Philadelphia, Nov. 8.-The National

ary, or curtain raiser. In a session of tho

quite a representative gathering to Phil
adelphia. The league proper will begin
Its sessions tomorrow. The magnates had
all arrived tonight excepting thosu of
Washington, lialtlmore und St. Louis.
Tho respective representatives of thoio
league cities, the Wagner brothers, Von

phia; W. W. Kerr, of Pittsburg; Harry
Pulllam, of Louisville; John T. Hrush, of
Cincinnati; James A. Hart, of Chicago,
and P. Dellnas Iioblson, of Cleveland.
Tho newspaper talent Is also on hand In
force, special correspondents being pres
ent from nearly all tho league cities
Taking It all in all. It is one of tho
largest attended meetings held for years,
although, of course, only the magnates
themselves get Inside the portals to hear
or pJitlclpate In tho deliberations over
the mooted base bcJl questions and af
fairs. In fho lively "push" about the lobbies
of the Hotel Walton tonight, while the
arbitration board was lu secret session
upstairs, weio many prominent In baso
ball circles throughout the country.
Among these wtro Presidents Pat Pow
ers, of the Eastern league; Kd liarrows,
of tho Atlantic league, and Benjam'n
Johnson, of the Western league; Manag
ers Arthur Irwin, ot Toronto; Georgo
Stnlllngs. of Philadelphia; William H.

of Kansas City, and Tom Drown, of
Washington; ex-Umpire George Htirnham,
and Hilly Shettsllne, secretary of tho
Philadelphia club. Fred Clarke, of Louis
ville, was the only member of tho ac
tive playing fraternity in evidence, la
addition to Tom Drown, of Washington.
Tho arbitration board, which consists of
Messrs. Young, Roblson, Hart, Ilyrne,
Hush and Soden, did not go Into session
until 9 o'clock tonight. Meanwhile tho
gossiping of rhe loungers In the lobbies
icgardlnp deals and rumors of all sorts,
and tho playing over ngaln In the minds
of the little knots, was continued with
out cessation. There did not, however,
seem to be any basis whatever for any of
the proposed deals, and the opinion was
general that the tiams would all line
up In tho spring about as they llnlshod
this fall.
The board of arbitration remained in
session until ufler midnight. In tho dis
pute over the services of Second Uase
man Eagan, the board decided that tho
player rightfully belonged to Pittsburg,
and awarded him to that club. The board
declared that the Ilrooklyn club, under
the agreement existing between Pitts
burg and Syracuse, had no right to ne
gotiate with Syracuse for Hagan's ser
vices, and the deal between those clubs
which also Included the transfer of Can
nvan to Syracuse was declared null and
void.
A number of the representatives of
minor Icagno clubs who were In tho hotel
were called Into the board's meeting room
for a conference In relation to alio peti
tion of the minor leagues for a modifica
tion of tho present drafting rule. Those
who represented the minor leagues, all
of whom entered Into the discussion of
tho question, were Presidents Powers,
Johnson, Hurro s aivl Murnana anil
Messrs. Kuntz, of Syracuse; Ellis, of
Newark; McCarthy and O'Neill, of Mont
real. After hearing their views the board,
upon suggestion of Mr. Hart, asked the
minor league men to resolve themselves
Into convention some tlmo during tho
present league meeting and agree upon a
form of amendment to tho constitution
on the subjict of drafting und to present
this In writing to the board for Its-consideration.
The matter was therefore likely to bo
disposed of before the league meeting ad
journs, and It Is believed will bo wholly
sausiaciory to me minor leagues.

'N pursuance of the
aim prayer:
I, Daniel H. Hastings, governor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do
hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God.
We have abundant and unusual cause for gratitude. No pestilence has in
vaded our borders, and peace has prevailed. The willing hand of labor has found
employment, industry has been rewarded and the field and farm have yielded boun
teous harvests. Goci's love has spared our lives, made our homes happv, increased
our devotion to country, and should inspire a nobler manhood and a grander state
hood. Let Thanksgiving Day be one of praise and rejoicing: let the family circle be
reunited and the ties of home and fireside strengthened. May our usual places of
worship be filled with God-fearing, thankful and patriotic worshippers, and may
the influence of the day's observance find fruition in years to come in that rectitude
of life, that devotion to home and country, that performance of every duty which
shall be well pleasing to Him; and let the best pledge be the bountiful hand with
which we remember the needy and unfortunate who dwell in our midst.
Given under my hand and the great seal of state, at the city of Harrisburg, the
fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-seven, and of the Commonwealth the one hundred and twenty-second.
DANIEL H. HASTINGS.

