NEW YORK, Dec. 24. Delancy Nowoll.
attorney for Andrew J. Frecdmau of the
New York baso ball club, mado public ft
letter today replying to and commenting
upon tho document addressed to the Na
tional league clubs on Saturday last by A.
U. Spalding. Tho latter was addressed to
tho lioston, Cincinnati nnd St'. Louis olubs.
and woo as follows:
You havo culled my attention to a letter
received this dny by you from Mr. A. O.
Spalding nnd havo atked me what.offect. If
uny, It hns upon the present controversy.
It seems to inn that tho letter amounts to
a withdrawal on Mr. Spalding's purl from
tho olllce of prcsldent-sccretary-trcasurer
of tho National league. Ho Informs you'
tnat no "mum rcruse to net runner as
lresIdent-?crotry-trcasurer of the Na
tional," nnd Roes on to say that It Is "up'
to each club to do that which In Its Judtr-
ment may seem best for Its own Interest.")
This Is In effect ndvlco to the olubs to shift
for themselves.
Never l,ciilly Ulectecl.
Mr. Spalding was never elected presldent-nccrctury-tivusurcr
of the National league.
Ills pretended election was entirely with
out authority. The courts have taken thli
view of It hv Ismilnir tho Inluiictlon nnd
Mr, Spuldlnu seems to have come to tho
umq conclusion nimscir. rcycry act or u
part of the National league by which It
undertook to elect a president, director or
other olllcer, in the absence of a majority
of that body, was Illegal, jiiml the persons
wjio held their respective unices by such
authority nro open to the charge of usurpa
tion of the functions of the ojllco.
Ho nr as tho court proceedings arc con
cerned wic record w as follows
Mr. Spalding had Just declared to the, re-
tiorters. In nn Interview at tho Fifth
ne
Ion to the effect that his election In all re
spects was legal. Tim words wuro hardly
out of his mouth beforo he was served with
an order to show causo why nn Injunction
Hhould not bn Issued ngalnst htm on the
firotind that IiIh pretended election was 11
egal. A few days later ho enmn in court
and by opening of the Injunction admitted
thnt It was ImpOHslblo for him to defend
his title to tho olllce.
Under these clrcilmstnnces It does not
seem to me necessary that you should
mivko any renly to Mr. Spalding's com
munication. Tho stntus of the National
league remains tho samo us It wns heforp
tho pretended election of Mr. Spalding as
presfdent-socretnry-treasurer.
Tnleott Set to Thinking.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21. A. 0. Spalding,
who wus elected president, secretnry and
treasurer of tho National llaso Ball league
by a faction, of that organization at Us last
meeting In New York, had a conference
today with Kdvard II. Talcott, ono of the
formtr stockholders In the ,Ncw York cjub,
the object of which wns to Induce Mr. Tal
cott to resume his connection with tho lat
ter organization and to endeavor to pur
chase the Intercuts of President Frccdman.
Mr. Spalding safd that In his opinion noth
ing would oo popularize the gamo. In New
York as tho return of Mr. Talcott to an uc
tlvil. participation In the sport. In that. cRyi
'Mr. 'Talcott will take tbo iufttUc.,undur
consideration. Mr. Spalding hopes ho will
act favorably on It.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. A large and
ver-lncreaslng number of thoughtful nnd
ell Informed pcoplo In Great Britain dx-
rcss tbo serious belief tnnt u raaicai
changes do not come thout In the near fu
ture the United Kingdom will bo relegated
to tho third position In the ranks of thu
orld'a trade and commerce. This state
ment Is mado by United States Consul Uoylc
nt Liverpool In his annual report, extracts
from which wcro mado public today by the
Stato department.
It Is conceded, Bays Consul Boyle, that In
manufactures Great Britain within tho last
few years has failed to mcot the competi
tion of the United States nnd Germany.
Mr. Doyle suy.i the optimistically Inclined
plead exceptional and marvelous natural
ndvcntagfs as far ns tho United States lit
concerned, while as to Germany's fierce
competition the unsatisfactory financial
Ituatlon now prevailing In that empire Is
cited as nn Instance as a country booming
ltsolf too rapidly. Tho cry of something
must be done, snys tho consul, Is going up
from commercial bodies, political speakers,
economic writers, nnd from tho newspapers.
Incline to Itevlproi'lt y.
There arc fears exprcssod, Bays Mr, Boyle,
thnt oven In tho carrying trade tho su-
remacy of Great Britain Is threatened.
Thero Is n strong sontltneut among the
mnsscs of Great Britain and ono which ap
pears to bo gaining strength ns tlmo goes
on In favor of bringing nbout what has bo-
come popularly known as "fair trude" and
vhlcti, says Mr. Boyle, Is nothing but reci
procity. Protection, ho says, Is not very
much advocated, but it Is significant that
many of tho most widely circulated papers
t Great Britain now are boldly advocating
a policy of "fair trade," or "do to others
s they do to you." Agalust this sentiment,
howover, tho consul says, must be set tho
natlonaLdlsllko to chango established Insti
tutions, .of which free trade Is ono of tho
most fundamental.
In regard to educational reforms In the
United Kingdom, Mr. Boylo says that the
universally acknowledged Inferiority of
Great Britain to most of the leading na
tions, particularly tho United States and
Gormnny, Is given frequently as ono of tho
chief reasons why Great Britain Is being
outstripped in her manufactures.
Amrrlrnn Workmen Uxuel,
A particularly Interesting portion of Con
sul Boyle's report Is that wheroln ho placiM
the American and tho British workman
Ido by sldo In a comparison which places
tho American far to tho fore. English
manufacturers, he says, find It nlmost Im
possible to get tbo same amount' of product
from machines as la obtained In America.
' inero are iwo reasons lor miir, qaysnr,
Boyle, First, the average British work
man Is not aB adaptable as tho American
and dopH not so readily got command of
new appliances; and, second, that It is not
tho custom of the country for an English
man, whether cicrk, mechanic 6r laborer,
to work as hard ns nh American. Then, too,
states Mr. Boyle, the English workman Is
Inclined to spilt very fine hairs ho will
often refuse to do anything autslde of a cer-
aln line, rigidly .laid down by the1 custom
of his, craft, generally and by his trade
union, in particular.
Tho small extent to which up-to-date la
bor-saving machlnory Is ucd In Great
Britain as compared with America, and
even Germuny, Mr. Boyle says', Is Just now
a leading topic of discussion. EngllBh man-
ufneturers,. Ije. ,says, aro handicapped, by
iuuduii vi i.iuii ruijuu; uau k ui uuuiuuivil
plants. The rule In England, says ho. Is
fur a plant or machine not to bo roplaced
until It Is absolutely worn out. Tho ques
tion Is, ho says, will It do? not "can It bo
Improved?"
In tho meantime, says Consul Boyle In
closing his report, "now Is tho time for
American manufacturers to get a stronger
foothold In this country."
THERE ARE TWO LULU M'COYS
Chlcnico Woman Transfers Property
to Which She Had no
Clnlm.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24. An alleged fraudulent
transfer of a Kansas farm valued at $15,000
Is the charge brought against Mrs. Minnie
McCoy and her daughter, Lulu McCoy of
Chicago, who appeared beforo a mnglstrato
hero today. Tho two women wore nrroBted
In Chicago yesterday on complaint of
Charles McCoy, who claims that his sister,
named Lulu M. McCoy, la tho rightful
owner of tho land, and that the Lulu McCoy
named as the defendant mado use of tho
similarity of names to trausfer land In
which sho had no rightful Interest.
Joseph McCoy of Phillips county, Kansas,
original owners of tho land, died In 18S9 and
left tho land 169 acres of bottom land to
his daughter, Lulu M. McCoy. Up to two
yoars ago she had no debt, but all the laud
was still In her possession, although man
aged by another. In 1809. however, a "per
soual" stating that "If Miss Lulu McCoy
will correspond with James Coffey of Wood
ruff, Ia sho will learn something to her ad
vantage." appeared In n Chicago paper.
Charles McCoy alleges that this. advertise-
meat was answered by Mrs. Mlnnto McCoy
and that as a result a transfer for tho land
to Coffey was signed by Mrs. McCoy's
daughter, Lulu. Mrs. McCoy told tho police
that Coffey gave her daughter J7S9 for the
deed. Coffey claims the land was sold to
Wing of Hamburg, la, Wing reached Chi
cago with his attornoy. Wing Bald ho was
acting In good faith and that ho gave
Coffey $900 to' get the signature of Miss
McCoy to tho deed, supposing that the
rightful owner nlono .would be found bear
lng1 that name
Mrs. Mlnnlo McCoy Is credited with ns
serttng thnt sho had no reason to bcllevo
that tho land might not have been willed to
hfcr daughter, as sho ,had relatives In Kan
sas. Mrs McCoy and her daughtor de
clarcd their willingness to transfer to Wing
ICO acres of land lu Michigan to reimburse
him It It Is found that the Kansas farm
should bo transferred back to tho other,

