great silent majority who are bound over to their oppressors In jcrpctual political servitude. I regard the destruction of the Kcpubllcan party in that section as tho greatest crime ever perpetrated ngalust the republican government In this country save only the rebellion a ennje . which will haunt the party that committed it to tho end, a crime which will damn it to immortality. They can never wash the blood stains iroin their garment; they can never hold a feast at which this skeleton will not sit. Heretofore I have compiled statistics to show in detail how this vote melted away; how ballotboxes were pillaged or stuffed; how threats of violence terrorized communities; how negroes were hunted at nlht under the flare of tho torch, suffering every indljmity that Ingenuity could devise or brutality could execute. But description is no longer necessary. The story has gone into history, as acid eats into the metal. It can never be effaced. The Southern Deraoeratio leaders now acknowledge the crime with all fullness and candor. Judge Chrisinan said recently in the constitutional convention, which is still in session in Mississippi: "bir.it is no secret that there has not been a full vote and a fair vote in Mississippi since 175 that wo have been preserving the ascendency of the white people by revolutionary methods. In plain words, we have been stuffing ballot-boxes, committing perjury, and here and there in the State carrying elections by fraud and violence, until the whole machinery for elections wa3 about to rot down." Mr. Hemphill, a Democratic member of Congress from fcouth Carolina, said from his seat: "We realize that the negro is our equal before the law. We also realize that if he be allowed to vote and have his vote honestly counted and returned, the white people of houth Carolina will be in a minority. We must submit to that or quit the State; aDd we swear we will never quit the State." Mr. Henry Watterson, speaking for all the States, said: "I should be entitled to no respect or credit if I pretended that there is a fair vote or counting of tlie vast overflow of black votes in States wberu there is a negro majority, or that, in the nature of things, there can be." I think these confessions may be classed among the curiosities of poli tical literature. They are a challenge to the con -dence of the country, and if. tho Republican party should reruse to take notice of tliem it would be utterly unworthy of ' Its traditions and false to its responsibilities. The Democratic party which reaps the benefit of the crime will do nothing. As well expect the wolf to ileliverup the lamb. It has liuslanlzed the South. KrentheDemocrats.secure of the future, scarcely take the trouble to go to the roll. A lolitcal paralysis has seized uiou the people. They are under the dead hand of despotism. A certain kind of political equality exists there, butit is the equality of servility and not of republican institutions. When tho elections bill was introduced, the Democratic politicians began to bluster and threaten. This is vhe method of politicaL discussion they are used O. The Atlanta Constitution

advised a boycott of the North, but as the tail , cannot wag the clog, this suggestion was promptly repudiated. Then these chivalrous gentlemen, talkintr.like bravos in their cup, no titled tho country that there would be some blood-letting. Mr. Vuh of Alabama, said in the United States Senate: "If the bill becomes a law, its execution will insure the shedding of blood, and the destruction of the peace and good order of the country." In other words, Mr. lugh. like Pilate, washes bis hands of the matter, and we are told that for whatever haptens the Republican party will be responsible. This plea in mitigation of murder is familiar. It is olten heard in tho Criminal Courts. The burglar indicted for homicide did not intend to kill tho householder. The act really violated all his gentlemanly instincts. Indeed, those who best know the burglar will testify that he is a person of a very sunny .and peace-loving disposition. But the deed was lorced upon him. He was in the house merely for the purpose of robbing the inmate, but the house-holder was so hot-headed and impetuous, and insisted upon raising such a disturbance in the neighborhood that it was absolutely necessary to put a knife Into him. There have been Juries to whom this plea seemed to be entirely inconclusive. I might multiply these extracts indefinitely. For instance, we are indebted to the Charleston News and Courier for the information that "the red-shirted clubs, who. you will remember, overturned Republican State government In South Carolina in 1870, will be ready to help in the work of 'freeing the ballot-box next November. "We will all be there when the supervisors begin to count the votes." This interesting statement . Is merely additional evidence that people go to the polls in South Carolina nowadays only for the purpose of keeping somebody else away. The elections bill will be a great boon to that State. It will remind the people what elections are for. The truculent editor of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, who apparently has read Senator Push's speech, says: "It should be called an act to create riots and provoke bloodshed in the South. Our people will not submit to it," THE PROPOSED ELECTION LAW. Ah me, what act that roars so lound and thunders In the Index. The federal elections bill is a very reasonable measure. It provides that each United States Circuit Court shall appoint a supervisor for Its circuit; that upon petition of one hundred citizens in a congressional district or city of more than 20,000 inhabitants or of fifty people in a county the supervisor for the circuit shall appoint subordinate officers to Inspect the registration of voters, the reception and count of the votes and make a return to him. These officials stand side by side with the local officers and no local machinery is disturbed. If the petition comes from a congressional district the court will appoint in addition a board of three persons, who will canvass the returns and make report to the Clerk of the House of Representatives. In case of a confflct with the State board of canvassers these returns shall be conclusive. This bill is based upon a law that was applied to New York city in 1870, with the effect of reducing the fraudulent vote in seven wards 14.O00 at the first election held under its provisions. The genius of the law is publicity. It Invokes not so much tho power of the government as of public opinion. It is not enough that elections should be honest; they must be known to be such. The fabric of republican government rests upon pure elections. If the ballot be systematically debauched, and if the public confidence be undermined, the time will surely come when the people will cease to abide by the decision of tho polls, and this means anarchy and revolution. If the Southern people will not "submit" to this law or to some other measure purifying elections then there is an end of popular government in that section forevermore. By their suppression of a free ballot; by that absolute intolerance of political opinion which permits the existence of only one party; by making expediency the apology for crime, they are instructing their children in false and pernicious notions of government, which will bear bitter fruit by and by. They are sowing the seeds of lawlessness, and some day they will reap the whirlwind. 1 Hut there la another side to this matter our own. Your rights and mine are involved. What are those rights! We are citizens or the United Btates. Wo owe to the government allegiance and support. It owes to us reciprocal obligationsprotection and vindication from injury. By virtue of that clause in the Constitution which declares that all persons qualified to vote for members of the most numerous branch of the State Legislature shall be entitled to vote for members of the national House of Representatives, we have the right to cast our votes for ReEubllcan Congressmen. Bat this is not all. This i a government based upon equal and co-operative representation, and unless other people in other districts of other States are allowed to vote for Republican members of Congress our right to vote is valueless. For example in Wisconsin, 353.C91 votes elected nine Congressmen. In Alabama. Georgia. Louisiana. Mississippi and South Carolina, 378,e'J7 votes elected twenty-six Congressmen, a number sufficient ordinarily to control the political character of tho House of Representatives, the great law-making body of tho Nation. This is. however, not a local question, not a sectional question, nor a race question. It is a national question a question of the preservation of republican government. . But tlie opponents of the elections bill, with a solicitude that is really exquie-ite, say that the government cannot enforce this law. I reply that it if bound to try. We insist upon justice, and will accept no excuses whatsoever. Lincoln was fond of telling this Ktory: One day in the White House he found his two boys, Rob and Tad, quarreling over the possession of a knife. Mr. Lincold said to Bob. who was the elder of the two boys: "Give the knife to Tad, Rob, to keep him quiet." But Bob replied: "No, the knife is mine. 1 need it to keep me quiet. We need our rights to keep us quiet. Just why a Democrat in the South should have three times as much representation in Congress as 1 have is a matter that no one has ever been able to make clear to my understanding. I may say the same of Indiana, where the Democrats have stolen as many Congressmen as the gerrymander would permit. Although the Republicans carried the State in 1SSS, they could elect only three out of thirteen members. That is, the Republican; have one member for every 86,000 votes, and the Democratic party one member for every 27,000 votes. The Democratic party, which did not cast as many votes as the Republican party, has three times as many Representatives. If the next Legislature is Democratic, and it shall refuse to make a fair apportionment of this State, as it undoubtedly will, then the Republicans of Indiana will demand that Congress shall reapportion tho Congressional districts of Indiana, and of all other States, so that the majority of the Congressmen from each State shall represent a majority of the popular vote. NOT A SECTIONAL MEASURE. I