MINOR LEAGUES BALK.
Many Of the Representatives Here TO
Consider New Agreement. 4

Consider New Agreement. 4
New York, Aug 31.-The National
Association of Professional Baseball
clubs, otherwise the minor leagues, IS
not at all satisfied with the new Ma
tional agreement, drawn up in Buffalo,
and yesterday at meeting here the
minor league magnates discussed the
situation earnestly for several hours.
The main agreement was gone over
section by section, and 1t is said the
chief objection is that the minor
leagues have no representation on the
National board, consisting of President
johnson of the American league, Pres1-
dent Pulliam of the National league
and August Hermann of Cincinnati.
The minor league men concede the
fairness and ability of Mr. Hermann.
the chairman of the board, but as the
board is to decide disputes between the
major and minor leagues, the latter
hold that such a large and representa-
tive organization as theirs should be
represented on the national board
The drafting measure and the method
of paying for minor league players are
other things that do not suit the Ma
tional association. The new agreement
provides for a longer period for draft
ing than did the old one and also pro-
vides that purchased players be paid
for in installments instead of all at
once as formerly. It is expected that
the meeting will continue for a day
or SO, and there was talk yesterday
that the minor leagues might refuse
to accept the agreement if their re-
quests are not granted. The following
were present at yesterdays meeting
President Powers of the National as

the Western league; T. ]. Hickey, pres

AT 1890 o'clock last night it was an.
nounced that the minor league men had
made up their minds they could not &C
cept the agreement as 1T nows reads.
1t is their intention to modify the
agreement and present It to the big
leagues for their consideration.

M DEPTH OF THE OCEAN.
Fate of Diver Who Would Descend Ten
Thousand Feet.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The idea that has prevailed up to very
recent date that organic life does not exist
at great depths in the ocean has been ex'
ploded by late scientific investigation. As
a matter of fact, the pressure Of water is so
great that ordinary articles of wood are
compressed to half their original size if
lowered to depth of 5000 feet. If
human being were suddenly exposed to
the pressure Of water at that depth he
would be compressed to the thinness of
paper A diver at the depth of 10000
feet would have a weight upon him equal
to several hundreds of the greatest and
heaviest locomotives. There are depress'
ions very much deeper, however, and
soundings have been made establishing
depths of more than 1000 feet near the
island of st. Thomas, in the Atlantic, and
of almost 81 900 near the Japanese coast

est depth TO the surface. In the forests
there is life more diversified than in the
primeval forests of the tropics. Spiders
and worm.lke animals OF enormous size,
infusoriae, crabs, sea urchins, shell crus'
taceans, starfsh, turtle aud millions OF
other living things of all kinds find their
food in the equally varied plant life Of the
deep sea.
Deep sea fish have been brought up in
the deep sea dragnet invented by Prince
Albert of Monaco. A curious circumstance
connected with the deep sea fish is that
none Of these have ever been brought up
alive. Recent teep sea explorations re-
veal the fact that the ocean still contains
lmmeasurable treasures which await de
velopment and utilization by human In
vention. The most fertile acre OF cult
waited land is a sterile desert compared
with one acre of the deep sea bottom.

movement as that which was executed in
perfectlng the spy detectives scheme for
the "Fulton Riot" without consulting his
ommander.in.chiei? Perhaps Col. An
derson desired to burst into distinction as
4 military hero; and, therefore, did not
confde his plans to the Governor. Per-
haps he imagined there was chance for
him to 90 down in history as rival of the
heroes who charged with "The Light
Brigade" at Balaklavs, with Pickett's
Brigade at Gettysburg, or with the "Stone'
wall Brigade at the "Bloody Angle" at
Spottsylvania.
But to return to the serious considera'
ton of the matter, a stain has been placed
on the bright military escutcheon of Vr-
gnia. What was proclaimed at the time
as the most brilliant achievement of our
citizen soldiers, who had been modified
at Richmond to protect life and property,
has, by analysis, been shown to be dis
graceful scheme to entice poor working
men into the commission of violent law
less acts; that the leading spirit was q
common spy In the employ of the Pas
senger and Power Company, and that he
committed a felony to lure his victims on.
The affair is more in keeping with the
work of a cheap detective who pursues
common criminals in the slums of our
cities than with the conduct of brave
citizen soldier 1t is transaction which
would grace the pages ola vulgar detective
story rather than page of the military
archives of Virginia.
If the volunteer militia of the Common.
wealth is to be prostituted for such un'
worthy purposes, the sooner it dlsbaAds
