MINNEAPOLIS , April 29. ( Special Tele-
rram.-The ) Millers took the Nebraska In
fanta down iho line again today In a game
that was lmo-t as listless as the town was
wIM with enthusiasm over the departure of
the Eoldlcc bovs this morning. Mauck In
the box was as wild as the driums of the
queen of Spain. In the second Inning he
-iilkcd three men to first and let one of
them In en a wild pitch. In the third he
tit three men. and then three men hit him
nnd Fisher moved him to the bench. Daub
taking his place and doing much better.
Cook , one of the Schmciz colts , did slab duty
for the Miller- ! , and whllo slightly wild at
times hold his opponents well In hand at
critical moments.
For the visitors Holllngsworth did the star
work at eccond. Of his seven chances , somewhat -
what difficult , ho fully sustained hla reputa
tion of ability to cover as much ground as
any ono In the league. Hcllly and Smith
caivled off the Held honors for the Millers.
Tuo former la Juet beginning to get around
with his game ankle , which , however , does
not seem to Interfere with his play. Smith
missed but one of his nine chances , and the
error was excusable. Hlckey , who'covers
first bag In the absence of Wcrden , Is pul-
ti ig up a stiff game , and Schraelz may not
lie compelled to go ftito the big league.
Werden's loss , however. Is seriously felt.

I On Sunday , May 1. the control of the
Union Pacific ehors at Denver will pass
from the Union Paclfl : railroad to the Union
Pacific. Denver & Gulf railway. The latter
corporation recently made a proposition to
the Union Pacific for the lease of the Den

cepted by President Burt of the Union Pa
cific.
In the shops at Denver that will soon lx-
controlled bv the Union Pacific , Denver &
Gull bv learo there are about 500 men em-
iiloved. It Is doubtful If the Gulf road will
mko many. If any , changes among the me
chanics employed at the Denver shops aftci
securing control of them. Tlie Gulf read haa
long needed machine and car shops at Den
ser , TJat city Is the central point and th :
most Important emu In the system , but th (
Gulf road has never had any shops of Its
own there. Up to thl ? time In the receiver
ship cf tbp Gulf road all the lozomotives am
car work of that railway has been done Q'
the Union Pacific shoos at Denver by th <
Union Pacific.
It is believed that the lease of the Unlor
Pacific by the Union Pacific , Denver 6
Gulf railway will continue during the re
celvershlp of the Gulf road. No leaeo macli
now during tdo receivership could extent
beyond the time of the road'a reorganize

possible that the operation ot the American

fitted with armor protection over all their
exposed machinery and have ulrrody recelxed

department to considerably supplement thcso
batteries at the navy yards , but owing probably - -
ably to the receipt of Information from
abroad of the movements of some very
richly laden Spanish vrikicls , the department
does not. consider that time remains to com
plete the work In Iho ordinal y mcnncr at. .

be offered as to the destination of thssrt

rumored they ere headed directly for thj
