Trentons. of New Jersey, and Thistles, of AMONG THE BALL-PLAYERS. Glasscock's Reasons for Not Singing a Broth-Contract--Negotiating with Hines. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Nov. 23. --Jack Glasscock, the Hoosier short-stop, is in town on basebusiness. He has come here to negowith Paul Hines for a League contract for 1890, and also to talk over the base-ball situation, which, at present, is extremely interesting, with President Young, of the League. This evening's Star says of Mr. Glasscock and his visit: "A Star reporter met the athlete, who had donned the winter costume of an ordinary citizen, in the lobby of Willard's Hotel this morning,and endeavored to get from him some inkling as to the prospects for the great game next year, but Glasscock was sly and used diplomatic language. To the direct question, if he was not out for the League, he said,with a smile, that he did not think it was fair to say just now whether he was or not. He would like 'thirty days' notice,' he added. Paul Hines was waiting for him, and the two players and the scribe went up the street, the former beheaded for the office of the League magnate. Glasscock practically admitted that he was out of sorts with the Brotherand based his objections on sevgrounds. In the first place, he said, the affair is called a 'Brotherhood League,' whereas the managers are striving everyto fill up the ranks with men who are not Brotherhood players, from the American Association and from every possible source, while men in good standing in the organization are being shoved aside to make room. He cited the case of Con Dailey, who, he said, had to step down and out to give way for a man like Milligan. 'If I was not a good player,' said Glasscock, 'they would not have anyto do with me; but, since I am, and since I want to see fair play, and don't want to sign any sort of contract, they see fit to slander me by calling me a traitor. I don't care whether they call me that or not. All I want is a good position and an assured salary. They send me a contract to play with them for three years for a certain sum. If I sign it, I am bound hand and foot. If I save a little money the first year, and put it in the stock of the concern, the second year they have a right to freeze me out. This contract of theirs is practically a classification, and they can't get out of it. And then, too. it might be different if the salary was assured. But it is not. I'm not going to put my name down to an unGlasscock's main ground of objection, however, seemed to be the importation into the Brotherhood ranks of outsiders like Staley, Milligan.,Tucker and Kilroy. He will probably leave town with Hines's signature secured to a contract to play ball in Indianapolis, in the National League, in 1890. Ward Spends a Day In Indianapolis. John M. Ward was a guest of the Grand Hotel yesterday, and during the afternoon circulated among the members of the InLeauge club who are now in the city. Early in the morning he sent for Denny, Boyle, and Seery and those players met him at the hotel. On entering the pri vate room of the Brotherhood leader. Ward asked his guests if it was true that they had signed contracts to play in the city next season, and was told that it was, so far as Denny and Boyle were concerned. "Then," said Ward, "my business here is done." and the players arose to go. Ward, however, wanted a few minutes' additional conversation with them and followed them down-stairs, where a very animated discusoccurred, Denny doing most of the talking and Ward most of the listen- ing. The big third-baseman was very emphatic in what he had to say, and before the convention closed he waxed very wrothy, and scored Ward in a way that the Brotherhood man did not. enjoy. Denny couldn't understand why it was that Mr. Ward, in his scheme to work full justice to all the players, should put him in Brooklyu at$3,000, and himself in the same club at $4,500, while Glasscock was asto New York at $3,000. The converbecame more and more animated as it progressed, and Denny used some pretty vigorous language before he finally turned on his heel and left. Afterward Ward and Seery went away together in a carriage, and were gone an hour or more, but at the conclusion of the conference the little left-fielder denied that he had signed a Brotherhood contract. Ward left for Chicago at 11 o clock, without having. aca great deal by his trip to In- . Have Signed Brotherhood Contracts.. CHICAGO.. Nov. 23.--. John Ward, of the Brotherhood, arrived in the city to-night. He is very sanguine of the success of their scheme, and says the organization of all the clubs will be completed in a short time. At a meeting of the Brotherhood representa tives to-night it was decided to change the date of the New York meeting to complete the organization of the Player's League from Jan. 7, 1890, to Dec. 10, 1889. The following list of men now actually under contract, is furnished by Mr. Ward: Chicago--Baldwin, King,. Dwyer. Bartson, Darling. Farrell, Pfeffer, Williamson, Latham, Ryan, Duny, Tener,Bastain. Cleveland Snyder, Strlcker, Sutcliffe. Buffalo-- Ferson, Wise, J. Irwin, Mack, Carney, Keefe, Beecher. Pittsburg Berkley, Kuehne, Galvin, Miller, Hanlon, Morris, Field. Philadelphia Milligan.

