TEN-CLUB BALL LEAGUE
UNwIELDY COMBINATION PROPOSED
BY MIR. HICKEY'S ORGANIZATION.
VIII Nccessitate a Jump from Indian
apOIis and Louisville to Colorado
Springs and Denver.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1.-THE mag
their sessions most of to-day, and at 8
o'clock tonight President Hickey gave out
the following:
THE Pueblo franchise has been trans
ferred TO Colorado Springs, fiattering fnan-
inducements having been offered by the
latter place. The grievance of Sioux City
against the league has been amicably set
tied. This is all / care to say at present.
Perhaps L can give out further informa-
ton later tonight"
w. II. Watkins, representing Indianap-
oils, was called into the conference Tor
the first time tonight. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Packard, who holds the Denver
franchise, is very unwilling to transfer
his club to another city, and this now
seems likely to result in the formation of
a ten-club league, viz: Denver, Colorado
Springs, Omaha, Kansas City, DeS MOineS,
St. Joseph, ST. Paul, Minneapolis, Indian
apolis and Louisville. The likelihood of
Milwaukee getting a berth in the league
is not good, Walter Wilmot who was
after the franchise for that city. prac-
tically admitting that he had given up
hope. The grievance of Sioux City was
on account of certain expenses incurred
by capitalists there in an endeavor to Sc
cure the transfer of the Denver club to
that place.
After adjourning at midnight, it was an
nounced that eight cities had been posi-
lively settled upon-Denver, Colorado
Springs, Omaha, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Des Moines, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Final action upon the admission of Louis
vile and Indianapolis was deferred until
tomorrow. 1t is said that the chances
favor the ten-club plan.

MORE TROUBLE In RUSSIA
STATE OF sIEGE PROCLAIMED AT
ODESSA, KIEFF M KHARkOFF.
Further Disturbances Created by
University Studenfs-TOIstOi the
Hero of the Agitators.

ST. PETERSBURG. March lin conse-
quence of the riotous disturbances follow
ing the demonstrations promoted by uni
versity students. the government has pro-
claimed q state OF siege at Odessa, Kieff
and Kharkoff. II is reliably reported here
that a student died at Kharkoff from in
juries received in the disorders of March 4
in hat city. Eight hundred students of the
University of St. Petersburg, virtually all
remaining here. met last Friday and re-
solved not TO attend further lectures. The
police subsequently arrested sixteen. Four
hundred students of the archaeological
School entered the courtyard of the institu-
tion TO hold a meeting and the police in
scribed all their names. The Mining Acad-
envy is already entirely closed.
liz Is reported that Count Tolstoi, who
ever since his excommunication has been
loudly cheered wherever he has made his
appearance, is taking an active part in the
disturbances at Moscow, where the situa-
tien Is complicated by a strike of the opera
tives Of several large factories.

DEMOCRATIC IMPERIALISM.
The Arbitrary Disfranchisement of
the Electorate i'm Maryland.

In the Maryland Senate. on Thursday,
the Democrats forced the passage of a
disfranchisement law by declaring cloture
after two of the eleven Republicans had
spoken, in the face of the Senate rule which
provides that the previous question shall
not be moved until each senator who
wishes to speak on a question shall have
spoken at least once. One of the Repub-
leans who spoke, Mr.. Putzell, arraigned
the Democratic majority in the following
words:
Now that the wrinkles on the ball
have been all smoothed over by the mas
ter hand he began, and the order has
come forth that it must be passed, 1 sup
pose the measure will pass this body. 1
don't believe, however, that in following
this course or maintaining such party al
legiance that you will find you have acted
wisely. when you can't help but know that
it means your political death. The question
in the last campaign was raised with ref
erence to Imperialism, the claim was made
that Imperialism leads to tyranny and tyr
amy to bossism. Could there be a more
perfect Illustration of Imperialism than in
the adoption Of this unfair and unjust bill?
This measure will disfranchise thousands of
citizens, and it was intended to do so. This
bribery feature is only a subterfuge and a
sham. We showed them how they could
prevent bribery if they SO wished. by adopt
ing the party emblem amendment, but no,
they didn't want it to contain a feature
which would permit the illiterate to walk
into the booth and independently cast his
vote"
The Baltimore Herald on the
passage of the bill as follows: 1.-The party
lash cracked again and the fourteen Demo-
cratic senators at Annapolis yesterday
closed their eyes to the Constitution and
voted to take away from the people OF
Maryland what the people have given
themselves-the right of every man to vote.
The purpose of the election bin is well de-
fined and well understood by both parties,
as we'll as by the people that are not par
ticularly interested in the welfare of either.
The bill which the Governor will sign, a
bill framed in secret under Mr.. m

grow, month by month, until November
furnishes the people an opportunity to be
heard. There is no trick in the German
ment for honest election and the constitu-
tional right TO vote"
