ST. PAWI , Minn. , Mny li.-Speclnl [ Tele
gram to TUB HBK. I .V small crowd wont out
to Athletic park this afternoon and spent
most of Its time npplaudlngthobrllllart work
of the nlno men representing Omaha In tbo
Western association. They won the game
from the St. Paul aggregation of plgmlos In n
veritable walk , nnd opinion here Is that
Ornnhn is amply strong to win the pennant.
Certain it Is that the team Is far the strong
est that has yet appeared bore.
In the opening inning Conloy at second
fumbled Shannon's ground ba\l. \ Then the
cannonading began. Hnlllgnn snt the ball
Into the center corner for tbreo bases and
'Sutcllffo pasted n pretty Afnglo out to loft ,
Twitchcll put n double Into right and Urlfllti
went out on n pop up to pitcher. U'nlsh fol
lowed with n single to right ana McC.mlcy's
double to left Scored the llfth run for the in
ning ,
In the next Inning two runs came in on hits
by Shannon , Sutcllffo nr.d Grlflln.
In the third two bases on balls , some line
liaso stealing , a sacrifice and a mil IT gave the
visitors two runs without a hit.
Good sequential hitting In the sixth and 1
eighth brought around foiir'more , and a base
on balls , a steal and n hit In the seventh guvo
another.
The Saints did not score until the seventh ,
when tfitoljorg fromsbcorgood nature merely
tossed 'em over the plate , giving tno locals
five runs In the next three innings.
The features of the game , outside of the
clean bitting of thn vUltors , was u pretty
catch by Abbey , the line work at second nnd j
short by Shannon nndnlsli , nnd thu great
base .stealing by tbo visitors , their record
running up to ten. The local team was
clearly out classed In every position iu the
field. Manager Watklns Is scouring tbo
country for material , but the town has
already gone back on the team , nnd It is a
chance if it lives a month. Score :

Sioux Car , In. , May 14. ( Special Tele
gram to TUB BEB. ] Sioux City is crushed
again. The Fanners came up fnyn Lincoln
and did it. Wild Bill Widner arrived yester
day and went into tbo box today , bragging
about his form. The Farmers were wnitinir
lor nun , aim uiey pounnod mm line boiier-
jnaliors. They played in the Held like one
logged mon , but they could hit Wldnci.
Ho was so wild that the Farmers might have
saved time by beginning regularly at first.
In the llrst inning the Farmers began to
mop the green earth with the locals.
This is the way : Cline got first
on bnls ! and got to third on
'
'Raymond's tap to third mid Van Dvko's wild
throw to llrst. J. Howe bit safe and scored
Cllno. Burkctt hit safe und Haymond
scored. Uowo dropped nt llrst , Totnncy hit
for three bags and scored J. Kmvo atid Bur-
kott Stafford How out and Tomney .scored.
Wilson struck out.
Not till the fourth Iniilne did the Farmers
bring nny moro produce 'o market. Then
Itouch struck out , Cllno got n base on balls ,
Hnymond dropped at llrst , Ho wo got abase
on balls , Burkott hit safe and Cllno scored ,
but Uowo fell at llrst.
In tbo seventh inning they harvested n
prodigious crop. Dave Koivo flow out to
Poorman , Tourney hit for two bpK-o and tal-
, ltod on another by Stafford. \ \ ilson lilt safe
and tallied on Konch's two-bnggor. Cline
got n base on balls and Hoach , Cllno nnd
Haymond tallied on n grout hit by Haymond.
Jock Howe fell out at llrst , Burkott hit safe
but Dave Uowo How out to Nicholson.
The run ncoiod by the Lincolns In the
eighth Inning was thus : Tourney hit for two
bags and scored on another two strike by
Stafford , who got out stealing third. Konch
then forced Wilson out at second on n
llttlo hit , Cllno got n base on balls and Ray
mend forced Koaeh out on n bit to Van Dyke.
Thus Lincoln had u total of thirteen runs at
the end of tlio eighth inning , and thu Com
HusKers had but four. They made a spurt
in the ninth , and amassed lour runs , but they
were still out of sight. It would bo a waste-
lul ridiculous excess to speclllcnlly diagnose
the Corn Huskers' record. It resembled a
stone qutirry. Koach pitched a pretty
steady gnmn for Lincoln. Score :

