There wai n great crowd at the Collsoutr
la t evening to witness the second sorlo * ol
Douts In the International tug-of-war , and
ni the Interest and cxoUotnont Is ovldontly
on the Increase , a larger attendance thar
over may bo conlldontly depended on froir
this on out. There wa * a largo number ol
ladles among the nudionco last evening , OIK
they seemed to enter Into the spirit of thn
occasion with ns much zeal n the men nni !
clapped their hands and waved their handkerchiefs -
kerchiefs in vigorously and n wildly as the
most enthusiastic partisan present.
There were two surprise * on lat night's
card , which go to show the amount of un
certainty tliatentoM into this thrlllingsport ,
In the llr.it plMJo the gigantio O jrnnns were
hauled over the chalk line In the Incrodlblo
short space of thirty seconds , and It was the
doughty boys from Denmark that did th <
hauling. Thin , so far , Germany has brokoi
the record both ways , having made thi
longest and shortest pulls on record.
The second surprise was the horculoar
pull made by Patsy ICtrby's "hyus from tin
old durt. " Monday night the slender bu
supple Bohemians dragged them over thi
slats llko no many dummies , but last night I
took the brawny laddies from Scotland Jus
Eovontcun minutes short of un hour to pul
tl.om across the boundary.
IJDIH of Kim Tor n Qu irtor.
The first bout last night , was between thi
Americans and Englishman. It was a tuj
on the short and sweet order. The boys li
Uluo had the llrcs of > 7li In their optics am
Johnny Bull was licked In a cantor. Time
ono minute.
Then the Hermans , ( lushed with tbo rocol
loctlon of their grand achievement on thi
night before , strode boldly and proudly fortl
and ranged themselves upon the platform
They were quickly followed by Cantali
Huns Bublo , who is n dauJy. What the can
tain don't know aoout marching isn't to bi
found in either Upton or Harder ) .
The sublu clad Danes made monkeys of thi
big Dutchmen , and they were on their back ;
in lust thirty seconds.
The yells that greeted this feat made the
old building shako to Its foundation.
Next came the gladiators from Swodur
and the graceful sons of Bohemia , and t
prettier test of science , plucic und endurance
was never scon. But the Swedes were It
great fettle , and in Just eleven minutes the
referee's pistol cracked and Bohemia's hope ;
were blasted.
IJOMJI Pull of tlio Xlj-Tit.
The last , but not least , by u long ways ,
was the Micks against Scotia's braves , and
there was u tug for you. The Scots wen
looked u Don as easy winners , but they verot
decidedly Jaded looking crew at the end ol
forty-three minutes , when they succeeded in
pulling thu handkerchief across their lino. It
was a ba'.tlo won Inch by inch , the
Hibernians evidently laboring under the im
pression that they must rcdeoni themselves
in the eves of their friends , und while de
feated , they did this nobly.
Tonight America will bo pitted against
Scotland , Denmark against Sweden , Bohe
mia against Germany and Iioland against

