has been a writer and enthusiast Of the
American national game for more tnan
half century, died yesterday after

Brooklyn, after a short illness.
Mr.. Chadwick, who was eighty-three
years old and was quite feeble, attend
"a Tie opening game Of the season at
Washington park, Brooklyn, last Tues
day, aud In his weakened condition
caught severe cold that developed into
pneumonia.
Henry Chadwick, although an English
man BY birth, he having come TO Ann
erica with Ms parents when he was ten
wears Of age, and having natural lean
ing toward cricket, which he played
himself, soon became deeply interested
in the game OF base ball, and used his
pen in behalf Of tho sport up TO the
time Of his death.
In addition TO being graphic writer
Mr.. Chadwick was the leading stntisti-
clan Of the gang, and his records Of the
work of the players of the big leagues
were generally accepted as authentic.
He edited a baseball guide and in adj
dition to that work he wrote volumin-
ously for various sporting publications.

ing him a patriarchal look. He was a
stickler for clean baseball, and for
many years had been vigorous opponent
Of ruwdy tactics on the field. He never
failed To criticize severely any action
that he regarded "a detrimental to the
gann, and, while he was quiet, gentle
man, whit preference to commenda-
ton and helpful advice, yet his criti-
cisms always carried weight.

Minority Leader Williams
Berates Speaker For Arbitrary
ADJOURNMENT OF HOUSE
Says Action Was Despotic--Denounces
1t as Bold Violation 81 Constitutional
Personal Friendship Re
mains Unbroken, However.

Washington, April Obtaining the
floor BIZ unanimous consent, to speak to
question o. privilege, Mr.. Williams
minority leader Of the House, yesterday
directed attention to what be called the
speakers breadth Of the privileges Of the
House in arbitrarily adjourning the
House last Saturday, despite his vigor-
GUS protest He would make all allow
ance, he said, for the Fostering with
which he had inflicted the speaker, and
for human nature becoming intolerant,
az being 50 pestered; but at the same
time, he declared, the speakers act was
one Of the grayest things that had Dc.
Cured in parliamentary history.
"All talk he said, about breach in
the personal friendship existing between
you and me, Mr., Speaker. growing out
of what ! regard as your arbitrary adj
iourning Of the House is nonsense. = Rca
friendships, he said, were too hard to
form and to maintain, and too precious
after they are formed, 10 be lightly shak-
en- off by sensible men.
Mr.. Williams then spoke of the con.
stitutional rights Of members to vote
BY yeas and nays.
The speakers action ID undeniable
and Is undenied by him." he said. THE
speaker cannot deny that it was his in
tent and purpose to cut off the right to
demand the yeas and nays, and that this
was the reason why he did not make the
open ruling, but instead resorted to this
unprecedented parliamentary act--by ig-
noring demand and explaining subse-
quentiy through the press, when there
was no House to appeal To nor to explain
his purpose TO"
Speaking in the most unimpassioned
manner and carefully weighing his words,
Mr. Williams added.
The truth ia, Mr.. Speaker. that YOU
are ore 81 the best men in the world,
but d long and undistrbed power, whose
lesser abuses have been good naturally
passed over, has made you somewhat
despotic and intolerable Of position"
For some months, he said. members
of the House snd the press gallery had
noticed that the speaker frequently made
q Jest Of some official act--asld no doubt
the speaker thought be could 40 treat
Saturdays incident But" be said,
the motive, purpose and effect Of that
action, which WAS unprecedented, unex-
pected and unannounced, was TO destroy
tho very essence Of representative gov-
eminent by anHihilating the constitu
tionaity guaranteed right Of one fifth Of
the House to place themselves on record
in all eases"
Mr.. Williams then offered the follow
ing resolution, which despite the protests
Of Mr.. Payne, the speaker held to be
privileged:
Resolved That the act Of the speaker
Of the House Of Representatives in ad
