OPPOSES LABOR UNIONS.
Methodists of America Also Against
 Social Equality of Negroes.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 26.-The gem eral conference of the Weslyan Metho- dist Church of America, in session here passed resolutions to-day stating that the church was not in favor of labor unions. because they were secret socie- ties. The resolutions also state that the church is against the use of the boycott and the calling out of men by unions when they are working on con tract.
 The church took a more definite stand on the matter of admission of the me- gro to the church by reforming the old discipline. saying that he shall not be barred from merbership. and adding a note to the effect that this shall not be construed to mean social equality.

RATE IS roo HIGH.

The rate that has been established for press matter over the United States cable is ridiculously high. There is no apparent reason why the United States cannot afford to be as generous to the newspapers in Alaska as the Canadian government has been Co those in the Yukon, yet the Canadian government transmits news matter for the Dawson papers over the long and expensive land wire from Ashcroft to Dawson for cent word. while the American government proposes to charge the pa pers of Skasway cents, day rate, and 9 cents. night rate, for news matter from Sitka The day press rate from Juneau to Skagway is double that over the full length of the Canadian wire, and the night rate is as large. But this is not an. It Is said that the day press rate to Cape Flattery over the cable will be l2 cents 8 word, and the night rate 6 6cents. The rate to Seattle will be about another 5 OF cent word. At the present time h' Daw- son papers pay T. cent, word for press matter from Vancouver and lf cents from Seattle. Papers published in Alaska, itth,y pa,ronile the American line, wiuba,e Co pay from Jhsee to six times that rate.
 The expense of maintaining the cable cannot beplead in justification. because it costs much more Go keep up the De- minion line. which for hundreds of miles traverses aa uujohabited noun tainous wilderness that i, frog and buried in almost tathou,less >.oN drifts for half ,he year. ,haa i, coa possibly cost the American g1,ernm u to oper- ate and keep in repair it's cable. The cost of constructing the Dominion line was more than 5o per cent greater than will be the cost to lay the United States cable.
 The result will be that no Alaskan paper will Use the American telegraph ic connection. They can better afford Go pay the four tolls between Alaska and Seattle to the ". ?. * Y. R., the Dominion government, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Postal Tele- graph Companies than they can to pay the one toll to the United States gov ernment.

WARNING TO JUNEAU.

The people Of Juneau should take warning at the recommendation made by Senator Dillingham; to President Roosevelt that congress begin at once to building roads in Alaska Particu- Iarly so because the statement was coupled with the iutimation that it is only a question of time until the dis trict will be given a full territorial government. The construction ofroads in Alaska will mean an increase in the population in the vicinity Of the public works that win be carried on. It will mean that when that time, recognized by Senator Dillingham; as inevitably of the future. shall come when Alaska will be given the right to govern her self, Juneau might not be of such rela- tive importance among the towns of Alaska as she is at the present time. 1T the creation of a territory shall be delayed for many years, it is almost foregone conclusion that the capital of the district will be situated in some other portion of the district than on Gasteneaux channel
 Mneau's hour is the present, and the people of that city should make use of it to anchor the capital of the territory in their city.

BASKETBALL.

The Go G basketball team had an easy time in defeating a quintet or players from the North End Athletic club last night at the armory. The score was 24-12. At the end of the first half the score was 1S-2. In the second half the military boys subst1- tuted Egan and Slavin for Kelly and Stein and let up somewhat in their fast work. The North End A. Q. team was considerably weakened by the absence of Reeves. who is considered one of the best players in bhe city. The individual and team work of the militdamen was fine. Another game between the same teams will be played two weeks from last night when the North End team intends to have sweet revenge.
 The teams consisted of the follow ing players:
 North Ends--H Hayes, Egan, BTant, Lackey, Lavine and Wells.
 Go c iMcPartland. Connor, Law, Tor, Kelly, Egan and Slavin.
 Officials Fl. Stout, o. Armbruster.

BASE BALL FIELD.
Waterbury Asked to Join An
 Independent League.

New Haven, Bridgeport and Several
 Others to Join-An Effort to Revive
 a League of Connecticut Cities Try
 ing to Down Jim O'Rorke in Bridge
 port.
 The recent articles published in the Democrat relative to Waterbury having base ball in this city have created quite q lot of interest not only in this city but elsewhere throughout the circuit. The business men who have offered to put money into the game here have been notified that if they will go into 2 league composed of Connecticut cities alone, Bridgeport and New Haven will 20 in also. This does not mean that Bridgeport and New Haven as com posed and managed now will go into that league. It means that those cltles will have two other teams. The reasons given are these: Down in Bridgeport there is a strong feeling against Man ager James O'Rourke and there Is one man down there who will back an in dependent team against O'Rourke's s pets. This man claims that he has all ready signed Terry Rogers and will get the pick of O'Rourke's players besides. The scheme is to drive Jim ORourke out of base ball. In New Haven. while there is not the same feeling against Jimmy Canavan, it is proposed to have grounds more centrally located than Savin Rock.
 The packers of the scheme to start Connecticut league composed of COn- necticut cities alone have the good coin and they are willing to try the old league style over again. Bristol will be another city in the circuit, and per haps Torrington and Danbury The men behind this movement are confi- dent that before the season is over Meriden will be knocking for admission and perhaps one or two others It IS proposed to drive Springfield and Hol- yoke out of the Connecticut league and get back to where the teams once stood. There is one certain, sure thing, that if the league does start Jim O'Rourke will have hard sledding down in Bridgeport, and if the people looking after the matter in New Haven get the right grounds, Jimmy Canavan will be up 8 tree.
 However, while this may be all hot air. Waterbury is stil1 clamoring for ad- mission to the present league as 1t Is constituted Waterbury, with the grounds in the center, is much better for the league than Holyoke. The only team that will get any benefit out of Holyoke Is Springfield. It will hurt New Haven, Bridgeport, Meriden, Nor wich and New London to stick to Hol- yoke. The action of giving the fran chise to Holyoke should be rescinded. There is no one there willing to take 1t. Why not turn it over to the business men of this city. who are willing to put up the real article2 It is one days trip to Waterbury; 1t is two to Holyoke. Just think it over, you magnates.
