10. The National Aa-oclatlon of Base Ball Cluba adjourned today without taking any action on the draft by tha Western league of the city of Topeka from the Western association. Tli la leaves the question of an eight-club circuit for the Western league up In the air unles a special meeting of the association can be called or another plan devised for placing soma other city In the Western league. The cities of Wilmington and Trenton, claimed by the new Atlantic league, were awarded to the Trl-State league and tonight the representatives of the sis. remaining clubs In the Atlantic league met and agreed to form an Independent league.

When the board of arbitration met today It voted to admit tha Trl-State league to territorial rights In Wilmington, and Trenton, N. thereby quashing tha application of the newly organised Atlantlo league. Inasmuch as the application of the Atlantlo league for membership Includes these cities, the board decided that It would not consider the application until It had been changed, eliminating Wilmington and Trenton from the Atlantic league. Territorial Right DeSaed. Secretary J.

H. Farrell stated that the grounds under which the Trl-State application for the territorial rights waa granted were that the Trl-8tate. though recently admitted, had a prior claim upon the field, on account of Its older organisation. A league standing adjacent to1 any territory may be consulted before that adjacent territory la allotted to another league. Beside settling the Atlantto-Trl-State affair, the board disposed of a number of minor cases.

The board decided that all players In the Pacific league prior to the Ban Francisco earthquake last spring, unless they have been sold, drafted or released In writing, shall revert to the Pacific Coaat league. Vnder the stress of the earthquake difficulties many of the players left the coaat and have not returned. The Columbus (O.) club asked for the return of 1309 draft money spent by It in the effort to draft a player named Fohl from the Toungstown (O.) club. Later the Columbus club found that Fohl waa not eligible to draft. The application of a player named Carina to have his name stricken from the re- servo list of the Austin, club was granted.

The claim of the Dallas, club filed against Player Tate of the Sioux City, club for 1125 advance money was disallowed. With the conclusion of all business the board adjourned and the delegates to the National association met In final session, President P. T. Powers presiding. Next Meetlnst la October.

The association made several constitutional changes and decided to hold the next annual meeting In New York on the third Tuesday in October of this year. With a view to regulating salaries and making them uniform in each league, at least to the extent of putting a limit on them, an amendment of article xlll of the constitution waa adopted. This amendment provides for a maximum monthly salary limit for each club of the several leagues below Clasa A. the classification governed by population requirements, and to be fixed by the respective leagues. A statement of the maximum limit shall be fixed with the secretary of the board of arbitration Immediately after the opening of the championship season In each of the league affected and It shall be the duty of the national board to enforce It.

Eaforelaar Salary Limit Rale. Upon complaint of any league club that certain leagues or clubs are violating the prescribed limit It shall be the duty of the board of arbitration to call a meeting; of the league of which the offender la a member and the books be opened for tha Inspection of the secretary of the board or such member thereof aa he may designate. If It be shown to the satisfaction of such representative -that the salary limit Is being exceeded, the offender shall be given days In which to readjust players' salaries so aa to comply with the rule. Failure to comply shall be subject to a fine of $24 to the offending club for every day until such readjustment, the fines to go to the treasury of the association. This amendment wipes out the present aectlon IS.

It was deemed best to authorise each league to establish its own salary limit, inasmuch as conditions differ In various parts of the country. Poat-Seasoa Games. The association took a stand the same aa that of the major leagues with reference to post season games, and amends Ita constitution to the extent that no club snail be permitted to participate In such games, except under the rules and regulations of a board of control, aa shall be decided upon by the national board of arbitration. The national board waa glfen power to Impose penalties for offenses against this Amendment. The board passed a resolution putting all players who are Ineligible to play in the association In the eligible list of the Trl-State league.

Provision was made for the trial of players and umpires against whom charges may be mad. In article xxvlt, an Insertion was made Imposing a penalty of ISO for Invasion of territorial rights. Defeated In their attempt to secure pro tection from the National Association of Base Ball Leagues, the presidents of the aix clubs comprising the new Athletic leagu held a meeting tonight and formulated plans for an Independent league. The Athletic league. It was announced at tha conclusion of the meeting, will contest the Trt-8tat league, which secured the protection the Atlantic leagu failed to obtain.