Tho grand Jury ran up ngalnst a stone
wall yesterday morning when It tried to get
evidence from Slg. Kohn concerning an al
leged policy shop thnt has been conducted
n this city.
Did Lawrence Fay ever pay you any
money for policy?" was tho question which
Kohn refused to answer.

ntBlstant county attorney, nnd ho nttempted
to get an answer from Kohn, but failed.
, deputy sheriff was finally called and
Kohn was put under arrest and taken be
foro Judge Baker.
Will It Incriminate you It you nn-
wcr?" Judge Baker asked.
Kohn replied It would not.
"You must answer then," the judgo said.
Thero la no excuso for your refusal to
bey the orders of tho court and your fail
ure to answer will put you In contempt."
Kohn was obdurate. Ho stated that he
would not answer the question even If his
failure to do so would put him In Jail.
Under tho Instructions of the Judgo a
bailiff took chargo of Kohn and was told
to bring tho man Into court again yesterday
ttcmoon that ho may havo another oppor
tunity to answer tho question.
Kohn rofuscd to nnswer several questions
sked him by tho grand Jurors, but finally
consented to answer all but tho question
hlch brought him Into court. Early In
tho morning ho hesitated about answering
tho following question asked by John Grant,
foreman of tho grand Jury: "Did you ever
receive any money for policy In the ab
sence, of tho other man (Orotic) and turn
It over to him when ho came In?" Kohn
finally anrwered this question in tho nega
tive. Many witnesses wero called bctoro the
grand Jury yesterday. Proceedings wero
clayed by the refusal of Kohn to nnswer
questions and after he was turned over to
Judge. Baker, Oscar Knrbach nnd halt a
dozen other witnesses wero called Into tho

Too Much Holiday Fun and Folly
Too much of a good thing! That's what we arc
all liable to take during a holiday season. Healthy,
jolly people will do it and make themselves sick.
"In time of peace prepare for war;," and have about
the house a pleasant, perfect1) palatable, positive
medicine for sour stomach, sick headache, colic,
winds, belching, biliousness, furred tongue, lazy
liver, constipation, bad breath, bad taste, alt liable
to result from holiday over-indulgence. Cascarcts
Candy Cathartic is what you want; a tablet after a
big meal will prevent sickness, or a tablet atnight.
before going to bed, after a good time, will fix you,
all right for morning, and let you get up clear as a
bell, ready for business or pleasure.