Piriiiirun , Pa. , May It. The game bo-
twcen the PltLsburgs and New Yorks was n
slugging match from start to finish. New
fork sUcd up Stnloy's delivery in the third
inning and from that period until the fifth
knocked out two und three-baggers with the
greatest ease. Staley's support , however ,
was gilt edged , which fact alone prevented
New York from scoring moro than three runs
in the fifth on throe throe- base hits nnd one
two-bagger. King took Staley's place In thp
slvth and the visitors could do nothing with
bis delivery. Hotter ball playing has never
been seen on the home grounds than that .of
the Pittsburg team today , while Now York ,
although able to hit the ball , played a lifeless
came. Attendance , 3'JSS. Score :

Castaway is a good . horse as he

DISCIIAKCEl ) ITS SWirCllllEN ,

Its Uniou Men ,
i
THE MANAGEMENT SICK OF STRIKES ,
New Men on Hand to Take ( lie
of tlio Old Kin ploycs nntl Trains
Moving tlio Sanio
as Umutl.
Cinc oo , May 14.The troub'o ' between
the Chicago it Northwestern railroad nnd its
switchmen , growing out of the discharge of
a ynrdmastor , culminated this morning In the
discharge of the entire force , numbering T,0
men. The company has been anticipating this
necessity for some time nnd prepared for it.
New men were hired and distributed through
the yards , taking the placc.s of those dis
charged. All The morning trains went out us
usual and no trouble was reported ,
Tlio Northwestern ofltcora state that for
more than two years the situation regarding
the switchmen has been constantly growing
worse. The men not only struck frequently
for trivial causes , but they had u num
ber of times demanded the discharge
of men who performed satisfactory
work and whoso only fault was ' that they
were not members of the Swltrh'mcn's union.
About two months ago they demanded tbo
discharge of Ynrdmastor McNernoy , nnd to
avoid trouble ho was ostensibly dismissed ,
but was kept on tint pay roll of tlio company
und was this morning reinstated In his old
position.
General Manager Whitman says : "The
management Is fully determined that this
state of-nffnlrs has gone far enough , nnd
while It proposes to lcnl fairly nnd justly
with its employes und give fair and Just con
sideration to nr.y grievance properly pre
sented , Its also proposes to manage
Its own property nnd its own busi
ness in its own way nnd place
itself in n position where the public which it
servos can bo proixiriy accommodated with
out being put to inconvenience and annoy
ance. "
All the other railroad companies nro ap
plauding the action of the Northwestern and
will come to its supx | > rt if necessary. Th
discharged employes are only those on tbo
Northwestern system proper , which does not
Include the lines west of thu Missouri river.
Ueports from all points aru to the olTcct
that trains nro moving pretty generally on
time and the Interruption to business is very
slight. At points where new switchmen
have not been provided the trainmen are doIng -
Ing the switching.
Dispatches from Milwaukee and Madison ,
Wls. ; Clinton , la. , and other places on tbo
road say the switchmen ut those points were
discharged und puld oft this morulng.
This nftornoon tbo discharged men hero
hold a secret meeting to settle tbo course of
action. It is known that some of them favor
asking the company to reinstate tneni.
Others counsel holding , out and resort to
violence If necessary.
There Is n rumor that the order will bo
called on to declare n general strike on the
St. Paul , Hock Island nnd Burlington roads ,
whose managers are supposed to bo in sym
pathy with the action of the Northwestern.
The company is supported in its position by
the conductors' ' firemen's and brakoir.cn's
unions not included in the national federa
tion. At Fort Howard , Wls. , not a wheel Is
turning. A Green Bay freight is tied up
there.
To a committee of the men who called upon
President Marvin Hughitt that ofllclal said :
"Tho switchmen of this road for the last two
vears have bnun nbout riinnitiir thu road. Wo
have been humiliated , Mr. Whitman nnd I ,
nnd other ofllcials , and now wo { .roposo to as
certain whether wo can run our own road.
Wo decided to discharge every switchman in
our employ. iVo are bucked up by every
trainmen's order In the federation excipt the
switchmen. Now , this Is not an attack upon
unions in any way , but simply n matter ofi
discipline. We must know who are going to
dictate , olllcluls or employes. "
No 'Strike in Omaha.
Inquiry was made last night ai the upper
freight yards of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minne
apolis & Omaha and the Fremont , Elkhorn
& Missouri Valley railways , which ore
branches of the Northwestern system , In re
gard to tbo reported wholesale discharge of
the union switchmen at the Chicago yards.
The Northwestern rood Iwb no switchmen in
direct employ on this side of the river , and
the trouble U not expected to extend Into the
branches of the Northwestern s.vsto.n.
In all ' ninq switchmen uro employed in tbo
iipper'yanls of the rend mentioned. The day
crow hnd'Workcd as usual and the full night
crow wns on- duty nnd the men spoken to
knew , nothing about thn matter except what
had beoji printed in yesuirday'.s Bun.
The report was not given much credence
by thV O mub a switchmen. Nearly nil thn
men employed' in throwing switches In these
yards belong to the union and declared thelv
intention of staying by tbo organization.

