where the players were wont to knock
foul balls over the fence and fair balls
among the fowls.
He then referred the impatient throng
to Mayor Doran, wto,, he said, was a
good fellow and would address them.
The mayor. however, informed the
spectators that his speech was ret 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: ~
It is 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, it Is proud of
its ball park, and is proud Of the public-spir-
tied citizen who has contributed for your use
the finest grounds in the Western league.
You are to us the representatives of the
game that is so distinctiyely American that
it has come to be known as the national
game. -
Our people have faith in you and believe
in your ability to lead among your compel
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 I have faith to believe am war
ranted in assuring you of q 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.

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
toms disability threw Parrot, alias
Tacks, into the game at this point
This PARROT is more than a mimic, for
instead of following the example of the
illustrious Timothy, this young man
swung heavy hickory in his long arms,
and when the ball next reached the
ground it was at the far end of as
clean base hit as was ever seem
The crowd did not omit to accredit Mr.
Parrot with his distinction of being
the first to make a hit on the grounds
and the enthusiasm ran quite riot
when Nyce, who was not a prime
local favorite as Manning Blue, pound
ed a hard fly into the outfield as a
Ccmiskey White. Wright and Nicol
were both after7t the ball, but when they
got it, it was cold from long contact
with the wind famed soil. By this
time PARROT had reached third. Nyce
was, however. caught trying to steal
second, and PARROT was left at third
when George failed to get the ball
through the Brewers infeld.

Final Touches on the Tariff.
New Measure About Ready for Its Presentation to the
Finance Committee

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 senatorial callers. In
deed, senators generally are as ignor-
ant of the amendments agreed upon as
is the general public, and it 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 IF the Democratic members Of
the fiji ance committee to offer several
amendments and force vote on them,
so as to put the Republicans on rec
ord, and they count upon having the
cooperation of Senator Jones, Of Ne
vada, on some of their propositions.
Senator Jones position appears to be
that he Will demand certain conces-
sions, most of them affecting Western
interests, and that IL he does not. secure
them from the Republicans he will join

Mr.. Hill and Northern Pacific.
Northern President Talks About Recent Reports
Does Not Know Why Winter Resigned.

James ]. Hill arrived home from his
European trip yesterday morning, and
as might be expected, was Swallowed
from morning until night by reporters
who wanted to know the details Of his
purchase Of the Northern Pacific. To
all Mr.. Hill had this reply:
IT have not purchased a dollar's
worth of stock in the Northern Pa
cific, nor do expect to-"
That was the sum total of the Great
Northern presidents remarks upon that
head. He did say, by way of emphasis,
that he had made the same statement
so many times during the past few
months that he was becoming very
weary Of 1T.
II adhere to the statements made
time and time again." repeated Mr..
Hill. 1T do not care to say anything,
which, in the light Of future develop
ments, might seem ridiculous"
what foundation have these state
ments that you control the Northern
Pacific?"
"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
sfe1red their holdings to other hands.
Who these parties are do not know,
for I have never had access to the
stock lists. I presume the talk has
originated from these transfers. When
the reorganization took place, the fixed
charges were reduced $4,000 which
represent a principal of 500, 900, 600. The

efforts to pound a base hit through q
sod diamond instead of g. 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 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,
1t was discovered that Mr.. Glasscock
had ceased to be a base batsman with
out becoming base runner. Shugart,

Details of the Occupation of the
Greek Position.
ATHENS, April 3O.-Yesterday morn
Ing Thursday witnessed the entrance
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, twa
squadrons Of Turkish cavalry adj
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.
Sefulah Bey and Gen. Grumbkoff led
the first Turkish squadron to Larissa.
The cavalry advanced at 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 CHrcassian cavalrymen, finding
store Of Greek uniforms, donned two Of
them and paraded the streets, only
keeping their Turkish arms.
