NEW YORK, Feb.- 2T. The National IcaRUo baaebnll maRnalca met attain this afternoon at the Fifth Avenue hotel. At the closo of the aesnlon It was announced that the report of the committee on rules and examination had been under discussion. A rule wan adopted which does away with tho Intentional "foullns off' of pitched balls by the batsman. Tho first and second foul balls hit by the batBman, unless two strikes have already been called against hltn, shall henceforth' be counted a. strike- Utile No. 3, defining the position of the catcher's Unto, wai altered so that the catcher will have to stand within ten feet Instead of ninety feet of the plate. This places the catcher "up behind the bat" throughout the game. A rule making the pitcher deliver tho ball to tho batunan as soon ns the latter takes his position at the plate was adopted. Should the pitcher deliver the ball to any ether place than tho plate n ball will be called' for each delivery. A rule was passed "which penalized one ball ngalnst the pltchrr If he fall to dollvcr tho ball to tho batsman -althln twenty seconds after tho latter has taken hla position. A rulo was passed empowering the tini plro to remove from tho game, and If need be from the grounds, any player guilty of wilng Improper languago to another player, captain, manager or spectnfqr. Written proof of tho offense must bo submitted to tho president of tho league within twenty four hours, and ho may, If the proof bo sati Irfactory, suspend the offender from play, President rrecdman of tho Now York club wanted power given to tho managers of teams to removo the offending player, but his suggestion was not adopted. Oilier (,'liiiMKi'rn In llulc. A batsman may not henceforth take his base If hit by a pitched ball, but the ball will count kb n ball against the pitcher. Sev eral rules conflicting with the changes named were stricken out or changed to con form to the alternations, Article llv of the constitution was amended to read that tho board of directors ball hnvo the power of Inflicting penalties ln cases of forfeited games. In caso of a forfeited game the board shall convene within n week nnd hear the evidence, de ciding what penalty to Impose on the club offending. In the past the forfeiting club had to pay a penalty forthwith nnd then wait months, perhaps, for n decision on the merits of tho caso by the board. Tho pen alty Is not payable under tho new rule un til after the board of directors has given Its decision. At the ovcnlng session the magnates sum moned President Charles Power and V. It. .Wntklns of tho American association. The '.American association men practically yielded up the ghost early In tho afternoon. Before night most of the members hud left for home. No official announcement was made, but predictions were made by many posted cn such affairs that tho American itssoclatlon would not begin this season. "Dill" Clark, tho lloston rotcher, who was to havo hod charge of tho nalttmore club In the association, said ho was out for l?rod nnd irfft for Ilaltlmore early. Ho said the association had died beforo It was really horn. I'l-mlili-nl l'nvr (ilci I'p. Presfdo'nt Charles Tower' was the last to Rive up. He waited nil day hoping to get a hearing from the magnates for his u, ioniza tion. Members of tic ar :ilion bitterly accused tho magnates of falling to keep promises to give financial aid lo their as sociation and thus causing Its demise. Tho league, whb said to hovo promised to finance the association in nt least three cities of Its circuit. Lack of funds was tho cause ,conceded for tho association's death. V. II. .Wntklns of Indianapolis la said to have 522. 00 tied up in tho olub ho was to put Into 'his city. It wan understood that John T. Brush was his backer, President Young today announced that the league had granted nil tho players' demands.- Tho players have ngreed to sign leaguo conlraeta under pain of suspension. Tho suaponslon, however, is only operative until tho players' organization can meet ns a body nnd act on (ho matter. As a matter of fact, the agreement signed by "President Zlmnier nmnuntH to nothing more than nn expression of goodwill toward tho National lenguo ns against Han John eon's organization, Whether tho players ratify Zlmmcr's ngronment or not, tho con cessions made by tho league will hold good. The most Important concession, perhaps. Is the now option clause. Heretofore n club owner rould employ n young player at a salary and compel him, whether he de veloped Into a star or not, to kcop on play ing year after year at tho same salary. It was optional with tho owner to Increase the salary to fit tho service, I'll vornlili- for Vimmih I'lnyiT". Now n player can mnko u demand for more money nt tho and of tho first year. Ho can be compelled to play nt tho smno Affection Exhales from children as fraprance from flowers. The little lips nre always puck ered to give or take n kiss. In homes where there arc children, love reaches its fairest and sweetest proportions. In childless homes the kiss of wife and husband grows formal, nnd presently is neglected ; the springs of love in the heart become choked for want of use and exercise. Childlessness is a great 6orrow to many women. It is like n curse from Nature, who bids all crea tures to be fruitful. It is not a curse but n misfortune. Often the conditions ' which cause childlcssues!' are removable. Dr. PL-rce's l'avoritc Prescription has brought joy to many a woman oy giving her the happiness of motherhood. It gives to the womanly organs vigor and vitality, removes local obstructions, and practically does away with the pains and pangs of maternity, There is no alcohol or narcotic in " Fa vorite Prescription," 'I have never written you how crateful I nr: to you for vour help In securing' good heal. nnd one of the awcetf-it, drarf t, thirteen pouiiu firli that ever cams Into home." writes Mrs. t. Vastlne. of 647 ttoutlt Liberty St., C.aleibutg, 111. "I took six bottles ol nr.

