BASEBALL Mattara

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-THE League was in
session with the conference joint committee
until O'Clock this morning, when an adjourn
ment was taken, no conclusion being arrived
at regarding the demands of the milwaukee,
Chicago and Columbus clubs. At noon TO-DAY
the organizations stated the agreement con-
tains a local option section as to Sunday plav
ing; provides for q tariff OF 5 cents The
League stated it will fight any club Iocat-
ing in any one Of the twelve cities in which it
has clubs. The monOpollstio character Of this
new League is despotic Under the terms OF
the report every Chicago player signed else
where, whose services are at the option of the
Spaulding team, must remain there. So far as
contracts with players not reversed BY con-
tract options are concerned, the League will
protect them.
The conference continued until late tonight
and is not yet finished. The twelve club or
gan1zation was settled but the details are NOT
arranged. Nick Young will doubtless be made
president of the consolidated organization and
Zach Phelps, OF the defunct organization will be
given soft berth. The 80 per cent plan for
the division Of receipts will carry, and 80 cent
tariff undoubtedly be adopted. That the new
organization will play Sunday games in cities
formerly supporting the association clubs ia

Republican Senators Interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE published state
ments that the Republican Senators had virtu-
ally decided to contest the seats of Senators
Hill, Brice and White attracted some attention
among Senators to-day. Careful inquiry fails
to disclose anything like an organized move
ment in that direction, and in fact it appears
the Republican Senators have as yet gwen the
subject little thought.
A Republican Senator to-day said the conten-
tion in regard to Governor Hills case would be
substantially as follows That his continuing
to hold after the 4th OF March, 1891 when he was
entitled to be Senator), an office admitted to
be incompatible with the sCnatorship, operated
as a remuneration of the latter and that it has
already done so. The important question is
presented as to how long person thus situated
could hold a governorship and keep a senator
ship position vacant
AS to the story as to Brice, all that is done
will be confined to the remarks made by Sen
ator Sherman when his credentials are pre-
sented.
AS to Senator White, it cannot be learned
there is any intention on the part Of the Repub-
hcans to make contest.
