gued as TO the merits OF the Wrigley con-

the conclusion Of the conference. 1t was
announced that a resolution had been
adopted declaring that the Syracuse club
had no right TO control Wrigley's services
after his contract had terminated with
that club. In a word, the action OF the
Board OF Arbitration was a blow at the
minor-league clubs.
To-day marked the beginning or the
annual winter meeting Of the National
League at the Fifth-Avenue Hotel. Arm
ed for an especially bitter fray, the mem

THE DISASTER IN cERAM.
Immense Loss OF Life and Property-
A Tidal Wave.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1.-THE
Bulletin says:
The disaster that overlook the Island
of Ceram on the "a of last month cost
the people of that district immense loss
in life and property.
The steamship America Maru, which ar
rived yesterday from the Orient, brought
advices from Ceram. and reports that o.Wv
people were destroyed on that Island
alone when the dreadful earthquakes OF
November shocked the Japanese coast
and agitated the islands adjacent 10 the
mainland.
The people of Ceram were aw akeIfsd by
q terrific shock OF earthquake that SEEM
cd to work from north TO south. Every
one fed from his house into the public
square. A few hours later II was report
ed that the water was rising In the Bay
OF Ambonia. The sea came forward In
the shape OF huge tidal wave and forced
the water into the bay entrance. IL came
up 30 feet over the lowlands.
At Pauholy and Samasoeroa. on the bay,
the waves swept over the tops or trees
thirty feot high. or nearly 1850 inhabi-
tants, only forty escaped.
The whole coast for miles was trans
formed into q huge mudpudde. Corpses
were everywhere. Broken trees and por>
lions of houses were buried in the ooze.
Every few rods were great mounds OF
stones and boulders that had been wash
ed up from thu sea, changing tho entire
topography OF the country. The exact
be known. as the corpses are In many
cases yards under the new ground.
At Hatoesia, out OF 200 people. 100 were
killed and forty wounded. The balance
escaped to the hills, where the shock OF
earthquake was first felt
