PLAYERS' NATIONAL LEAGUE, The Policy of the Now Organization ‘Will Be “American.” AN HONEST GAME PROMISED. The Emancipation of the White Slaves Procinimed and the Formrr Mag- nates of the hemond Told to Go to Now. Masters of Themaelves, New Youx, Nov. 4—The counsel of the Wotherhood base ball players, after an all day’s session, made public this evening a statement defining their position toward the National league. “Referring to their intention to embark in business for themselves next year, an ex- planation of the reasons is mude, which says in part: “There was a time when the name of the league stood for integrity and fair dealing. To-day it stands for dollars and cents. “Onice it. lovked to the elevation of the game and honest sport. To-day its eyes aro on the turnstile, Men have come into the bisiness with no other motive than to ex- ploit it for every dollur in sight. “Measures originully intended for the zood of the game have been perverted iuto instru- ments for wrong, ‘Lhe reserve rule and the provisions of the national awreement give the managers unlimited power, und they have not hesitated to use this in most arbi- trary aud mercenary wuys. Players bave been bought and soid and exchangod s it they were sheep. Reservation becamo with them another name for proverty right. By a combination among themseives stronger than tho strongest trust they were able to enforce the most arbitrary rules,and a player “ had either to submit or get out of the pro- fession in which he had spent years attain- ing proficiency.” ‘I he statement then details the labors of the brotherhood with the leakue mugnates for the past two years in a futile endcavor 1o remedy some of the eviis, aud says upon the final refusul this year 10 mect the brother- hood, the lavter began organiziug. “We believe,” suys tho statement, “that it is possible to conduct our pational game upon lines which will not infringe upon indi- vidual and national righs. Wo ask to be judged solely by our work, believing the game can be played fairly, and the business conaucted more intelligently under our plan, which excludes everything arbitrary and un- American.” The first annval meeting of the *‘Players’ National League,” as the new organization is called, will be held Wednesday, und the tlnal disposition of clubs snd players will be made. Brooklyn and Buffalo wi!l take the place of Indinnapolis und Washington, and the players of these clubs will be_distributed between Brooklyn, 13uffalo and Pistsburg. Chicago’s Horse Sale. CHrcaco, Nov. 4,—The combinution horse sale opened av Battery D to-day. Forty- eight head were sold for £13,110. The most importent sales wore Nuggot jr., by Nugget, 10 J. Volmer, Grand Ravids, Mich,, $2,000; Prince Septor, by Prince Ceps, to J. Wauds- worth, Alrona, Ia., $1,000, The American horse show at the Bxposition building is an unquuliitied success, the only drawback so far apparent being lick of room. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Inconsequentinl ting of Western Association. The annual meeting of the Western asso- ciation came to & close at Minneapolis Sunday night, but so far as any business of import- ance is concerned, the mecting might as well have never occurred. It was the sdme ola story—an apology for a meecting of so-calted minor league moguls. The stupendous piece of work of re-electing Dick McCormick, president of the agsociation, and Mike Roach, sporting editor of the St. Paul Pio- neer Press, secretary, ‘was suc- cessfully accomplished. Botn are first- class men, and that is all that is necessary to be said upon that head. Hesides this u board of directors and a schedule committee was appointed, and that wound up the proceed- 1gs of the meeting. A club to take the place of the St. Joe's ‘was not even selected, but. a brief canvass of the subject revealed that Lincoln could step 1 if shedesires. I'hat1s as much astosay that there were no applications from Detreit, ‘- ledo or any of the other cities that have been mentioned 80 frequently in this connection during the past moath, and even Lincoln is an uhcortainty, all of ‘which goes to show that the condition of the Western associa- tion is anything but @ satisfactory one, and the outlook is not what might be termed roseate. McCormick, of this city, ana Morton, of Minneapolis were appointed delegates 10 the minor ieagues meeting which is to be held in New York on the 11th. By that time the full intent and purpose of the tsrotherhood and National league will be kuown, and this knowledee may enable the minor magnates to determine upon a policy of