THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
COMMISSIONER PECK HEARTILY
FAvORs THE PRoJECT.
Sees No Reason WHY That City 10
Not Entitled to an Appropriation
From Congress such ~ Has Issen
Given to other Like Enterprises.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 12--Ferdinand w. Peck,
Of Chicago, commissioner general OF the
United States to the Paris exposition, de-
livered an address tonight before the Con-
temporary club In the banquet hall OF the
Mercantile club, on the great French enter
prise. In the course Of his remarks, the
commissioner general said:
Gentlemen OF st. Louis you have q
mighty task confronting you but you Will
accomplish It. You will do credit to your
city ana your country and those OF US
the Columbian e exposition its OF 1893 are with
you heart and soul. Our experience In the
exposition field. our Judgment our hearty
cooperation in your great work are at
guished citizen, my friend dov. Francis,
In Washington. last winter. that believed
you should not ask the congress OF the
posed. but Tor q donation Il, the form on
an appropriation. The country not only
owes this to 81. Louis and the Louisiana
purchase territory which she represents.
but the nation owes 1t to herself for the
great benefits Of national and interra-
tional character which will be derived.
Congress appropriated for the Columbian
sition Of 1903? Besides congress has APP
propriated for Philadelphia. Buffalo and
Toledo. as well as In a lesser degree for ex-
sithon;s that have passed t Il
Louis? Expeditions. unlike any other oc-
cupatfon in life, require an unusual degree
Of activity and ZEAL crowding what should
be the work Of a life time Into a year or
two and finally the work of years into a
few months. Expostions not only promote
commercial advantages but they are per-
iods OF rest and recreation on the part Of
the people. Expostions not only bring
large returns of business nature by en-
dearing friendly rivalry between nations
and educating the beholders in the adj
vancement of the arts and sciences, but
far beyond all this, they promote fraternity
among the peoples OF the earth. enabling
them to look into each others faces and
realize the great fact of humanity--the
brotherhood of mankind"
The commissioner general then referred
to special features Of the United States
display at the Paris exposition that are
contemplated which he styled as the
STARS" OF our relation to that event.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Important Matters Come Up Before
the Baseball Magnates.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Today marked
the beginning of the annual winter meet
ing of the National League at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. Armed for an especially
bitter attack. the members were all on
hand but so much time was consumed by
the board of arbitration that the league
only met to carry out the requirements
of the constitution and Immediately adj
Journed.
Not IN years. not since the end of the
famous brotherhood fight has league
portance as the one just begun. For
weeks past there has been no end Of lob
bying and wire pulling among the various
reducing the circuit and purifying the
game.
Several of the minor league teams were
1t is not believed probable that the pro-
posed scheme for reduction In the
league circuit will go through. The situa-
ton, as summed up by one of the base
ball men tonight, was to this effect:
Louisville and Cleveland will sell on
fair terms. Wagner wants big money for
his franchise in Washington, and the
earth for the Oriole franchise. Who is
going to put up all this money? The
league? Well. hope not"
For more than five hours. today the
members of the national board of arbitra-
ton of the National League OF Baseball
Clubs. argued as to the merits of the
Wrigley controversy. in which the New
IoTh, koToohtyn anu GyIdcuSe CiuuS dIS
involved.
At the conclusion Of the conference Il
was announced that resolution had
been adopted declaring that the Syracuse
club had no right to control Wrigley's
services after his contract had terminal
ed with that club. In word the action
of the board of arbitration was a blow
at the minor league clubs as this ruling
means that any National League club
may take the players of the minor league
club at the end of their season. which is
one month earlier than that of the big
league, and try them out without paying
any money consideration to the club to
which the player is under reserve The
fact that the minor league clubs may be
dickering with another club for the sale
of the player makes no difference.
The Wrigley fight was a three-cornered
one between New York, Brooklyn ard
Syracuse. At the conclusion of the East
crn League season Wrigley signed to fin
fish the season with New York. few
days later he was sold by Syracuse club
to Brooklyn. and, acting under the adj
vice OF President Powers, Wrigley went
to Brooklyn and finished the season.
Tomorrow the board of directors will
consider the appeal made by the New
York club to have the Brooklyn manage
ment disciplined for playing Wrigley,
when he had signed the New York con-
tract. What will be done is problemat-
zeal

TRIAL OF MOLINEUx.
The Days Session Devoted to q
Handwriting Expert.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Today's session in
the trial Of Roland h. Molineux was devot-
ed entirely to the examination of William
]. Kinsley, the handwriting expert. The
proceedings were devoid Of public inter-
est, the scene in the court room resembling
the class room of business college.
The expert explained even the most min
ute details. an hour being spent upon the
word please" The important portion of
the testimony OF Expert Kinsley may be
summed up by the statement that he tes-
titled that after examining thousands Of
specimens of handwriting, Including sam
pioye of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club,
he became convinced that one person wrote
the so-ca1led Barnet and Cornish" let
tiers: that the same man wrote the address
on the poison package, and that man was

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin answer to
the inquiry to the war department relative
to the opening of the hemp ports in the
Philippines, Gen. Otis today made the fol-
lowing response:
