innings ever witnessed on the Petersburg
diamond was played here this afternoon
between the Baltimores' and the home
team. AT this point the game WAS broken
up By free fight. both players and
spectators participating. The only run
scored in the game was made by Peters

the visitors came in for their half of the
seventh, with one man out. n controversy
arose ove'' decision OF the umpire in
callicig balls and strikes. when Dolye
walked up and called him al liar At
this juncture one Of the Petersburg
players interceded in the interest of har-
mony. which brought Jennings up who
called him nasty eplthe:. and was
promptly knocked down. The crowd
then rushed on the field. and but for the
prompt interference of 9;he police Il Sc

INDEPENDENT CANADA.
The Movement for Separation
from Great Britain Growing,
INDEPENDENCE CLUBS FORMING.

In the Rural Districts Especially the
Movement Is Gaining Ground Rapidly,
and Organizers Are Travelling About TO
Arouse Sentiment on the Question.
MONTREAL, Dec. 1.-THE strong under
current Of sentiment throughout Canada
favorable to n separation from Great
Britain and the establishment of an indo-
pendent Canadian republic on this con-
tinent has begun to take tangible shape.
The organization of independence clubs
has been i'm active progress during the
past five or six months and a convention
has been called to meet in this city in
March next, with the object Of federating
all the groups and clubs of the Dominion
Until then the chief work will be to group
individuals favorable to the independence
movement throughout Canada-that is,
TO obtain the cooperation of all those who
favor the securing of national independ-
ence by pacific means.
The Associated Press correspondent is
informed that the movement is gaining
ground rapidly in the rural districts, es-
peoially in Port Neuff, ,Drummond, CRANKY
and the most remote districts. Two or
ganizers are travelling in the interest Of
Canadian Independence clubs through the
Canadian centers in the United States
and eastern townships, where the idea
seems to meet with great favor.
An important meeting was held We'd
nesday night in Montreal. The meeting
was secret, but the Associated Press cor
respondent obtained possession of a ro-
sumo of the by laws and legislation which
was adopted at the meeting The pream-
BILE, which is perhaps the most important
part of the document, reads as follows:
This association will be known as tho
| Independence Club of Canada, and shall
be composed of all persons desirous of OBJ
tanning political liberty and the indepen-
dence of Canada"
Its objects shall be: The study of the
Canadian people and of tho resources of
the country. The encouragement of
true national spirit amongst the popula-
tion. To obtain the liberty and independ-
ence of Canada by legitimate and pacific
meetings"
AT the next meeting, in January next,
steps will be taken to secure the incorpora-
ton of the club.