have seen no objection to the federal election bill which seemed to me to be valid. They say that the bill Is sectional. But the bill applies to all parts of the country alike. Again, they say that the gleam of the bayonet is In it. The gleam of tho bayonet is in every bill passed Dy Congress. A law is not a request: it is an authoritative command addressed to the subject and backed by all the majesty and power of the government. They say that this bill will help the Republican party. If the Republican party has been unjustly deprived of its representation, it ought to help it. As well, object to the establishment of a court of Justice because ome man who has been injured will obtain some benefit from it. They say that the bill is natulan. This is not true. The supervisor will be ippolnted by Democratic as well as Republican circuit Judge, judges who hold office for life ind whose positions cannot be affected by the mccess of either party. Boards of election ihould be non-partisan, and this, in my Judgment, is an ideal method of selecting them. Again, they say that if negroes are allowed to rote the Southern Mates will be cuhjected to a corrupt and ignorant rule. I sympathize with any people in their aspirations for pure and enlightened government, but, in the first place, this bill

does not undertako to regulate the internal affairs of any state; and. therefore, this criticism is wholly beMdo the point. Secondly, if it did, the nlea of negro rule is dishonest. It is aery ued by Democratio ringsters whenever their supremacy is threatened." White, government iu

the South to-aay is corrupt, as an minority government must be. The treasurers in tho states of Kentucky, Maryland. Missouri, Ten nessee, Alabama. Mississippi and Louisiana, have betrayed their trusts and absconded, as to an ignorant domination, the States have a legal remedy in their grasp, only they have refused to use it, because it involves a decreased representation. The fifteenth amendment to the Constitution does not confer suffrage upon any one. It says that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. That is all. The qualifi cation of voters is a matter that Is left by the Constitution to State regulation. States may make any qualification they choose, whether of sex, age, condition or That not, provided that those qualifications are reasonable and in accord with the principles of republican government. The fourteenth amendment says that If the numDer or voters is limited by such qualifications tne representation in Congress and in the Electoral College shall be reduced in a proportionate ratio. This is the heart of the matter. The Democratio parry suppress tho negro vote, but insist upon retaining the unlawful representation. There is no benae or reason in this, and the people of the North are tired of it. If the educational qualification is prescribed, of course white men as well as black men will be disfranchised, and tne ucmocratic party is not willing to consent to that. ignorant legislation by white men is jusi as dangerous as ignorant legislation by black men. Their piea, therefore, for suppressing the negro vote on account of his ignorauce is false. The Charleston News and Courier acknowledges this. It says: "Sooner or later, It is to be presumed, all the negroes of voting ago will be able to read, and the Imposition of the qualification would doubtless spur them to this point of attainment very speedily What is to be done, then, is the real question." The convention now in session to revise the Constitution of Mississippi pretended to meet this issue houestly by requiring the voter to be able to read the Constitution, which is proper, and also to be able to interpret it, which is a vastly different thing. As probably no two lawyers would agree in interpreting any constitution, tho object of this clause is obvious. Y'ou may be sure that no negro voter will ever bo able to interpret tho Constitution of Mississippi to tho satisfaction of the Democratio election officers. Finally, they plead unconstitutionality and centralization of power. The Supreme Court of the United States has answered both these objections, in the case of ex parte Yarbrough 110 IT. S.J in words which are well worthy of quotation. "If this government," it says, "is anything more than a mere aggregation of delegated agents of other States and governments, each of which is superior to the general government, it must have tho power to protect the elections on which its existence depends from violence and corruption." "If the government of the United State has, within its constitutional domain, no authority to provide against these evils; if the very source ot power may be poisoned by corruption, or controlled by violence and outrage without legal restraint, then, indeed, is the country in danger, and its best powers, its highest purposes, the hopes which it Inspires and the love which enshrines it, are at the mercy of the combinations of those who respect no right but brute force on the one hand, and unprincipled corruptionists on the other." OTHER INDIANA MEETINGS. Gen. ltaum and ilou. Milton Trusler Address a Great Gathering at Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, Oct. 