NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-John T. Brush

the National league.
The New York club has property rights

league constitution, belongs exclusively

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

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
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 its 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-

surrender is the next thing expected.
The National association allowed the
California league to pursue it's way I'M
mo1eSted until 1t announced it's deter
m1nation to take towns from the Pa
cific Northwest league. This league
is 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.

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
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

FITZPATRICK NOT
AFTER COPHERS
Wisconsin Football Manager
Explains Minneapolis
Visit.

Charles j. fitzpatrick, the athletic man
eger of the University of Wisconsin, is in
Minneapolis on a mysterious mission 1t
Is stated in well informed quarters that
fitzpatrick has succeeded In persuading
several likely Minneapolis men who have
been counted on as Minnesota football
material, to cast in their fortunes with
the Wisconsin institution.
Since fitzpatrick came to town there
have been very few or his moves unob-
served. The Minnesota managers are
none too well impressed with the inten-
lions or methods of the Wisconsin man
ayers. There is some football material
up here that looks good to the latter and
with some of this material there has been
more or less prolonged dickering Nobody
Knows just what success Fitzpatrick has
had and he will not tell
In fact said the Wisconsin man this
morning, am ready to admit that 1
am out looking for men, but there is no
justification for the belief that l want
Minnesota men. On the contrary, we
think we have some mighty good men in

Everything is perfectly open and above

1T has been suggested that you were
some time ago asked to consider coming

We'll, that is not true. In the first
place Minnesota would not want a Wis
consin man. The sentiment between
these colleges is not such that a Wiscon-
sin man could re persona grata, you I'M

with Wisconsin which would preclude my
accepting such an offer If 1t were made.
But, speaking of Minnesota material,

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 preferential system is
not deserving Of encouragement, but
our colonists, 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, a 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 a minimum measure of pref
erential 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 have briefly indicated,
no council will exist to which the col
oniStS could be called. When an i'm
periaf 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 q considerable length
to the additions to the naval power
Of the countries of Europe, the in
creased facilities of communication,
the improvement in telegraphic sci
ence, and the consequent more speedy
concentration of force upon a 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

RECEIVERS STOLEN HORSE
f. c. Dixon's Animal Recognized

L. G. Dixon has recovered his horse
which was stolen last June. The
thief entered the barn and took the
horse out and from that time until
a few days ago all efforts to locate the
animal have been in vain. But few
days ago man drove into Oregon
City with team and buggy and VIM.
Trimble, who lives there and who
formerly owned the horse, recognized
the animal and laid claim to him.
The man refused at first to surrender
the horse, saying that he had got the
animal in trade further up the val
ley, but finally told Trimble that if
he could prove ownership, he might
take the animal, While Trimble went
for his wife to assist in identifying
the horse, the stranger went to res
taurant, presumably to get break.
fast. However, he only ran through
the Building, making hurried exit
through the back door and escaped up
the hill through the the timber,
abandoning the whole outfit. The
horse is now at Oregon City in the
care OF Mr.. Trimble and the officers
are in pursuit of the traveller.
