puts It. Mr. Dreyfus Is out In an Interview
today , In which do rcorcs John Brush of the
Cincinnati club , James Hurt of the Chicago
club and Frank DeHaAs Robleon of the St.

underhanded methods.
The Courier-Journal will say tomorrow :

yesterday afternoon for a determined fight
against Hnmh , llnrt nnd Koblann , or the
entire National league , If need be , In order
to got a revision of Sunday pluylng dntca
for the Louisville team. Whether the opera
tion of theao plans will bring forth the de
sired Tomtits remains to bo seen , but If they
fall the chances arc that some very Inter

transpire before the season opens on April'
15.
15.A meeting ot the directors of the Louis-
villa club was held yesterday afternoon to
determine on n course of procedure. All
the directors , who are the owners of the
club , wcro present. Zach Phelps , the well
known attorney , was nlso present. Mr.
1'holps Is the attorney for the club , Is nn
ex-director , and It was ho who framed the
famous national agreement which binds the-
National league and American association
together. Ho Is familiar with every phase
of the base ball situation.
The details of what transpired at this

tomorrow through a statement from the
Loulsvlllo club's standpoint , -which Is now
being prepared toy President Dreyfus and
Mr. Pholps.
A copy of this statement will be sent to
each magnate In the big league. A copy
will also 'DO sent to each Influential daily

the club's statement becomes public prop

the meeting yesterday afternoon and In an

Word came from the east last night that
a movement Is on foot to break up the Na

cording to Colonel John I. Rogers of Phila

of tholr ibcst playing dates nnd thereby
effect the Immediate dissolution of the big
league , this to < be followed by the forma
tion of a new league headed by Boston ,
Now York , Philadelphia , PlttBburg and
other strong clubs , the others being left to
shift for themselves. These clubs with largo
amounts of money behind them could gobble
up all the star players nud lot the other

Thu principal rulings In the decision nre :
H Is not , as a matter of fact , a violation
of the law to regulate commerce to make a
lower rate to the port of export upon trnlflc
which Is exported than upon that which Is
locally consumed , for the export rate is
essentially the division of a through rate.
The commission decides that the long nnd
short haul clause Is not violated by the
lower export rate to East Boston than the
domestic rate for the shorter distance to
Boston and that the petition should bo
dismissed ,