21. Commissioner Raum addressed the largest political meeting of the year in Terre Haute to-night Tho court-house, the only available indoor meeting-place, was crowded to overflowing. General Raum devoted most of his time to a discussion of the tariff issne, and the audience was in hearty sympathy with him. He spoke of the McKinley bill as an incentive to American industry, and ridiculed the idea that it would cause a net result of higher prices. He reviewed the pension legislation of the last session of Congress, showing that more had been done for the soldier than by any previous Congress. General Hanm was followed by Milton Trusler, candidate for Secretary of State, who captivated his hearers. No public man has over appeared in the city who made a better impression than he did tonight. After the speaking the people crowded about him to personally express their pleasure. Trying to Frightev Colonel Wright. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evaxsville, Oct. 21. A small sensation was sprung to-day upon the F. M. B. A. party in this district by a protest filed in the county clerk's office by August Brentane. Democratic election commissioner of this county, protesting against the name of Col. J. S. Wright being printed on the election ballots, claiming that of the 21G names signed to the petition, as required under tho new law, nearly forty are in the same hand-writing and fraudulent. Col, Wright is the F. M. 13. A. candidate for Congress from this district, and as he was also indorsed by the Republicans the protest has created a commotion. The only result that can occur is that Colonel Wright's name will appear on the Republican tickets, and tho F. M. B. A. will thus be enabled to vote for him anyway. Campaigning In Carroll County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Delphi, Oct, 21. A Republican address was delivered at Bringhurst, this county, last night, by C. B. Landis, of this city. The audience was composed largely of Democrats and Prohibitiouists, and packed the large school-room. While there are no pyrotechnics in this county, there tsing no brass bands, torch-light processions or fireworks, there is evidence all over this countv that the people are in deep earnest; that they indorse the work of the administration and Congress, condemn the management of the finances of the State and are determined to vote on principle when it comes to county matters. Mr. Landis will speak every night in this county from now until election day. - Henry V. Johnson at M ancle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Mcncie, Oct, 21. Hon. Henry U. Johnson, closed his canvass of Delaware connty with an address to an immense assembly, that tilled the Royal Rink building to its utmost seating capacity to-night. He dwelt at length on the labor problem, fully demonstrating the necessity of the protection offered by the Republican party. Said he, "Blot out our manufactories here, as seems to be the object of the Democracy, and see how soon the demands of onr 65,000,000 people, made on foreign markets, will cause them to bring the price up to suit their desires." He referred to American labor as the best clothed, best fed and most industrious of all the world. Hon. John "Worrell at Owensbarg. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. OwENsnuRG, Oct. 21. The Hon. John Worrell addressed the people of Owensburg at Brown's Hall last night. Both Democrats and Republicans, protectionists and free-traders, were present to hear the issues ably discussed. The inability of the Democrats to man ago thet iinances of the people, both national and State, was clearly pointed out. The gross extravagances of the Democracy in the State benevolent institutions was fully set forth. Mr. Worrell is armed with facts and tignres to substantiate every word he utters. He finds the party here thoroughly aroused and never more hopeful. Never was a party in better working order. The Campaign in the Thirteenth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Warsaw, Oct. 21.-Hon. William Williams, ex-member of Congress from this, the Thirteenth district, this evening addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Etna Greefi. The address lasted for over two hours, and was one of Mr. Williams's best efforts, delivered with his old time vigor and telling etlect. It makes Democracy uneasy when "Billy." as ho is familiarly known here, gets after them. The prospects for Wilson's election to Congress grow brighter at each hour of the battle. Feelle and Itankin at Madison. Special to the Indianapolis journal. Madison, Oct 21. Stanton J. Peelle made here to-night by far the ablest and most effective Republican speech of the campaign. He was followed briefly by Jno. Rankin, nominee for Congress, who. like Mr. l'eelle, was enthusiastically received. Kally at Morriatovrn. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Moukistown, Oct, 21. The Town Hall was crowded to-night. Governor Chase spoke in his usual forcible way, explaining the Stato's nuances. The meeting was a great success. Many soldiers were out to hear him. Ir you are all run down, fagged out, take Simmons Liver Regulator and he spry.

