On Tuesday last In the Lincoln hotel ho declared positively that llolcomb was elected end should bo given the seat unre servedly. There Is a largo class of disap pointed men who had been promised office under Majors. These , together with thoie whose money Is still up on Majors , are eggIng - , Ing on a contest by every mcani In their power. At the state capltol members of the Majors rlna are unusually active. Attorneys are busy comparing votes of different years In Uio past with that ot 1891. At Independent headquarters there Is a corresponding degree of activity. The Independent executive com- rnlttco has on hand a mass of evidence , and In dally collecting more , showing gross frauds In Lancaster county and other ills- trlcta In the state. The result of a contest , the Independents say , will Increase Holcomb's plurality to over 10,000. The committee claims to have plenty of evidence that Lan caster's plurality for Majors of 2,722 was raised 1,000 votes by Illegal colonization and registry. It Is well known , and can bo proved , that hundreds of Illegal voters wore run In from Wyoming tlo camps and Montana ballasting gangs strung along the line of the - B. & M. , and voted In precincts where com plaisant republican judges had full power. The Independents and Holcomb democrats declare unanimously that they will go to the bottom of this election In almost every county In the state and brine all fraud to the surface. They have names , locations and facts In their posteriori which , In the event of a contest , must prove most damaging- lira desperate gang that la howling for a contest. The fact that Majors at one time In the official tabulation of county returns , was a few hundred ahead ot Holcomb has been seized upon and made to work overtime as a scarecrow. The same tabulation rfiows that i at no time- previous has such a position been held by Majors , while Holcomb by the same tabulation has been from 1,00.0 to 1,500 ahead qulta often. The returns now coming In are strong Holcomb counties. They do not vary from earlier returns and will not finally reduce Holcomb's vote from earlier estimates. LTJTHEBAN CONFERENCE.

ONLY ONE NATIONAL LEAGUE Magnates Look with Llttlo Paver on the Dnplox Circuit Proposition , TWELVE CtUBS WILL REMAIN INTACT Circuit for 1805 Practically Decided Ou t Change In ttia Jtules Allow * an DlvUlon of Itccelpts Sllnor I.eiiccio Meeting * . NEW YORK , Nov. 15. A majority of the base ball magnates were present In the Fifth avenue hotel today when the twentieth con vention of the National league reassembled. Prior to the meeting GeorgeItuchstuhl of Louisville exprcised the belief , that an ar rangement would bo reached today without muoh further discussion on the subject of division of receipts. If the constitution could bo BO amended It Is believed an eight-club circuit would very soon take the place of the present tuclve-club arrangement , or If not , that four clubs ; would be glad to sell their fran chises. It Is practically acknowledged to day that all probability of a change IB at present practically at an end DO far as the number of clubs Is concerned. The only clubs that might sell their franchises will not dispose of them for what would be con- B dered a reasonable turn. Should the east ern clubs buy four of them out It would cost $200,000 , and such a sum Is far beyond what those most In favor of the project would think of giving. The scheme ot forming two circuit1) an eastern and a western one to play separate schedules and then conclude the sirle.s ; by eastern , and western games , and vice versa , while It may eventually come ( b something , does not appear today to have even the remotest chance of adoption. The convention on resuming business at once took up the discussion of the disposal of the 10 per cent gate receipts. EACH TEAM TAKES HALF. After a session lasting four and a halt hours the convention decided to rescind the 10 per cent assessment rple. It was decided that each club competing In a championship game shall draw 50 per cent of the net re ceipts of such gamev The following were elected members of the board of directors : J. T. Urush , Cincinnati ; J. F. Hart , Chicago ; Chris Von der Aher St. Louis ; C. H. Dyrn , Brooklyn ; A. H. Soden , Boston , and H. n. Von der Horst , Baltimore. The national board , consisting of A. HSoden , p. H. Dyrn nml President Young , was. reflected. The resolutions abolishing , "the 10 per cant assessment also .abolish section 49 of the rules , under which It- was provided that 10 pdr cent of the receipts of each champion ship amp.should _ bejorwarded to Washing- toll to pay tiie expense's of the olHcera and to-form a sinking fund of $25,000. In the place of stctlon 49 a new section : s added , as follows : "Out of the funds of the league now In the hands of the treasurer fie snail create a sinking fund of $12.000 , which shall be In vested In government bonds , and all other funds shall be placed In the treasury to meet current expenses. " The following resolution was passed : "That tha committee- rules Is Instructed to report to the- spring meeting- such amend ments ns may be necessary to compel the umpire to enforce the playing rules , particu larly thoseprohibiting noisy coaching and rowdy or disorderly conduct on the ball field.- field.The The following- addition was madeto rule 64 : "In addition to the penalty above re ferred to , the captain or mana.ger , or the person. In charge ol the offending , team , and responsible for the team leaving , the field , shall Incur a penalty of $100 , which phall be ipalfl In 'five days'to the secretary1 ot the league. such penalty not to be remitted under 'any a\ijcyrfstances \ | " , ' This rule Is In addi tion totUo. . $1000. penalty on a , club for leav ing Uio . .field. EASTERN LEAGUE" SO LID' . The minor leagues , w'tilch are- also In ses sion today , will have some suggestions to makn which will either maka confusion worse confounded , or will , perhaps , provide some- solution of the very tangled question with , \vhlch the magnates are now puzzling their brains. Patrick Powers. , president of the Eastern league , said ; "Our meeting ; will be a very Important one , and we will , perhaps , let In Eome light on all this business , which will be of a rather surprising nature. As to the formation of the new American association , .you can dismiss that. "There has be"en an attempt made to take Buffalo from the Eastern league. Now- Buf falo will not Join the now association should It bo formed , nor will It buy a franchise In the National league should that be possible. Buffalo Is making money , and IL would want to JiaYo a team In- the first flight In the Na tional league to- avoid losing a lot ot money. I have some communications I cannot now produce , but when I do they will create a big aeniiatlon. " ' \V123TKUX ASSOCIATION SKIiSION' .

