bah players until they have expired. Most all of the contracts were for two years and yet have a year to run.
 John T. Brush, president of the New York Nationals, when informed of the American leagues conditions, said:
 Have they given out their terms to the newspapers before meeting the Ma tional leagues committee? We'll, what's the use of going up to the Cri- terion at all? We will find out pret- ty lively what will be done, however, when the two committees get together. would like to say that I do not be- lieve that the American league has se- cured grounds in this city, no matter how strong Johnson may put it. I've been all over the island, and have in vestigated all available plots with the result that I shall be very much sur prised when I learn that what John son says is true"
 According to the American league men Brush has half a dozen players signed for the New York Nationals who come under the head of contract Jumpers and they must be banished before peace can be restored in the baseball world. Delehanty, who re gently signed with Brush, previously signed with the Washington American league club, and accepted $1 600 in ad- vance money. For this proceeding "DeP' IS a marked man, unless he lives up to his Washington contract. Brush. however, is for peace, good and strong, Tor he drew up the resolutions in the league meeting which called for yes terday's conference with Johnson & Co. Brush is also in favor of elect ing B. B. Talcott or John M. Ward to the presidency of the National leagl1e. alUhough nearly all of the other clubs have agreed upon Harry PuIliam. a saiarled official of the Pittsburg club and a former newspaper man.
 uhe National leaguers spent the en- tire day at the Victoria hotel behind closed doors. They really discussed the American league situation, but they sal" they did not, Instead, they in sisted that they were wrangling over the Manhattan field proposition. They want Brush to pay over to the league the , per cent deduction from the gate receipts at the Polo grounds during Che seasons of 1900 and 1901 in part payment for reducing the circlit flo eight clubs. They also insist that Brush shall hand over the football re ceipts at the Polo grounds for the past two years which should really be charged to the account of Manhattan field, for which the league has been paying $15,000 a year to the local club Just what Brush will do in this mat. ter remains to be seen. $
 Jack Warner was at the Victoria during the day and positively denied that he had signed with Brush's New Yorks. He says that he is under con- tract to the Boston Americans for next season but has asked c. W. Somers tc transfer him to the New York Ameri cans, as this city is his home. Base ball men are inclined to regard the schedule given out by the National league on Wednesday as a bluff and that there will be another in thes spring The magnates met again at noon to day and after they have heard from their peace committee they say they will proceed to elect officers.

Negro Colonization In Far vast.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--It is likely that the war department will take up the question of colonization in Hawaii sand the Philippines, and tentative ef- forts will be made to secure headway for an emigration movement for the ne- gro race. The agitation of late of the question of negro representation in public affairs in the south has suggest ed the consideration of the old idea of race colonization, and experimental en- coura agement will be given to such a
 movement if it appears. t+.+.

 New York, Dec 12.-The conference between committees representing the National and American leagues, look ing to a settlement of the baseball war. which was preached by the Ma tionaI leaguers on Wednesday,, was held at the Criterion hotel at il o'clock this morning, when Bancroft Byron Johnson, John F. Kilfoyle and Charles W. Somers, representing the Amerl- can league, met August Hermann, James A. Hart and Frank De Hass Robison of the old organization which, for the first time in twenty-five years, has hoisted signals of distress and Vlr- tuaIly admits that it has been beaten by the young league that sprung into existence only three years agN
 The American league men are now | in a position to dictate terms, and from what President Johnson said last night they will be short and sweet. The American league men will insist Ithat all contract jumpers who have accepted money and then desertedtheir clubs shall be blacklisted forever. This l is the first condition, and it is calcu- Hated ito strike at the root of an evil which, if allowed to grow, will under nP +I,o President Johnson on this point said emphatically: .- ''The contract jumper in baseball must go. I mean by this the player who after signing with one club and accepting money in advance turns around and does the same thing with some other club. Such a man should be sent to prison. The American league will never employ such a man in the future and the National league must get rid of aM their contract jump CTS before peace can be restored. In other words, contract jumpers must be banished from the sport The pub lie will never trust them and they will do the game harm if they are allowed 1 Co remain.' >s, -.3
 The second condition laid down by the American league will be that under no circumstance shall it's plans fol next years circuit be changed. Tn oth CT words, the American league must be allowed to establish it's new club in New York, and also another in Pitts. burg, possibly, else the war will go on The National leaguers want the Amer 1can league to consent to a twelve club league, combining clubs in PhiIa. deiphla, Boston, Chicago and St Louis and they will press their suit in this direction with great vigor But wher Johnson was asked about this he said

