Urne the committee should plve to the subject the more thoroughly the public would be convinced of the falrm-ss of Its position, when ultimately taken. They dwelt at Pom? length upon the charge that the attorney general, previous to entering upon the duties of that otllce, had Uen attorney for the United States Steel Corporation and the armor-plat manufacturers. In reply to these accusations it was said that it was legitimate for an attorney In private life to represent any Interest in hi official capacity, and it was argued that his position as coun.s-Ior for those Interests could not be used legitimately against him in connection with his nomination to a position under the present administration. So lon as he had conducted himself with propriety his relationship as an attorney should not be ued to his injury as an official. The vote on the motion to recommit was lost. The ballot stood U to 7. There was no roll call on the motion to confirm, which Immediately followed. Other nominations confirmed were: John C. Ames, United States marshal for the Northern district of Illinois; Charles P. Hitchcock. United States marshal for the Southern district of Illinois. ... Til A!V KS FOR SCIIMIV AM) MKX.

As a result of the negotiations that have been in progress between Secretary Hay and Mr. Rrun, the Danish minister, the last obstacles of subBtance to the preparation of the treaty of cession whereby the United States will become possessed cf the Danish "West Indian Islands, have been removed. It is said the points of difference have been adjusted in a manner to insure the acceptance of the treaty by the United States Senate and it is even possible the convention may be laid before that body before the holiday recess. The tieclsion of the Supremo Court in the Insular cases has made easier the preparation of the treaty on satisfactory lines, it is said. OBITUARY. John Snlnton, Loni; Prominent nn nn Eennomlt Writer.

FREEDiMAN HITS BACK

OIITAI.S AX IJLCTIO. ACiAIXST LEA (l'E PRESIDENT SPALDING. Court AIiio HefttrultiH Delivery of Recortlt Spalding AkhIii Declare Ilia Opponent Out of Haseball. . NEW YORK. Dec. 1C Andrew Freedman obtained an Injunction late this afternoon in the Supreme Court through counsel to restrain A. G. Spalding from assuming the presidency of the National Raseball League and from Interfering with the business of the National League In any way. The order further restrains Nicholas E. Young from delivering to Spalding any of the books, records, or papers of the league. The defendants are ordered to show causo before Jude Holt Dec. 1J why the injunction should not be made permanent. In this action Mr. Freedman represented the New York, Roston, Cincinnati and St. Louis baseball clubs, these four being the organizations, who-e respective presidents left the meeting of the National League magnates at the Fifth-avenue Hotel early on Saturday morning. Mr. Freedman declares to-night that there shall be no further controversy between him and Mr. Spalding, who stands as the representative of the other four clubs In the National League Urooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago and rittsburg. He asserts that whatever future action may be taken to settle the light in the league will be taken In the courts. Mr. Spalding gave out In the evening copies of telegrams he had received from P. T. Powers of the Eastern League, and Ran Johnson of tho American League, in which these two men promised their cooperation to Mr. Spalding. Mr. Spald'ng Is authority for the statement that the final steps in the proposed process of putting Mr. Freedman out of the National League, rests with the stockholders of the New York club. "I am the president of the National League," declared Mr. Spalding. "1 shall be present to preside at the future meetings of the league. In view of his actions I defy Andrew Freedman to come to the meetings of the league. I therefore declare him out cf baseball. The Freedman incident is closed." It was the opinion of many to-night that the only means by which Mr. Freedman could bo put out of the league was through the disruption of that body. It was suggested that an amalgamation of the American and National leagues might take place and a twelve-club circuit adopted. Mr. Spalding made what was taken to be a significant remark to-day In connection with this when he said: "It may not be so easy to get playing grounds in New York, but neither will it be so easy to cut streets through grounds after Jan. 1." When Mr. Spalding and his followers began their meeting this afternoon, Mr. Spalding read a letter in which he notified Freedman of the hour of to-day'a meeting, asked him to be present and offered to debate their differences. The closing paragraph was: "You may consider this a public challenge to meet me in public debate on this baseball question. ' Freedman or Spalding must get out of the game for good. It's up to you, Mr. Freedman. 'Play ball.' " Then Spalding read a letter from a legal firm of this city in which the lawyers taid they had read the minutes of the meeting at which Spalding was elected president and gave it as their opinion that ha had been regularly and legally elected president. Mr. Spalding then took up his firm's attitude In furnishing baseballs to the league. Tho contract with the league was made ten years ago. A vota was taken and It was decided that contract should be renewed. The firm furnishes 150 balls to each club each season free of charge, all others being purchased at $15 per dozen. During the day Spalding had received a letter from Henry Chadwick, of Brooklyn, In which Chadwick upheld his course. Chadwick has teen getting a pension irom the league of $,"0 a month and after his letter was read Spalding moved that it be made $luJ and this was done, the matter to be finally passed at a future meeting. W. II. Conant, of Roston, said to-night he did not see how Mr. Freedman was to be got out of baseball. "There is only one provision in the constitution," he said, "under which lie can be expelled nonpayment of dues. I guess the thing won't go much further." Mr. Conant said eminent counsel had declared Spalding's election illegal. Mr. Soden, of Roston, said to-night: "We took the matter into court so that we could have an opinion as to the validity of Spalding's election. The case Is entirely a friendly one. We simply .want to know where we stand that we may know how to proceed." GENERAL SPORTING NEWS. WILL NOT GO ARROAD. Thomas Reath, chairman of the University of Pennsylvania, says the university would not send a crew to England or Ireland next year. Yesterday's Race Winners At New Orleans: Old Fox, 20 to 1; Cast Iron, 4 to 1; Major Manslr, 'A to 1; Malay, 6 to 1; Trebor, even; Albert Lee, 13 to 1.