Ives had the cue. Nothing much was done for several Innings. Then Ives warmed up and got In eighty-one toy good nursing.

At eighty he got them together again and ran to ninety-eight , when on two open shdts he scoted his century amid applause. At 105 the Wizard had the balln tn the right hand top corner , where his 150ns scored. A Httlo moro nil around pluy and again Schacffer had the balls In the right top corner , and after a few moments he brought up his second century and was loudly ut . plauded.

At 241 a dllllcult draw and a. masse brought down the house , but he missed at 211 , the score being : Bchaeffer , 1.3G2 ; Ives , 1,887. Ives scored very rap'dly ' , and by masterly play scored 100 and continued his break. His play was mainly of an all around character and some of hla cushion caroms and draws were won derful. He reached 177 , when he broke down on a plain bank. The Wizard scored thirty-four , when he missed one of tne easiest cushion shots. Ives , who had thus two good chances , again proceeded to In crease his lend , but fell down at forty-nine over a dllllcult three-cushion stroke. Jake , by good open play , got the bnllq together. With the aid of the "anchor" from time to time In the lower right hand corner , he parsed the 100. At 141) ) he fell down on n dltllcult follow , with his score 1,561 , Ives , 2,130. From then on nearly to the end of the game the runs were small. Sclmeffer had a good chance to win out after a run of 117 on his last Inlng , but he fell down on a ilHHcult two-cushion carom.

Fully 6,000 people assembled at-Tsttersalls1 to see both exhibitions. Trie 'first round In the' Hall- Baker match was principally devoted by tha men to "slzlngr each other up , " al though towards the close Hall hit Baker quite freely. In the second round Baker led wildly , but when Hall got bock at him he received several blows which left him badly winded. In the third Hall landed on Baker's face as he pleased , but did not seem disposed to push things. In the fourth round Baker started In to rush Hall , but was quickly stopped with a. hard right and left. Hall could seemingly have knocked him out had he followed him. However , a" * Baker was on his feet at the end of the round , he was declared winner. Hall complained that hls stomach was weak , and he was unable to exert his full strength. Hall knocked Billy Woods down In the first , but Woods saved himself by clinch ing at every opportunity. He repeated these tactics throughout the fight , and managed to stay the four rounds.

The question was not so much a tariff Issue as a great many people are led to think. The people all over the country ex pected that the party In power would bring better times , and when those times did not materialize , they turned their ballots against them. The same cause defeated Harrison two years ago. When prosperity languishes the people blame the party In power as the cause of It or at least as being able to restore the normal condition ot affairs. Dut I think that things will brighten up so that wo will have a decidedly spirited contest. " "Who do you think will bo the next presi dential candidate on the democratic ticket , and will Cleveland run for n third term ? " "The next democratic candidate to run for the presidency will bo Adlal E. Stevenson , and ho will have the united support of all factions of his party. Ho Is the logical can didate , and he comes from a state which can bo carried by the democrats with his name leading the presidential ticket. He Is the best man we can take. I do not think that the party would make a mistake. The elec tion ot last Tuesday settled the fate ot sev eral prospective candidates , and I am more than ever convinced now that Adlal E.

