Brush to Attend Meeting.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-John T. Brush
is expected to leave tomorrow for Gin
cinnati to attend the special meeting Of
the National league.
The New York club has property rights
that must be respected said Mr.. Brush
today. Il intend to protect the stock
holders as far as the courts will allow
against any attempts to vote away terri
tory, which, according to the National
league constitution, belongs exclusively
to them. Had 1 not appealed to the
courts l might have gone to the meeting
to be held on Monday and found that,
Notwithstanding the constitution, l would
not be allowed hearing. I desire to hear
and be heard in the matter. The So
called peace treaty is no less than an alb
ject surrender to the American league"
Hermann Answers Brush.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 17.-Presi-
dent Hermann, of the Cincinnati club,
after reading Mr.. Brushs system, said:
mo final action was ever taken by the
committee. Before we adjourned Satur-
day night it was thought the under
standing would be final until our report
had been ratified by the National league.
With this end in view. President Pulliam
set Monday as the day for the National
league to meet. If Mr.. Brush or any other
member of the National league object to
the agreement because their property
rights have interfered with the proper
place to discuss that is to do it in the
meeting Monday. If the committee has
made a mistake, the agreement which ii
entered can be rejected. l insist that nc
final action has been taken"

Leagues carry out. the bush league
alone will be left to the obstinate ball
player who refuses to obey the rules
laid down by the Association Of Minor
Leagues.
At the present time the California
league is still on the outside and in a
position to take players from the
leagues organized under the protection
agreement, but this independent West
ern league promises to be a member of
the association before the next base
ball season opens.
Secretary Farrell, of the National
association, has been conducting a cor
respondence with the California league,
officers for some time and now Presi-
dent Powers is to go West to meet
with the Independent league magnates
and discuss the merits of organized
baseball.
1t is said that the California baseball
men are anxious to meet the advances
OF the organized leagues more than
half way.
With it's extra long season making it
possible to secure good players and
enough of them at all times the west
coast league became bold this winter
and was proceeding to calmly corral
towns belonging to league in the Ma
t1onal association. This move discov-
cred. the exact strength of the associa-
ton to the California league and the
surrender is the next thing expected.
The National association allowed the
California league to pursue it's way I'M
me1ested until 1t announced it's deter
mination to take towns from the Pa
cif1c Northwest league. This league
is a member of the National associa-
ton and President Powers Immediate
ly struck back. The leader Of the organ
lied leagues served notice of his in
tentiOn to blacklist not only all players
jumping to the California league but
the entire playing personnel of the
league.
This notice served it's purpose and
now the club owners of the independ-
ent league are endeavoring to arrange
the best terms Of surrender possible.
This week starts with the st. Paul
baseball club still a full-f1edged mem
Der Of the American association and
there is no reason to believe that the
situation will be changed at any time
before the opening of the season.
Since serving his formal demand for
a transfer of the st. Paul franchise on
President Lennon, President Hickey has
not been heard from and it is generally
believed that the demand was the as
sociation's final bluff. Lennon replied
to Hickey's demand with threat to
carry the matter into the courts and
that threat appears to have convinced
the other magnates that the st. Paul
club owner does not intend to permit
the removal Of St. Paul from the base
ball map. Billy Mac.

winning kittens than any other tom in
this country, just as his father, Lord
Southampton, sired more winners than
any other cat in England. Kings owner,
Mrs. H. A. Mix, has refused $500 for
him, and William G.. Whitney unsuccess-

BALTIMORE WILL
FIGHT FOR PEACE
Minority Stockholders VIII Oppose Trans
fer to New York.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 1.-THE mi
nority stockholders of the old Baltimore
American league club are going to give
Ban Johnson a fight in which it is be-
lieved they will have the moral support of
Ned Hanlon. Moses N. Frank, who lost
considerable money in financing the old
company, said today:
johnson and his syndicate cannot get
away with all the interests of minority
stockholders without legal battle. The
American league can never hope to de-
prive us of our rights and property by an
overnight meeting. We put up $4,000 on
condition that we have the American
league franchise and were schemed out
Of it.
IF the team did default in one game,
thus technically losing the franchise, it
was with the collision of Johnson. We
acted advisedly on that occasion on the
solemn pledge that Baltimore was to be
continued in the American league circuit
If they try to take our franchise to New
York without satisfying our claims, they
will meet with strenuous legal opposi-
ton"

the policy of free trade, surely it would
be unfair for self governing colonies,
possessing only fifth of the popula-
ton of the United Kingdom, to en-
deavor as of right to force an unwill-
ing people to adopt their views, and
drag the rest of the empire with them.
1t Is of supreme importance for us to
promote foreign trade by every legiti-
mate means In our power, in order that
our food may be cheap, and that our
industries may be provided with the
necessary supply of raw materials
From the British standpoint the es-
adjustment of a preferential system is
not deserving Of encouragement, but
our colon1StS, who see in the scheme
an avenue opened for them into the
heart of commercial Britain, but clos
ed to their foreign rivals, regard 1t
with approval and expectation. Per-
haps, therefore, moderate scheme of
preferential tariffs may be establish
ed in the future by the granting of re-
bates to the colonies upon those arti-
cleS, such as sugar and corn, whose
importation into this country has in
recent years become the subject, not OF
protective, but of revenue duties. This
would be minimum measure of pref
erenttal treatment, and, as such, it
might be justified on imperial grounds.
To advance further, however, might
spell commercial ruin. 1t is obvious,
however, that the grant of contribu-
tions from the colonies to the relief
of the imperial exchequer involves a
cOrrelative right. You cannot share
your burden without sharing the right
to say how the entire of the burden is
to be borne. Sir Wilfred Laurier,
speaking upon this subject Of colonial
contribution, is reported to have said:
If you want us to help, you must call
us to your councils Until the crea-
ton of an imperial council of such a
constitution as I have briefly indicated,
no council will exist to which the col
OniStS could be called. When an i'm
perial council shall spring into exist
ence, the colonies will come to realize
more fully than they do at present the
benefits which they derive from form
ing part of the empire. At the opening
of the colonial conference in Downing
street in 1887, Lord Salisbury, in his
address to the premierS, expressed
himself in these terms: 'Supposing
that the colonies were not part of the
empire, supposing the colonies were
independent, do you think they would
be safe? His subsequent remarks fur
nished a reply to his own question.
He referred at a considerable length
to the additions to the naval power
of the countries of Europe, the in
creased facilities of communication,
the improvement in Geographic sci
ence, and the consequent more speedy
concentration of force upon single
point, the desire among the nations of
Europe for foreign and colonial pos
sessions and then concluded in these
words:
Put all these things together and you

Letters Written In Wrath.

Because everybody does not know or
remember the story of Abraham Lincoln
and Secretary Stanton we tell 1t once
more. 1t is good for use. Stanton had
been exasperated by the conduct of one
of the generals in the field He com
planned of him to President Lincoln, and
said he was going to give it to him hot
That's right said Lincoln. Write him
a letter and tell him just what you think
of him. Make a clean breast of it,
With heat Secretary Stanton wrote his
letter and showed it to the president.
Then he folded it to be inclosed and di-
rected. President Lincoln said: 'FWhat
are you going to do with that letter,
Stanton?' why, | am going to send it
coin; put it in the waste basket. You
never ought to send letter Of that kind.
You've got the thing off your mind now;
let it drop" In ninety-nine times in a
hundred the place for a letter written in
wrath is the waste basket.-Boston Chris
