If rrCIAL TELSORAM TO THE DIErATCH.1
New York, October 32. When the base,
ball magnates began to assemble at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning it was
evident that the influences of those favor
able to a continuation of the conflict that
has disgraced the national game were in the
ascendant The Conference Committee met,
and it was soon made known that the Ameri
can Association and the National League
declined to hare three players on the com
mittee. Messrs. Johnson, Talcott, Good
win, Ward, Hanloa and Irwin then went
to the Hoffman House and conferred with
their triends. Subsequently the six gentle
men named returned to the Fi th Avenue
Hotel and a Ions secret session was held, with
Messrs. Ward, Hanlon and Irwin, the players,
on the outside. When the session was ended
becretary Byrne made a statement to the press
representatives-
STKUCK A SNAG.
He explained that the meeting to-day was to
have Deen attended by three delegates from the
Players' League, three from the National and
three from the American Association. A. L.
Johnson, F.B.1 aivott and Wendell Goodwin
were to represent the flayers; A. G. Spalding,
J. a Dav and u. H. Byrne, the National, and
A. W. Tbnrman, Chris Von der Ahe and Win.
Barnie, the American. All these were present
to-day. but were surprised to find three other
gentlemen, Messrs. Ward, Hanlon and Irwin on
hand to represent the players. Mr. Tbur
man refused to call the meeting to
order unless they retired. It was explained
that the players had increased their delegation
and 31r. Johnson saia tnai me committee was
not readv to proceed unless the whole delega
tion was'ptesent A discussion followed, and
as a result the Plavers' original committee of
three and the Brotherhood committee retired.
Tliee gentlemen talked over the situation,
and the additional three players retired and
both committees returned to the meeting
room.
Mr. Thurnian then called the meeting to or
der and read a letter from the directors of the
riajers' League explaining the appointment of
the additional member of the committee. A
1 Johnson ruoteii, and E B. Talcott seconded,
that the Plajers' delegation be increased by
three. The motion was lost, and the delegates
a;ram retired.
Mr, Johnson said that the national agree
ment was represented by Biz members on the
committee, and the players thought they were
entitled to an equal representation. They
could do nothing under the circumstances but
withdraw.
IKDOKSED THE1E COMMITTEE.
The National League held a meeting at the
Filth AenueHotel to-nicht, and the delegates
were in session until nearly midnicht. It was
a continuation of the adjourned meeting of
October 9. Messrs. Spalding. Dav and Byrne,
the committee appointed to confer with the
Players' League committee, inaae a detailed
report of the proceedings of the afternoon and
their refusal to confer with the players. The
action of the committee was approved without a
dissenting voice. Every delegate expressed his
view s and all were of one voice regarding the
effort of th-plajers to be recognized in a con
ference. The committee was continued Vith
power to do anything toward a compromise
that was reasonable and fair, and to report at
the annual mectin of the League to be held
on November 12 at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The committee is ready at any time to confer
with a committee of the Flayers' League that
docs not include pla ers.
The plajers and their supporters are in no
way luclmcd this evening to withdraw their
demand, claiming that it is an absolutely fair
one. As a result a settlement of the trouble
seems as tar off as cut.

