IL May be Decided by the Committee
ON Elections.

The contest between Senator Ryan. Of
Fort Wayne, and Senator Fleming. Of the
same district. will, in all probability. be de-
ci6ed by the Senate committee on elections.
When the Senate convened yesterday morn
ing Senator Fleming was not present, and
Senator Ryan, who occupied his old seat.
arose and move that the contest be car
ried over, saying that Fleming had not been
duly elected. Senator Brooks seconded the
motion and IL carried.
The contest is a pretty badly mixed up
affair and is likely to be a hard problem
for the on elections to solve.
Ryan and Fleming are both Democrats,
and each maintains hat he is the rightlai
representative from his district. Ryan was
sworn in as a senator from Allen and
Adams counties two years ago for a term
of four years, and his attorneys have
advised him that, as that fact appears on
the journal of the Senate, TO take his. seat
and stay there until he is ousted. The
situation forces Fleming TO become the con-
~testant, and Ryan will draw salary until
he is ousted. When the roll of the Senate
was called in the morning the name OF
Ryan was omitted from the roll, Fleming
appearing on the call in it's place. Under
the circumstances Ryan's name will be
written on the roll and called regularly
until the contest mas been decided.

BALL WAR IN EARNEST
BAN JOHNSON DETERMINED To
FIGHT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Latter Is Also Prepared for Battle,
and to Make IL Warm
for the American League.

CHICAGO. Jan. l0.-The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say: The conflict between
the American and National baseball leagues
is on in earnest. Sensational developments
yesterday helped to hasten the actual break
between the two organizations and, judging
from the talk in the two camps, it is a fight
to the finish. Chicago will be the battle
ground and there is every prospect that the
differences between the rival organizations
will have to be settled in court. A dispatch
from the East. In which President Soden, of
the Boston Club, asserted that the Amer
lean League would forfeit 5000 in case q
single game was played in Chicago out
side of the national agreement. brought the
question to an issue. President Hart, Oh
the local club, admitted that a contract had
been signed with the American League
along the lines suggested in the interview
with Soden. President johnson, or the
American League. corroborated the story,
and then added that the contract was not
worth the paper 1t was written on.
President Hart was appraised of Johnson's
on the contract, and then made
a few remarks himself. IT am surprised
that Johnson should say anything like
