The appointment of Alfred Austin as the
poet laureate of England has recalled the
fact that in 1861 he published a s~atirical
work in verse which raised a storm about
his ears. The work was entitled 'My
Satire" and was largely aimed at the
fashionable dress of the period. The author
poked fun at the decollette costumes Of
society women and especially of the court
ladies, and was decidedly broad in his in
situations as to the modesty of those who
appeared In such dresses. So bitter was
the criticism of this work that 1t was
suppressed by the government. Mr.. Austin
is wiser now andi knows better than to
run into a social snag Ike that.

EASTERN FEAGUE AFFAIRS.

Standing of the Other Clubs-Disput cs
Settled nt the Mcetiun In Ncw York

settled at the Meeting III New YORK.
New York. Dec. 1.-THE annual meet
ing of the Eastern league of Profess
sional base ball players was concluded
today. In the session of the board of
directors. which preceded the regular
meeting there was very little of i'm
portance to be discussed. The dispute
between Syracuse and Wilkes Barre for
third place in the league was decided in
favor of Wilkes Barre. The Syracuse
club claimed third place on the ground
that the Pennsylvania club had failed
to play one game in the series. The
Wilkes Barre club protested the action
of one of their players. Shannon, who
commenced to play for Rochester be-
fore the latter had affected his release
from Wilkes Barre. The board de-
cided that Shannon belonged to Wilkes
Barre.
The delegates accepted the report Of
the board of directors and proceeded
with the election of officers for ,he er-
suing year. President =. n. Powers
was elected president, secretary and
treasurer for the fourth consecu-
tive year. The board of direc-
tors was elected as follows
Charles Il. Shean. of Sprinfeld
H. p. Simpson. of Scranton; c. A. Lem
gruber, of Rochester, and j. C. Chan
man. of Toronto. Canada. The presj
dent was appointed to present a scl.e-
dule at the next meeting.
Mr.. Franklin, of Buffalo, proposed
that In the case of players drafted by a
National league club from the Eastern
league and afterwards released by the
club so drafting him. the club from
which said player is drafted shall have
first claim on his services provided such
club tender the player contract within
ten days Offering at least the same sal
ary received by him before being draft
ed by the National league club. The
matter will be brought before the Ma
tional league. The standing of the
clubs was announced as follows:
Springfield. Providence, Wilkes Barre,
Syracuse. Buffalo, Scranton, Roches-
ter, Toronto.
Friday, April %. was named as "Har-
ry Wright day" on which games will
be played by all the clubs Of the league
and the proceeds devoted to the Wright
memorial fund.
The league then adjourned until a
day to be named by the president about
a week after the spring meeting of the
National league.

weak and small, should have produced no
better results.
The course to be pursued by this gov
ernment. in view of the present conditions,
does not appear to admit of serious doubt.
Having labored faithfully for many years
to induce Great Britain to submit this
dispute to impartial arbitration, and hav-
ing been now finally apprised of her re-
fusal to do so. nothing remains but to ac-
cept the situation, to recognize its plain
requirements and to deal with II accord
ingly.
Great Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as admissi-
BILE by Venezuela. though any adjustment
Of the boundary which that country may
deem for her advantage and may enter
into on her own free will. cannot of course
be objected to by the United States.
Assuming, however. that the attitude
of Venezuela will remain unchanged. the
dispute has reached such stage as to
make it now incumbent upon the United
States to take measures to determine.
with sufficient certainty for its just!fca-
ton, what is the true divisional line be-
tween the Republic of Venezuela and
British Guiana. The inquiry to that end
should, of course, be conducted carefully
and jutlicially and due weight should be
given to all available evidence, records
and facts in support OF the claims of
both parties.
In order that such an order should be
prosecuted In a thorough and satisfactory
manner l suggest that the congress make
an adequate appropriation for the eX-
penses of a commission. to be appoint
ed by the executive, who shall make the
necessary investigation and report upon
the matter with 'the least possible delay.
When such report Is made and accepted.
it will, in my opinion, be the duty of the
United States ito resist by every means
in its power, as a wilful aggression upon
Its rights and interests, the appropriation
by Great Britain of any lands or the
exercise of governmental jurisdiction over
any territory which, after investiga-
ton, We have determined of right belongs
to Venezuela.
Stands by Ills Duty.
In making these recommendations I am
fully alive to the responsibility incurred
and keenly realize all the consequences
that may follow. l am, nevertheless, firm
in my conviction that. while 1t is q
grievous thing ITO contemplate the two
great English speaking peoples OF the
world as being otherwise than friendly
competitors IN the onward march of civili-
cation and strenuous and worthy rivals
in all the arts of peace, there Is no ca
lamity which a great nation can invite
which equals that which follows a supine
submission to wrong and injustice, and
the consequent loss of national self-re-
spect and honor beneath which Is shielded
and defended a peoples safety and great
ness. Grover Cleveland.
