PENSION LEGISLATION.
Question Considered by the Repub.
lican House Leaders,

MUSE AeaucfSs
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The pension
legislation to be taken up by this congress-
was the subject of a conference by Repub+
l1can leaders today. Mr.. Pickler's general
pension bill, reported to the house by the
committee, was discussed minutely 1t was
decided that it would be good policy to take
up the pension question and the bill will be
brought forward in the house and ample time
given for debate on it within a few days.
Under this bill discontinuances or reduc-
tions of pensions will be unlawful except for
fraud or clerical error. Commissioner
Raum's interpretations of the act of 1890,
which have been largely reversed by the
present administration, would be restored,
and pensioners dropped from the rolls by
these reversals would be restored on appli-
cation. Mr.. Picker estimates that with the
bill in operation the pension budget would be
increased from two to three millions year.

TRYING THEM OUT.

Drafted Pitchers Are Put Right Into
the Game.
1t looks as though the Western league
drafts were going to be made to show their
blood in the big league this spring, and that,
too, right at the wire. Louisville put
"Chick" Fraser into the box yesterday, and
made him pitch the game out, He made a
good showing, too. holding Chicago down to
eight hits and score of four.
Fisher. the Indianapolis phenom, was
knocked out Of the box by Pittsburg and his
place was taken by another ex-Western
Lacquer, Rhines. But the Reds were unable
to get more than one run, just saving a
whitewash, so it was lost game anyway.

Salaries of Agents.

There will be meeting of the Western
lines in Chicago next Thursday, to consider
commissions paid to agents Of roads running
personally conducted excursions to transcon-
tinental territory. Some Of the roads run
ming these exclusions claim they have the
right of paying the agents accompanying
them salaries or commissions, or both, as
best suits themselves On the other hand it
is claimed that the agents accompanying such
excursions should receive no higher COM
missions than those prescribed in the ordi-
nary schedules.

substitute for Party Rates.

It is extremely probable that the general
passenger agents Of the Western lines mean
to do away with the party rate tickets after
May 1. There is sure to be some sort Of
substitute adopted, but what 1t will be has
not yet been decided upon.
The chances are that the Western lines will
be obliged to make use of the party rate to
some slight extent at certain points where
they come in competition with the lines
Of the Central Traffic association, which still
use the party rate tickets.

people passed through the stiles at Sports

game of the National league season, between
the Spiders and the st. Louis Browns. This
was the largest crowd that ever attended an
opening game here. The day was perfect
and the enthusiasm of the big crowd Of
'fans" uproarious. They went wild over the
playing Of the home team, which put UP
a snappy game from the beginning. The
Browns fielding was perfect, while that Of
the visitors was not up to the standard set
by last years games won by the Spiders.
They made two costly errors. Breitenstein
was in good form and pitched a wonderful
game. Young was hit somewhat more freely.
Monte Gross, at short, made several wonder

you take most all of these young people riding
