Los Angeles VS.. 81. Louis.

Mr.. j. W. Potts has received letter
from his daughter, Mrs. L. V. Sexton, q
young lady who was born in Los Angeles
county and resided here till a few
months ago, but is now resident of St.
Louis, Mo. She echoes a sentiment all
Californians feel when they get away
from home. The following is an extract !:
II would rather live and die poor in
California than to live here in wealth.
My one never can tell when they are
going to die in this country. 1 prefer to
die with some sickness than to be killed
by a cyclone or stroke of lightning, and
am in constant dread of both, especially
since the advent OF the former"
Mrs. Sexton narrowly escaped being q
victim of the great cyclone. 1t came
within two blocks of her residence and
since that time it is useless to attempt to
convince her that there is any security
for life east ST the Rockies.

Downfall.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALr
CAMDEN, N. j., March 3.-There was
great excitement in the court room today
when Prosecutor Jenkins, in the middle
of a powerful speech, closing the trial Of
Chalkley Leconey, for the murder OF his
niece, was Frustrated by an attack OF
heart failure. The physicians announced
that it was not serious, and the
court took recess. Later the
Prosecutor agreed to let the case
go to the jury on the charge of the court.
Judge Garrison charged that wilful MUIR
der had not been proved, and verdict
of murder in the first degree could not be
ordered. He said verdict of either
second degree, manslaughter or acquittal
would lay. At 1925 the jury retired,
and at 3 rs returned with a verdict of
not guilty.

Is the National League Split After
All Only n RIfndP


CHICAGO, March 3.-An astonishing
communication was made public today
by General Secretary Brunell, of the
Players National Lsague. The surprise
is in the apparent disclosure, more or
less complete, that the supposed ami
mostly and rivalry between the players
organization and the National League, ia
largely in the nature of blind to the
public. The whole thing in nutshell
W ould appear to be that, as rumored at
intervals since the famous split, the
baseball men understand the art of form
ing trusts and pool-making, precisely as
practiced in other business enterprises.
Secretary Brunell's letter is addressed to
President Young, of the National
League. 1t gives synopsis of the
players schedule, showing the duty
of Eastern clubs playing west, and vice
versa, and further says: "The outline
is set SO that the National League can, if
it so choose, avoid conflicting with our
clubs. May also suggest that the Ma
tional League adopt resolutions permit
ting it's clubs TO play against those of the
Players League before and after the
championship season? Such permission
being granted it would also be necessary
for the National League to repeal it's un.
American resolution which boycotts all
clubs playing against those of our organ
ization as well as any clubs which may
play with club which has played |
against Players club"
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3.-The del
egates to the league baseball meeting

pare report for the regular meeting to.
morrow, but nothing could be learned az
to the dates assigned. Chairman Soden |
said he had prepared ten club sched-
ule, as had also his colleagues, Spalding
and Nmick.
President Young of the National
League was tonight shown the commu
nication from Secretary Brunell of
the Players League. He said |
the National League would not consider
the proposition to allow the clubs to
play by repeating the boycott. Concern

CANADlAN CHAT.
Bering Sea egcSiatiOns Reported
Progressing Satisfactorily.


Progressing SatisfactOrily.
TORONTO, March 3.-A special to the
Empire, from Ottawa, says: Advices re-
ceived by the Government, from Wash
ington, relative to the Bering sea negoti-
ations, are very encouraging, but at the
present juncture it would be considered
impolitic to indicate their nature. Wash
ington correspondents are indulging in
considerable guess work on the subject,
but some of their guesses are wide of the
mark. The latest reports are to the
effect that negotiations in reference to
the Atlantic fisheries have proceeded so
far towards settlement on basis salts
factory to both Governments, and that
the operations of the modus vivendi have
been extended Indefinitely. On this
point it may be stated that the continu-'
ance of the modus viuendi arrangement
rests with Canada alone, legislation on
the part of the Dominion Parliament
simply being necessary to give it effect.
PoACHERs WILL BE PLENTY.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 3.-Canadians
whose capital is invested in seal fishing,
do not credit the rumor that the negotia-
tions in Washington are about coming to
q conclusion, and that they will soon
be restricted in their operations; they do
not anticipate that the United States
will take stringent measures during the
pending negotiations, and as these
will probably not be completed before
the end of the present season, they are
making preparations for carrying on as
large a business as possible this year.
So Bering sea will probably be filed wits
poachers.
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC BILL.
The bill authorizing the Canadian Pa
cific railway to issue further bonds to the
extent of 5000. 900, to aid the purchase
of ocean steamships, passed final read
ing in the Dominion Parliament today.
THE MIDDLETON SCANDAL.
General Sir Frederick Middleton
commanding the Canadian militia, and
his conduct during the Northwest re.
bellion, were topics of warm discussion
in Parliament tonight. The General is
charged with looting $1,000 worth Of
furs, the property of Charles Brenner, a
half breed hunter. Thorn pson, Minister
OF Justice, and Sir John Macdonald said
it would be best for the Government te
wait until it saw how the civil action
came out. Laurier, leader OF the oppo'
sition, demanded an immediate investi'
cation. No punishment was too greai