Sanders, pitcher in last season's Philadel phia League club, has signed with the Phil adelphia Players' League team. The Cincinnati Base-ball Club has ob tained McPhee's signature to a contract to play in that organization next year. Ed Andrews, who was in Painesville. O.. yesterday, says: "I have signed Louis Bierbaner.the star in-fielder of the Athletic clnb. He will play in the Brooklyn Broth erhood club." The first out-fielder to affix his signature to a contract with tho Cleveland League club for 1890 is George Davis, who played last season with the Albanys. He is reto be a hard hitter and a good baserunner. He bats left-handed and will play left held. He is twenty-two years of age. MAN is often deceived in the age of a woman by her gray hair.

THE BRITISH COLONIES.

Mr.. Wiman Thinks Canada's Future Depends Upon Closer Relations with the United States. " Kingston, Ont., Nov. 23. Erastus Wiman spoke here this evening on "Closer Trade Relations between the United States and Canada." He said, in part: "In the United States circumstances are extremely favorable to some arrangement whereby trade may be extended to all parts of the continent, north and south. The demand for free raw material in lumiron, copper, coal, fish, fruit and wool, and also small grains is very strong, while the necessity for enlarged markets is equally apparent. The pan-American Congress is indication for enlarged relations with neighboring nations. Why not then with Canada, already the best customer of the United States. The enormous Treasury surplus calls for a reduction in customs, and as those levied on Canadian products amount to only $5.000,000, equal to less than 10 cents per head to the population of the United States, nothing would he more popular than its removal if an extention of commerce to continental proportions and the opening up of abundant sources of supply could be thereby achieved. "In Canada, also, the circumstances point plainly to the necessity of a change in the policy of the country. The population is declining, the debt increasing and the fig ures show that since confederation, twenty years ago, the deficit between exports and imports amount to $315,000,000, while the excess in the United States during the same period amounts to $800,000.000. England is exacting interest from Canada at the rate of $25,000,000 a year more than her total export of breadstuffs. Meantime the young men of Canada ask, what is the good of British connection if it prevents the country from an alliance with the United States, by which alone the vast resources of the Dominion can secure proper development. If commercial union could be achieved by concurrent legislation, a great stride forward would be taken toward a unification of the interests between the two countries. If this resulted in a political union, in time it would be welcome to the United States, and perhaps, in time to Canada. If, on the other hand, independence from Great Britain was desired it would not be seriously objected to. With British capital pouring out at its present rate it would take less than fifty years for Great Britain to control one-half the industrial establishments of the United States, and with that country paying annually at least $100,000,000 to London in the shape of inter est and dividends, the United States would be far more important to Great Britain than Canada. "Apart from this momentary interest, it is significant that the great statesmen of England recognize in the United States the representative of English civilization on the continent of North America, as shown by the remarkable speech of Mr. Gladstone at Paris, in which he predicted in America in a hundred years a population of six hunmillions. If, with the United States of Brazil following in the steps of the United States of Columbia, which followed in the wake of the United States of America, there should be created the United States of Australia, and eventually the United States of Canada. Great Britain would not be in jured, but rather glorified by thus permitting nearly 80 per cent, of her empire to assume a condition of independence, selfreliance and prosperity, so gloriously illusby the career of the neighboring republic. The world moves rapidly in these days, as shown by the recent rev olution in South America, and if, in the northern half of the continent, at the general elections to be held within eightmonths, a verdict is rendered in favor of a free and unrestrained relation by Can ada with the United States, a great step forward will be made toward a unification of interests between tho two great nations that now possess the continent in common, and which, by harmony of action, would develop for the good of mankind its abundant riches." DRAWING TO A CLOSE. Only a Few More Witnesses in the Cronln Case to Be Examined the Defense Satisfied. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. No further evidence was heard in the Cronin case to-day. At the opening of the court Mr. Forrest an nounced that his expected witness, Mr. Lynch, had had a relapse, and he had de cided to get along without his evidence. As there were no further witnesses present the court adjourned until Monday morning, with the understanding that the defense would examine one or two minor witnesses and would then close its case. State's Attorney Longenecker sat in his office this morning smiling and satisfied with the results of his and his co-laborers' efforts in presenting the evidence against the five suspects. "I think we have estab lished a case that has not been broken down in a single instance," he said to a re porter. "Those Clan-na-Gael alibis did not help the defendants, in my opinion, one whit, and on the rebuttal the State will put some witnesses on the stand that will to a great extent compromise their testimony." Ihe defense did not finish its case to-day. as expected. Kunze discovered last night that he had several people on the South Side who could help him out to some exand they will come in Monday and testify. Then the State will introduce its rebuttal, which. Judge Longenecker said this morning, would only occupy the re mainder of the Monday session. The surrebuttal of the defense is not very great. and will be all in at the end of the morning session of Tuesday. On that afternoon or Wednesday morning the arguments will begin. Farmers Mutual Benefit Association. Speclal to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Nov. 23.--The annual convention of the General or National As sembly of the Farmers Mutual Benefit As sociation, which was convened, all this week at Mount Vernon, adjourned last night. Between 700 and 600 delegates, rep resenting almost every State in the Union, were present. H.H. Moore, of Illinois, pre sided over the convention, and J. P. Steele. of Mount Vernon, acted as secretary. The session was strictly secret. A large amount of business of interest to the Farmers' Aswas transacted. The last session of the A. M. B. A. General Assembly was held at Murphysboro, Ill., in October, 1888. The next General Assembly will be held at Springfield, Ill., in October, 1890. The following officers were elected for the General Assembly: President, H.H. Moore, of Illinois: vice-president, J. P. Moore, of Kan sas: secretary. John P. Steele, of Illinois: treasurer, T. W.

