Concerning the Club.
GOAL base boll
affairs have finally
reached n point Jus
tifying the publica
tion of it complete
review of the situa
tion , which it Is
pleasing to stnto in
the outset is most
felicitous.
President John W.
Spcns of Kansas
City was hero Fri
day , nnd In con
junction with Manager Uowo completed the
final deal for Omaha's base ball for 1802 , and
In all likelihood n long series years to como.
In the llrst place now grounds have been
secured , by n ilvo-yoar lease , across the river
within Just six minutes' rldo of the corner of
Douglas and Fourteenth streets.
The site , which Is located directly east and
abutting the Council Bluffs ' waterworks
property , on the south side of the boulevard ,
has been designed by nature , apparently , fern
n baseball park. It Includes n tract of
meadow land 450x000 foot , nearly ns largo
ng un ns the old pork north of Lake street ,
this city. Owing to their natural ndaptatlon
but little grading will bo necessary to mnito
the now grounds ns level ns n lloor. They
will , however , bo plowed up nnd rolled , tbo
outlleld , which Is now covered with n healthy
growth of blue grass , needing out little pro-
llmluavy preparation.
With palatial now grand stand nnd acces
sory accommodations completed , the park
will bo ono -.veil calculated to please the eye
sight of both player and patron.
An Imposing Grand Stand ,
The grand stand , for which elaborate
fipocltlcattons are being drawn , will bo nn
imposing structure compared with the old
ono and will bo situated In the northeast
corner , sotnl-clrcular In form , with two
sto rlos. n turret for the scorers and private
boxes for those who wish to Indulge in the
luxury.
This building together with the dressing
rooms and minor structures , In the way ot
Ueachors , board walks , fences nnd so forth ,
will cn'nll an expenditure of possibly $1,500 ,
und work upon the same will bo commenced
Immediately.
The position of the grandstand , the
bleachers , diamond and Hold will bo found
to tally materially with the following dia

Hovunty-livo yards , and for convenience and
easy access , tbo park will not bo surpassed
by nny In the country.
Ampin Tniimportatlou Faollltloi.
The location of tbo grounds across the
river need gtvo no apprehension to patrons
of increased car faro , as arrangements cov
ering this will bo made , the particulars of
which will como hereafter , riio whole plan
I i ; is an admirable ono and cannot fall but bo
popular , as well as unqualifiedly successful.
The additional benefits that will accrue to
'ho management will bo almost countless , ns
the games will diaw ton much greater ex
tent llian'ovor before from Council Bluffs as
well as from this city , and everyone will
readily recognize what this means. Two
cities to draw from , nnd while , tbo club
iiiinuins distinctively an Oinnna in-
btltution , both will derive much
peed from the park being located where it Is.
The Bluffs pooplo'havp already manifested a
YlROious Interest in tbo scheme nnd will nld
iu a solid way toward malting it the greatest
oa o.ball success over achieved horo.
As soon as the citizens on this side of the
big bruise become familiar with all the now
conveniences , the speedy nnd pleasant trip
ucross the river , and tbo admirable facilities
for witnessing tbo games , it Is predicted that
the week day attendance will bo fully double
that of last or any otner year. And on Sun-
duys well , if the hugo park Is equal to the
throiik-B which will assuredly Hock thither
on these occasions there will bo little causa
for complaint from any source.
Blcndorff , tbo architect , U now busily on-
Kiigod drafting the plans and specifications
lor the grand stand and ether buildings , and
vllhln tbo coming ilvo weeks Manager Howe ,
% v ha Is throwing all his energies into the
vvoik , declares ho will have everything in
itiiidlncss for preliminary practice. Kvory
effort , will be put forth to complete the Job at
lee earliest possible moment , and when this
is onto accomplished , It is snfa to say , Omaha
will bavo ono of the llnost ball parks In tha
whole country.
HIIIIIU Cold Ciuli Needed.
So much for tbo work thus dono. What Is
necessary now is for the citizens , especially
tbo business element , to attosuthalr appro-
I'latlon by a hearty co-operation with the as
sociation In the way of raising the amount
tbo cltv will bo modestly called upon to raise.
Kvory business man who can possibly afford
anything , whether ha bo a base ball enthus
iast or otherwise , should cheerfully and
promptly respond with whatever be dooms
justified In contributing , lot It bo however
xmall it may. Omaha U having a healthful
homo Industry crusade , and If tbo now base
ball project doe * not come under this head ,
it would bo gratifying to know what
docs. Tbo city has Duso ball us her
Hinelo summer dlvertlsoinont , la which
nine out of ovary ton men , woman and
children , whether they are able to attend
games or not , ara Interested , and that , too , al (
over the entire country. A city can seouro
for itself no bettor advertising medium , and
in the now circuit forming tbo Western
league this year Omaha will bo thrown into
Intercourse with a now list , Including Indian-
upolla , Columbus and Toledo , llvo cities
which heretofore hnvo had but little ox-
ohanga In the way of either social or eonimor-
ulal amenities. The national game will
uriinj-ttbout a happy change , and every day ,
nlmost , from this on until fall , tha news
paper * of those cities above mentioned , to.
( . other with St. Paul , Minneapolis , Milwnu-
kuu mid Kansas City , will give the Gate City
xuo bei.oQt of favoraolo mention.
Xo Cut I'hrout Wur This War , f
Tharlojo relationship bolwoon the wait-

