THE BASEBALL SITUATION.
President Young Denies That Certain
Cities Have Been Dropped.

President Young, of the National
League, seemed to be very much surprised
at the report which has been widely cir
cuiated to the effect that the League had
dropped the Louisville, Cleveland, Balti-
more, and Washington clubs from the
rolls. He processes to know nothing
about such a move and, although he does
not say so, he intimates that the report is
not true. With regard TO the League af-
fairs he would have nothing to say, when
asked for a statement by a Times re-
porter.
Mike Scanlon. the local association en-
thusiast, stated positively that the four
clubs mentioned had been dropped, and
that the arrangement for their leaving the
League was made three months ago. He
stated that he has received assurances
from McGraw, of the Baltimore team, that
he will enter the American Association if
it is formed. and that probably the entire
Baltimore team will do the same

The stock market today was disappoint-
ing. Fluctuations we're within extremely
narrow limits and the close at y o'clock
showed no important change from the
closing prices yesterday. The first trans
actions were mostly at an advance, but
after the bank statement, which was the
best in many months, these gains were
lost The entire week, has in fact, been
dull and SLOW almost a record breaker in
this regard. The only satisfaction for the
bulls in this state of things is that despite
the lack of spirit and even of interest the
tendency of prices has been upward in a
small way The level at the close today
is higher than it was at the close last Sat
urday in nearly all securities.

Mr.. Gould used to say that it is not safe
TO sell dull market, and the present situ-
alton seems TO be a very good illustration
of that market maxim. Prices do not ad-
vance very rapidly, and the bulls are TO a
certain extent discouraged, but the really
noticeable fact in the entire situation is
that the bears are not able to cause a
break. There is a short interest of goodly
proportions, and the shorts do not care TO
go any deeper On the other hand the
news everywhere is satisfactory, and the
bulls are only waiting for good news from
South Africa. This may come before
Monday. The outlook for next week is ex-
cellent.

The bank statement shows an increase
in deposits Of more than $4,000, 600. The
surplus reserves have increased during
the week about S7,500,00 and are now
about S23, 100000. The cash has increased
more than $11, 100000. These figures are
the best in many long months. They indi-
cate in the most convincing way the ease
of the money situation, about which there
is no question anywhere Such a state
ment should be the best kind of bull ar
gument, and it will be when the market
has once begun to advance. The accumu-
lation of good news of various kinds dur
ing a dull period is all felt, even though
not Immediately. The figures of the state
ment are as follows: Reserves increased

THE ALASKAN BILL PASSED.
sections Relating to Mining Laws
EXCLUDED Mt Mr. Cnrter's Reauert

The Senate yesterday, without division,
passed the Alaskan Code bill, creating a
form Of government for that Territory. The
bill is very voluminous and covers over
500 pages, Senator Carter, who had charge
OF IT, called the measure up and spoke of
the long discussion which had followed
the Offering of the amendment as to min
I ing locations at Cape Nome, and said that
it had become apparent that either the
amendment would have to be abandoned,
or the bill itself would have to be aban
doned
We are advised by the press" he said,
that sailing vessels loaded with freight
and passengers have raised anchor and
are now bound to Behring Sea: that every
available particle Of shipping on the Pacific
Coast has been chartered to take passen-
gers and freight to Cape Nome, and that
the most elaborate and remarkable pre-
parations ever made for the rapid devel
Opment of a mining country have been
made and are now in progress in the dis
trict of Alaska To deny to its people pro-
lection for life and property, under law,
would be a withering disgrace to the
American Congress.
Il am persuaded that every Senator
feels that it is the duty OF the hour to
pass this bill without delay. 1t is obvious.
however, that some Senators are so op-
posed to the pending amendment that they
would feel warranted in absolutely deny
ing law, government. and justice to the
people of Alaska rather than see this
amendment prevail. l therefore ask Unan-
imous consent that sections Y and 73 of
the bill and the amendments proposed to
them lin relation to mining laws) be ex-
cluded from the bill"
After some collOquy Mr.. Carters propo-
sition was agreed to. Mr. Bate offered an
amendment on the subject OF cOntempts OF
court-requiring proceedings by injunction
to be tried by jury.
AS this amendment was likely to lead
to another extended debate. Mr. Bate was
appealed to to withdraw it and not further
retard the passage OF the bill. He yielded
to the appeal and withdrew the amend
ment. The bill was thereupon passed
without a division
