Strike Is Renewed.

The Stock Yards strike was declared
on again in Chicago Friday morning.
less than 80 hours after a peace agree
ment had been signed. On the charge
that the packers were discriminating
against certain persons in the re-em-
ployment process the union officials CO.
dered their men to quit work. and the
situation at the yards was soon as bad
as ever.
Confusion, excitement and charges of
bad faith attended the new walk-out.
The union charged discrimination on
the part of the packers in taking back
the strikers. The employers asserted
that only delay, to be expected in eff
forts to resume normal operations, was
at fault. 1t was evident, however, that
the contending forces were farther
apart than at any time during the or
iginal strike. The strike was renewed
in other packing centers also.
Strike leaders declared that unless
the employers changed their attitude
at once, all the allied trades workmen
stoppage of work at the packing plants
would ensue
When the men reported for work in
a body early in the morning they were
met by the announcement that 1t
would be impossible at present to take
back more than half the force. The
workers met this announcement sui
lenly. Notwithstanding the clause in
the agreement which gave the packers
45 days in which to supply work for all
the strikers. The strikers said: You
must take us all back or none OF us
will go to work"
Many of them did 90 TO work, how
ever but little later the leaders APP
peared, and on discovering that some
of the men who were turned away had
been prominent figures in the strike
they declared that the packers were
employing a ''revengeful discrimina-
ton" and the strike was declared to
be on once more.
President Donnelly, after comforting
with other leaders, gave the order for
the strike and then sent this telegram
to union officials in other packing CEN
tiers of the country: Packers already
have violated agreement by diserimi-
nation. Order men out"
When the word that another strike
was ordered reached the workmen who
had gone to the different departments
to begin their labor. they finished the
work Immediately in hand and then
marched in bodies out Of the yards,
taking their tools with them.

it out that his club would put in it's pre-
lininary training at Chippewa Falls, Wis,
and that the members of the bshad

April 20. This is at least two weeks
earlier than the team has ever assembled

fore the beginning Of the league sea-

According to the list which Mr.. Van
Praagh now has, he should have at least
twenty men on hand when the first ball
is tossed out on the diamond. Some of
them are old leaguerS who have already
served on the team and have made them
selves solid with the Duluth fans. Others
are untried in this league and their work
will be watched with much interest. The
choice of captain has not been made,
but Van Praagh will be on the ground
himself during the practice and will per-
sonally supervise the wedding out of the
men.
1t is expected that the official schedule
of the league will be promulgated by the
league during the coming week. and that
soon thereafter the official edition of the
playing rules will be forthcoming. Ennis

WHY GRANT FAILED TO
TOAST THE PRESIDENT
Declares It Was Solely Because He
Was Not Prepared for a Speech.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-"Presidency
and president are distinct terms" said
Gen. Fred D. Grant today when asked
if he had been correctly understood
when it was reported of him that he
declined to toast the president Of the
United States at the ST. Patrick's day
banquet of the Irish Fellowship club.
The general made the following state
ment:
1 am extremely disguised and annoy
ed at the statement made with reference
to my remarks at the banquet last night.
I had been invited to attend and to speak
at the Irish Fellowship club in celebra-
ton of st. Patrick's day and had ac-
1 would not be called upon for a speech.
I had understood that l would not be
asked to respond to any stated toast, and
had therefore gone to the banquet with
out any preparation to talk on any sub
ject.
After arriving there I found that they
had assigned me to respond to the toast,
"The President of the United States"
and when 1 arose I attempted to give an
excuse for not talking on the subject. My
excuses were that was not permitted by
the regulations to discuss the president or
other. civil officers, and I reminded them
of the disaster that had befallen some
officers who had come from the Philip
pines. Another was that l did not know
anything about the presidency, meaning
thereby that 1 had not studied up the
usual platitudes given to the office; and
third, that / was no orator.
/ am particularly chagrined at the way
the report is put in the paper, which
would draw the inference that [ referred
to the present president, for whom have
the warmest admiration and with whom
/ have had most agreeable personal ac-
quaintance.

.EVASIVE REPLY SENT
New York Yacht Club Gives
Upton Little Satisfaction.

NEW YORK, March 18.-The New
York Yacht club has replied to the letter
of Sir Thomas Upton in which the Irish
baronet asked if the club would accept
a challenge for race for the America $
cup under the new rule of measurement
Of the club
Sir Thomas Upton, in asking If the
club would accept a challenge under the
new rules, practically asked the club to
bar the Reliance, Constitution and CO.
lumbia from participating in future races
for the cup These boats could not be
used as defenders because the present
rules of the club limit the draught of any
boat to eighteen feet and these three
draw twenty feet each.
1t is understood from club members who
have a knowledge Of what the committee
agreed upon that the letter intimated to
Sir Thomas Upton that the club does not
cross a bridge until it comes to it and that
it has no power to say what it will do in
the event of a challenge being received
and can make no agreement with any one
which shall govern future contests. The
letter points out that the deed of gift
requires challenge to come to some one
yacht club and that it is the challenging
club, and not the representative, that
the New York Yacht club recognizes. If
challenge is received from some yacht
club, asking for a race under certain con-
ditions, then the matter will be considered
by the New York Yacht club and some
definite action taken

DULUTH. Mimi, March 1Ss-Eight men
who will make up the crew to be sent to
Madison, Wis. in June to participate in
the races which will be held in connection
with the celebration of the fftieth ami
versary Of the institution, have adopted
a novel method of getting into training
quickly. They have arranged to pump a
handcar on the Duluth & Iron Range road
to Two Harbors, distance Of twenty
miles, on Sunday. and make the return
trip during the evening. It. is expected
that q large number of their friends will
be on hand to watch them start the trip
and welcome them on their return.
The members of the party will be An
thony Puck, Albert De Vaughn, Dennis
Deighton. Elmer. White. Arthur Leroy,
William L Estrange and two others whose
names have not been announced. There
is no open water here and little prospect
of any for at least a month. The oars
men are not willing to lose SO much time,
and accordingly they have hit upon the
handcar as a means of hardening their
muscles. In addition to this heroic meth
cd, they will continue their daily training
in the Y. M. c.. A. gymnasium.
