A NW BASEAU DEAL CINCINNATI AND BHOOKLTX JOIN THE LEAGUE. Fears That Indianapolis May Drop Ont Much Speculation Upon the Leasne's Action Vlewa of DI-; rectors and Otherav NkwYobk, November l.V A deadlock for the presidency of the A merican Association ball combination tqsulted in tbe withdrawal of the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs and their alliance with the National League, Tbia gives the League a circuit of ten cities. The subject of contention daring almost the entire day's session was a proposition to increase tbe visiting clubs, receipts from 25 to SO per cent. The Clevelands, Indianapolis, Pitta-burg and Washington Clobs favored this increase, while the wealthy clubs. New Chicago.

Boston and Philadelphia, were opposed to it. For two hours there was a deadlock on the question. Finally the opposition offered to compromise on B3' per cent. This was refused. Again there was a long pause in the proceed me-s hich was broken by a proposition of the Pittsburg and Washington Club to accept 40 per cent.

Cleveland and Indianapolis did not come dow from "SO per but they finally gave in and the matter waa settled by the adoption of 40 per cent. This change was made in section 64 of the constitution. .1 next important change in the constitution was the complete abolition of the classification clauses. This, however; was treated upon in sections SO, 81 and 32, which were entirely wiped Instead of five umpires, Jvbicb the President ot tbe League was author-zed to engage at a late hour Wednesday night, the number was increased to six, in consequence of the increase of membership. Section 9 of the constitution, which deals with the guarantee fund, was amended so as to make the bond of each club $2,000 instead of (5,000, the same to be paid in annual installments of $1,000 a year, Section 59 was so amended that postponed games can be played at any time afterward, but it was provided that two games should not be plaved in one day without the prior consent of two-thirds of all the League clubs.

President Young was authorised to designate and fix a distinctive color for each ol on uniform. Then the convention proceeded to the election of officers, Mr. Young was reelected President. F. De H.

Robinson, of Cleveland: W. ArXimick, of Pittsburg; W. Hewitt, of Washington; and Charles Byrne, of Brooklyn, were elected Directors. The deadlock in the choice of a President in the Base Ball Association still continues, although there are plenty of. rumors flying about, every one of which lacks To-day, in the corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, men who were willing to talk yesterday, declined to discuss matters, except among themselves.

or a time considerable anxiety was felt as to whether or not Kansas City and Baltimore would return to the convention to-day and thus compose a quorum. Later on, when it waa found that both would be present and they actually went into the convention, there was a general rejoicing. At 11:30 snother mm or loomed up to tbe effect that Phelps, of the Louisville, bad been given the presidential honors and that Kansas City bad withdrawn and joined the Western Association. These bits of news were followed by another setting forth that Syracuse and Detroit had applied for admission into the American Association, and that the application had been granted so as to OH the vacancies caused by tne withdrawal of the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs. Every effort was made to confirm these reports without success.

Those in the convention declined to talk about them and those on the outside bad merely beard the rumors. Kansas City has withdrawn from tbe American Association, and ten minutes later was admitted to membership in the Western Association. After the withdrawal of Kansas City, Phelps was elected President of the Association! Syracuse 'Will Join the Association. SvaACtrsE, N.Y.. November 17.

Tbe stockholders of the Syracuse Base Ball association, now having a franchise in the International Association, at a meeting to-day, directed President R. V. Miller to telegraph the Amerl can Association, in convention in New York, an application tor membership in that association. Syracuse 'is the onlv International city to make money this year, and its ball interests are in tbe bands of its wealthiest citizens, The Local Outlook. The base ball news from New York is the general topic of conversrtion on the street and about the hotels to-day.

The speculation as to what the action of the League, in adding Brooklyn and Cincinnati means, take -wide range. A great many people, well posted on base ball, regard the action aa an indicatioa that Indianapolis and Washington will not bave clubs next year. Others take, tbe view that the plan is for tbe two cities to join the' Association and fill tbe vacancies made by the withdrawal of Brooklyn and Cincinnati. The generally accepted theory, however; is that it the Brotherhood ia a success Indianapolis and Washington dropout, and permit the eight clubs, representing the same number of the largest cities in the conn-try to fight the -battle with the Association. An interview with President Brush, telegraphed the from New York, would indicate that this is the correct view to take.

