BASE BALL. MEETING OF
 THE MACNATES
Pacific Coast League Has Now Come Into the F0ld..National League Rule Changes.

San Eranc1SCO, II eD. 0.--Ine m6SLiHS of the baseball magnates of the big leagues here has resulted in the Pa, ellie coast league being taken into the National Association of Professions Baseball clubs.
 The eastern men present were Ban Johnson, representing the American league; James A. Hart, of the Nation. al league, and Edward Hanlon of the Brooklyn club, representing the mi nor leagues.
 The Pacific coast league was admit ted into a special class by itself and will rank next to the two major leagues and above the three classes ot minor leagues.
 The Eastern league will not be al lowed to take any players signed by the Coast league and vice versa. There is q controversy over twenty different players and Hanlon promises to send the list by February 20, when all awards will be made. The principal dispute is over the services of Frank Dillon, first baseman of the Los An geles team. Hanlon claims that he signed Dillon for Brooklyn in Septam- Der 15, while Manager Merley, of Los Angeles, asserts that he signed him on April 1. No salary limit was placed on the Pacific coast league. Johnson and Hart immediately departed fol the east after the conference, but Hanlon will remain here for some time..

 This fellow was brought to the park one morning by newspaper man, and he got deeply interested in the practice. He was noted bats man-at cricket-and enjoyed the long, hits and fancy catches. Well we tried to inveigle him into practice and he was dead willing to be fnvei cept to tap the ball, and when he ran to first he dropped so many .h's' that he tripped over them. We tied g little basket in front Of him to catch the 'h's' and he ran better, but srlll he couldn't hit Finally he met . straight ball and drove it to deep left field. The sphere rolled under some timbers tossed aside by the ground keeper and couldn't be found. Around the bases ran the Englishman, amid great applanse, but when he reached the home plate he never stopped. He simply kept on around, and before we could get our breaths he had once more crossed the plate and was once more making a circuit of the cush ions.-

Furthermore Ryan's terrible body punching injured O'Brien's stomach in such a way that his physician has placed him on diet.

All of which would appear to refute the statement made by parti- sans that O'Brien had the better of the ruili. It was Ryans fight, if stam- ina, science and condition at the finish count for anything.

The New Aandkerehief kimonas.

Kimonas made from large, square
handkerchiefs have taken a new twist
this season. Instead of brilliant ban
danas and the old-fashioned combina-
tions OF dark blue and white. or vivid
red and white. the most delicate col
orings are seen.
The center of the handkerchief
shows delicate pink. blue. green. yell

in pale Persian colors or Dresden eff

dominating In the conventional or
floral design. Another difference in
the style lies in the fact that the
points Of the handkerchiefs are
brought to the neck line and then
turned over to form a small. shawl
shaped collar.

IMg TRRAcHRRY OF HURON

As is we'll known, three towns most
interested In capital removal, Mitchell,
Huron and Redfield, in conference
held by their representatives at the OPP
ening Of the last legislature, agreed to
go into caucus and urge capital remov-
al, the town winning the majority of
votes to have the support Of the other
two. After Huron lost In the caucus
and Mitchell won, Huron put up the
unreasonable and senseless plea that
the compact" was not binding after
the caucus. Any such compact would
OF course be OF no account except
after the caucus. The following
letter from John Longstatf, representa-
tive from Beadle county and the lead
or of the Huron interest, shows that
there was perfect under standing in
this matter, an agreement which HUI
ron has now utterly and treacherously y
lrepudiated:

'sMy Dear Friend: I have your
favor of the 10th and with some hu-
mility plead guilty to your indict-
ment. / assure you the line was
thoughtlessly written and you will
not have cause to call my atten-
tion to anything Of this character
again, and Ifassure you that no
man in the Legislature will be more
earnestly for Mitchell than myself
il you succeed In carrying the eau
Gus and the same may be said of
the entire delegation from this
county. I am perfectly aware that
i our fight does not end when the
caucus is over and I want to
1 strengthen in every possible way
Il the hands OF those who participate
/ in the caucus. Mitchell, Huron or
| Redfield must win this fight. We
have run up against some surprises
lately, bnt / hope they may be ov-
ercome and that Pierre can be de-
