the proceedings of the meeting:

come up at the meeting to be held No
vember 11th."
Indianapolis and Minneapolis were not
represented, and this caused comment by
those interested in the base ball situation.
The representatives Of the clubs present
said it argued nothing, but the inference
is that another outbreak is feared, and
that the remaining clubs of the league
are preparing TO strengthen their position
as much as possible. The gathering to-
day. Comiskey asserted, was entirely Of
a social character.

THE GAR IN FRANCE.

The Gar and Czarina arrived at
Cherbourg, France, from Portsmouth,
England, yesterday afternoon, and
were given an ovation by the immense
crowds that had assembled.
Owing to the high wind and rough
water considerable difficulty was ex-
perenced in getting the Polar Star
alongside the quay. During the ma
neuvering to get her in position for the
landing Of her august passengers the
vast multitude in the vicinity were per-
fectly quiet, but when the gangway was
finally in position and the Czarina
stepped on the quay followed almost
immediately sitter by the Car amid
shou's of Long live the Gar" "Long
live Russia" rent the air and were re-
peated again and again. Hats, hand
kerchiefs and umbrellas were waved in
the air and the crowd shouted itself
hoarse in the enthusiasm of its welcome
to the great friends of France.
AS the Czarina stepped ashore Presi-
dent Faure presented her with beau
tiful floral Offering, and uttered few
cordial words Of welcome, after bowling
to and kissing the hand of her majesty.
The Car was attred in the uniform
Of q naval officer and wore on his breast
the Grand Cross of the Legion OF Honor.
As he landed on the quay President
Fuure stepped forward and greeted
him.
The czar extended his hand and,
after hearty handshake, the president,
in few happily chosen words, welcom-
ed him TO France. The czar replied
briefly, after which NJ. Faure gave his
arm to the czarina, and with the czar
on bis right, walked to the reception
room in the arsenal, where the distin
guished personages present were intro
duced 10 their majesties.
After the review the car joined the
czarina at the arsenal and they return
ed to the Polar Star, where they re
mained until it was time for them to
attend the banquet.
1t was noticed that the czar conversed
in an animated way with NJ. Faure,
and this was much commented upon in
view of the reports of his taciturnity
while 10 Germany.
At S o'clock the czar and cZarina and
their suites boarded the special train
that was awaiting them at the arsenal,
track having been specially laid there
to from the railway station, and started
for Paris.

WORLD WILL FOLLOW Us.

Moreton Frewen, known interaatior-

writer whose name carries great weigh
in Europe, and especially in Great
Britain, arrived in New York yester-
morning on the steamship Paris He
comes here to watch the trend Of polt-

Frewen came TO pay visit TO the rela-
tlves OF his wife, who was Miss Je-
-ome, daughter of the late Larry Je-
rome, and sister OF Lady Randolph
Churchill.
On the pier he spoke briefly of the
purpose OF hs visit while waiting for

think the United States is stroug
enough ami rich enough to take the u
itiative in the free coinage Of
silver with absolute safety, and
am confident that Us soou
as this government opens its mints to
silver the rest Of the world will follow
suit. am certain that England would
at once open the IUd,au mints to the
coinage OF silver at the IT. to basis if
the United Sates decides for il.
Farmers ami agricultural land
holders the world over are anxious fer
the ies toralion of silver TO its place in
the mouey Of the world. They know
that the present depression in the
prices they get for their products Is due
10 the appreciation OF gold, aud that
oimetaliism would cause The general
rise in prices which they SO greatly
ueed Tne German agraiian party is
for Tree silver, and | understand that
Meine, the new Prime Minister OF
France, is an enthusiastic bimetallist.
1T is fallacy to suppose that the
silver of all the world would come 10
you if your mints were opened TO free
coinage at the l6 10 l ratio. 1ou could
not get over 10 3.000, 900 ounces Of silver
,ullion from the whole OF Europe, and
besides, the mints of other countries
would open to it shortly after those OF
the United States. England shut down
the Iudian mints only iu anticipation
of the repeal OF the Sherman law,
and free coinage in the United Stat,s
would cause their prompt reopening.
In the twenty-five years which preced-
ed the characterization of silver the Ell
tire production OF the world was 220,-
600 ,0C0 ounces. OF this amount In
dian mints took 160, 100000 ounces,
There is no reason TO suppose that they
would take less proportion of the out
put if they were reopened to-day, and
they will be if the United States de-
clares for free coinage at the forthcom-
ing elections, as will also the mints OF
other countries.
"Of course, somebody must take the
initiative in this matter, and the United
States, with its vast exporting power
and marvellous resources, is in the best
position to do it. England wont.

Why should she? She has never used
silver and doesn't need it. But she
will do her share by opening the In
dian mints. I admit that free coinage
might cause temporary furry and an
unsettlement of values here, but it
would be only temporary and your
country is strong enough to stand it.
The after benefits would b. sufficient
compensation for the passing indispo-
