the island and on educational matters.
Mr. Brulbaugh said conditions in Porto
Rico are steadily improving There IS
much interest and considerable excite
nent over the first election. The con-
test has developed on lines similar TO
those in the United States. The RepuD-
lican party is in full harmony with
President Mckinley and for American
administration while the Federal party
within the past two weeks has endorsed
Bryan, declared for Porto Rican ana
against American administration. The.
latter party embraces the pro-Spanish
element, he said and the former the
cans he thinks will elect a majority of
the house as well as the commissioner
to Washington.
Mr.. Brulbaugh said the picking of a
thirty per cent crop of coffee and the
grinding of sugar, has just commenced,
giving employment to a great many labor
ers. BY reason of the better food now

remains of the 81, 100000 appropriated for
Porto Rico before the tariff bill was en-
acted The government of Porto Rico is
as solvent as any bank. he said, and no
debt is contracted until the money is
available to meet it. The people, as a
class are ca ger for education and accent
ing all the opportunity offered them. The
duties on imports from the United States !
for the first week of October exceeded the |
total trade of the United States with the
island for whole year under Spanish
dominion. showing the opening of i'm
portant market.

vaded by the American League. with
or without permission. The expansion
policy of the American League on a
scale approaching national proportions,

this morning for the first time by Presi-
dent Byron Bancroft Johnson, who has
been here the past two days with Mr..
c. W. Somers. owner of the Cleveland
club, studying the local situation Tor the
purpose of organizing an American
League club here.
President Johnson. when consulted as
to the purposes OF the American League,
said:
I'VE have concluded positively to in
clude Washington and Baltimore IN our
circuit next season. and are now cOnsld-
ering arrangements for this purpose. We
have finally determined to break our
former bounds and come east regardless
of what obstacles may be placed IN our
path We have more than ample imam
ciaI backing and enthusiastic support
ers to accomplish our object, and will
go right ahead organizing our new cir
readiness to promptly start the season
next spring. I have looked at the Ma
tional Leagues plant here. National
Park, which still carries a three-year
lease, but We may locate at another
place. possibly the circus grounds.
while we wish to work in harmony
with the MAJOR league we nave grown
large and strong enough not to be die
tated to, and will choose our own
grounds and infringe on National league
territory even without its consent if our
wishes are not respected"
Mr. johnson further said:
I'VE are bound for Baltimore, where
we win look after arrangements for a
club in that city the next couple of

the situation in those cities. / viii call

port viii be made and the matter dis
cussed."
When questioned as to which two
cities Will be dropped next season, and
what possible action might be taken the
following year, President johnson said;
I can not foreteI what cities the
American club owners will agree to
withdraw from. Our league is an IN
usually good one, worthy of a better cir
cult than at least two Of the cities
afforded last season All the other cities
are excellent baseball towns What Will
be the conditions a year hence can only
surTnise- Our keynote is progress. with
AL the American owners banded together
for their general protection, and our
circuit may be determined by survival

No One Has Asked Him to Preside
Over she National League.

Boston, Oct. Timothy H Nurnane
doubts the correctness of the rnmors
that he is to succeed Nick Young as
president of the National League. TIe
said;
T know no more about the matter
than what I have read in the newspa-
pers Of late. have not been approach
ed by a single person regarding the
matter, and cannot, therefore. say any
thing on the subject. You know just as
much about the matter as I do I have
made no effort to secure the position,
and while I should regard my selection
for the place as the highest honor I
could receive at the hands of baseball
men, shall not make any effort to get
the place. / am, hope, a true friend
OF baseball, and am for the good of the
game first, last and always.
I do not want to place myself in any
false light, and so I tell you frankly
that I know nothing about the truth of
these rumors- If the baseball people
want me for president they have not
yet sent anyone to talk with me about
