NV YORK, Feb. 1s.-OnIy few weeks
ago the base ball factions were shaking
hands over the settlement Of all difficulties.
and national agreement WAS adopted pro-
yiding for board Of control TO settle all
questions. Said board Of control had 0
meeting in Chicago last week and az q
result OF its decision in giving Stovey,
Nierbauer and Neck to the National league,
the American association at 9 meeting
here to-day deposed President Allen w.
Thurman, OF Columbus, and elected in his
place Louis Kramer, Of Cincinnati, and in
brief resolution notified Secretary Young,
Of the National board, that the American
association withdraws from the national
agreement at once. There Was hot talk
in the meeting against Thurman, who only
few weeks ago WAS lauded as the savior Of
the national game. He was accused Of hav-
ing been faithiess to the association inter
ests in the board Of cont oI meeting.
Kramer teiegraphed his acceptance Of the
presidency and committees were appointed
to arrange schedule, etc. Another move
taken was the adoption Of guarantee
fund, which will most efectuaIly baIk all
efforts OF the league to injnre the associa-
tiOn, by reducing the chances of withdrawal
Of association clubs. Fifty-fve per cent.
of the capital stock Of each club will be de-
posted with the president TO prevent any
jumping from the fold. Johnston, Of
Columbus. and his club, were admitted to
membership. The clubs in the association
will be Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore.

natl and Columbus.

Theater Royal in Hong Kong. China and
Japan are scarcely large enough for a COM
pany, but for a recital tour of six weeks
they offer a splendid field. They are in very
close touch with the United States.
India, of course, is more English. Toxic,
the capital of Japan, is a very large city.
hut of cou' SO does not seem much after the
big Indian cities.
Japan seems to me like a toy country, the
houses and people are all SO small. Oh, the
lovely silks! and the lovely curios! they
pass all words!
/ do not know whether it is generally ap-
preciated in New York or not, but it is a
great deal cheaper to buy Japanese goods
there. strange as it may seem, than it is
here in Japan. For some reason or otherJa-
pan and China are very expensive countries
i either to shon or to live in. Perhaps the
foreigners, English and Americans espe-
cially have made this so. But a COLLAR here
goes aboat "a far as a rupee in India or a
shilling in Landon.
We have been in Yokohama four or five
days, and are delighted with its surround
ings. At the Japanese navy yard, which
is about two hours sail away, | met an old
friend, an American, named Harold Du-
laney, a southerner, who is leading the most
curious kind of life here. He and | were
at one time When was very young, excellent
friends and | cannot tell You what a shock
it gave me to have him come suddenly be-
fore me after 30 many years absence, in
Japanese garb, with his head shaved, bare
footed, leading the life of a hermit in a
rockv.cave IN the hills just outside Of the
Buddhist temple near the navy pnrd.
He sent me his card-fancy a barefooted
hermit having cards, but | learned after
wards that in his cave he had a great many
of his American tlaps-and said he knew
me at a glance. 1t was a long, long time,
however, before | could reconcile myself to
looking upon the face of my old friend amid
such painful surroundings in a strange
ious m~onomania, and expects to become u
Buddhist pfiest.
This is decidedly a foreign city, that is,
foreign to Japan, there are SO many Ameri-
cans. English and Germans in business
here. Yeddo is only half an hour away by
rail. There is a splendid hotel here; by tho
way, several of them. indeed. s.. Il. Wolfe,
formerly of San Francisco, and who at one
time, | believe, thought of establishing a
theater here, has a charming caravGnsary
which faces on the water. The growth of
the city is astounding, considering that
thirty-tiye years ago it was only u fishing
village.
l judge from what you write me that q
great many curious things have been pub
lished about me from time to time n the
two years which have elapsed since l left
New York. | rejoice that tho time is 80
near at hand when | shall have an oppor-
tunity of correcting those that need cor
recting and of setting myself right in the
eyes Of the public which has, | Gre and
everywhere, been SO generous 80 me. My
plans for next season are not vet settled,
but | expect that they will be by the 10Th of
August.
