KBritishers Betting 6 to 1 on Smith Against Jackson, vv; , - CARROLL'S CHALLENGE TO MEIER. sEesnIts of the Eastern and Southern Ennnins Meetings. GENERAL SPORTIM i'EWS OP THE DAI President Ximick makes some significant statements about Manager Eanlon and the ijlocal League club. The battle between 'Smith and Jackson takes place on Uovem 'ber 12, and the betting is 6 to 1 on Smith. Carroll challenges Meyer to fight for $10,000 a '"side. "There were some good running races at Nashville and Elizabeth. . The prominent part which Ed. Hanlon, manager of the local ball club, is alleged to hare taken in trying to ruin the League, was the general theme of comment among local baseball enthusiasts yesterday. The writer had a lengthy interview with Presi dent Kimick on the matter yesterday after soon, and the latter said: ?I absolutely refuse to believe a word of the story, as far as Hanlon is concerned. I think he in too much of a jrentleman to play fast and loose or two-faced in any way with us." "Has he. ever spoken to you about the Brotherhood?" . "Olwtny! yes. He has talked quite frankly to me about It, and has plainly given me to un derstand that nobody knows what will be done until after Monday's meeting." "Has he ever intimated that it is possible, he.will not be managerof the Pittsburg League club next year?" HASIOS'S PEOMISE. "Not at all. On the contrary, he has given me to decidedly understand that he will be our manager next year, ana we believe Ed to be perfectly honest and a gentleman. He has never even hinted that anything may transpire to prevent his continuing as our manager. The truth is we had several conversations about our club for next year, and he has explained to me what he intends to do and what ho does not Intend to do with the club and the players. In short, wc have had some interesting talks about oarjilans for next year. These talks have cer tainly been on the assumption that he will be our manager. No. in the face of this I cannot believe that he led us to believe that he would remain here as manager and at the same time was determined on trying to break up our team. I think be is too square a man to do a mean thing like that. At any rate we are pre pared to trust Hanlon rather than believe those wild stories." Tf.lt turns out to be true that the Brother hood will not even accent any concessions from the League, but will at all hazards start a new organization, what will you do in Pittsburg?" "Why, we'll have a club here as usual and a good one. That is just as sure as we live. There are any amount ot players in the country and.good ones at that. The young players are nil earnestly wishing that the Brotherhood my start its-dubs o that they'll get a chance. But we'll get lots of the old players also. How- ever. 1 feel confident 'from what I know that the players will present X SILL OF GEIEVAXCES to the League and I am just as confident that the League will grant everything that is fair and reasonable and that will not tend to ruin the game. I read in The Dispatch this morn ings statement to the effect that, the players ""Vb'uldtfemand a reserve rnle that would keep a player no longer than four years in a club against his will. I think well of a rule of that kind. I think it is fair to both parties, but I don't expect that the players will ever ask that no old player be not released during a season without getting his full sea son's salary. A demand of this kind wonld ceztainlv be exceedingly unreasonable, and would do more injnry to the national game than the public bas'any idea of. Why if a rule like that were in force a player could almost do as he likes during nearly an entire season. Of , course the time of meeting is getting very near, and I wish to repeat that the National League will patiently listen to all complaints -and be quite prepared to grant everything that is fair. 1 am also inclined to believe that the players have common sense enough not to make any extravagant demands." MAKING NEW LEAGUES. Harry T. Emltb Tells Abont Schemes for Next Tear. Harry T. Smith, the baseball authority of Youngstown, O., was in the cityyesterday. He is up to the head in business trying to organize two or three minor leagues for next season. In talking about the prospects he said: "I have gotten the Tri-State League reor ganized and next year the league will consist of Canton, Mansfield, Akron. Stenbenville, Youngstown, Springfield, Dayton and Wheel ing. I am now trying to get a league organized in Western Pennsylvania and part of New York, to embrace such cities as Olean. Brad ford, Jamestown and Erie. I think either three or five good cities will be secured and an excellent league formed. In my travels I have found that there are plenty of ball players to get, bnt the general difficulty is to get a suf ficient number of capitalists to put up the money. When I have succeeded in getting the league ln'question made secure I am going to visit Oshkosh and other places in that section to organize a league there." Daffy slakes a. Kick. .Mr. Palmer O'Ncil, of the local baseball club, was in the city yesterday. During a talk on League and Brotherhood matters he said that Hugh Duffy, the little right fielder of the Chi cago club, threatens to leave the Brotherhood. Daffy states that according to the Brotherhood Idea he will get 2,000 for the season, while Fred Pfeffer will get $3,500. Duffy is not willing to stand this little difference. Mr. . O'Neil further states that there are com plaiiiings because it is intended to make White "captain of. the Pittsburg team and relieve ' Hanlon. Duffv and others who kick abont there little differences la salaries ongiit to re member that Pfeffer and one or two others'are getting old and consequently are making them selves Brotherhood magnates. They must be ipaia for this. Gambert's Complaint. In speaking of the Brotherhood yesterday, A. C. Uumbert, the Chicago club pitcher, said: "We want to stop new players from running us. Take Earl's case, for instance. The Chi cago clnb gave him a try in the early part of last Season. He paid half of his own expenses from the East to Chicago. In a short time the clnb let him go, and he signed with a Weftera dub. Paying one's own traveling expenses is a bad precedent, and we want to stop it before it becomes a custom."