"WILL EOT FOLLOW GARLAND

What the Attorney-General Says About Election Instructions to Marshals, Unjust Orders of the Last Administration Will Xot Be Repeated Precautions to Be Taken to Secure Absolute Fairness. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 21. Attorney-general Miller's attention was called to a paragraph that recently appeared in a New York paper, to the effect that the Department of Justice will not be called npou to issue cautionary or restrictive orders, as heretofore, bnt that the United States marshals and their deputies will be permitted to exercise unlimited jurisdiction at the approaching election. In reply to an inquiry as' to what action his department would take to insure a free ballot and a fair count. Attorney-general Miller said: "It is true the department has not issued such an order as was contained iu the instructions sent to marshals and deputy marshals by the last administration. Until Mr. Garland became Attorney-general the Department of Justice never issued a particular 6et or code of rules for the guidance of United States officers during election times. Mr. Garland did issue instructions to the super visors and marshals in 1SS6 and 1SS3. The result was that the government has been sued by several hundred men who were employed as deputy marshals, and a large number of cases have been tried, and in every case the government has been com pelled to pay not only the judgment, but the costs. "The order as Attorney-general Garland .issued it was that in no case should the officers be paid for more than five days service. The statutes say that they shall be paid at the rate of $5 a day for not exceedT i i . . i ins ten uays. ana tue decisions nave al ways been, as it was plain they must be. that wherever it was necessary that they should serve ten days to properly supervise the registration and elections they were entitled to and must bo paid for ten davs service. As to just how many days it is necessary for them to serve depends on tne election laws of the several States. In States where they have no registration law. as heretofore in Indiana, they conld not be properly paid for more than two or pofhaps three days tne election and tne days it , was necessary to supervise tho count. Onlthe other hand, in a State like New lork, where they nave a registration law which requires several days7 service before election, they are often required to serve ten or even twelve days, though they can only be paid for ten. In every case it has been held by the United States Circuit Courts, and the Court of Claims, and in one or two cases that have gone to the Supreme Court of tne United States, that they must be paid for the number ot days they actual ly served, and it was necessary to serve under tne existing law ten days. "The Department of Justice." continued Mr. Miller, "has instructed the United States marshals that they will bo expected to take whatever action is necessary to in sure a fair election. They have full power to appoint as many deputies as may be required, and sumcient instructions and authority have been placed in' their hands to meet whatever exigencies may arise. The Department has followed close ly tne practice in vogne before the last administration, bnt has not attempted to assume as minute a jurisdiction over the control of elections to sav for how lontr a time each deputy marshal shall serve. It has left sucn details to tne marshal, who will, of course, be guided in his action by tho laws of the State where he may happen to De." Patents Issued to Hoosier Inventors.

Judge Kmkead, of Kentucky, and Hon. Will Cumback.of Indiana, comprising the Puyallup Indian commission, had a conference with the Secretary of the Interior to-day and received their final instructions. The commission will at once proceed to Tacoma. State of Washington. aud enter upon 4heir duties. The reservation of the Puyallup Indians adjoins the city of lacomaand the lands have been allotted to the Indians, who have no rights of alienation. It is the purpose of tho com mission to negotiate such arrangements as will enable the lrians to alienate such portion of their lands as are needed for the growth of the city of Tacoma; to adjust the question of right of way for railroads through . the reservation; the use of' the water front of Commencement bay, etc. Mora Steel-Works Needed. Washington, Oct. 21. The large amount of naval construction now in the hands of the ship-building firms appears to be somewhat embarrassing the builders in the mat ter of obtaining supplies of material, which must be of domestic production. The num ber of steel-works that can produce the large castings required to carry out certain designs are exceedingly limited, and they are pressed with standing orders, so that Mr. Cramp has suggested to the ravv De partment that he be allowed to modify the designs lor tne stem and stern-posts of armored cruiser No. 2 two mammoth steel castings in order to open up the field to other methods of construction. American Locomotives tn the Holy Land. Washington, Oct. 21. United States Consnl Henry Gilman, at Jerusalem, re ports to tho Department of State, under date of Sept. 22, that three American loco motives, made in Philadelphia, and intend ed for the new railway from Jerusalem to Jaffa, have arrived at Jatla. The consul says it must iuterest our citizens to know that the first locomotives ever used in this ancient land were made in the new world. AVlll Send Their Heads to Zanzibar. London, Oct. 21. A dispatch from Zan zibar says that the Sultan of Vitu. alarmed by the joint British and German military demonstration, has ottered to send to Zanzibar the heads of all those who were concerned in the murder of German traders, and that he has the murderers now in cages awaiting their fate. General Notes. Washington, Oct. 21. Attorney-general Miller has returned to Washington. Inspector-general Dumont, of the steamboat inspection service, has made a report to the Secretary of tho Treasury of the operations of that service during the fiscal year ended Jnne SO, last. There was no decided change in Admiral Porter's condition to-day, and the improvement attained yesterday has been fully maintained. The amount of four-and-a-half per cent bonds redeemed to-day under the circular of Oct. 9 is $174,050, making the total to date, $3.181.fj.0. The population of the State of South Dakota is stated to be 327.848. which is an increase in ten years of 220,300, or 2S3.C5 per cent. The Department of State has been officially notified that an industrial exhibition will bo held at Lyons, France, in the year , 1892, in which tho department of silk and

electricity will be open to exhibitors from

all nations. A cordial invitation is ex tended to all American exhibitors. EPISCOPAL MlbSIOXARI COUNCIL. Report of the Board of Managers, Showing the Society's Financial Condition.

