The meeting adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow

NEW YOIIK , Nov. 2 John H. Day , "presi
dent of the New York club , has -Issued a
card "to the press , " In which ho says :
Soon after the announcement in the public
press that the brotherhood of ball players
contemplated severing its connection with
the national league , the Now York club re
ceived n communication from John , I. Hogcrs ,
counsel of the league , to thu effect that the
Icnguo clubs hold an option on the services
of such players ns would bo-reserved for
the Reason next ensuing. Wo instructed our
counsel to lay the whole matter before thn
eminent law firm of Kvaits , Choulo
& .Hciinmu and sccuro their opinion.
Evnrts , Chouto & Ucaipan , in their opinion
say :
'Tho of law which In
principle , our opln-
Ion , should govern courts in deciding the
rights of parties under this contract are the
same as that has been npplie'd by the courts
in determining the oblicutlons of actors
under their contracts with managers of
theaters. A base ball club stunus in the
snmo , relation to tlio base bull players employed -
ployed by it that the manager of a thcato'r
stands to the actors employed by him. and
'
th'cro nro many cases , ns you may
know , m our New York courts
where actors und actresses , while
under contract with one manager , have been
enjoined from playing elsewhere. If base
ball players reserved for the season of 1891)
by the Now York club , under Its contracts
with them , should orgnni/.o themselves into
a now club nnd play us mombcrsof that club ,
it would bo a violation of thnlr contract with
the Now York club , just as much as if they
contracted to play with some club now play
ing , nnd In either case wo think the courts
ought to enjoin them from playing with any
club except New York. "
I like IK Iliirdlo Convince.

Civil Samca Commissioner Thompson ,
who Is foremost with Commissioners Lyman
and Hoosovclt hi demanding the prosecution
of the persons who hava lately boon collect
ing campaign funds In the departments , Is
out In n very strong denial of the charge
that ho , under the Cleveland administration ,
went around with Chairman Dnrnum's
ngonts while ho WHS assistant secretary of
the treasury , and assisted In collecting po
litical assessments from the employes.
All of the local newspapers demand prose
cutions with n vlow to forever putting n stop
to this practice. Some of thorn , howovar ,
nro suspected of wanting to make the law
obnoxious by tbo prosecutions. Even the
Post , edited by ex-Postmaster General
Hatton , who bus bean lighting the civil
fiorvlco so fiercely , demands the enforcement
of the law In this Instance.
The Slur , the conservative paper of the
district , this evening urges a vigorous prose
cution nnd punishment of , those collectors.
It says : ' 'Tlio clerks need to
bo protected both ngalnst tbo
the extortion of compulsory political assess
ments und against any infringement of their
conceded rights ns American citizens to con
tribute ns they please. If this double pro
tection continues to bo extended the spoils
men who wish a construction placed upon
the law which will make it offensive to the
American Idea of personal liberty and per
haps cause It to bo pronounced unconstitu
tional will bo disappointed.
"It is stated that the civil sorvlco commis
sion has ovldonco which establishes con
clusively unmistakable violations of the law
concerning the solicitation of political con
tributions. If this bo the case there will
happily bo no occasion or temptation to re
sort ! o the drained Interpretation of tlio law
which sonio enthusiastic civil service re
formers und the shrewd spoilsman nliko ad
vocate. The former wish to glvo the widest
possible scope to a good law , the latter wish
to stretch it until ll breaks. There Is very
little doubt now that this will bo the end of
the politicnl contribution business in the de
partments. Both parties are willing to dis
continue it. "
