PRESIDENT sPALDINo TALKING B1n

CHICAGO Nov. 7.--In an interview to-day
President SpaldinR'of the League said:
There Is just 30 much wind In the Brother
hood balloon and suppose 1t has got 10 come
out. Then It may be our turn to say some-
thing. Talking base ball In midwinteT. when
there is nothing much else to do, is q harmless
and very inexpensive pastime. It costs little
money, Of course, to send emissaries from one
end OF the country to the other. but hope the
enthusiastic baoker who is putting up the
cash will feel himself rewarded for the out
lay"
What will the membership OF the League
the coming year consist Off"
There are ten clubs In the League as It now
stands. l don't think the circuit will be
changed from the present membership"
The Brotherhood people seem to be sign
ing more players than the League. How is
The League consider that the contracts
they signed with the players before tho COM
meneement OF last season, giving them an op-
The players seem to be having good deal OF
harmless fun now, naming their own ealaries
mSrESSs document % S eoniSss eS 10 some nSSy sur M
prise & that our @ old PLAYERS % who here,tOioEe
sign, should be 50 carried away by their en-
thusiasm as to put their siGnatures to con-
talist, Possibly the enormous length Of the
contract may have prevented them from fully
comprehending its contents. By the recent
legislation at the annual meeting of
the League, the power Of engaging players for
the next season was taken out Of the hands OF
the individual clubs and invested In a negotia-
ton committee, which, with N. T. Young as
Chairman, and whatever negotiations or CON-
tracts are being made by League clubs must
be made through him. AS It is nearly six
months before 1t will be necessary to put q
team in the field. there is ample time for each
club to select its team, In the possible event OF
the players getting their aggregation on the
diamond. The boys will find there Is some- |
thing else to do to get In full operation besides
the naming OF their own salaries and signing |
contracts"
How do you account for the attitude Of the |
Brotherhood2" |
That is accounted for partly from the fact |
that the public are very apt to take sides with |
the popular favorites, without regard to the |
lustness or fairness Of the questions at issue, |
When the popular excitement which has been |
superinduced by this peculiar and sensational
action OF the brotherhood shall have died
away. the thinking patrons OF base ball will |
moro Justly estimate the services which the
League has rendered in the widespread pro-
motion Of the national game in the past, and, a
reaction having set In. will undoubtedly accord
to 1t their support in the future They will
also stimulate the chances OF the game being
properly conducted under experienced leaders
While the League has undoubtedly made
some mistakes, yet itS fourteen years record
stands behind 1t to-day as an assurance OF its
policy OF purpose In the future"

President Day Of the New York Club be-
lieves. as he did from the first. that the new
Brotherhood scheme is but poorly inflated
bladder. which is liable to burst ut any mo-
ment. Why" said he to SUN man yester-
day. they have absolutely no foundation to
stand on, and when we bring the matter up be-
fore the courts as q test that will be the out
come"
You don't mean to say that the new move-
ment will not materialize ?"
Certainly do. Their contracts with play
ers are not worth the paper they're written on.
and there is not the slightest question in my
mind but that the courts will sustain us.
They've get about ono chance in hundred to
succeed Now you have It."
Have you signed any players 2"
Not man as yet; nor have / asked any
one. l have notified each and every man Of
the New York Club. however, that the con-
tracts were ready for their signature, and 1
will say to you that am confident every one
whom we wantwll be found in the ranks again
next season."
But won't 1t be a little late to bring action
when the clubs OF the new League are well un-
der way 2"
oh, but we don't propose to wait that long.
We shall proceed against them very soon now.
Just to save them some money. 80 to speak.

SwindIing " Saints

In a suit recently entered in the Su-

in chancery the fact was developed
that one of the Infamous practices of a
corporation in existence until March,
1887, under the title OF "The Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints"
was to impose upon the credulity Of
unsopbisticated foreigners and obtain
from them such money and valuablcs
as they possessed, ostensibiy to be held
in trust, and keep it for tho private
use Of the so-called saints OF the church.
In the above suit the petitioner. ono
Carl P. Carlson, through his attorney.
was allowed his full claim, some five
thousand dollars with interest thereon,
and an order was made upon the re-
ceiver Of the defunct corporation for
the amount .--.---

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
A Project on Foot to Add It to the Coun-
- try by Purchaso.


