Cleveland Beaten Before a Large and Enthusiastic Crowd. ST. LOUIS. Mo., April Fifteen thousand people passed through the stiles at Sports- man's park today to witness the opening game of the National league season, between the Spiders and the St. Louis Browns. This was the largest crowd that ever attended an opening game. here. The day was perfect and the enthusiasm of tho big crowd of "fans" uproarious. They went wild over the playing of the home team, which put up a snappy game from the beginning. The Browns' fielding was perfect, while that of tho visitors was not up to the standard set by last year's games won by the Spiders. They made two costly errors. Breitenstein \u25a0was in good form and pitched a wonderful game. Young was hit somewhat more freely. Monte Cross, at short, made several wonderful stops, and his excellent throwing caught the crowd, who seemed willing to accept him as a worthy successor of Ely.

The Phlladelphlas Beaten Badly by the Boston Aggregation. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 16.— The opening of the championship season in this city was signalized by a crushing defeat for the Phillies, the Bostonians having everything their own way. Over 23,000 people were on the grounds, and the crush outside was so great that the doors had to be closed and thousands turned away. The visitors' victory was largely due to the Inability of the Phillies to hit Nichols, although three fum- bles by Cross at critical Junctures proved costly.

' Many others in official circles were present !at the opening game with New York. It was a fine ball day. The game was well played, except In the fifth Inning, when the home team scored five runs.

Comiskey and the St Paul base ball team returned yesterday from their practice grounds at Dubuque, in accordance with the Comlskeyan idea that the home town should be given a good chance to see the boys play before the regular season opens. According- ly, it is announced that the team will meet the Apostles Saturday afternoon in a public game, and if any other club wants -to go against the Saints they can be found on the ' grounds from 1" a. m. to 4 p. m. dally. »The Dubuque team will take a run up here on Monday to play a game, or even two, before the home club has to leave to play at Milwaukee the opening game of Wednesday next - Manager Comiskey says he has signed an- t \u25a0 \u25a0 Beecham's pills are for bilious-- ness, bilious headache, dyspep- sia, heartburn, torpid liver, diz- ziness, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, loss ofappetite, sallow skin,etc. when caused by constipation; and constipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.

Drafted Pitchers Are Put 111-*: lit Into the Game. It looks as though the Western league drafts were going to be made to show their blood in the big league this spring, and that, too, right at the wire. Louisville put "Chick" Fraser into the box yesterday, and made him pitch the game out. He made a good showing, too. holding Chicago down to eight hits and a score of four. Fisher, the Indianapolis phenom, was knocked out of the box by Pittsburg, and his place was taken by another ex-Western leaguer, Rhlnes. But the Reds were unable to get more than one run, Just saving a whitewash, so it was a lost game anyway. ST. THOMAS WON. Beats Macalester the First Game of the Season. St Thomas' College team nas opened the season with a victory, defeating the old-time rival, Macalester, 12 to 2. St. Thomas' was especially strong ln the box and in center field.

