PARLIAMENT MEETS.
REAL WORK OF THE SESSION BE
GINS THURSDAY.


LONDON, Dec. S.-The opening of the
initial session OF the Fifteenth parlia-
ment of Queen Victoria occurred at 2
o'clock this afternoon. 1t was a formal
affair and of little public interest. A
small crowd assembled to see the beef
eaters, who carried out the usual search
for possible eonspirators in the vaults
beneath the houses of parliament, with
the customs ceremonial and with
the customary result. There was like
wise the usual competition of jealous
members of parliament to be first on the
scene and J. G. McDona, Conservative,
member for the Rotherhithe division of
Southwark, easily secured the choice of
seats, arriving in the house at midnight
Although the only business before the
house was the election Of a speaker,
the attendance Of members was good, in
spite of the absence Of the Irish mem
bers.
There was no opposition to the re-
election Of William Court-Cully, for
third term. Congratulatory speeches fol-
lowed. The real work Of the session will
begin Thursday with the reading OF the
queens speech and the debates ON the
reply to the address from the throne
in both houses.
Only handful of persons attended the
opening Of the house of lords, the dusky
surroundings of " III, however, were
frightened by the presence of a number
of ladies. The lord chancellor, the Earl
of Halsbury, promptly dispatched the
black rod to summon the commons. On
their arrival the royal commission was
read, and the lord chancellor directed
the commons to return to the house and
elect a president. When this brief cere-
mony was over the house Of lords sus-
pended business.

Express company and others, including
the railroad commissioners of Georgia,
was advanced today by the United States
supreme court and set for Feb. 25, after
the disposal Of other cases on the calen-

those companies of the right to contract
with the railway companies to pay.
The court rendered an opinion in the
case Of The Las Aninas Land Grant
Company VS.. The United States, on ap-
peal from the decision of the court of

LOOKS LIKE WAR.
Strained Relations Between National
and American Baseball Leagues.


CHICAGO. Dec. 3-Negotiations be-
tween the National and American leagues
have reached q critical point, according
to information gained today. 1t was
| learned that President Hart had been
! commissioned by the circuit committee
of the National league to arrange for
any possible agreement that might be
made between the two organizations.
As the circuit committee is made up of
Soden, Brush and Rogers, which means
the controlling interest in the National
league, Mr.. Hart is in reality acting for
the National league.
league, today called on Mr.. Hart and
had long conference with the local
nagnate.
President Johnson would say nothing
about the meeting. Mr.. Hart contended
that the call of Mr.. Johnson was of
social nature.
Whatever the visit might have accom-
plished, 1t was known that important
matters were under discussion. Later in
the evening Mr.. Johnson took a train for
Cleveland. where he will meet Q. w.
SOnerS tomorrow. He will return Thurs
day, just before MIR. Hart leaves for the
league meeting in New York, and it can
be authoritauvely stated that Mr.. Hart
will carry to the meeting in New York a
| resolution enbodying all the demands
made by the American league magnates.
'tAs [ understand it," said President
Hart tonight. the situation up to the
present is this:
1.-THE American league was anxious to
| expand. I suggested Louisville in place
of Minneapolis. That would have made
a compact circuit After I got back
from California President Johnson in
formed me that the American league
wanted to take in Baltimore, Washington
and Philadelphia. l had been led to I'M
derstand that McGraw and Robinson
were not wanted in the organization.
when l heard that they wanted Bal
! tinlOre and Washington, 1 suggested as a
member of the circuit committee that the
| American league take the National league
! grounds vacated in those cities, We have
| not come to q conclusion over this.
1.-THE National league is willing to be
| fair. but it will not be trampled upon
The American league has not signed the
! national agreement for next year, SO
| technically, there is absolutely no rela-
| ton between the two. We could go in
and sign every man in the American
| league not now signed if we wanted to-
| but we do not care to do business in that
way.
''Tha' American league IS willing to
| come under a new national agreement,
but the league itself will have TO bring
| the question: before the national directors
or no action viii be taken. Certain alter
attons In the agreement are wanted by
| Johnson and his colleagues, but nothing
| has been changed yet. There the matter
/ stands
