It would seem that the word peace

full to the interests concerned than an
actual state OF war 10 to the people OF q

the cause Of the dissepsion In that body,
the tour clubs named having stated their
intention OF refusing to sign the compact.
In the event that they stick TO their de-
cision tomorrow night the Cincinnati and
Pittsburg CLUBS viii abandon the Nation

League Of ten clubs. The cause of the
trouble in Brooklyn seems to lie in the
faot that Keller was awarded to the
American League club In New York and
Donavan was given to Detroit In the
American Association, two players that
Hanlon claims belong to Brooklyn.
This places the Brooklyn Club rather
In the position Of being the dog In the

the other clubs have granted.

President Ebbitts Eve are In perfeet

tee In everything except the allotment Of
our players. The National League COM
mittee has not the power to do any such
thing. We have not given them the
power to act for Brooklyn.
When the consent of the different
clubs was asked to accord the committee
absolute power, New York and brooklyn
were the only clubs which refused. we
held BY the first arrangement whereby
our committee was to report back to the
league Consequently the National
League committee did not have full

SUITS AGAINST RAILROADS.
Attorney General Grow Files Cases
Touching Reconsignment Question.

Jefferson City, Mo-, January 3.-Attor-
ney-General Crow filed in the Supreme
court here today four writs in equity,
one each against the Burlington, the Rock
Island, the Santa Fe and the Missouri
Pacific railroads. seeking to restrain them
from forcing the 're-consignment charge"
on grain delivered by any of the roads
named for storage in Kansas City or ship
ment out of that city on line other than
these four lines. The railroads are
charged with Illegally making a recon
signment charge of 81 a car; of rebating
and refunding the charge TO persons who
ship out of Kansas City or who ship a
like amount of grain or grain products
over any of the four lines, and 'in Great
ing and maintaining at Kansas City a
monopoly and discrimination against the
locality of Kansas City and against per-
sons. firms and corporations who ship
grain or grain products into Kansas City
over said four railroads, but do not re-
ship out of Kansas City an amount of
grain or grain products corresponding to
the amount thereof shipped into Kansas
City over some one OF said four rail-
road lines"
The filing of the petition. Is the first step
In the courts taken for relief against the
order for reconsignment charges made In
July last and fought by the Commercial
club and the Board of Trade in Kansas
City.
A similar suit against the Frisco system
in behalf of ST. Louis, has also been filed
in the Supreme court.
