 Tt became known yesterday Tuesday, that a new club has already been organ ized in this city ready to do business at once.
 During the political squabbling the fact has been apparently overlooked that the New York club has been practically torn to pieces by the American League. Davis Hickman Warner and Selbach have jumped. Christy Matthewson was sent out of town to avoid the American League managers.

"FouR-MILE LIQUOR LAW"
Causes Injunction to Be Filed Against
 an Election in Tennessee.

Chattanooga. December 7.-(Special) J. Under an act of the last State Legisla- ture providing for the surrender of town charters for the purpose of taking ad- vantage of the four-mile liquor law which prohibits saloons within four miles of any school, the city of Greenville has or dered an election for Thursday to decide whether the present charter shall be sur rendered or not. Pending the election Chicago parties holding bonds of the city of Greenville appeared before the United States district court Judge c. D. Clark presiding, asking for an injunction against the holding of this election, the bondholders claiming they had vested rights that might be vitiated by sur render of the town charter. Judge Clark dismissed the petition, stating that abro- gation of the charter would in no wise relieve the people of the old corporation from their obligation to pay bonds held by the petitioners. The defendants claim that this suit was inspired by the anti prohibitionists who hoped in that way to prevent the people from voting on the question, which, 1t is said, will go against the saloons.
 It is said by members of the State tenn perance league that this decision will be their charters for the same reason, hay ing hitherto held back until this question was settled.

JONES CONFIRMED
 REESE ON TRIAL

Washington, December 1L-(Special)- The Senate in executive session today, confirmed the nomination of Thomas G. Jones judge of the Northern and Middle districts of Alabama, and Morris D. Wickersham district attorney of the Southern district.
 The Senate did not confirm the nomina- tion of Warren S. Reese district attor- ney of the Middle district. Reese's nom- ination is hung up in the Senate judiciary committed owing to the fact that charges the nature of which can not be learned have been preferred against him. Reese has been notified of the charges and ordered to answer them. He will prob- ably come to Washington to appear per sonally before the committee. It is thought the charges will not be proved sufficient to defeat confirmation.

Buffalo. N. Y, December 17--In view of the discussion of the question of who should pay the physicians who attend ed President Mckinley Dr. Mathew D.

We feel therefore that we have right to look to Congress for our remuneration. We took tre- mendous responsibility, and taking such a responsibility we ran an immense risk.

 The President told Representative Thompson today he had appointed Bryan upon Judge Thomas G. Jones request.
 The settlement of the judicial ap- peintments of the State brings to close one of the hardest fought battles Alabama politicians ever encountered in Washington.
 1t Was Uncertain.
 It was made more uncertain by the reports daily brought from the White House that the President had reached one decision and another depeno- ing upon which case happened to be im- nasstiars~is Y'.ss'--A- him. It is certain thsf at no time was the appointment of any one man assured to, and several times during the fight it looked as if the Pres ident intended to make clean sweep. The appointments are largely cue to the efforts of the Democratic members or Congress. The bare reports that Johnston Shelley and others were seeking to gain plea of building up a Republican party caused the Democrats to unite in opposi- tion. Whether or not they were fighting an imaginary enemy they won with as much ease as the new constitution was ratified
 Two More Offices.
 The President now has but two more important Alabama cases to settle at this time. those of Collector Bingham and Postmaster Hughes of Birmingham. The secretary of the treasury is said to favor the reappointment' of Bingham, while the postmaster general is in favor of Hughes.
 As the President followed the recom- mendations of the attorney general in the judicial appointments the presumption Is that he will leave the cases of Bingham and Hughes to their respective depart ments However. no rules guide MT. Roosevelt. The opposition appears confi- dent of defeating the collector and post master, but the general situation seems to favor the ins as against the outs.