The Georgetown University advisory board to-day voted unanimously to sever all athletic relations with the University of Virginia. This action was taken because it is said Virginia made unfounded charges of professionalism against several of the Georgetown men. SOUTHERN BALL LEAGUE. The Southern League of Baseball Clubs next season will be composed of the following cities and managers: Nashville, Newt Fisher; New Orleans. Abner Powell; Atlanta, Ed Pabst; Chattanooga, not selected; Birmingham, Frank Haller; Memphis, Charles Frank; Shreveport, George Reed; Little Rock, Mike Finne. DAMAGE BY THE FLOODS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) inoperative from floods. Many districts are inaccessible because of bad roads. Telegraphic and telephone communication, though interrupted between numerous points, has stood the strain well. Up to to-night one death has been reported, that of a German named Patten on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, whose engine plunged into a washout. A similar accident on the Maine Central resulted In the Injury of three persons, one of whom maydie. Madison, on the Upper Kennebec river, sustained the greatest damage from floods of any place, it being fully half a million dollars. Logs and ice crushed buildings and overturned many others, especially in one section of the town, where there are large mills. The watt-r. when at its highest, was three feet beyond the highest record in the great "pumpkin freshet" of A million feet of lumber was washed away. The. Great Northern Paper Company's loss Is very heavy. Its expensive electrical machinery was ruined, and Ufte en carloads of finished paper were destroyed. FLOOD AM) COLD WAVE. Had Night for PlttburRer Danger Over Yesterday Morning?. PITTSBURG. Dec. 16. The crest of the flood and the lowest point reached this winter . by the mercury were both registered at the same time, S a. m., when the Smlthfleld-street bridge marks showed twenty-live feet eight inches of water in tho Monongahela river, and tho government thermometer Indicated five degrees above zero. Tho rivers are now falling here and at the headwaters, and the temperature Is steadl.'y rising. A flood and cold wave at the same time Is almost unprecedented and only the sudden drop In the temperature averted one of tho greatest fiood In the history of Pittsburg. As it was the lover parts of the Point di.stiict and Du'iutsne and lowlands nlon th Mononir.theli river. South Side.