There la Httlo to IMJ said that has not been sad ( of "Tho County Fair , " Nell Burgess * faithful picture of Now England life , which carried one back to childhood lait night at Doyd's theater. The tccnt of the country permeates the play and nils the nostrils with an aroma ot simple pleasures , of loves , ot duties well performed ; In a.word , the dear delights which are so Inseparably associated with that part of the republic which gave to history the pioneers of a now civilization erected upon a stern and rock-bound coast. The play has preached Its lessons of holy living to thousands of theater-goers , and Itself Is an Idyl In l simplicity , appealing Irre sistibly to the hearts of these who have fol lowed the varying fortunes of the m&n and women who make the storr very real and very natural , As great dramas go , it would hardly stand a cruclcal test It placed along side the works of Mollere , Sardou , Ibsen or our own I3ronson Howard , but as a New England character sketch , with just enough story to make It Interesting , "The County Fair" has a place quite as prominent In the history of the stage as the plays that go thundering down the ages , remarkable In the treatment or great social problems. In the handling ot strong emotions and still stronger human passions. The company Is excellently balanced , MUs Marie Dates playing the leading role of Abigail True- with all her old-time versatility , bringing to the part excellent stage training and a knowledge of stage business abso lutely essential In the development of a typo | by no means rare either In 'Now England or. the mlddlo states. Otis Tucker Is In the very competent hands of J. Lo Braso , who Injects a great deal ot genuine humor In the character , which Is a companion piece to Uncle Josh of the "Old Homestead. " F.

" Co ml Hi ? Attractions. Few subjects present a more fruitful Held to the. dramatist than the balmy lifeof the south , with Its diverse- types of character , and where extraordinary events ot high dramatic value Impassible In any other en vironment are of everyday occurrence. it Is this life that the author has endeavored to depict In "On the Swanee River , " the southern comedy-drama In which Marie Wellesley will be seen In the principal role at the Fifteenth Street theater for the week of November 18 , beginning Sunday matinee. A short synopsis of this play Is that General - oral Ualton , a once- wealthy ex-confederate- officer , meeting with financial reverses. Is compelled to mortgage his old plantation tea a miserly old money lender , and Is to medt the mortgage at a given hour on a certain day. General Dalton returns with the money In time to pay the debt , but Is struck from behind and Instantly killed by the miser. The son of General Dalton witnesses tile murder and after a struggle Is knocked senseless and upon recovery his reason Is de prived It I in by the blow , leaving him a help- ; losrvlmlf-wlt , with Jia memory of the past. i TJieremaining , acts of the play show how the daughter of the murdered man Is stricken Mind from the effects of a severe attack of 'brain fever , Into which she Is thrown by the death , of her fatljer. The aunt , an ad venturess , schemes , with the miser for the- p'ossesslon ot the dead man's property , but she Is oul itled by Major Barlow , an old friend oMffehcral Dalfom a West Polrit'iia'det , .and. the. faithful old" nSefQ aunt.

" "On the Swanee River" bears a striking similarity to this drama. Like "Old Kentucky. " they carry a pickaninny band ot fourteen Uttlc darkles , who come forward la songs and dances. They also carry a car load of special scenery anil the famous Mng nolla quartet , and present a realistic repre dentation of life In the > aunny eoutli. The company la a good otic.

" "Dorcas , " which Is In three nets , combines the pleasing qualities ot bath an operatic am dramatic entertainment , as It Is replete wit ) bright , parkllng and pretty music , all o which are In strict keeping with Us brilliant comedy llnca. "Dorcas , " the Idea of which Is taken from an old German comedy , takes place during the aoventeenth century.

Speaking of the new bal let In "Aladdin , Jr : , " Mr. Murray said last night : "The two premier dnnsueses In 'Aladdin , Jr. , ' cannot , I am sure , be excelled on any of the stages ot the London and I'arls theaters. It Is surely unnecessary to tell the patrons ot IJoyd's theater anything about Martha Irmler , who has been with the Amer ican Extravaganza company for three years , and who Is as great a favorite herean she Is everywhere else. The new premier. Mile. Catherine Bartho , who will make her first appearance In Omaha on the opening night of 'Aladdin , Jr. , ' was engaged by Mr. Hender son directly from the Imperial theater , Mos cow , She Is certainly thd finest ballet dancer seen In Russia for many years.
