While com par iv"! fe-.v of the opposition senators will vt. for that 1111. r.one of them appears villing to make any objection to Its early con -id-Ta-tion. There has ben a general mrmise that Senator Cockrell would offer a substii:e for the army bill, but he stated to-day that he hail no such Intention, at the same timo xprep!ng his conviction that th b',l should be pressed to early disposition, bocaui' of the condition In the Phllipp'nes. Mr. Cockrell expressed the further upnun thit the army bill would not be debate! lit great length unless there should he .'it the airif time an attempt to carry th- Mibfcldy bill along with it. In that evc.u hfc thought It might be dilHcuIt to girt the army bill through promptly. The opposition senators generally will content them.-olve with an explanation of their views upon the army bill, and will make no opposition to its becoming a law. There are still several speeches to be made upon the su.-'dy till, but apparently none of the promised speeches has txen prepared, so that Senator Hawley may be able to go on uninterruptedly for pome time with the army ti.'l. regardless of any arrangement concerning the subsidy bill. The House probably will dispose of th reapportionment bill this week, although Chairman Burton, of the river and harbora committee. Is Inclined to contest the rlchS of way with the census committee. Th? reapportionment bill., carrying, out "as it

does, a constitutional requirement, is al matter of higher privilege than an appropriation bill, and If Chatrmar. Hopkins insiits It probably will J5e given priority. Mr. Hopkins, however, may yield if he finds that any large proportion of the members will not return from their holiday vacation In time to vote upon the measure this week. A very determined fight will be made against his bill by members from States which lose representatives under it, and Mr. Hopkins desires a full House wheu the vote is taken. He is confident that his measure will carry with a full attendance. In any event, neither Mr. Hopkinsnor Mr. Burton desires to proceed to-morrow, go that the session to-morrow probably will be brief and unimportant. On Friday either the river and harbor or the reapportionment bill will be taken up. Jf It should be the latter the expectation is that its consideration will be completed on Saturday. If the former the length of time to be consumed la problematical. UIi:it AT TIIK WHITE HOUSE. Member of Cabinet and Ladles Entertained by the President. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.

Enrnhnm's New Baseball Association Sticking on the Ways. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Nothing was dono today regarding the permanent organization of the Western Baseball Association. A temporary organization was formed last week with the understanding that a conference would be held here to-day, to launch the new league. None of the promoters put in an appearance except Mr. liurnham, of Detroit, who was -appointed temporary president, and Mr. Manning, of Kansas City. The meeting. was postponed until such time as a full attendance cf the prospective magnates can be secured. Mr. Burnham returned to Detroit to-night with President Johnson, of the American League, for tho purpose of looking over the situation there and helping decide on the advisability of placing a second team in that city. The American League will have the same team there which represented the league last season and if th outlook is propitious the Western Association will also locate a club there. President Johnson before leaving for Detroit stated that he would not call the meeting of the American League before tho middle of January. The meeting will be held in Chicago, Instead of Philadelphia; as planned. The Tribune to-morrow will say: "The new league struck a snag in George Lennon, of St. Paul, and have not yet completed plans made necessary by the unexpected state of affairs up In the Twin Cities. Without St. Paul the Western Association does not want Minneapolis. It is more than likely the Burnham organization will arrange a new circuit, leaving out both of the Minnesota cities. Application has been made by the Toronto Club of the Eastern League, it is said, for a franchise in the new league, but this the magnates refuse to confirm. Toronto would not be a desirable addition without Buffalo to pair with- it in the schedule and in breaking the Jumps. But the Western Association cannot plan on Buffalo, which" Is at present a member of the American League. It will be necessary for the association people to await the action of the American League concerning the dropping of Buffalo or Indianapolis before deciding on Toronto's application." GRASSED EVERY BIRD. Second Series of the Interstate ShootIns Match 7on by Harold Money. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Splendid birds, fast flyers, remarkable close shooting and a big attendance of well-known spectators all served to make the thrice postponed interState handicap shoot to-day a memorable trap shooting event. John P. Danlells. of New York; -Harold Money, of Oakland, N.' J.; John S.' Fanning, of San Francisco, Cal., and Stephen M. Van Allen, of Jamaica, N. Y., all of whom had won previous events, were eligible. Each man had won two of tho handicaps, but Morfey, who tied for the honors with Van Allen at tho last event, withdrew and Van Allen went in as the winner and shot with tho others at the traps. Danlells missed his eighteenth bird and killed all the rest, making a score of twenty-four kills out of twenty-five. Fanning, the man from the Golden Gate, hit his nineteenth bird hard, but tho left quarterer flew out of bounds and he tied Danlells with a. total of twenty-four kills. Van Allen lost his fifth, a low-flying incomer, which fell dead out of bounds. He also failed to stop his eleventh and withdrew at sixteen with fourteen kills. Harold Money shot at a lot of screaming flyers, two of which his seventeenth and twenty-first failed to drop and he was at twenty-three. This left Daniell3 and Fanning tied and they agreed to divide the money and did so. Then followed the second series of the Interstate handicap, same conditions, Danlells made another total of twenty-four E G. Griffiths, of Providence, R. I., bagged tho same number. Fanning missed two and finished with a score of twenty-three, but Harold Money grassed every bird that roso before him. Quartercrs and screamers, fast birds or sluggish ones, were all the same to him, and he won the shoot with a clean score, Morfey, Money, Danlells, Griffiths and Van Allen won most of the ironey in the sweepstakes events that followed.

