"A COLLISION AT SEA
Two Vessels Crash in q Fog Off
 Delaware BreakWater.
CLEOPATRA AANDCRYsrAL WAVE
The Grew of Both Vessels Picked Up by
 Passing Stt amship.

Came Together In the Dark When Going
 Eight Knots an Hour-The Cleopatra
 Remained AhIat Four Hours and the
 Crystal Wave Sank in g Few Minutss-
 The Cleopatra Insured.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 31. - Thirty-nine shipwrecked sailors were brought into port yesterday on the steamer Kanawha to tell the story of collision by which two well-known steamers, the Cleopa- tra and the Crystal Wave, were lost of the Delaware Breakwater.
 The Cleopatra belongs to the Old Do- minion Line, and sailed from West Point, Va, for this port with a cargo of cotton last Monday morning. On Tues day morning, when about eight miles southeast of the Delaware lightship, she encountered the steamer Crystal Wave. There was a dense fog.
 The Cleopatra struck the Crystal Wave between the stem and the paddle-box, stavlng big hole in her side and re- ceiving blow which knocked a hole in her ownjbow. Both vessels began to leak rapidly. The Crystal Wave went down int Jess than half an hour. Captain Martin ordered the boats lowered, and with the thirteen members of the crew he pulled away from his rapidly sinking craft.
 In the meantime the Cleopatra had began to fill. Captain Dole tried to stop the food by filling the hole in her bow with cotton, but was unsuccessful. Her crew of twenty-six men and Capt. Dole took to the boats. Then the Kan awha put in an appearance and both crews were picked up. The Cleopatra still fioated and the Kanawha made an effort to tow her to this port. A hawser was made fast and for four hours she was toWed. She was settling gradually.
 In the hold were 1, 900 bales of cotton. This wSe soon saturated and began to swell. sfrhe decks were burst off and then the sides of the vessel began to spreads The hawser was cut, The next minute the sides of the Cleopatra gave way and she sank flush with the water. The total loss is placed oat SIOO. 900.
 Tho Cleopatra was built at Mystic, Conn.,, in 1865. She was rebuilt two years ago. She belonged to the Inter- national Steamboat Company, who sold her to the Old Dominion Line five months ago for sS5, 900. She was in sured. Her cargo was insured for its full value, $50, 900.
 The Crystal Wave was a cotton boat, and was brought here by the Knicker- blocker Steamboat Company to run as a Long Branch eXcurson boat. She was purchased about a week ago by Captain Randall and others, of Washington, fol t45. 900, and left here Sunday night. Cap tain Randall was on board.

MAY CUT THE LEAGUE
The Brotherhood to Hold Q
 Meeting on Monday.
THE FIRST AUTHENTIC REPORT.
A Great Crowd of Ball Players Expected
 at the Conference.

It VIII be Decided Whether the Brother hood Will Meet the League-Buck Ew- ing Predicts Trouble-The Western New Organized.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The first au- thentic report as to what the Base Ball Players Brotherhood will or will not do was given out by Tim Keefe, the secre- tary of the organization to-day. The Brotherhood will meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Monday next at 12 o'clock. Every club in the League will be represented, and as near as Is known the following delegates will be pres ent: O'Rourke, New York; Pfeffer, Chicago, Irwin, Washington; Brouthers, Boston; Glasscock and Denny, Indian apolis; Hanlon, Pittsburg; Faatz, C1eve- land, and Sanders and Buffinton, Phila- delphia.
 In regard to the meeting Keefe said |: ''This gathering will be strictly Brotherhood meeting, at which we will decide as to whether we will meet the League or not. If we agree not to meet the League then we will have busi- ness meeting on Wednesday next. 5 keefe refused to say what sort of busi- ness would be considered at the second
 
 that at the latter meeting several men who are willing to lose their money will be present.
 Keefe says that he expects Q great crowd of ball players at the meeting on Monday, as every member of the Brotherhood has a right to attend, but only delegates can vote. He said that he could not attempt to give an idea of what would be done, for not only would that be a breach of faith, but he did not exactly know himself. He also said that the New York players had no grievances, and that they were all sat- isfied. ''As to the cause of the trouble between the managers and players" continued he, "the classification and sale of players has caused the most of it.' "Wh about the reserve rule?" was asked.
 'Well, baseball could not live with. out it, but many abuses have crawled into this same rule that has in some ways made it farce, and the managers are responsible for it by the high salar. ies they pay. When they want a man they don't seem to care how much they pay for him.''
 What If the League comedies the de- mands of the players ?'' ''1 am afraid that even if they did sc they would go back on their word next summer, when they have us under their control.''
 "How about the American Associa l tion?"
 ''Oh, we will not trouble their players and they can just go on as they have been doing.''
 Up at tho Polo grounds Buck Ewing | was found. He said: 1T hope this | trouble will be settled, but am afraid | it will not. As far as tho New Yorks are concerned, they are satisfied. The whole kick has been made by the Pitts burg and Indianapolis clubs, and we have been called on to stand by them As for MT. Day, he is a good man in a bad place. If his advice had been fol lowed, there would not have been any trouble. Still, he has to suffer with the ] rest" asa

He Has No Hope of Getting on . Return
 Match With La Blanche.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81.-Jack Demp- sey has given up all hope of getting on g. return match with La Blanche, the Marine, who recently defeated him.
