FEW PLAYERS SIGNED It Seems as if They Are Holding Off to See Wbat tbe New Association Amounts To. Matters are progressing favorably toward an eight club circuit for the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs, the latest evidence that such a state of affairs will exist next season being the announcement of N.

E. Young, president of the League, that he has Just been Instructed to prepare an eight club schedule. His orders previously were to make up two schedules, one of ten clubs nnd one of twelve. At the present time it looks as If the reduction of the National League from twelve to eight clubs will result in the formation of a stronger Eastern and a stronger Western League. This Idea is strengthened by a conference just held hy P.

T. Powers, president of the Eastern League, nnd "Ban" Johnson, president of the American League, formerly the Western, with John T. Brush, chairman of the National League circuit committee. In Indianapolis. Although it has been stated that Brush has been In this city for some time, he has not been here since few days after the National League meeting held last month.

Few Players Signed. National League players are signing their contracts slowly. "There Is no necessity for being In a hurry about this matter." says President Young, of the National League. "Inasmuch as the signature to a contract Is usually the occasion for a demand for advance money, and as our players are practically under contract by the terms of our renewal clause It would not make any difference If the players should withhold their signatures until the opening gnme of the season. "But under no circumstances will the Nn-tionnl League tolerate any fooling or tampering by a rival organization with men who are under contract, and should the occasion arise every legal method will be resorted to In order that both parties to our contracts shall be protected In their rights.

This course has been determined upon after careful consideration by the promoters of the Natlonnl.League, and they have the best legal authority for taking a stand against any attempt to evade or abrogate a written contract."

For the first time In the history of the State of Colorado, says the Denver Post, the right of a horse as being entitled to sufficient food and proper sneller at his master's expense Is to be tested before tbe courts, with the Humane Society upholding the horse's side of the case. The facts of the case are as follows: During the extremely cold weather and period of deep snows Inst January, Agent Bailey received reports that there was a band of horses thirteen or fourteen In number, twelve miles up In the mountains from Wan-ueta, and that tbe animals were suowed In and starving to death. They had been turned out by their owner to shift for themselves during the winter.

With a companion he made a trip on snowshoes to the place, and after considerable dltHculty found the animals. They were In the heavy timber. The snow, five or six feet deep on a level, they had packed down by tramping about, so that they were shut In by the white walls of snow several feet high, forming a "yard" such as the elks make In the aspen thickets during the winter. The poor beasts were terribly emaciated and In the last extremities of starvation. Agent Bailey and his companion returned to Wauueta and went back on snowshoes as soon as possible with hsy for the all but famished animals.

One or two died from the cold and privation, In spite of the efforts of the two men. It was three weeks before nrh onitlH ha haalun V. nn.4 1. I horses able to travel. They were then taken to Wauneta.

and their owners, known from the brands on tbe horses, notified. Agent Bailey demanded from each owner pay for the food taken to the horses and the necessary expense nf removing them from the mountains. This was refused by the owners, nnd the horses were held hv the ugent. A suit to replevin was then Instituted by the owners for the recovery of the horses. This Is the ease as It stands, and the decision of the court will determine whether or not a horse that has been left by his owner to starve during the winter may contract a board bill for which the master is liable, snd In a large degree fix tbe relations of owner and owned.

CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS United Labor League Elects Officers. All the Latest Doings Among the Workers. Important action on the strike of tbe Dingier cloth weavers was taken yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of tbe Southwark Cloth Workers' Association, in Wharton Hall, Twenty-sixth and Wharton streets. Definite plans were formulated in regard to the general demands which will be submitted by the striking weavers to President George Campbell, of the Dingley Manufacturing Company. These plans are expected to be presented to the downtown flrin today.

It was decided by the Dingley shop committee to inform Mr. Campbell that unless their demands are complied with no weaver shall work In the mill this winter. As the Southwark Cloth Weavers' Association ie a very strong one financially mid in point of numbers, the indications are that the strikers can make good their assertion. At present 175 cloth weavers are out. The Dingley mill employs weavers, but little doubt is entertained that the remainder will cast their lot with the strikers.

"Wanted Weavers to Finish Their Cut. The Dingley firm appointed- Inst Saturday nn which to pay off the strikers. When the latter went to the mill, however, they were confronted with a notice on the door, stating that the mill would be open on Monday for the weavers to "finish their cut." In other words, the cloth which remained on the looms when the strike began would linve to be entirely completed. There will be another meeting nt Wharton Hall to-night, at which the Dingley committee will make its report after conferring with Mr. Campbell.

They seem to be satisfied that Mr. Campbell wants to keep his mill open, owing to a number of large orders ou his books. Meeting: of United In1or League.

