THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN ESDAY, JA lARY 14, NAY REPUDIATE BALL PACT Four Eastera Olubs Baported Unwilling to Ratify Cincinnati Treaty. NATIONAL LEAGUE UKELY TO SPUT Adverse Vote on Agreemen and P ceptance of Johnsow' to Disrupt C irenit Plan. CINCINNATI, O, Jan. 13.—When the conferees of the Nationsl and American Base Ball leagues adjourned here last Sat- urday night nothing w heard but declara- tions peace The National conferees wére as confident as the American, although the former did not have plenip power. Since then, however, representa tives of the New York, Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia National clubs have pro- tested.- Should these four bold out mext Monday agninst the Ditts- burg, Cincinnati, Chicago end St Louls clubs the result would be a tie, which is held to be the same as 3 negative vote. ‘When it was announced on urday night that the agreement then reached was prac- tically final it was thought that Barney Dreyfus was representing Philadelphia ae well as Pittsburg, but Colonel Rogers and other Philadelphia interests are represented now as saying that Dreyfus bad mo power to bind them. At the close of last week's conference the conferees were so confident of & majority that thep insisted that the ratification would be urfipimous after they talked the matter oyer with the eastern owners. What {§ taken now ‘o be a most signif- cant declaration is that made by Manlon of the Brooklyn club, who says “The peace agreement cannot be ratified by & majority vote of National league club o®ners. The National league has a consti- tution which will not allow a majority to do something distasteful to a minority.” Notwithstanding the adverse reports that are current, Herrmann snd Robison say they are still confident that the National league will ratify the agreement next Monday Soden of Boston is counted on for ratifica- tion, although he may mot be satisfied. J. B. Bruce, sttorpey for President Ban R Sohnson of the America: league did Dot ratify the peace compaet the Cincinnati club would be taken care of. It New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston should refuse to enpter into the &greement 1t 1s sald there will be & split in the National league which will result in the owners desiring peace with the Ameri- can Jeague on the basis agreed upon jolaing bands with the American league and com- pletely severing all connection with that branch of the league reported by the ob- jocting faction. The plan suggested by President Johnson of a tem-club cirouit might be carried out by baving the westera circult made up of Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and Cleveland, and the east. ern division of Boston, New York, Philadel. vhia, Washington and Pittsburg. WERCER TURNS ON THE GAS|um Base Ball Pitcher is Found Dead in His Room in San Fran- cisos Hotel. BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—Winnle D, Mercer, the pitcher of the All-Amerfcan base ball team, registered at the Occldental hotel last evening - and was found e phyxiated in his room this morning. + Mercer. was, ragistered undercthe U George Murray and gave his as Philadelphia. The watchman of the hotel, in making his rounds, detected the odor of gas coming from Mercer's room, and, failing to receive a response to his H.D. Reea knock, broke down the doér. Clad in his clothes and lying in the bed with his coat and vest covering his hesd, Mercer was found. From the gas jet in the center of the room was suspended a rubber tube and the end of this Mercer had placed in his mouth after turning the gas full on. What catmed Mercer to end #is life is unknown. Mercer's identity was establshed by papers found smeng bis effects, one of which read “Tell Mr. Van Horh of the Landbam botel that Winnie Mercer has taken hik ute.” Merce: was & sufferer from pulmbnary troubles, and as the disease reftsed to yield to treatment, he became despondent. Mer- ocer left & etatement of his fnancial me- counts, showing thut he did not owe & cent in the world. Mercer was very popular with his fellow players on the All-American team and with — e AN OBJECT LESSON In 6 Restaurant. A physiclan puts the guery: Have you Sever noticed in any large restaurast at funch or dluper time the large number of bearty, vigorous old men at the tables; men whose ages run from 60 to 50 years; many of them bald &nd all perbaps gray, but none of them feable oF renile? Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an object lessop which means something. It you will notice what these hearty old feliows are cating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their way throufh a menu card of ew fangled bealth foods; onm the conmtrary, they seem to prefer & juicy roast of beef, & properly ‘turned loin of mutton and even the deadly broiled Jobster is not altogether | tgnored The point of all this is that a vigoreus old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upen dieting and an endeavor to Mve upon bran erackers. There is & certaln class of food cranks who seem. to beljeve that meat, coffee and many other good things are rank polsons, but these cadaverous, sickly looking in- dividuals are a walking condemnation of their own theories. The matter in & nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient guantity any wholesome feod will be promptly digested if the stomach does not do 8o, and certain foods cause distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsiz Teblets ufter each mea! will re- move all dificulty because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro-chiorio acid, diastase and nux.

