Another dTeaTy day, with little pros

he would start the double-header at 2

possible chance Of getting away with it.
Cleveland has been rather easy pick

and it is with genuine regret that 'ao
local fans have seen the Maps arrive n
the midst OF such a bad streak Of
weather. Not only do they think this a
good opening for the sprightIy Ma
tionals to fatten their averages. ss;::
take It all In all, Lajoie is still the
base ball star whose work is watched
with the most abiding interest by fans
all over the American circuit. Ty Cobb,
George Stone and others in their SEN
sational sticking and daring stunts on
the bases are genuine thrillers. but La
joies batting, his wonderfully grace
fuI fielding and the nonchalant manner
in which he performs his best tricks
make him the all-rOund star of this
league. Like the little brook. OF Bryan,
he goes on forever, time having little
effect upon him, and just as well worth
the price Of admission one year as
anothe', even when the figures show he
is not up 10 his usual standard.
Glad tidings were borne to the Cleve-
land camp this morning when Terry
Turner informed the bunch that he had
gone to the osteOpath who has been
treating Jesse Tennehill. and the new
tangled doctor said he had the com
mon falling OF most bail players in
these strenuous days Of having disar-
ranged the tendons on the ends Of his
biceps in the strain OF throwing With all
his might As in TennehfPs case. both
tendons were in bad. having Slipped
out Of place, and switched around to
the sides of his shoulder blades, leav-
ing the great short stop In a lost and
undone state. Turner was given a
course Of sprouts last night and will
continue the treatment while here. So
many ball players have had their USE
fulness restored by bone-setters and
osteopaths in the past few years that
Turner is greatly encouraged. and be-
lieves he viii soon be able to resume
his former position as one Of the best
short stops in the game. At present he
is holding a job in right field so that
the club may derive some benefit from
his batting, but his heaving is very
weak and offers many opportunities
to the opposition.

SENATE

The Byrd liquor BILL or rather anti
liquor bill. was the order OF the day
in the Senate yesterday. 1t was in the
special charge of Senator Mann, but
he had able cohorts among the men,
bers and many sympathizers among
the spectators. The galleries were
crowded. among the persons there be-
ing about forty colored women. who
remained for n couple of hours On
the floor was the Rev. James Cannon,
president of the Antl-Saloon League.
and Field Secretary West. who fol-
lowed the proceedings closely. Beside
them sat some gentlemen who are sup
posed not to represent the Anti-Saloon
League. Popular interest in the pro-
ceedings was probably greater than at
any former meeting of the Senate dur
ing the session.
Before the hour for the special order
arrived reports We're received from the
House and from the standing commit
received from the committee of the
constitutional Convention, which had
in charge the printing OF tho debates

was in response to a resolution of In

was signed by Messrs. Carter Glass,
j. NJ Willis. G. " Meredith and Henry
Fairfax. 1t set forth the many causes
which have operated to delay the
printing of the two volumes of the de-
bates. such as new firm succeeding

made, the printers strike and the de-
lay in having members correct their
speeches. q plan which was tried for a
while and had to be abandoned. The
printers give assurance that the last
volume WIN be ready for distribution
in about a month.
Several local bills were passed and
one or two of minor interest. House

was the patron, was passed. 1t pro-
vides that the Governor may remit a
fine In a case where the convicted man

mode of procedure, and passing all
measures of this nature on the calendar
to engrossment.
The most important bill under this
class was that offered by Mr. Byrd,
which authorizes any railroad company
to surrender its charter and take a
new one under the present Constitution.
This virtually provides for a new char
ter for the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad. The other bills
! advanced were mostly local in their
character.
Mr.. Churchman reported that the con-
ference committee appointed last week
to consider Housa bill No. 154 had
reached an agreement as to amend
ments, and later the Senate communi-
Gated its passage in that body. The
bill in Question refers to peddlers OF
organs, pianos, etc. and the amend
ment puts a tax of $40 year upon
each wagon, besides the factory tax.

Messrs. Pulliam and Sydnor offered

Mr.. Montague spoke in favor of the
amendment, saying that at present
Judge Watson was over-worked, and
that this county should be taken out