 New Britain, Dec 12.-Willie Fitz- gerald of Brooklyn, N. Y., was given the decision last night over Charley Seiger of Hoboken, N. J., in a twenty round bout before the National Athletic club at the Casino. Fitzgerald forced the fighting from the start. He made a direct attack on Seiger's nose. In the third round Seiger bled so much from the nose that both men were cov- cred. The same happened in the fourth and fifth rounds. Fitzgerald did some clever blocking in the sixth round. Honors were even in this round. Seiger all through the fight showed that he was tough and could stand considerable pounding. The fighting was good all the way through. In the seventeenth round the bell saved Seiger from being put out. He seemed very weak ill the eighteenth round. He came up fresher in the next round, but he could not force the fighting. The last round was all Fitzgerald's. Fitzgerald had no marks on him, but Seiger's nose and lips looked like a raw hamburg steak.
 The first preliminary was six rounds at catch weights between Barney the Jew and Tony Spose. both of New Britain. In the fourth round Spose took the count and the bell rang as he got up to fight. He was unable to re- spond in the fifth round and the bout was awarded to Barney"
 The second preliminary was between "Black Fitzsimmons'' of Hartford and Johnny Burns of New Britain. This bout was to be eight rounds. catch weights.

 Leander is the freshest man and he is the only one not cranky. Mac Farland and Maya had long talk to- gether early in the evening. They were said to be planning to get back the lap they lost. Keegan and Franz Krebs had a spill at 9:30. Krebs's wheel caught in Keegan's rear wheel. Neither man was hurt Floyd Krebs's machine buckled about five, minutes later and he went down, but was un- hurt. Leander, who was trying to get the first sleep he would have had in some time, was immediately taken out of bed and put on a wheel.
 Frank Kramer rode an unpaced half mile in 54 4-5 seconds and started the enthusiasm which led to Keegan catch ing the bunch mapping and taking a half lap lead. Peterson came out fresh and set the crowd wild by com pleting the gain for a lap. This put Keegan and Peterson even with Gal win and Root. <
 During the evening there was mile match race between Eddie Bald and Raoul Buisson, the French rider, who was compelled to retire from the race on account of the illness of his part her, Bruni. The race was run in half- mile heats, according to. the French style of riding. The men rode around the course slowly, looking at each other, and only speeded on the last lap. This style of riding was new to the audience, and the riders were hooted and hissed throughout. The time was not announced. ~r-s '
 Harry Bikes, the middle distance champion gave a two-mile exhibition, motor paced, which the audience en- joyed. The time for the two miles was BIS 2-5. This was followed by a quarter-mile exhibition, unpaced. by Iver Lawson. the 'sTerrible Swede.'' He covered the distance in 25A sec onds.
 Shortly before z o'clock yesterday morning there was a slight fire among some waste paper between the seats on the Twenty-seventh street side of the garden. The police quickly extin- guished the blaze, but not before some of the sleepy spectators who had heard the cry of s'Fire!' fell over each other in their endeayors to get out of the way. The fire started through the attempt of some one to play joke on sleeper. A lighted torch had been put in the mans hand and it dropped into some waste paper. There were about 2, 800 persons in the garden at the time and many of them rushed to the scene of the fire. There was much excitement. George Leander one of the racers, rode high on the bank and shouted: #., ..,.4
 keep your seats, it's only joke.
 The crowd then quieted down.
 Some person sent to Leander last night bottle of broma- seltZer that had seemingly been opened. I was confiscated by the head scorekeeper land the management of the race said an investigation would be made. Many of those connected with the race de clared that an attempt had been made to give Leander something that will lay him up for the finish of the race or knock him out of it altogether.

as the men came up for the fourth round, however. Gardner changed his tactics and began playing for his op ponent's stomach. He landed his blows without much difficulty and be- fore the end of the round he had Stift in trouble. The fifth round was d repetition of the fourth. Gardner tried hard to finish Stiff in the last round, but the time was too short and Stift escaped knockout.
 Billy Madden believes in having his men tight as often as possible and to this end is always looking for matches for his two big fellows, Gus Ruhlin and Denver Ed Martin. Upon his return from Philadelphia yesterday Madden filed a challenge on behalf of Ruhlin to box Bob Fitzsimmons and for Martin to mSet Jim Jeffries or Jim Corbett. In a talk Madden said: Both Ruhlin and Martin are anxious to fight and are not looking for free advertising. Ruhlin is ready to go against Fitzsimmons in bout limited from six to twenty rounds. While in Philadelphia I had a talk with several of the clubs matchmakers. The Penn Art club is willing to donate purse of $2,500 if Fitz will box Ruhlin six rounds and a purse of $3,000 if Jeffries will go on with Martin or Ruhlin for a similar distance. Or if this is not satisfactory, we will agree to go to San Francisco, England, Asia or any part of the globe, provided we get the money for our services. Some time ago Fitzsimmons made statement that he was ready to box anyone in the world, that he had not quit the f1stfc arena. We'll, if he is not talking through his hat let him come to time now"