BEAT THE COLUMBUS.
University of Pennsylvania Football Team
Win an Interesting Matcli.
rErECIAL TELEGHAU TO THE DISrATCB.1
New York, October 22. The Columbia and
the' University of Pennsylvania teams had
their turn at football this afternoon at Brother
hood Park. This was Columbia's second, game
of the season and it also proved to be ber sec
ond defeat. To. this must be attributed not
wholly the superior play of the Pennsylvania
men, but the loss of three men of Columbia's
regular team. The game was called about 3:15
o'clock, Columbia baring the ball and the east
goat. The V tactics were commenced, but
the Columbia line was not strong enough to
break through the Pennsylvania rush line, and
the game was soon turned against Columbia,
who was gradually pushed down the lielcL
The seond nal opened viciously. The Penn
sylvania men did some rougbulaving and occa
sionally a little slugging. TTuttle became so
angered twice that be had to be forcibly re
strained from having a free fight then and
there. Time was called with Pennsylvania 18
points to Columbia's nothing. The Columbia
team was noticeably weak in ibexusb lines and
lacks good runners. Camp, Church, Dewey
and Scbiff did good work for their team, and
Dilwortb, Culver, Tuttle, Mackenzie and Gll
aersleeve did their best to 'uphold the Colum
bia end.
DISGUSTED HABRXEBS.
The English. Champions Complain of Yery
Mean Treatment at Boston.
Boston, October 2Z If the Boston Athletic
Association ever promulgates another inter
national athletic meeting it is safe to say the
Balford Harriers, of Manchester, England, will
not be competitors. The British champions
left the Hub to a man disgusted with Boston
athletics and Boston athletic clubmen.
The manager, Mr. J. H. Hardwick, says:
"Neitber.m England nor America did we re
ceive such treatment as was accorded us here.
From the hour of our arrival not a single act
of courtesy has been shown us. I wired Mr.
H. IS. Cornish the time we would arrive, but
not a soul met us at the depot. Mr. Cornish
told me that it was just as well he diau't e. as
he would have gone to the wrong depot. Having
seen considerable of mm, I don't doubt that he
would.
"After dinner at the hotel we set out for the
Athletic Club, and after many inquiries found
it. We stood in the vestibule like a lot of
sheep, awaiting the pleasure of bis highness,
Cornish. ioU. minutes. Then in a surly way
we were aJrrd if we'd like to see the club
house.
Nicholas and Morgan, were disgusted and
left. The rest of us were shown turoughin a
perfunctory way and coldly dismissed at' the
door.
"Friday evening we SDent as we best knew
bow. We were not invited to the club house,
nor did a singie'member visit us at the hotel."
Mr. Hardwick goes on to state that the En
glishmen were in every way grossly insulted
ana two of them prevented from starting in the
100-yard foot race.
THE AMATETJB ATHLETES.
Proposed Indoor Meeting Under the Au
spices of the East End Gymnastic Club.
Prof. Kircbner is trying to arrange a grand
indoor athletic meeting to be given under tbe
auspices of the East End' Gymnastic Club
within the next few weeks. Tbe events will be
open to all amateurs, and he has the promise
of quite a number of entries from Philadelphia,
and the probabilities are that Prof. Kircbner
will be assisted in the management of tbe affair
by Prof. Finkeldey, of theY. M.C. A. Gyna
sium of Philadelphia.
It will be a Strictly" first-class affair, and all
tbe colleges in the State'will be invited to send
representatives to enter the contests. Mem
bers of all amateur clubs will be eligible to the
events, which will be handicap all through.
Tbe programme of events will be: straight
away run the length of room, 220 yards dash,
410 yards dash, fcSO yards run, one-mile run,
running high jump, running high kick, putting
the shot, lightweight wrestling, standing high
jump, running hi.b jump, tug of war.
No such event has ever been held in Pitts
burg, but such entertainments have long been
very popular in tbe East, and are attended by
society people more than tbe sporting frater
nity, from the fact that'lhe contestants will all
be amateurs, members of clubs of high
standing, and well-known young men of every
profession and tbe best standing. The club
hopes to make this, meeting successful, and
other meetings ot a similar character will be
held, and thus place the city in its proper
position in regard to amateur athletics.

JOHN BULL WILLING.
English Actions Encourage the Belief
That Britain May
ADMIT.OUB LIVE bTOCK FREELY.
Eestrlctions on American Cattle Bemored
. it Found Healthy.
QUARANTINE STATIONS DESIGNATED
Washington-, October 22. Secretary
Busk said to a reporter to-day that he -was
receiving encouraging reports of progress
from Mr. J. H. Banders, his special agent
in Great Britain, relative to tbe removal of
British restrictions upon the importation of
American live slock.
In a recent report to the Secretary, Mr.
Sanders encloses excerpts from British
journals, -which give, among other 'things,
the details o" the embargo recently pieced
upon a shipment of Canadian cattle to Scot
land. The Secretary said that the English
account of the incident confirms
what he h-is alwavs contended,
namely tbe difficulty of depending abso
lutely upon a single diagnosis iu order to
determine whether symptoms of disease in
dicate the contagious or non-contagion'
pleuro pneumonia. It wis on this ground
that tbe Secretary concluded to adopt the
plan of co-inspection by representatives of
his own department with the British Inspec
tor. '
i'EAES OF DISEASED CATTLE.
The Secretary also said tbat he thought
the action of the British authorities in the
Dundee case rather justified tbe inference
that the restrictions imposed and main
tained on American cattle by the British
Government are due less to any aoiritof ud
friendliness which might lead to discrimina
tions against tbe United States than to a
positive fear lest through any lack of their
official vigilance danger to British cattle
might ensue. This naturally leads
him to the conclusion that comparatively
little difficulty will'be experienced in secur
ing the removal of any restrictions discrim
inating between American and Canadian
cattle jO'-t so soon as the British authorities
can be thoroughly convinced of the immu
nity which American cattle now enjoy from
contagious pleuro pneumonia and of the
ample powers vested in the Secretary of
Agriculture to control and eradicate it
should Hny outbreak occur in the future.
The Secretary feels highly encouraged at
the present state of his efforts to remove re
strictions upon American cattle.
QTTABANTINE AT PITTSBUEG.