will k-'ive Omaha renewed prestige , und that ,

custodian of nil funds subscribed , and \vlillo
n comrnlttoo will begin canvassing the city
tomorrow , contribution- * will bo received in
the president's ' name at the Otnnha National
bank.
Another thing must bo berne In mind , and
that Is that Omnha Is the only city In tlio on-
tlro circuit to which tlio loagua guarantees
the running of the club. The league Is put
ting up the buildings , leasing the ground and
assuming all oxpcnen and llabllltv , and all
that the citizens of Omnhn are naked to do
Is subscribe liberally to the small bonus to
which the league Is certainly ontlllod.
As qulto an outlay of ready cash Is nocus-
sary In the start , the llnanco commlttoo of

In the subsequent effort to obtain n faU ,
Gallagher got his man by the nock and tried
to place his shoulders ' upon the carpet.
Glbbs got partly out of the bad position ho
was In aud then Gallagher clutched him
about the nock for n Handhold , With the
fierceness of an Evan Lcwts ho squeezed
Glbbs1 windpipe until the latter , with eyes
protruding anil black in the lace , made u
guttural sound like tlio stilled roaring of n

"Don't murder Him , " "Foul , " "Lot go of
him , " and other exclamations came from the
horrillod spectators.
Billy linker , Glbbs1 second , attempted to

seats for the Uvan-Nccdham coutost at the
Metropolitan rlub has been very largo , und
the management report that very few are
left. As the time approaches and crowds of
sports are arriving , excitement over this
match Is manifest ana naturally .thousands of
dollars will change hands on the rosnlt. Bet
ting is still : n favor of Nocdhani at about 100

The last finishing touches are boinji ad
ministered to both men. They huvo been
below weight far some time , and now only
have to take a moderate amount of exorcise
to be in the best condition. Mlko Couloy ,
who has been looking after Ncodhnm , says

wo'll bo right , in it , and Danny is ready and

got the bundle there will be some of the
greatest scrapping you over saw , and Hynn

his life. New Orleans weather seems to
ngrco with Danny , and I think ha is better

Hyan is lust as confident of victory as bis
mucky antagonist , and bis condition is
worthy of the great work and endurance ho

magnificent .specimen of perfect manhood.
"I am u little surprised , " said Tommy

