Prospects of the Leading Base Ball Associations Compromising. INDIANA’S NEW ELECTION LAW. Discussing the Revision of the Presbyterian Creed. BEQUEST TO A RICHMOND RETREAT. —_—e—_ AN INFORMAL CONFERENCE, Brotherhood and League Repr2senta- tives Discussing a Compromise. New York, Oct. 9.—An informal conference between the rival base ball magnates was held atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel last night. Albert G. Spalding and John B. Day of the National League, and Albert L. Johnson, Wendell Good- winand Edward B. Talcott of the Piayers’ League, were present. The conference was arranged for by Mr. Allen W. Thurman of Columbus, Ohio, who, however, did not atteud the meeting. The conference began at 9:15, and at an early hour this morning the gentie- men above named were still discussing the de- tails of a compromise, THE LEAGUE MEETING. The National Base Dall League were out in full force this morning at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and some talk was heard of a confer- ence with the Players’ League. Most of the delegates to this special meeting had arrived before noon, but were reticent when questioned on the probable outcome of the convention. Quict conferences and “quiet talks” have been indulged in between the national folks and representatives of the Players’ League during the week and it was ex- pected that upon the assembling of the deie- gates today —_ everything would __ be cut ond dried for the deal. Early | arrivals, however, asserted that matters | were unsettled and that it would take consider- able time to unravel the tan; It was even denied that a conference on the subject had been held ast night, This meeting, it was as- certained. did take place, and that it will have au important bearing on the action of the league is undoubted. WHAT SPALDING BAYS. W. A. G. Spalding 4s responsible for the statement that all were satisfied that some- thir must be done, and that soon, for the Lenetit of the game and the capitalists who have their money invested, The outcome, he thought, would be the appointment of a com- mittee by the league to confer with a commit- tee from the players’ organization. The meeting today was set down for noon and though at that ime all the delegates but | two had arrived, the convention was not called. | From present indications it will be late in the afternoon when the delegates assemble. Among the delegutes are N. E. Young, president; G. Spalding, Chicago; John B. Day ew York; W. A. Nimmick and J. Pal: ittsburg: John J. Rogers and mer O'Neil. J. each, Philadelphia; W. P. Sowders, Boston; C. J. Doyle, Brooklyn, and F. D, Robinson and W. A. House, Cleveland. The general opinion of the delegates on the consolidation a ct is that the National League has had the best of the fight and that if any concessions are to be | made it should come from the players. Later.—The League went into session at 1:30 this afternoon, A number of the American Association people stood in the corridors, aux- ious to learn of result of the League's de- hberation. It wil! severely affect their inter- ests if this amalgamation goes into effect. Among the American Association representa- tives present were Barnie of Baltimore, Von der Ahe of St. Louis, Bowers of Rochester, Allen Thurman, . of Columbus and Vonder- horst of Baltimore. Arumor prevailed that the American Associa- tion would have a conference with the league people, but few gave the rumor any credence. cts INDIANA’S ELECTION LAW. The State Supreme Court Decides One Section Unconstitutional Ispraxapotts, Ixp., Oct. 9.—In an opinion handed down here the euprome court decides that section 13 of the Australian election law passed by the last legislature is unconstitn- | tional, On some of the questions the opinions of the judges are unauimous, but on some oth- ers theyare not, All the judges agree that the legislature cannot add to the qualifications of voters, and that the provisions requiring ninety days’ residence in the county and that voters shall be tax payers are unconstitutional aud void. In the opinion of the court, written by Judge Olde, it is held that under the Coustitution the legislature may pass a general registry law. but cannot passa partial one, That the legis- latnre a longer residence than that prescribed by the Constitution; that rce- tion thirteen isa partial registry law and that it does add to the constitutional requirements of voters, Judge Mitchell in a separate opinion holds that the provisions of section 13, which re- quire a revidence in the county of ninety duys, are invalid, and so are those requiring voters to be tax payers, but that other pro- sions of the act are valid, dudge Eilott also filed a separate opinion. The decision affects section 13 alone and no other. AT WORK ON REVISION, Progress of the Presbyterian Committee at Pittsburg. Pirtesvna, Oct. 9.—The committce working on the revision of the Presbyterian coufession of faith is still nt work and are just as quiet as ever about their deliberations. They have only fairly begun on their work and they can seo along, tedious job before them. So far everything has been harmonious and the cum- mittee is as yet unit on the work. The work, as far as it has progressed, has ‘on a very conservative line, The radical revisionists aro held in check by the ‘antis” and thus those favoring a conservative change have the advantage. At present indicatious another session of the committee will be held before the week is finished, but that session will not be held Pittsburg. It will be held further east or west, wherever the majority of the committee choose. The present session will last about a week yet and the next session will probably not be callod until January or February. —2— COMPLETING THE SURVEYS. Pushing Plans of the Ship Canal of the Keystone State. PirrssunG, Oct. 9. ‘The surveys of the Penn- sylvania ship canal ero practically finis commission find the scheme feasible and favor a ronte along the Beaver river to Lake Erie. The commission as a body havo notas yet given any figures as to what it would cost to build the canal, but as individuals they have admitted it would cost as much if not moro than the Welland cattal, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. ‘The cost to the Canadian government for this great waterway was something like $25,000,000, and several members of the canal commission have figured that it will surely require this amount to con- struct it at the lowest figures, 2 At its previous meeting the commission dis- cussed the merits of the Welland canal, a visit having been made to Canada by sevoral en- gin nd figures on the amount of tonnage yearly on the above canal were secured. The commission figured from this that the tonnage on tho proposed water way to Lake Erie would 8 greater annually, estimating ity of vessels in use on the an those that are to be used on The Result in New Mexico.

