of the Nntlotml Iragup base ball magnates ,
which Im * broil In sc-slon here for two or
throe days past , Htiil of which , up to today ,
the nenprmprr reporter * wore unable to
mrure nny ilndnlio Information , camp to nil
end thin aflornonn and all but Messrs.
Brush and Hnrt left for their homos.
While the representatives of the various
clubs declined to give out the least Informa
tion til ) to the tlmo of their departure , It
can be Rluted upon the best of authority
that n n result of the meeting IxwlHVlllo
and I'lrvpland will be dropped from the
National league. It Is also leasonably sure
that naltlmoro and Washington will not be
In that organization when the coming
venson Is opened. Indeed , so fur us Wash
ington ! ' ronprrned. the matter Is already
pr.irtleiill.v stilled. Hut there Is n hitch on
tlii' Hnltlmorp proposition itpnn which the
circuit conunlllep and the representatives
of thp latter club" fulled to reach an agree
ment. However , Messrs. Hiinlon , Aboil ,
Soden nnd Ilbbllt went past together-on th"
sump irnln this afternoon nnd It Is Inti
mated thai tlipy may IIP able to reach n
satisfactory solution on the Ualtlmoro mat
ter before they urrlvc home.
In case , however , that no scHlenienl Is
made In regard to llnltlmore. then It In
probable that Iho National league will con
sist of ten clubs.
Cleveland will undoubtedly be In the
American nssoclatlon , although no papers
have been signed to that effect ns yet.
President Han Jci'iiwon of tlhp latter orgnil-
Izatlon has made n proposition which will
In nil probability be accepted. The same
Is trup of Louisville. An offer has been
ade for that club by the Anierlacan asso
ciation , which Is now under consideration ,
with Indications that the deal will eon bo
closed.
President Johnson of the American asso
ciation said he would put the best club In
Cleveland that money could buy. lie.also
said that he was still negotiating for a clili )
In Chicago and under certain conditions
would lun'e. u club In that city. The Na
tional league magnates took every precalt-
llon to keep their presence In town a secret.
Knrh of them registered nt the Hollendetl
under a llctltlnus name and In most cases
actually denied tholr own Identity when

CANALS TO CHECK RAILROADS
Governor HocmeveH Siilinilln Hi-oorC
of Commission to XCTV York
Leclxliitui-e.
ALBANY * , N. Y. , Jan. 25. Governor
Hoosevell < , In transmitting to the legislature
today the report of the New York Commerce
commission appointed In 1S9S , directs especial
clai attention to the way In which the rail
roads , and particularly the railroads of this
state , discriminate against the city of Now
York In the Interest of competing ports.
The committee shows that the differential
agreement Is made so ns to overcome the
advantage which New York would have
under natural conditions as tbo cheapest
route to foreign markets for the products
! the west , and comments with especial
severity upon the New York railroads which
have received benefits from the state and
yet participate In the discrimination , to the
serious Injury of Now York.
The commission , Governor Roosevelt says
the message accompanying the report.
discovered that "tho question of the canal
was really the central question around which
hinged all others concerned with benefiting
the commercial development of New York or
arresting the decline of this development.
This Is a further proof , If any bo needed ,
the Immense Importance of the canal
and extreme unwisdom of abandoning It as
outworn Instruction.
"Tho commission makes eight recommen
dations for legislative action. To seven of
these , there can be no question In my opin
ion. Proper terminal facilities should bo
Immediately provided as the commission
outlines. The act regulating the fees and
charges for elevators should bo amended.
The act limiting corporations designed to
navigate the canals to a capital stock of
$50,000 should bo repealed. "
The governor also dlrocls especial at
tention to that portion of the commission's
report which treats of European canals. "It
appears from this , " the message says , "that
tbo most highly developed portions of
Europe there has been an Immense positive
and relative. Increase In the canal systems
and In the traffic upon them ; so that the
experience of Germany , Russia , France ,
Belgium , and In short all tbo great Indus
trial communities where canal work Is pos
sible. Is that U is desirable and profitable
keep up the development of the canals as
fast as the railways are developed.
"It Is alleged , however , that owing to
America's advanced position In the equip
ment nnd management of Its railways , as
compared with France , the problem hero Is
different , the canals being hopelessly at a
disadvantage , It being alleged specifically
thai DIP railroads competing with the canals
now carry freight so cheaply that under
circumstances would It pay to transport
along nn artificial waterway through this
stale. This subject the commission dis
cusses at length. They como to the con-
elusion , and fortify It by arguments which
seemingly Irrefutable , that If the canals
) modified to meet the requirements of j i
business of today freight can be trans- | , t
ported upon them at about ono-thtrd of the !
cost by rail , and that , so far as human fore
sight can look Into the future , this result H
be guaranteed for at least a generation. m
the facts thus set forth are irue , and' '
seemingly they cannot be successfully con- of p
trovorted , it Is a matter of vital Interest
rc
New York fttato , and to Now York City , '
Buffalo nnd the great cities between them ,
that the canals should bo put upon a really
satisfactory working basis. "

