SPEAKER CANNONS REPLY.
Responding to the presentation of the me
mortal by Mr.. Gompers, Speaker Cannon said. in
part.
speak Representative, and not for Con-
gress. 1t is proper for me to say, touching your
reference to the employers liability bill or law,
which has been construed by the court of last
resort, which under form of government
must be supreme in the construction OF the law,
that / am of the belief as / move about and
come in contact with members of the House,
that there has been time since the delivery
of the opinion of the court in the case referred
to when there has not been a sentiment j should
say wellnigh universal in the House. to enact
such an employers liability bill-the original OF
which originated In the House and which has
recently been construed by the court-i1 con-
formity with the opinion Of the court will
give a remedy to employees for injuries, taking
care. far Congress the House may be
able to do so. that the act that may be enacted
Is so framed that il will be sustained by the
courts. / cannot tell Just when. because with
respect 20 the fifteen thousand bills that have
already been introduced and referred 10 the
appropriate committees in the orderly transac-
ton of business in the House. in any other
deliberative bcdy, they must await the action of
the committees. And yet l apprehend and
convinced that after full consideration there
Will be action on that bill by the House. and
possibly. probably, far as I know aud be
lieve, by the Senate.
MR. FAIRBANKS PROMISE
The delegation called on the Vice President
at $50 o'clock. Mr.. Gompers introduced his
associates and briefly explained the purposes of
the visit. Mr.. Farley read the statement of
grievances. The Vice President responded as
follows:
Your petition is clearly and strongly present.
ed. ! will that it is brought to the atten-
tion of the Senate you desire at the earliest
moment possible. Speaking personally, | hope
and believe that Congress will be disposed to
give TO the important subjects you have called
to It's attention that consideration which their
Importance justif1es, to the end that justice and
fairness may be done.

THE DIAMOND
BILL CAME BACK
 WITH SOME LUCK
Rogers Returns and Pitches His Team to Victory-Corcora
 and Mclean in Form.

Bridgeport, June 6.---Lefty Bill Rogers, wno used to bother Bridge port in the old days, showed himself to be the same stumbling block yesterday when he held the Orators to three hits and enabled Waterbury to trim O'Rourke's men by the score of to 0. Rogers had his southpaw slants working in mid-sea- son s.yle and the local swatters did- n't have a ghost of a chance to do any business. Jimmy O'Rourke, who has been pounding all the pitch CTS without showing any fayoritism, couldn't get ball out of the dia- mond. He did the next best thing, though, by working Rogers for two passes and beating out an infield hit.
 Gid Brown, released by New Ha- ven, went on the bridge for Bridge port. He showed that he is pretty nifty twirler by holding down the Brass City clouters to three safe- ties. He was a trlne wild in the sec ond inning. but after that settled down and kept the visitors walking back to the bench. With proper support, Brown would have white washed Waterbury Both of the runs scored by the visitors were due to punk fielding by the Orators.
 Hit and Lynch were the offenders in fielding. Hit had three costly errors and was hoo ted by the crowd. Lynch appeared to be nervous. He booted both the chances that came his way. Phelan dug up some hard ones at the first sack, and Hi Ladd made several good catches in the center pasture.
 -.le real fielding gems of the ar ternoon were furnished by the visis- ors. In the sixth inning after Brown had famed, O'Rourke walked and stole second. Beaumont slammed a low liner over third base and every body started to yell for it looked like a two-bagger. Murphy, the It. tie Waterbury infielder, dashed over, caught the ball with his bare hand and completed a double play by get ting ORourke at second base. That settled Bridgeport's chance for a run. Tn the next inning Herman Bronkie ran in and caught Hi Ladd's short fly few inches from the ground. Bronkie was going so fast that he turned somersault, but he held the ball.
 E Waterbury collected a run in the first inning. Perro,t got life on Lynch's tumble and Fitzpatrick sacrificed. Swander went out on an easy toss to .own, but Hit made a mess of L. ne's rap and Perrott scored. In the third the visitors made their second run. Once more Lynch started the trouble by boot ing Fitzpatrick's grounder. Swan der sacrificed and then Hit helped the enemy by fumbling Lepine's roll CT. Fitzpatrick went to third on the play and crossed the plate after Ladd caught Bronkie's fly.
 The only good opportunity Bridge port had to start anything was in the eighth, when Cassidy and Brown produced singles and fingered on the bases with two down. Jimmy O'Rourke came up. but his best was a foul to Lucia. The score:

MITCHELL GROWING BIG.

Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco fight promoter, will arrive in New York to-day with Stanley Ketchel, the new middleweight champion of the world Ketehel will be accom- panied by his manager, and Coffroth hopes to sign him with Sam Lang ford, of Boston, for a fight at Col ma. Ketchel will remain in New York until next Tuesday night, when he will be at the ringside of the National Athletic club, East Twenty-fourth street, to see the fight between Harry Lewis and Will lie Lewis. It is likely that he will be engaged to meet the winner Of that match in six-round contest at the National club.
 "Ketchel is growing fast, and he wants to meet all the light men he can," wrote Coffroth to Manager Harvey of the National club. "At the rate he is going Ketchel will soon be big enough to meet Burns, and he says he doesn't mind taking any of the eastern men on in short distance contests, because he. wants to get all the money he can. He thinks they are easy picking"
 Abe Attell will also be at the ringside on Tuesday night to make match with Charles Griffin, the Australian champion. They will probably appear at the National club on June 23.

BASE BALL NOTES.

| The ice is broken.
 New players are arriving.
 Toner was at short for Waterbury yesterday and fielded his position well. A light hitting game on both sides was that with Bridgeport yesterday, but Bridgeport made lots of errors.
 Mullaney, the outfielder purchased from Lynn. arrived here last night and will get into the game this after noon in New Britain.
 Saturday, June Waterbury at New Britain, Bridgeport at Meri- den e gamesl, New Haven at Hol- yoke, Springfield at Hartford. With the advent of Toner at short, Murphy at third and Mullaney in the outfield. there may be something dropping in the way of releases. As yet, however the new recruits have not shown any extensive qualities as stickers.
 Bill Rogers, rejuyenated Bill, came back into the game yesterday and let the Bridgeports down with three lit- tie bingoes. Perhaps Bill has been in conference with venerable Phil Cor coran and has partaken of some of Phil's elixir of life.
 Frank Mclean made his second ap- pearanee in this league very auspi- cious one Twirling for Springfield he allowed the heavy sticking Meri- dens just two hits yesterday. Re- iuvenation seems to be the order of the day just at this time.
 A new innovation in baseball was introduced by Lew Dockstader. the Minstrel King. at Denver last week. when the Dockstader mintsrels played the Denver Post team for the benefit of the Children's hospital. DOckstader, who made the only home run of the day. did the feat in his big sixty horsepower Thomas Flyer. and Jim Corbett, who was umpire, allowed the run to stand in the score, greatly to the disgust of the newspaper team.
 Manager A. L. Paige of the New Britain ball nine announced last night that he had signed a new in- fielder. Hayes, from the University of Vermont. who is at present coaching the team there. He win report June IS. Mclaughlin has been signed and pitched yesterdays game. He played gilt edge ball and outpitched Laven- der Manager Paige denies a report that he had released MeCsbe. He says he has no idea of any such thing. AL meda. the Cuban. is still missing.
 There was to have been a game between the Crescents and the Pots and Pans tomorrow on she Hill street diamond but the boys from the kitchen would not play. Last even ing Captain Sayles put Ep s100 in good green bills but neither a Pot nor a Pan Eoti1d take him.
