MONTREAL. Quebec, January 1—For •ome time pent there haa beer cocsiderable discussion about the doings of an alleged “Independenoe" Chib in Montreal, but the managers of the new movement did not appear to Judge the time opportune for apWaUng to the public. A good deal of Interest was .added to the movement by the fact that during the Paris Exposition a large number of young men appeared in Paris wearing “Independence of Canada” buttons. Now the Canadian Independence League has issued its platform and constitution, but has declined

Ho says the American League is much more firmly established than the majority of the people interested in baseball believe," knd will soon be ready to make known its plana. The meeting of the Western Association magnates scheduled for to-day In Chicago baa been postponed indefinitely. Telegram* were sent to the promoters of the new association yesterday; advising them that the meeting would not be held until certain, plans fot the new organization were perfected. It is now thought thht the meeting will be held at the same time as the meeting of the American League, which la acheduled to take place before January- It. The National League people say the proposed organization of the Western Assoc tatien is largely in the nature of a bluff and that the scheme was sprung by the American League for the purpose of making certain people show their hands. This Is scarcely thought to b* true.^how-ev-r. The association has reeded a biackeye in the desertion of Lennon, of Bt Paul, who has Joined force* with Prealdent Hickey, of the Western League. Lennon was supposed to be ComUkey’s representative In Bt. Paul and was counted on as a member of the Western Association. J. J.

Borne facts Ip regard to the Hanley center-board cup defender that will be built to contest with the Belmont, and Lawson yachts, for the honor of defending the America’s cup, -have been given out. The yacht is of the centerboard pattern that was for forty years used successfully in defending the cup, and. In fact. !h first winning tt, as the nal America that won the Cup in

had a small center-rboard.

e Hanley yacht will have a water line of about eighty-live feet, and a lh over all; of 140 feet; an overhang rty-flve feet at the bow and thirty feet at the stern. The beam will be forty feet, the greatest ever given a Bailing yacht of thi# class The hull proper will draw .about seven feet, and. with the center-board, will have a depth of nineteen feet. The center-board box will be over thirty feet long, and the board of Sufficient weight to make it sink readily. TlUS. it Is thought, will be about forty-

flva tons.

The center-board cup defender was discarded a few years ago In favor of the cutter style. Formerly the races for the cup were of as much Interest tn showing the superiority tof the American etyle of racing yacht aa In defending the cup.but In the Defender, Columbia and the Belmont, and Lawson boats now building, the difference between them and the English challenger to only In fineness of lines and perfection of designs, aa the models are of the same pattern. The ted the centerway s relied on ... .. _ .—i in their own style of craft, American designers, particularly the Herreehoffa, have shown themselves superior to the most famous English yacht builders.

Change of Congressional Districts Not Advocated by All. The plan to, redlstrict the State la not being encouraged by all of the Republican Representatives from Indiana. Congressman Cromer, of Muncie, who returned to-day to Washington, said he did not see the necessity of changing the district lines, inasmuch a# f there was no chance of the representation of the State being increased- Congressman Cromer Inquired if there really was as much interest In the plan as was reported. He had not given it much thought, he said, a# on no basis of representation proposed so far during the preeent session of Congress can this State gain a member. He is of the opinion that the basis of representation likely to be established will be in the neighborhood of 193 000 This would entitle Marlon county to a separate Representative, but It is. not likely that the Seventh district, will be disturbed, as Johnson county to Democratic and the Republican leader# can not shift it without weakening Republican chances in adjoining districts. Congressman Cromer says he realizes that his district Is large, and that there has been talk of taking Randolph county from It, but he is satisfied that nothing will be done to lessen tbe chance# of the Republican party. Congressman Gromer Is confident that the Hopkins bill, which fixe# the basis of representation at 208,000, which would deprive Indiana of a member, will not pass. Tho minority report of Representative Burleigh, fixing the basis at 133,000, he believe#, will be accepted. The minority report also recommends that the membership be increased to 8S7. This will keep Maine from losing X member, but will not gain aoty for Indiana. Congressman Cromer said it was likely that the reapportionment bill will be taken up again as sOon as the session is resumed. / Senator A. Osborne, of Marlon. Is working on a plan to redlstrict the State and will present it in the Legislature, but probably not before the basis of representatlots. Is established by Congress.

In the Terre Haute dtalrlct It Is different. The factional war in Vigo county is still going on, and a desperate effort is being made to dialodge D. W. Henry. Nick FIibeck wants the job. but he is not partkui-tr about it, and if he can not be selected, he wants tbe privilege of namVrg Henry’s succeesor. Borr* of the politicians think that the fight against Henry will reeuit in his removal. On the other hand.* Henry’* friends say that if he is removed, it will let d<vwn the bars, and the administration WUV have- to let out all tl»e Indiana Federal officeholders. ,

How Mr. Henry happened to be appointed is interesting. Senatoi* Fairbanks was favorable to a man named Babcock, living north of Terre Haute, but the leader# in the south part of Indiana opposed Babcock, and the Senator waa losing a good deal of sleep over the situation. Henry bad a strong following, and the man most active in his behalf was Richard W. Thompson, hto father-in-law. It was suggested to Henry that he obtain from hi# father-in-law a request for the appointment. Mr. Thompson wrote two letter#, one to President McKinley and the other to Senator Fairbanks. saying that he had only one request of the administration, and that was the appointment of hjs son-in-law to the collectorship. And as is known, the request was granted.

Durbin, Governor-elect, 1# of the Damon and Pythias kind, and this has existed for year, Colonel Durbin having been reared near Salem, in Washington county This friendship was made stronger when Dr. Hobbs assisted in making Colonel Durbin national committeeman for Indiana. Colonel Durbin was a candidate for the place against E. H. Nebeker. and far a time it looked as if he were doomed to defeat. Sixteen votes were necessary, and he could muster only fifteen. He had made every effort to obtain the vote of Oscar H. '•Montgomesy. of Jackson county, without' success, and he finally wrote to his friend. Dr. Hobbs, about It. Dr. Hobb# and Montgomery were chums, and they got together at St. Louis. It required considerable persuasion, but finally Montgomery yielded. If there is anything that Dr. Hobb# wants and Colonel Durbin can get It for him, there is no question as to what the result will be.
