~ National Leagne FIrht.

Tho annual meeting Of the National
,oag7,e Is over, and what will come out
- Il no one seems to know. One fac
t,on claims to have elected a president
md hack up their argument with good.
sound parliamentary ruling. while the
otbsr side laughs and declares the cleo
tiob Illegal. Hcw it will all come ouc
remaf1s a mystery to even those who
atteaded the meeting. One thing seems
Certain. the league must do sometime
h Il intends to continue In existence.
and it needs some one At its head who
Gan control the members so that a
rendition OF last weeks farce can
never see the light The four clubs
yyho have fought and elected Mr..
Shading believe they have such a per-
son now to lead them cut Of the viii
dernsss. Maybe they have. but until
the disruption among themselves
ceases the league can never hope to
again attain any place in the baseball
world. The owners of one Of the clubs
seem to be aghting among themselves
and it was this that caused a deadlock
in the voting. TIE magnates fought
among themselves like a lot Of old
women at a gossiping party, each do
ing his best to say the worst things he
could against the other. 1t is no won
der the meeting ended as it did, and
it IS a surprise that there is any por-
ton Of the league together at all.
Despite the legal complications exist
ing In New York, and the announce
ment By Andrew Freedman that he in
tends to remain in baseball, no matter
what It costs, James A. Hart. presi-
dent OF the Chicago National league
club, is more than satisfied with The
baseball outlook, and declares that the
National league undoubtedly will put
in a profitable and prosperous season
next year. Mr.. Hart bases this belief
on his confidence that A. G. spalding,
the new president of the National
league, viii succeed in carrying out his
new policy to the very letter. Hart
also believes that Freedman will not be
in baseball-or. at least. in the Ma
tional league-next year.

Jones, a native Of the arctic regions,
arrived in Chicago recently. Olive
came in a cage, and before the chris

muskox without title or name. The
arrival of Miss Jones was heraIded by
the boom Of cannon and a rousing re-

of the muskox family that ever
reached the United States alive.

Railroad Building in the United States.

The railway mileage of the United States has passed the POO, ,000mile mark The figures at the close of 1901 were approximately 199,525 miles, and the construction for the first SiXmOnthS of 1902 brings the total up to POI, ,S39 miles the track laid during the first half of this year on 155 lines aggregating 2 3l4 miles. This is nearly 300 miles in ex- cess of the new mileage for the first six months of 1901, when 1 ,S17 miles were built. The total for the twelve months last year was 5,223 miles, and if the same ratio is maintained by the construction for the year 1902 will ex- ceed 6,000 miles.
 Track laying thus far this year has been distributed throughout forty-one states and territories.
 While the new mileage is widely dis tributed, the greater portion of it is located in the southwest. The eight states and territories which are usu- ally chased as southwestern states, have built 1,l43 miles of new line, which is nearly half of the mileage for the entire country Railway Age.