They were together In a long conference and
neither official would deny today that this

that the Mobile & Ohio had been told

:
"If the Mobllu & Ohio Is going to ho sold

The order carried dismay to the hearto of
employes in the railway mall service , who .
had been planning a vigorous campaign In
support of tholr contention for a roclassillca-
tlon of the service. Mr. Smith , however ,
hail no intention of leaving them In thn
lurch or of having the plan defeated through
lack of Riipport. Ho hat ) hiinwolf laid bcforo

the claims of the employes , with a slrong
argument In favor of Increase In payment.
He points out thnt the United States expcctH
more from Ha employes In this Herviec and
payH them leas than the leading countries
Europe. Compared with France , our
railway mall employes do the work of two
men nnd receive compan-i'vely ' lew pay. In

DRUG TRUST IS DISRUPTED

Their Klfort ( o Maintain n
Scule of Prlorn.
The local * drug trust went to pieces Thurs
day and lurh of the fifty-nine at ctho.-arlei
In the combine will make war upon hie fel
lows In Iho manner ot the "cut-raters. " It
was decided at the meeting ot the Retail
Drug Healers' association that It wns uscl s ,
to attempt to maintain a pricesche.lulc nn < i
Iho association accordingly disbanded. The
oilier M were : P. 11. Myers , II. 1) ) . tirnhim.
Otto Selffcrt and N. A. Ktilm. The a-live
"cut-raters" worn C. H. Sehacfer , Sherman
it McConnell and the department store ; .
Waldron & Campbell wcie later forced to
join the Independent clement.
In speaking of the trust Gustav llnlm , ono
of the prime movers In the combine , said :
"H wns necessary for the druggists to aban
don their understanding on prices bec.iue
Itaa impossible to prevent the 'cut-raters'
from securing shipments from jobbers and
manufacturers. The so-called trust was or
ganized three months ago In an effort to es
tablish prices on drugs and prescription- *
which would allow u reasonable margin of
profit. Far example , wo wore soiling a
standard brand of sarsaparilla for 75 cents
for whU-h wo paid CO cents. On the schedule
arranged by the association articles were
listed at prices which left a fair profit with
out hardship to anyone concerned.
"Wo found it Impossible , however , lo pre
vent dealers not In the association from se
curing all the. supplies they wanted. They
had various methods of gelling gootls. ob-
obtalning them mainly through brokers In
Chicago and St. Louis. When they found
themselves curtailed in this direction the'cut
raters' worked through country merchant1 ; .
Dealers in the small towns could often 111
afford to purchase drugs In five-gross lots ,
thereby securing the extra discount , and so
were willing to dispose of the excess amount.
The struggle was a harvest for the broker *
who sent out a list weekly to 'cut-raters' of
material on hand. All the druggists will
now be nit-raters. It will simply bo a ques
tion of who can cut the hardest. "
There was great satisfaction among the
nonconformists as to the course of events.
They felt they had gained a pronounced vic
tory in the disruption of the trust. Ono of
the flrm of Waldron & Campbell reinarkel
that although they had originally gone inta
the combine their sympathies were now al
together with Hie bolters. TUe downtown
location of this firm and the proximity to
the cut-raters made their membership in the
trust n ruinous connection.

VICTORIA , H. C. , Jan. 25. The steamer
Mlowora , whiih arrlveJ today from Aus
tralia , reports that thirty-nine deaths have
thus far occurred at Honolulu fiom bubonic
plague. Ono white woman was among the
victims. The Mlowera brought neither mall
nor patsengers from Honolulu , off which
port It anchored for a short time.
The Honolulu harbor ofllclals reporlcd In-
torisland trade as paralyzed. HIIo has so
effectually barricaded its doors against the
Introduction of the disease that its protec
tive force has orders to shoot anyone at
tempting to do = k steamers from Honolulu.
Immigrant steamers continue to arrive at
Honolulu from Japan and the quarantine ae- '
commodatlons are taxed to more than their
capacity. In Honolulu a panic prevails and
the danger Is vastly intensified by the pop
ular terror.
