A CnuoNicLK reporter yesterday visited a number of tiie tailors of this city with a view to getting a statement from tin ni of tho difference in the prices of woolen goods this winter compared to last, or before and after the passage of the McKinley tariff bill. A tailor knows more about tiie actual effect of tiie tariff upon wearing apparel than all the politicians from Fuget Sound to I tost on bay.

McKinley and his lieutenants say that the tariff does not attack the common comodities of life but simply the luxuries of the rich man like evres, Chinas, ehampaigne and handkerchiefs of point dAlencon. A well known tailor and draper of the. city says, no. For his reasons he furnished the reporter with the following biil of particulars to prove that the McKinley bill has increased the price of a $30 suit. Increased itutyon 34 yards of cloth 1.50 In reused du on 3 yaid.

of inner IncivaMd duty on binding 25 Increase duty on Ab r.leen doth 20 Increased duty on braid tnmmings, buttons, twist, thread, etc 1.50 Bortland, Spokane and Tacoma are all lively, progressive, sport-loving cities, and there is no reason why baseball should not be established in the Northwest on a paying basis. Seattle is taking tlio lead in the good work, and the directors of Her club are using every effort to build up the sport here and make its welfare one of vital interest. A plan is under way to increase the capita stock to $20,000, and it will probably be carried out- Scoretary Rockwell was in the city yesterday, and in a talk with a Bost-Intelligencer reporter expressed himself with great confidence as to the success, financially and otherwise, of the leaguo. We intend to run the league this year, said he, on strictly business principles, and we will be greatly aided in our work by the experience of last season. A good stop has already been taken by tho hiring of player-managers, which will save the extra expense of a salary that a manager would draw who doesnt don a uniform.

While we are going to practice economy, it will not be at tho expense of the game. The people will be treated to as good or a better article of ball than we had last year. The clubs will all be well matched playing strength, too, which will go a great way in keeping up the interest. I have received letters from Mr. Bartlett and Mr.

Lang, who are at the head of base ball allairs in lort Townsend, in which they say that they feel that the patronage tnere will not justify them in putting a club in the league this year. They are going, however, to keep up the interest the game by means of a strong amateur team located there. In 1892 they feel confident that the growth of the town and tho increased interest in base bail will warrant their entering the league with a strong team. The league directors hold a meeting in Tacoma to-day, when we will perfect our plans for the coming campaign. A part of the business will be to talk over the schedule, although it will not be made out until later.

Attest: C. O. Downing, City Clerk, Manager Barnes Will Soon Commence Signing Flayers for the Season of 1S91. THE RECORD OF ABNER POWELL. Portland's Prospective Managr-The Prospects of the League Mention of Well-Known Flayers.

Manager Barnes will within a few days begin to sign players for the ensuing season. The club will be made up principally of last seasons men, and every weak point in the nine will be strengthened. Abnr Powell's Record. As will be seen by reference to the CiUiOMOLKs telegraphic columns, Abner I'owcll will not manage the Seattle team, as was intended, but will either play in Spokane or nowhere. 1owell is a good man.

Ilis experience on the diamond is a wide one. Ho first came into prominence as an outfielder and change pitcher for the Washington Citv club, which wou the championship of the Eastern league in 1885. In 188t he was with tne Baltimore and the Cincinnati clubs of the American association, but was kept on the bench nnd had no chance to display his ability. During 1HH7 and 18S8 lie made a great record with New Orleans in tiie Southern league. In 188'J under his management the Crescent City team toek the lead in the Southern league race and distanced ail its rivals up to the time of the disbandment of the league in July.

He then took the management of tho Hamilton, Ontario, club, of the International league, and although it was a hopeless tailender, he built up the nucleus of a Btrong team. Last season the Hamilton club, under his leadership, was a strong factor in the fight for the pennant up to the time of its disbandment in July for lack of financial support. lowells services were then secured by Manager Barnes, and he finished the season with Spokane, aiding materially in placing her in first place. Bowed is a good fielder, a strong batter and an excellent base-runner, In 188lJ in forty games played with Hamilton, he had a batting average of .322, stole twentyhsix bases, and scored thirty runs. Last season with Spokane his batting average in forty-six games was .319, with twenty-nine stolen bases and fifty runs to his credit.

Above ad he is a heady player and a winner ad over one who never knows when he is de--feated. Off the field Bowed more than holds his own as an intelligent, educated gentleman, with iinsocial and business qualifications. Speaking of Bowed, the Bost-Intelli-gencer says: Months ago, in tn middle of last season, Manager Rockwell, having decided to retire from active work in base bad, selected Bowed as his own successor and recommended him to the directors of the Seattle club. These gentlemen, recognizing the wisdom of Rockwells selection, at once determined that the Spokane Fads outfielder was the proper man to hold the managerial reins of their team during the race of 1891. Rase ball law kept them from approaching their man during the playing season, but fter it was learned that lie was free negotiations ivere at once entered into.

