CLEVELAND, O., April 30.-The Ma

American Revolution has brought to
Cleveland many distinguished men.
and when the convention opened this
morning men prominent in various
walks of life were present. The ad-
dress Of welcome was delivered by j.
M. Richardson, of the Ohio society,
and was responded to by Vice Presi-
dent General Edwin S. Barrett, Of the
Massachusetts society. Both address
es were Of an eloquent nature and
received general applause. The secre-
tary general, Franklin Murphy, of New
York, apologized for the absence of the
president Of the society, Gen. Horace

The next Brewer to go against the
pitcher was one Wright, who was very
shortly nicknamed 1.-THE Wrong Mr..
Wright" in view Of his unsuccessful
efforts to pound base hit through a
sod diamond instead Of a stratum of
warm air. Nicol. the midget center
fielder, was next on the list, but Tim
O'Rourke reduced his market value to
four cents and a half, and the score
was nothing to nothing.
Glasscock tried hard to detach the
cover from the ball by inserting the
nose Of his bat In one of the seams, but
after the returns had all been counted,
it was discovered that Mr.. Glasscock
had ceased to be a base batsman with
out becoming a base runner. Shugart,
disguised as a when London Sleeps"
detective, with a -browed brown
mustache, lifted the ball over the
Cream City inf1eld and was permitted
by the rules to occupy first base. The

among the fowls. -
He then referred the impatient throng
to Mayor Doran, who, he said, vas a
good fellow and would address them.
The mayor however, informed the
spectators that his speech was lot for
them but for the players, and he quiet
ly turned to the latter, who could hear
him, and said: =
Manager Comiskey, the St. Paul Base ball
club, visiting ball men: Sa
It is a matter Of much pride on the part OF
ST. Paul that We are able to welcome gou to
such opportunity for the exhibition Of your
proficiency in the American game.
/ st. Paul is proud Of its club, 1t is proud of
It's ball park, and Is proud of the public spir-
tied citizen who has contributed for your use
the finest grounds in theNWestern league.
You are to us the Representatives of the
game that Is so distinctlvely American that
1t has come to be known as the national
game
Our people have faith in you and believe
IN your ability to lead among your compet-
itors We believe in the manager and believe
if his men will properly support him St. Paul
will remain proud of the Team.
But St. Paul citizens are critical In their
judgment and will not remain enthusiasts in
your behalf unless you strive to merit their
appreciation. This [ have faith to believe YOU
will do, and 1 have faith TO believe I am war
ranted in assuring you of liberal patronage
as long as you act in a manner to merit it.
And now on behalf of this metropolis / am
ready to announce the time has arrived for
me to say, Play ball." -
He then walked to the pitchers box,
broke the seals on the new balls, and
pitched one Of them to Tim O'Rourke
who was at bat. Tim swung viciously
at the elusive sphere and the umpire
said, zone strike,' but it did not make
any considerable difference in Mr..
O'Rourke's ice crop, for he managed
to hit the ball finally, with Barnes
pitching, and it sailed beautifully up
and outside of the foul lines to a
point where Stafford could take~it to
his embraces
The score card said that Preston
would come after O'Rourke, but Pres

Tacks, into the game at this point.

Parrot with his distinction of being
the first to make a hit on the grounds,
and the enthusiasm ran quite riot

gested, however, that .if there were any
reason, 1t was close at hand, and he
turned to the players from abroad. He
believed that the face of the patron

Mr.. Hills attention was called to the
resignation of President Winter, Of the
Northern Pacific, and the latter's state
ment that he had resigned because Mr..
Hill and those interested had secured
control Of the Northern Pacific.
IT do not know why Mr.. Winter re
signed" said Mr.. Hill. my relations
with Mr.. Winter have always been of
the most pleasant character PERSONAL
ly. But not owning any stock in the
Northern Pacific, I cannot see why his
resignation is credited to my influence" :"
Mr.. Hill was asked as to the financial
outlook in Europe with regard to
American investments. He replied
that the uncertainty as to the forth
coming tariff legislation was undoubt-
edly having it's influence in keeping
out foreign investments and money
for the time being. Mr.. Hill advised
either the passage of the Dingley bill
or an amended bill Immediately. He
also favors the appointment of a CON-
mission to consider the reorganization
of the currency system. He believed
that immediate action would have a
very beneficial effect

well, during the reorganization of
the Northern Pacific much money was
needed and some of it was required in
the form of assessments. There were
many of the stockholders who could not
stand further demands and they trans
ferred their holdings to other hands.

Shugart was enabled to come right

Final Touches on the Tariff.
New Measure About Ready for Presentation the
Senate Finance Committee Democrats

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Senators
Allison and Aldrich spent the day in
putting the finishing touches to the
tariff bill They were the only mem
bers of the subcommittee in the city.
The bill has been completed in all es-
sential- particulars, and now only re-
mains to be put in shape for presenta-
ton to the Democrats. The sub-com-
mittee is still, however, receiving sug
gestions from other senators, Messrs
Quay, Penrose, Foraker and Smith be-
ing among those who called today. The
members Of the sub-committe declined
to reveal the changes agreed upon
even to their sena sorial callers. In
deed, senators generally are as ignor-
ant of the amendments agreed upon as
Is the general public, and 1t is safe to
say that the report, when made. will
contain many surprises.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee are still negotiating with the
Democratic members to secure an I'M
derstanding as to the time to be con-
sumed in considering the bill in full
committee, but have not succeeded in
securing any definite agreement. The
Democrats say the length of time TAX
en- in committee will depend entirely
upon the character Of the amendments.
It is understood to be one Of the pur-
poses of the Democratic members OF
the finance committee to offer several
amendments and force a vote on them,

Of Edhem Pasha into Larissa He
looked grave and showed no elation
over his success. He was met by Gen.
Grumbkoff, the German officer who
reorganized the Turkish artillery, at
the bridge entrance to the town, where
they exchanged congratulations The
story of the entrance of the Turkish
troops into Larissa is dramatic When
the cavalry and artillery approached
the town, the artillery opened fire upon
the place, in order to ascertain If the
Greek garrison remained there There
being no reply to the Turkish fire, two
squadrons Of Turkish cavalry ad-
vanced and a. third remained, dis
mounted, firing on the criminals who
had been released from prison when
Larissa became panic stricken. These
criminals had succeeded in arming
themselves and replied to the fire Of
the Turks.
tSefulah Bey and Gen. Grumbkoff led
the first Turkish squadron to Larissa
The cavalry advanced at a gallop and
at the bridge to the entrance of the
town Sefulah Bey spurred forward at
full speed. Some of the Mussulman in
habitants shouted: 1.-THE bridge is
mined" But the two officers did not
pause and were the first to enter the
town and put up at the Olympus, the
principal hotel, which was soon guarded
by the Turkish troops. The crown
princes Konak was luxurious and had
a splendid table service, bedding, furni-
ture, etc. The Turkish soldiers, who are
mostly simple, good-natured rustics,
were astonished at sights in the city.
Two Cfrcassian cavalrymen, finding
store of Greek uniforms, donned two of
them and paraded the streets, only
keeping their Turkish arms.

London, April 30.-It is semi officially
stated that: there is reason to believe
that European intervention between
Turkey and Greece in the present posi-
tion of affairs is regarded as wholly
impracticable, both Greece and Tur-
key having resolved to continue the
war. The powers are thus obliged to
stand aside until one of the combat
