RECEPTION
THE HUSBANDS OF THE MEMBERS
ENJOYED AN EXCELLENT
PROGRAMME.

The reception given in the club rooms
of the Presbyterian church last night un-
der the auspices of the WOman's club
was d most successful affair in every
particular. The reception was given to
the husbands of the members of the club
and a few invited friends, the object of
which was to demonstrate to the sterner
sex what the ladies have accomplished
during the past year, and those who We're
fortunate enough to be present We're de-
lighted with their entertainment.
Mrs. Buzzo is president of the club.
The programme began with a very bright
talk by Mrs. Collier on Our Silent Part
ners." Mrs. A. c. Newells talk was de-
voted to journalism. yellow and other
WISE and the lady was kind enough to
say some gracious things about Butte
newspapers. Mrs. Buzzo's paper on the
Higher Education of Women in which
she advocated the establishment in col
leges of course of study in the science
of housekeeping. The topic, it is need
less to say, proved very interesting to the
listening husbands. Mrs. Christie's topic
was The Club Woman' wherein she
told of the growth of club organization
in the United States concluding with
history of the Woman's club of Butte
which she said had a membership of 125
and had become a factor in a social way
in the city. Among the other numbers of
an excellent programme were recitation

brook; vocal duet by Mrs Price and
Mrs. Flavin, a piano solo by Miss Robin
son, a baritone solo by Mrs. Hamilton,

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
BASEBALL MAGNATES MEET AT
NEW YORK.
A Reduction of the Circuit One of
the Leading Questions Which
Will be Considered.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE mag
mates of the National Baseball League
began their annual fall meeting here to-
day. Not in years has a league meeting
been charged with SO much of import
ance as the present one, and there is no
forecasting with any degre of certainty
what its results will be. First and fore
most will be the discussion over the
proposed reduction of the circuit. Then
the question of rowdyism will be
threshed over once more.
j. Earl Wagner of Washington seems
to be the man to whom propositions
will have to be made if the circuit is
reduced to eight clubs, as has been pro-
posed. Dreyfuss. with his new hold
ings in the Pittsburg club, might easily
be brought to dispose of his Louisville
franchise, which has been a loser for
many seasons. The same may be said
of the Robinsons To them the Cleve-
land franchise has been a burden, while
the st. Louis franchise, bought last
year, is profitable. As to the Brook
lyn-Baltimore syndicate, it is said that
the owners are not averse to dropping
Baltimore for a consideration
valueless in the eyes of the managers
of the other clubs, Mr.. Wagner has
views of his own on the subject Just
how far Wagner has been approached
nobody seems to know, but apropos to
the subject, Arthur Irwin made a sig
nificant remark ~
Il think l have seen my last year in
league baseball" he said. Il am inter
ested in big land Improvement scheme
in Washington, and I have spoken to
Mr.. Wagner about releasing me from
my contract He has practically given
his consent
Irwin has a three-year contract with
Wagner only one year of which has
gone by
The Brooklyn-New York controversy
over the Wrigley matter was under con-
sideration by the Board of Arbitration.
Wrigley played with the Syracuse team
of the Eastern League last year AT
the conclusion of the Eastern League
season, on September 10Th, he signed to
play the remainder of the National
League season with New York. Suisse
quently the Brooklyn club bought
Wrigley's release from Syracuse. and
acting under instructions from Presi-
dent Powers of the Eastern League.
Wrigley went to Brooklyn to finish the
season. The New York club protested,
claiming that under a previous ruling
by the Board of Arbitration the SYRIA
cuse club could sell Wrigley, but his
contract with the club to which he was
sold did not become binding until the
beginning of next season.
If the board sustains the protest of
the New York club, all the games
played by the Brooklyn team in which
Wrigley took part may be thrown out