III. Brush is quoted as saying in effect that if the Brotherhood ia a success Indianapolis and Washington will not have added that Cincinnati will pay a good price for some of the Hoosier players in case Indianapolis goes ont. Those who ire well posted on base ball maintain that, a ten-club League would not- tare near so well in a fight against the Brotherhood as a League composed of the old number of clubs. None of the directors of the Indianapolis Club bave bad aay word irons President Brush since he went to Xew Y'ork and they appear to be entirely ignorant of any plan for disposing of the home club to Cincinnati or any other city. Director Charles F.

Meyer feels confident that the action of tbe League does not mean that Indianapolis ia to be without a club next year "I think Cincinnati and Brooklyn were added for the purpose of strengthing the League in its fight againat tbe Brotherhood," said he. "My opinion is that when tbe League meeting convened the members saw that the Brotherhood plan waa a success, and it. was. decided to strengthen for the fight by adding Brooklyn and Cincinnati, By the addition of the two club all the tl rat-class base bali cities in the countrv are pre-empted by the League, and' if tbe Brotherhood plan is carried out the new organization will have to com pete with the League in every city except Buffalo." ''Have the directors of the Indianapolis Club any intimation that the cluh ia to leave tbe League? i "We have not. Nothing of the kind waa talked about before Mr.

Brush went away, and we bave had no Intimation of such a movement since. Tbe directors are counting on tbe club remaining here. Stepa have been taken to strengthen it for next season, and. if our plans work, we will bave a stronger club than ever before.The adoption of the rule giving the visiting club 40 per cent, of the receipts will help us out a great deal. I believe that under that plan the club can make money." "Do yon think it at all probable that Indianapolis and Washington will go into tbe Association?" "I do not.

Indianapolis can not go Into the Association because we can not play Sunday ball here." John Martin, who is supposed to keep an eagle eye on all base ball developments, had just finished res ding the account of the League's meeting when a Xews reporter asked him what be thought of the result of the meeting. "I hardly know what to think of the action of the meeting," said he. opinion ia, though, that it looks bad for Indianapolis; very bad. There isn't anything in this report about Cinoinnati and Brooklyn going into the Leaga for the purpose of strengthening tbe organization In the 1 fight against the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood' baa always proposed to tight tbe League in ita own cities, so the League ia not pre-empting Brotherhood territory by adding the two cities.

The moft ominous thing I see in the firoceedings of the League meeting is the fact hat President Brush's name does not appear on any tbe committees. He bas always been a very active man at the League meetings. Does it not look a little suspicious to. see that he ia not-, given a p'ace on a single committee? If Indianapolis is to remain in the League wouldn't be likely have a place on some of the committee?" "Do you think Indianapolis is going into the Association?" "That cant be possible unless the Association is to abolish Sunday ball, and that will not be done." George Bruenig, Secretary of the -clqb, think the League wi'l play ten clubs, and feels confident that Indiauapolis will be one of the ten. None of those Interested in the club-had any word from President Brush to-day.

The Farmer's Alliance and tbe KntKhta on Friendly Terms "and. Talking of Joining Their Inter-. eata Various Other Matters. i Atlakta, November 15. The report of the Committee on Law occupied tbe convention of Knights of Labor It was decided that, to-morrow the convention will go Into committee of tbe who: to consider the state of the order.

Several committee were appointed, bnt only routine work was done. Daring the afternoon session the convention received a delegation from ths city and Stat C. T. V. societies.

A speech was made by Mia Stokes, daring which she congratulated Master Workman Powderly on having excluded rum-aeller from the order, and on being himself a Prohibitionist. Powderly replied bv answering thst they would alwsvs find their-jfirmest allies among the Knights of Laboi When the ladies had withdrawn, the repeat of the law committee, the reading of wiicb was commenced at the morning session (was resumed. Some very important changes' in the by-laws and constitution were suggested. The most important change made wad to allow the transfer ot' a local assembly to any other district assembly, or to the General Assembly. without that ennipnt nf ifhr th 1 1 1 ri national, trade or Stat assembly, a bereto- ifore required.

It was proponed to amend the! fourth. plank of the platform, and a discussion arose which lasted until adjournment. The subject will be taken up again Monday and finally settled. The Committee on Law resumed its report immediately after the convention was called to order ana continued until the hour arrived when Colonel L. F.

