SIOUX CITY GETS THE FLAG.| Official Settlement of the Western Associa- tion Championehip Season. FOUR CLUBS WILL KEEP IT ON EARTH. Will Meet Again Next October—New York Downs Chicago as Usual —Hoston Won Ensily from Columbus, Kaxsas City, Mo,, Sept. 17, tives of tho Western Base Ball association met in spocial session here today. The meet- ine was a secrot one, At its conclusion Mr. Buckenbarger of Sioux City, who had acted as secrotary, handed the following report of the meeting to the Associated press repro- sentative: Kaxsas Crry, Mo, Sept. 17 of tho Waostern association held at the Mid- land hotel Soptember 17, 1501, at2p. m. there were present: Denver, by D). 5. Pack ard, president; Omaha, by W. H. McCore president; Sioux City, by R. E. Mulcahy and C. M. Buckenberger; ond Kansas Ci by John W. Speas and [, R. Martin. Tho Denvor club moved that tho season of 1801 be deemed and declared closed September 1 1891, at 6 p. m. The motion was carried. Yoas: enver, Sioux City, Omaha. Nays: Kansas City It was resolved that the association should romain intact and that cach of the clubs bo declared in full standing. The Omaha club announced itself in full life, with no thought of disbanding. The meeting adjourned to the regular annual meeting in Octot xt. After the meeting the president announced the averages of the several clubs and under this announcement the Sioux City club stands as the vennant winner, Mr. Speas objocted to closing the season and wanted to further contest the pennant race, but ho was outvoted, Of course tho Bioux City club wanted to ciose 50 as to in- puro its position. Omaha was anxious to be relieved of forfeited games at Denver and tho Denver club insisted that in justice to it no championship games should “be played elsownere when it was having nono at home. The many demands of tne Kansas City &lub for additionnl games to_sottlo tho rela- tive merits of that and the Sioux City club finally roused Mr. Mulcaby to consent to a series of exhibition games to be played at Kansas City on Saturday and isunday next, and at other points hereafter to be agroed on. Secretary Young was notified that'Sioux City as tho winner of the championship of the Wostern association was ready to play tho world's championship series with the winners of the pennant of the Nutional leaguo. They Don't-Like it. Kansas City protested against the decision of the meoting and will uppeal to the Na- tional Board of Control. T'be Kausas City managoment tolds that the season should coutinuo so long as any clubs survive, and that the championship should be fought by the survivors. Dexven, Colo., Sept. 17.—The report re- ceived here tonight from Kansas City that a moeting of the Western assoviation hed been held there today, at which D. C. Packard, prosident of tho Denver club, was present, and that tho season had been closed and tho pennant awarded to Sioux City, was a great surprise to Mr, Packard and Manager Sim W. Cantril. Both theso gentlemen are in this city, and neither were in attendance upon the reported Kansas City meeting. They are very indignant about the matter, and doclare that the entire affair is a schemo of the Kansas City, Sioux City and Omaha clubs to “‘do up' the Denver club. They de- clare that they aro ready to piay out the sea- son and are holding their men for this pur- pose. Telograms wore sent by Mr. Packard to- night to N. E. Young, president of the Na- tional league, and L. C. Krauthoff, president of the Western association, notifying them that hie had nover bean notified of the Kausas City meeting nor was he preseut as reported and tuat he will contest any club claimiug the peunant for the reason that the Denvers have won more and lost less games than an, other club 1n the association. Representa- -At a meeting MYSTERIOUS BASE BALL MEN. League Magnates Trying to Break Up the Association, - New Youk, Sept, 17.—A carnival of base ball mystery was begun by the leaguo mag- nates last night. This morning thoy met in parior F, Fifth Avenue hotel. Their object prumarily is to get rid of the American asso- clation if they can, but it thoy cannot, to lay out a policy for the establishment of a truce between the rival organizations. Jonn T. Brush of Indianapolis, the bare mention of whoso name strikes terror to the association’s heart, reached the Hoffman house last night. He was met by M. Stan- loy Robinson of Cleveland, who, until the arrival of his brother, Frauk D, Robinson, will look out for the interests of the Cleve- land club. Charles H. Byrne of the Brookiyn olub was also there. Suddenly the trio dis- appeared in the crowd and the base ball pub- 1lc will be compelied to walt in suspense intil their momentous labors are fimshed. It is an opon secret that Frank Robinson has been at work on Henry Von dor Horst to persuade the latter to bring the Baltimoro club into the league. Mr. Byrae has been toying with Chris Von der Alie to, according to s moruing paer, aceomplish the same end with the St. Louis. They aro very likely to succeed. 