were submerged. In Alleghany the river front was entirely under water, including lMttsburg & Western, Lacock t Robinson, Hope. Balcan, Walnut, Cherry, Madison and River avenues. The cellars In many houses were flooded and people were compelled to move. Along the banks of the Alleghany and Pittsburg it was the most fearful night experienced in many years. Similar conditions have been practically unknown to this generation. Hundreds of men tolled all night with the gigantic coal tows, tied up to the landings on both sides of all three rives, in the face of a bitterly oold wind, drenched at times with the splashes of foam, their clothes frozen on them Immediately, and the suffering was awful. Never in the history of Pittsburg was there such a flood on such a night. The rains and snow of the past three da'3 caused the upper tributaries of the local rivers to swell, and the result was a rise almost unknown at this season of the year. Warning was sent out from the weather bureau that a flood stage was possible, and even probable, but the suddenness with which the cold air descended on Saturday night Influenced the minds of the men who were guarding the big coal fleets, and the rise came as almost a complete surprise to them. Usually a cold snap takes all the life and danger out of a flood. It failed to do so vesterday and as a result the freshet will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that might have been saved. The damage to goods in the wharves In warehouses, stores and private houses In the two cities will never be known. It probably will reach $'.000. In addition to this many mills and factories along both rivers were forced to close down temporarily and thousands of men and women will be out of work from one to three days and much damage done to machinery and finished stock At midnight the Ohio river mark at the dam registered 21.3 feet and falling six inches an hour. Davis island dam is piled high with wreckage of runaway coal barges, but It is believed this will be sufflciently cleared away by Wednesday to allow the passage south of about 15,000.000 bushels of coal ready for shipment on this rise. Ohio IllftliiK nt Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, Dec. 16. The thermometer registered 13 degrees above zero at 7 o'clock to-night, but tho Weather Bureau predicts colder weather before morning. The Ohio river has been rising rapidly at almost every point between here and Pittsburg. At Portsmouth it Is rising six inches an hour and has already reached a thirty-one-foot stage. At 6 o'clock to-night the stage in thi3 city was 27 feet 8 inches, a rise of 4 feet and 6 inches since 6 o'clock this morning. The river men here are of the opinion that 4Ü feet will be reached by Thursday morning, after which a fall is anticipated. The rise above caught the river men unprepared and many towboats were torn from their fastenings, but nearly all of them were recovered before much damage was done. Half n Million Damage. UTICA, N. Y., Dec. 1C The damage from the flood in the valley of the West Canada creek will reach RuO.000. From 75.000 to 100,000 logs were washed away from Noblesboro. Hinckley and Trenton Falls. Four expensive railroad bridges were destroyed. One mill was taken down stream like a paper box. and two others are badly wrecked. The railroad in that valley cannot be operated for four or five days. The electric power plant at Trenton Falls was damaged about $3,000. OTES OF TIIH FLOOD.

Collieries Shut Down Itallvrny ReRinning Running of Trnlns. DANGER AVERTED BY COLD. A fall of 48 degrees during Sunday night averted the danger of flood in western Massachusetts. DAMAGE IN NEW JERSEY. More than tlOO.OuO damage has been caused at Scudder's Falls and South Trenton by the sudden rising of the Delaware river. FACTORIES CLOSED. Many industrial establishments in South Harrisburg, Pa., have been forced to close down on account of the freshet, the water in that locality being higher than at any time sipce the great flood of 1SS9. Cellars of scores of houses in that locality are filled with water and It was necessary to use boats to carry food and fuel to many residents who were unable to leave their homes. WATER-BOUND DELEGATES. Communication with the outside world Is being gradually opened up at Scranton, Pa. Yesterday a train started for Philadelphia and New York over the Delaware & Hudson and the Pennsylvania Railroads via Sunburg and Harrisburg. carrying some of the delegates who had attended the American Federation of Labor convention. The others left to-night. LOSS OF $100,000. Insurance and realestate agents agree that the loss at Bethlehem. Pa., where 200 houses and a score of industrial establishments were inundated, will aggregate 1100,000. Silk mills, electric light plants, water works and a dozen other industries are so badly damaged that it will require another day or two to get them into condition for resumption of operations. The town was again in darkness last night. SLOWLY RECEDING. The high water in the north branch of the Susquehanna river is slowly receding, says a dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa. At 9 o'clock last night it was twenty-five feet above the low water mark or two feet and one inch lower than the highest point attained Sunday night. All the lowlands, however, are still flooded, and the people living at Westmore and the southern suburbs are unable to leave their houses without the aid of boats. The bursting of a dam at Parsons, where water was stored for the mines in the vicinity, did much damage. FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS. Several Serion Casualties nnd Valuable Property Destroyed.

ANOTHER SHALL FIGHT. Colombian Faetions Meet nt TV ombre De DIos Other Movements. COLON, Colombia, Dec. 16. A schooner which has just arrived here from a town on the Caribbean coast called Nombre De Dlos, brings the news that the Colombian government troops, to the number of seventy, who left Colon a fortnight ago for Viento Frieto, had an engagement with the Liberal forces at Nombre De Dios last Friday. The Liberals numbered 250 men, chietiy recruits from along the coast. They were badly armed, the majority carrying nothing but machetes. They were fairly well intrenched, however, and in the ngaxement the casualties of toth shits amounted to eighteen men killed and forty wounded. The government troops succeeded in carrying the entrenchments and driving out the Liberals from th.j town back into the hills. Nombre De Dios is the center of American manganese mining interests. Thre Is a railroad running from this port nine miles back into the country, but owln to the unsettled condition of affairs trafiic on the railroad and mining operations have been suspended during the past month.

