MR.. ZfMMER EXPLAINS
HIS SUSPENSION OF PLAYERS ONLY
~ TEMPORARY.
The Association Must Act on All Cases
to Make. Action
IS2 {
IL tc Final,
70 Final.

CLEVELAND, Ohio March Gas the
result Olga conference here today between
II. l.. Taylor. attorney for the Players
PROTECTIVE Association and Charles Zim-
mer, president of that organization, a
jointly signed statement was given out
bearing on the present base ball contro-
yersy. .se- 49,
After reviewing the formation of the
players association and it's objects, the
statement continues:
After a conference with the league COM
mlttee lasting over six hours that COM
mittee refused to grant any concessions I'M
less Mr. thinner would agree to punish all
members who jumped the national league
or eastern league renewal clause and sign
ed with the American league.
This, Mr.. thinner stated, he had no au-
tnor1ty to do. After consulting with the
other players and with his attorney by
wire he agreed in writing to suspend any
with the American. League for the COM
ing season pending final action by the Pro-
tectVe Association as a body.
The magnates who undoubtedly can
read and understand English, were salts
hed with this and granted all the players
demands 1t is our desire to make it
pain that Mr.. thinner thereby bound him
self every time he received actual knowl-
edge that National or Eastern League
man had signed with the American League
simply and solely to temporarily suspend
that man from the protective association
until the association could act as body.
. by no Interpretation Of English can it
De claimed that he agreed to do anything
more, or that he bound the associa tion-in
letter or spiTjt-either to continue or re-
move such suspensions. The association is
left free to act just as it sees fit on every

ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Statement That Alley in Block 80 L.
Filled With Rubbish.


The Commissioners were recently IN
formed that the alley in block 80 OF Co.
lumbia Heights, near the corner of 18th
and kenesaw streets, was being filled with
ashes, cans and all sort of rubbish. 1t is
stated that the alley in question is but
the beginning Of a public alley. and is in
accessible at present except over private
property. The health officer reporting on
the matter says:
1.-THE health department has been unable
to secure Information as to the names and
addresses of the party or parties who have
placed refuse matter on the alley referred
to, and is therefore unable to proceed
against anyone for having created the nui-
sance. The nuisance exists on property
owned by the District. If it were land
owned by citizen he would be compelled
to abate 1t, and by analogy the District
should do likewise. 1t may be that this
can be effected through the street clean
ing Office. and 1 suggest a reference to it.
THE force at the disposal of the health
department is too small to permit 1t to keep
this piece of land under such observance as
is necessary to discover who creates the
nuisance so as to prevent its recurrence
after abatement Such work can be better
done by the police department, whose off,
GERS are constantly patrolling in the vicin-
ity. II, however, 1t is accessible only over
private ground, 1t is questionable whether
they can accomplish anything. Practically
the District will have to repeatedly remove
rubbish from this land or fence it."

RUSSIA TO MAKE CORKS.
How the Government VIII Meet q
"COmbine" of Manufacturers.

How the Government VIII Meet q
"COmbine" of Manufacturers.
AS a result Of an attempt made by the
manufacturers of corks in Russia to form
a trust against the government in order to
compel it to pay exorbitant prices it has
been determined by the excise department
of the ministry Of finance, which has
charge Of the alcohol monopoly, and which
has been experiencing considerable trouble
Of late with the manufacturers, to estab-
lish a cork factory under the immediate
supervision Of the government. Tests on a
small scale and under unfavorable circum-
stances have proved quite satisfactory.
Six billions of corks are estimated as
the year consumption by the excise
department; the government intends for
the present to produce two billions.
The step taken by the government to
manufacture its own corks seems, says
Deputy Consul General Heydecker at st.
Petersburg in report to the State Depart
ment, to make 1t a most opportune time
for the manufacturers Of corks in the
United States, where the largest factories
of the world are situated, to introduce i'm
proved machinery and American expert
ence and ingenuity in Russia for the pro-
duction Of the commodity.

OUTPUT OF PRECIOUS STONES.
Report of Special Agent Kunz for the
Year 1900.