1f they do the association will be- gomo an easy proy for tho longue. Tho samo “system” used lnst fall in wining out the Players' league s now beink tried on the association. In case the vresent scheme falls, tho leaguo will continue its ‘‘poace committee” until such timo as their ends shall have been accomplished. A. H. Soden of the Boston club is also in town. The delegates to the National lenguo meet- g, after witnessing the game at Polo rounds, reassembled tonight at tho Firth venuo hotel and av the close of the session, a8 o matter of course, President Young said there was 1o news for publicatior, John Day said no business was transacted and that thoe delegates were only talking mat- ters over. 1t seems that the committoe appointed by tho league to confer with tho association re- garding a sottloment, Messrs. Byrne, Hart and Hrush, reportea that thoy had accomplised nothing. Tho association people 0 80 fearful of treachery in their own ranks that they hesitato to permit a commit- 100 to consult Wwith the league. It iy said on R00G authority that the league never had any sorious designs on Baltunore and St. Louis. Thoso cities would not play in the league. Besides if thov did jump there are plenty of other good cities ready to go into the associa- on. The debate hinges upon the advisability of conforring with the American assoclation, The Boston men, Conant and Soden, ure known to be opposed to a compromise and aro backed up by New York. Nearly oll the other ‘clubs are thought to be in favor of a compromise. Only two or threo of tho clubs are makiug mouoy this year and the rest are anxious for peace Brooklyn and Chicago are just a triflo nervous about the association’s threat to play twvouty-five cont games in thoso cities, The' situation in Boston is peculiar, The league club is uot making money. The asso- clation club, which many believe to be the best in the country, is proviug too much for the triumvirs, Perhaps the Boston league club will have to come down to 25 cents, Colonel John Rodgers would like to have a monopoly of the game in Philadelphia, but his case is not 4s serious as that of Boston, Tuere will be another meeting tomorrow.

Burlington Employes Believed to Have Met Death in Wyoming. Burraro, Wyo., Sept. 17.—[Special to Tu BrE.|—About seven weeks ago a few mem- bers of the Burlington & Missouri surveying party at work in the Stinking Water country in the Big Horn basin, botween Buffalo and the Yellowstone park, separated from the main body and undertook the hazardous feat of running a line through the Big Horn canon. Sinco thoy entered the wild worge nothing has been heard from them and their comrades aro greutly concerned about their welfare. Savo in winter, when the roaring river 1s partiully frozen over, no one has been known to successfully traverse this canon. Many have attempted it and paid for_their fool- hardiness with their lives.

PTEMBER 18, 1801 LOUISIANA'S - PET 0CTUPUS. Attorney General Miller Submits a Briof in the Lottery Oases, LOTTERY NOT A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT, United States Mails Cannot Be Used as a Net to Ald the Company to Citeh Suckers—So Good Points, Wastixatoy, . C., Sept. 17.—The case of the United States against John L. Rapier, and the two eases of the United Statos vs George Dupreo, will come up for argument at the October term of the United States su- promo court, Each of theso cases is an ap- plication for tho discharge, by writ of habeas corpus, from arrest for an alloged violation of the anti-lottery legislation of the United States, Tho charge against Rapier and against Dupreo, in one indictment, was tho mailing of a newspaper containing an adver- tisement of the Louisiana lottory, and the other indictment was for the mailing of & letter concerning the lottery. The judgment of the lower court was against the defond- ants and the cases wero appealed to tho su- preme court, Attorney General Miller has propared the brief, which he will submit in behalf of the rovernment when th cases aro heard, and he has given it out for publication. His bricf states that nearly fifteen yoars ago the exact question mooted in these cases, arising in the same way, was fully consid- ored and unanimously decided by the su- preme court, Since that time the principio of that decision had boen accopted by tho poople, by congross, by tho executive officers of the govornment and by the courts as the settied law of the land. In making this de- cision the court said: “The only question for our determination relates to the constitu- tionality of the act, and of that we have no doubt.” Ordinarily, under such circumstances, the attorney general says, it would seem that the question of tho constitutiovality of the legislation involved should be deemed set- tled. It sooms, however, otherwise. The revenues pourcd into the coffers of the Louisiana Lottery company by its witless victims aro too larg to be surrondered with- out another struggle, As was to be expacted in such a cause, the main effort of the counsel for tho petitioners in each. of the briefs seems to be to becloud the issue. To - this end their entire arguments assume that tho refusal of the general government to bo tho im- strument for the circulation of lot- tery literature is the same as forbiddiug the publication or circulation of such