New Yobk, October 31 Jacob Schaefer has succeeded in awakening a discussion among the billiard cracks who are anxious to compete in the proposed international tourney abont the relative merits of the balk-line measurement handicap and a handicap by a discount of points in the proposed contest. William Sex ton seems inclined now to side with Schaefer in favor of the latter system of handicap. Slosson. on the other hand, is enthusiastic on the subject of a handicap of 14-inch to 10-inch. He says that it is calculated to afford a better exhibition ot billiards to those who pay to see professionals play, and adds that the public in terest is materially decreased and the pecuniary success of a tournament correspondingly af fected in an adverse way by handicapping of' players by a discount of points.

Mdbfhv, of Johnstown, offers to meet John TJbil at this office and make a match fight with ' gloves or bare knuckles. The approaching fistic contest between Hayes and Gillon will not be with bare knuckles by any means, and they will . not box in this city. If the .Brotherhood should plant a club in Philadelphia and another In Brooklyn the kindest regards of the American Association may not be expected. Twenty thousand pounds sterling was the price refused by Chevalier Ginistreilli for Signorina, after that filly's success in the Middle ParV Plate last week.

A BLOW TO THE CATTLE INDUSTRY. Stock Raisers Bar the Sale of Indlnn Lands ' Would Ruin Their Business. Kansas City, November 30. Secretary Noble's instructions to Commissioner Fair child, concerning the negotiations to be car ried on with the Cherokee Indians for the sale of the Cherokee strip and the published interview with Chief Mayes, in which the statement was made that the Indians wonld likely accept the Government's offer, are cansing the lessees of the land .ranch un easiness. Colonel Snyder, a member of the Cherokee Live Stock Association, says that the association will obey the Government's order to move if the Govern ment succeeds in buying the lands. The company would be lorcea, he thinks, to dis solve. He also thinks, however, that the Indians will not care to sell at 1 25 per acre to the Government when there are at least three cattle companies who are ready to pay nearly three times as much. It is his opinion that Chief Hayes was misquoted when he was reported as saying that he would recommend the acceptance of the Government's offer. Another member of the company said the loss to the cattle men would be enormous. The cattle market was already glutted, and when the great numbers of cattle in the strip were forced to sale, prices would decline to such an extent as to paralyze the cattle industry through out the whole country. TOO MAX! OP BIS KIND. Why Eloper Lederer Donsn't Fear Being Prosccated for Bigamy. rSrZCLU. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 PHiLADELPHiAi October SO. George Lederer, who eloped with Florrie New combe, and who has been indicted by the New Xork courts for bigamy, was seen at the Chestnut Street Theater to-night. He said his counsel had forbidden him to talk about the case. "But," he added, "yon may say. for me that when the people on the other side get through throwing their venom and invective at me I will explode a bomb that will startle New York." "What is the bomb, Mr. Lederer?" asked the reporter. "I do not feel at liberty to tell you, in view of the injunction of my counsel. I do not believe, however, that I will ever be convicted of bigamy. Why, if I am found guilty ot that charge, then there are 5,000 men in New York to-day who conld also be convicted of bigamy." The vaudeville manager seemed to be in excellent spirits, and did not seem at all alarmed at the proceedings which have been instituted against him.