SENSATION AT BERLIN.
DR.. Lieber Criticises in Reichstag
Emperor Williams Speech.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE event of the
day has been DR.. Liebers criticism in
the Reichstag of Emperor Williams
speech at Hamburg. The spectacle of
this cautious leader Of the important
group in the Reichstag-the section
that will decide the fate of the naval
bill-thus severely blaming the Kaiser
is almost without parallel in German
parliamentary history. 1t was all the
more notable because Count Won f,ale-
strem. President of the Reichstag, up
held the dignity of the chamber, and
maintained freedom of speech, even
against the Imperial Chancellor.
This evening parliamentary circles
are all agog over the incident. BY
some it is said that Count Won Bale
strem, who, on several previous occa-
sions, stopped similar criticism, had in
this instance personal motive for per-
hitting unrestrained comment, because,
as one Of the chief opponents of the
canal bill, he became persona non
grata with the Emeporor, who banished
him from court.
In any event, the affair has not i'm
proved the chances of the naval bill.
The evening papers all refer to it.
The 'Centrist Germania" saws:
count Won Buelow's speech amounted
to proclamation of Germany's we'll
stellung (world position), which the
Centre disapproves.
The National Zeitung," however,
wholly approves the naval plan of the
Government.
The "Neuste Nachrichten" comments
favorably upon Prince Hohen,ohe's dec
lara ton yesterday, alleging that it ''flas
placed the Government naval bill back
on constitutional basis"
The "Vossische Zeitung" and 'Freis-
sinnige Zeitung'' condemns the Chan
cellor's announcement, and altogether
the press comment is unfavorable rath-
err than otherwise.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
st. Paul Chosen as Place for Hold
ing Clubs Next Convention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Exec
publican League of Republican Clubs
met here for the purpose of deciding
upon a city for holding the next con-
vention of the league. President George
Stone of San Francisco presided, and
the roll-call by Secretary D. H. Slime
of Newport, KY, showed forty-four
members present, the largest ON record
at such meeting.
A resolution was adopted reciting that
in the death of Vice President Hobart
the league had lost warm friend and
supporter, the Senate a wise and i'm
partial presiding officer and the nation
an irreparable loss.
The main feature to-day was a dis
cussion of the proposed repeal of Arti-
Gle XIII. of the league constitution,
which prohibits it from endeavoring to
influence the nomination of any candi-
date or the adoption of any policy by
any State or national convention. Those
opposing repeal urged that a change
such as that proposed woulu lead to
office-holding politicians controlling the
machinery of the clubs in favor of par
ticular persons.
L. ]. Crawford of Kentucky offered
a resolution providing that a commit
tee of five be appointed to present at
the next national convention of the
league a revision of the constitution
and bylaws, and to incorporate into
such revision an article providing for
revenues, so that the league may be
self-supporting. Both matters were
shelved temporarily.
The claims of cities which were anx-
ious to entertain the next annual con-
vention were heard The advantages
of st. Paul, Mimi, were set forth by
D. NJ Reese, Clerk of the Minnesota
Supreme Court, and Representative
Burke of South Dakota, on behalf OF
the Republicans and league of that
State, and the Business Mems League
of Sioux Falls invited the league to
hold it's convention at Sioux Falls.
After listening also to the claims OF
Galveston and Indianapolis, st. Paul
was chosen as the place for holding the
next convention of Republican clubs,
receiving % votes to for Indianapolis
and Is for Sioux Falls. The date of
the convention was fixed for the third
Tuesday in July.
A resolution declaring in favor of Sc
lecting delegates to the National Re
publican Convention on a basis of Re
publican votes cast in the several States
was laid on the table, as was also one
declaring it unwise to make a change
at this time.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Craw-
ford of Kentucky for the appointment
of a committee to revise the constitu-
ton, including the article forbidding the
league to prefer candidates, was
adopted.
The committee adopted a resolution
offered by Melville Hayes of Ohio to
call on the President and express to
him it's hearty Endorsement of his wise
and patriotic administration"

Results Far More Terribly Than at
First Reported.
The Whole Coast For Miles Transformed
Into q Huge Mud Puddle.
Loss Of Life Estimated at Five
Thousand People-Out Of a Pop
ulation Of Eighteen Hundred in
Two Towns Alone Only Forty
of the Inhabitants Escaped.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE
Bulletin" says: The disaster which
overlook the Island of Ceram on the
I'd of last month cost the people of
that district immense loss in lives and
property.
The steamship America Maru, which
arrived yesterday from the Orient,
brought advices from Ceram, and re-
ports that 5000 people were destroyed
on that island alone when the dreadful
earthquakes of November shocked the
Japan coast and agitated the islands
adjacent to the empire.
On the night of the I'd the people of
Ceram were awakened by a terrific
shock of earthquake that seemed to
work from north to south. Everyone
fled from their houses, and took up
places in the public square. A few
hours later it was reported that the
water was rising in the bay of Am
bonia. The sea came forward in the
shape of huge tidal wave, and
forced the water into the bay entrance.
1t came up fifty feet over the low
lands. At Pauholy and Samasoeroa,
on the bay, the wave swept over the
tops of trees thirty feet high. Out of
nearly 1,SOO inhabitants only forty es-
capped.
The whole coast for miles was trans
formed into huge mud puddle.
Corpses were everywhere. Broken
trees and portions Of houses were
buried in the ooze.
Every few rods were great Jumps of
stones and boulders that had been
washed up from the sea, changing the
entire topography of the country. The
exact number of killed along the coast
will never be known, as the bodies are
buried in many cases yards under the
new ground. At Hatoesia, out of 500
people, 100 were killed and forty in
jured. The balance escaped to the
hills when the shock of earthquake was
first felt.
