gether they visited the afflicted negro
shortly before 1 o'clock this morning
and made a more careful examination
of the case. Inspector Senks said the
case bore a serious aspect. A more
thorough examination will be made
early this morning, when an accurate
diagnosis will probably result. If it
should turn out that Carter has the
smallpox he will be at once removed
to the pest house.
Little can be learned about Carter.
j He says he only reached St. Paul yes
terday, claiming to have come from
Spokane, Wash. He told the physi
cians that the eruptions first appeared
on his body last Thursday. He says
he has not been about much since
reaching the city, but It is difficult to
tell with how many persons with whom
: he may have come in contact. None of
j the five people in the block with Car
ter, it is said, have been in his room,
or close to him for any length of time.
j The quarantine will be as strictly en
i forced as concerns them, however, as
I upon the subject, until the nature of
Carter's disease is definitely known.
The health authorities say that no
other cases of smallpox have developed
in the districts under quarantine. An
tone Vacci, the Italian discovered with
the disease, on the upper flats, is doing
nicely at the pest house, and no addi
tional cases have come to light on the
flats.
The home of George H. Benton. 167
West Seventh street, is still under
quarantine, but neither Mrs. Benton
nor her sister-in-law has shown any
symptoms of halving contracted the
j disease. Benton Ts quite ill at the pest
house, as the disease in his case is at
its height. Dr. Miller says, however,
that it is more vareoloid than genuine
virulent smallpox, and that Benton
i will undoubtedly recover.
The health department has taken the
precaution to keep under continual
surveillance a number of persons whom
! it is known have come in contact with
the disease, but this is said to bs a
precautionary measure, rather than
one demanded by the presence of dan
ger.
A|(ree to Continue Suit.
Judge Jaggard yesterday filed an ordor
denying a motion to dismiss the eas>e of S.
Jacks vs. John Wagener. The motion was
originally made before Judge Bunn and
' granted on the ground that no bond had bsen
filed. Afterwards it appeared that there had
| been a. bpnd filed and Judtre Jaggard's ordar
Is by stipulation between the parties.
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup Is sure to

The good name of

public by offering plasters which ase not
only lacking in the best elements of the
genuine article, but are often harmful in
their effects.
The public should be on their guard
against these frauds, and, when a plaster
is needed, be sure to insist upon having
the best. When you buy Allcock's you
obtain absolutely the best plaster made.
