Mr.. C%ulberson, 'in which a head Of a

Mr.. Aldrich remarked that all the
representations Of the secretary Of
the treasury are made to the senate
in printed form.
Mr.. Tillman retorted to this sug-
eestion by declaring: ''The secretary
of the treasury Is assuming the airs Of
a president before. he Is elected to
that office. The president sends his
message in this printed form, but I

Senator Carter of Montana referred
to constant opportunities that had

added. "he would have been criticised.

Mr.. Carter said he recalled an In
stance In the senate several years
ago in which a cabinet onlcer had been
criticised for sending a document to
the senate in typewriter form instead
OF having it written with a pen.
Ny. Tillman said there never had
been such unaccountable delay in re-

Fans 3 Men in Railroad
Y. M. c. A. Game.

Forrest Thompson, the twirler for the
shopmen in yesterdays game of the
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A League. against
the Car Department, struck out twenty
three men in nine innings.
Thompson is a tall fellow with a de-
livery like cannon. He has been play
ing BAN in the city for two years He is
d member of the Congressionals, Gath
ersDurg A. c.. and of the Turnerites, Of
the Marquette League. Thompson struck
out three men in each OF five innings
and in one inning struck out four, one
being lost by the first baseman. Three
men struck out every time they were
up ana he never famed less than two
an inning. lie said he wasn't trying
for a strike-out record. but Tor no
hit game. but as his chances We're spoil
ed in the second round and again ia the
sixth, he was going % get even by
striking ont every man he could.
In the second. third, eighth and ninth
rounds every man went down TO his
curves.
Thursdays game was the second he
had pitched con the Y. NJ. c. As dia-
mond. In the first, q seven inning skirm-
ish. he struck out fourteen with his
terrible curves.
Three Of the four hits registered
against him yesterday were scratches.
In three innings, but one man escaped
him and in the last six rounds five
reached first sack, two by his passes
and two by hits.
Thompson has played several games
with the Shopmen. He generally played
short or caught, but never in the
pitchers box until last Monday, when he
opposed The same team as he did
Thursday.
The Car Department, although the
tallender does not deserve that pOsf-
tion because OF inability TO hit, but be-
cause Of weak fielding.

After starting fairly well by taking
one game out of four from St. Louis
and two out of four in Chicago it has
dropped three straight to Cleveland, the
last going yesterday by 6 TO 1. Dele
hanty and Clymer cussed themselves
out OF the game on Wednesday when
they objected to SILK O'LOughtin's de-
cisions and that has not helped the
team, while Unglaub is playing with
cracked ribs. Bill Shipke IS unuer tno

sention In the ranks. Fine billiards,
that. Just when the long suffering fans
of this city thought they had a team
which would surely be able 10 finish
