Wahiiinoton, March 1.1. An ordet
repudiating tho acts of tho general
land office in the Chicago lako front
cuse. which will probably bo followed
by tho peremptory dismissal of Siln
Lamorcux of Wisconsin, the com
missioner, was signed by Secretary ol
tho Interior Mis-, to-duy. It directs
that all proceedings In the ease subse
quent to tho filing of the application to
locate McKco scrip on this lake front
be rescinded and annulled, and re
quires a new trial before tho new com
missioner, not yet appointed, within
thirty days after notice to all Inter
ested. The action is based upon the opinion
of Mr. Lnmorcux, given out by him to
one of the part es in interest three
days before thu time appointed by him
self for tho formal announcement of
the decision and the notice to the other
interested parties.
The land on which it was proposed
to locnto claims by means of this scrip
is in tho heart of Chicago and esti
mated to be worth from 815,000,000
to 830,000,000.
.hid go Lamorcux left here a week
before the chungc of administration,
the statement being made that ho was
in a critical condition from nervous
exhaustion, and before his departure
he tendered his resignation to the
President In view of to-day's devel
opments it may be that he will be dis
missed. The decision formulated and pro
mulgated by Commissioner Lamoroux,
it is said, at the department, is di
rectly contrary to a decision rendered
by him August .11, involving tho sumo

TARIFF BILL READY.

Canada' Minion Frultlet.
Washington, March ir.. Chairman
Dingley of the House ways and means
commlttco says that the new tariff
bill will be ready to be introduced in
the House Mouday. The administra
tive features have not yet been draft
ed, nor has the reciprocity scheme,
although the features of it are decided
upon. These may bo presented as
committee amendments uftcr the bill
gets beforo tho House?
The hopes of the new Canadian ad
ministration for closer reciprocal rela
tions will be defeated by the -Dingley
bill. Tho Liberal party, under ,Laur

mercial affiliations with the United
(States one of its foremost policies, and
one of the first acts of tho admlnlstra
- tlon wusto send Curtwright and Davie,
to Washington as , commissioners tc
pave the way for reciprocity. Their mis
sion has proved n fruitless one, because
they desired to open the markets of
this country to the farm products of
Canada. 'in their interviews with
Chairman Dingley and other members
of the committee they wefo told, In
diplomatic terms, but emphatically,
that tho design of the new tariff bill
would bo to preserve tho markets of
the United States by adequate pro
tective duties on all farm products.

Several conferences have rcivntly been

was discussed and a decision reached
that some steps should be taken to
prevent the threatened disruption of
what may be termed the reform forces.
The April number of New Occasions,
a radical magazine published lh' Chica

have been in conference in an address
which calls for the abandonment of
old party lines and a reorganization
under the name of tho American party.
Tito editorial proposes a novel
method of forming a party platform
and organization. It suggests that

as a lawyer.
Over at the junction ot Duanc and
Ccntro strcetB is a mlxcd-up group of
old buildlngfl which aro said to have
a bearing on a brief point ot history
in tho career of Burr. It was in tho
house called tho Sixth Ward Hotel, or
perhaps a houso that formerly stood
on that Bite, that Burr used to lodge
a woman named Chancellor. He had
been denounced In unmeasured terms
ns tho wickedest man ot the century
by a Rev. Mr. Morton preacher in ono
of the city churches, and on pretense
that a woman was dying and In need
of spiritual aid, tho Chancellor woman
decoyed the preacher into the house,
where he camo face to face with Burr,
loaded pistol In Hand. The design of
Burr, by some fortunate circumstance,
was frustrated, and the preacher es
caped. Another monument to Burr's trick
ery still exists in that neighborhood,
on the corner ot Reado and Ccntro
streets. It 1b a four-story, building
that covers one of the water tanks' ot
the water company organized by'Burr,
and under the chnrter of which a fa
mous banking institution Is today do
ing business. It wns not so easy In
those daya to got charters from tho leg
islature as it Is today, go Burr resorted
NO. 11 RBADE STREET,
to a trick to obtain this one. He knew
that If he asked for a charter for a
blinking institution tho people would
at once put his scheme down as a "skin
game." fJiV.Clfy ot Now York at that
time was greatly in need of a better