A REVISED REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE COMMIT- TEE—OBJECTIONS MADE TO PRINTING THE RE- PORT NOT SUSTAINED BY THE SYXOD—DR. AL- BERT SPEAKS OX HOME MISSIONS, President Studebaker and the delegates to the convention of the Maryland Lutheran synod turned up bright and early this morning at Memorial Church. Rev. L. E. Deyoe led a short devotional exercise. The Church of Reformation of Baltimore and the Lutheran Church of Braddock, Md., were admitted to the synod on favorable reports from the committees of examination, DIRECTORS OF GETTYSBURG SEMINARY. ‘The election of directors of the theological seminary at Gettysburg then occurred. Two clerical and three lay directora were to be elected. Tho balloting resulted in the election of Rev. Dr. Hennighausen of Baltimore and Rev. Dr. Victor Miller as the clerical directors and Dr, W. K. Butler, asonof Dr. Butler of Memorial, Mr. J, M. Miller of Knoxville and J. Bickler of Hagerstown as lay directors. Dr. Diehl of Frederick, Md., was re-elected by acclamation trustee of the pastors’ fund, PRESIDENT STUDEBAKER. Dr. Butler offered a resolution which he did not desire considered at this convention, but thought that it should be referred to acommit- too and considered next year, ‘The resolution rovides for an apportionment, the amount left. blank, among the churches, which sum should be used in entertaining the synod at its annual convention, ‘fbe resolution was so re- ferred, THE CATECHI8M QUESTION. Dr. Valentine presented the amended report on the provisional catechism, The report was yesterday referred back to the committee for alteration, several members o>jecting to the sweeping general criticisms which it contained, ‘The revised report was read and many of the ‘al criticisms were found to have been en out. he question of what was to be done with the report came up. Mr. Kuhiman moved that the report be r&b ceived and spread on the minutes, and that the gencral committee in charge of the eat be asked to allow due weight to the crtici: Dr, Owen moved to amend 60 as to pr: that the report be simply referred to the gen- eral committee without being spread on the minutes, DR. VALENTINE SURPRISED. Dr. Valentine expressed his surprise at the objection to printing this report in the min- utes, No plansible reason for this objection had been advanced, he said, and he did not understand the matter, ‘The general synod had plainly asked the opinion of the churches and synods on this provis- ional catechism not for the use of the com- mittee which had _ furnished its work, but for the benefit of the general synod itself, ‘These opinions were to aid the general synod in forming its opinion of the new catechism, The gencral committee would have nothing further to do with the catechism unless the general synod directed the committee to revise the work. DR. OWFN’B REASONS, Dr. Owen disclaimed any partisanship in this matter. The question of referring this cate- chisia to the several churches was brought up at the general synod at the request of the com- mittee on the stbject. The general synod had never asked this information directly, but the committee had asked it. In regard to printing the report in the minutes he thought that ,in fairness to the book and in fairness to the committee who had prepared it, one side of the question should not be printed in the minutes without aliowing any reply of any sort from the other side, The question was also discussed by Dr. Diehl. He thonght the report was an able document as a review or acriticism of the ut he did not think the report should ad on the minutes. It was a document which he thought should go to the general committee and should also be put in the hands of the Muryland delegates to the general synod, Dr. Butler said ho could not understand why anybody objected to printing the report, would be a rank and unheard-of discourtesy to the committee to refuse to print its report. He wanted a copy of that report aud he supposed every delegate in the room wanted a cop: was duc to the committee, to Dr. Valentine, to the, synod, to the catechism and to the church that this report be printed on the minutes, DR. ALBERT DEFENDS THE CATECHISM, Dr. Albert, as a member of the general com- mittee which had prepared the catechism, de- fended that work. The provisional catechism had been sent out to receive the views of n isters,so that the committee couid present to the general synod such amendments as would make the book acceptable to the synod. He did not think one side of this uestion should be spread on the minutesof the Maryland synod, Tho criticism would be of the greatest benefit to the general commictee and tothe Maryland delegates to the general synod. DR, DOMER IN FAVOR OF PRINTING. Dr. Domer favored the report of the com- mittee and thought it should be printed.
