president of the
Kaneas City base
bnll club , Is In the
city , and this afternoon -
noon , with the com-
tnlttco appointed ,
will wall on Oma
ha's business men
with the view of
raising the small
bonus the Woslorn
league asks for putting In nnd maintaining it
club horo. It is not apprehended that this
committco will meet with much trouble In
securing the amount wanted , ns the business
element of the city recognize tborouchly
what u ball club In the second organization
In the country means to them In [ an adver
tising wny. Kvory city In the circuit Is now
in line , anil nowbcro hns there bocn any
coldness on the part oMho public In further
ing the interests of the project. Omahn is
the only city In which tbo li-aguo has boon
compelled to put in a team , and now ns long
as It has done this , and will bo forced to
equip now grounds at an immodlato outlay ,
tbo business mun should respond gcnerouslv
and promptly.
At the most it is a niggardly amount that
is ashed , compared with the expenditures
necessary to be made , nnd as long as the
league guarantees the city a club during tbo
existence of the organization , let It bo ono ,
two , six or ton years , vigorous appreciation
of this generosity should bo demonstrated.
The plans ana specifications for tbo now
building In the now park across the river
an ) very elaborate and will bo an ornament
instead of an cyo-soro.
There is no tlmo to lose. In six weeks
mqro tbo season opens , and Omaha's grounds
must bo In shape for at least preliminary
practice by April 1. The live business man
of this city know full well that conducted un
der proper conditions the grout national sport
deserves nlj the prosperity it has attained.
It is not open to criticism by reason of tbo
brutality which oftoa attends foot ball or
the gambling practices that accompany
horse racing. As played In those modern
times it has almost bean reduced to an exact
science. Few pictures of outdoor Ufa In
America are moro stirring and dlvorllngthan
those presented on tbo panorama of the na
tional game as the car of summer rolls on
from spring to its autumnal destination.
That they will bo reproduced and rapeatad
In elaborated form this year at the now Mid-
City park can bo anticipated conlldontly
from the excellent arrangements ontorc'd
Into by the league , especially for this city.
The reconstructed league is now a body that
will rival In the allegiance of the people oven
tbo great political parties , and with a little
assistance by those to bo most benefited and
it will enter , when the season opens , on a
career of brilliant nnd abiding success.

CHICAGO , 111. , March 'J. General Russell
A. Algor , who yesterday announced bin can-
aidacy for the republican nomination for
president , arrived at the Grand Pncidc hotel
today nnd was aeon in consultation with
State Auditor Haney and Secretary Charlie
Pardndge of the republican state central
committco. Tnoso two gentlemen informed
General Alger tnat Senator Cullom would
probably have the solid state delegation from
Illinois.
General Alger , speaking of bis candidacy ,
was very confident. "For many months , "
ho said , "I have been Importuned by influ
ential republicans In Michigan and other
states to become a candidate for the repub
lican nomination , and I have consented. My
candidacy does not men a tnat there is any
dissatisfaction on my part or on the part of
my friends with the administration of Presi
dent Harrison. Harrison has made a good
president , but it Is tno right of ovorv Amer
ican citizen to cspiro to the presidency , and
I am an aspirant , and I shall hereafter use
all honorable moans to enlist support from
all sections of the country. I shall nave tbo
solid delegation from Michigan. I shall have
support from other atatos. but I do not care
to stale wbat it Is and where it will coma
from. "
"I have received many letters from south
ern republicans asking mo if I am prepared
to use money to assist my candldaoy. To all
these letters I have replied very emphatic
ally that I shall ao nothing of the kind. I
would not spend money to assist mo if I
knew that it would make mo president to
morrow. If a man cannot win by honorable
means , ho should bo defeated. "
Speaking of his war record , General Algor
said that ho has a aurprices In store for Mr.
Uhurle * A. Dana , which will bo a regular
bombshell when it is mauo public.
"I have been In correspondence , " bo said ,
"with the secretary of war regarding the
ofllclal records of the War department for
sorno time. Yesterday Secretary Elklns
sent mo the last conies of all tbo records in
the case for which 1 Uatt applied , In my
oflicn In Detroit several stenographers are at
work preparing a transcript of the docu
ments , which could not by any stretch of
the Imagination bo construed as relloctlng on
mo. From these records I prefer to bo
Judged , arid I shall not- make pubilo any
of the hundreds of fluttering letters aiul
documents which are commendatory of my
conduct during the war. I propose to bo
vindicated , My own name and thnt of my
family has boon attacked. The defense will
bo ample. 1 have no fear of the result.
General Custer , it is true , Is dead but there
are many pnasos of this matter that con
cerns his treatment of mo that can. bo
readily attested to by the old army ofllcors.
General Custer wished to place his brother
above others and that dealt a severe blow at
tboAo who were working for promotion from
the position of corporal up. "
General Algor and his family are onrouto
to California wb > ru they will remain several
wooks.

