istence Next Year.

Inc Playere' League VIII he In Elk.
istence Next Year.
In parlor G Of the Continental Hotel in Phila.
delphia yesterday . meeting of the leaders OF
the Payer League Of base ball men was held
for the purpose OF adopting some plan by which
the organization may be continued on . profit
able bssia At the outset IL MAS claimed that
the three associations cannot thrive or hope
for success. Money has been lost almost every
where, and IN many instances il happened that
dates conficted, 80 that with three clubs play
ing at time neither had enough spectators TO
pay expenses.
The chief idea Of the present congress IL 70
do away with the three-cIub plan and have
only two clubs for each city, with one for
York. To do this IL is necessary for the Play
ers League people 70 consolidate with the
others and 50 keep intact two organizations.
The hackers or capitalists have talked the
matter over, and although they have not
certain they will oppose the arrangement that
prevailed last summer. In this situation the
members OF the Players League naturally
want to know what chance they have of get
ting into the swim" or OF organising on their
It is understood that Capt John M. Ward of
the Brooklyn Players League Club would take
his men to another city or unite with New
York. But Brooklyn would not be needed as
with Buffalo there are eight clubs in the league.
So the meeting today is to see what can be
done in the matter. Really reduced to q plain
proposition it 10 whether the Players League
is to live or die, or whether the National
League shall swallow it up.
The present movement was arranged by
Messrs Prince and Hart of the Boston Players
League Club and the Wagner brothers of the
Philadelphia Players Club, together with other
members Of the brotherhood.
The plan most favored is the adoption Of Q
resolution calling on leading men, both players
and capitalists, or hackers, Of New York and
other cities to guarantee the formation Of
syndicate for the purpose Of signing Of players
Of the New York National League Club, and if
the Brooklyn hackers should consider this
favorably to form consolidation.
Among those present at the convocation yes
terday were: Capt John M. Ward of New York,
the Wagner Brothers of the Philadelphia club,
Oh aries Hart, Ira B. Kirkland, John Prince
and Arthur Irwin of the Boston club Henry b.
Rea and Ed Hanian Of the pittsburg club, Mr..
Sharsig, manager of the Athletic club and
Charles Mason, one of tho former managers;
Editor Francis Richter of the Sporting Life and
Mr.. Francis Brunell, who started the move
ment and is secretary. The New York and
Brooklyn clubs are represented by proxies
The meeting was held with closed doors
The conference adjourned at o'clock in the
afternoon, and although no resolution was
passed it was agreed that Q Players League
shall be organized for next year. The plan
will be perfected at meeting to be held next
Tuesday at Pittsburg.

THEY WANT AMERICANS.
4 Nephew of.the Famous Gen. Barrio
Talks About Guatemala.

A Nephew of.the Famous Gen. Barrios
Talks About Guatemala.
A Chicago dispatch says Col J. E. Barrios, q
nephew of the famous general who was killed
while leading the army Of Guatemala in the
disastrous war Of 1885, arrived yesterday direct
from Central America. 1t is evident that Mr..
Barrios has a lingering hope that
his uncle's ambition, the union Of Gen.
trail America, will some day be accomplished.
He even goes farther, firmly believing that
America should be for Americans and that as
his people are as much American as those Of
the United States the whole North American
continent will in time be under ono govern
ment OF the recent condition Of Guatemala
he speaks in most interesting and somewhat
novel way.
''One hundred and thirty acres Of land can
be bought from the government for $780," he
said in the course of conversation last evening.
This offer 10 open also 10 foreigners, and, in
deed, We are anxious that foreigners should
settle among us, for in the entire country we
have . population but little larger than that of
your city. / have known several Of your people
earning but els week at home who
came to Guatemala and became wealthy
in q few years. You see, living
Is cheap and laborers receive but thirty-seven
cents per day. While our natural wealth is
comparatively uRdreamed o. by the world We
are developing Nbnderfully, and the world will
know more of Us upon the completion of a rail-
road now being constructed from the city Of
Guatemala to Livingston on the Atlantic coast.
When that 10 finished we shall trade more with
the United States, with which we also hope to
establish reciprocity certain lines OF goods. +"

NO RECOUNT IN NEW YORK.
Secretary Noble Disallows Mayor
Granf,s Second Annlicaf ion