Murnane will give in his paper to-morrow an outline of the work already done by the Brother hood, and what has been laid out for the meeting in New York on Monday and Wednesday next. He says: Monday the meeting will be for the members of the BrotherhooA alone. Ward, Irwin, Wood, Bronthers, Pfeffer, Glasscock, Twitchell and Hanlon will represent the different chapters. Wednesday will be the big day, as the stockholders and players will meet to sign contracts, elect officers and 'make laws for the benefit of all con cerned. It has been definitely settled that Brook lyn and Buffalo will take the places of In dianapolis and Washington. The players of these clnbs will be distributed between the former cities and Pittsburg. Arthur-Irwin is booked for Philadelphia, where he will captain tbe team. John M. Ward will don a Brooklyn uniform and manage tbe team for that city. Comiskey, the great playing captain of the St Louis Browns, will take Anson's place on first base for the Chicagos. Pfeffer will manage and Comiskey captain the team. As tbe St. Louis man has not been reserved by the Browns, there will be no interference by tbe new organization. Glass cock and Denny are down for Pittsburg, taking the places of white and Bowe, who will go to Buffalo. There are several players who have not as yet been placed. A GLANCE AT THE HOSIER. The following are the names of the men who have positively signed contracts to play with the new Ball Players' League, arranged in tbe clubs they will play with next season (unless here and there is a chance which the new board may think best): i Boston Bennett.

The governing board will consist of IS, one player from each club and one of the outside stockholders. The board will have the power to make up tbe teams at the end of each season, as the contracts rnn bnt for' one year and new races may oiten De round in old cluos. Tbe crime workers in tbe new move have hive been Ward, Eanlon, Quinn, Bronthers, Pfeffer, Fogarty and TwitcbelL While the Spalding Australian party .was on its way home Ward, Hanlon and Fogarty put their beads to gether and batched up tbo present scheme which has been' carefully looked over by Lawyer Russell, of Cleveland, and put into tbe present shape. Tbeir official intentions will be given out early next week. NOT ALL SMOOTH SAILING. The League players say' they expect to meet with some obstacles in tbe organization and working of the new deal. John Clarkson is no of the men that the New Tork branch of tbe Brotherhood fears will not stick, and con siderable stock was taken in the story printed here this morning, about bis playing at the old stand for three more years in consideration of a good sized bonus. "We can enjoin any man who has signed the new contract from playing outside our ur banization," said one of tbe New York players Tuesday evening. As tbe player is a lawyer, his say should carry some weight. Jobn Morrill has been in full charge of this end of tbe business, and will attend the New York meeting. Jobn will not play next season, but will look out for the busmess end of the Boston branch. Tbe League magnates are not idle in Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. They are on the lookout for good players in the minor leagues. John B. Day voiced the line of action the magnates will take when he "couldn't see how the players could get over tne reserve rule." "We intend to enjoin tbe men from playing outside the Leasue," said be, "and if tbe move should be a go, the League has no one but itself to blame." The League will not be able to fight with solid ranks. The chances are that neither Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburg nor Wash ington will be in the fray unless the richer clubs foot their expense account?. Should the American Association make a move to belp tbe League nearly a dozen of their brilliant stars will be drafted into the new move at once. BIS WIFE THOUGHT OP FIRST. A Prisoner Who Preferred Jail to Seeing HI Better Half Suffer. rsFZCIAL TXLXOBAK TO TOT DISPATCH.! Washington, October 30. The Hay tian Legation building is a comfortable but not pretentious residence on Vermont ave nue, near Iowa Circle. If the Minister lives plainly on the outside he has, however, a very attractive wine cellar and splendid cigars. Some time ago the Minister em ployed as a servant a bright colored man named Louis James, who had previously been in the employ of Mr. A. S. Worthing ton, a prominent, citizen. James seemed to form a strong attachment for a certain brand of fine imported wine, and the Minister soon discovered that he must either part with that delicious beverage' or with his clever servant, and be chose a separation from the latter. Shortly after the dismissal of James no (ewer than SO bottles of this wine suddenly disappeared, and it was found that it became invisible at about the same time that the dismissed servant made a visit to the honse. This morning James was arrested and charged with grand larceny. The police judge sent the case to the grand jury and James was sent to the station bouse to be transferred to jail. While there his young and rather handsome wile called to see him, and wept bitterly. Before leaving him she told him she would employ a lawyer. "Do nothing of the kind," said James.