The principal business of the afternoon was the nomination of oflJcers and the question of electing a business agent for the league.

The latter question was finally dis-poseri of by a decisive negative vote. Wheu the question of admitting the eighty newly-elected delegates from the various local trade organizations arose, the chair decided against recognizing the credentials of delegates from the Keystone Assembly. 2.24. t.

Among the striking weavers yesterday the alleged departure on Saturday of two members of the Philadelphia Tapestry Mills following closely upon the heels of a committee of strikers for the hmnes of the out-of-town weavers, formed the principal topic of conversation.

MANY MEN HAVE COMEOUT In Response to the Call for Candidates to be Members of the Track Team. Special Telegram to The Times. Ithaca, January 14.

Under the direction of Captain Doming and Trainer Moakley Cornell began preparations In the early part of. the week for tbe season In track athletics. Although the records of the men who are candidates for the team do not warrant the hope that the general standard of the team will be any higher than last year, the fact that the training of the coming season will be under the direction for the first time of Trainer Moakley has caused, a general confidence that the material will be developed to a higher degree than In the past years, and that in this way a better team may be hoped for. Moakley came Into the control of the training of Cornell's athletes last fall, when he assumed the physical direction of the football candidates. His success with these men nnd later his development of what was perhaps the finest cross-country team Cornell ever produced has won the trainer many ad- herents who believe that with the present mnterlal and the proper work on the part of the men the team should equal, If not the record of last year.

Many Cundlilotes Respond. The response to the first call for candidates Issued last week brought many candidates out for Indoor work in the gymnasium nnd armory. The old track with banked corners has been again erected and for several davs the men have been hard I at work. The first and consequently the most Important work that is to be done is the training of a relay team for the wln-I ter meets of the Itoston Athletic Assocla-j tion and of Hoston College. In each of these two meets ornell annually enters a team.

Last year she was successful In the former, defeating Williams, hut suffered defeat in the latter at the hands of Princeton. The first of these events Is the meet of Roston College on the li7tb of January. Cornell Is scheduled to meet either Princeton or Williams in the one mile relay rnce. The second is the meet of the Itoston Athletic Association, which occurs on February 3V Here the distnnce Is again one mile, but Cornell's competitor Is Columbia, to whom Cornell lost the outdoor relay race at one mile at Pennsylvania's carnival last spring. The material for the Indoor relay team is good.

Hastings and Alexander, of last year's relay team, are still In college and nre training. Bellinger, another member of the team, Is training, but having given his attention to the mile run for some time past it is not likely that he will, be used for the team. Warren, of the freshmen class, who showed remarkable speed In the underclass games, and Rassett, of the sophomore class, are two promising candidates. All the candidates are working dally and hope to have a team strong enough to defent either Princeton or I Williams should either be the competitor In the Boston College meet. In the competition with Columbia at the Boston Athletic Association meet Cornell hardly expects to wiu uuless the team shows up unusually strong.

Two Meets Arranged. Reyond these two meets there Is nothing of Importance scheduled In the winter term excepting the annual Indoor meet of the I'nlverslty. The dnte for this hss not yet been definitely eettled, but It will occur in the latter part of February or in the early part of March. No great Importance Is attached to this meet. It Is given mainly as an Incentive to the men to continue training during the winter mouths and stimulate the Interest In track work among the students.

For the outdoor season In the spring some of the arrangements have been definitely made, while some of the meets are still doubtful. The annual meet with Syracuse Is assured, aa Is the meet with Princeton. The meet with Syracuse will lie held in Syracuse. The date Is undecided. The contest with the Tigers Is scheduled for May 30, nt Kluilra, N.

Y. Cornell will as usual send a team to the Intercollegiate. Her only hopes of scoring In the big games lie in the pole vault and the two-mile run. At least eight men will enter the events, however. At the annual relay races at the University of Pennsylvania Cornell will enter two teams Instead of one, as heretofore.

The new entry will be In the four-mile run. This departure is the result of the success of this year's cross country team and tbe general excellent quality of the distance material In college. THE AUTOMOBILE WEDDING It's Now the I p-to-Date Thins In Pari. Betrothed couples here who go with the times now drive In motor cars to church for the wedding ceremony, says a Paris corres- i pondent of tbe London Telegraph. The Intest of these up-to-date marriages has been celebrated at Saint Germain and the very stones of the sacred edifice, one of the most ancient In Paris, must have been shocked when the bridal party drew up to the porch, not In stately equipages, but In a long procession of some twenty horseless vehicles of the newest pattern.