I cannot make pen decrib my heart-felt gratitude." To keep the Ixjwcls regular use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. salary the following year, but then If his reasonable demands bo not met he Is free to sign where ho wishes. The clause la favorable to young players. "In the selling, trading and farming out" clauses the players got all they asked. Now a player's consent 'Is not necessary before he can be sold, transferred or farmed out. President Zlmmcr of the players left for Washington tonight. lie said he was Im mensely pleased with tho concessions. "Wo got all we asked nnd did not recede from our original demands," he said, "I was ndvlsed by my lawyer to sign the agreement mado by ths league. At best It Is conditional upon the action of the Play ers' association ns a body. It Is not legally binding upon any member of the associa tion, ' I'ri-i iIiiiiiii On III u Hun, , It was learned late tonight that Presi dent Krecdman of tho New York club had again broken with the magnates because, of their refusal to adopt his suggestion cal culated to do away with rowdyism. Ho left the meeting room highly Indignant nnd It is said to havo declared that ho would have nothing more to do with leaguo base hall until the magnates had taken more decided steps toward purifying the game. President Freedin'an's smendment follows. "In case the umpire refuse to net, tho club officials shall have the player offending removed from the ground fotth with." After the amendment was defeated Mr. Frcedman rose and said: "This power has been In the hands of the umpires n loug tlmo and they have been criticised for their failure to act promptly and ener getically. Tho matter has been put up to tho magnates ami they havo refused to take action. Until some proper nnd nde- uate nctlou be tnken I shall have no moro to do with leaguo base ball."

Tho New: York 'mlif club tonight made public tho text f tho rules which havo been ndoptcd, with the consent of tho Koynl Ulster Yacht club, to govern tho International races next summer between the defender of the merlcan cup and Sir Thomas Upton's new hnllcngcr. Tho rules are In tho main similar lo those of former years. The match is to be decided out of the best three out of five races, starting from Sandy Hook lightship. Tho first, third nnd fifth rnces will he over tralght courses, to windward or leownrd nd return. The course of the second nnd fourth will bo nn cqullnternl trinngle. Tho courses nro to be ns nenr as possible o thirty nautical miles In length. The races nhall bo sailed on August 20, 22 nnd l, 1501, and on tho following Tuesday and Thursday, If necessary. Tho Irish club suggested n flying start, without any tlmo allowances, which, they wrote, hnd worked well on that side of tho water, but tho Now York Yacht club did not act favorably on the idea, The accident clause, this year is as fol- ows: In enso n Herloils accident occurs tn either vessel prior lo the prennrntory sig nal, It shall iKive HUftlclent tlmu lo effect rennlr.s before lieltiK required to start, or ir mien ucciuoni occurs during a race, In-. rorn neing renuireu lo stun in mo next rnre.