NEW YORK. March 27. Henry Clews ,
head of the banking house ot Henry Clews
& Co. , writes of the situation In Wall struct
as follows :
Alllalrs In Wall street continue to drift
nlong In a somewhat erratic and Irregular
manner , though on the whole more active
than during the last few weeks. The ele
ments of excitement on the Stock exchange
have centered around the industrials , cer
tain of which have fluctuated wlldlv nnd
from reasons about which there Is little
agreement of opinion. As to American Su
gar , In which the transactions and lluctua-
tlons have been most extreme , there appears
to be little doubt that negotiations have
been at least attcmplcd for cffecllng a pacific
understanding between the trust nnd Us new
competitors. The rumors about those Inter
changes of views have been used for iitlmit-
luting buying and frightening a largo
"short" Interest Inlo covering ; but , ns yet ,
nothing appears to bo definitely known ns
to the real relations belwcen Hie conipollng
Interests , either present or prospective.
Equally , the rumor ot a consolldallon be
tween the Sugar and the Glucose trusts
seems to have been a pure Invention for
stimulating speculation in the stocks of
those properties. These bold operations In
three or four Industrials have a parnlylzlng
tendency upon the railroad list and have
generally Impaired confidence throughout
the market At the moment , however , it
appears as though this fictional excitement
had about exhausted Its force ; the margin
of fluctuations In the prices of the Industrial
specialties is narrowing and attention Is
again turning toward the more stable class
of securities. These demoralizations , how
ever , have Introduced a feeling of caution
over the whole list , for the operations have
shown that the "fast-rider" class ot opera
tors , who foster the extravagances so easily
got up in connection with the Industrials ,
are becoming more and moro an element ot
uncertainty In more legitimate operations.
The railroad lint begins to attract renewed
attention. The severe storms of February
produced a contraction of earnings In that
month which has contributed to the disposi
tion to sell these securities , for some time
apparent ; but the obstructions of the Feb
ruary traffic have Increased the earnings for
the current month , with the effect of stiffen
ing the market for thU class of investments.
Effect of TriiHt
Taking the present situation as a whole ,
however , It is not calculated to encourage
large expectations ns to prices , for the com
ing ' week at least. The Immediate position
ot the money market cannot bo regarded us
encouraging to sanguine expectation. The
surplus reserve of $19,000,000 Is not up to
the average for this season of the year ,
whllo It Is really a narrow resource for a
situation surrounded bv unusual and Indefi
nite special demands for cash. Wo have yet
to flnd out what may be the effect on the
New York banks of the financing of grcut
trust negotiations in all parts of the country - /
try and providing them with working resources - ,
sources which will make them comparatively'
Independent ot bank loans.
We hove scarcely yet got over the trans
fers of deposits connected with the Chicago
& Alton deal. The bonks are carrying an
extraordinary amount of government de
posits and little can bo known ns to the ex
tent to which the treasury will draw against
them. The usual April withdrawals for an
nual [ settlements are close at band , which
always cause a fortnight's dislocation ot
currency. And , still more Important , the re
mittance of $20,000,000 , to Spain in connec
tion with the war settlement must bo imme
diately provided for. Undoubtedly , the
treasury will do all In Its power to prevent
the operation from disturbing the money
market , but until the exact nature ot the
operation is understood there Is likely to be
some restraint upon lending.
A report was recently circulated that the
United States government had deposited
$20,000,000 now due Spain In the City bank.
This is not possible , as the government un
der the law has no power to take funds out
ot the United States treasury , when once
there , and deposit them In a bank to the
credit of the government. The money that
goes to the/ / credit ot the government In u
national depository bank can only get there
by payments to the government helng made
through the depository banks. The way the
government will doubtless do will bo to hand
over to tbo proper accredited agents of the
Spanish government the $20,000,000 in gold
coin , taking therefor the proper legal docu
ment. The Spanish agents nre then at lib
erty to deposit the amount in a bank and
check against the same for the payment of
sterling or continental bills of exchange ;
but what Is moro likely for them to do. as
they may not bo skilled financiers , will bo ,
rather than take any risk on their own
responsibility , to ship the coin direct to
Spain in the same packages as received from 11 I
the United States treasury. Of course j
through remitting bills something can bo ,
saved , but foreign red tape offlclnls are not
likely to be Inline-need by that consideration.
New York'M Stoi-U of Cnnli.
Considerable money has eomo to New
York from neighboring cities In the last few
days and been put out on time loans. This
has eased up call money to some extent ,
which has had the effect ot making holders
ot stocks more tenacious In clinging to
them ; therefore , forced sales have been less
frequent in consequence than during last
week. Today's bank statement , however , is
likely to be unfavorable again and the two
following ones will show but little Improve
ment , from all indications. This will doubtless - .
less cause , meanwhile , the same caution 1
which has existed during the present month.
Specialties , however , like Sugar and the
other Industrials , have moved up vigorously ,
irrespective ot money conditions. I
There Is a great deal of current discussion I
about the so-called trusts now so rapidly !
being formed , The name of these industrials
would be more appropriate If called "trade
combinations , " as they are really nut trusts ,
The preponderance ot argument seems to
be , as far as publicity Is given thereto , a
raid against them. It is not , therefore. In
appropriate to sot forth many points in their !
fuvor. I
To state the case of these combinations In '
plain nnd simple terms , the object sought
to bo attained Is to put various interests belonging -
longing to different parties together so ns to i
form a largo concern represented by stock
capital without personal liability , having In '
view a reduction in expenses , greater offlI
cloncy nnd production on n larger iscale , nnd I
the realization of greater profits without ad- )
vanclng prices. When a number of tmiull ,
Individual plants are thus united for n com- .
inon object under efficient official manage
ment the expenses are materially cut down.
With tbo Increased capital which this method '
admits of bettor machinery Is necured , with i i a
better results In meeting foreign compotl- I
lion'which adds largely to this country'A
exports. :
In this way this country has , during the ,
last ten years , Increased Its ability to com-V >
pete successfully with Great Britain and c
other European countries ; thus , in the Devon
months ending February 1 , our exports of o
manufactures Increased 14.3 per cent , whllo "
the total exports , Including manufactures , h
Increased only 4.3 per cent , and the exports ref
of all articles excepting manufactures but {
3.3 per cent.
Ini-reuMe In
That wo would never have arrived at this t
pitch of prosperity in manufacturing withB
out capital combining for this very purpose j
will bo seen more clearly If Instead of seven I
months In one year wo make the comparison I
for the lust ten years , taking seven months '
ending February 1 for each year of the ten. J
In the seven months of 1SSS-S9 the exports c
of manufactures were $78,751,133 ; In 1892 >
they had risen to $96,01)5,460 , ) ; In 1S93 ( a panic A
year ) they bad fallen to $88,278,110. but the ]
next year they had again risen to $111,005.-
OSS. In 1895 they were down again , probably r
the chief cauuo being the silver agitation , I
which mudo foreigners distrustful of our i
stability ; consequently they fell about $7.f
000,000 to $104.607,101 , but In 1S9S there was t
again an advance to $125,802,682 , showing ?
tbe faith that the country had begun to exj j r
, orclso ' In the permanency of the gold standI
O'b . When thai permanency wns assured
by the election of McKlnlev there was nn
Immense stride In these exports of no less
. than J27.000.000 , the aggregate having risen
to $1B3.SS2.6S2. Though the figures ot 1S ! 8
, did not move up with such enormous in
crease ns the previous year , yet It wns more
than t $ 'J,000,000 , the total being $139.541,010 ;
but the record for the seven months ending
last February came up to $1S2.33G03 , showIng -
Ing nn advance of more than $22.000,000 ,
breaking nil records In Increase , excepting
| the l seven months ending February 1 , 18 ! 7.
N'ctw the great and unileryliig principle
that has put It In our power during the last
decade to make such nn unprecedented nd-
vnnco In a department of commerce from
which we wcro generally supposed to have
been almost excluded. Is that of the much
maligned combination ot capital. Without
such means as we possess ( despite much Ig
norant hostility ) of aggregating capital
there could have been no such progress as
these statistics so clcarlv demonstrate.
Trust' * iiTcct : on l.nlior.
People who lake a narrow view of the sub-
Joel talk about the system throwing men out
of employment. To mv mind it is evident
that there must have been far more money
spent In wages when the manufactured ex
ports were $182.000,000 than when they wore
only $78nooooo ten years previously. Moro
than double the value of material by nearly
three millions' worth certainly could nnt bo
moved by a less number of men. It proba
bly required moro than half as many more ,
namely , 50 per cent , and during ) this period
labor Itself has only Increased 25 per cent
thus leaving the workman bettor oft than
before the combinations began to make such
progress In the Improvement ot machinery.
Can anybody imnglno that the railroads
could employ an army ot 800,000 workmen
nt good wages and that 1-100 part ot n cent
per ton per mlla would make the dlfferonco
between dividend nnd no dividend to certain
prosperous roads If the principle of combi
nation were not worked extensively in the
railroad Industry ? As similar arguments
apply to other Industries with equal co-
gi'iicy , I consider It unnecessary to multiply
examples , as anyone can do so for himself
simply by opening his eyes , looking over
the Industrial field , past nnd present , coolly
reflecting on the situation , and without per
mitting political prejudice or newspaper sen
sationalism to cloud his reason or distort his
common sense. One of the results insepa
rable from combinations , no matter how sel
fish the promoters may bo , Is that they make
everything which they produce cheaper to
the consumer than It possibly could bo with
out their existence ; nnd the larger the com
bination , ns a rule , the bettor nnd the
cheaper is the consumer served. It Is only
during 'the brief transition period of the
change from the separate concerns to the
combine that wage earners suffer. After
that they are butler oft nnd labor is moro
f'ully ' employed , usually nt higher wngcf >
Many ot the smaller concerns that go into
the combines nnd obtain very profitable re
muneration for their properties would olh-
erwlse become bankrupt.
The fact that a reduction In the price of
a manufactured article invariably Rtlmulales
consumption needs no moro demonstration
than that the inflexible law of supply and
demand disposes of any fear ns to arbitrary
advances In prices.

