New YORK, Nov. l1.-From present in
dications the baseball difficulty is further
than ever from . settlement While the
National League magnates have been hold
ing their annual meeting 1t the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel, during the past week, the
Players's League people have been laying
their plans for another war Just when there
was every indication Of peace being de-
clared. The Players League people have
held several quiet meetings during the
week in this city, and it was not known that
their object was anything else than an eff
fort to effect = compromise, until it leaked
out to day that the following manifesto had
been sent out TO the players by President
Prince Of the Boston Players League Club !:
ITO the players of the Players League:
Your representatives deem it their duty
to publicly proclaim that you need have no
fear for the success of the organization.
notwithstanding the way many Of the So
called capitalists have shown weakness.
The trouble has been greatly exaggerated.
Therefore we can assure you that the or
ganization ss Q whole will remain steadfast
and that it will be preserved as such for
the coming season. There remains . suf-
ficient number of men of sturdy honesty
and financial ability to maintain the posi-
ton OF vantage which the organization has
gained. Relying on the loyal PLAYERS to
fill their part, we have confidence in the
generous support of the public as in the
past. c. +. PRINCE,
President of the Players League"
This manifesto is looked upon by the
general public rs declaration of another
war. The National league magnates, how
ever, only laugh at it, and cay it is simply
gigantic bluff to try to frighten the Ma
tional League people into buying them out
Al johnson says he will sell out for S40,-

Edward F. Lincoln told . Star reporter
yesterday that he could not do any talking
at present, but that within three or four
days the whole base ball world would hear
some startling information. 1t was init
mate last night by . prominent Players
League capitalist that their organization
would not only be in the field next year.
but that il. would be stronger than ever.

to quell disturbance at the Wallace Simp-
son place. located in Winslow, in field
opposite the head of the falls. Hiram
Lawrence entered complaint that the
gang over there, being pretty we'll

pounding bis brother, Win Lawrence,
and called for help. Officer Pollard says
he went up and dispersed the crowd.
and was afterwards called to the same
place for the same purpose later in the
afternoon. This forenoon he swore out
warrant for the arrest of Simpson. for
maintaining a liquor nuisance and at
about ii o'clock went over there after
his man. There was some resistance
and Simpsons wife took hand in it, and
quite a number of people were hanging
around the place as usual. Simpson finally
concluded his best course would be to
ccme over with the officers, and
he accordingly made his appearance before
Judge Stewart, who appointed 10 O'Clock

CRUISER MAINE
To be Launched Fhday-PrepaTaticns
for the Event.

BROOKLYN, \. Y, Nov. 1.-THE situa-
ton of several ships at the navy yard are
being changed in order to make more room
for the Maine when she is launched tomor-
row. The white cruisers 1t the yard at
present are the Chicago, Acting Rear Ad-
mira, John G. Walkers flagship, the Bos-
ton, Yorktown and the Dolphin. The latter
will be one of the chips to welcome the
Brazilian squadron, which may possibly
arrive in time for the launch. The old
Quinnebaug and the Galena, black wooden
war ships. will be useful to represent an
age when such a ship as the Maine was not
dfeamt Of.
The trim torpedo boat Gushing and the
unfinished monitors Miantouomsn and Ter
ror will illustrate the strides that modern
naval architecture has taken in their direc-
ton, while the unwieldy Minnesota, the
bulky Vermont, and the steamers Despatch
and Blake will serve to excite reminiscen-
ces in the minds of the aged. To the
Vermont has been assigned the honor of
firing the national salute of twenty-one
guns as the United States flag is hoisted on
board the big cruiser. Rear Admiral
Braine, the commandsnt Of the yard, has
issued general order for the launch,
which announces that all vessels in COM
mission at the yard will dress ship at color
hoisting in rainbow fashion if practicable.
and If not, with the national flag at mast
heads or signal poles. The chips will be
thus attired until sunset.
Secretary Tracy is expected to arrive at
the yard by 10 A. NJ, aud will be received
by the officers there in dress uniform, either
in front of the commandafits office or at the
water front. A salute of nineteen guns will
be fred in bis honor, and he and bis party
will be escorted by Rear Admiral BraiDe to
the grand stand that has been erected at
the bows of the Maine.
To avoid all possible accidents, none but
workmen will be allowed on the Maine as
she takes the plunge. The "Stsr Spanaled
Banner" will be played as the Msioe slides
down the ways. The tugs Catslpa and
Nina will bring the cruiser back to the
wharf.
So far as known at present there will be
no speech making. Invitations have been
Issued to the Governor of each State. all

GERS of New York and Brooklyn. There
is said to be some murmuriDg among officers
on the Brooklyn station because of their
inability to secure all of the platform priv
ileges they desired. Nearly every inch of
space at the disposal of the committee on
arrangements has already been mortgaged.
and some applications have been necessar-
lily denied.