In tlio Season
CHICAGO , III. , March S. On December 10 ,
1SU1 , the commissioners of the Western
Trailo ! association passed upon varlous.qucs-
tlons that had boon raised in respect to the
withdrawal of certain trafllo subject to dif
ferent local agreements in Colorado and
Utah. Ono of the agreements referred was
that of the Colorado-Utah association , com
posed of the Colorado Midland , the Denver
ft Ulo Qraudo , the Hio Grande Western and
the Union Pacific roads , which had adopted
rules nnd regulations covering till freight and
passenger trafllo originating at nnd destined
to Colorado and Utah common points.
The agreement ; thnt time , however , lind
not boon signed by the general managers of
the interested companies mid the commis
sioners nftor considering the subject author-
zed the withdrawal of sr jh tratllc from the
Jurisdiction of the Western Traflto associa
tion when the signatures of the general man
agers should bn appended ; Subsequently
the Union Paclllu declined to sign thu agree
ment and gave notice of withdrawal from
the Colorado-Utah association , otTcctlvo
March 37 , 1803. Accordingly another hearIng -
Ing was hula by the commissioners , und
today Chairman Walker issued'a second de
cision reversing the former ono nnd holding
that the trafilo In question could not bore-
moved from the coutrol of iho general organ
ization.
The document closes as follows : "It Is
claimed by tbo ether lines that .somo under
standing existed at the time the Western
Traftlo association was formed to' the effect ,
thnt this particular traffic sh'ouldlio excepted
and that this understanding cot re
duced to writing for the reused that' the
provisions of article 0 , section Z of the by
laws was believed to.be adequate' to enable
the parties to exempt trafllo in' ' tho'manner
afterwards attempted. It Is not 'claimed ,
however , that thu commissioners would bo
authorized to act upon any such unwritten
understanding ; they have no .discretion in
the promises but uro obliged" to fol
low the language of tbo bv-laws
as furnished them by tbo advisory
board for their guidance. Under thoao by
laws the traflla in question Is embraced with
in the Jurisdiction of the Western Trufllo
association , und has not been removed by any
sufficient agreement of interesting mdmbers.
It necessarily follows that said"traflic still
remains subject to the Jurisdiction of thn
%
Western Trafllo association as previous to
any attempt to romova the same had bdcn
assigned to the transmissouri division there
of whore it now belongs. Having boon ad
vised that this subjeot will bo.prcsonted to
thu advisory board at its next.me.otlng , by
appeal , the commissioners , pending such
appeal , will suspend action under" this de
cision. "
A decision Just handed down by the com
missioners of the Western Traftlo associa
tion seems to bo altogether too late to bo of
any practical bunotit Last January tbo
Transcontinental association , an account of
the heavy frost that had damaged .the fruit
crop in southern California , tlcclried-to estab
lish an emergency rate of UO . cents "per 100
pounds on citrons from California to Chicago
and iho Mississippi and Missouri rivers , the
rale to expire February 15. Subsequently
the Atchison asked authority to extend the
rate to March 1. The commissioners have
finally decided to deny the request.
Announced Their Ultimatum.

points ever which there has been so much
discussion. The commission orders that on
and after March 16 , 189:2 : , the rate on sugar in
car load lots from Fort Scott , Kansas City ,
Kan. , Loavonworth and Atchison -shall be in

