JIM DURYEA'S FINGER.
The Cyclone Pitcher Has Come to
st. Paul to Nurse His Injured
Hand

The Cyclone Pitcher Has Come to
ST. Paul to Nurse His Injured
Hand.
Cyclone JIM Duryea, the st. Paul
pitcher with a smashed finger, arrived
in st. Paul yesterday morning from In
dianapolis. He said to a GLOBE man
that his injury would probably lay him
up for four or six weeks. He was at the
bat at the time of the accident, and the
ball struck the fOrefnger of his right
hand, which, he says, is the worst one
that could have been picked. No bone
was broken, but the flesh was crushed
so badly that it had to be removed to the
bone. 1t is giving him a good deal of
pain now, and since the accident he has
been unable to sleep Oh that account.
81 am stuck on the team that repre-
sentS st. Paul this season" he said.
1.-The boys are. of course, out of prac-
tice and could not hold their own
against the heavy clubs they are meet
ing. The material in the club is better
than last year. The men can run bases
with any team in the country" Duryea
said that John Sowders, Smiling
Billy'S" brother, was apparently made
of the same material as his big brother.
He's little, sawed-otf looking fellow,
but quick las lightning and built from
the ground up, what there is of him."
said jim. The latter will stay in st.
Paul for some days where his finger
can get the best of treatment, and then
go to his home in Iowa until he is in
shape for work.

know he prefers the third bag. but
it appears that ''Old Man. Sutton is to
fill that position regularly. The regular
outfield will be Hornung, Johnson and
Brown. This leaves three men to be
taken care of outside of those mentioned.
These are Tate, O'Rourke and n. Wise:
The last named is a young New England
player, signed only yesterday. He will
be used as a general utility man, while
the other two, with the Only Kelly,
will do the catching. Daily has been,
OF will be, given an unconditional re-
lease. He will make a good backstop
for some club.
The signing of Clarkson created more
talk than anything which has occurred
since Kelly's release was purchased
from Spalding. Every crank is now
positive that Boston's new $4,000 grand
stand will fly the pennant of the Ma
ti0nal league during the season of 1889.

INVALID PENSIONS.
A Substitute for the Senate De-
nendent Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The house
committee On invalid pensions,b party
vote, to-day agreed upon substitute
for the dependent pension bill recently
passed by the senate. Section 2 OF the
senate bill, granting a pension OF Sl2
per month to all persons who served
three months or more in the army or
navy in the late war, and who are now
suffering disability therefrom, was
struck out entirely and the following
section inserted: 'sThat all persons
who have served in the military or naval
service in any war in which the United
States has been engaged, and who have
been honOrably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or who may hereafter
be suffering from mental or physical
disability, not the result of their own
vicious habits, which totally incapacl-
tates them from the performance OF
manual labor, shall, upon making due
proof of these facts, be placed upon the
list Of invalid pensioners and be enti-
tied to receive pension at the
rate per month of one cent for
each days service. All persons who
have served and been honOrably dis
two years of age. shall also be entitled
to be placed on the list of invalid PEN
sioners and receive a pension during
their natural lives at the rate aforesaid;
and all persons who have served and
been discharged as before provided,
and who are not yet siXty-two years OF
age, shall, upon attaining the age of
siXty-two years, be placed on the list OF
invalid pensioners Section 3 of the
senate bill, relating to the pensiOning
of a minor child, widow or children
under eighteen years of age, or mother
or father, upon the death of an invalid
pensiOner, was amended by providing
that the widow of any person who has
served in any war of the United States,
who has been honOrabIy discharged
therefrom and is now in condition of
dependence, or is suffering from any
disability recognized by the general
pension laws, or is siXty-two years of
age, shall be placed upon the list of
pensioners of the United States and re-
ceive pension at the rate per month of
cent for each days service of her hus-
band. The committee reduced the
amount of fees allowed to agents to S.,
instead of $40, as allowed by the senate

The Deadlock Continues.

