erhood Looking After Coutractural
Rights.

NEW YORK. Nov. Il.
Saturday was held the last of the six days
sessions Of base ball men. The American
Association suffered another desertion Fri
day. Kansas City resgning to accept a place
in the Western Association. This left only
st Louis, Louisville. Columbus, Baltimore
and the Athletics. while even the Baltmores
were not highly enthusiastic and voted blank
on every question put before the delegates.
The cluh-owners. while declaring that sew
eral of the players had been signed by their
own clubs, refused to give the names of any
of the men The friends of the Brother
ho d laughed at these statements, and said
that if the cub-owners had succeeded in
signing any of their oil PLAYERS they would
only be too glad to make the names public.
II is a fact. nevertheless, that one of the
Br0therhood men offered to sign a League
contract, but the salary he demanded was 80
far in excess of what he received last year
that his proposition was refused.
There is still difference of opinion as to
whether the Indianapolis and Washington
clubs will remain in the League.
Colonel John |. Rogers, the legal light of
the League. moved in the League meeting
the appended resolution:
Resolved, That the League hereby de-
clares that it will aid each of its club mem
bers in the enforcement of the contractual
rights of said clubs to the services Of its re-
served players for the season of 1890; and
that committee of three be appointed by
the League with full power to formulate and
carry out the best methods of enforcement
of said coDtractual rights of said clubs; and
that such committee be authorized to draw
upon the guarantee fund Of the League for
such amounts as NAV be necessary to carry
out the intent of this resolution.

cipation OF Slaves.

Dom Pedro was born December 2, 1925.
His father, Dom Pedro I, was the first en-
peror of Brazil and was the son Of King John
vi ani Queen Don Maria l Of Portugal.
The ro,al family fled to Rio when the
French entered Portugal in 1907, and when
they returned the Prince Regent remained,
and became emperor after the revolution Of
1922. He sbdicated in 1881 in favor Of his
son, the present emperor, Who was then only
five years old. and. returning to Portugal,
drove out his usurplng brother, Don Miguel
and enjoyed short lived reign.
Dom Pedro IL was declared to be Of age
at fourteen by act Of the Brazilian legislature,
and was crowned July Is, Is41 His reign
has been an era of continued progress and
prosperity for country that had been con.
| stantly distracted bv the quarrels Of factions
and frequently torn by civil war. The nation
has made great advance in the path Of civil
zation and Of material development Popu.
lation has increased. schools have been es-
tabli.hed, ra ways built, vast tracts Of coun
try explored and settled. and lines Of steam
commune cation established upon the grea,
interior rivers, As well as between the sea
ports and the United States and Europe.
But the crow ming act Of all was the emanci.
patton Of the slaves.
On May u, 1888. the Brazilian Legisla'
ture passed an act abolishing slavery. This
WAS done under the regency Of the Princess
| Isabella, or, a. she was then, the Countess
| D'Eu. she having married Count DEu, q

Several months ago an attempt was mad
to assassinate the aged Emperor as he va
leaving the opera. One Of his daughter
was leaning on bis arm at the moment that
mauiac in the crowd fired pistol at thu
monarch. The Emperor was not hit, an'
the incident attracted little attention, beinl
devoid Of political significance.