SOFT THING FOR SCALPERS. A Railroad Company Worked for Half Fare Political Tickets. rSFSCIAL TILIOBAM TO TIM SISPATCB.1 Washington, October 30. The Ohio Bepnblican Association, a week or so ago, effected an arrangement with one oi the railroad companies to issue to the members of tbe association who desire to go home to vote a .round-trip, ticket for one fall fare. To secure the advantage of this arrangement the purchaser had to present a certificate to the ticket agents from the President of "the association, showing that he .was a member of the organization, and was going home to vote. These certificates, with .the proper signa tures attached, were' distributed among active members of the association to issue to voters. To secure one ot these certificates, however, the purchaser was required to pay 55 to the association. About 150 have been issued. It was developed to-day that a lot of the certificates had gotten into the hands of ticket scalpers. The railroad com pany got on to the wholesale man ner in which the certificates were being used, and suspected that some members of the Ohio Republican Association were not playing fair. An investigation devel oped thai one of the prominent members in the association had furnished a certain scalper with 15 or 20 blank certificates, properly signed with the President s name, upon the payment of $5 for .each certificate.

PRINCES COME HIGH And Hnrat Doesn't Propose to Sell Himself to the American Heiress UNLESS HE GETS HERF0RTDHE, TOO. Fifty Thousand Francs Per Tear Too Little for the Son of a Rojal Home. THE ENGAGEMENT DECLARED OFF Because the Lady Showed a Determlaltlon to H&aige Ber Own Finances. Prince Murat refuses to dispose of him self to Miss Caldwell for an income of 50,000 francs per year. He says Princes real French ones cost a good deal more than that. And therefore the engagement with the noted American heiress is as if it bad never been. :bt cable totes dispatch. London, October 30. Copyright. Prince Murat, the gallant French cavalry General, who has become variously decorated and extensively gray in the Paris salon and a provincial chateau, has finally refnsed to let himself ont as a mari decoratie to the pious American heiress who gave half a million to a Catholic university. "Heine," said the Prince to a circle of the intimates last evening, "the Jockey Club was Assez de la G alette. Not enough money. I say nothing to my fiancee about- money until Saturday. The lawyer calls at her hotel, where we were all gathered by appointment to sign tbe settlements. I. bad expected to witness on her part some generous Elan. What do you imagine I saw? That dnring my life time I was to be al lowed 50,000 francs only, and should she die before me, leaving no heirs, the money was all to revert to her family. "Madame," I said, "you deceive yourself greatly. I am not an Italian. French princes are quoted much higher in the matrimonial stock list, and with my most distinguished salutations I left." SHE' 'WANTED TO BE BAJTKEE. The Prince was congratulated for the noble stand he made against the American bear movement on the European matri monial market, and the nightly baccarat was resumed. But this is the truth. Miss Caldwell plainly stated from the commence ment of the affair that should the marriage take place, she proposed to run her finances as belore. She was willing to give her husband 0,000 francs per annum lor cigarettes and Paris mntuels on Sunday races, but had no idea of intrusting her fortune to such spendthrift hands. Murat acquiesced, hoping that by good behavior he would obtain more liberal terms, but Miss Caldwell never faltered in her thrifty resolution; though on pleasure bent Bhe evidently had a frugal mind. Fi nally Murat's family, and in particular Prince Joachim, intervened, and tried to dissuade the bead ot the house from a mis alliance, by which, owing to THE HAED BABGAIN DRIVEN, the family was not to profit, and when the Princess Joachim learned how cheap her father-in-law was going, she offered out of ner private fortune to give mm tne same al lowance as Miss Caldwell, provided the marriage should not take place, and as the Princess Joachim is the niece and principal 'heiress of the late Mme. Hurtado Heine, it was simply a flea bite. So the engagement has come to a happier end than the friends of both parties were ever justified in hopintr, for Prince Murat has gone to Fontainebleaa to-day to take part in a large shooting battue of two days, which James Gordon Bennett is giving'at his celebrated cbasselle there, while Miss Caldwell's house on the avenue D'Alma is alive with congratulatory visitors and everything goes merry as a marriage bell, without the chilling presence of a sexagenarian groom. The moral of the story, which American heiresses must- take to heart, is that they cannot be provided with a first-class Prince without paying for him. DAYITT ON JHE LEAGUE. Fie Expresses Hla Opinion of Boycotts and (be Iiondon Times Case. London, October ?0. Before the Par nell Commission to-day Mr. Davitt de nounced the charge that Mr. Patrick Egan, Treasurer oi tbe Land League, paid money to assist in-the Phoenix Park murders, or that Mr. Biggar or others advised that money belonging to the League be paid for the com mittal of outrages.

The vast property of the St. Louis Brewery Association has not been sold to an English syndicate or to any other syndicate. The probability of the beer industry passing ont of the hands of the SI.

Ellis Wainwrigbt, President of the Brewers' Association, was interriewed on the latest rumor, and said: "To sum up the whole thing, certain capitalists desired to purchase the property of the association..