ment of Agriculture for the inspection and
quarantine of- meat cattle, sheep and other
ruminants and swine imported into the

BEANDY TAXES REFUNDED.
IiOvies on Fortifying Spirits In Sweet Wines
to he Paid Back.
Washington, October 22. One of the
provisions of the existing tariff law is that
makers of sweet wines shall be allowed the
use of grape brandy 'ree of tax tor the pur
pose of fortifying their wines. The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue is charged
with the duty of transferring tbe brandy
from the bonded warehouse or distillery
where it is made to the winery, requiring a
large number of new stamps and the prepa
rations ot new regulations. In view ol the
press of other work at tbe Bureau of En
graving and Printing it will be impossible
to procures supplyof stamps until aiter De
cember 1. By tbat time the vintage season
will have passed 'and the -wine makers be
precluded tbis year from all benefits in
tended by the act.
To provide against this state of affairs, tbe
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has in
structed tbe collectors at San Francisco,
New York and elsewhere to notify persons
interested that he will consider applications
to refund tbe taxes paid on all spirits which
may have been used iu tbe fortification of
street wines.
TTNDEB THE OLD LAW.
Secretary Spanldlng's Decision as to the
Tariff on Steel Kails in Bond. -
Washington, October 22, Assistant
Secretary Spuulding has written to tbe Col
lector ot Customs at San Francisco in regard
to certain steel rails now in bonded ware
houses which have been withheld from sale
from time to time at the request of the Ore
gon Pacific Railway Company.
It is understood tbat the railway company
intends to "withdraw the rails and pay the
duties thereon in a short time, and the
qnestion arises as to whether tbey are dutia
ble under the old or 'the new tariff law.
General Spaulding,says that as the duties,
regular and additional, bad accrued on tbe
rails before tbe passage of tbe act of October
1..1S90, and as tbe rails remained in bond
merely by sufferance and not legally they
do not come within the puerview of section
BO of the act ol October 1, 1890, and are
therefore dutiable under the old law.
fiOBE SMALL CHANGE.
A Large Supply ot SI, 82 and 85 Treasury
Notes to he Issued.
Washington, October 22. Treasurer
Huston said to-day that he expected to have
ready for issue by the first proximo a large
supply oi $1, $2 and $5 Treasury notes and
that tbey will be used in the purchase of
silver bullion in order to meet as far as
passible the present demand for notes of
small denominations.
These payments have hereto'dre been
made in ?10, $100 and 81,000 notes, princi
pally in the larger denominations. Tbis
was necessary because ot the lack of time to
print a sufficint number of small notes to
meet the purchases.

HIDING THE BLEMISHES.
TOiat the Retoucher Does for the Art of
Photography.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.:
Tbe retouchers perform a service for the
public tnat is not generally known. But
for tbe retoucher portrait photography
would not to-day be much in advance of tbe
pictures made 40 years ago. Then negatives
had to be made dense enough to obliterate
freckles, wrinkles and other defects appear
ing on the face of the average human being.
At the same time, of course, the solt grada
tions of light aud shade were lost, and the
pictures prodnced were merely chalk and
charcoal presentments of the original.
It is now possible, tnroutrh the retoucher's
art of hiding blemishes, to preserve the deli
cate modeling, and at the same time keep
the likeness intact. Retouchers remove a
stray lock of hair,,restore.the turned down

LOOKING AT PICTUBES.
One's Eye Should he Three Times the Great
est Dimension From It.
To see a pfcture properly you should stand
at a distance about three times the greatest
dimension of tbe canvas; that is, ii the
picture be two feet high, your face should
be about six feet distant in order ti ?et the
best view. Von can thus comprehend the
artist's idea and see tbe picture as be meant
you should.
No artist ever intended his pictures to be
examined with reference to the manner the
paint was laid on, and in a minute exam
ination the whole general effect is lost.