literature; that the only escapo from the viotation of tho prohuibition in the first amendment tothe federal constitution against makine “a law abridging the freedom of tho press,” is for every ofiicial of the Postoffice department to become the servant and every carrier the errand boy of tho Louisiana Lot- tery company. Thoy totally ignore the fact toat the sole effect of the act of congress is that the general government, its officers, em- ployes and agency shall in no way aid or abet this business: that its mailbags and the hands of its servants shall not be used in spreading and manipulating snares for its unwary victims; that it simply says to fed- eral officials, ““Hands off.” Regarding the assumption of counsel for defense that the rignt tooperate a lottery is one of tho fundamental rights of man, like tho right to exercise a profession, as a physi- cian, or a trade, s a laundryman, the attor- ney 'general says: *It would seom hardly worth while to spend timo upon an argument resting upon such assumption. 1f ivcan be demonstrated that to prey upon one's follow men by means of a lottery is a fundumental human right, the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount, not to mevtion the Declaration of Tndopendonce, ought to be rewritten at once." Wit reference to the contention of coun- sel, that the only plausiblo deferse of the lottery logislation is, that lottery is allogod 10 be of an immoral ‘and_injurious tendency, the attornoy general savs, that in doing this ho again assumes as his fundamental proposi- tion that inasmuch as congress cannov pass a Iaw diroctly suppressing lotterios in the stato, thereforo it cannot indirectly suppross them, and toerefore it must aid thom in tho transaction cf their business through the mails. “in'brief," says the attorney general, “T maintain, without fear of successful contra- diction, that whatever acts or enterprises congress has the power to make criminal in tho District of Columbia, or the terri- tories, 1t may refuse directly or indirectly to ald, encourago or abet i any state, with- out violating any obligation cither to’ citizen orstate. Any state may make the practico of this lottery company or even the posses- sion of its tickets within its borders with in- tent to sell, a orime, In the exerciso of this power of Idgislation in regard to the mails, as in the exercise of many of its other legis- lative powers, the attcruey general Lolds that congress has a very broad discrotion as to whether it shall act at all, and if so, when, and to what extent and for what purposo shull it act. The attornoy gencral thon argues to show that congress has the undoubted right to legislato for tha common good and say “Suppose a postal telegragh should bo es- tablished, is it true that tho United States government would bo under obligations to transmit over its telegsaph lines messages in voference toall business or practice not in- dictable at common law or not known to the law books as mala n se. Could it not, refuse to transmit telegeams boldly relating to gambling transactions, trading upon mar- #ins in wheat or stocks, or nogotiating tho purchase and sale of lottery ti Or in rogard to any other bus n, in the exercise of a sound discrotion, congross wight declare to be contra bonos moros. “I'submit that no judicial decision has been cited, that it is my belief that none can bo found, ‘denying to congress the power with reférenco to the mail with which wo aro contending.” Regarding counsel’s proposition, that the lottery statute is unconstitutional becsuse it is & law abridging tho freedom of tho press and is therefore at_varianco with the first amendment of tho constitution, the attorney general submits that no question under tho first amendment of the constitution is in issue in this case, nor can 1t be an issue, 80 far 'as the Louisiana lottery is concerned, until a stat- ute shall bo passed forbidding, not wmerely the circulation of papers, carrying it dvortisoments through the mails, but for- bidding the circulation of such newspapoers through any agency whatever. Tho real issue, arguos tho attorney genoral, 1s whether the United States government is compelled to become the agent of this lottory company, Upou the the theory of the petitioners’ ar- gument, all postal regulations by which lot- ters are given precedence over nowspapers in tho mails, even in timo of carriage and dis- tribution, are invalia. This is cortainly a discrimination sgainst the newspapers, It is abridging tho freedom of tho press. ‘Iere- foro the precedence given to lotters, pro- vided for' in tho roguiations, over newspa papers is intolerable, 151 violation of th first wmendment of the coastitution, and ealls for Immed iate redress. In conclusion_the attorney genoral says My undorstanding fs that the devisions not only of this court, but generally, hold that where & number of acts aro designated in the statute as constituting a particular orime, and as Lo some of such acts the legislauon is unauthorizod, the courts cannot be required to solect out such acts as are within the au- thority of the legislature aud enforce the law a5 to them, rejecting it as to the others.