Bowed had strong Inducements held out from Bortland, Binglianinton and other places, but was finally prevailed upon to come here. And without doubt in him Seattle has drawn a prize. The good judgment of Seattle in selecting a player-manager has been recognized by the other clubs of the league. Already Bortland and Tacoma have followed suit, and it is even hinted that a layer will displace John S. Barnes at pokane Falls.

The Bost-Intelligencer is entirely wrong in its last statement. Portland! Manager The mnn who will endeavor to lead Tort land to victory is Glenalvin, who finished last season at second base for the Chicago league team. Robbed of his stars by the Flayers League, Old man" Anson went to work and gathered together a great team of youngsters. Only one position he could not fill to his satisfaction. Man after man was tried and found not up to the mark.

Finally Olenalvin was signed and finished the season to Ansons entire satisfaction. The collapse of the Flayers League will cause the return of Fred Pfeifer, the kingpin of second base-men, to the ranks of the Chicagos. In consequence Spalding was inducod to release Glenalvin in order that he might accept an offer from his present employers. The new Bortland manager belongs to the same class of players as does Abner 1owell sober, Intelligent and conscientious. In 1888 Glenalvin guarded second base for Dubuque, Iowa, of the Central Interstate league, and in 1889 he played In the same organization.

Last year he successfully managed the Wheeling, W. team, in the Tri-state league, and attracted universal attention by his fine nlay at second base. In the middle of the season his release was bought by Anson. In sixty-six games witli the Chicagos Glenalvin hud a batting average of .2158, and ranked fifth among the second basemen with an average of .928. The name of Tacomas manager, who is a well-known player, has not yet been made public.

Prospect of thr League. The outlook in the lacific Northwest league for the season of 1891 is certainly a most ilattering one, says tho Bost-Intelligencer. Within tho last week it has been definitely determined that Fort Townsend will not he in fhe league, which will of cousre put a quietus on any plans that Victoria may have had about coming in. This will leave the circuit the same as last year. Seattle, What a Well-Known Spokane Physician Has to Say Concerning the Lymph.

AN INTERESTING OPINION. The Doctor Disagree Willi the Koch Theory of Consumption ami Gives Sumo Excellent Hensons for so Thinking. Spokane, Jan. 13. To the Editor: You were kind enough to solicit my views of the bacillus of Koch as a cause of consumption and my opinion of tiie lymph cure as a specific for phthisis.

The 8uliject has been so universally discussed that anything to be said or written lias become common property. I may therefore say that after a rich experience with this disease, I do not believe tiie bacillus to be a cause, but a result of this pathological state. 1 am satisfied consumption is not a disease of tiie lungs per se, nor of any one organ of the body. Its principle feature is innutrition. The space I shall give myself is much too short to place before you anything but the most superficial statement of some of the most solvent points.

The fully developed disease Is doubtless communicable under favorable circumstances for its propagation. But were the bacillus of Koch an active cause, phthisis would long since have become a disease of the past, and the only knowledge we would to-day have were its history of dreadful ravages in the human family. The literature of the disease conclusively shows that all children born of phthisical parents, and suckled by mothers with well developed consumption, do not die of the disease. Were thus the bacillus tiie cause and of the active character represented by theorists of to-day, few or none who were in any way exposed in infancy would arrive at maturity, tho phthisical mother would consign her child to an early death immediately she began to nourish her offspring, and the disease must long since have died out for want of material. The lymph cure has taken the profession by storm, nfihre by fear from the reputation of the originator than from any proof so far advanced of its value.

It lias at this early day been conclusively shown to be entirely useless in the fully developed disease; and 1 very much fear it will have but an ephemeral life; history repeating itself as heretofore in the many spaciiics for this disease of late years. 1 should, I suppose end this article here; but a word respecting the pathology of tiie disease may not be out of place. After a careful noting of patients over a long period I am satisfied that age has an influence that can only be accounted for in certain changes that takes place in tiie system at wliat I have been led to designate as critical periods in tiie life of the individual; and certainly can not be attributed to this microcosm. I have never seen the disease developed in an individual earlier than seven years nor later than thirty-five years; the child passing the first period reaches safely the fourteenth year; thus a sequence of seven yeais is established up to thirty-five years. If those predisposed by heri- dity are so fortunate to pass The fourteenth year, and in sequence the twenty-first, twenty eight and thirty-fifth, may have reasonable assurance of having outlived a liability to attack, as the earliest Bymptonis of general failure of the health are usually just preceding the approach to one of the years in the age of the subject as above stated.

AS I dont know how much difference the increased tariff will muke to our customers, he said, because as yet we are using goods bought before the passage of the bill. Tailors are always one year ahead of time, and wo will not purchase goods for a month yet, which will be for next winter wear. I have received circulars from tiie wholesale importers in the east that a pronounced raise in prices had taken place on all tiie coarser domestic goods that tiie poorer classes wear.