their own. If the Brotherhood does launch forth upon its own hook, then it is all day with the minor bodies.and the sooner thoy sell out their players and realize what they can upon them the better it will be for those who have sunk money in these institutions. if the Broth- erhood is epabled to absorb all the players of the great Nauional league, what must she Dbo able to do with lesser bodies, She will say to the players-- such as she desires to fill out the comple- mentof the ewht teams—‘Come with us, we'll give you a good salury and plenty of protection.” Aud the piuyers will jump ikke & pack of sheep. ‘then what are the minor moguls going to do about it! Chey will have absolutoly 1o redress; they can only look pussively on, and heap impotent anathemas upon the powers that be. Such 18 the undeniabio statusof base ball affairs, and the prospects for a successful season in this ussociation are bad enough, indoed. the The Wrestling Exhibition, The wresting match between Tom Con- ners, the champion eatch-as-cutch-can artist of America, and Artbur Rotbery, of this oity, at the People’s theatre last evening, attractod o large and enthusiastic audicnce, and well were they repaid. The conditions of the contest were that Conners was to throw the local representative twice in twenty minutes or forfeit §250f his salary, and Rothery Jaid a wager of $0 with his opponent just béfore time was called, that nners would fail in his undertuking. Au- #usGilroy manipulated the fan in Con- mers’ corner, while Hilly Hawkins, the fam- ous St. Paul light weight, esquired Rotuery. E. Booth, yelept “Lorg,” was chosen time keeper and Saundy Griswold referee, Prowptly at 10 o'clock the men shook hauds and came togetner, The first bout ‘was short and sweet, Rothery planting both shoulders in the mattress 1o just threo min- utes and five seconds. The second bout, however, was a much better exnibition of skill and nee, Roth- ery dolug some very clever houd-svinning, and compelling his fnvineible adversary to work luboriously for twelve minutes and five seconds before, by main strength, he bore his shoulders to the carpet.

Those of the No_rt;:mst to Go Baok 20 DECIDED ON. NOVEMBER Onairman Walker Renders a Declaion Equatizing the Charges on Salt From Western Points— Other Railroad News. Northwestern Rates Fixed. Cmtoaao, Nov. 4.--[Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—At to-day’s meeting of the northwestern and western diyisions of the Western Freight association 1t was decided, taking effect November 20, to restore north- western rates to the old basis, This result was brought about by the acceptance of the proposition made in the New York éonfer- ence of the Canadian “Soo" and trunk lines. 1t advances through rates about 75 per cent. and local rates 88} per cent. The com- modity tariff, which quoted still lower rates locally, is also abrogated. The meeting was calied on account of an intimation by tho trunk lines that they aid not propose to be ‘“‘monkeyed with. This intimation was brought about @by the refusal of the wuorthwestern lines a week ago to raise the rates in accordance with the trunk lines' proposition. It had the effect of whipping the obstreperous north- wostern roads into line and forcing them to, advance. The lust meeting failed to agree because the St. Paul roud had issued a large quantity of transit at 73§ cents, This transit was the only bone of contention to-day. It wus finully agreed that n case ehiprers should offer to pay non-transit roads in St Paul transit it could be accepted at the 7i¢ cent rate, but the St. Paul would redeem it at 9 cents. I'ne St Paul, of course, would be allowed to redeem its otwn transit at 7§ cents, Beginning November 20 the flour rate will consequently be advanced to 10 cents, except to the holders of the transit priviloges, ‘L he through rates agreed on from New York and Boston to St. Paul and Mione- apolis via all lines are as follows: $1.15, $1.00, 80 conts, 5% conts, 48 cents and 40 cents on the six classes according to official classification. ‘'he local rates from Chicago to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota Transfor is as follows: 1, 60 cents; 2, 50 cents 40 centa 4,25 cents; b, 20cents; A, nts; 1, 20 cents: C, 17 cents; D, 14 cents; I, 18 cents. Steps were also taken to restore rates to Mississippi river points, which had been lowered as far as Burlington in sympathy with the low St. Paul rates. It was also decided to restore rates in Wisconsin and and between all other points where rates had been reduced by reason of the 60-cent scale bet n Chicago and St. Paul. A committee was appointed to revise the existing rates in order that proper and equitable conditions ht prevail with re- spect to rate adjustment generally. A Rather Fresh - uniect. Cnicaco, Nov. 4.