WASHINGTON, April "a demand

Maine, opened the sixth days contest
over the direct tax bill when the house
met this morning at 11:45 in continual
ton of the session of Wednesday last.
At 1915 p. NJ. while the dilatory notices
were piled up one upon another in great
variety, E. B. Taylor asked unanimous
consent in the interest of good nature
and good health that the house take a
recess until As tomorrow. The
speaker pro TEN. put the request, and
after short pause declared it granted,
bringing down his gavel just as Mr..
Breckenridge, of Arkansas. sprang to
his feet with an objection, which came
one second too late. The recess was
therefore taken.

MINERAL LANDS.
Senator Faulkner Oppose the
Bill to Authorize Sales to

WASHINGTON, April 9.-In the senate
to-day the bill to authorize the sale to
aliens of certain mineral lands was
taken up for consideration, and Mr..
Faulkner, member of the committee
on mines and mining, from which the
bill had been reported, spoke in OppOsi-
ton to it. He regarded it, he said, as
bill fraught with danger to the coun-
try. The act of 1887, which this bill
proposed to modify, was the first act
passed which affected the holding of
real estate by aliens, and that act was
correct in principle. He knew of no
country that permitted aliens or foreign
corporations to purchase and hold real
estate. The bill would not only allow
individuals to obtain mineral rights in
this country, but it would allow, and
that was its purpose, corporations
formed in England, France or Germany
to purchase any number OF patents
was opposed. The mineral in
dustries of the country were
being sufficiently developed now, and
not to any appreciable extent by the aid
of foreign capital. The census of 1880
shows the existence of LIZ deep mines
in the Western territories and states,
and of these only seventeen were owned
by foreigners, seven of them in Utah.
He moved an amendment providing
that, where mining claims which have
been patented are acquired by partner
ship, majority of the partners and Of
the trustees or directors shall be citizens
of the United States. He was opposed
to the bill, however, even with that
amendment attached to it. Mr.. EvartS
favored the bill and Mr.. Call opposedit
Mr.. Dolph said the law of 1887 had been
aimed against the evil of allowing for
eigners to own large tracts of agricult-
ural lands. The bill simply restored
the condition of affairs in the mining
districts of the territories that existed
before the act of 1887. The discussion
having closed, the question was taken
on the amendment offered by Mr..
Faulkner. and the vote was announced
yeas, 20; nays, II. No quorum hay
ing voted, the roll was called and forty
six senators answered to their names.
Without any further vote on the bill or
amendment the bill was laid aside.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April "a
steady rain prevented to-day's game
between the home club and st.
Paul. A game is announced between
the teams for tomorrow. Veach and
Vogel will pitch half a game each, with
Earl to support them.
Joe Quest, the veteran second base
man, was to-day released from the st.
Paul club by Manager Barnes. The
only reason for Quests release, the
manager states, was because the club
was carrying too many men and it was
necessary to let some one go. Shafer
and the other youngsters have been
showing up in such good style that
Quest was considered the least desirable
man to keep. 81 cannot say word
against his playing" Manager Barnes
says, "but we cannot afford to carry SO
large number of men," Quest feels
very sore over his release, though he is
ahead the amount of advance money
which he received from the club. 1t is
stated that he will now go to the Pacific
slope and manage team there. Shafer
will play second base regularly and
captain the team. Manager Barnes is
undecided whether to play Reilly at
third, with Pickett at short, or to keep
Corbett at short and play Pickett in left
field.
The funeral of the Sowders boys
father occurred to-day and six members
of the st. Paul club acted as pall-bear-
ers, while the entire team attended.
The club also made a beautiful floral
Offering. Manager Barnes said to a
GLOBE reporter tonight: "We have
suffered very severely thus far on our
trip from partial umpires. Both at
Cincinnati and Louisville we had to take
members of the home club as umpire
and suffered accordingly. There would
have been no eleven-inningS in the first
game at Cincinnati if Serad had been
fair. We ought to have had the game.
At Louisville yesterday we were badly
robbed of the game. Gatfney, the best
umpire in the profession, was on the
ground and | wanted to have him
umpire. but the LouisvilleS wouldn't
have it, They said: I'VE have got the
Detroits here tomorrow and it would
never do to lose this game | had a
mind to call my men off the ground at
one time, in the game, so outrageous
was the umpire" Manager Barnes said
the team has exceeded his expectation
i'll their practice work.
