LOOKS LIKE A COMPROMISE.
Conference Between the League and
brotherhood Probable.

New YORK. October 3.-NOw that the
base ball season is about over, the man
ayers and players readily see the mis-
takes that have been made, and it is
generally believed that a conference be-
tween the fighting factions will be- held
shortly.
The National League will hold a
special meeting at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel on Thursday and formulate its
plans for future actions. and incident
allv try 10 devise a scheme TO hoist base
ball ont OF the hole into which the un-
natural war has buried il. The Players
League officials evidently desire a con-
ference. and the National League is
ready to listen to any suggestion which
its enemy might make. President
Byrnc, OF the Brooklyn League club,
said to-day: a conference may be-
held. a talk over the situation would
certainly do no harm anyway.
Those familiar with tho working Of
the Players League say that organiza-
tion will undoubtedly purchase the Gin
cinnati club outright, and then lay
siege 10 the Brooklyn League players.
By gaining possession Of the League
strongholds OF Cincinnati and Brooklyn,
II Is supposed that the bringing the rest
OF the National League to terms Will be
an easy matter for the brotherhood.
That many OF the Brooklyn players
have been approached by the Players is
assured. The emanagementand players,
however. say that 50 far none OF the
men have signed Brotherhood contracts
A. vet: but neither have they signed
Brooklyn contracts.

accused 10 make their defense. Mr..
Hcaly. of counsel for the defense. said
he was in mortal fear lest the trials
would last for six months. Mr.. lIealy's
remarks excited the laughter Of those
present at the hearing.
Much excitement was OccasiOncd in
the court room by the evidence Of one of
the witnesses. policeman. who teSti-
fed that hc followed several Of
the defendants into the yestry
Of the Catholic church. and tried To over
hear what was said there by them.
This testimony aroused the Indignation
Of counsel for the defendants. and he
demanded to know If the penal days had
returned when the sanctity of the CON

The court room became babel Of
cries, and the confusion was so great
that it was impossible to 60 on with the
proceedings. The court was therefore

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., October B.
Judge SevernS. I'm the L. ). Court, to-
day gave his reasons for diSSolving the
injunction restraining the city from re-
moving the Western Union Telegraph
poles from Canal street, and the opinion
is cOncurred in by Judge jackson, Of
the Circuit Court. He holds that
the Congressional enactment Civ
ing the Western Union the use
of Government postal routes is
pcrmiS>ive only, and in using public
streets and highways i'm the States, the
company is amenabe to the police pow
erS vested in the States: that the char
ter of the city gives the city authorities
power To regulate the use of streets,
and to remove distractions and en-
creachmcntS, and that under the char
ter given by the State the city authori-
ties can exclude the poles and wires
from any street, can designate in which
streets the wires shall be strung.
The question as TO whether the city
can exclude the wires entirely is not in
yolN,d i'm the present case, and IS not
decided.
When the Injunction was dissolved hy
formal order last week Mayor Uhl
ordered the poles cut down and removed.
They are still down.
