prepared Tor any emergency and at every
station where an operator quit work an
other was ready to take his place,
so that the telegraph business of the road

Proposed Change In The System Of

Arguments in the Senate on the Elections
Blll-PubliC Building Appropria-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - Congressman
Tarsney of Kansas City said tonight to
California Associated Press correspondent
that his brother, Timothy Tarsney, who
was at one time member of Congress from
Michigan, and is now prominent Demo-
cratic politician of that State, has written 10
him that the Michigan Democratic Legisla-
ture will change the States method of
choosing Presidential Electors by allowing
each Congressional district to elect one, and
two for the State at large. "The same
thing will in all probability be done in Wis
consiD," said Tarsney, land it will give the
Democrats at least two-tEirds of the electo-
raj vote of these States If this plan is car-
RED out the Democrats will be in position
to say to New York. we do not need you,'
and Cleveland will be nominated and elect
ed Ii all the States should adopt this
method we would have a Democratic PreSi-
dent in full accord with the Democratic
House. Cleveland's friends may have con-
cocted this scheme so as to be Independent
OF New York State in the election of 1892"
Iarsney was asked if there was not some
constitutional provision which regulated the
manner of choosing the Electoral College
No. said he. Each State has a right TO
regulate its own elections, and if the Michi-
gan people choose to select their Presden-
ual Electors by Congressional districts they
have an undoubted right to do So After
this mode of choosing electoral delegates is
adopted by certain Northern States 1t is
pufposed to so gerrymander them that
good majority of the Congressional districts
will be Democratic"
1t must be confessed that the scheme as
above set forth sounds rather startling, not
to say sensational, yet Tarsney is regarded
by all who know him as a man of sense and
too conservative to broach such IA scheme as
the above unless there seemed some pruba-
bility of carrying it out. Ex-Congressman
timothy Iarsney was regarded as brill
liant man by his colleagues in Congress, and
he stands very high in Michigan Democratic
circles. Ii the Democrats of that State Leg
islature contemplated radical change oi
TINS character Timothy Tarsney would un-
doubtedly be one OF the first to hear of it.

A New National Agreement to Which The
Western Association Becomes Party.
The Black List Abolished.


NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The baseball war
Is at an end, and the prospects for sue
cesSful season in 1891 are excellent. To-
night the National League, the American
Association and the remnant of the Players
League in joint session formed into two
leagues, absorbing the Players League and
admitting the Western Association to a new
National agreement.
The Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia
clubs of the Players League and the Wash
ington Club were admitted to the American
Association in place of the Rochester, SYRIA
cuse, Toledo and Athletic clubs.
The American Association bought out tie
Rochester Club for $780, the Toledo Club
for $500 and the Syracuse Club for $1,000.
The Boston American Association Club
must charge 80 cents admission.
All the Players League sheep must re-
turn to the folds where they were reserved,
but undoubtedly many of them will be
allowed to stay where they are. Everybody
was in the best of humor.
The new national agreement provides for
board of three, which shall control the
workings of the associations. 1t destroys
the sales system and the black list, but con-
tinues the reserve rule in effect. A player
whose salary is not paid may secure his re-
lease from clubs which are in arrears for
fifteen days. Many important changes are
made, all looking for the elevation of the
game and justice and harmony as between
players, managers and capitalists,

CHARLOTTE On. c., Jan. 16.-One Of the
bloodiest duels ever fought with knives
took place yesterday afternoon eight miles

the other must die; that he had put up with
his conduct as long as he could. Aiken
tired TO explain that he had done nothing 20
be ashamed of and that The criminal int
macy reported TO exist was nothing but gos-
sig. Harris then told Aiken to prepare
himself, at the same time drawing from his
pocket long-bladed knife, with which he
made desperate plunge at Aiken. But
Aiken was on his guard, and before Harris
could make a second effort Aiken thrust his
knife up TO the handle in Harris heart.

Carter of Montana, from the Committee on
Mines and Mining, to-day reported to the

cure defects in the existing law with relation

eral lands as lands containing lodes or rock
in place of bearing gold, silver. cinnabar or
other valuable metals, OF other material
bearing metal in quantity sufficient to
justify any reasonable person in expending
money or labor thereon. 1t also permits in
corp0rated cities or towns to locate town
sites on mineral lands subject to certain re-
strictions, and provides that where mineral
lands are reserved from the operations of
land grants, proof shall be submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior of the character of
the land for which patent is sought under
such grant.

regarding the action of bringing the Behr-

OF the United States: Unless it has been
agreed between the two Governments that
there shall be a test case for the purpose Of
ascertaning the extent Of the rights of the
United States under the law of nations in
Behring Sea, | think IL will prove a mistake
on the part of the Canadian Minister of
Justice TO seek decision III the Supreme
Court. The case Of Foster against Nelson,
which will be found in Peters Reports q
and that of Phillips against Payne, in Vol
ume XCll Of the Supreme Court Reports,
show that in questions such as this the
court is bound 10 follow in the construction
OF treaties the political department of the

tanned, therefore, at variance with Blaine's
contention"

The statement published to the effect that
the Dominion Government has been re-
quested by the Imperial Government to en-
deayor to arrange the matters in dispute
between Canada and the United States on
the basis OF wide measure of commercial
reciprocity is not true. On the contrary, it
IS learned from the very best sources that
the Canadian Government has recently been
approached by the United States Govern
ment with view to the development of
trade relations between the two countries,
and that the Canadian Government has re-
quested the advice Of her Majesty's Govern
ment on the subject.
