The California League Captured by the
Country Managers.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-The Califor-
MIA Baseball League was reorganized to-
day by the forced retirement of the old
officers and the election of new, as fol-
lows: President, Robert Wieland, vice
John J. None; President, Henry
Sharp of Stockton; Treasurer, George L.
Arnold of Los Angeles; Secretary, Ed
ward Hall of Oakland. 1t all came about
at meeting of the directors to-day, when
the places of the incumbent officers were
declared vacant and the others were in
stalled. Three outside managers COM
bined to effect the change. Harris Of San
Francisco being in the minority. Messrs.
Greschen and Lindley were appointed as
a Finance Committee to audit the obliga-
tons of the old league and conduct the
business of the new organization. TWAS

was only short time afterward that
Lizzie, after a short visit to the barn,
called to the servant to run for doctor,
as her father had been murdered. Shortly
afterward Mrs. Borden was missed, and
the search revealed her body in an upper
room, she having evidently been killed
some time before her husband. In both
cases death resulted from blows from
some heavy, sharp instrument, probably
an ak, but the instrument of death has
never been discovered. Certain dis
crepancies in Lizzie's stories and some
other suspicious circumstances led to her
arrest some weeks after the murder and
her subsequent indictment.

TRIAL OF DIR. BRIGGS.
The Expenses Run Up into tt
Thousands.

The Expenses Run Up into the
Thousands.
WASHINGTON, June st is generally
agreed among Presbyterians prominently
connected with the Briggs case that the
expenses incurred during the entire pro-
gress of the case from the initiatory stage
until the General Assembly disposed OF
1t last week amounted to very large
sum, but it is almost impossible to max e
an estimate of the total amount with ac-
curacy. Some light was thrown on this
subject, however, by Rev. DR.. Bartlett
who was Chairman of the local Commit
tee of Arrangements for the General AS
sembly. DR.. Bartlett says the board bills
alone of 500 Commissioners to the assem-
bly,, which number the local committee
promised to provide for, amounted to
5000 per day, and therefore the two
days trial of DR.. Briggs in this city cost
the local committee 81, 500. There were,
however, more than 500 delegates to the
assembly, and while the trial consumed,
properly speaking, only two days, the
case really extended over more than
double that period, so $4,000 is nearer
than 81 800. This in itself is a low esti-
mate. DR.. Bartlett is of the opinion that
the estimate made by some of the Com
missioners that the Briggs case from be-
ginning to end has cost the General AS
sembly about $4,000 is nearly correct.
Colonel McCook Of the Prosecuting Com
mittee, wealthy man, spent out of his
pocket, according to DR.. Bartlett's opin-
ion. at least SO 600

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-Mayor Ellert
to-day met the heads of the various local
business organizations and prominent
citizens, and discussed the project of
holding commercial fair in San Fran
cisco succeeding the exposition at Chi
cago. The proposition was not very cor
daily received, many thinking that the
time was too short, and the difficulties in
the way of an adequate representation by
the exhibitors at Chicago too great to af-
ford the present assurance that the exhi-
bition would be a success. 4 letter was
read from Nj. H. De Young, now at Chi
cago, offering to subscribe five thousand
dollars toward the scheme. No conclu-
sion was reached, and it was decided to
further canvass the matter, and if pos
sible to learn of the probabilities OF Sc
curing financial and other assistance from
local capitalists.

THE SANTA FE STRIKE.
Views OF Railroad Man Regarding the
Present Strike.
He Holds That 1t Is Test of Strength
Between Railroads and Organized
Labor All Over the Country.

TOPEKA, Kan. April 1S.-Speaking OF
the strike on the Santa Feroad, railroad
man today made the following significant
statement: 1.-THE strike inaugurated here
a week ago was the beginning of trouble
which is to test the relative strength of
railroads and organized labor all over the
country. 1t is now the understanding
among the men, that the real reason that
their contract was not signed by the
Santa Fe was on account of an agreement
recently entered into by the general
managers and presidents association OF
all railroads in the country to sign no
more contracts with organized labor as
they said for their own protection. This
agreement was entered into by all roads
in the United States at a meeting
held in Chicago about the time
President Maxwell died and we reach
our conclusions about the action taken at
the meeting from an article written i'm
mediately after the meeting by President
j. G. Clark of the Mobile and Ohio rail-
way. This letter was published in rail-
way journal and the writer proved from
his standpoint that the railroads must
combine to defeat the organization of Ia
Dor, or, as he said, meet organized Ia
bor Many roads, including the Santa
Fe have contracts with other organiZa-
lions than ours, and it is the understand
ing of the men that these contracts are to
be annulled at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
General Manager Frey was seen, but
refused to either deny or affirm the cor
rectness of the strikers opinion. He
said: 81 am not a member of the General
Managers association and have never at
tended any of their meetings. l don't
know anything at all about the matter.