I.sniAXApor.H , Ind. , Doc. 15. Tuoro Is as
yet nothing tangible In the situation regard
ing the two great base ball organizations.
The corridors of the Bate ? House were Hllod
this morning with base ball men. Brief con
ferences between different clubs were held ,
nnd the situation is now fully understood by
all.
There must bo peace. This Is the sontl-
mout which U uppermost In the minds of nil.
The host method of securing this peace Is ,
according to the majority , through n twelve-
club league , nnd action In that direction will
bo the end of the great conference. It has
boon a hard light to got the magnates In line
with this view , but now from the general
expression there are only ono or two holding
out of the district organizations with a na
tional agreement. The association backers
nro still carrying on a bitter light , but at this
hour almost acknowledge tuolr defeat.
AsHOolatton Action.
It was n o'clock before the association got
down to business. The session was verv
brief. Chris Von Dor Aho miido a speech
urging the association to consolidate with
the loaguo. When ho had finished his re
marks Von Dor Aho moved the election by
ballot of a commlttco of throe to confer with
the league committee.
President Williams of the Chlcagos ob
jected to this method nnd wanted the power
of appointment given to President Pliolps.
This was overruled and the Chicago men
Hubmittod. The committee named was
Yon Der Aho of St. Louis , VenDer
Dor Horn of Baltimore nnd Elliott
ol the Athletics. After the selection Prusl
dent Williams won a point on having in-
st ructions el von the committee that It had no
power to commit the association to llnal
action , but to report the course of the league
The mooting then adjourned.
\ \ lint tlio IJCIIKIIO In Doing.
The league did not huvo a full representa
tion until late In the iiftornoou , and Its meet
ing was deferred until 7:30. At midnight
the league was still in session. The subject
under discussion was the report of Messrs.
Brush , Robinson and Byrne , the committee
10 which was loft the arrangement of u plait
for consolidation ,
This committee ) mot representatives of tbo
association In St , Louis ono week 1150 and
plan * of a settlement of affairs were there
ngrood upon. Both , It Is understood , embody
the twelve-club ono Icaguo plan , the points
, of difference being In regard to disposal of
jilavors and the graded salary schedule.
Tbo developments of tomorrow aronwaltod
with Interest. The general conference will
doubtless bo held at noon. ThoColumbus , Chicago
cage nnd Milwaukee clubs will each ask n big
bonus for stopplnir down nnd out. Columbus
has a lighting chance to displace Loulsvtllo
In the list of clubs to form the consolidated
organization. A big committee is on hand
presenting the club's claims for membership
nnd aufilcleiit bucking Is assured.
The general fooling Is that the league
Accepts its committee's proposition In the
purchase price of the three clubj. Matters
will bo settled tomorrow , otherwise the
twoive-elub league plan will have to bo
abandoned.

under way that has for Its object the con-
Htructlon of an elevated road over the tracks
of the llllnoU Central , to extend ns far south
as the World's fair grounds nt Jackson park.
A majority of tfio American stockholders ol
the Illinois Central road tiavu approved the
plan and have son tan envoy to Europe to lay It
bcforo foreign stockholder * who control the
road. It U proposed to build the elevated
tracks over the present surface track M far
south as Twenty-second street , thence south
by other routes around the World's fair
t'round-i , Including a network of llnoj In thu
southern part of the city between Thirty-
ninth street. Haistead and Eighty-seventh
streets. It is bellovod that this plan will
solve the very serious problem of transporta
tion , not only for the World's fair but for
the more remote future. It is understood
that President l lsh Is opposed to the project
but the Now Yoric stockholders are pushing
it and will put It Into execution If the con
sent of tbo foreign capitalists can bo ob
tained.
A number of decision- * were handed down
today by Chairman Plnloy of thu Western
Passenger association. In ono ol these ho
Imposed two lines aggregating $250 on the
ttook Island r < iad for doing u brokerage busi
ness und for cutting the agreed rate nnd at
the same tim dismissed a charge of failure
to require tbo signatures of passengers.
Two cases in which the Wabash road was
accused of violating the agreement were
both decided In favor of the road. Ono
charge was that , tbo Wabash last July gave
an unauthorized rate to members of the
society of Christian Endeavor society from
Kansas City to Minneapolis and return. The
oilier was that an unauthorised rate was
made In connection with the Masoulu mootIng -
Ing In Kansas City In October.
The light that Is being made on the Monon
to force it to discontinue the quoting of short
line rates between Kansas City and Cincin
nati via Chicago Is proving to bo a bonanza
for the ticket brokers. In order to got a
share of this business the Monon agreed to
redeem at , full tarift rates any of tbo round
about tickets found in the hands of Chicago
brokers. Laivo numbers of these tickets
have boon secured by scalpers , probably
through the aid of the lines that are lighting
the Monon und n handso.no profit is realized
on every ono rodeomed. Uoucr.il Passeniror
Agent Barker says his enemies nro trying
hard to drive him out of the trausmUsouii
and Missouri river business but that they
will not succeed.
The commissioners of the Western Trafllo
association convened today und will proba
bly bo in session the rest of the xvook. Ouo
of the subjects under consideration is the or
ganization of a tonnage pool on salt from
Hutehtnson , Kan. , by which it H hoped to
put on end to the trouble In connection with
the rates on that commodity. The Burling
ton , Hock Island , Atchison , Missouri Pacific
and other lines are Interested in the subject ,
and their representatives will bo hoard by

with Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian government or , to DO more

