ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE pIsPATcH.l
New YORK, September 2O.-A syndicate
has been formed in this city, consist
ing of some of its most wealthy
and enterprising business men. This
syndicate are after a plot of ground
on Eighth avenue, from One Hundred and
Fiity-seventh to One Hundred and Fifty
ninth streets, and is willing to pay $50, 600
year for its rental, subject to the expiration
OF John b. Days lease of the present fo!o
Grounds. One member of this
syndicate has offered to get 81, 600, O0O 10
back the BROTHERHOOD, he offering SzOo,OoV
himself The agreement for the lease o, o,
the ground has been drawn up in legal
form and may be signed tomorrow.
The syndicate will take the ground for 3,
10 or 20 years. Some of the most active
movers Of this scheme to break the monopoly
are at present members of the New YORK
club. 1t is also claimed that plans on a
similar basis are being perfected In all the
principal cities of thecountry. So complete is

have been overlooked, even to the purchas-
ing of baseball supplies. Agents are
already located in five of the cities, and
players will not be afraid to
sign contracts with the parties
interested, as they are backed
financially as we'll as the present magnates.
Since the New Yorks opened the present
grounds thew have made over SlOO, 600, and
the club values its franchise at S5OO,0OO, If
not mora.
Mr.. James j. Coogan is said to be the
New York representative of the syndicate;
When Mr.. Coogan was seen tonight he said
that these statements are true, although he
had no interest whatever in the scheme,
and is not at liberty to make known
the names of the gentlemen who
are interested. He thought, however, that
the scheme would be a great success fnan-
cially. He is greatly opposed to the present
system under which baseball is run, and
says that the profits should not be con-
trolled by few persons alone, but the
players should also reap the benefits of the
vast incomes derived from the games.
Among baseball enthusiasts in this city to-
night the scheme was laughed at, and not a
few said that the mere fact OF Mr.. Coogan
refusing to give the name of anyone con-
cerned in the proposed scheme showed that
it was all myth.

SPECIAL NEW PRAYERS.
A Glance at Some of the Proposed Changes
for Episcopalians.

for Episcopalians.
PHILADELPHIA, September 20.-"More
prayers" will be the cry heard at the next
General Convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church soon to be held in New York.
The committee of Is appointed at the last
convention to suggest needed changes or ad-
ditions to the present liturgy has just pre-
pared its preliminary report for the October
meeting.
The principal features of the committed IS
report are the "Book of Offices" a series of
services for special occasions, and numerous
new prayers. Among the latter are pc
titions for the reunion of Christendom, for
children, for young men, for those who serve
God under difficulties, for those who are
obliged to work on the Lords day, for the
rich, and for the army and navy. The
prayer for the rich is as follows
o, Almighty God, we beseech Thee to send
Thy grace upon those whom Thou hast in
trusted with great possessions, that they may
praise Thee in their lives, honor Thee with
their wealth, and lead others by their example
to seek for that inheritance which the beloved
Son will give to all those who have followed
Him. Have mercy upon such as neglect to
minister to the wants of Thv poor; and grant
that, remembering the account of their stew
dTuSUlp WHICH luey muSG one udy give, JDey
may be faithful almoners of Thy bounty, and
so at last attain to Thy heavenly kingdom,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Changes in the liturgy were first pro-
posed in 1880, said Bishop o. w. Whitaker
last evening. cat first public opinion
seemed to favor amendments and additions,
but in the convention of 1888, and still
more, in that of 1886, reaction appeared,
and it is my belief that there is now decided
opposition to any further changes. Slight
alterations in the prayer book were finally
decided ON three years ago, and other modi-
ications passed on favorably at that time
The move for new prayers is not at all a
party affair, and has won little strength.
The changes proposed do not affect the
essentials of Church teaching, but are SIM
ply extensions of the liturgy, made to suit
modern conditions of life"

Chinese high binders were before the police
court this morning. They had been arrested

were about to execute sentence of death
passed by the local council of the Chez
Kong Lung Sociely. The prisoners were
All Lee and Lung Ling. Their cases were
continued in order to give the police time
to look up the evidence which they expect
will be sufficient to prove conspiracy to
commit murder.
A Chinese messenger called on Chief
Speers and notified him that the person
a fellow countryman-by whom he mad
been sent, was being tracked by two
highbinders, who had been ordered to
kill him because he had given the
police certain information concerning
robbery which had been committed by mem
bers of the Chez Kong Lung Society. The
chief was told where he could
see the victim being followed
bv the high binders. Two
detectives were put on the case and the
messengers story proved to be true. They
arrested All Lee and Ling Lung. On the
latter's person were found two revolvers
and a murderous Chinese dirk. The police
are seeking further evidence in the case.

A SERIOUS WAR AvERTED.
How Gallant General Conner Prevented a

How Gallant General Conner Prevented a
Rebellion Among Mormons.
New York world.I
while in Salt Lake City recently" said
Mr.. A. G. Gunter. the well-known author
and playwright, I met the venerable Gen
eral Conner, who at the head OF regiment
of California volunteers, marched from San
Francisco to Salt Lake in 1868 and saved
Utah from going out on little rebellion Of
her own. The old gentleman is as gallant
soldier and as good Republican as ever,
in spite of what his friends think is the
shameful way in which he has been treated
by the Harrison administration. General
Conner's war record is one of the most fa-
nous on the roster. He built Camp
Douglas, just out of Salt Lake, and
for years held the rebellious Mormons in
subsection. He led a regiment of cav
airy and couple Of companies of infantry
up to the now historic battle ground near
Bear river, on the Utah and Idaho line, and
almost wiped out the hostiles who had gath
cred there to massacre the settlers in Idaho,
and to stand in with the Mormons in plum
dering the supply trains which came down
the mountain trail from Virginia City,
Helena and the great Montana mining
camps for supplies to be got in those days
only at Salt Lake City.
''The mercury was 20 degrees below zero
when, sending the infantry ahead with his
supplies and following them secretly in the
night with his cavalry, to throw the Nor
mon traitors off the track, General Conner
marched up to the bloody fight. Well, he
covered himself with glory, as be did in all
his fights, and saved the settlers lives. He
has lived in Salt Lake ever since, always a
sturdy Republican. He wanted an oficein
Utah, or his friends wanted it for him, from
the Harrison administration. Did he get it?
By no means. Ex-senator Saunders, Rus