As soon as the McKinley bill went into effect every domestic manufacturer took advantage of tiie opportunity and raised the price on his own products. This gives him a double per cent, over his old prices that he was fast growing wealthy at. No, 1 have not heard of the tailors in tiie east receiving advanced pay. It is only the manufacturer who reaps the benefit of the tariff, and the consumer is made to pay for tiie fun. other tailors were visited and expressed about the same opinions.

Few of them had bought goods since November, but all had received intelligence that tliev would have to pay more for them tlian last season, in consequence of the McKinley tariff bill.

It is a melange of wit, of rough dances and special variety features without any great attempt at plot. The main idea is a satire on flat life in New York, in which a German and an Irishman, bent on a nights fun, take the leading parts. In the matter of laughmaking tiie whole performance is a roar from first to last. The wit, while not all original with the authors, is bright and timely, loint follows point like tiie Hash of diamonds. And excellent as the dialogue is, the actors are just as good or better.

Kelly and Williams were veritable cyclones of merriment, while their singing and dancing showed of the best. Miss Elorrie West made an enchanting souhrette and plaved her part with exceptional grace. William Courtwriglit, as the negro janitor, was all the role required, and Harry Kelley, as the policeman, struck the exact mark. Miss Josephine Zella was effective in the more ambitious part of tlio opei a singer and S. G.

Hess was a typical dude. Altogether and 1 must he voted a thorough success, so far as creating plenty of fun is concerned, and this was the demonstrated opinion of the large audience in attendance. Company G. Company G. National Guards of Washington, held a meeting last evening and elected ollicers as follows: Captain, Charles IT.

Several of tiie men and ollicers have had considerable experience in military tactics.

No. 319 Bost street. The Seattle Club. It Is officially announced that Third-baseman Irwin, of the City league, of Chicago, has accepted Seattles terms for the coming season, and will sign a contract as soon ad it is sent on, says tho Bost-Intelligencer. Shortstop Trainor, of the same organization, is also booked to wear either a Seattle or a Tacoma uniform.

With the possible exception of Philadelphia, Chicago is the strongest center of amateur baseball in America, and the City league, from which these two young men come is made up of the cream ot the local talent. Indeed, it is hardly correct to call it ail aniateuer league, as in its ranks are quite a number of men who have played professional bail, and its clubs are able to cope with any of tho minor league teams. Matt Zimmer was graduated from the same school us Irwin and Trainor. and speaks in the highest terms of their playing. They are also Btrongly recommended by Herman Long, Bostons phenomenal short-Btop, who is another graduate of the City league.

The signing of players will start the base ball cranks to speculating on the personnel of the Seattle club. While it is too early to figure with certainty, there are live players who are certain to appear in the make up of the team. Frank Snyder will do the bulk of the catching, and Win Camp will be one of the pitchers. Second base will, of course, be tended by Matt Zimmer, while in the out field Tommy llernon will look after the right garden. Irwin will probably be a fixture at third base if lie comes up to expectations.

AVlio will play first base and short stop is only speculation, although Sam Smith is talked of for the former position. In center field there will be a good man, who is a heavy hitter and who can go in and catch should emergency require. It also exppeted that one of tiie pitchers will be eapable of playing in the out field. Some Spokane Rue Balltsta. The Galveston correspondent of the St.

Louis Sporting News, writes the following, which will be of interest to the cranks of the northwest: In view of the approaching visits of the Louisville and Chicago ball teams, MeCloskey and Work have arranged to bring the following players here to meet the northern visitors during the Mardi Gras series: Huston and Bender, pitchers; McCabe and Spies, catchers; McQuirk, first base; Ward, second base; Hutchinson, shortstop; Beeples, third base; Work, left field; MeCloskey, center field; Strike, right field; Reeder, substitute. The team that will take game away from that crowd will has to do some mighty tall hustling. Mc-Quirk. Ward and Bolhemus are expected here shortly. Note.

The sporting writers of the cities of the Interstate league have nothing but praise for Kilpatrick, who lasted tiie entire season as an umpire in that organization. This is the one-legged man who wants a place on tiie stall of umpires of the Bacilic Northwest league. Tiie Omaha Bee says that Lou and Win Camp will likely be found with an amateur elub of that city the coming season. Lou may, but its dollars to doughnuts that Winfield Scott will be bark in Seattle in trie spring, with a full stock of curves and drops, says the lost-Intelligencer. Speaking of the way ball players exist, the gossipy triller of the Lousville Bost says: Some of them live on chicken during the playing season, and eat the feathers, garnished with snow dumplings, the rest of the year.

Frank Snyder, tiie star catcher of the Bacilic Northwest league, is wintering with his family at ins home in Rockford, III. He will return to Seattle about March 1.
