OFF FOR THE PRESENT.
No Immediate Prospect Of Ending the
Base Ball War.

A was generally expected, the result OF the
Players League meeting in placing three play
ers upon the base ball conference committee
put sudden stop to all proceedings Of a con-
ference. The National League conference
committee, composed of six members, Of which
three came from the American Association,
yesterday stood to q man by their agreement
in the original conference Of Octobe. g. Mr..
A. W. Thurman, IT,, chairman Of the confer
ence which met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
New York yesterday, refused to call the meet
ing to order until Irwin, Ward and Hanlon,
the players representatives, left Ward and
Irwin each made an address as to why the
players should be represented on the COM
mittee. Ward claimed that they had as much
right as the capitalists and then referred to
the fact that Spalding and Barnie were ex-ball
players, and that they should not be allowed to
take part in any of the deliberations if the
present delegation Of brotherhood players we're
not All this was listened to with respectful
attention, Notwithstanding the proceedings
were OF an informal character.
Finally it was decided that they should re-
tire, the conference should be called to order
and the admission Of the players should then
be considered.
THE PLAYERS EXCLUDED.
MIR. johnson at once moved, and il was
seconded by E. B. Talcott, that in compliance
with instructions from the Players League
their delegation be increased from three MEM
bers to six by the addition of Ward, Irwin and
Hanlon This caused considerable discussion,
and during the heated part of the argument
motion WAS made to adjourn, but it was finally
Withdrawn. Tho vote was finally taken on
Johnson's motion, with the following result:
Yeas-Johnson. Talcott and Goodwin. Nays
Thurman, Won der Abe, Barnic, Spaiding, Day,
Byrne.
WHAT THE CoNFEREEs SAY.
When the vote was announced the Players
League delegates withdrew from the room and
Mt o'clock the conference was declared adj
journed subject to the call Of the chair.
Chairman Thurman made u statement to the
reporters after adjournment, which was in
substance that the conference committee was
organized with the understanding that there
were to be three organizations represented.
Mr.. johnson, in response to Mr.. Thurman's
statement, said that tho Players League
thought 1t should have an equal representa-
ton In the conference. and as this was not
allowed, the only thing was for them to with
draw
The players themselves appeared to treat the
matter unconcernedly. and, from their stand
point. they believe that the Players League
can exist another year.

caused row in their assembly room Monday
night, In which Frederick Bean and Clifton S.

ner. have boen cruising for several days past

Fined for Having q Razor.

A colored cart driver, named Charlie Will
iiams, had in his possession last evening a
razor blade, such as is carried for cutting and
not for shaving purposes. Charlie was out on
lark aud Policeman Heide arrested him.
Williams understood we'll the probable result
Of carrying such a deadly weapon, and he at
tempted to get rid of thu evidence, but the
officer WAS watching him, and when the razor
blade was thrown away the policeman picked it
up. Charlie attempted to explain his possession
Of the weapon when arrsigned before Judge
Miller this morning. He said that he found
the blade on the Glenwood road and that it
jumped out of his pocket when he was running
from the officer. The next time you see a
razor on the road" said Judge Miller, ..you
had better let it remain there" The fine i'm
posed Was $50 or three months on the farm

A SIGNIFICANT CONTEST.
A Gladstonian Returned to Parliament
in the Eccles Election.

One Of the most significant and widely
watched political contests in England took
place yesterday in the parliamentary election
in the Eccles division Of southeast Lancashire.
DIR. Roby, the Gladstonian candidate, was re-
turned by n vote of 49Oi to 1886 for Mr.. Eyer
ton, conservative. The division was a con-
servative stronghold. Mr.. Egerton was very
popular and the liberals hardly expected a VIC
tory themselves. The contest was fought on
the question of English misrule OF Ireland
The London Ne,cs says that the result of the
Eccles election will make the demand for the
dissolution Of parliament louder than ever
The Chronicle says the election was fought on
the eight hour and not ON the Irish question,
and that the result is great triumph for the
new unionism
The Post says that when the real moment for
national decision is reached the double issue
by which Eccles was won will be O very small
Item in the general result.
The Times admits that the result was due to
the return of the Gadstonians to their allie
glance. coupled with Mr.. Robys acceptance of
the eight hour and teetotal vote.
The Standard says: 1t is futile to deny that
the result OF the Eccles election disappoints
the unionlsts. We regret that although the
conservatives maintained their ground. they
failed to emulate the Gladstonians in securing
new votes"
The result Of the election was a genuine sur
prise to both parties. The interest in the con-
test was intense and for several hours last even
Ing thousands of persons crowded Fleet street
III London awaiting the announcement of the
vote. When the news came the liberal clement,
which greatly predominated, set up a tremen-
dous cheer which was again aud again taken
up as the full significance would force itself
upon the minds OF the delighted liberals.
MIR. Koby, the liberal candidate, was favored
both by the temperance and the labor organi-
cations. having declared himself for an eight
hour law, and also for local option to licens-
ing the sale OF intoxicating liquors and against
compromising pubicans at the expense OF the
rate payers withdrawal of license. The Irish
vote IN the district, about 600 strong, also voted
soidly for Roby. The conservative candidate,
Mr.. Egerton. had on his side the influence long
exercised by his family and extensive owners
Of mines and was supported by the Church of
England Temperance Society.
