BASE BILL NEWS.
New York and Cincinnati May
 Get Into American League.

Such a Report Comes From Cincinnati
 National League Will Then be Re
 organized -Spalding Will Have
 Then Accomplished His Desire
 Pipe Dreams Still Coming From
 Bristol-Other Ball News.
 New York, March IA dispatch re- ceived from Indianapolis last night to the effect that John T. Brush, in q con- versation over the long distance phone with Ban Johnson, president of tue American league, virtually closed q deal by which the Cincinnati club Will desert the National league ill the event of a break in the latter circuit The dispatch also says that Brush, when asked if the deal had been made, de- clined to talk. This is in line with the story to the effect that Brush had made a proposition to Johnson Dy which the American league could ln- crease it's circuit to ten clubs by the addition of New York and Cincinnati, the substitution of Pittsburg for Clevn- land and deals in Boston and St Louis by which Soden and Robison, respec- lively, would be protected. As John- son is opposed to a ten club circuit. It is possible that Brush has made an- other proposition by which Cincinnati could buy the Cleveland franchise, and New York supplant either Baltimore or Washington, the American still re- maining an eight-club organization. Johnson has just completed his sched- ule, which shows no change in the American circuit But schedules are easily drawn up and provisions could be readily made for any changes that might be deemed advisable at the in- stance of Brush It was at the league meeting here last December that Freed man, according to the minutes, admit ted that the American league was run in a more businesS-lixe manner thau the National and that he had certain amount of admiration for Johnson & Co. This opinion appears to be held now by National league men, with the exception of G. H. Ebbets and John l. Rogers. As Brush and Freedman are known to be anxious to eliminate these men from base ball. it may be possible that the BruSh-J Johnson scheme will do the trick. That Brush and Freedman do not want to continue i'll the Nation al league another season seems now to be foregone conclusion. If New York and Cincinnati jump to the Amer ican league A. c. Spalding's threat to drive Freeman and Brush out of the National league will have been made good. Then there will be plain sailing for those who wish to place new Ma tional league club in this city, Tn fact Spalding's reorganization plan will go through without a hitch. If Johnson turns Freedman and Brush down and there is a truce between the warning factions in the National league, it can be said now that the clubs which have been standing by Spalding will be con- pelled to accept the terms of Freed- man and Brush without q murmur This means that they will have to swallow the trust in it's entirety, for the promoters of it have no idea oa throwing it aside.

by brief statements that the resolution was not quite satisfactory to them. The resolution was adopted by vote of 54 to 12.
 When MT. Tillman's name was call ed, he added new sensation to the proceedings by rising and saying with ill concealed emotion, Among gentle men an apology for an offense com mitted under heat of blood is usually considered sufficient"
 The auditors caught their breath as Mr. Tillman thus entered his protest against the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Tillman's words induced MT. Kean (N. J.) to rise at the conclusion of the roll and say, Having heard the senator from South Carolina again in- suit the senate, change my vote from aye to mo-"
 At the request of NIT. Burrows the statement of MT. Tillman was read by the clerk.
 Instantly the South Carolina senator disclaimed any intention of being of fensive to the senate and said that if they were so considered he would with draw them
 The chair (Ir. Frye) said that by unanimous consent they might be with drawn, but MT. Dietrich (Neb.) object ed. The incident was closed without further comment.

Repudiated by Governor Mcsweeney

Repudiated by Governor McSweeney.
 COLUMBIA, s. G., March 1.-Gov- ernor McSweeney has taken hand in the Tillman affair and yesterday sent to President Roosevelt this telegram:
 Tt was not my intention to have any thing to say about the telegram sent you by the Hon. James, H. Tillman, withdrawing the request for you to present the sword to Captain Micah Jenkins, but as undue importance and publicity have been attached to it I wish to say that the telegram sent you was not authorized. by the state and that the lieutenant governor did not speak officially for the state or the peo- pie in his action. His telegram to you was purely personal matter, and neither the state. nor the people should be held responsible in any way for his attitude" aa
 None of the contributors to the sword fund has yet said that he requested or authorized the telegram of Lieutenant Governor Tillman.

South Carolina Senators Sharply Re-
 buked For Conduct

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Senators McLaurin and Tillman of South Caro- lima were severely censured by the United States senate for the sensation al personal encounter between the two senators on the floor of the senate last Saturday during the consideration of the Philippine tariff bill. The adoption of the resolution of censure probably closes the incident so far as MT. Me Laurin is concerned.
 Immediately after the senate conyen- ed Mir. Burrows chairman of the com mittee on privileges and elections, to which the McLaurin-Tillman contro- versy had been referred, reported the resolution of censure framed by ma iority of the committee.
 Practically there was no debate on the resolution, although MT. Gallinger and MT. Platt (Conn.) made it evident
