Minister Macdonald Says Situation
Is Desperate.


Is Desperate.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-The British con-
sui at Canton, says The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent there, has received
the following message, dated Aug 6,
from Sir Claude Macdonald, British
minister in Picking: "Our situation here
is desperate. In ten days our food supply
will be at an end. Unless we are relieved
a general massacre is probable. The
Chinese offer to escort us to Tien-tsin,
but, remembering Cawnpur, we refuse
the offer. There are over 200 European
women and children in this legation"
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Daily Express, wiring yesterday, says,
"The allies at noon Saturday were with
In 20 miles Of Picking"
A Yang-tsun dispatch, dated Aug. z,
giving details regarding the capture of
that place, says:
"The Russians and French held the
left, the British the left center, the Amer
leans the right center and the japanese
the extreme right. The British and Amer
leans advanced on the village at a rapid
rate for 5000 yards and under a severe
shell and rife fire. The Russians opened,
and the British-American advance be-
came a race for positions, eliminating in
a brilliant charge.
"The heaviest loss of the day was sus-
tanned by the Americans, the Fourteenth
infantry having 8 killed, 90 wounded and
several missing. The Bengal lancers I'M
successfully attempted to cut off the Chi
nese retreat"
Another Yang-tsun special says: "Ow-
ing TO a mistake British and Russian
guns shelled the Fourteenth United
States infantry during the night, wound
ing ten"

NEW YORK, June 10.-The Protect
i've Association of Professional Base
Ball Players" is the name of the or
ganization effected in this city to-day
at meeting of delegates from the
eight National League teams. The
question of base ball players forming
an organization for mutual benefit has
been agitated for some time. The
farming out of players against their
will and other practices that are con-
sidered grievances by the players. led
up to to-day's meeting. Meetings have
been held by the different teams and
delegates were selected at those meet
ings to to-day's conclave as follows:
New York-Davis, Doyle and Mercer.
Brooklyn-Keeler, Kelley and Jen-
nings.
Boston-Duffy, Collins and Clarke.

Cincinnati-Corcoran, Irwin and

All of these players were on hand and
an organization was accomplished. The
deliberations were secret, but, accord
ing TO Hugh Jennings. who was de-
cided on as spokesman for the players,
it was a good meeting ana everybody
was in earnest
1t was decided not to affiliate with
the American Federation OF Labor, for
the present. The utilization may come
later. but the players thought il adj
visable to feel their way before taking
any positive step in that direction. This
point was decided by vote
1T was the sense Of the meeting not
to antagonize the League in any way"
Jennings said. Justice and fair deal
ings are what We want The organlza-
tons takes in about all the League
players. A League player does not
have to join. however, nor would a
player be tabooed il he did not join.