Secretary Noble Disallows Mayor
Grants Second Application.
Secretary Noble yesterday sent Q letter 70
Mayor Grant refusing his second application
for RECOMMENDATION Of the inhabitants Of the
city of New York The Secretary refers to the
evidence upon which the application was based
and states that it was not of such . character
- to warrant his reference Of the case back TO
the superintendent Of the census, a. would be
proper in the event that other facts had been
presented than those considered by the SUPER
intendsnt in his former action The Secretary
adds:
TO have secured such sction by the Secre-
tary would have required a full present ation of
all the proof in the possession OF the applicant
and the same frank treatment of the Secretary
that the applicant was soliciting for himself
But such has not been the offer made or action
taken by the mayor. The applicant selected to
suit himself i've out Of nine hundred and forty
seven enumeration districts and proposed the
case should be disposed Of on An Investigation
OF the bools relating to these. But he, at the
same time, SAYS these enumeration books do not
include all the population that was returned to
him by the police enumerators."
the Secretary maintains that the possession
OF these acknowledged imperfect records for
examination was the least that could have been
sentative of the mayor was instructed to allow
the books to be examined only under his per-
sonal supervision. THE refusal of the books"
the Secretary states, 'leaves the case substan-
TALLY where il was when the last opinion was
delivered. The offer of the returns Of merely
i've vards out Of 947 districts that are in the
city of New York, and those returns acknowl-
edged TO be imperfect, could have been enter
tanned only upon q most liberal treatment of
the applications; these books having been
Withheld, there 10 no evidence
whatever before the Secretary Of the
authenticity and reliability Of the police count
or OF any insuniciency in the United States
census taken in June. The several other pa
pers, computations and comparisons surren-
dered to the Secretary being those as to death
rates, number Of voters and comparison Of di-
rectory contents are matters that cannot pre-
vail in the face Of An actual count of the people
that was duly taken according TO law. They
do not change the presumption in favor Of the
census Of the United States because of any cal
culations or results in such papers set forth"
The letter concludes as follows:
The Secretary is therefore driven by tho
mayors course Of conduct in refusing his re-
quest, and thus keeping the case utterly bare
OF any facts authorizing q remuneration, to
again disallow the application made, and it is
hereby 90 ordered. The papers that we're de-
iversd are herewith returned, being those
marked Exhibits A, b, c, d, Z, F, g, and H."

TAKING COLD,
The Trouble Explained and Some of
Its Causes Enumerated.

The Trouble Explained and Some of
Its Causes Enumerated.
What do We mean when We say We have
taken cold? In literal sense We have done
no such thing, and . modern writer has sug-
gested that what is called catching cold"
would be better expressed by the phrase
Catching heat" What actually takes place is
something as follows: We expose some part
OF the body to draft; the surface becomes
chilled and the circulation, to some extent, is
arrested; the blood and other fluids are sent in
another direction What should have been
thrown out through the surface is turned in on
the mucous membranes, and "a these parts be-
come congested sneezing takes place; there is
an abnormal quantity Of fluids thrown upon
the mucous surfaces and the system makes an
effort TO get rid of it
Thin taking cold'' may be caused by sitting
Tor few moments in q strong current of cool
air; it may be the back Of the neck that 10 ex-
posed; or 1t might be some other part Of the
body. Holding the hands in very cold water
Tor . considerable length OF time will often
cause one to take cold. Or sitting with cold
feet will do the same thing, especially IL the
general circulation 10 feeble. Clothing one
part Of the body too much and another part
too little will frequently give one q cold. Any
thing that arrests the free circulation Of blood
and sends il on the mucous surface may pro-
duce this effect
The most frequent causes Of all, perhaps,
Of taking cold is the one stated-that Of catch
ing heat" Sitting for hours in 9 room where
the temperature IL eighty degrees or upward
and then going out into q colder atmosphere
frequently produces . cold. This is particu-
larry the case where the air is not only hot, but
impure. In fact, we think the impurity has
more to do with it than the heat, and the two
combined viii rarely fail to cause an infiusnza
or . sore throat; sometimes q full-hedyed
pneumonia By exposing ones self to hot
foul air the whole skin is for the time debSli-
tated, and on reaching cooler atmosphere
the blood IL driven from the surface and con-
gestiou of the mucous membranes will almost
certainly follow; either there 10 ''cold on the
lungs" or o sore throat, or there is An attack
