Khret , the old Louisville pltchor , wora
signed by Manager Leadloy yesterday , and
will play with the Lambs at Sioux City
today. The addition of these two men makes
the Omaha * every whit as strong , if not
stronger than ttioy wcro at the outset of the
.season , anil the public can rol.v on the stuto-
niont that Omahu can now boa-it of as great
a team as ever represented thu city. It looks
at last as If the date City could once moro
lay solid claims on the Western association
championship , which means a world's cham
pionship series with the National league
nines this full , and the American asiocintlon
champions too , If a now national agreement
is formed. This sweet , would bo gall and
worm-wood to Traitor Shannon , und his dls-
coniforturo would ho moro to the Omahi
cranks thun forty championship lings.
Cincinnati , for the release of Jocko Hal-
llgnn , paid the Omaha management # 1.100 , so
after all the now club has profited some by
the troacliory of its whilom malinger.
1 ho boys will bo hero tomorrow morning ,
and Thursday afternoon will buttlo with the
Cowboys at Lcadlov 1'ark , this city. Tnat
Manager Hob Is determined to fulfill his
promlso to give us n % good ball as was over

Shannon , now goes without saying.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aug. 2. > . A peace con-
forcnco between the representatives of the
National league and the American associa
tion of base ball clubs has bctrun In Washing
ton. The conference ] Is being held to en
deavor to agree upon a compromise pro
gramme and the burial of the hatchet. The
following nro- the representatives of the two
associations at the conference : League L.
D. Brusti of Indianapolis the head of the
Cincinnati club ; Charles H. IJyrno , the presi
dent of the Chlcngo club. American Asso
ciation Louis Kramer , president ; Xach
1'lielphs , president of the Loulsvlllo club ,
mid Chris Von dor Ahc , the president , of the
St. Louis cluo.
Mr. Kramer was chosen chairman and Mr.
Hart secretary. The time of the meeting
was spent in a general discussion of the situ
ation with a vlinv to ascertaining the wishes
of the two organizations as to the desirabil
ity of framing a now national agreement ,
and the varied features of such an
agreement. At 10 o'clock in response
to an inquiry ns to whether
any Information respecting the results
of the meeting would bo madu publio to
night , a member of the committee said that
it 'vould bo uuablo to slvu out anything oftl-
cial tonight , and that the session would con
tinue until midnight.
The members of the American association
hold an Informal conference early today , but
it was resolved that tnoy would not recede
from their former declared position , which
was that the only peace desired was respect
for each other's contracts , n respect for the
rrsorvo clause and an Interchange of exhibi
tion trntncs.
Ttio conference lasted until half-past 13
o'clock , when It broke up In a most ujisatls-
i'nctory way. During the evening dispatches
l.nvo been received announcing that Mike
Kelly of the Boston Hcds hud Jinnnod his
contract with that club and had signed a
contract with a League club. This actioh
of Kelly had the effect to brenn ut > pending
negotiations for the time being at least , and
probably indefinitely , the association repre
sentatives leaving the conference when the
loautuo magnates refused to give them any
assurance that be would bo compelled to re-
innln with the Hcds.
Everything had been progressing flnoly
and a resolution providing In olToct that each
plnvorof every club in both associations now
under contract or on the pay rolls should bo
required to remain with the club , bad Just
been passed , when President Cramer , who
had had previous Intimation of Kelly's
action , called attention of the league
ronrosontitivos to it , and Insisted that
he should bo compelled to remain with the
association club. Ho said that unless assur
ances to this effect wore given , the confer
ence between the two associations could uo
considered nt an end.
The league men , President Kramer said ,
declined to give this assurance , whereupon
the association representatives took their
le.xvo. They informed the league men that
they would remain in town tomorrow.

Senator Mandorso > i has been making efforts
of late to secure thu survey of that part of
the north line of Nebraska on the fortv-thlrd
parallel ( about fifty-live miles ) lying between
thu ICeyti I'aha and the Missouri river In

said today tlfat It was his impression that the

realized there will be less than SiO.OOO.UOO of

after September 2 , the limit within which
they must bo prosnntod for contluu-
nnco. Secretary Foitcr said today
that there will bo no difficulty whak-

ono If necessary , without recourse to the
$100,000,1X10 gold "reserve nnd the $17,000,000

ample to moot all current obligations of the

there is over $ 1,000,000 of that coin lu ttio
treasury In addition to the "gold reserve , " nn
amount In itself suftlclnnt to redeem all the
4'j pur cent that will bo outstanding Septem
ber 2. The secro.tnry said , also , that
amount of public funds in the hands of
hur.sing oflleors Is greatly in excess of tlio
needs of the service , and that ho was consid
ering a plan whereby it may bo greatly
reduced. There Is now , he said , a balance
of STi.OOD.UOO In the hands of the olllcei-.s , fern
n considerable portion of which there is no
immediate need , and it Is his opinion that
this amount could bo reduced to aootit
$20,000,000 and maintained at that flguro
without embarrassment to public business.