A committee was appointed to escort the representative of tbe farmers to the ball, and when tbey returned they had with them, beside Colonel Livingston, Judge Henderson, Commissioner of Agriculture: R.

In Powderly's reply be thanked God for the day, and said the day when the farmer and mechanic shoult stsnd side by side and work for the same ohject bad alwaya been a dream of hi.

The entire meeting waa most enthusiastic, and every mention of the confederation of tbe two orders waa met with thundering applause. AMUSEMENTS. Little The Play and the Players New, Eleotrlo Lights. A handsome play; a handsome a handsome theater, brilliant for the first time with its multitude of incandescent electrio lights; a handsome company, both in looks, and on the principle that "handsome is as handsome doe," wa tbe scene that "Little Lord Fauntleroy" presented at the Grand Opera House last night. This, one of the sweetest of sll child's stories, make a more interesting play than might be supposed, and could be made still more interesting.

Necessarily subordinate to the character of the child who dominate the play, a Hamlet doe tbe play of "Hamlet," there is next to no dramatic exposition; limply straight story-telling. Manifestly the strongest part of the story for dramatic purpose i the action of the character of the child on that of hia grandfather, tbe Karl. That Is pare drama the action and reaction of character. Not so much has been made of this as could be. The interview with tbe tenant where tlie little Lord works Wonders in hi behalf with the morose disposition of the old Karl, is in point.

More of tbe same kind of incident would better the play. Whv the mass-meeting of the tenantry and tbe speech-making are not introduced ia not easily understood, looking at it from the dramatist's standpoint, for they are incidents which, except the appearance of the adventuress and false claimant, illustrate the one dra matic feature or the atory. As it is It is a pretty atory for one hearing. That qualification belongs to the very best of this kind of plays, tor a child at best does hardly more than illustrate, rarely personates; and, if it does, like Oratiano's talk, when you bave it, it i rarely worth the trouble of getting it. Little Tommy Russell comes nearer personation t-n is often seen.

At times he attains it eiVely, but if he did so altogether the sum total would be little different. The yearning interest of the Spectator supplies the deficiencies, and perhaps, indeed, rejoices in them. The parrot-like perfection, the super self-possession, the artificiality of attitude aa sweetly confessed as when one poses for a photograph, are all part of the charm ot child-acting. And this child is such a handsome little fellow, so artistically dressed, displayed in scenes so much to bis that one could fancy an echo of baby talk all over the house in the applause tbatroarkea the progress. The company is an exceedingly capable one.

Did ita member have character in a "play for tbe purpose of a play, their work were worthy specification; bat as it is all fortbe purpose nf dandling the child, feeding it sweets and ahowing it pictures, so to speak, there need be only general praise for the excellence of every actor. In this connection, it is wort a passing regret that Miss Lowell, who acts Mrs. trroll, should not know how to make up for the stage better. That rare thing on a stage properly made-np. eyes is not found in ber ease, while her costume in the last act enhances every defect and weakens every good point.

One thing the whole company does, of which it is unconscious, and which is vastly amusing. They are all, not excepting even Mr. Aiken, at times, aa the Earl, Little Lord Fauntleroy. This child' character is so much of tbe play, and these excellent actors, true to their hie-h calling, are so bent on bringing out the play' strength that they bave unconsciously partaken of the child' artificialities, and pretty stiltednes, and they act as adults in real life do when tbey "pretend like" to hdmor children in a play. In other words, these actor have become absorbed in tbe playing instead of the play.

Once catch tbi point and you will see here one of the funniest comedies of the time this play within a play, where seasoned veterans have been run away with by a child's artificialities and pay tribute to hi sweetness, a do the spectator. There wa a fine andieace present last night. The stare setting was rich and appropriate. The play will run tbe rest of tbe week. The incandescent lights were tried for the first time at this theater last night.

They are in a double sense a brilliant success. There is hardly a theater, if indeed, one In New York, that is so brilliantly lighted a the Grand Opera House now, th incandescent light In a Xew York theater not being numerous enough to make so bright a light. While bright, the light ia vet soft the perfection of lighting. It might be added for suggestion that thev lights in the auditorium should be turned off entirely while the play ia going on. -It is a rest for the eye, and only in that way can tbe stage light be properly governed.

It i also to be suggested that the border lights of the stage are not strong enough. The stage ia not a light a it should be.
