The Indian appropriation bill was

by the committee, providing that here
after no Indian or tribe of Indians shall
lease for mining purposes lands that
are not patented to said Indians
Mr.. RaWlins supported the amend

and was promptly laid on the table by
unanimous vote.
The consideration Of amendments to
the constitution and bylaws OF the
league was then begun.
The first was an amendment which
would have the effect of admitting to
membership in the league members Of
the professional class which has hith-
erto been entirely excluded
There enSued an interesting debate.
In which it seemed that every delegate
present participated, and expressed his
views for or against the amendment.
AT times the debate became acrimo-
NOUS.
Every opportunity was given the
delegates to be heard before the pre-,
vious question was put. AS the resul,
OF the ballot the amendment failed OF

it.
An analysis of the vote showed that
most OF the opposition to the admis-
sion OF professionals" to membership
came from the East, though New York
and New Jersey voted solidly for the
amendment. Aside from these two
states and Pennsylvania the main
support of the amendment came from
the South and West
The next amendment was adopted
after some debate and a few changes
had been made in the wording. In
brief, 1t provided that the board of of

HANLON ON THE RULES.
Pitcher is Responsible for Earned
Runs-Bunting IL All Right

BALTIMORE, Md. Feb. 1O-Manager Han
Ion said today:
There is only one change in the rules I am
anxious to see made, and there are other
changes proposed to which l am bitterly op-
rosed The rule that I think needs changing
is the one bearing on the scoring CT an earned
run. want this fixed so that the pitcher win
be entirely responsible for earned runs. Pro-
vision should be made that runs scored off
hits. wild pitches bases on balls and hit by
pitched ball should be scored as earned Stolen
bases errors and passed balls, OF course,
should not figure in earned runs. Earned runs
under this new scheme will give true line
on the pitchers ability.
Il don't think any other changes in the
rules are advisable. l especially opposed
TO this movement against bunting and sacri-
fee hitting. Bunting is one of the most sci
entifc features of the game, and if II is done
away with there will he howl from all over
the league circuit. The same is true of the
sacrifice. The opposition to these two plays
comes from men who are incapable of hunt
ing ard sacrificing, and their objections should
carry but little weight"

Amendment to the Navigation Laws
Passed by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1O.-Senator Frye to-
day secured the passage by the senate of a
bill amending the navigation laws, intended
especially to prevent Canadian vessels from
securing an undue share of the carrying bust
ness between Alaska and other American
ports
Complaint has been made that Canadian yes
sells were attempting TO participate in the
Alaska trade by starting from their own
ports and then stopping successfully at more
than one American port and taking on pas
sengers and freight from one American point
to another on the theory that all were en-
braced in voyage.
The bill passed by the senate today provides
for the forfeiture OF any merchandise shipped
from one American port to another either di-
rectIy or via foreign port in any other
than an American vessel" like provision is
also made in regard to the transportation Of
passengers by a foreign vessel from one
American port to another except that the
penalty in this case is placed at 500 each. The
penalty under the existing law is 81.