PAIHS Feb. 20. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tun Bii : . ] Far moro Important
than tbo French crisis are the Berlin riots ,
which were repeated this morning. The
police stations were attacked In several
parts of the city. Whllo tbo guards marched
through Untcr den Linden a poltco o(11 ( cor
was pelted with stones and forced to take
shelter from the Infuriated mob In nn ud-
joining houso.
Snveral thousand unemployed workmen
massed themselves In front of the castle
today. Seeing them there the emperor came
out , wearing the full uniform of the Cuiras
siers , nnd followed by the whole of his stuff
proceeded through Untor don Llndon on
horseback at a foot paco. Ho was cheered ,
but several disturbances occurred whtlo ho
was passing.
Since last night the transmission of all
telegraphic messages in cipher has boon
stopped , nnd It is Impossible to know what
caused the disturbances In question. Fresh
riots are fenrod for tonight. The police de
tachments have boon reinforced ; troops and
police nro massed in the castle , nnd at the
prefecture the police have boon authorized
to use their arms if necessary. They had
done this atroauy , though , without waiting
for instructions wtion charging the mob near
the castle , and many people have boon
wounded.
Kcliablo Information confirms the gravity
of last night's ovunts inHorlln. Tbo present
movement scorns carefully organized. Clr-
culais distributed at various meetings ex
plained that the opportunity bad conic for
plllago. The poltco found this out too late to
prevent tbo partial success of the plan. Many
of the sbops were sacnod , tbo greatest suf
ferers being the tobacconists , bakers and
publicans.
They Hooted the Kinporor.
There has been no interruption of the riot
ing all day. The police were compelled to
mnko a chaigo along Untcr den Linden In
order to clear the npproactios to tbo emper
or's residence , and only partly succeeded In
effecting tliolr purpose. Demonstrations oc
curred , too , in front of several of the banks ,
nnd moro particularly tbo 13am ; of Dresden ,
but tbo most serious incident took place at
! i o'clock In the afternoon , when , on his re
turn from a ride , the emperor was loudly
hooted at by several hundred rlotor.s. The
mounted gendnrmei charged and drove the
crowd into tbo side streets.
Heavy losses have resulted from the pillag
ing of the shops und the municipality will
have to pay 1.000,000 murks damages. Ono
jeweler bad everything in his window stolon.
Twenty thous.ind cigars were stolen from
ono tobacconist. Nothing like those disturb
ances has over boon known In Berlin. Tbo
ncitation whlcn was nt first confined to' tno
unemployed workingmen has spread to the
rest of tno population.
In London and Paris grave international
complications are dreaded. It is feared that if
the disorders last nuti'h longer the emperor
will attempt a diversion by declaring war
against whom is not stated. Hlots similar
in character to those in Berlin have taken
blaco in Danlzis and Brunswick.
Others are feared in Vienna , whore the
misery of the poor grows greater dally. The
.situation altogether is alarming. Germany
seems to huvo come to the end of her
fortunate'period. Events may at nny m'oraont
taito a turn perilous for tbo p'eaco ot Europo.
With a monarch like William all things are
possible.
Cut-not lias Tumid n 1'rcinlcr.
Wo have not advanced a ston toward the
solution of the crisis since yesterday. Last
night M. Bourgeois had agreed to make an
effort to form a cabinet. Today he aban
doned the idea. Jn despair M. Carnet ap
pealed to M. Loubet , an illustrious nobody ,
who represents the department of tbo Dromo
In tno senate. It would appear i.Uat M.
Loubot has been luckier than his predeces
sors. Late tonight it was announced
that n cabinet had been formed with
M. Loubot ns premier nnd M. do
( Jassngnac as minister of commerce. M. do
Froyclnut nnd M. Hibot arc > , it seems to DO
in the ministry be-iidos M. Burdoau and M.
Yiotto. But M. Constnns goes out.
M. Loubot Is a stout , austcro and melan
choly man of-ID , who has done nothinc ic-
marknblc. Ho is n personal frieud of M.
Carnet , whoso seal In tbo Chamber once ad
joined his own. Ho had acted ns n pro torn

Henry of Prussia , biother of the emperor ,
left the castle und drove In nn open carriage
through the Unter don Linden. Ho was
loudly cheered by tbo deiiFO crowds that
moved up and down thostnot.
As the day were on the riotous element
evidently tired out by their long and repeated
efforts to maiio as much trouble as possible
for the police , began to disperse and inalto
their way to their homes. At this hour. 7:30 : ,
tno crowds have thinned and tha streets nro

Would Not Allow Tliiim to Meet.
Late this afternoon tl.e crowd attempted
to bold a meeting on the street In front ot the
Uix'bdonor bank , but the pollco dispersed
thorn without much trouble.
Numerous crowds gathered throughout the
atternoon In the contra ! pirts of the city. As
boon us tbey gathered they wore dispersed
by tbo. pollco for the most part with little re
sistance , but in u few instances herious en
counters occurred und a number of persons
were Injuicd.

Tomorrow U the regular pay day for work

them will Indulge In drink , aud that being
inllamod by liquor tboy will grow uncon

orders.
Strong feeling is manifested fey tlio public
in regard to the state of affairs existing in
this city. It Is claimed that precautions
ought to have boon adopted earlier to sup-
cress tbo outbreaks , und tbo people are m-
dlgimnt at the laxity which tbo authorities
displayed at the outset of tbo troubles in al
lowing themselves to ha taken b.v surprise ,
and by permitting whole streets to bo given
up to tha mob without resistance.