The concluding scene of tho com mission's visit to the province of Uulacan Was most dramatic. General Grant pre sented Seraplo with n flag which once be longed to General Grant's father. Tho Fil ipinos received the flag enthusiastically, swore loyalty to the United States,, and heered General Grant and the commis sioners. Jose Soraplo, an undo of AgulnAldo nnd formerly an Insurgent colonel, hns been ap pointed governor ,of Uulacan province. There wore several candidates, Including wo army officers, but the United States cotr.mteslon was unanimously In favor of Seraplo, "who surrendered during General Lnwton'a progress northward, and who has Ince been such n consistent friend of the United States that Agulualdo published un order degrading bis uncle. Thcro was considerable protest against Scrapie's apolntraenf, chiefly from n dele gation which represented the Interests of the friars. The commission announced that It had Investigated the allegations made, against Seraplo nnd found them to be untrue. NntlvcA Are ,ilnilr OlllclnU. Captain Grccnough of tho Forty-first regiment was appointed treasurer and tcutonant Wells of the Thirty-second regi ment was appointed supervisor. The other niclula appointed were natives. All the ppolutments, practically, were mndo on (Jcnoial (Jinn's recommendations. Although by reputation Uulacan la not the nre the easiest province to govern, nil leaders and most of the Inhabitants ow friendly to the United States. The question of selection of n capital for tho province was submitted to tho vote of the delegation. Malolos, the former seat of tho Insurgent congress, Is tho best town, but Uulacan, which has always been the seat of the government, was easily flr?t. The ballot was the first free voting In tho Philippines, excepting nt Hie town elec tions, hod under military orders, Tho delegates enjoyed tho balloting Im mensely. Judge Tnft, In ndmonlshlng tho delegates, said that since they had the reputation of being gamesters they must bide by tho result nnd show their capa bility of abiding by the suffrage1. During the course of his speech an nouncing the nppolntment Judge Taft said nowhere had n mllltnry commandef shown uch benevolent consideration for tho In terests of tho pcoplo as had General Grant.

A case In tho courts of Davenport, la., tho other day appears to have fixed the status of tho alum baking powders as an Illicit article of trade In that state. It seems that tho Pure Food company of Chicago sold to n firm of grocers In Daven port n qunntlty of baking powder called "Pure Food Making Powder." The grocers sold some of It, ascertained that It wns an nlum powder, returned the powdor 1111 sold to the manufacturers and refused to pay for It. Tho manufacturers sued to col lect. Tho case was tried beforo Judge Bollinger and a Jury. Attorneys Neal & Neal nnd S, A. Finger defended the grocers. It wns shown that the powder contained alum. The defense claimed, consequently, that It was Injurious to health and that traffic in It was against public policy. Expert tcstl mony was Introduced to show that alum imn inlipn into the stomach would Influ ence the gastric Juices to the detriment of tho person using It. Tho Jury rendered a verdict for tho do fendants, which means that alum baking powders aro deleterious to health, their sale Illegal In the state. The pure rood laws of the state nro upheld.

Woolworth of South Omaha has contracted to supply the War dopart meut with twenty bronchos, "not moro than fourteen hands high, tough, wiry, hardy animals, perfectly sound and In good condition." Thcso nre to bo delivered to the quartermaster at Omaha not later than March 15. ' About two weeks ago The Bee contained notice that bids to supply this consignment of live stock had been advertised for, but at the time the purpose to which tho anl mals was to be devoted was a profound secret. It wob tho consensus of opinion About the headquarters, however, that they woro to bo sent to tho Philippines. But now It seems Uncle Sam had no such plan in view. Instead of rending them to help penetrate the mountain fastnesses In quest of Agulnaldo. they nro to be consigned to West Point to be used by tho cadets as polo ponies. This came Wednesday from semi-official sources, end was' In part at least confirmed by two officers. "I understand," said he "that a movement Is on foot whereby the AVar department will recognize polo as the official game at West Point, and Is even going as far as tn lay nut the grounds and supply Ihd live stock and other equipment for the sprrt. Perhaps they hope It will prove n -pioins of enabling tho radets to work off their surplus energy, so there will he less Incentive to hazing. In any event It will be an excellent recreation, especially for thoso who nro training for Ibe cavalry branch of the service."
