The feature Of the convention was the
unanimlty and enthusiasm with which the
communication from Senators Millard and
Dietrich. explaining their attitude on the
Cuban reciprocity bill. was, on motion,
placed on file without action.
The platform deplores the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and continues:
I'VE heartily indOrse the administration
or PRESIDENT theodore Roosevelt. we eS-
pecially commend the justice and wisdom of
his reciprocity policy with Cuba as en-
bodied In his message TO Congress. We
commend the bold stand that he has taken
against the formation or perpetuation of
unlawful combinations in restraint of trade.
We heartily in sympathy with the
Presidents policy in favor of the national
irrigation law, and we commend our SEN
ators and representatives for their efforts
in securing the passage of the same.
The American soldier needs no apology.
His record is one of loyalty, bravery and
generosity toward treacherous and cruel
foe. In battle, in victory and defeat, he
has been the pride of his countrymen and
challenges the admiration of the world.
To criticise him is unjust. TO denounce him
won is cruel

an order directed TO the local union check
weighmen and miners of northern and CEN

therefore. arc opposed TO a general suspen-
sion OF work. IL Is generally accepted by
the miners that the real object OF the an

IF the life OF the organization is really
1eopardized Il IS believed the miners Will
not hesitate to order a general suspension
of work.
There are two methods OF compromise

SENIORS DEFEAT ALUMNI.
A Game of Bali that Proved ga Com
edy OF Errors"

The baseball game yesterday afternoon
on the Butler Campus between the seniors
and the alumni of the institution resulted
in a victory for the graduating boys by a
score of IA to 10. The game attracted a
large crowd of students, alumni and COM
mencement visitors. Although the exhibit
ton both sides was a comedy of errors
it was all the more amusing TO the spec
tators. The alumni not only utilized all
the old stars available, but drafted several
of the first team. Almost every inning wit
messed change in the pitching staff of the
alumni. Six men in all were used. and
none but Roberts lasted more than one in
ming. McGaughey, who was to have been
in the box for the alumni, was unable to
be present and so caused the weak spot in
the has beens." Higgins did the pitching
for the seniors throughout the nine innings,
and not hit with telling effect after the
fourth inning.
Doc" (John) Nichols, an old star vet
eran of the early '90s, was the most con-
spicuous figure among the alumni. He
played behind the bat, and, although he
had not touched q ball this year, caught a
game that would have done credit to any
college catcher. Edwin Thompson, 90, who
played on the Butler team during '99 and
TO- held down first base for the alumni and
played a good game. Sam McGaughey, 49,
known as the best rooter Butler ever turned
out. managed second base.
DR.. Lon Roberts started the pitching for
the alumni and was invincible for two in
nings, during which time the ''old stars
connected with HugginSs curves and, aided
by errors, scored five runs. In the third
inning the seniors rallied and did a bat
ting jig that Melted eight runs The alumni
tied the score by adding three scores Both
teams batted two men across the plate in
the fourth. However, the alumni were
shut out during the remaining five innings
of the game. McGaughey took Roberts's
place in the box in the fourth, but lasted
only long enough to put out three men,.
Doc" Nichols then tried his wing, but
could stand 1T no longer than McGaughey
Kelly, Murray and Anthony finished the
slab work. Prof. Omar Wilson, who played
center field for the alumni, distinguished
himself with the stick by knocking a two
Dagger and two clean hits. Anthony and
Murray both play on the first team. The
seniors are strong in athletes. Two of the
number played on the football team, four
on the basketball team. and three on the
baseball team. This is their second victory
having defeated the faculty a week ago,
is TO S. The Rev. Archibald Hail. of Spring
field, ILL.,, an old football veteran who
played with Butler when she won the state
championship, was in the game for several
innings. The stiff and awkward antics of
the 'old timers created a great deal of
amusement for the side lines The two
teams lined as follows:

Viewed as a Blur.

SCRANTON. Pa, June 1S.-The fact that
the joint miners convention called to-day
by President Mitchell is set for q month
hence is interpreted by the operators here
TO be an effort TO bluff them and buoy up
the strikers \ representative of one of
the companies said this afternoon: The
mine workers leaders made this call with
no expectation that the soft coal men Will
Join In their strike. but solely for the pur-
pose of giving the strikers something 10
look forward to. But come what may, the
position of the operators cannot be changed
II would be suicidal for the operators TO
make even the semblance OF concession.
District President Nichols left to-day for
Philadelphia to confer with the national
officers of the Carpenters Brotherhood
with view of having the mine carpenters
urged to obey the strike order.