TWENTT ACEES OP LAND THROWN IN
ISraCIAI, TXLXOKAK TO TUB DISPATCH. .
Atlanta, October 22. "To Africa' for
one dollar!'' This was the dazzling offer
which delighted and gulled over 800 At
lanta negroes.
a It was the scheme of a negro emigrant
agent named Key, and how successfully it
worked remains to be told. Some weeks
ago Key crme to Atlanta and began to talk
his scheme. He was a smooth talker, aud
quietly claimed the attention of his colored
brethren and sisters. ,
His offer was to take a negro to Africa
and give him 20 acres of land for $1. An
otfier condition was, that a badge bad to be
purchased for a quarter which entitled the
holder to passage on the steamship "Good
Hope," which would leave Savannah for
A rica iu a few weeks. Of course Key
made money from the scheme.
A BOLD SWINDLER.
Finally be became bolder and began or
ganizing meetings. He wonld speak at
length, explaining to his audiences tbat
cabbages grew as tall as trees on the soil in
Africa, of which each emigrant was
to be given 20 acres. He told
of the peculiar brand of sweet
potatoes which grew wild and to an enor
mous size. His speech was dazzling to the
minds of the colored men,' and alter the
meeting when he called for those who
wanted to go, dollar after dollar was turned
over to the "slick artist."
His meeting went on without interrup
tion for some time, and he was "in clover"
as the saying goes. He has collected about
$800 and had a fine prospect ot much more.
One evil moment, George Trasher, the
well-known colored ward politician, dropped
in at oneoi Key's "meetings." Now, it's a
bard matter to fool George into anything.
and his mind is naturally of an investigative
turn. So, when he heard, the brilliant offer
oi the emigrant agent, he was on his feet in
a twinkling.
"By fffcat authority do you. make that
offer?" shouted George.
HE BEFEKBED TO HABBISON.
The agent was re.idy with an answer. "Bv
authority of the President o' the Unite'd
States," he replied. This somewhat stunned
George, bat be was not to be so easily de
feated. "That's mighty good authority," he said,
"but what steamship company have you
made your arrangements with to carry all
these people over?"
The agent saw that George was becoming
too inquisitive, and luckily was able to call
the audience to his assistance, George was
hooted out and the collection of money went
merrily on. The agent saw, however, that
his game was up, and bas skipped out, leav
ing about 800 dupes "in the soup."

A TRUCE DECLARED,
AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT THE RESULT
OF THE B. P. CONFERENCE.
.Not Such a Divergence of Opinion as Repre
sented The Minority Ministers Not
Censored for Issuing Circulars Express
ing Their -Views Will Report to the
PresDytery.
As far as tbe Pittsburg Presbytery is con
cerned tbe difficulty pending between tbe
two fractions of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church has been settled for tbe present and a
truce declared. Thii means tbat the threatened
split in tbe church has been averted, so far as
the action of the committee Is corcerned, and
that according to the views of the committee
tbere is no cause for censuring tbe Pittsburg
Presbytery signers of the circular urging liber
al amendments to tbe laws of the church.
Nearly a year ago, just after the meeting of
the Synod, tbe minor! y faction of tbat body
held a meeting in tbe East End and formulated
a platform, embodying their views as expressed
at tbe Synod meetings. Tbis platform was
printed in circular form and distributed
throughout the district.
''When tbe Pittsburg Presbytery met it was
alleged that theJ7 ministers had done wrong
in holdinc the meeting and that soma of. their
teachings were not jnstin harmony with the
creed and laws of the church. As a result of
tbe Presbytery conference tbe following com
mittee was appointed to meet with tbe alleged
recreant members of tbe minority fac
tion belonging to the Pittsburg Presbytery aud
talk over tbe matter and reDort to the eantral
bodv: Rev. J. W. Sprobll, of Allegheny, Chair
man; Rev. David McAllister, of the Eighth
Street Church; Rev. K. J. George, of Beaver
Falls; Prof. D. B. Wilson, of the Allegheny
Theological Seminary, aud Elders D. O. Brown
and John Magee, of New Alexandria and But
ler respectively.
Rev. J. W. Sproull, tbe Chairman of yester
day afternoon's meeting, which was held be
hind closed doors, said: "You may say tbat we
met and talked the whole matter over in a very
friendly way and came to an amicable settle
ment. We found that after all there was not
such a divergence of opinion as represented.
All proceedings against the minUters, as far as
the committee is concerned, will be stopped.
You can say tbat tbere is no danger of a split
in tbe church, and that all is unity."
A member and officer of Rev. J. R. J. Milll
gan's congregation said that the divergence of
opinion in the church was due to tbe two fac
tions placing a different construction' on the
rules of the church. Tha old school rin not
believe in voting or holding office under tbe
United States Constitution, as tbey think it
ungodly In IU wording.. The unionists, or lib
erals, believe in allowing tbat matter to be a
personal one with the members. There are
also Otber differences regarding communion
and other church institutions.
Tbe ministers concemad in vesterdav's eon.
ference were Revs. J. R. J. Milliean, of Alle
gheny; U. B. Mllllgan, of the East End; E. M.
Milliean, ot Parnassus: Mr. Sampson, of Mc
Keespurt; Mr. Temple, of Manchester and

Mr. McCInrgen was not present, "