OUTRAGE IN MISSOURI

ONE NKGRO 31 OUT ALLY WOUNDED AND OTHERS FLOGGED. Settlement of Illnrks to De Deatroyetl Warned by Whlteeapn Negro Lynched by Negroes. NEELYVILLE, Mo., Jan. 2.-A gang of white men, disguised as whitecaps, visited a number of negroes near here last night, riddled their houses with bullets, wrecked their furniture and gave five colored men notice to leave the country within twenty days or they would be revisited, their homes burned and the occupants hanged. The vicinity where the outrages occurred contains about twenty negro farmers, who are tenants of wealthy residents of Poplar Bluff. They are peaceful, law-abading; thrifty and prosperous. The whitecaps first visited the home of Nelson Simpson. He was called to the door, and, on his appearance, was greetedwith a shower of bullets. He fell mortally wounded. Other negro residents were then visited and after receiving harsh treatment were warned to leave this vicinity. Lynched by Ills Own Raee.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3. After midnight this morning the saloons of Chicago were closed more tightly than ever before. A second warning delivered to the saloon keepers by the police In no uncertain terms caused the down-town all-night places, which have heretofore ignored the order, to draw their shutters at the stroke of midnight and search In out-of-the-way places for rusty keys to lock the doors. The order was final and imperative, and was obeyed as such. Threats of raiding the saloons and backing up patrol wagons to the doors to carry off the liquors, accompanied by warrants for the arrest of the proprietors, were freely made by the policemen who notified the saloon keepers. R001I ENOUGH AT THE TOP. A Professor of Steeple Climbing; Tulks Interestingly Abont Ills Profession. Cleveland Leader. Climbing tall church steeples is an easy, healthful and pleasant way of making a living, according to Joseph B. Terry, the man who recently repaired and painted the spire that towers skyward high above the roof of St. John's Cathedral, at Erie and Superior streets. He has been long at the business and has made enough money to retire in a year or so and spend the remainder of his Jlf comfortably on the ground at his farm near Alpena, Mich. Perry is getting toward forty-nine years now, and he says that when a man is fifty years old he is old enough to give up the steeple Jack business. He is one of . the most famous steeple climbers in the country, and although he has taken all kinds of chances in his work, he has never been hurt. In repairing the steeple of St. John's Cathedral in this city he took about as dangerous a chance as has fallen to the lot of any one. He came here the day after the wind storm that seemed to be blowing the spire over almost, and, although the wind was about as high that day, he ascended the steeple and tied a rope around it. He went up inside the steeple to the highest point where there was a chance to get out, and from there threw a small rope around the base of the cross at the top. With this he pulled a heavier rope Into place and was ready for work. He put a strong rope around the steeple where it was beginning to crack open, attached a block and tackle to this and tightened the rope until the steeple was squeezed together again and the crack closed. Thli put an end to the danger of the steeple blowing apart for the time being, and after the wind moderated he climbed the steeple again and repaired it thoroughly. This took a week. For this work, although he could not work all the time on account of the wind and rain, Mr. Ferry got $225. When he was through he made a contract to paint the portions of the spire that need repainting. Next spring he will gild the great twelvefoot cross that surmounts the steeple. The gilding cannot be dene in winter, because the gold leaf cannot be made to stick in cold weather. Mr. Terry is well known all over the United States and Canada, being, perhaps, the best known steeple climber in the country. All the summer he has been in New York repairing one and another of the tall steeples there. It is interesting to hear the steeple climber talk of the things he has done high above the heads of the people In the streets. "I mado $110 before breakfast one morning," he said to a reporter. "It was at my home In Alpena. The wind had blown tho cross from the top of the spire of one of the churches. The steeple Is 204 feet high and the new cross that was to be put on was sixteen feet high and ten feet across There were some little windows in the spire about fifty feet from the top and I went inside the steeple until I reached them. That much of it was easy. They had a man working for a week to put up the cross and he had failed. He built a scaffold up from tin roof of the church, thinking that he would be able to reach the top in that way He didn't get as near the top with the scaffold as a boy could go in five minutes by climbing up the inside of the steeple to the highest windows. When he was through they pent for me. They thought I oughr to go up as far as the other man's searToi'! went, but I didn't want any of that in mine. I never used a scaffold in my life. I wouldn't trust myself on a scaffold. "They were in a hurry to have the cross placed on top of the steeple and sent for me to do It. They offered me fllO for the job. I got up at G o'clock in th mornin? and went up inside of the steeple to wher the llttlo windows are. Then I got out and climbed the lightning rod to the top of the steeple, fastened a block and tackle and had the men on the ground below hoist the cross up to me. I put It in place and testened it no that nothing less than a hurricane could blow it away and then cam? down and went to breakfast. It was less than a two hours' Job and it was making money faster than I ever made it before or have since. "The easiest money I ever made was by ccls3 la balloon. I trrptnti to ba

This was to make it lock as thoth it was a very dangerous thing to go tp in a balloon.

There was a '-steeple 154 fer.t high, and they wanted soricbody to put a css in place on top of ;lt. The spire was a slender one, and it iwas thought that it would not be strong tenough for a man to go on top of it. Thjy advertised for two years for eome one j to put the cross in place, and no one t-ndertook the Job. I rriade up my mind that I could do it all right, and I did.
