KANSAS CITY, Dec, 14. (Special Tele
tram.) Georgo Tcbeau, holder of the
American association base ball franchise
lu Kansas City, stolo a march on tho West
ern leaguo mugnates hero today by closing
a contract with tho Metropolitan Land com
pany for the lease of Exposition park for
tho baso ball season of 1&02. This Is tho
park Mantlng has always controlled nnd
loalng It leaves him nnd "KM" Nichols,
tho Western league magnates', high and dry
(or tho time being.
Representatives of both Tcbeau nnd Man
ning are known to havo been negotiating
ltU tho real estate company for a week
lu regard to leasing tho old park. Mnn
nlng was iindoubtcdly the first to open nego
tiations and Tcbeau was In Denver at the
time, but the land syndicate telegraphed to
him for a bid and ho camo on Immediately.
Ho was In town Thursday, but denied that
ho was trying to get Exposition park. lie
loft for Chicago Thursday night and left
behind him his bid and tho money to pay
for tho leuse.
Tcbeau now has two parks under his con
trol; that Is, he has ono park and grounds
for another, having leased tho part of the
Kldgo cetato bounded by Olive, I'rospcct and
Twentieth streets and the belt lino tracks.
Ho has started to grado tho I'rospcct nvc
cuo site, nnd what ho will do with It Is
u matter of conjecture. If ho holds to both
lenses Manning nnd Nichols will probably
havo troublo In finding a suitable location
for Western lcaguo grounds.

LONDON, Dee. 14. Tho delay In the pub
lication of tho October and November re
turns from the concentration camps, which
were Issued today, was apparently duo to
tho government's deslro to nccompany this
announcement of tho pitiably high death
rate with some kind of official explanation.
Tho hluo book Issued todny shows 3.D1C
(Tenths of whites In October, of which num
ber 2.C33 were children, nnd 2,807 deaths of
whites In November, of which 2,271 wore
children. This makes tho total number of
deaths for tho Inst nix months 13,041, or u
death rnto approximating 233 pr 1,000.
Among tho colored persons there were 1.30S
deaths In two months, Tho bluo book con
tains tho government's plans for breaking
up tho camps, as recently outlined In the
speeches of the war secretary, Hrodcrlck.
Tho war secretary, Mr. Hroderlck, says
tho reports of medical officers, blames the
death rato on tho filthy ha,blts of the
Uoors, tho concealment of diseases, tho
feeding of babies on meat, heavy dough
bread and stowed black coffeo, and tho
admission to tho camps of half-starved
refugees ridden with disease. In ono In

rut In place of thoso deserting tho league.

ing by an odd parliamentary ruling by the

resented nnd Mr. Spnldlng ruled thnt New
York bo counted as present, thereby mak
ing a quorum. Tho magnates then pro
ceeded to business, The first order of bus
iness was tho election of a now board of

Mr. Carneglo said In part: "This Bchool

have becomo nn Imperative necessity In tho