The report of the United States geological
survey on the production of precious stones,
as prepared by Mr.. George F. Kunz, spe-
cia1 agent in charge of that investigation
for the division of mining and mineral re-
sources, shows that the leading features of
that industry during 1900 were the con-
tinued mining and the output of the fine
blue sapphires in Fergus county and the
development of the fancy-colored sappnires
in Granite county. Mont; the systematic
working of the beryl deposits in Mitchell
county; the increased output of the tur
quoise from Grant and Santa Fe counties,
New Mexico, and Lincoln county, New, and
the great sale of the turquoise cut with the
rock under the name of turquoise matriX,'
from all the localities: the mining IF the
purple pink garnets in Macon county, North
Carolina; the discovery of colored tourIna-
lines at a new locality in California, and the
further increase in the price of diamonds.
The popularity and demand for pearls, en-
eralds and rubies continue.
The table of production shows that the to-
tai value of the output of precious stones in
the United States for 1890 is 1922 210, as
compared with $1S5, no in 1899. gain of
SAG, 40. or % per cent. The stones of great
est value produced in the United States
were: Turquoise, So, 600; sapphire, S75, GOO;
rhodolite, $4,000; beryl, $1,000; quartz
crystal, $4,000; while the value of dia-
monds produced in the United States in the
year under review was only $50.

Negotiations Regarding Another
Treaty With England

Nothing has yet been heard from the
British government touching the amend
ments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. In view
Of the fact that even il new treaty were
created TO take the place of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty 1t could not be ratified
and become effective much before the end
Of the present year, owing to the absence Of
Congress, 1t is now suggested that there
need be no particular hurry about begin
ming these negotiations As Lord Paunce-
fote. tho British ambassador, Is soon to

possible that nothing will be undertaken
toward the framing OF q new treaty before
his return to Washington from that trip.

POOR TIMES FOR DEsPoTs.

ency of the Age.
CAMDEN, n. j., March 9.-The annual
address Of Bishop Mallalieu occupied the
greater portion Of .todays session Of the
sixty-fifth annual conference of. the New
Jersey Methodist Church. The bishop dep
reeated, combinations OF capital, Denounced
sensational newspapers and condemned GER
tain classes of books. He said, in part:
THE new century has the backing Of a
century that has revolutionized the whole
civilized world. There is, fortunately a
tendency In these times toward equality.
These are poor times for despotism, for this
nation stands first of all for equality. The
new century is for the common people.
That Is to say, We don't want any of
the 400 class to predominant. We don't
want any classes. l do. not want a class
of people to come to New Jersey and get
a charter that will squeeze all other peo-
pie. We can't afford such a condition of
affairs, and We will not stand by and wit
ness it."
Bishop Mallalieu arraigned the newspa-
pers and cautioned the ministers of the con-
ference against reading them, except for
the purpose of keeping abreast Of the cur
rent news of the world. The bishop de-
clared that such books as "Quo Vadis" and
David Harum are unfit to be read The
one, he said, was improper and the other
was a detailed account of a mean trick
played on parson in horse dealing

CUT IN COTTON GOODS.
Mill Circles at Fall River Gloomy
ever Outlook.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 9.-The de-
moralized condition of the cotton goods
market continues to cause uneasiness in
mill circles, and the gloomy feeling was
intensified today when 1t was announced
that $4,000 pieces of regular goods for
March delivery had been sold by the SELL
ing committee of the Fall River Manufac-
tturers Association at rs cents. 1t is
stated, however, that the regular price is
still B cents fat the temporary reduction
having been made to meet competition fore
ed by southern concern and Rhode
Island company. The transaction, however,
has given new impetus to movement to
bring about a reduction in wages and a
curtailment in production, which had been
partly checked by strong influence to
prevent such a step.

GUNNER MORGAN INELIGIBLE.
His Age Will Prevent His Promotion
Next Summer

1t appears after all that Gunner Charles
Morgan is ineligible for promotion to the
grade of ensign in the navy. The section
of the appropriation bill providing for the
promotion of warrant officers provides that
such appointments shall date from July 80,
and by that time next summer Gunner
Morgan will have passed the specified age
limit of thirty-five years, and thus he is
not in line for advancement of this sort.
The law provides also that no person shall
be thus promoted unless recommended by
a commanding officer under whom he has
served. and in that connection it is men
toned as a regrettable fact that Admiral
Sampson should have disastrously express
ed himself In regard to such promotions,
when the immediate subject of his dis
course was actually ineligible for the ad-
yancement in point.