A large crowd had gathered to witness the arrival. Cheers went up, mingled with humorous remarks, when the cortege of motors appeared. The bride's and bridegroom's carriages were decked out with white Iliac, chrysanthemums and ferns. The others were merely resplendent with brilliant new paint. After the ceremony the party drove away to Saint Cloud, the mechanicians of the cars playing a kind of discordant wedding march on the foghorns and trumpets with which automobiles are customarily provided here, and which, if they are Intended to spread alarm and consternation among foot passengers and horses, answer their purpose admirably.

4 English and American Eaarllsh. Many Englishmen have said that the phrase "I admire," with the meaning "I wonder," Is a "vulgnr Americanism." But tbe Boston Journal notes the fact that In a letter written by a Londoner to Joshua Barnes In 1(102 the sentence occurs: "I admire yon should take 'clerk' for a law term, which la nothing but 'clerlcus';" and the Buffalo Commercial adds that "admire," in the sense of "to like very much" "I should admire to go" haa been used In New England, and It Is thus used to-dsy. John Pickering, In 1N10, said: "It Is never thus used by the English." He was mistaken. The word haa been used commonly In Ixl-restershlre and Northamptonshire: "Ah should admolre to see 'er well took-to" (I should be delighted to see her well scolded); "I should admire to go to London to see the Queen." FARM EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES United Kingdom Takes Sixty Per Cent, of the Goods Sent Abroad. GERMANY RANKS SECOND Washinoton, January 14.

Frank Hitchcock, chief of the foreign markets division of the Agricultural Department, has prepared an Interesting collation of figures showing for the first time the respective amounts of our agricultural exports which go to the several countries nf Europe and of the other continents. The period covered Is from 1804 to 1W8. The statement shows that the agricultural exports from the I'nited States during the five years had an average annual value of Of these enormous exports about 00 per cent, found a market in the United Kingdom and Its various dependencies. The sum paid by the British people for the American farm produce purchased during the period mentioned reached as high as 4ii.J,nA3.834 a 3'ear. Great Brltnln alone took more than one-half of all our agricultural exports, the consignments credited to that country forming about 55 per cent, of the total shipments and having an average annual value of 407.701.

Germany, which ranks next to the United Kingdom as a market for the products of American agriculture, received about per cent, of the exports for 18JI4-18HS, the average yearly value amounting to France Ranks Third. France, with purchases that averaged M3.llS8.7flO a year, or about 6.8 per cent, of the total, was the third country In Importance. These three countries the United Kingdom, Germany anil France received together nearly 75 per cent, of tbe total agricultural exports. After the three countries Just mentioned the Netherlands. Belgium, Canada, Italy and Spain afforded the most important markets.

The Netherlands bought 4.3 per fnt. of the total: Belgium, per Canada, 3.5 per Italy, 2.2 per and Spain, 1.5 per cent. The average annual values of the exports to these countries were: Netherlands, Belgium, 123.731.609: Canada, S23.020.517; Italy. and Spain. JH.7H1.870.

For Portugal the average annual record was $2,709,009: for Sweden and Norway, $2.685,.

BOAT AND CREW SANK FROM SIGHT Strange Experience of Three Sailors on a Late Lake Cruise, MYSTERIOUS CRAFT SEEN Special Telegram to The Times.

Toledo, Ohio, January 14. Three sailors, Archie Delvin, Mike Kerllng and John Vtlbis. who are among the class I of what Is known as "all the year around sailors," relate a most remarkable tale of an experience In which they were partici- pants while going Into Toledo In one of tbe i late craft engaged to clean up some late lake business. Vilbls tells the following weird tnle: I "We were In sight of Turtle Light, a few I miles out of Toledo, when Mike called my attention to nn object in the distance, northwest of Turtle Light, which we discovered to be a small craft with a crew of five men, nil apparently at work hailing out a leaky boat and exhibiting signs of distress. We Immediately veered about and bore down upon the troubled crew, expecting them fto signal us nt every moment and ask for help.

"Although we soon came within easy hailing distance, they paid not the slightest attention to us. We could see them scooping water out with buckets and a piece of tarpaulin, but they gave no evidence of having any knowledge that help was near. "Suddenly, like a flash, the vessel, crew and all disappeared as If by magic. We had reached spot not more than fifty feet away when the disappearance was noted, and, to our surprise, not even a ripple was apparent on the surface of the water, nor was there any float, such as would naturally rise from the sinkiug of a craft of any character. "We bung around for some time, but nothing happened, and, with many backward glances, we finally decided that the vessel must have been suddenly drawn under by some current.

Suddenly Appeared Aealn. "We had proceeded about a quarter of a mile on the homeward jump when Archie Delvin cried: 'Look "As he spoke he pointed to the very place we had left but a few moments before. We saw tbe self-same sight that had first attracted our attention. I suggested that if we could save a life we should turn back and try it again. We shouted to the occupants of the boat, who were, as seen before, balling away for dear life, but not one of them paused for a moment.

