BLOW AT BAN JOHNSON CONCESSIONS GRANTED PLAYERS BY T1IC NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE. Wnr Agreement Signed In Return for the 3Infrnatcs ActionNo Player Can Join American League. NEW YORK, Feb. 26. For nearly seven hours to-day tho committee appointed by the National League to hear the demands of the Players' Association had President Charles Zimmer, of that organization, befor the committee In the Fifth-avenue Hotel. It was announced that no definite action had been taken and that another conference will be held. After the conference Zimmer said he thought that he could state that nearly everything asked for would be granted. He said there is but one hitch, but declined to name It. He said a proposition had been submitted to him, but he did not care to act on it, although empowered to do so, until getting the opinion of the other players. Ha said he had telegraphed to Clark Griffith and Hugh Jennlnga, the other members of the players committee, and until they answered he could say nothing. When he got their replies another conference would bo held with the League's committee. It was said to-night that the hitch came about over the proposition of the players to submit all disagreements lo an arbitration committee.1 The magnates arc, said to oppose it as impracticable. They maintain that the appointment ot a separate arbitration committee for every grievance from a player would mean nothing but committees at work all the time. A report was current that the magnates had agreed to accept the players demands, provided the latter agreed not to sign with any organization not playing under the national agreement. This, It is claimed, would be almost a death blow to the American League. That the National League had imposed a "war measure" upon the players in return for concessions was confirmed later In the evening, when President Zimmer, of the Players' Association, signed the following agreement and sent it to the magnates: "As president of the Protective Association of Baseball Players, and as its authorized representative, I hereby agree, in return for the concessions granted by the National League and American Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, this 26th day of February, 1901, that ail National League and Eastern League players who may sign American League contracts will be suspended pending action by the Players' Protective Association as a body." This agreement means that the players will stick to the League in its fight with Ban Johnson, although tho American League agreed to make every concession asked for by the players months ago. It was the only way the players could get concessions from the magnates of the parent leasrue. In demanding the agreement from the nlavers tho League has given its first of ficial recognition to the existence of the American League. Regarding tho American Association President Charles Powers said: "The as soclation is not out, of business as yet far from it. We have an engagement to go before the League to-morrow. There are several matters to be settled -and many vital questions to be acted upon. What these matters pertain to I am not at liberty to state. To-morrow I may have a statement to give out. Charles Strobel and William Meyers, rep resenting the Interstate League, are here to protest against the Western Leacue for the allt-ered "crabbing" of players from its clubs. They complain against Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis particularly. Fort Wayne will ask the national board to com pel Cincinnati to pay Z3J0, the drafting price, for William Bergin.

Harburger, Homan WU. facturers s ..i.r vm xnn T STORM IN THE DEPUTIES AN UPROARIOUS SCENE IX TIIE 'IIECH PARLIAMENT. President Unable to Maintain Order During? the Debate on the Law of Association Ulli. PARIS, Feb. 26. Tb-day's session of the Chamber of Deputies ended with an uproarious scene such as has not been witnessed for many months. Heretofore the Chamber has discussed the law of associations bill with much moderation and with an avoidance of Inflammatory language, but a word uttered this evening by Baron Xavlor Reille, deputy .for Castres, provoked a storm which raged In the Chamber for fully hald an hour. Articles 9, 10 and 11 of the bill had been adopted, and the deputies had beert discussing Article 12, which provides that any association composed mainly of foreigners, or whose headquarters Is abroad, may be dissolved by decrea. Numerous amendments had been submitted to this clause a?d Baron Reille moved an amendment with a view of legalizing anji association the management of which should be composed of Frenchmen. In the course of his speech he quoted from Savary, the member of the nation convention who stigmatized the condemnation of Louis XVI as "assassination." Immediately the Radicals and Socialists burst Into loud protests, M. Julien Antolne Slmyan, one of the deputies for Macon, shouting "You have to thank that assassination for the fact that your grandfather became a baron," alluding to Marshal Soult, Baron Rellle's grandfather. Others called upon him to withdraw the word "assassination." Baron Reille remained in the tribune without replying. The Rightists cheered him and the Leftists hooted him. Members shouted one to another across the floor of the Chamber. M. Bernard Cadenat, one of the deputies of Marseilles, who is a revolutionary Socialist, fell into a furious rage at a retort from M. Joan Plichon, moderate Republican, and rushed to strike him. The ushers threw themselves between the two men and held back M. Cadenat, who gesticulated wildly and shook his fist at M. Plichon. A veritable pandemonium drowned the sound of the president's bell, although M. Deschanel kept It ringing vigorously. A number of Radicals and Socialists demanded that he should resign for not calling Baron Reille to order. When the uproar had somewhat moderated Baron Reille, who is a young Conservative, again quoted from Savary, "The Interest you have in vengeance is nothing in comparison with the interests of liberty," applying the quotation to the anticlerical policy of M. Waldeck-Rousseau. This created renewed tumult, the Bightlsts cheering Baron Reille, while the Leftists protested, banging the lids of their desks in unison and producing an ear-splitting din. M. Louis Victor Renou, Revolutionary Socialist, one of the deputies for the Department of the Seine, shouted: "The national convention punished an act of treason." Another Leftist cried: "Vive la revolution!" Vive la convention nationale!" and "A bas les traitres!" Finally M. Deschanel succeeded In putting the amendment to a vote, the Chamber rejecting it by 2C3 against 170. ONE MORE GOVERNMENT. Province of Dulacan !Vovr Provided with Official Machinery. GUIGUINTO, Bulacan, P. I.. Feb. 2C The United States Philippine commission has arrived here from Manila and has organized a provincial government' for this province, which, until recently, was controlled by the insurgents. The insurgent Colonel Moreles is still operating with his band of 2u0 men in a portion of the province. Nevertheless a sentiment of peace and satisfaction with American sovereignty seems to be as prevalent here as In provinces in which governments have previously been organized. The party arrived here in army wagons and native carts, and was driven to the military headquarters. As many natives as could be crowded into the hall were present. The presidente of the town welcomed the commissioners, declaring that the people of the province, which had been watered with the blood of Americans and Filipinos, earnestly hoped for the obliteration of the marks of war and for the establishment of a peaceful government guaranteeing personal liberty. A banquet and a dance were given tonight. The next province to be organize! is Batsan, which will complete the organization of governments in General Grant's district. Little Manila Items. MANILA.
