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.

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.

'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,

Now n player can mnko u demand for
more money nt tho and of tho first year.

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

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-

NEW YOIHC. Feb. 27. 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.
Knell vnclit Hliiill stand by the conse-
ueiice of any accident happening to It
fter the nrennrntory hIk-iiu nnd on tlio
occurrence of nny such accident dlsnbllng
either vessel, tho other vessel shall unil

From tho nbovo outline It will be seen
thnt tho principal Innovation is thnt set
ting the tlmo for the races earlier thnn
heretofore.

OUU10UINTO,;Provlnce of Uulacan, P. I.,
Feb, 27. 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.
The appointment of n native governor In
dicated the commission's confidence In tho
Tngalogs.

It seems that tho Pure Food company of

"Pure Food Making Powder." The grocers
sold some of It, ascertained that It wns
an nlum powder, returned the powdor 1111

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

tho person using It.
Tho Jury rendered a verdict for tho do

The dissatisfaction of the veterans with
tho place assigned them In tho parade Is re
sponsible for today's action. It was their
wish to act ts the personal escort to tho
president. Grand Marshal Greene, on tho
conttary, assigned them to a position In tht
line qhoad of the civic organizations and
following the National Guard. General

Charles 11. 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."

which has visited tho enmp. Groups of
anxious men, women nnd children still sur
round tho ninlu cntrnnco to the mine. The
number of lives lost Is at least twenty-
six and possibly twenty-nine, but no more.
At the present tlmo Superintendent Sncd-
oon Is directing the oporatlons of the

The work is necessarily slow, but reports
reach tho mouth of the mlno to tho effect
that the flro is practically subdued. It Is