While the Vest resolution directing the committee on finance to feport a bill removing the duty on coml was under discursion Mr Dolliver (Ia.) vigorously attacked thbse senators responsible for holding up reci- | procity treaties 4n the senate. He de- fended Secretary Shaw's order instructing collectors of customs to decide differences in the grades of coal in favor of the im- porter. w 1 Blame Adm The resolution wemt over until tomorrow after Mr. Tillman (8. C.) had given notice that he would then “string & live wire™ tration. and lay the blame for the present coal sit- | uation at the door of the president and attorney general Mr. Nelson (Minn.) concluded his remarks in opposition to the statebeod bill and at 4:10 the senate went into executive mes- sion, adjourning soon afterward. Soon after the senate met Mr. Jomes (Nev.) favorably reported the resolution of Mr. Stewart (Nev.), authorizing the commitiee on the District of Columbia to send for withesses In conmection with the coal investigation, to admiuister oaths and to compel the attendance of witnesses if necessary. The resolution was agreed to. Consideration of the Vest resolution di- recting the finance committee to prepare and report a bill removing the duty om coal was then resufned Mr. Dolliver (Ia.) defended the orders of Secretary Shaw, which were issved last fall and imstructed collectors of customs to resolve all reasonable doubts in favor of the importer. Mr. Dolliver then discussed the effort made to secure reciprocity treaties and said congress had not given the nego- tiations the ordinary courtesy of casual consideration. He took up the allegation made against Mr. Dinglep and said sar- castically that Mr. Dingley bad been charged with the hideous crime of baving 80 arranged the tariff schedule in the law ©of 1897 as to furnish the basis for reci- procity arguments. “It is true” he de- clared, “that in the bill which he had re- ported from the committee on ways and means he did put duties up for the express purpose of having them traded down." All Europe Does I When such & work as thaf is condemned as infamy, he said, against which the mem- ory of Mr. Dingley ought to be defended, he could mot see the restraint of conscience to stand in the senate and say there is nothing infamous about it. “It is the scheme,” he continued, “that is in practice in every government in Burope.” 1t it is Decessary for manufacturers to rise in the senate to defend Mr. Dingley's memory against the charge which had been made, “where,” he asked, “is the advocate that shall defend the memory of the con- gress of 18977 The reciprocity provision in'the Dingley act was as @istinctly ® part of the tarift policy of the United States as the coal echedule. * More violence had been done to the pro- tective aystem by the stolid, gulet, uncom- municative faflure of the semate to take action upon the reciprocity treaties than by all the noise that had been made by the dekmocrats about coal. “I do not intend to sit quieily in this chamber,” be dsclered, “while it is said to be infamous that amy- body should have chanced to entertain the notion that & tariff schedule once framed could pot be honorably modified by sensible negotiations. It remains a reproach to the congress” he said, “that not one line of the wisdom of James G. Blaine remains on the statute book and not ome attempt | bas been made to fulflll the Purpose snd spirit of the late Buffalo address of Presi- dent McKinley.” Mr. Aldrich (R. L) replied to ¥r. Dolliver, | saying that it would be better for the mem- ory of the man who negotiated the recipro- city treaties, Mr. Kasson, If they were passed Over in silence and never acted on. He declared that the intention of the reci- procity section of the Dingley act was to make sagreemenls upon non-competitive products. He never expected that a repub- |lican administration would negotiate treaties which struck at the heart of pro- tection, which was the bulwark of re- publicanism. Mr. Tillman (8. C.)'gave notice that be would tomorrow speak on the coal situa. tion and would “put the blame for the present deplorable condition where it be- | longed, upon the president of the United States and his attorney general At 2 o'clock the Vest resolution went over until tomorrow and the omnibus state- hood bill was taken up. At 4:10 the senate went into executive session and shortly afterward adjourned. TALX POLITICS IN HOUSE Grosvenor and Clark Discuss Chances of Demeocratic Vietory Next Year, WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—For the first time since the opening of the session the house was regaled today with s lvely political debate.
