BIG LEAGUE STRIKE
THE PLAYERS THREATEN THE
@3@ MAGNATES WITH A HUGE .a
z DISRUPTION.

CHICAGO, April IA special to the
Tribune from Hot Springs says: There
is immediate danger of a huge disrup-
ton in the National league. The play
ers are up in arms against the mag
mates and are openly talking Of a
strike. The trouble has arisen over
the new contracts that every player in
the league signed this spring. The
change in the contract is small, but
It makes the pay of the players COM
mence April 10 instead Of on April |,
and ends Oct. Is instead Of Oct. /.
The players claim that the contract
Is framed to rob them, and that when
they signed they did not understand
the full purport of it. They base these
assertions on the ground that in max
ing the pay commence April is the
young players are tried and work for
nothing, where, under the old order,
they would have received fifteen days
pay. The men further claim that, IL
adding to the contract fifteen days in
October, the magnates are perpetrating
robbery IN depriving them of a chance
to profit by a natural division Of the
spoils of transforming trip.
The players of the Chicago team have
been for some days discussing the
matter in groups and making threats
OF open rebellion. They have been for
three weeks almost penniless and no
prospect Of money until May 1. An
son says that he. cannot see where
the difference is, as the men get the
same money for playing the same
length of time, but has nothing to say
OF the fall transforming. The men
commend Pitcher KiHen's action in.
refusing to go South for practice un
less he received pay, and say that had
they been together and understood
the situation they would have done the
same thing. a. J

member Of the G.. A. R. in the United
States, he is celebrating at his home
ION his farm, two miles west of this
place, surrounded by his friends and
the members of the local G.. A. r. and
NV. r. c., the Tooth anniversary of his
birth.
At the age of fifteen Harding came to
Canada and participated in the War Of
1872, and he yet remembers many Incl
dents of the war. He remained in Can
ada for fifteen years and then moved
to Milwaukee, Wis. From there, after
five years residence, he removed east
to Burlington, VT, from which place
he enlisted and fought under Taylor in
the Mexican war, for which services he
is now drawing from the government
$72 per month pension. After the Mex
lean war he lived in Chicago for ten
years, and then moved to Waseca
county, Minnesota. When the civil war
broke out the old man, then at the age
of sixty-five, was aroused, and, with
enthusiasm caused by recollections Of
former service, he determined to enlist,
and, swearing that he was only forty,
be enrolled in the Fifth Minnesota.
The preliminary drilling was, however,
too severe for the old man and he was
detailed for work in the hospital at
Fort Smelling. He returned to this
county and in 1867, at the advanced age
of seventy years, he made his third
matrimonial venture by marrying Mrs.
Reibling. Three children have resulted
from this marriage, the Oldest Of whom
is Everhard, the famous football play
err and now instructor in the University
of Minnesota.
The old man is remarkably hale and
hearty and in possession of all his
senses, excepting a defective hearing.
He takes an interest in current events
and thoroughly appreciates and enjoys
the gathering today in his honor and
the birthday present, in the shape Of
an easy chair, given him by the local
G. A. r. post and w. r. c. He does
work out doors and takes pleasure in
his war "reminiscences, and says he
will attend the National G. A. r. en-
campment to be held in Buffalo, N. Y,
in the coming September.

COPPER NEGLECTED.
An Amendment Putting 1T on the
Free List Overlooked.

WASHINGTON, April Through some
oversight during consideration Of the Ding
ley tariff BILL the house neglected to adopt
an amendment to put copper on the free
list, which had been prepared by the ways
and means committee and consequently thAre
is no provision for copper in the BILL. Not
having any special mention, copper falls into
the basket clause at 25 per cent ad volorem.
In the original draft Of the bill the McKiD-
ley rate OF one cent per pound on copper was
retained. The subject was brought to the at
tention of the committee a second time and as
1t appeared that no copper is imported into
the United States and some expected the
committee saw no reason why 1t should not
be included In the free list. The clause
providing for 1t in the metal schedule was
stricken out by the house but the amendment
putting it in the free list was offered.
