tary and Treasurer were presented and re-
ferred. Boston was awarded the champion
ship. A lengthy discussion followed on
the subject of consolidation. All the clubs
but Pittsburg and New York reported moth
ing done looking to consolidation with
the National League. The representatives
of the clubs mentioned reported they had
entered into an arrangement satisfactory to
both sides, and next season there would be
but one club in each of those cities. This
announcement, while not entirely unex-
and the discussion following was very
stormy. Pending settlement of the ques.
tion the League adjourned for dinner. The
agreement between the two Pittsburg clubs
was arrived al at secret conference last
night.
Tonight the climax was reached when
Colonel McAlpin and II. B. Rae of Pitts
burg arose in the meeting and formally
| rendered their designations in the Players
League They fatty said they intended &c
resign from the Players League in order to
join the National League Clubs. Then fol
lowed storm. They were argued with
and threatened, but were obdurate.
They had no explanation to make and
merely offered their designations. The
meeting then hastily adjourned until to-
morrow. The officers of the Players say
they have applications from cities that will
more than fill the vacancies created by
the detection OF New York and Pittsburg.
To-morrows meeting is expected to decide
to accept the designations.

General Greedy Exhorts the Public Not
to be Scared

General Greedy Exhorts the Public Not
to be Scared.
WASHINGTON, November I1th.-The an.
nual report of the Chief Signal Officer, Gen
eral Greedy, says there has been a decided
improvement in the condition and officer
ing of the army as regards the Signal SerY-
ice practice.
The most important event in connection
with the work of the Signal Corps has been
the unprecedentedly successful establish
ment and maintenance of an elaborate sys-
tenn of heliogrsph signaling in the Depart
ment of Arizona, longer distances being
attained than ever before.
Referring to the weather branch of the
service, General Greedy says: The duties
devolving personally on the Forecast Off,
Ger permits less than one.quarter of min
ute on an average in which to decide,
formulate and express forecast for State
or district regarding any meteorological
element, such as the weather, temperature
and wind. Rarely can minute be given
for predictions for any particular State or
district. Notwithstanding all difficulties,
there were only fourteen occasions last
year on which the severe cold waves were
not predicted, 50 per cent. of all the impor-
tent cold waves being predicted.
Speaking of tornadoes, General Greedy
says: 1t appears from data on hand that in
no State may destructive tornado be ex-
pected oftener, on an average, thsn once in
two years, and that the area over which
total destruction can be expected is exceed
ingly small, even in States most liable to
these violent storms. General Greedy be.
ieVes this is matter of great public i'm
portance, and desires to impress upon the
people at large how small are the chances
of personal injury or loss of property in
this connection.
In conclusion he says that tornadoes are
not so destructive of life as thunder-storms.

EFFECT AT THE ANTIPoDEs.
The Silver Bill Has Caused the Metat to
Advance.

WASHINGTON, November 11th.-In his
report to the State Department on Aus
tralian silver, Consul Griffin at Sydney
says the advance in the price of silver
since the passage of the silver bill by the
United States Congress has already made a
difference in the annual value of that pro.
duct in New South Wales alone of more
than 81 946 600.
Griffin says in three days the price ad-
vanced from S. to 81 cents per ounce, and
is now quoted at 81 10 per ounce. This
advance, he says, is likely to have marked
influence upon the trade relations between
the Australian and Eastern countries, and
may result in the establishment of direct
exchange between these colonies and
China and Japan.
The Minister for Mines of Victoria re-
ports that none of the Victorian silver
iodes yet discovered are regarded as of suf.
ficient value to justify the investment of a
large amount of capital in their develop
ment. The mines in Stansud district, he
says, have very bright prospects, but even
these have not led to the opening of pay.

GUESSING CONTESTS.
They are Held Not to be in Violation of
the New Law.


WASHINGTON, November 11th-In re-
Spouse 10 inquiries by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, as to whether advertisements
in newspapers of a guessing contest, in
its various phases, is in violation of the
Revised Statutes, as amended by the anti
lottery Act of September 10, 1890, Attorney
General Miller has submitted an opinion
in which he holds in the negative.
The Attorney General says in the course
of the lengthy opinion 'If the offers were
not made in good faith it would be q
scheme for obtaining money under false
pretenses. Being made in good faith, the
gifts are doubtless offered with the purpose
of increasing directly as well as indirectly
the sale of those newspapers, and render
ing their business of increased value to
those who offer the prizes.
at is clear that the statute is directed
against only such enterprises as are de-
pendent upon lot or chance. 1t will hardly
be contended that the enterprise under
consideration was dependent upon chance
within the meaning of the statutes. 1t
seems to me that this question must be
answered in the negative. In conclusion
it may not be improper to say that this law
was framed with a view to the suppression
of certain well-known and widespread
agencies for evil, and it is certainly not
wise to embarrass its execution by a
strained or unnatural construction in
reaching after practices not thought of as
motives for its enactment"
