As another result of the secret meet ing of the National league magnates last week, they have begun strenuous efforts to sign their players. Robison of St Louis held a confab with two of his men, Pat Donovan and Jesse Bur kett, yesterday. He offered the man. agement of the St Louis club to Don ovan together with high-salaried contract, and also rendered an increase of salary to Burkett. Both players, respecting their pledge to the Protec- tive association, refused to do any business.
 T told MT Robison.' said Donovan, 'that it was for his interests as well as my own for me to refuse. to sign at this time. 1 am q member of the Protective association and have agreed to hold off until the league has granted some of our demands. Should 1 sign a contract now and break my pledge l would lose the respect of the very players who Y eald be under my man. agement In St Louis next year. So I refuSed.'

 Called During the Game-Rumors
 About the New Britain Team-In- / teresting Notes About Polo.
 The game of polo at the rink last night was dead slow. so the majority of people who were present said on their way from the building after the game was over. ''New Haven was too dead easy.'' was another remark that was heard on all sides coming from the same place. and it was so, too. There was but one really re- markable feature in the whole game and that was the goal tending of Chat field of Waterbury. New Haven came to Waterbury minus the services of Whipple and Hausman. the reserve man. It was expected that Whipple would arrive on the 9 o'clock train, but he failed to make good and consequent ly Lations had to play at halfback and Chatfeld was pressed into service to play in the goal circle. Lations could have done no better work than this same Chatfield stopping of apparent goals. Neither team seemed to show any aggressiveness and the only time that any apparent life was put in the game was when Bone would carry the ball down the rink and try for goal. The local players knew that they had cinch and they took things easy. It was not rough game. and the only foul was one called on Lations for holding one of the locals on the floor. The score and summary:

 Bristol, R. l.. Jan 1I.-It has been learned that the HerreShoffS will try the plan of bending all the frames and getting all the material ready, such as deck beams, braces. stringers, etc, be- fore commencing the work of cOnstruc ton. They have q twofold object in this. Just so long as the setting up of the frames can be delayed just so long can the lines of the boat be kept q secret from the public in general and the rival boat builders in particu- lar.
 It is we'll understood by the Herre- shoff employees that nothing must be said by them regarding any work going on in the yards under penalty of dis charge, and several examples of the enforcement of this rule have been given. The designer, however, under stands that after the frames begin to go up secrecy in regard to the model is well night impossible. The second object in having all the material ready before beginning the work of construc- tion is to obviate all chance of delay during the setting-up process, so that the large gang of men may be kept busy constantly. If necessary, the work of construction can be carried on night and day, and with all the material ready the new aspirant for the blue ribbon of the seas can be built in fast time. ..-. The Herreshoffs lost the services of 1 a valuable man yesterday when Frank Spaulding, Respondent over i'll health, | shot himself in the right temple with | a 32-calibre revolver. Spaulding was l one of the best copper workers and 1 plumbers in the country and had been employed by the Herreshoffs many years He had done the work in his 1 line on all the fast yachts built here. | Spaulding was conscious after the 1 shooting and told his wife that ill l health prompted the rash act. He l was taken to the Rhode Island hos | pital, in Providence. There is little chance of his recovery.
 1 Deer Island, Me, Jan 17.-Captain | Rhodes of the new Herreshoff cup de- | fender, who came here several days | ago to select a crew for the new yacht has returned home without having ac- 1 complished his purpose. A heavy snow storm made it impossible for Captain Rhodes to make his way about the island. When leaving he said he expected to be back in a few days.

 sage. It's object is to procure money for making needed im- proveme n;s and to alter the manner of the expenditure of money on account of the prison so that at least the in- terest on the warrants may be saved. Such a saving would annually amount to large sum. The bill was met with proposition to lay it on the table. We do rot believe the mover desired the ultimate defeat of the measure. but. as he said. to study its provisions and he explained that his motion was made only because another had been made to suspend the rules and pass the bill to its second reading. Though the motion to table was passed 1t was quickly and easily reconsldrred and the bill took its regular course.
 This incident was construed by some to be the first outbreak of democratic unfrlendllness to whatever may be re- garded as an administration measure. We do not believe 1t was, for some democrats voted against the motion to table and earnestly protested against that dispL sltiOn of the bill Many uf them voted for reconsideraaic n.

A PROPOSAL BY WIRE.

Six months ago one did not know of the existence of the other. They met when she be- came one of party of Cuban girls to visit the United States. He was smit- ten with her charms and tho novelty of his proposal is fully equa!ed by her reply of acceptance. It Is the story in Cuba that on November 6. the day the constitutional convention met in Ha. vana. MT. Frye sent a telegram to Sen orita Maria Teresa Arruebarrena. which read: "I know that you are an anti-expansionist. but l wish very much to annex a small part of Cuba. What do you say?" The reply which was flashed back was as sparkling as the girls dark eyes. ''I cannot be an- nexed." she said. but I will be happy to accept a protectOrate." They are on their wedding tour now.