Kcfiisnl of n Habeas Corpus Writ
Allirnied by the Niiprcino Court.
Washington. Nov. 8. Tho United Stntes

sion of tho circuit court for tho Cali
fornia circuit, refusing a writ of habeas
corpus to William Henry Theodore Dur
rant, under sentence of denth for tho
murder of Miss Illnncho Lament In San
Francisco in April, 1S95,
This decision pennlto tho law to tnko
Its course. Chief Justice Fuller an
nounced the eouit's conclusion, but made
no remarks 'n doing so, save to cite a
few authorities on which tho court based
Its decision.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. The decision of
the Supremo court waB not unexpected
here, and apparently only Currant and
J Is attorneys seemed to have any hopu
that tho murdtrer would be saved from
the gallows. Durrant 'has not yet been
notified.
Diirrant's parents wero notified of the
court's dclslon nnd were deeply ufl'ected.
Mrs. Durrant wept, but said her son was
Innocent, and that she did not glvo up
hope lhat ho would be vindicated and
his Innocence proved. District Attorney
Harncs said that tho only thing the at
torneys for Durrr.nt could do now was to
appeal from the order of the Supremo
court, but that, he thought, they would
not tiy this as they wero suro to fall.
ATLANTIC BALL LEAGUE.
The Directors .licet at Philadelphia
nnd Trmisrirt Itoutitie Itntiii'ss.
Philadelphia, Nov. 8. Today's meeting
of the directors of the Atlantic Uaseball
league was a brief one and only routine
business was transacted. Complaint bad
been made of the too liberal distribution
of freo passes to the games by the dif
ferent clubs, so the question was disposed
of today by limiting tho number. Among
the other matters discussed was the com
plaint ot the "seizure" of live of the
nthletlc players by the Philadelphia club
to compensate the latter organization
for alleged unpaid rent for the use of the
Philadelphia grounds. The uetlon of tho
latter club was denounced nnd the claim
was made that the services of the play
ers rightfully belonged to the Atlantic
league.
The league will hold another meeting
tomorrow. The purpose of this, It is said,
Is to keep the directors together In case
the National league board of arbitration
which Is now In session should take some
nctlon Inimical to the Interests of the
minor leagues In general and that of tho
Atlantic league In particular.

It had been expected that tho obtulnlng
of tho Jury would be a long and tedious
process, owing to the wide publicity that
ha1 been given to the crlmo with which
Thorn Is charged and tho supposed piej
udlce against him.
Tho Jurors are: Jacob numstead,
Michael Mulgannon and John Klnzey,
farmers; Frank E. Marsh, saloonkeeper;
Charles J. Nichols, oyster man; Mangos

chanic; David D, Wheeler, printer; John
C. Schlegel, Janitor; Peter Waters, gro.
cer; T. D. Hollows, real estate broker;

The court then adjourned until tomor
row. Thorn, in complicity with Mrs. Augusta
Nnck, Is charged with tho murder or Wil
liam Guldonsuppe, a Turkish bath at
tendant, portions of whose mutilated
body were found last Juno In tho Kant
river and In Ogdens woods, north of the
city. Guldensuppe had lived with Mrs.
Nack, a midwife, and quarrelled with her
shortly before his disappearance. He had
ulso fought and beaten Thorn In her
Hat. Thorn and tho woman wero ar
rested soon after tho discovery of the re
mains, and Thorn later confessed his
guilt to two men who had shared his cell
ut different times.
It is alleged that Mrs. Nack lured Ould
ensuppe to a cottage In Woodslde, L. I.,
whero she Mild she was about to estab
lish a baby farm; that In a room In that
cottage Thorn waylaid and shot Gulden
suppe, afterwards severing his head and
dismembering his corpse; that the frag
ments of tho body were then disposed of
whero they were found and that tho
head, oncased In plaster of parls, Was
given to Thorn's brotner-ln-Uw, who

thing, except that It was of an Incrim
inating nature.

of nervousness.