NELSON BREAKS IT AGAIN' Maine Wonder Trots at Cambridge City and Puts the Record at 2:10 3-4, He is Now Three Points Ahead of Stambonl and Five Ahead of Axteli Kunningat Lexington and Washington Base-Ball Talk. NELSON'S GREAT FEAT. Stallion Ilecord Placed at 2:1034 by Ills Work at Cambridge City. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Cambridge Citt, Ind.. Oct. 21. Nelson, the Maine phenomenon, to-day knocked a half second oti his mile mark made at Terre Haute, and set the world's stallion record at 2:1034, where neither 'Axtell nor Stambonl is likely to touch it for a year, at least. It is hard to tell to-night whether Cambridge City or Mr. Nelson is the prouder over the great event. The track was in better condition to-day than it has ever been before, the weather could not have been tiuer, and the ex pectant croyd was confident that the rec ord would be broken, uhen the great horse appeared upon the track this afternoon, with his trial the first event on tho programme, he was received with vociferous cheers. His driver and owner wasted very little time in preliminary paces. After he had been on the track but a very few minutes he brought his horse down the stretch and gave the signal to the judges for the word go.w The stallion was workins in magnificent form as he passed under the wire, gliding over the ground like a perfect piece of machinery. Over the nrst quarter ne spea in :oot ana wnen no reached the half there was a subdued murmur of wonder, for the stop-watches showed. thatl:0534 had elapsed. lie had trotted the quarter in a 2:05 gait. At this point ho snot past nis wailing running mate utte a rlasb, and close observers sawtbat tho pace was almost imperceptibly slackened. He passed the third-quarter post at 1:3S34, and then followed the finest finish ever seen on an Indiana track. The rnnning mate came thunderinc up behind, and, at the sound of his hoofs, the noble stallion 6hot lorwara like an arrow from the bow. The people saw the movement and arose breathlessly in their seats. In another instant Nelson rushed under the wire triumphant in 2:1034, and a mighty shout went up as the crowd realized what had been done. Old horsemen yelled themselves hoarse, threw their hats frantically in the air. pounded each other over the shoulders and laughed and cried in their excitement. A graud rush was made for the track and C. H. Nelson, the owner of the horse, was pulled from his sulky and carried to the stand for a speech. Too happy himself to talk, ho yet managed to thank the people for their sympathy and promised to try it again to-morrow with honpA of even better results. Nelsou's groom was voted a suit of clothes on the I spot by tne Association. The Quarters were: :3334. :314, :33; :S2 2:1034. Nelson will try to-morrow to lower - . m .

The Brotherhood of i Base-ball-players held a meeting to-day aud sent a communication to the- directors of the Players League, which was also ia session, announcing their willingnesa to any action they might take tn the amalgamation scheme. To this the, directors sent a response, thanking the players for their coniidence and supporL The report of the conference committee was considered this afternoon. A. L. Johnson, of Cleveland, chairman of the committee on conference with the representatives of the National League and American Association, said that a number of meetings had been held, but no final or positive agreement bad been roached except that each body bad expressed a wish to meet upon some common and satisfying ground in order to prevent difficulties and embarrassments in tho national game. Tho meeting was called to patch up the differences. A common name was agreed upon, he said that of "United League." This report was accepted, and Messrs. Arthur Irwin, Edward liaulon and J. M. Ward were added to the s ime committee, with instructions to continue tho conference if they deemed it advisable. Indications this evening pointto a serious trouble about the proposed union conference to-morrow. The cause of the trouble is the addition of three players to the Players League conference. The National League people have always claimed they would never confer with players John B. Day says if tho three plavers are not taken oil tho committee tha conferenco will be dropped. Secretary linineli said that if they met with th League at all they met with their ix men or not at all. Ho saia there was nothing iu the story that New York and Brooklyn wexe anxious to consolidate. Ou the other hand it is claimed the Players' League capitalists are afraid to act without the players. They might bo "whipsawed'' by them. For the Wnrlia Champlnnthlp. LouisviLLcOct, 21.
