BIDDING FOR THE REMNANT.
Brooklyn Beats the QuaLcrs in
Championship style.

NEW YORK, April BIN all but the
weather the opening of the baseball
championship season in Brooklyn today
was suspicious. The attendance. as given
out by the club officials, was 1860. 1t was
with satisfaction that the crowd saw the
Brooklyns win and simultaneously play
in form that presages ability to hold
their own with their league rivals as ca
pably as in the two seasons just preced
ing. From the time McCreery brought
storm of applause on himself with a
smoking drive for a home run in the sec
ond inning to the time the last ball had
been thrown across the diamond, the
Champions held the whip hand. 1t was a
one-sided game. The score:

The Boston TwirIer Gives the Giants

BOSTON, April ia holiday crowd of
$500 persons shivered through nine innings
of good baseball at the South End grounds
this afternoon, it being the opening game
in the National League series for both
the New York and the Boston clubs Cap
tain Davis men were not equal to the
task of defeating Selee's team. although
they made every effort to send a run

EXUDES NEEDLES FROM HER PORES
French Servant Girl Who Puzzles Doctors and
Upsets All Theories of the Med
ical Profession.

Paris, April 16.-A dispatch from
ST. German, near this city, describes
the extraordinary case of Julienne
Landreux, a servant girl from whose
body dozens of needles were being ex-
tracted.
The girl complained of consider
able irritation of the skin, and last
Thursday went to a local druggist
who found a number of needles emerg-
ing from various parts OF her body.
He extracted them with pincers. The
girl has returned several times a day
since, and up to this morning the
druggist has drawn out 100 needles
from her arms, hands, feet, breast,
the lobe of her ear, her eyelids and
the corner of her right eye. The girl
experiences no pain until she feels
tn needle piercing the epidermis. The
needles Away emerge thick and fast
and unless extracted Immediately they
disappear again.

and the Temps, have investigated the

Denver, April 16.-The business To

to be held in Chicago during the first
week in December, will be of I'M
usual Importance, according to a bull
letin issued today by Fey F. Martin.
He says live stock men and others in

the ~4ry interests have declared their

In addition to this the association

state inspections; inspection of all

matter and vouch for the authenticity
of the story.
Mile. Landreux says that five years
ago, when she was II years old, she
amused herself with school children
by swallowing needles. She swallowed
40 in one day and never felt any in
convenience until recently and has
enjoyed the best of health. While re-
lating the foregoing the representa-
tive of the Associated Press who saw
her at the druggists, she exclaimed:
II feel one in my eye now" The
druggist then upturned her right eye
lid and with a magnet drew out four
fragments of needles.
A surgeon of the hospital Of La
Salpetriere saiu in an interview that
the case was quite unprecedented.
Needles inserted under the skin have
been borne through, the muscles, but
there was no record Of a needle in

ADMITTED BY HILL
Chief Promoter Announces Success
of Long Pending Burling-
ton Deal.

Chicago, April 16.-The Tribune to-
morrow viii say: James j. Hill, before
leaving st. Paul for the west, an
nounced the success of the long-pend,
ing deal for control of the Burlington
railway. He said he had concluded
negotiations for the purchase of the
Burlington system, and added:
''There are no changes in our rela-
lions with re St. PaulChicago lines.
We merely wanted the Burlington for
a st. Louis and Kansas City feeder"
Hill denies the report that the Bur-
lington deal meant the establishment
of a trans-continental system, with the
Erie as an eastern outlet. He said the
Erie would not be a part of a trans
continental line, and that there would
be no trans-continental line and that
the Erie would be free from alliances.

WOODRUFF DEFENDED
Fellow Officer Declares Him Guilt
less of Completely In -
Frauds.