piuiy, but It read "to supply the City o

The water works which were mint
consisted of some underground pipes

Hnrt of the Rules

the following inter

ceived several sug
gestions from al

to the advisability of inserting uch a

Illustration of this conio under my' no
tice last ChrlRtnin'f. Tho manager of
n qertnln eastern team, w man who has
proven his ability by winning cham
plonshlpB, called on mo In my ollleo.
Incidentally he told mo that he had
written to a St. Louis paper making
certain suggestions which ho thought
would ho valuable to mo aB n member
of the Rules Committee. 'I would ad
vise you to read that letter,' ho said;
'you will get a pointer or two out of
it that will do you good.' I asked him
to explain the contontB to me at once,
nnd he did bo. Ho was very much
taken bnck when I handed him a copy
of the rules and showed him his pro
posed amendment embodied therein, it
had been part of the rules lor mrec
years, yet UiIb man, who 1b acknowl
edged lender of bnso ball playcra, did
not know of its existence. Ho nt once
telegraphed to tho people to whom ho
had written, asking them to eliminate
that pnrt of his letter which referred
to the change of rules. Tho troublo Is
thnt tho umplreB do not enforce rules.
If they did It would bo found that no

John D. l'appulau, who has been
signed by the Cleveland League Club
upon Burkett'B recommendation, has
been tho pitcher for tho college nino
nt Worcester for the past two yenra,
nnd It Ib with tho deepest regret that
the "boyB" part with him. Pappalau
came to Holy Cross two years ago from
an amateur team at l'ittaflcld, Miibb.,
writes a Worcester correspondent. He
entered the class of special classics and
was a zealous student. Ho wob the
piido of the team from tho start, and
when Hnrvnrd fell victim to his twirl
ing on two occasions in '95 ho became
the hero ot tho hour with tho collogo
boys. In '03 he pitched 15 gameB, out
of which he won 13, losing only to tho
University of Vermont nnd Yale.
Last year ho pitched 14 games, out
of which ho won 12, losing two to
Brown. Such records ub Uicso could
not help attracting the attention of tho
league magnates. Last year Baltimore
sent him tempting offers, us did nlso
Tom Burns, of thu Springfield League
team. While Pappalau wishes to ac
quire a classical education, the offer
of the Clevelands was so tempting this
year that ho could not reject It. To
eay nothing of Pappalnu's wonderful
curves and delivery, his chief point Ib
the coolness with which ho plnya ball
nt critical points. While nt Holy Cross
he was never known to lose .his head,
nnd when there nro three men on bnscB
be Is at his best. Ho hits been known
J. D. PAPPALAU. -
on such occasions to strlko out three
men In succession, and coaches can
not rattls him. Jesse Burkett, cham
pion batsman of the National League,
says Pappalau Is the best amateur
pitcher In tho business, and thinks he
will bo a great Bticecfs on the Cleveland
team.
Hurit'a Idem.
Umpire Tim Hurst says that tho
League Committee on Rules did not
Blze up the evils of the gamo properly.
Said he: "What Is wanted to fix coach
ing Ib something like this: If u coachcr
at third base violates tho rules he
should be sent to the bench, and no
more coaching by his team allowed at
that hasp during the, balance of the
game. If the man on first base bo also
retired for a similar offense, then that
team 'would he without eoachcra tho
n-mairider of tho gamo. Regarding tho
enforcement of tho pitching rule, I
have g'lmple remedy. It Is to put a
ulab about eight or ton Inches broad,
About eight Inches In front of rrhtxo
P'P V
the pltcher'R feet ought to be. This
slab would prcent IiIh sneaking up, as
he would not be nhlo to pitch it the too
of his shoe got on the slab. That Is
very wimple, In fact, bo simple that the
committee have not been able o sen,
although they were told of It. 1 do not
t-re how the BiiKKCHtloiis of the commit
tee will make, things any better thau
they are at present."
President Kerr, of the Pittsburg CltiH,
also opposid the suggestions of tho
committee. He thinks that thorn ought
to ho two coaches ub usual, and that
they should he kepi under control. He
Ib very strongly opposed to any chunge
in tho rules relating to the pitchers.

A ralr of HuM'Imll Ilrlde.
John J. McGraw, tho popular and
clever third bascmnn of the Baltpior
Club, was murrled tho other evening to
Minnie Koache McGraw at St. Vln-"
cent's Church, Baltimore. After the
ceremony there was a brilliant recop

purents, 1815 Guilford avenue. The
presents were numerous and costly.
All the players ot tho Ilaltlnioro team

Bllver service. Long life and happi

summer that ono error column wu
uncomfortably crowded before U.
seventh Inning began.' Still, I think by
slopping over occasionally St. Loul
might worry along with two. tM.
