ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPkTcH.1
NEW YORK, Nov. f3-The officials of
the National League are business men, and
they have just given striking illustration
of that fact. Thev came here to hold their
annual meeting, transacted their business,
and have done all this without the slightest
apparent friction. There NAV have been
growls of discomfort and internal dissen-
sions, but no sound of it was heard
through the heavy door Of the parlor at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The proceedings
came TO an unexpected close at 5 o'clock
this afternoon, and when the delegates ap-
peared in the lobby they all wore look
which seemed TO indicate intense satistac-
tion with themselves and all the world.
Not even mention of the American Asso-
citation caused them to lose their composure.
The significant conference between Messrs.
Price and Soden created a sensation.
Prince Wanted to Know.
The additional fact came to light to-day
that some days ago Mr.. Prince had meet
ing with the other association officials and
insisted on knowing the terms on which
they would agree to a settlement with the
finally Mr. Prince got full and clear state
ment of their intentions and desires. The
next move was to bring that statement to
the attention of the League. All the
Leaguers decline to say what proposition
Mr.. Prince made, but it is learned from good
authority that the League meeting to-day
devoted nearly all its time to considering
the subject of Mr. Princes communication
to Mr.. Soden.
That the tenor of the proposals was salts
factory was evident from the beaming coun-
tenances of the magnates. One prominent
official remarked: 81 feel 100 per cent
better than | did before this meeting
started" 1t is generally believed that
Mr.. Prince Is the Mouthpiece
of the association in an effort for a settle
nient and the League has selected Soden to
do the preliminary talking in its behalf
1t was unofiicialIy announced during the
afternoon that the meeting had appointed
peace committee consisting OF Soden. Brush
and Robinson. This was emphaticallv de-
MED by the magnates, but, as thev would
not care to have the facts made known in
advance of similar action by the Associa-
tion. there is believed TO be good ground for
the assertion that a Leagu, peace commit
tee IS already in existence, and it will soon
meet peace committee from the Associa-
tiOn.
When the meeting had adjourned Secre-
tarv Young announced the following was the
result of the League deliberation: The
League reassembled al 1890, when y. f.
Young was reelected President Later in
the day, though, the League complimented
him by extending his term of office three
years. T. De Hass Robinson, of Cleveland;
a. X. Scsndrett, of Pittsburg, C. II. Bvrne,
of New York and J. b. Day, Of New York,
were next elected as directors.
The Schedule Committee.
After this James A. Hart, j. B. Day and
John T. Brush were chosen as a committee
TO prepare a schedule John Il. Sage, of
Buffalo for the first time in the Leagues
history, missed meeting, but he got the
Leagues printing. all the same. The an
nual spring meeting will be held in New
York early in March. 1t was voted that
when the League adjourns it be subject to
the call OF the President. and this means
that a meeting to talk over the peace ques-
JlOn can be called at any time.
MeSsrs. Brush, Rogers and Byrne, the
committee appointed at a previous meeting
10 draw up testimonial TO \. G.. SpaIding,
Of Chicago, in appreciation of his valuable
services 10 the League in the past, received
further time in which to prepare and en-
gross suitable resolutions. Meanwhile Mr.
Spalding is to receive an honorary member
ship in the League.