—(Special Telegram to Tar Bre]—For a year or moro there has been a determined attempt made by the Kausas salt airectors to put themselves on a level with Michizan and eastern salt-pro- ducing points. Naturally the western roads tried to favor the Kansas points, and the result has been a constant clashing of rates. Funally, on Ontober 25, the whole matter was referred to Chairman Walker, of the Inter-Stato Commerce Railway association, for hrbitration. To-day he gave his decision, fixiog rates from Chicago to all western points, and _from Hutchinson aud other ' salt-producing pomnts in Kansas, which, as nearly as possible, equalizes the rates on salt between all western points, no matter where the salt originntes. “The rates established aro. final for four months, but may bo_changed 1f shown un- just, us the result of the coming four months’ shipments. From Chicago a rate of 15 cents to all Missouri river points is made. From Kansas salt producing points to the same points rates varying from 113 cents to Kan- sas City and 18 cents to Sioux City are also established. Lookmg lor u New Pacific Outlet. New Yorg, Nov. 4.—A local paper says the rumor was prevalenv to-day that Presi- dent Perkins, of the Burlington road, was in the city conferring with several of the directors on a matter pertaining w0 the recent now combinatious in the west. Director Griswold was seen and said this was not the case; that President Perkins and several directors are now in the west engaged in looking for a new outlet to the Pacific coast since learning of the Union Pacific- Northwestern combination. Griswold said did not think the new arrancement would hurt the California business of the Burling- ton much, 18 they can transfer its business 10 the Southera Pacific, They can further compete with the combination by reducing rates between Denver and Chicago, and will probably do o, A Fake Exploded.

She decleres that women do not govern themselves, andl %re incapable of guverning others, and dd{; that this is proven by the poor breeding, of American children, the wothers having no influence over them.

If woman suftrage be the acme of femulo desire, then Mormon thuocracy shoula be the ideal government.” To prove the inability of women to see their own good, she cites the resolutions adopted at a muss meeting of women in Salt Lake City, in which women said Mormonism was the only reliable safaguard of female wvirtue and innocence, and the only sure pro- toction against the featful sin _of prostitu- tion. ‘‘These treasonable resolfitions,” Miss Tield continued, ‘‘were cheered by nearly six thousand women, and were unanimously adopted. In addition, a petition signed by a large number of women, was sent to Wash- ington, protesting against congressional in- torfercnce against what—a theocracy that had abolished the right of dower, that bad _ proclaimed polygamy to bo divine, that had no laws against bigamy, adultery, formeation or in- cest. ‘What women have done for politics south of Mason and Dixou’s line, history records, What northern women are doing is snown by the well organized body of energctic and aggressive women known as the ‘Woman's Christian Temperance Union,’ who mistake hysterical sentimentality. for morality, ‘and whose knowledge of tho English language is as limited as their knowledge of human na- ture, Thus far in our history, women have exerted a baleful influence on politics—first, a8 giving aid and comfort to rebellion; se ond,as consolidating a polygamous theoora third, as belng the prime movers in passing sumptuary laws, as intcmporate as they are unrepublican, and which beget lying, hypocrisy and cowardice. Southern women during the rebellion were governcd by passion; Mormon women ave actuated by a debasing religion; femule prohibitionists are controlled by porsonal suffering or by sentimental fanaticism. “That women will eventually exert a be- nign influence on politics 1 do not doubt, but that blessed era will not arrive until preju- dice and feeling yield to reason, and knowl- edee of the world is basea on a more ex- tended observation than can be obtained by revolving round the family teacup.” THE PAN-AMERICANS, They Make a Pilgrimage to the Grave of Henry Clay 4 Lexixaros, Ky, Nov. 4.—The intorna- tional Americap cxcursionists took carriages this morning for Ashland, the home of Henry Clay.

