BASEBALL FREEZES.
President spaldlng Just as Confident
 as Ever

New York, Dec 1S.-The Spalding- Freedman case, to determine the le- gality of the formers election to the presidency of the National league, will be argued before Justice Scott in Part of the supreme court tomorrow Both factions are eager for an early decision. Anticipating such a ruling, Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- can league, will probably be in town on Friday or Saturday, prepared to take quick action. It is believed that the whole reorganization plan as en- gineered by Spalding was settled on Sunday last, just before Spalding an- nounced that Freedman would be out of baseball at 4:30 o'clock Monday af- ternoon. Those who are in touch with the situation say that certain pa pers were drawn up, signed and sealed, by which it became possible for the American league to gain a solid foot hold in New York city. For that matter a man who says he knows said yesterday that new ball club has been organized to represent this city and that it will be incorporated at Al bany the first week in January; that grounds have been leased for a term of years, and that Edward HanlOn. the Brooklyn manager, has been engaged as president to have entire charge of affairs. The new club will have un- limited financial backing and will be owned by representative New Workers, men who do not go into baseball solely as business venture.
 The location of the grounds will be kept a secret for the present, but it can be said that they will be accessible and completely equipped. Several months ago it was published that the American league would have a club here. in which Timothy D. Sullivan and Frank Farrell would have an in- terest. Whether Sullivan and Far rell will have piece of this new con cern remains to be seen but the fact remains that the men who have form ed it do not need political backing nov in view of the change in the mu- nicipal administration.

House Discusses the Islands and Their
 Revenues.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-The bill te provide temporary revenues for the Philippine Islands was debated in the se@yesterday and will be voted on today at 4 o'clock. It was the first debate of the session and was conduct cd calmly and without display of tenn per. Several lively exchanges and an impassioned speech by MT. De Armond (Mo), who has just returned from trip to- the Philippines, i'll opposition to the retention of the isfands were the features
 MT. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, opened the debate. Owing to the indisposition of MT. Richardson the duty of opening for the minority devolved upon Mr. Swanson (ya.). The other speakers were MT. Grosvenor (Rep., O. and MT. Robertson tDem., La), for the bill, and Messrs. Shafroth (Silver, Colo.), De Armond Oem., Mol, Thayer (Dem., Mass.) and Patterson Oem., Tenn.), against it. MT. Robert son said he would support the bill be- cause free trade with the islands and reciprocity with Cuba, which was. terest of his state. Today MT. Mccall, a Republican member of the ways and means committee, from Massachusetts, will oppose the bill, time having been granted him by the Democrats.
 Representative Wheeler of Kentucky, a member of the house committee on naval affairs, introduced a resolution for an investigation of the Schley case. The resolution recites the results of the recent court of inquiry and adds:
 Whereas, Admiral George Dewey, recognized as the foremost naval off cer of the republic, entirely disagrees and dissents from the opinion of his colleagues on said board of inquiry; and,
 Whereas, the American people de- sire that the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley should be investigated and pass ed upon by citizens of the republic in no wise connected or identified with the navy department; therefore be it
 Resolved, That the committee on naval affairs of the house of represent atives be directed to inquire into the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley from the time he assu- led control of the fly ing squadron up to. and including the engagement with the Spanish fleet off the coast of Cuba
 Representative Schirm of Maryland introduced resolutions which it is said to considerable extent represent the views of the Maryland delegation in congress. After reciting the opinion of Admiral Dewey in the recent court of inquiry the resolutions recite as fol lows:

BRISTOL STILL WEEPING.
Her Newspaper Writers Will Not Give
 Secretary O'Rourke Any Peace.

Secretary O'Rourke Any Peace.
 Certainly some one in Bristol is put ting up a big bluff. or, like President Spalding of the National league. that someone has something up his sleeve. Unlike Spalding, however, there does not seem to be anything to go up the Bristol sleeve. Spalding has the goods while Bristol has only the experience. Bristol is receiving good backing from about all the Hartford papers and from Tom Reilly in Meriden. Perhaps the reason Hartford has fallen so deeply in love with Bristol Is because she thinks she owes Bristol a whipping and she might be able to give it to her next season. It looks very much as though Hartford was batting Bristol on the back just to be contrary, be- cause she was forced to swallow all the nasty talk she used against .'Rube" base ball herself. Hartford first kicked because the franchise was given to an outsider. She was pacifed on that point and then, to show her apprecia- tion, she voted against Bristol Now she wants to dance on both sides and she tells Bristol how sorry she is that she did it.
 Tom Reilly, of course, is kicking for personal reasons. Bristol was a good paying town for him, but for no other team in the league. We would be glad to see Bristol i'll the league if we had not done better, and even though Hart ford and Meriden are making q kick, they know, if they want to be honest in the matter, that the league has made the best move. This talk of dropping Waterbury and taking in Bristol, which seems to have had it's birth in Hartford and Bristol. is all rot. Waterbury is one of the best sporting towns in the state of COnnec- ticut when her people are given the real article. They are willing to pay for good goods, but they cannot be buncoed nor gold bricked. No one planes Bristol nor her managers for feeling sore and for making big kick. But what is the use of keeping up the talk? Hartford. Meriden and Bristol say that there will be another league meeting called this week. Secretary O'Rourke says there will not be an other meeting this week. In this he seems to be backed up by New Haven, New London, Norwich, Bridgeport and Waterbury. There seems to be no chance to undo the action taken at the last meeting and all this talk about lawsuits and injunctions and legal fights of other kinds have made about every team in the league very tired Bristol says there will be no state league if she is not a member of it, and that is enough to make even the warmest adherent of base ball in Bris- tol smile. The inevitable had to come and Bristol and Derby must have ex- pected it long ago. Bristol should be pleased that she was allowed to re- main in the league as long as she did, while Derby ought to be satisfied to know that she is living.