'been paying altentlons , William Meyers ,
proprietor of the Klondike hotel barber
shop , essayed the role of nn amateur detective -
tectivo Monday flight , spying on the woman ,
and 'became ' Involved in a fight that resulted
In the arrest of all the parties concerned.
iNottlo Homey , 70C South Sixteenth street ,
received the attentions ot Meyers several
months 'before she met Sidney Anderson , a
waiter , then in her manner-when In Meyers' . ,
presence she became cool. The latter , determining - '
mining to discover the cause cf the estrange
ment and suspecting the true reason /or It ,
climbed by the outside steps to the rear of
the third story flat where the woman has
apartments and looked through the .windows.
Ho expected to find another man nnd was
not disappointed , for lAnderson and the
Homey woman were together.
They caught sight of Meyers' face as he
peered through the window panes and both
men 'becoming ' Infuriated rushed for each
other. Meeting In the ball n furious fight
ensued , Anderson nnd the Homey woman ,
according to Meyers' story , beating him
with chairs. In the end Meyers' superior
strength and weight proved an advantage
nnd Anderson was worsted , but before the
fight was finished women occupying rooms
adjoining that -whore the struggle was tak-
Ing place , became alarmed by the nolso ot
the conflict and rushed down the stairs
shouting murder , A "hurry" call was sent
to the police station , 'but ' when the patrol
wagon arrived on the sccno Meyers had
escaped. Later ho called nt the station and
gave himself up. All three were locked up
charged with fighting.