"We paused when perhaps forty yards from the mysterious sight and. holding our vessel at ease as nearly as possible, watched the silent sailors at their work. They apparently paid no heed to each other or to any. thing but the work of throwing out the water, which appeared to be rapidly gaining on them. "After watching the apparent Illusion for several minutes, we started to again drift slowly toward the strange craft.

We had approached to about the same distance as before, when, suddenly upending, it went down like a rocket, but without even rippling the wnter's surface. "We were three ns badly frightened sailors as ever sailed on Lake Erie. We once more started for Toledo, this time, however, keep ing our eyes turned to the point where we had last witnessed this wonderful phenomenon. But It did not appear again. Cannot Explain It.

"I confess," concluded Vilbls, "that the Incident has caused me many honra of anxious thought, and I would give much for a reasonable explanation I know sailors as a lot are regnrded as more than ordinarily superstitious, but I have not very much of that In my make-up. I saw what I have related with my own eyes, and can verify my tale as I have given It to you at any time by my two companions, Delvin nnd Kerllng. Kerllng. I verily believe, will never be exaetly himself, so Impressed was he with our experience, and he doesn't like to talk about It. He says It gives blm the creeps and makes him think of dead men and the like." Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Company's Report.

Pugh and Harry F. West. Opinions of Publisher's Reader. Delicate work sells worst, because that very few people understand delicate work. In general the great public will buy anything that Is not too Individual In its sensationalism, crudeness or vulgarity.

For clever work, not unconventlouul In the Ideas It brings, there Is a fair market. The nervoua temperament of the artist Is betrayed, to a certain extent, by the character of his handwriting. There are certain common forms of commonplace or mediocre handwriting which are never seen to express delicate or original work. The publisher's reader's aim should be to let nothing that he holds Is good go unpublished. The expense of delicate and original work, especially of the work of beginners, should be paid out of the sales of the popular and successful works.

Many (ire of the opinion, and there Is ground for It. says a Manila correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing last November, that Agulnaldo has made a detour to the eastward behind our forces aud has slipped down to that identical mountain gorge where he so long bid defiance to Spain. This Is situated to the south of the present American operations, northeast of the La-guna de Buy.

It Is said tlint here the position Is absolutely Impregnable, that there is an ample supply of pure water and plenty of ground on which ample food can he raised the year round. The friends of the Insurgents In that region can easily find access to him through mountain passes In small numbers, nnd can bring extra food and other supplies, besides tidings from the outside world. In fact, the description of this happy valley would read much like that of nn enchanted laud In a fairy tale, for there Is one point upon which all who describe It agree, that when Agulnaldo retires to this refuge, nothing short of a bolt from heaven can dislodge him. Were It not for the former experience of the Spaniards, one would feel Inclined to laugh these reports to scorn, for there Is a sort of superstltutlous veil thrown over the whole matter which Is quite inconsistent with the spirit of the times. Supposing, however, that It is nn unusually Inaccessible and safe retreat and this may be granted out of deference to the Spanish army, which found Itself powerless to get the Insurgent rabbit out of its warren there must tie some way for the I'nited States troops to follow In if there was a way for Aguin-aldo to get In before them.

If he commands every high mountain pass that leads up to bis retreat, his pursuers will still find mime method of pushing their way In there, too. FOR THE POETS Little Sermon With Examples to How They Should AVrlte. One thing that has never been understood by busy people, who only have time to snatch a bite and run, says the Kansas City Journal, Is why poets pad their poems. For example, here Is a verse by a Kansas poet, who Is Inspired by tbe mistletoe season: My eyes will see tbe motion of her Hps The motion of her lips my eyes will see I long to feel my own their kisses pressing With kisses mine to pressing be. A little calculation will disclose that the flrl might have been kissed a lot quicker the poet had reached for her In the two following lines, which contain exactly the same words: My eyes tho motion of her Hps shall ses, 1 long to feel their kisses mine to pressing be.

In one of the current monthly magazines Is a poem which examples the same Illegitimate process of word stuffing, a stanxo. of which goes as follows: Down thy valleys, Ireland, Ireland, Down thy Tsllejrs green and ssd, Still thy spirit wanders walling. Wanders walling, wanders mad. If not repeated the words of this verse wuuld fill only the two following lines: Down thy valleys. Ireland, green and ssd, Htlll thy spirit, waiting, wanders mad.

However, there Is some little satisfaction In knowing that the Kansas poet quoted aliove once spent a long term In lull. He Imagined himself to be a second Mhakes-neare. and wrote some blnnlc verse In which ne nutrnged a regulation of the Fnlted Fltates Bostal Department In regard to the mailing of salacious literature.