Costa Rica in quest of reinforcements, ammunition, etc. The Conservative soldiers landed here by the General Pinzon, now garrison all the stations along the railroad between Colon and Panama in detachments of from twenty-five to loO men.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE. ("CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) neany all or the large concerns that are large employers of skilled labor. "On the other hand, the workmen have been educated to look upon capital as the common enemy rather than a benefactor. Capital has always fought organized labor with a view to destroying their unions, and the unions have felt that to exist they had to keep up a constant struggle. "No one coulu expect, under such conditions, anything but the long succession of extensive strikes, that have cost many millions of dollars in wages as well as in loss of business. In the last two or three years much progress has been made, and the leaders of capital as well as the leaders of labor have had their eyes opened as to what may bo accomplished in the way of getting together. "I should call the presevnt .movement a mutual disarmament in the industrial world. To nothing can it be rnore aptly likened than the disarmament of Europe. I would disarm capital of its antipathy to trades unions and of its ruinous policy that has too often ruled in the past. I would disarm labor of .its distrust of capital and of it3 desire to'place union ahead of the material welfare of the men who work." "When did you first become interested in this movement that has culminated in the New York conference?" "I first met some gentlemen who were engaged in the work soon after the settlement of the anthracite coal strike in I do not mind saying now that the settlement of that strike was brought about through making the capitalists who owned the coal railroads and the coal companies see that it was to their interest to meet the men and talk it over. "Yes, I admit that I had something to do with it, but the result is what I want to speak of. These men who have been educated to fight labor at all times, were brought together to meet the leaders of the anthracite labor leaders in J. Pierpont Morgan's office in New York. The result was that the strike was ended over night. What was effected then brought the gentlemen who were Interested in the industrial bureau of the Chic Federation to ask me to join in" their movement. They told me they were trying to establish, in all walks of industrial life, what had been accomplished in the way of settling the coal strike. I joined heartily with them, and since then have been doing everything In my power to interest prominent men in the movement." "Do you think a rule can be laid down to which labor and capital will agree that will result In preventing labor troubles in tho future?" "I do. It will be made a success If untiring effort can do it. The last great strike we had was the steel strike. That could have been prevented if it had been taken in time. Rut mistakes had been made and the matter got ia such a shape that the strike had to go on. I don't mind saying that the Amalgamated Association at one time during that strike offered to leave the whole matter to me as arbiter, but at that time the strike had got. into such shape that the other side, although they had the utmost confidence in the proposed arbitrator, could not arbitrate. "I will say, however, that the strike was finally adjusted through the efforts of the Civic Federation. Men like Ralph M. Easley, of Chicago, and Professor Jenks, of Cornell University, brought the thing about. "The conference which terminated the strike was not easy to be had. I went to Mr. Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation, myself and urged him to attend another conference. He finally consented to seo Professor Jenks. As a result the strike was declared off and Mr. Schwab has frequently thanked me for bringing him around on that subject. "There Is another incident connected with that strike which I will speak of more fully some time In the future. I will refer to it only briefly now, to show what may be accomplished by conciliation when a grave danger confronts the country. "At one stage of the struggle between the United States Steel Corporation and the Amalgamated Association a Fympathetlc strlko was threatened. It was gravely imminent, and if it had been ordered it would have tied up all of the transportation lines of the country, and there Is no telling where It would have ended or how extensive would have been the panic that would have followed. In many lines of labor the men were anxious to strike. "A conference was held In Cleveland, which was attended by officials of most of the big labor organizations. Officers of the Amalgamated Association were present. I know just what happened, for I was there. The latter leaders were told of the responsibilities that they would have to assume If they took the extreme step contemplated. As a result of the efforts made at that time, the sympathetic strike was averted. I believe in the future we will be able to accomplish great things in the way of adjusting these disputes before they reach the acute stage." Return of Captain Tilley. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. lC.-Capt. R. F. Tilley, U. S. X., ev-Governor of Tutulla, Samoa, arrived here to-day on the steamer Sonoma, accompanied by his wife. He will proceed to Washington, traveling by the southern route. Captain Tilley expressed his gratification that the judgment of the eminent officers who considered the charges against him in Samoa was in every respect a complete vindication. Captain Sebree took charge of the Samoan naval station on Nov. 27. THOUSANDS IDLE. Fourteen thousand men and boys have been rendered idle because of the flood in Shamokln, Pa., mining district. There are fourteen collieries, owned by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad in this region and all of them were flooded by the heavy downpour. !1E The station agent Is on duty. On bis exact communication of train orders depends thousands of lives, and millions of dollars in property, each day. In his haste he runs out in the rain or the snow hatless and unprotected.