Manila, April ia civilian named
Fletcher, accused of unlawful CONVEX
sion of commissary stores, will be
tried by the provost court tomorrow.
Speaking of the commissary scan
dals, a prominent army officer said
to the representative of the Associat-
ed Press that he had every reason to
believe that Colonel Woodruff, head
Of the subsistence department at Man
lila, was not implicated. He said that
Colonel Woodruff was one of the ablest
men in the service and that his hon
esty was unquestioned.
He asserted that Coloneu Woodruff
had been ignorant of the fact that
Harold NJ. Pitt, manager OF Evans &
Co., the army contractors, was leas-
ing him the house in which he lived
for much less rental than Pitt had
paid therefor. Upon discovering this
Colonel Woodruff had Immediately va
Gated the house.
Pitt is alleged to have said that
Captain Raed, of the commissary de-
partment deceived Colonel Woodruff,
who thought Captain Read to be thor
oughly honest. The irregularities in
commissary matters were first at
tributed to Captain Reads unfamiliar
ity with the work. Colonel Woodruff
was reluctant to believe that frauds
yer being pe%rpetrated, but the facts
disclosed caused him to give Captain
Read a most severe reprimand and to
begin an investigation, which may in
volve, according to the prominent
army officer previously referred to,
the examination of Captain Davis,
who was deputy commissary before
Captain Read, but who was sent home
on sick leave.

HILL JOINS
IN PETITION
ASKS PRESIDENT TO PARDON
M'KENZIE.
ARE OLD Time FRIENDS
Quay and Dan Lamont Also
Add Their Prayers For
+, Clemency.
ARE OLD Time FRIENDS

Washington, April 16.-If Alexander
Mckenzie is not pardoned it will not
be because pressure in his behalf has
not been strong.
1t leaked out today that James j..
Hill and also Lamont made a special
trip from New York recently and saw
the president in McKenzie's behalf. At
the time of the visit nothing was made
public and all that the newspapers
coulu get hold of was the statement
that the two men had come over from
New York to e the president on
some personal matter" They arrived
at noon, mad a short lunch in the
Arlington, and then went straight to
the white house, where they stayed
until 2:30, taking the 8 O'Clock train
back to New York. The interview with
the president had been arranged in
advance, for the visitors were admit
ted to his presence as soon as they
showed themselves. Mckenzie was for
years very close to Hill in the north
west, and Hill was very willing to in
tercede for him az soon as the mat
ter was laid before him. 1t, was Hill
who secured the aid of Lamont. The
affair was engineered by Senator
Hansbrough.
1t is said that within the past few
days strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon Attorney General Knox
in McKenzie's behalf. Senator Quay
is at the nead Of the movement, and
he is understood to have made a per-
sonal appear to Knox. who, as a Penn
%sylvanian, is supposed to Ne a part of
the Quay machine.
AS Don as the president. can hear
from the judges OF the court of ap-
peals in San Francisco, who have
peen asked to give him their views
regarding the case, it is generally
understood here that he will announce
the pardon. That he will refuse to
act favorably, McKenzie's friends will
not believe. 1t is the desire Of Nc
Kenzie's friends that the president act
before starting on the western trip,
two weeks from today. This would
permit Mckenzie to come east and
clear Zip his business affairs in time
to take the hrst boat for Nome. He
has immense property interests there,
aside from the contested claims, and
1t is openly charged here that the
San Francisco judges knew this when
they imposed the long sentence whose
effect. of course, was to keep McKen-
zie away from Nome during the whole
Of the oncoming mining season.
Dispatches from San Francisco
state that McKenzie's health is very
precarious, which causes his friends
much alarm,

Nothing official al known regarding
the appointment of the delegation

ter was first under consideration, Cen
eral Wood was cabled that the presi-
dent was to leave Washington about
April rs, to be absent about six weeks
and that any arrangements for the
visit of the delegation would have to
be made with this fact in view. 1t is
now thought probable that the Cuban
delegation will see the president be-
fore he leaves for the west.

STILL TRYING RIPLEY.
Hearing Of Testimony May Possibly
Close Today.

Frankfort. Ky, April 16.-When
court convened today it was thought
probable that the evidence in the Rip
ley case might be concluded late this
afternoon. The developments on
cross-examination of the defendant,
however, regarding an alleged CONVEX
sation between him and the former
assistant secretary of state, J.. B.
Matthews, indicates that the prosecu-
ton has some important rebuttal testi-
mony and it may JAKE all of tomor-
row to get to the argument.
The line Of Interrogation pursued
by the prosecution as to the CONVEX
sation with Matthews indicates that
the latter is nearly as important a wit
ness against Ripley as Ex-Governor
Bradley and Judge Yost we're.