Cliadoultio , tlio coiTcspondontor tlio Agonc >
Ilav'as atSoila , oxpullod because It appears
that ho liai boon sending homo dispatches
unfavorable to Prince Ferdinand.
Satisfaction for this high handed notion
was on Sunday demanded of the Bulgarian
government. It was refused. This led to
ttio rupture. It 13 plain that Franco hus
right nnil Justlco on tier side in this matter.
The forwarding of tlio dispatches was no ad
equate cause for tlio expulsion of M.
Chadouino. In similar cases Franco had up
till now refrained from insisting on her
rights.
Her firmness In this Instance shows clonrly
that the Incident was taken advantage of to
prove that Franco and Ut.ssla adopted the
samollnoof policy In Bulgaria. Uusaia Las
no relations with the government of Prlnco
FarUlnand , und Franco dosirus notio , either.
' 1 ho recall of tlio French representative at
oolla Is ovldonco of the Franco-Uussian en
tente in Europe as the Joint action of the two
governments Pelcln was of an entente In
Asia. The Ineidont has naturally attracted
n great deal of notice In the diplomatic world.
Fcrdliiand'H Second IlronU.
Another fact has made a still deeper 1m-
prossion. Pnnco Ferdinand rccentlv ordered
a numborot 5 , 2 and 1 franc pieces to bo coined
bearing His ofligy. This was a flagrant violation
lation of the treaty of Berlin , which ex
pressly denied sovereign rights to
the prlneo of Bulgaria. By ordering
the coins to bo struck off Prince
Ferdinand has slighted the authority of his
suzerain , the sultan , and given grave offense
to the c/ar , whoso patience was already
vexed and nearly exhausted. The rupture of
relations between Franco and Bulgaria on
so slight a pretext and tlio violation of a
convcr.tlon signed bv the powers may have
n direct and Important bearing on each
other.
Is Bulgaria destined to bo the match
which will sot llro to Europe ?
And mav wo not Unit that the present in
cidents will boar out the pessimistic remarks
of the Emperor Francis Joseph and Count
ICnlnoky , who should know. If any ono can
know , the role whluti Austria plays lu Bul
garian affairs )
The deputies seem to be crowing tired of
ultra protectionism. This afternoon they
voted the reduction of duties on petroleum to
1'J francs on the ground that It was the ma
terial most used for lighting purposes by the
poor. It is worthy of note that the ministry
was not in accord with too chamber on the
question. Whether the vote will bo ratlliod

Starving ItiiHsiuiiH Noble Work of
Count Tolstoi's Family.
ST. Pr.rcnsmmo , Doc. 15. Tlio Moscow
Gazette denounces the acceptance of foreign
aid for the distressed people of Russia , and
especially English aid. It declares that
Great Britain wants" to turn Rus-sia into
another Egypt and warns the people against
the duplicity of philanthropy.
Mmo. Tolstoi , the wife of Count Tolstoi
the novelist , in an Interview today said she
doubted whether the government would con
sent to act as the medium for the distribution
of foreign assistance , but there was no ob
jection to Count Tolstoi distributing such
assistance privately. The extent of the
famine , she continued , instead of being over
stated Is greater than any outsider would
suppose. In the province of Kiazan , where
bur husband Is working , the peasants cot
thirty pounds of grain monthly.butno meat or
potatoes. Within twenty days the monthly
allowance is consumed , and the peasants
then imss the remaining ton days of tbo
month in a state of starvation. Furnishing
mobs of ton visit the houses of landlords and
wealthy peasants with throats to bum the
pronerty unless they are given food.
Count Tolstoi's family is now scattered ,
the members being stationed at various
points organizlngregularrellof independently
of the government olllclals , who have been
accusing thorn of being revolutionaries. It
has [ jroatly comforted Count Tolstoi to learn
that the vlows of those officials are not
shared by the czar. Mmo. Toistol waited on
the czar recently and explained to him the
Injustice of these attacks on Count Toistol.
She was assured by the czar that ho had no
doubt of the loyallty of her husband. Ono
son of the count is ill with a favor , caught
while visiting famine stricken families.
The comm ? winter , Mmo. Tolstoi concludes ,
will bo a trying time , but she feared the
early spring most , as their resources will
then be exhausted.