Southworth, who murdered Stephen L. Pettus yesterday, was visited in her cell to-day by her attorney. When questioned as to the line of defense, if any, which had been determined upon, he replied that the defense undoubtedly would be insanitv. There was no doubt, the counsel said, that Mrs. Southworth was insane. His client was incoherent in her statements, the result of the great shock her nervous system had sustained, but in a day or two she would be more rational. As matters stand, Mrs. Southworth's statement of her many wrongs is quite clear enough to enable counsel to grapple with the case. Mr. W. B. Martin, the woman's brother, was among her early callers. It was with this brother that Mrs Southworth lived. The scene between brother and sister is described as of a most affecting character. She seemed to forget her position, as almost all her in- quiries were made concerning her mother. She will be examined by the coroner next Tuesday. Grand Army Reunion.

TWO LEGISLATURES IN MONTANA.

Republicans Organize in One Place and the Democrats Another --Action of Senators. Helena. Mont. Nov. 23. --The lower house of the Legislature organized this afternoon in two branches --the Republicmeeting in a hall on Main street and the Democrats in the court-house. The Republicans had thirty members, two more than a quorum. The body was called to order by the State Auditor, and sworn in by Chief-justice Blake. The organization was perfected by the election of A. C. Witof Beaver Head county, as Speaker, and Benjamin Webster, of Lewis and Clarke county, Chief Clerk. A full list of suborofficers was also elected, and a recess taken until 3 o'clock. The Democratic members of the House met at the court-house and effected an organization at 1 o'clock, Blakely, of Gal latin, was elected Speaker. The members were sworn in by a notary public. The doors were closely, guarded. No one was admitted except those holding certificates of election from county clerks. This branch also took a recess. The Senate met at the court-house, but the Democratic members absented themselves and there was no quorum. Lieu tenant-governor Rickards called the Senate to order. On roll-call eight Republicans were present and were sworn in by Judge Hunt, after which they adjourned until Monday morning. In a caucus of Republican Senators and Representatives, this evening, the action of the Republican members in organizing separate from the Democratic members was explained. It was stated that the Re publican action was based upon the proclamation of Governor Toole, that none would be permitted to participate in the House organization, or recognized as having rights as members, except those holding certifiof election from county clerks. It was stated that the, new Constitution, in force since Oct. 1, expressly provides that the returns for all State officials, including members of the Legislature, shall be canby the same board created by the enabling act to canvass returns of the vote on the Constitution. The chairman of the caucus added that the Republicans stand unanimously on the proposition that such only as were found and declared to be members by the State canvassers are prima facie entitled to seats, and that all power to determine the further rights or any member of either house rewholly in the separate houses-- at no time or in any degree in-the Governor. Without notice from the Governor that he had secured rooms for the members of the respective houses, he, by proclamation, orthe members to meet in certain desigplaces that until the last moment before the hour appointed were locked and guarded against the admission of all perwith no prospect or promise but that such places would continue to be under the Governor's personal control. Rather than submit to such inquisitorial supervision and restrictions the Republicans, with the officer designated by law to call the house to order, proceeded to organize elsewhere. As the Senate contains an equal number of Democrats and Republicans and there could be no contest of right of the Lieutenantto preside over the organization the Democratic members in a body staid away and thus prevented organization. TELEGRAPHIC BREVETIES. The postoffice at Madeira, Hamilton county, Ohio, was robbed, on Friday night, of $50 worth of stamps and $150 in cash by burglars, who blew open the safe.