CLASH BETWEEN GAINES AND MAHON Pennsylvania Member A ceases Mat from Tennessee af Falsehood and Fore Only Prevents Phya teal Fneonater.

WASHINGTON. Jan. house today not only was the center of a threatened personal encounter between Repre-sentnlve Onlnea (Tenn.) and Represenatlve Mahon growing out of Mr. Oaines' bill to "dork" members for chronic absence, but It also passed the army appropriation hill and began the consideration of the fortifications bill. Several amendment were made to the army bill.

The fortifications bill was taken up, but no progress waa made, the time being consumed by the statements of Representative Smith In charge of the bill. Mr. Fltsgentld (N. who represents the minority In the appropriations committee, and Mr. Oalnea (Tenn.) In a speech on his "docking" bill.

The house at 4:45 p. m. adjourned. The army canteen wa again today under discussion In tha house of representatives. While the army appropriation bill was up, Representative Morrell (Pa.) Intimated that he would like, to attach a paragraph doing away with the anti-canteen law In line with a bill he had Introduced In the first session of tha Fifty-ninth congress.

Army Officers Favor Canteen. Mr. Hull In charge of the bill, stated that the paragraph would be new legislation and a point of order would therefore 11 against it. He stated, however, that the testimony of army officers waa almost uniformly to the effect that the canteen waa a good temperance measure and that Its abolition had resulted In desertions and a greater degree of drunkenness. On the other hand, he said, he was receiving all the way from 10 to 100 letters a day, whose authors are distributed all over the country, contending that the canteen would be a crime against society and protesting against Its re-enactment.

Between' these two widely separate views It was the disposition of congress to let conditions go on as now, providing the posts with post exchangee and furnishing hot coffee. This gave Mr. Morrell an opportunity to tell the bouse some things about the discrimination practiced between officers and men regarding post exchanges. "If," he said, "the Increase of drunkenness continues In the army at the present rate it may becotne a very serloua matter in preventing men from enlisting In the army." He said the anti-canteen law waa doing th reverse of what had been anticipated. Instead of lessening drunkenness it was increasing It and it was driving men out of the army post to low dives.

Galaes and Mahon Clash. Late this afternoon Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) and Mr. Mahon (Pa.) were only prevented from meeting In a personal encounter by the Intervention of membera on the floor of the house. Mr.

Gaines waa making a speech on his bill to "dock" members' pay for absence from the house and was being twitted by both sides of the chamber to his evident embarrassment. During his speech he charged Mr. Mahon with being absent from the house 96 per cent of the time. Previous to this sweeping assertion Mr. Gaines had read excerpts from the Record In relation to the withholding of pay In the Fifty-third congress and the part Mr.

Mahon had played at that time. Mr. Mahon remained stlent throughout Mr. Oalncs' speech, with the exception of interjecting a remark or two at the beginning. When Mr.

Gaines had concluded Mr. Mahon rose. He explained how In the Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth congresses he had had 17,000 due him and that Speaker Crisp had given him an order on the sergeant-at-arms for the amount, which was paid. Then coming to the crux of Mr. Gaines' charge, Mr.

Mahon thundered: "Any man who charges me with being away from this house 96 per cent of the time tells an untruth." Mr. Gaines started down tha aisle from his seat. "No man can tell me I He," he exclaimed. Mr. Mann who was In the chair, ordered both men to their seats, Mr.

Mahon obeying the command, while Mr. Gaines stood two seats away from the center of the chamber shaking both fists and head at the Ponnsylvanlan. Mahon Repeat Charges. When order had been restored Mr. Mahon again rose.

Having been cautioned by the chair that it waa against the rules to ad. dreaa a member In the second person, he measured his words, saying he would apeak In the "fourth person." He then said: "The charge of th gentleman from Tennessee that I am away from this house per cent of my time Is a deliberate falsehood." With a rush Mr. Gaines reached the center of the chamber, making directly toward the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Insisting as he went that no man could call him a liar without personal chastisement. The rush of Mr. Gaines upon his adversary brought a dosen members before the speaker' desk.