ST. PAUL , Minn. , May 14. Uailroad dis
patches from the districts affected by
lorcst nros snow tnui mo situation ,
while not at present threatening to railroad
companies , is most grave. Superintendent
Kimberly states that tbo greatest damage to
Northern Pacillc property was In the vicinity
of Northern Puclllc Junction , where fover.il
miles of telegraph lines were destroyed. The
lines have been repaired and are working
this morning. This morning the llros wore-
still raging , but at a distance remote from
tbo railroad property. General Superin
tendent Scott of the Onuilm thinks that nil
danger to that company's property is past.
The briugD at Hawthorne is repaired.
East of Ashland a forest lire is raging this
morning. Back firing and 'cutting have
been resorted to , and ut 5 o'clock last evenIng -
Ing the domes scorned somewhat subdued.
At S o'clock , Just as darkness came , the wind
freshened up and the bla/o burst out afresh.
Two miles cast of Ashland the forest Is n
mass of itumcs. Flames shot Into the air
seemingly ono hundred feet high and
the smoke is so dense that it
hangs like a pall over everything.
A fierce fire con also bo seen across the bay
where last uieht It was reported that danger
was pant. Uallroad ofilclnls state that the
losses to the companies will not bo worth
mentioning , but that tbo loss to private prop
erty holders along the loads will oo terrible.
Thomas L. Costello , an extensive lumber
owner along the line of the Omaha , places
bis loss at $ . ' 00,000. Mr Costello cnmo
down from Ouluth this mdVnlng. For
throe days ho has boon right on the cdgo of
the tire and ho thlnlis th < ) only thing that
can prevent n continued spread of the Humes
is rain. The distress among settlers along
the lines of the railroads Is great Although
many families have stayed by their homesteads -
steads until the Ilamos were at their back
doors , it is thought that no lives have boon
lost. Dulutli , Ashland and Superior nro full
of people drlvcu out of tbo wooods. The
heaviest losses In lumber , Air. Costello
says , will bo found along thn Omaha nnd
Northern Pacific railroads. Thousands of
dollars worth of valuable plno has boon
utterly wiped off the earth. Five miles from
South Superior the country presents a most
desolate appearance. Tbo expanse of charred
ground seems almost boundless. There Is
very llttlo but charred stumps , and
for miles nnd miles spiral columns
of black smoke creep upward und
mingle with the murky atmosphere
alrendy overhanging the scone. It Is Impos
sible at present for the lumber men to cull-
mutu iholr loss except In a few Instanced.
Dispatches of tbo Dululli railroad from
Black Hlvcr Falls state that that city Is sur
rounded by lire , though ut a considerable dls-
t.'incu. It'ls not thought tnnt the town is In
danger. The wires aru still down between
Ashland und West Superior. A telegram
from the latter place this morning Indicated
that tbo Urea were heaviest there. . A gang
of thirty mon loft St. Paul for Ashland this
morning. They will bo employed In lighting
the flumes In that vicinity.

Kuroppuii sympathy wits with Italy , and ho
hoped for 11 friendly solution of the questions
Involved.
Signer Qulntlerr.nftoracknowledging what
ho termed tlio strict legality of 1'romlor di
Uudlnl'B action in OIL dlsputo with
the United States , und tno mod- .
oi-.ito character of hU demands ,
asked whether In view of _ lho verdict of the
Now Orleans grand jury It would nutbumoru