Conspiracy Case. Scottdale, Pa., Nov. 23.-- The Callaghan conspiracy case is the principal topic of discussion here to-day. Mr. Callaghan was seen last evening, and when asked in regard to the unpublished letters from him to Mr. Powderly, he stated that if there were any such letters in existence they were evidently forgeries. 'I wrote to Powderly." he said, in regard to the boy cott being waged against me by Wise and Byrne, but he ignored my letter entirely. The Heading railway story is all bosh. There is not a word of truth in the state ment. I returned the pass sent by the Reading company when I was a member of the legislature and have had no dealing with the company since. The Statement that I am unknown is ridiculous. I am well known to the people of this and surcounties, and I have worked hard to make my way in life, and do not feel like being bulldozed by a lot of scoundrels." Peter Wise was arrested by Constable Gay yesterday evening and gave bail for his appearance at the hearing.

Corneillier, who investigated the whiskey smuggling at Quebec for the government, states that, so far as can be learned, there has been smuggled into Canada, by way of St. Pierre de Miquelon, this year 3,000 barrels of American whisky, and, as each gallon should have paid $2 duty, the government has lost $300,000 in revenue from that so

alone. One hundred and seventeen barrels of contraband whisky has been seized and action instituted against the parties who received them from the smugglers. The only remedy for the evil. Mr. Corneillier says, is to fit out cruisers to cope with the smugglers, and a recommendation will be made to that effect. A large quantity of contraband whisky is said to have been traced to this city, where it was delivered in small quantities to grocers and saloonDoings of a Cincinnati Embezzler. Cincinnati, Nov. 23. --A morning paper publishes the story that Richard D. Kyle, vice-president of the Anderson Harris CarCompany, of Elmwood, has embezzled $20,000 of the company's funds. Members of the company say to-night that their loss will be less than 1,000. They state that Kyle's method was to steal money from the firm and invest it in the company's stock. In this way he obtained about $16,000 worth of stock. He had besides this loaned the company $3,500 in cash. All this has been secured. Kyle met a young girl, Miss Inez Glodie, alias Ruby Leachman, in a house of doubtful reputation it this city.

DEATH IN A COPPER MINE. The Famous Anaconda, of Montana, Catches Fire, and Nine Men Lose Their Lives.

BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 23.--Fire broke out in the cross-cut on the 500-foot level of the Lawrence mine. The draft is blowing it into the Anaconda workings. A great volume of smoke is issuing from the Anaconda shaft. Patrick Murphy, Henry Page, Jerry Sullivan and Tim Keliher are known to be suffocated in the Anaconda. A man could not live two minutes in any part of the mine, and the worst results are feared. A later dispatch says: The flames were discovered by Neal McCall, a miner working on the 500-foot level of the St. Lawrence mine, in a cross-cut, and -after an unsuc cessful attempt to suppress the apparently small fire with his coat he got help, and the men tried to drown out the flames. They were soon driven out of the mine by heat and smoke, and as the fire occurred at 5 o'clock in the morning between change of shifts, only a few were down, all of whom got out safely. There was a quantity of powder in the lower levels and to save the mines from disaster by its explosion several men volunteered to remove it. A current of air from the St Lawrence to the Anaconda sucked the workings of the forclear of smoke while carrying the fire to the Anaconda. The Anaconda consists, almost entirely of timbers above the upper lever and result of burning these timbers will be a cave-in of disastrous proportions. Although the presence of a large amount of carbonic acid gas made it very dangerous, the men willingly volunteered to take the risk. Two trips were made successfully, but the third was fatal in two cases. Keler, a brakeman, was overcome on the cage com ing up and fell back into tho shaft. John Lyons was also overcome and fell on the cage, his head striking the timbers when near the top and fracturing the skull. Pat Murphy and Henry Page were overpowered at the 800 feot level. Other men wentdown to save them, but had to leave them, having a narrow escape themselves from suffocation. The latest report is that there are nine men belonging to the mine unaccounted for and they are undoubtedly dead by this time. Incendarism or carelessness are the two causes assigned for the fire. The Ana-. conda mines constitute the greatest system of copper mines in the world, and the capital is estimated at $20,000,000. Cider Seized In a Prohibition State.