Des Moixes, I, Nov. 4.—The State Reg- ister (republican) say Yowa votes to- morrow for governor and other state oflicors, and for members of the legislature, who are to elect a United States senitor to succeed Mr. Allison, This last 'fact bas given the campaign some national features, both par- ties having discussed the tariff issues to a greater or less extent. Aside from this, the main fight has turned upon prohibition, the democrats claiming it was a failure and the republicans that it is to be regarded as the settled policy of the state until a major- ity of the people demand a change. The campaign, however, has been of less interest on both sides than usual, and a rather light vote is expected to-morrow. Besides the republican and democratic tickets, the union labor party has a ticket out, which may re. oceive five or six thousand votes. A few straggling votes will probably be cast for the prohibition ticket, but the third party, as it is called, is not popular in lowa.

Hutchisou bas been outspoken in favor of prohibition, and this invited whatever autagonism tho opponents of this policy can muster. Mr. Perkins does not think that Hutchison’s majority will be as large as that of Governor 1.arrabec two years ago, becauso the opbressive force of the contest for legal control of railroad charges was then at its height. He expects the republican majority on joint ballot in the legislature to be in- creased, rendering certain the re-election of Senator Allison. Asa matter of fact, Mr. Perkins says, the only fight is over the sa- loon question, and the vote against prohibi- tion 1n nearly all the larger cities is likely to show an increase. In the rural districts tho sentiment in favor of prohibition is generally increased. Dusuque, Ia, Nov. —M. M. Ham, formerly member of the democratic national commitie for lowa, in an interview this evening, said that the coming election is the most douvtful of any held i lowa for thirty- five years, Most of the democrats expect to elect Boies, and the republicans, as a rule, are more frightened than they have ever been before. The reaction from prohibition is great, and the stand of the aruggists, farmers’ alliance, and working men are all encouraging to the democrats. Hopeful re- ports have been received from all parts of the state, and great disaffection has boen shown among republicans, while the demo- crats are solid. Davexport, 1a., Nov. 4. Richard- son, Towa member of the national demo- cratic cominittee, was asked this morning by an Associated Press representative for his views on the outcome of to-morrow's election in this state. Mr. Richardson said that during the past week Le had received advices from all parts of Iowa of a most assuring kind. Eoough changes are being noted, if the correspondents are not mis- informed, to overcome the majority given Governor Larrabee two years ago. Iu this part of the state, Mr. Richardson said, many republicans declare that they will vote for the democratic nominee, Boies, on account of his pledged opposition to pronibitory legislation. Mr. Richardson is confident of tne defeat of the republican state ticket, und particularly its head, Senator Hutchinson. More Democratic Lying. Des Morxes, Ta., Nov.4.—|Special Tole- gram to THE Bek.|—The democrats are claiming that ex-Governor Kirkwood wiil vote for Mr. Boies, on account of his dislike for prohibition. A dispateh from Iowa City, Mr. Kirkwood’s home, savs tho story is false, with no foundation whatever. It is a specimen eof the democratic lying that is closing up the campaign. The so-called leading republicans whom the democrats are now claiming us rely an exception, men who left the party several yoars ago, either because of probivition or free trade. 1x-Senator Bills, of Davenport, @ man who hasn’t voted a straight republi- can ticket for five years, is a conspicuous example of this class. 2'be indicati night are favorable for at leasv 10,000 or 12,000 republican vlurality to-morrow. A Struggle with Highwaymen. Des Moixes, I, Nov. 4.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—A special from Grand Junction reports a desperate affray that took place there Saturday night.