The city council has decided that the old
wooden structure along the line of Soutli
Sixteenth street , known ns a viaduct , must
go. This was decided upon at the mooting
hcldTuesday | night. The ordinance doclnrlnt
the necessity ot having n new nnd modem
viaduct was passed , but not without nr
Interesting fight , which started soon aftoi
the council convened.
Mr. Otlaffos , chairman of the special com
mlttce , stated thnt ho lind another engage
inont nnd could not tarry long. Owing te
that fact , ho said that ho baa n report which
ho desired to make. Ho was granted that
privilege , and ths report , which was ns fol
lows , was road :
Mr. ClmU'rn'fl Itrport.
"Your committee to which was referred nn
ordinance declaring the necessity of con-
structinc-u viaduct along Sixteenth street
ever the railroad tracks , between Leavon-
worth and Pierce streets , hotowlth submit
as prtrt of our report a communication from
the city engineer regarding the present vln-
dtict on Sixteenth street. As the city en
gineer reports that with proper ciro ana
regulations the present viaduct will bo safe
for the next two or three years , your com-
tnlttco can see no special reason tor the passage -
sago of this ordinance at once , and inasmuch
as your committee is led lo bolluvo that ar
rangements can bo. made with the railroad
companies to.butld the viaduct on Sixteenth
fltroot-wc would recommend thnt the city
engineer be added to the committco add that
tbo committee bo granted time to have a con
ference with the railroad ofllcinls.
"We would also recommend that the
Board of Public Works bn instructed to at
once notify the Omaha Street Hallway com
pany thnt U must not allow moro than ono
motor train over the long span of the viaduct
at one time , and tnat the order must bo
strictly enforced. "
The lottef written by City Engineer Hose-
water was called for. It was read , and in it
he declared that tbo viaduct might bo re
paired , but it would not be safe.
Mr. iOlsagser moved that the report of the
.special committee be placed on tile.
The motion was -seconded by Mr. Tuttle ,
while the friends of the ordinance applauded.
Mr. , Chaffco sutod that the building of the
viaduct was nn important mutter und .should
not bo rushed blindly , Ilo thought that oy
approaching the railroad corporations in tbo
proper manner they would build the viaduct ,
but iti could cot bo rushed. A conference
with the oflicials of the railroad companies
might rqsultin good.
Mr. Prince said that Mr. Chafteo talked
about a conference , but what was the use of
a conference with the railroads. Holdrcco
had said , that the city could not even compel
the railroads to even repair the viaduct.
i\pliinatIoiM from the City Engineer.
City Engineer Rosawater was called for.
Ho explained the condition of tbo
viaduct. In tbo first place it cost but
$30,000 , and was intended merely as n tem
porary structure. It was built whoa the city
had but little monov and was not intended
for street cars , not oven horse cars.
At the present time it could bo
strengthened so that it might stand for
two or three years. The factor of strength
ho estimated at three , which was not satis
factory , ns that factor should bo at least
eight.
Mr. Alunro declared that it was an insult
to the members of the committee on viaducts
and railways when the ordinance was taKen
from their hands and referred to the special
committco. It was for no other purpose
tbun to side-track the ordinance to
accommodate the railroads. That rule
had been applied to corporations by
termer councils , but ho did not propose to
perpetuate such a practice. Continuing his
remarks , Mr. Munro stated tbat he blushed
when ho thought of. tbo audacity of the
chairman of the special committee. That
gentleman stood up in the council nn J gave
utterance to the exact words that the rall-
road'ofllctals used when they hold the con
ference with the committee on railways.
Mr. lilsasscr said : "What does Mr.
Chaffae mean when hi speaks of properly
approaching the railway oflicials 3"
"Then be cited the instance when the city
voted IJ50.000 of bonds to aid the Union Pa
cific comnuny and in return secured a cow
shed , -which was known as a depot. Then
the city voted 8150,000 of viaduct bonds
yvith the understanding that a union depot
was to bo crcctod. The plans , bo said , had
been 'changed , but the depot had never boon
erected. Again the city had given the rail
roads the right of way up and down tbo
streets and alleys of the city and In return
they had ; raised their switching charges for
trio purpose of driving business out of the
city. Ho ventured the opinion that the tlmo
had arrived for action and not for properly
approaching the oflicials of tuo railroads.
the Urilliiunco.
As an amendment to the report of the
special , committee Mr. Elsasser offered an
amendment tbat the same bo placed on file
and tbat the original report declaring the
necessity for the construction of the viaduct
bo adopted.
The vote on the amendment was as follows :
Yeas , Messrs. Hack , Brunor , Conway ,
Elsasser , Jacobson , Lowry , Munro. Prince ,
Spocht and Tuttle 10. Nays , Messrs.
Dcchel , Burdish , Chaffeo. Edwards , Howell ,

The ordinance was put upon its third readIng -
Ing and tiassed by the following vote : Yeas ,
Mossis. Buck , Brunor , Conway , Ulsasser ,
Howell , Jacobson , Lowry , Munro , 1' rhino ,
Spect , Steel and Tuttlo- . Nays , Messrs.
Bochcl , . Burdish , Chaffeo , Edwards , Mo-
Lonrlo and President Davis -I ) .
Tnerowns" another round of applause , nnd
Iho victors squared themselves for another
round , but this tLmo they were defeated.
The ordinance declaring tbo necessity for
iho erection of a viaduct over the railroad
tracks along the line of Fifteenth street was
killed on its third reading.
The oomiplttco on viaducts and railways
reported in fuvor of the passage of the ordi
nance and that report was adopted ; but when
the third nmdlng was rouchoa the vote was

Niw : Oni.KAXs , La. , March 8. The news
cabled from London last night that Ted
Pritchnrd wan willing to light Pitzsimmons
lu America in ten weeks caused much inter
est among sporting men und tha general public
hero. The negotiations for u mutch'between '
Sullivan and Mitchell may interfere some
what with n light between Pritchnru and
Fitz , but if tbo big match in not tnndo the
middleweights will surely meet next "fall If
not sooner.
Jimmy Carroll in speaking of Fitzslmmons
.said toniiy : "Bob is ready to moot Pritch-
urd nt any tlmo. Wo will talk business ana
make a match whcnavcr ho Is ready , but it
is my Judgment that it would bo lirolltablo
to wait till next murdi gras. The Sullivan
Mitchell light will luke place m the fall and
another fight so soon upon Its heals would
not attract. "
