NEW YORK, Dec 3O.-Chairman Brush,
Of the National League Circuit Committee,
has gone to his home in Indianapolis TO
spend New Year Day. Before leaving
here he practically admitted that the com
mittee had accomplished nothing relative
to the Brooklyn Baltimore syndicate 1t
is Brush's intention before coming East
again to reach definite settlement with
the Louisville and Cleveland clubs and
also talk over things with James A. Hart
about placing another club in Chicago.
Upon this latter point it seems that the
circuit committee has been seriously di-
vided, and that from present indications
Hart may carry the day. The Chicago
man, unalterably opposed to rival ball
club of any sort in his town, has made
counter proposition TO Brush, which the
latter may sanction. Hart's plan is the
organization OF three leagues to be made
uu as follows.

THE SYSTEM A FAILURE.
The italian Immigration Bureau to
he Discontinued.

The italian immigration Bureau at Ellis
Island, which was started in 1894 at e
request of Baron Fava, the Italian Am
bassador, for the benefit OF Italian immi-
grants, primarily to suppress the pad,one
system in this country, will be discon-
tinued on January /.
The Government Of the United Stat s
gave the Italian Bureau free office rooms
at the Barge Office for this purpose, and
Baron Fava for his Government app-intei
and paid the officers of the bureau 1t has
failed 10 accomplish the purpose for which
it was instituted. Instead of suppressing
the evil, the bureau was apparently made
the rendezvous of persons seeking to secure
laborers for the coal mines, railroaCs, and
plantations, under the padrone system.
This fact was repeatedly brought TO the
knowledge Of Baron Fava, for the purpose
of eXerting his influence and powers TO
prohibit the padrones and others from
making use of the privileges Of the italian
Bureau for their purposes. Baron Fava
did all in his power to suppress the prac-
tice, but it appears that ne is power!ess to
cope with the padrones, and the result is
the proposed closing of the bureau and the
return TO the old system.

Hart is supported by Rogers, Of rhila-
delpha, who is violently opposed TO an
other club in the Quaker City unless ne can
control it in addition to the present Pn,la-
delphia club According to Hart anC Rog-
ers, an arrangement of this sort will give
the League a bigger monopoly Of baseball
than the twelve-clUb circuit affords and
also permit the League to control the eight
best cities in the country. If Hart and
Rogers stick together on this proposition
the circuit committee and the League as a
body will be tied up as effectively as the
Brooklyn Baltimore syndicate. Brush
knows this and is willing to make Conces-
sions but at the same time he is forced to
antagonize President Johnson OF the
Western or rather the American League,
who received assurances some time ago
from Brush that the new arrangement Of
professional baseball, the American League,
could have a club in Chicago.
President Johnson is a determined
fighter, and he has notified Brush that un-
less the latter makes good his promise
the American League viii put a club in
Chicago, even if it is necessary to frac-
ture the national agreement and bring on a
baseball war With the proposed new
American association threatening to take
the field, and with Arson ready to start a

Brush. Hart & Co Trouble for the League
does not rest solely In the attitude OF the
Brooklyn Baltimore syndicate
Finding that there are hornets on all
sides of him Brush, it is believed. is on
the point of weakening. He does not want
a baseball war, and in this he has received
the support Of Soden. Of Boston, who, it Is
believes has made at least $3.50 GOO out Of
baseball since 1891.
Brush when he comes to consult with
the Louisville club on the circuit question.
may find even more trouble meeting
was held in Louisville the other night at
which. It is said. a committee of citizens
arranged to buy the League franchise, and
continue the present circuit. From another
source It is learned that these aspirants
for the Louisville franchise are acting in
concert with Won der Abe, Quinn, Anson,
and other promoters OF the new American
association To outward appearances Brush
and Robson, OF st. Louis, who owns the
Cleveland franchise. have been at sword S
points for some time past On the inside,
however, Robson has been working in the
interests of Brush and has done his best
to bring the Brooklyn Baltimore people
in line.
Wagner of Washington. is another club
owner who is with Brush. When the latter
says The word Wagner viii drop the Wash
ington franchise like hot potato The
situation then revolves around the Brook
Iyn- Baltimore syndicate and when Brush
has fixed up. some sort OF a deal with Louis

pared to either make a final proposition to
Baltimore or call meeting Of the League
TO seek advice.

SMALLPOX AMONG INDIANS.
A Report on the Outbreaks OF the Dis
ease in Arizona.

report was issued yesterday by the
Indian Bureau on the outbreak OF smallpox
among the Indians in Keams Canon, Ari-
sona. The report says that in total popula-
ton Of 900 Indians, $50 cases of the disease
developed, OF which 1s4 resulted in death.
The first cases OF smallpox were dis
covered last spring numbering then only
three. In less than a month the disease
had spread to the appalling extent de-
sCribed.
The agency authorities, as the result Of
careful policing, and the enforcement Of
effectual quarantine measures, succeeded
in preventing the spread of the disease to
outlying villages. one of which was only a
few miles distant from the infected dis
trict
The disease was also prevented from
reaching the Indian school at Keams Can
on When the ahliction had apparently run
its course and steps We're taken to have
all the villages in which the disease had
ragged thoroughly cleansed and disinfected
a certain hostile element among the
Noquis opposed this work ol disinfection
and finally retrcated 10 he village of
SamOprivi. II was at last found necessary
to order troops 10 that place to overcome
the opposition. This was accomplished by
a detachment Of cavalry under the COM
mand Of Lieut. VI. NJ McNamee, without
bloodshed and the work OF fumigating the
village was completed.
The Yuni and other Pueblo villages in
Arizona were also attacked by the disease.

Attorney General Griggs yesterday re
Piled to the recent communication from
the Interstate Commerce Commission rel

ton made by the leading railroads 10 take
effect on January l. Mr. Griggs was asked
by the Commission if he believed the facts
warranted him in applying Tor an injuuc-
tion to restrain the railroads from putting
in operation the new classification, on the
ground that in adopting it the railroad
companies violated the antitrust law.
In his letter of reply Mr.. Grigge says
that in order 10 sustain such an injunction
it must be shown that there is contract
combination, or conspiracy in restraint OF
trade between the several States No such
combination. he declares has been shown
There is q consultation he continues
by representative railroad men in com
mittee respecting suggested changes in
classification There is subsequent indie
pendent action by railroad companies in the
adoption OF the new classification recon-
mended by the committee. The testimony
taken does not show that any railroad
company acted under the compulsion OF "a
combination in adopting the official classi-
fcatiOn.'
The Attorney General says in conclusion
that if there be remedy Tor The complain
ing shipper, it lies in an appeal to the
Commission Under the Interstate Commerce
law and not to the courts under the anti