tolerating tboni.
Signer Vulnoitooxnrcsso.1 his regret lit the
nipttiru In the relations between the United
Status and Italy. Ho thought Unit llttlo
should be said about the nil air , us It was i
very Jollcato matter. Ho bogged Premier
ill Hudlnl to use every cnduavor to bring
about a settlement of the dispute , which ha
said ought not to bo allowed to linger. ,
Premier dl Kuillnl explained that the for
eign policy generally of the drlobuml aimed
to maintain the equilibrium of I'.uropj.
It was undesirable , ho said , that the
foreign policy of n great country should ba
discussed often. [ Cries of "licur , " "hear. " |
Alliances wore not made or renewed on tlio
caprlco of the moment. On the contrary , the
premier declared , It was es.sonti.il that a
great nation should pursue a constant line of
action In order to be able to gather tlio fruits
of Its own policy. KxaijgorntoJ importance
ought not to bo given to the Now Orleans
affairs , nor a question essentially Judicial
converted Into 0110 of natural dignity. The
recall of Haron Vava , was a protest ugalnst
the conduct of the Lulled States government
In declaring Itself irresponsible in the .mat-
tor. The question seemed to bo entering u
now phase. "Judicial proceedings linvo
boon eominoncca against the lynchors , "
continued thu premier , "but I uinnot
say to wlmt oxtout the proceed
ings are serious. Nevertheless , I nm
certain that Europe approves our action.
Our consul at Now Orleans lias been recalled - _ ,
called , partly bccauso tbo government wishes " y
to obtain the fullest Information In regard to
the matter and partiv because * wo fear that
sonio of the communications which the consul
published or permitted to bo published were
inopportune. " Referring to Italy's com
mercial relations , dl Itudinl deelarcit that ha
had opposed the policy of the treaty and
would fry to conelmlo such treaties with
neighboring states as would bo to tbo be.it
interests of national economy. Kcpl.vltiir to
n question relating to ttiu New Orleans grand
Jury nnd Sigt.or Corto , tlio Ituli'in consul at
Now Orleans , Premier Kudlnl said that bo
bud learned through the newspapers of tlio
Incident regarding the consul , If the news
was true tbo matter would of itself suftlea
to prove the necessity of tUo recall of Consu
Corto. 'N.
The discussion was then adjourned. .

Koport of the Special Citizen * * ' Com

NKW Om.uAX ? , La. , May 14. The citizens'
committee appointed by the mayor last Oc
tober to Investigate the matter of the exist
ence of the Matin and to devise necessary
means and the most effectual nnd speedy
measures for the uprooting und total annihi
lations of auch associations nud also suggest
a needful remedy to prevent the Introduction
hero of criminals and paupers from Kuropo ,
inndo its final report tonight.
The committee gives , i report of its pro
ceedings and the work it accomplished. It
denies responsibility for the lynching and
says that tbo execution of the Italians was
by people justly aroused to the point of tak
ing tbo law in their own haads. The report
details also the work of the committee. On
this point the report says'A : subcommittee -
too called upon the Italian consul anil nssnic < ! , .
him that the purpose of that body was !
logallv rid the community of criminals avfl
give gronter.security to life and property to
nil its citizens of whatsoever nationality.
The consul stated that , ho was satisfied of
this und was read1 to co-operato
with us to this end nnd ho would
Immodlntely prop.iro and send us a re
port containing all the Information In
his possession. Ho stated that be wns con
vinced of the existence of the Mafia In this
city and brought out the registration papers
of Baguette and pulled out the Imprint of a
seal which bo Informed us was the seal of
(
the Mafia. Ho suld ho had strong .suspicions _ ,
which led to conviction In his mind ns to who '
were the leader.- this society , and ho fur
nished the commttt 'o with the names. Ho
stated that prior to the Honnossy assassina
tion ho hail in sonio way unconsclou-ilv In
curred the displeasure of u coterlo composed
principally of men who mot their death at tlio
parish unson on March 14 , that
they invited him to supper , and although ho
partook sparingly ot oyster soup only , when
fie returned homo he wns taken dn : i oratoly
ill , suffered intensely all night , nnd hi J symp
toms bore all the evidence of poisoning nnd
hu was satistlcd his life had oeon attempted.
Tbo written information promised your coin-
raittoe never came. The consul said ( list
that ho had telegraphed to Washington 'of
authority to give it to us , und uftonvarJs
notillcd the committee that It being 'an extra
Judicial body' bo did not feel wirrnntu. ) ( in
giving us thu promised Information. "
In conclusion the report says ; "In tbo
resolution of appointment this committee wns
requested to suggest needful remedies , It
only remains for us , therefore'to point out ,
the remedy If possible. In our opinion tbo
remedy Is : Kirs-t , rngulntlonof iimnlgtallon ;
second , reform in tlio criminal laws nnd ad
ministration of criminal Justice ; third , n law
recognizing the existence of n bar association
and endowing it with full pmvor to try nnd
dlsb.ir any attorney whoso evil pmcticvs
make him unworthv of being nn oflli of of ilm
court. The only radical remedy uli.uli suggests -
gest-s itself Is the entire prohibition of eniify. . '
irratlon from Sicily and lower Italy. "
