Sluggers went down to South Omaha to-
day to play the lads who are advertising
the stock yards. Reuben, who started to
pitch for the Sluggers had an off day and
1t was owing to his wildness that the
Stock Yards Kids made all their runs.
After this fatal inning their attempts to
solve Lynch's curves were futile. The
Sluggers tried hard to overcome the big
lead of their opponents and for eight in
nings played a hard uphill game. In the
ninth they came in with the score 9 to 8
In favor of the Kids. Casey was the first
man up and sent one down to Adams,
twirler for the Kids, who. in his effort
to field the ball. threw wildly to first. Here
is where the trouble all began. The umpire
called the runner out, claiming he had
turned the wrong way. Mr.. Browne, cap
tain of the S~luggers, a ball player and n
gentleman, protested, and when the umpire
refused to change his decision Captain
Browne called his men off the field.
In order that We may let the fans know
what sort of stuff the Sluggers are made
of, and to show that there are no hard
feelings. we again challenge the Stock
Yards Kids for another game, to be played
for $25 a side, or more, the money to be put
up before the game is called.

DULL WEEK IN CONGRESS
CUT AND DRIED PROGRAMME
SCHEDULED FOR BOTH HOUSES.
Routine Matters viii Occupy the At
Reach the Philippines Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The early part
of the coming week in the House of Rep
resentatives will be devoted to routine bus
mess, with a prospect that some important
general legislation may be taken up during
the latter part of the week. Tomorrow will
be devoted to District of Columbia bust
ness, Tuesday to war claims and Wednes-
day to the oleomargarine bill, which was
amended by the Senate During the re-
naming days of the week it is practically
settled that the anti-Anarchist bill of
Chairman Ray. of the judiciary committee,
will be considered. The measure is much
more stringent than the Anarchist bill
passed by the Senate.
Plans are also on foot for considering the
omnibus public building bill during the lat
ter days of the week. This measure has
not yet been reported from the House COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds, but
it probably will be completed early next
week, so that it can be taken UP later in
the week. Beyond this no exact programme
has been arranged. Two appropriation bills,
the agricultural and naval bills, are about
ready, and may be brought in at any time.
and the Military Academy appropriation
bill is on the calendar.

in a thoroughly healthy condition until we

THE American publishers have one great

retail trade has fallen into the hands of the

where you can buy everything. from a

Of fiction 10 the public shelves. There are

How many young minds have there been

CRUELTY TO IMMIGRANTS
CHARGES REGARDING IT ARE TO BE
PROBED AT NEW YORK.
Commissioner of immigration Says
Treatment of Hotel 'sharks. Is
the Cause of the Allegations.

NEW YORK, April O.-Commissioner OF
Emigration Fitchie received orders from
Washington to-day to investigate published
stories that immigrants who land in this
city at the Battery are brutality treated by
the special police on duty there.
A Brooklyn resident sent a batch of these
stories to President Roosevelt, and accom-
panied it with a statement that one of the
instances he knew, from personal observa-
ton. to be true. The President. after look
ing over the papers, sent them to Secretary
Shaw, who, in turn, forwarded them TO Mr..
Fitchie with orders to apply the probe.
The instance mentioned was that the spe-
cial police carried rawhide whips with
which they beat the immigrants, driving
the foreigners before them like SO many
cattle.
Commissioner Fitchie is already out in a
denial of the charges. He and his police
declare that it is not the immigrants who
are dashed with whips. 1t is, they say, the
horde of hotel runners, idlers, sharks and
other men who ave no legitimate business
at the Battery and who menace the immi-
grants as they land. The officers declare
that the only way to get rid of these pests,
as they term them, is to use violence.
