AT THEIR ANNUAL ROW
Winter Meeting of the National
Baseball League.
A HOT TIME is EXPECTED
There Has Been No End OF Lobbying
M NIB RS Are Armed or Bitter
Atteck-Many Schemes
on Hand.

New York, Dec. 12.-To-day marked
the beginning OF the annual winter
meeting 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 arbitra-
tion that the league only met to carry
out the requirements of the constiiu-
ton and Immediately adjourned.
Not in years, not since the end OF
the famous brotherhood fight, has
league meeting been fraught with so
much Importance as the one just be-
gun. For weeks past there has been
no end OF lobbying and wire pulling
among the various club owners. for all
the avowed purpose of reducing the
circuit and purifying the national
game. Several OF the minor teams were
also represented.
1t is not believed probable that the
proposed scheme for reduction in the
league circuit will go through. The
situation as summed up by one Of the
baseball men tonight, was this:
louisville and Cleveland will sell on
fair terms. Wagner wants big money
for his franchise in Washington, and
the Observation-Disclosures syndicate
wants the earth for the Oriole franchise.
Who is going to put UP all this money?
The league? Well, / hope not"
For more than FIVE houls to-day the
members of the national board of ar
bitration of the National League Of
Baseball clubs argued as to the merits
of the Wrigley controversy, in which
the New York, Brooklyn and Syracuse
clubs are involved.
At the conclusion of the conference
1t was announced that resolution had
been adopted declaring that the Syra-
cuse club had no right to control Wrig-
ley's services after his contract had
terminated with that club. In word.
the action of the board Of arbitration
was 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 ear
lier 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 three-cor-
nered one between New York. Brook
lyn and Syracuse. At the conclusion of
the Eastern league season Wrisley
| signed 10 nnlSh the season Win new
| York, A few days later he was sold by
Syracuse club to Brooklyn, and, acting
under the advice 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 Rave the Brooklyn
management disciplined for playing
Wrisley when he had signed the New
York contract. What will be done Is
| problematical.

Bryan May Be the Compromise APP
pointee in Nebraska
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 12.--The senatorial
situation Is daily becoming more COM
plicated and there are those who claim
that the appointm of either Allen
or Hitchcock will disrupt the party and
that the governor will be compelled
either to appoint dark horse or con-
cede to the request made by Orlando
Teft. chairman of the state republican
committee and call special session of
the legislature to settle the matter.
Governor Poynter returned to Lincoln
to-day, accompanied by delegation Of
Hitchcock men. On his arrival at the
state house he was besieged by a
horde of friends of both Hitchcock and
Allen. The governor put in the day
locking over the mail and kilograms
that accumulated during his absence
and in giving a hearing to the politi-
clans. He intimated during the day
that he may announce the name OF
Hayward's successor tomorrow. Some
think that Bryan will be appointed
basing their belief upon the fact that
the morning Hayward died the gov
ernor was closeted for several hours
with Charles w. Bryan, brother of w
j. Bryan. All sorts of rumors are
afoat here and in Lincoln tonight and
everybody will be glad when it is
over.

MANY LIVES LOST IN
A TIDAL WAVE
Eve Thousand Peopla Perished on the
Island o. Coram-Coast or
Miles Trans ormed.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE Bulletin
says: The disaster that overlook the
Island of Coram on the second of last
month cost the people of that district
immense loss in lives and property
The steamship America. Maru, which
arrived yesterday, brought advices from
Coram and reports that 5000 people
were destroyed on that island alone
when the dreadful earthquakes OF
November shocked the japan coast and
agitated the lands adjacent to the en-
pire.
On the night of the second the people
of Coram were awakened by terrific
work from north to south. Every one
fled from their houses and took up
places In the public square. A few hours
later is was reported 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. 1t came up so feet
over the lowlands. At Paupoly and
Samasoeroa, on the bay, the waves
swept over the tops of trees 80 feet
high.
Out of nearly 1900 inhabitants, only
40 escaped.
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
humps of stones and boulders that had
been washed up from the sea changing
the entire topography of the country.
The exact number killed along the coast
will never be known, as the bodies are
buried many yards under new ground.

himself upon the financial bill now be-
fore the house. He said:
Following the line of the presidents
message, congress is at present consid-
ering a bill that is an extremely bed
measure I refer to the financial bill
now under discussion in the house. This
bill is very bad one indeed. 1t Is a
part of the gold standard peoples plan

SAVE THEIR RAILROAD FARES.
Expedients by Which Dishonest Travellers
Beat Their Way.

Expedients by Which Dishonest Travellers
Beat Their Way.
From the Kansas City Times.
There was man in town yesterday
who told Of a new scheme he has just
worked to beat railroad "a friend
of mine and myself wanted to come
from Omaha to Kansas City. He said
to me: You buy a ticket only to the
first station and will show you a
good trick I bought the ticket as re-
quested, while my friend bought
ticket for the full distarce at the regu-
lar fare. We took a seat together IN
the train. The conductor came around,
took up the tickets and put puncneo
train check in my friends hat. tndlcat-
ing that he was ticketed through 70
Kansas City. When tire conductor got
out of sight my friend took his knife
and split the card. He put half into
my hat and the other into his own.
Both splits looked like regular
check and I came right on through
without paying any more rare. we
divided the saving, which was more
than 80 each"
A railroad man who heard the story
said that 1t was as cleverly conceived a
scheme to rob the railroads as the
one which 1t is said few travelling
men used to practice in the days when
2-cent mileage books were more gener-
ally used than at present. That
scheme was to go into tire car early and
run a string along under the seats:
One man would sit in the forward end
Of the car with the mileage hook. After
tbe conductor had torn out the mileage
he would tie the book to the string and
his confederate few seats back would
draw it to himself under the seats
When the conductor got to him he
would have the mileage book all right
and coupons for his passase would be
torn therefrom by tire unsuspectins
conductor. The conspi"ators would
| save a cent q mile by this scheme.