try by Purchase.
Many people in the southern part OF
the State of California are interested
In a project to add to this Republic by
friendly purchase from Mexico the
territory of Lower California Mr..
Vandever. one of the Representatives
of California in Congress, has sug-
gested a plan for such an annexation.
He is Of the opinion that, for the sum
Of, say twenty million dollars, Mexico
would be quite willing to part with
Lower California, as it puts the region
to very little use, and has already.
granted a large portion of it to an
American commercial and colonizing
company.
Lower California has not, indeed,
received any development worth men,
ton under the rule of either the Span
iards or the Mexicans. 1t has always
been regarded by them as almost val
ueless. A great part of this peninsula,
which extends for more than seven
hundred miles along the western coast
OF Mexico, Is mountainous, and other
parts are arid and sterile. There is,
however. on the other hand, much
land that might be rendered product
i've under enterprising development,
and unquestionably a certain wealth in
minerals exists. The climate of tho
greater part of Lower California is
said to be quite as delightful and sa-
lub"ious as that of Southern Cali
fornia, and the occupation of 80 much
of the land in the latter section by set
tlement has attracted attention to the
great peninsula to the southwark.
But Americans do not like to settle
in a foreign land. They are excellent
colonists, but only under their own
flag. 1t is not at all likely that citi-
zens of the United States would settle
in any large numbers in Lower Cali
fornia unless that territory were made
a part OF this Republic. Our people
have no disposition to possess them
selves OF this reg ion. or of any other,
for that matter, except with the
friendly consent of the power to which
it is now subject Having this fact in
view, it is stated that the representa-
tive from California named above,
Mr.. Vandever, will, at the next ses-
sion Of Congress, present resolution
looking to purchase.
1t appears strange, beyond a doubt,
that so vast a country as Lower Cali
fornia should have remained for cent
uries undeveloped and dalmostunsettled,
1fitis indeed a region capable Of profit
able development; but it is to be re-
membered that nearly all the territory
we have acquired from Mexico, in
Guiding California itself, was practi-
cally an unde veloped wilderness until it
came under the influence OF American
enterprise. 1t is not at all probable
that Lower California would ever be a
second California or Texas. 1t does
not appear to possess more than q
fraction of the natural resources of
either of those great States It
might, possibly. make promising
new Territory If it could be acquired
under advantageous circumstances;
but the project will be far more inter
esting to the people of California than
to those Of any other part Of the coun-
try.-Youth's Com panion.

She is wondering if her father will come

HALPlNE TORPEDO BOAT.
ASu'cessful Application of Electricity II
Naval Warfare.

ASucessful Application of Electricity In
Naval Warfare.
yFsfo rapid advance made by electricity
in Wtrfare is evidenced by novel tor
pedoboat recently given public trial
in the waters of New York Bay. The
Halpne torpedo-boat is of copper, cigar
like in form, having total length Of
twenty three feet, with diameter of
twenty-four inches, and carries a she'll
four feet long, ten inches in diameter,
and capable of holding one hundred
pounds of explosives. This torpedo-boat
is the first one of the kind which carries
within itself its own power, the electric
force being derived from a storage bat
terry within the boat. The torpedo-boat
also carries it's own shell, which can be
made TO leave the apparatus at the will
of the operator on the shore, or it is dis
charged automatically when an impede
ment is encountered, or the netting now
usedby war vessels to guard against the
approach of torpedoes. A short spar
with javelin head prOtrudes from the
bow of the torpedo-boat, and when this
becomes entangled in the netting of q
man.of-war, two pieces OF steel, like
those of alilly-iron on harpoon, open
and help to hold the entangled spar and
draw it out, which gives dip to the
torpedo-boat and fires the charge which
drives out the loaded shell. The tor
pedo-shell then takes a downward di-
rection, and, having its own motion, is
unit, and is destroyed when exploded;
while the boat is independent of its
proiectile, and, being controlled by
wire from the shore, returns to it's point
of departure. The problem of con-
structing an independent boat Having
its own motor power, and carrying a
shell to be fired from it, which can be
backed automatically to a position of
safety prior to the discharge of the ex-
plosive, whereby the boat proper remains
uniniured, the boat being capable Of
constant usage" has apparently been
yo1ved by Lieutenant Nicholas j. Hal
pine, of the United States navy, the de-
tails of the electrical work and construc-
ton having been carried out by Mr.. Ar
thur w. Savage. The supposed security
against torpedo attacks furnished by
rope or wire netting will be dispelled
by the Halpine torpedo-boat, although
the full series of experiments with it has
yet to be made.-Demorest's Monthly.