Messrs. Ollle James of Kentucky, Taylor of Alabama, Bell of Georgia, Williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, and Staffc rd of Wlseoraln grabbed Gaines, who, resisting vigorously, was borne back to his seat Mr. Mahon seemed to wait for the Impact which never came. With Mr. Gaines back In hi seat, the Pennsylvanlan made his speech of explanation as to how he became connected with the Invoking of an old statute compelling membera to forfeit pay for the time absent from the house.

He said the charge that he was away from the house 96 per cent of the time was a He on its face and that he waa there 9S per cent of time, as every member who cared to Inquire could ascertain. Oil on Tronbled Water. Mr. Lacey of Iowa called for the reading of the statute relating to the docking of member' pay, and he was followed by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, who explained the reasons for the statute.

Mr. De Armond of Missouri a-ked that the' minority views of the Judiciary committee on the atatute be printed. When this colloquy waa In progress the friends of Messrs. Gaines and Mahon were engaged In an effort to bring about a reconciliation, in which they were successful, and at Its conclusion Mr. Mahon rose to a question of personal privilege.

He stated that he did not desire to Impugn th motives which prompted Mr. Gaines to utter what was an untruth about his absence from the house, but he desired to say that his Information was Incorrect He had no desire to offend the gentleman from Tennessee; he classed him among his friends, but wanted him to understand the person from whom he obtained his Information misrepresented the facts. Mr. Gaines immediately arose and, showing deep feeling, said that the gentleman from Pennsylvania had always been his friend, but that he had been goaded beyond endurance. He regretted extremely the turn affairs had taken.

Mr. Mahon rushed across the chamber. The two men clasped hands amid loud applause. Mr. Smith of Iowa facetiously remarked that "A war had been the subject of the whole day's proceeding, resulting In almost a personal encounter," he thought the house waa In no temper to proceed further with the fortifications bill and he accordingly moved that the committee rise.

Accordingly at 4:46 p. m. the house adjourned. LAFOLLETTE BILL 19 PASSED Senate Approve Measnre Limiting Hoar of Trainmen. WASHINGTON, Jan.

This was the leading reason for the small-ness In the Increase in the production of copper. The? decrease in tha production of petroleum is explained by the exhaustion of certain fields In Texas. The further decrease in the production of quicksilver is simply In line with tha waning Undency of that Industry that ha been manifested for several years. The production of gold In the world is estimated at against 8379, 867, J7S In 1905. The production of cropper in North America (Including the United Btates, Canada and Mexico) was 1,097.300,000 pounds Id 1906, against 1,063,682,700 pounds In 19U6.

The Engineering and Mining Journal says: In the following table we summarise the production of minerals and metals In tha United States in 190G, so far as it has been possible to collect the statistics at so early a data. The figures for lead and spelter are based on reports received directly from the producers, who have communicated their actual output during the first eleven months of the year, together with their estimate of probable production in December; In many caaes the estimates are for only the lat few days of December. The other statistics are based on the reports of producers, state mine Inspectors and special correspondents. Even under these condition it Is Impossi ble to Insure accuracy. Among other difficulties there are always likely to be duplications or omissions in the reports of the producers, which can be corrected only by careful Investigation, Involving coiiBidera.

ble time. However, we are confident that the statistics which we are able to present at this early date are close approximations to the truth, and we believe that statistics giving the production within 6 per cent of the actual, presented five days ifter the close of the year, the more valuable to the industry than statistics that are precise, or within 1 per cent of the actual, submitted six months or a year later. It will be observed that there are differences between the statistics given by the vurlous contributors to this number and our own statlxtics. This la because their contributions were necessarily written and put Into type before our statistics were available, and consequently the statistic of our contributors sre generally estimates. This explanation will account for discrepancies, though the reason will be so obvious to our readers that an explanation la hardly required.
