MH , Ind. , Dec. 10. There has boon no developments yet of n startling nature In the league-association conference. The singlu league plan , It Is generally be lieved , will go through , The miigiwtes of the National lenguo re newed tbolr session nt 11 o'clock this mornIng - Ing nnd remained together continuously until 3 o'clock , when President Nick Young announced that matters were ready for the two conference committees. The long dis cussion of its ( . ommltieo report by the league is Indicative of satisfactory settlement. The plan In Its every detail was dis cussed thoroughly , Messrs. Brush , Koblnson and Day being kent busy explaining the points throughout the meeting. Messrs. Konch nnd Kotfcrs , representing Philadel phia , irtado u hard light In respect to thn tariff in their city , but this was passed over to bo settled at another time. They desire that the admission foe bo placed nt L' . " > cents. Chicago , lee , was Inclined tn object tosomo Of the provisions , but the members were ret icent In talking of this. These differences retarded the work of the day somewhat. IllHpoHitloii of Plnycrx "Tho subject of disposition of players has not yet come up.1 was Nlcic Young's response to a query lu this regard. "Wo will probably not touch upon this question at this session , " he continued , "though there Is some sentiment in favor of settling everything at this meeting. " A talk with prominent representatives of both associations rancws the fact that the ono great thing to be settled first Is the matter of establishing peace. The proposition which goes from the league , through its committee , to the associa tion committee Messrs. Von Dor Aho , VenDer Dor llorst and Elliott Involves the twelve- club plan solely. It rests with the associa tion which clubs of that organization shall compose the roster. The " only controversy will bo over Louisville , "and Columbus may take the plum , but It Is doubtful. It Is prac tically decided that the other ctubs will remain as staled heretofore , viz : Boston , Now York , Philadelphia , Brooklyn , Balti more , Washington , Chicago , Cleveland , I'lttsburg , Cincinnati aud St. Louis. Knuh Willing to Go Half Way. The Chicago association backers have boon sat down upon completely , though they will remain nnd have dim hopes of prevent ing n consolidation. The league docs not anticipate having affairs its own way , and It has shrewdly given its committee stilllciont latitude to settle amicably most all questions anticipated to aviso. The usociutiou nil through has shown n disposition to meet the league naif way in all the propositions. The Immediate appoint ment of a ponce committee at the first session showed this. Since yesterday there lias been no conference of any sort of the associ- ntlon delegates. President Pliclps called a meeting for early this evening , but none of the association people outside the peace com mittee knows what the longu" proposes. This committee not being ready to report the meeting was adjourned. Homo of the Surmises , There is nothing to do out surmise the niluntlon. An occasional wora from ono of the magnates Indicates the stale of nfTnlrs und every assurance Is of an amicable settle ment , . Tbo general view of all is that the trouble mus bo settled at this meeting if base ball Is to live. Contingent upon the result of the peace meeting a now central league is talked of. This will , of course , no subordluato to the big organization. The nucleus Is already formed and Includes the cities of Indiamipo.- lls , Columbus , Milwaukee , Detroit ana Buffalo. Xwclve-Cliih ILoiijjuo. The general plan for n consolldntlon of the two organizations Is now practically mapped out. Tno joint conference of the two p'oaco committees was finished tonight. The asso ciation pence committee , Von Dor Aho , Von ler Horst ana Elliott , mot nt 8 o'clock with the called mooting of the association dele gates. President Phelps presided. The committee recommended the adoption of tbo twelve-club league plan. After the adoption of this recommendation the association ad journed. The conference committee then arranged to meet separately the clubs that have been dropped , Milwaukee and Columbus , ahd those absorbed ; Boston , Chicago anu Phlla- aolphla , and explain the plan of their dispo sition. On the surface , there is no apparent kick from any of the clubs except Chlcnco. Columbus was the tlrst club called on for the arrangement ) ( a set tlement. It is understood her price for lior franchise is $18,000. The representa tives remained in consultation \intll 10 o'clock. ' when Chicago was culled. The league has not hold a session tonight , but has practically arrauged all the details of the plan In previous meetings. The joint conference between the two or ganizations will bo called some time tomor row. The hour has not bnon sot owing to the uncertainty of the association's settlement with Its clubs. _ jviy itALr A Outcome of IllH FiKht with Plucky Jlok Hollywood. DKAIMVOOP , S. D. , Dec , 10.

In the rapid exchange of blows Duly bhowed great proilcluucy In close arm work , landing heavily with telling oitoot on his opponent's bony. In the fourth round Daly forced the licht , driving Hollywood to the ronu.s again and again. Thu roinnlnunr of thoilght was about the same thing. Occasionally Hollywood would manage to leaa heavily un Daly's body. la the sixth round Daly struck Hollywood n hoary blow In the mouth , staggering hi in nnd bringing blood , nnd It was ovhlont that Hollywood was whipped , as when time was culled tor the sovouth ho responded gropglly.

When Kcforeo Orlswold's pistol crackca Inst nlcht ut the Coliseum fully 4,000 people , many being of the fair sex , were In their seats. The American , or Fort Omnhn , team faced the men from the land of Burns und oatmeal , and It was thought the Americans would make short work of their opponents , but hero everybody was fooled , for the Scottles were out to win and n hard fight they made of It too. The American team marched out tlrst nnd wns greeted by great cheering. Scotland's sons nlso mot with a rousing reception n mo ment later. The first thirty minutes saw the white marker on u dead line with the start , but at the end of the first hour Scotland had n foot the best of It. At ono hour unit thirty minutes Scotland gained n treed yard , and excitement was nt boiling pitch. Tlwo men , ono a soldier and tha other a Scotchman , xvcro nt this point ordered to bchnvo them selves or leave the building , n.s they bnd completely lost control of their tompcrs , The Scotchmen nt ono hour nnd forty min utes had got the rope within two feet of their Hag , nnd the admirers of tha Americans felt blue. At ono hour and fifty-five minutes the anchor of the Scotch tenm got mad at the soldier who had been roasting him gently every time ho could , and as ho arose to his feet , the Fort Omaha boys yanked him off his feet nud pulled the Scotch team pell-mell over to their Hug und won thu greatest tug on record by thlrty-Ilvo minutes , after a great struggle , which would possibly have lasted nil night only for the Scotch anchor's foolish break. Th 3 Danes next marched to the platform to the "Danish Hymn" by the band , closely followed by the men of Sweden , and n pretty sight they made in their heat uniforms. An other protracted struggle set In when the pistol was llred , and ns considerable money was up on this contest the teams took every precaution against a sudden surprise.
