WASHINGTON, Feb. 27--Veteran organic
cations of the civil and Spanish wars have
officially declined to participate in the in
augural parade on March L. The decision
affects organizations in the Grand Army of

INDEPENDENT COMPANIES.
They Are Pleased Over the Opinion Of
Judge Brown.

Judge Brown.
Nearly one hundred of the independent
telephone companies of Indiana were rep
resented at conference held here yester-
day. Mr. S. p. Sheerin said, last night, that
the meeting had nothing to do with legis-
lative matters. Last night the telephone
men were entertained at the Grand and lat
er at the Columbia Club. During the meet
ing the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Mutual Telephone
Association of the State of Indiana, in con-
vention assembled, hereby extends its
warmest congratulations to the public in
general and to the OWNERS of telephone
properties in particular. upon the decision
of the United States Court. rendered upon
the Berliner patent, in Boston, to-day. We
also extend our heartiest congratulations
and most sincere thanks to the officers or
the National Independent Telephone AS
ISOLATION of the United States, who made
the gallant fight, against great odds, which
resulted in to-days legal victory. The Bell
telephone monopoly is now legally dead as
it has been actually dead since the expira-
ton of its basic patents. From this time
forward the telephone business will be con-
sidered and judged upon its commercial
merits only. and all the people who desire
telephones may have them, without threats
of damage suits for infringement"

SURPRISE FOR BASEBALL MEN
PRESIDENT POWER NOT IN A HAPPY
STATE OF MIND.

The most complete retraction of business
promises and display of unsportsmanlike
conduct ever chronicled in baseball history
was set out in dispatches from New York
last night, stating that the American AS
ISOLATION had given up the ghost. The de-
mise of the Association was caused by the
failure of the National League men to live
up TO their promises to the men who pro-
NOTED the Association. The League men
promised TO finance the Association in at
least three cities of its circuit, but there
was sufficient capital in all of the cities.
excepting Baltimore, and the League men
refused to make good their promises.
Charles Ruschaupt, secretary of the In
dianapolis Club was seen early this morn
ing The dispatches from New York were
read to him and he characterized the action
of the National League as a complete
throw down" for the Association men
who were willing to invest their money to
help carry on a war for the National
League against the American League. Mr..
Ruschaupt said Baltimore was the only city
that needed backing, and 1t was understood
the National League men would furnish
the capital for the Baltimore club. He
blamed the demise of the Association to
DIuSll, mart anu Soucii, liic A~otAo""A
League committee who evidently became
frightened at the progress of the American
League and desired to back down from
their promises TO fight that league. Mr.
Ruschaupt surprised at the action of
the League men and intimated that prob
ably Mr.. Brush did not succeed In carrying
his point with the other League men to
support the American Association. Mr.
Ruschaupt said the situation now looked to
him as IL there is a possibility of the Ma
tional League raising the war cloud and al
lowing Johnson to enter the Eastern cities
Mr.. Ruschaupt added that indianapolis
will have club this year, but 1t will prob
ably be in the Western League The circuit
of that league will probably be changed so
to include Indianapolis and. possibly,
Louisville The Interstate League circuit
may also be revised. The Western League
circuit may be made I'D of Indianapolis,
Louisville Toledo, Dayton, ST. Paul, Min
neapolis Omaha and Kansas City. Presi-
dent Watkins is expected home tonight or
tomorrow.
The action of the National League and
the demise of the American Association
a surprise to baseball men. President
Power, of the association, held on to the
last and he waited all day hoping TO get a
hearing from the magnates. He bitterly
accused the magnates of failing to keep
their promise to give financial aid TO the
association. W. II. Watkins, who, with his
partner, Mr.. Ruschaupt, have $4,000 tied
up in the Indianapolis club. refused to talk
in New York last night. Mr.. Rauschaupt
of the indianapolis club is untrue, as Brush
is not financially interested in the club
whatever.

have nothing more to do with League base
ball until the magnates had taken more
decided steps toward purifying the game.
President Freedman's amendment follows !:
club officials shall have the player Offend
ing removed from the grounds forthwith -
After the amendment was defeated Mr..
Freedman rose and said: This power has
been in the hands of the umpires a long
time and they have been criticised for
their failure to act promptly and energet-
ically. The matter has been up TO the
magnates and they have refused TO take
action. Until some proper and adequate
action be taken / shall have no more TO
do with League baseball" He then hur-
ried from the room.
President Young announced at IL O'Clock
that the magnates would continue in ses-
sion for several hours, but that nothing
would be made public tonight.

CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 27.-Charles w.
Somers. of the Cleveland American League
baseball team. has made the following
statement in regard to the report that Pres
ident thinner, of the Players Protective
Association. has signed an agreement with
the National League:
IF Mr.. thinner has signed an agreement
for the Players Protective Association, as
is reported, he has done the protective as
ISOLATION a great injury. The National
League at it's December meeting turned
down Mr.. thinner and the protective as
ISOLATION cold. The American League, at
its Chicago meeting. granted all their re-
quests. which put their organization in a
position to demand reforms from the Ma
tional League. After having placed the
Players Protective Association in position
to demand these reforms from the National
League, l do not think that the spirit of
fairness which prevails in the Players AS
ISOLATION would allow them to acquiesce in
such an arrangement. which would be
manfestly so unfair to the player and
would not be effective.

AGUlNALDO NO MORE
WHAT CONSUL WILDMAN SAID In AN
INTERVIEW AT HONOLULU.
Gen. Sandico Posing as the Former
Filipino Leader - Wildman's
Last Official Report.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The last
statement made for publication by United
States Consul General Rounseville Wild
man. wno lost his life in the wreck of the
steamer Rio de Janelro. is printed in the
Honolulu Republican of Feb IA. The Re
publican says: when asked concerning the
situation in the Philippines Mr.. Wildman
said: Before answering your question let
me say these words in a PREDATORY way:
Our present administration has acted most
wisely in handling this matter. The Philip
pine question is practically at an end. If
forces can keep the insurgents under
control during the rainy season. and | be-
lieve they can, the matter will solve itself.
The insurgents are being cut off from ex-
ternal communication They find 1T harder
and harder to secure foodstuffs. They long
ago were prevented from securing any
thing in the way of firearms. They have
scarcely any powder. and in order to carry
their warfare fill their shells with the
heads of matches. The force generated by
the defamation of this material Is of suffi-
cient force to drive a ball through an inch
plank. AguinaldO, / believe, is dead There
Is considerable dispute as to this. but from
indica tions am inclined to believe that he
Is no more. General Sandico, the chief of
Aguinaldo's staff. Is trading In Aguinaldo
name and is in very unhappy plight 1t
insurgents to kill all foreign women and
children We have the proclamation in his
own handwriting. He is making threats
over Aguinaldo's name and seeking for
peace at the same time, declaring that IL
terms advantageous to the rebel foreign
protectorate were not made the war would
be renewed with much more severity.
" To prophesy the future of China Mr..
Wildman continued, is a most difficult
thing to do. but L may safely hazard this:
China will be divided into five different
kingdoms. China was originally five dis
tinct divisions, and to those it will again
revert; there is absolutely no sympathy be-
tween the northern and southern portions
of the F'lowery Kingdom. In the north a
Caucasian's life is never safe: in the south
he may travel anywhere with impunity.