NEW YORK , March 27. A special from
Washington says : Unwittingly congress ,
just before Us adjournment , gave President
McKlnloy authority to appoint two admirals
of the navy Instead of limiting tbo grade
to one , ns It undoubtedly Intended. The
discovery has Just been brought to the at
tention of ofllclals ot the Navy department
] and , has aroused considerable gossip , cs-
specially among tbo friends of Hour Admirals
Sampson nnd Schley. '
President McKlnlcy approved on March 2
"nn act creating the office of admiral of the
navy. " providing "that the president Is
hereby ) authorized to appoint ny selection
nnd , promotion nn admiral of the navy who
shall not be placed upon the retired list
except upon his own application , nnd when
ever such office shall bo vacated by death
or otherwise the office shall cense to exist. "
A certified copy of the act was presented
to Secretary Long by the Stale deparlmenl
and the former Immediately made out the
nomination of George Dewey to be admiral ,
The nomination wns confirmed by the senate
on March 2 ,
Notwithstanding that the president had
appointed nn officer to be "nn admiral of the
navy , " ns provided for In the net , congress
passed the navy appropriation bill , which
was approved late on the legislative day of
May 3 , containing a provision Identical In
language with the acl under which Admiral
Dewey had been appointed nnd confirmed.
It has been pointed out that the pro
vision , like the net , provided for the ap
pointment of nn officer to be an admiral
"by selection and promotion , " Had the act
simply read in both cases "by promotion"
Admiral Dcwcy , being the ranking officer ,
would have been appointed and then Hear
Admiral F. V. McNalr might bo considered
eligible for appointment ns "an admiral , "
but as It specifically stated "by selection
and promotion" it Is apparent that the
president , If ho thinks he has sufficient au
thority to do so , may select any officer he
may see fit nnd ns he has expressed himself
only recently In terms of high appreciation
ot Hear Admiral Sampson's conduct friends
ot the commander of the North Atlantic
squadron are confident that If any one is
appointed he will be the man.
Friends of Hear Admiral Schley would
naturally like to have the honor conferred
upon him , 'but ' , appreciating the temper of
the ' administration toward him , they do not
look 1 for It. They say also that an In
terpretation of the act by a judicial officer
of the government will show conclusively
i that ( congress Intended that only one admiral
' should bo appointed. This is the view taken
by Secretary I eng , but it Is not doubted
that the matter will toe brought to the at
tention of the president.

of the different samples of the medicines I had been using. I
found them of so many different kinds that I concluded I would have to go to a
Cincinnati hospital before I would get relief. I had frequently been urged to
try CUTICURA REMEDIES , but I had no faith in them. My wife finally
prevailed upon me to try them. Presto ! What a change ! I am now cured ,
and it is a permanent cure. I feel like kicking sonic doctor or myself for suffer
