SAN Francisco, Oct. 21.-Negotiations
looking toward the consolidation of the
California Baseball league and the
Northwestern league are said to be
nearing completion. 1t is stated that
the only question and difference of
opinion between the magnates of the
leagues has been the entrance fee. The
managers of the Northwestern league
insist upon an admission tariff of so
cents, and claim that lower tariff
would not justify them in forming an
alliance e cnmnlated it will include San
Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Stock
ton, San Jose, Los Angeles, Fresno, San
Diego, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and
Spokane Falls, making a league of
twelve clubs. 1t is believed that the
profits in this city, Oakland and Los
Angeles, would more than make up the
losses in the other cities, while in the
northwest, in point of attendance,
Portland ranks with San Francisco, and
the three cities of Washington would
compare with Los Angeles.
Eastern Leagues Consolidating.
NEW YoRK, Oct. 21.-The Brotherhood
of Baseball Players, at it's meeting this
morning, drew up communication ad-
dressed to the Players league directors,
expressing confidence in whatever
action that body might take. The di.
rectors, at meeting this afternoon, re-
turned complimentary reply. John
SON, of Cleveland, chairman of the COM
mittee on conference with representa-
tives of the National league and American
association, reported that a number
of meetings had been held, but
no final or positive agreement had been
reached, except that each body had ex-
pressed wish to meet upon some COM
mon and satisfying ground, in order to
prevent difficulties and embarrassment
in the national game. A common name
was agreed upon, he said, that of the
'United League" This report was ac-
cepted and the committee Instructed to
continue the conference if they deemed
it advisable.

BROWN & ADAMS TRACT.
The Title is Good and the Property is
Verv Fine.

EDITORS HERALD-In an article en-
titled "a Troublesome Suit" in Fri
days issue, great injustice is done
us. First let us state that the article is
distorted and full of misstatements, at
whose instigation we don't know. Mrs.
E. B. de Abila was used as tool by a
notorious blackmailer, who will yet
meet the deserts he so richly deserves.
Mrs. f. B. de Abila is not the mother OF
the man who sold the property, but the
wife, and, moreover, became the wife of
Yrenio Abila ten months after having
disposed of this tract This last fact
alone would dispose OF any claim Mrs.
Abila might have against the property
owners. AS for having cast cloud upon
the title of our property, that is now
done for by the plaintiff having dis
missed the suit, thus showing and prov
ing that she had no claim whatsoever.
All attorneys employed by the plaintiff
withdrew from the suit when they saw
and knew the chief object of the hackers
of the plaintiff. No tract or subdivision
in this city has better title than ours,
as not only Messrs. Wells. Guthrie &
Lee but other eminent attorneys have
assured us. AS the blackmailer made
his point on the plaintiff he will let the
Brown & Adams tract alone.

Prohibition Not a SUCCESS.

DEs MoISEs, Feb. 27.-The Inauguration
Of Governor Boies this afternoon was car
risd out with great enthusiasm among the
Democrats. Visitors had come from all
over the State and from other States. The
oath of Office was administered in the Hall
OF the House of Representatives TO the Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor-elect, and
Governor Boies then read his inaugural.
In his inaugural address Governor Boies
proceeded to take up one by one the most
important public questions at present sgi.
tsting the people OF the State of Iowa, dis
cnssing them at great length.
On the question of prohibition the Gov
ernor stated that the proh:bitory laws had
been despised, disregarded and ignored in
most OF the large cities of the State from the
day of It's birth down to the present time.
The use Of Intoxicating liquors as bever-
age. had not diminished. Millions and mil
lions Of the capital Of citizens had been in
vested in the business. and then i, had been
coldly wiped out without one effort to com
pensaie those who had been ruined thereby.
In his Judgment, the chief obstacle TO the
enforcement OF the law lay in the fact that il
was a cruel violation OF one OF the most
valuable Of human rights. What Iowa
sded was practical legislation on the sub
ject--legislation that was broad enough 20
cover more than the views of single class.
