Instructions to UmpIres.

The instructions To umpires pre-
pared by President Sexton, of the
! ThrCe-I league. are as follows:
Gentlemen: In selecting staff of
umpires for the coming season
have endeavored To find men of So
briefly, exemplary habits and good
judgment. and after a careful inves-
tigation of numerous applicants. you
have been selected as a member OF
the staff.
In entering upon your duties | de
sire to have you understand that. so
long as you display a disposition TO
carry out my instructions. To prop
erly enforce the playing rules. and
the ability to make a successful UNI
pire the ordinary kicks or com
plants, from captains or players.
will receive little consideration at
my hands. but man proven TO be
Incompetent or unreliable. must not
expect TO retain position on this
staff
Umpiring, in my judgment. is the
most important. as well as the most
arduous position ON the diamond to
fulfill. and good or bad umpiring
will do more TO please or disgust the
patrons of the game than amy other
one element.
The playing rules give you most UNI
limited and arbitrary powers. and
the careful and conservative use of
same. or the neglect on your part to
take advantage of the powers be-
slowed. will do much to strengthen
you or to destroy your influence to
control the situation.
Always remember that you are alb
solute master of the field during the
progress of a game, and have the
power TO order any manager, captain
or player to do, or to omit to do,
any act that you may deem neces-
sary to give force and effect to the
rules of the game. You are instruct
ed to enforce the rules as you find
them, without regard to your own
opinion of any particular rule.
Under no circumstances must you
allow any captain or player to dis
pute a decision involving an error of
judgment, and the captain only shall
be allowed TO dispute a decision in
volving Il legal construction of the
rules.
Strictly enforce the rule requiring

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 20, 1902

THE PEOPLE OF the north have al
WAYS denied that during the civil war
their armies we're cruel or that their
officers and men exercised undue harsh
ness toward the people of the South,
but the truth is coming out even at this
late day aud is being proven not Unly
by officers of the army but by OH
cial documents on file 10 the War De-
partment. Col. Woodruff, who is now
defending Gen. Smith ct Manila,
charged with issuing orders to make
SamAr q bowling wilderness and to
kill all persons capable OF bearing arms
the age limit being fixed at ten years.
boldly admits the charges, and pleads
justification as the basis OF his defense,
taking the ground that Gen. Smiths
action was justified by Military Order
100 and by historical presidents, in
GLIDING Shsridsh'S Shenandoah valley
campaign and Shermsn's march to the
see. General order 100 was Issued TO
the army as instructions for the govern
ment OF armies 10 the field on April "a,
1868. The order was prepared by DR..
Francis Lieber and revised by a board
OF officers OF which Msj. Gen. E. A.
Hitchcock was president. Sheridan

The Beef Trust.

Chicago, April 28.-DovetailiDg the
evidence already collected and scsn-

United States Attorney Bethea aud
Judge w. A. Day, the representative
Of the Department of Justice, continued
today the work Of preparation for
making warfare Oh the beef trust.
There are no new indications that the
bill OF injunction will be filed this
week and the probabilities seem re-
mote for such action. More real evil
dence pointing to the actual existence
Of 0 combination is said TO be wanted
by both government officials. Such
evidence as has been gathered In the
east strengthens the case against the
packers more than that at hand In
Chicago, the seat OF the war.
Contrary to expectation, no i'm
mediate relief is ID be asked for by the
district attorney. 1t will doubtless be
ten weeks or logger before the courts
act unless the present programme is
changed. Judge Day and District At
