May he Decided.

CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-The internationa
meeting Of the American league held here
today was made a special meeting and 1t
was decided to hold the annual meeting in
New York some time during January.
The principal business transacted was
the appointment OF a commission to meet
the National league at Cincinnati on jan
uary 8 to confer on peace terms between
the two base ball organizations. The ques-
ton was quickly disposed of, however, by
the adoption Of a resolution giving the
president absolute power to appoint his
own committee or be the sole representa-
tive Of the league at the Joint meeting
with full power to act. He then appointed
himself, Charles Comiskey OF Chicago.
Henry Killilea of Boston and Charles
somers Of Cleveland as a committee.
No action was taken in regard to placing
a team in Pittsburg.
c. J. Heder and f.. F.. Eagle, represent
ing the Pittsburg syndicate, attended the
meeting to present their claims. Mr..
Somers Of Cleveland, who acted as sponsor
for Pedder and Eagle, presented the offer
Of the Pittsburgers who were after the
club. This proposition included the sale Of
the Detroit franchise. S. M. Angus, presi-
dent Of the Detroit club, however, refused
10 part with MS CLUB, at least unless he
could recover what he had spent On 1t, and
no offers made up to the present would
cover what he asked.
81 have my price," said Mr.. Angus, but
l figure that it will have to be at least
5000 to cover my expenses since / took
hold of the club. II l can get 500, 900 1
might consider it, but so far that is much
more than / have been offered"
When seen after the meeting Pedder and
Eagle said they were not discouraged and
were still confident that an American
league team would be seen in Pittsburg
next year.
The report that Tom Lotus of Washing
ton was to go to New York to have charge
Of the American league team was denied by
the president Of the Washington club.
The meeting, which adjourned at 4
o'clock, was the shortest in the history OF
the American league, lasting but six
hours.
Those present were: ]. G. Mcnamara
and s.. f. Angus, Detroit; Fred Postal and
Tom LOTUS, Washington; Connie Mack.
Frank Hough and Ben Shibe, Philadelphia

Ordinance Considered worthless.
Mayor Koutsky said last night to a Bee
reporter that he considered the present
stock Inspector ordinance worthless. A
look over the ordinance book by the city
attorney shows that none Of the stock in
spection ordinances had been legally
passed. Many amendments have been made,
the mayor says, to the original ordinance,
and his legal advisers assert that the or
dlnance from start to finish is not legal.
Under the circumstances the mayor says
that he has no authority to appoint a stock
Inspector.
IF the people of South Omaha want a
stock inspector" said the mayor last night,
at will be necessary for the council TO
pass an ordinance which will hold. It is
up to the council and the people. II a
stock inspector for the city is necessary 1t
is the duty Of the counc to pass the nee
essary ordinance, and then I am perfectly
willing to make an appointment"

Needs A Remedy.

Rural free delivery is in many respects an
admirable and satisfactory institution and it
has come to stay, but there are some things
that need amending before it becomes entire
ly satisfactory, not TO say perfect
We can best explain one of Its manifest
weaknesses by an illustration. The carriers
do not go out on legal holidays; let US sup
pose that such legal holiday falls on Saturday
AM that we are considering the postal re
quirements of some considerable business in
terest like Catoctin Furnace; no mail will be
delivered there from Friday a. m, until Mon.
day a. NJ, three full days, nor any sent out
from Friday p. m, until Monday p. IN.
The railway service is not discontinued,
nor are the postofiices closed at the central
distributing points, hence the Withholding OF
mail facilities on the R. F. d. routes, as
above indicated possible, demands remedy,
it being seriously harmful deprivation.

The grand jury for Talbot county has the
following paragraph in its report: 1.-THE
work of the grand jury would be more SIM
plified, and its 81 ssion shortened, If the FORE
man was named, and the jury drawn at the
February and July terms. The foreman
should then be instructed to discover and APP
point the members best qualified to act as
clerks aud before the ensuing jury terms, the
foreman and clerks should meet at the office
of the clerk of the court for special and cler'
ical instructions from the clerk and states
attorney in reference to the dOckets which
will be placed in their charge. Under the
present system tho grand jury is drawn few
minutes only before going to work, and the
foreman finds himself unacquainted with
perhaps two thirds of the members. We,
therefore, recommend that the law govern
ing the selection of jures in Talbo, county
be amended in accordance with The above
suggestion, at the next session of the legis'
islature."- Cheste,town Enterprise.
