' Seattle, March 2. The directors of
the Pacific Northwest baseball league
met in this city this afternoon, and fin
ally determined upon the circuit and
other matters for the championship sea
son. Jay C. Smith was on hand to
represent- Salem, the candidate for ad
mission. It was decided, after a
spirited discussion, that the league cir
cuit should remain unchanged,1 inas'
much as it would be inexpedient
have a five-club league, and no tow:
could be found to'join with Salem
increasing it to six clubs. A doubl
championship series was decided upon
the season to open April 13th at Spo,
kane and Tacoma. The salary limit
was fixed at $1300 a month for each
club. The secretary was authorized to
. eneaee a staff of umpires. The best of
feeling prevailed, and the delegates re
ported great interest in the game

Salem, March 2. Salem baseball
enthusiasts feel pretty sore over the

grant Salem a franchise, after having
representations made to them that

persons were present. There were sport
ine men from England, Ireland and
every corner of the United States,

supplied its leading professional men
Not a Joke.
Washington, March 2. It has long
been supposed that the candidacy of ex
Senator Blair, of Hew Hampshire, wag
one of the huge" jokes of that erratic pef,
son age. Jtslair while in the senate, was
one of the most witty and humorous
senators on the floor, and when it was
announced that he was a candidate for
president it was supposed to be an out
cropping of the humor that had been so
long pent up, but Governor Little, of
New Hampshire, confirms his candidacy
and his JNew Hampshire inends say
they will be for him. It is reallv one of
the odd freaks of this very popular man.
The WUI is all Right.
San Francisco, March 3. The execu
tor of Mrs. Fair's will says there is no
truth in the report that Charles Fair in
tended breaking his mother's will. The
will provided that in the event of the

to him should be paid to Charles, if liv
ing. Now, James is dead, and the sum
of $500,000, and $180,000 interest, is to
revert to Charles, at the end of six years,
at which time it would have been paid
to his Drotner.

dan's efforts to induce the government

in it tee says the naval vessel is not nec
essary and the proposed price of $1,250,
000 is two-thirds more than it ought to
cost.