The Auditorium Six-Day Race "Will Be Run. All of the ladles who have entered for the six-day bicycle race, which will begin at the Auditorium next Monday evening, nre work- ing like beavers to get into condition. Ri- valry such as prevails among these lady bi- cyclists can result only ln one thing— greatest struggle for supremacy ever yet engaged in by women for athletic honors. While the more experienced riders In the group are inclined to make light of the St Paul entry, there seems good warrant for saying that Miss Allarde will be amply able to give a very satisfactory account of her- self. Extreme care is being exercised fey the local management, not only to give the spectators the very best possible view of the race, but also to avoid even the chance of accident by collision or otherwise. The track is being built of generous proportions, on the best plan known to men who study track building. If fouls occur, the chances are they will be intentional, and the rider who attempts anything of the kind will be out of It. Although the rivalry is bitter, almost to the danger point, each of the girls will be given to un- derstand that she must win by superior ability if she wins at all. Then, too, tha division of the $700 in prize money will be fairly made on the percentage plan, so that every con- testant will get something, if she oovers more than the minimum number of miles. The race begins promptly at 8:30 next Mon- day evening, in the Auditorium building, and will start at the same hour each night of the week. Contestants will go for two hours, until 10:30 each night Every seat In the Auditorium will be good, because the track is in the center. In order to make tho lay of the track satisfactory to the contestants and their managers, alterations are being made ln the Auditorium that will make it appear like a new place on the opening night The track will be elevated to a height of over five feet, and will practically change the ap- pearance of the big hall. . . .-; ">J" The local management means to make this race notable ln many respects. A band will be engaged for the entire time, and during the week several extra attractions will be placed on to fill the different evenings with pleasure for ail who attend. Every day the riders entered are putting, in several hours of practice work on the Min- neapolis exposition track. On Saturday the Auditorium course will be far enough ad- vanced to allow them to practice in St Paul. WHY TAX THE BICYCLE? Correspondent Suggests That Licens- ing Would Be Better. To the Editor of the Globe. V. ;; ;;'-^-^r .>,/- It seems to me that Assessor Seng is trying to make a grand-stand play on this as- sessment of bicycles. The dally papers say that he will assess a $100 wheel at $50 and the others at $30. That sounds fine. You know that every taxpayer has $100 exempt from taxation In personal property. Now, you take most all of these young people riding bicycles, are they in any other way taxed as far as personal property Is concerned? Of course, exceptions to this are those who have property in their own name. \u25a0\u25a0: If a source of revenue from wheels Is desired, we : had better attach \u25a0 a small - license, say 50 cents each, and give the owners a brass tag to fasten to the wheel, and it will accomplish the purpose. If we put them on the personal property list, where will you collect your tax about March 1, 1897? — G. F. Umland. St. Paul, April 16. ,_, „ tv- . FOLLOWERS OF CHRIS. Columbus Club Decides Upon Its Uniform. The Columbus Bicycle club held its weekly meeting at its rooms on East Fifth street, and practically decided upon a uniform for the men. It will be of gray, with a maroon sweater, and will cost $7. Browning, King & Co. are the architects. The ladies' cos- tume was not decided upon. The club colors are black, maroon and gold. : J£?jJ; The proposition to give a musical and lit- erary entertainment was considered and re- ferred to a committtee, with C. S. Richard- son, chairman, to make the arrangements. There were about fifty present last evening. TWO BILLIARD GAMES. Daly Beaten by Schaefer and Gam- ier by Ives.

It was for some time feared that these holders would decline to convert their bonds, but would hold them to get the difference In interest James J. Hill, president .of tho Great Northern, is quoted as saying with re- lation to the Great Northern and Northern Pacific: "The supreme court of the United States has declared a consolldalon of the two lines Illegal and there Is nothing further to bo looked for in that direction. In fact, we ceased considering the project over three months ago. I think the Northern Pacific reorganization plan will succeed. Its promot- ers are conservative and have marked the Interest charges down. .We are entirely sat- isfied to have the Northern Pacific security holders run the road and pay its debts and be charged with the responsibility of meeting all proper obligations, rather than have it operated by officers of two or three courts constantly contending for jurisdiction.

P. Branches. "I'd rather tell that first to the bondholders," protested Leverett' S. Miller last night when asked by the Globe the result of his inspection of the Duluth & Manitoba rail- read. Mr. Miller, who is assistant general manager of the St. Paul & Duluth company, and hence a competent though disinterested authority, has made ' several inspections of the smaller branch railroads, feeders of the Northern Pacific, whose bonds were guaranteed by that . company previous :to its recent bankruptcy. As soon as receivers were appointed this guaranteed interest, of course, could no longer be paid. But since the reorganization of the Northern Pacific the bondholders of the branch lines, whose organization was legally Independent, . have been striving to-; secure r.av.. renewal, <- so : far as changed conditions will < permit, of the previous agreements for traffic and interest pay- ments. "There are a number of these . smaller properties," said Mr. Miller, "and I can't say what has been done to those of Mon- tana. But I looked over several Montana branches a few weeks ago, and I've got back from a trip over the Duluth & Manitoba rail- . road. This, you know, leaves the Northern Pacific main line at Winnipeg Junction, a little east of Glyndon, and runs north for 205 miles to Pembina at the boundary line. The bondholders of this company are mostly Amer- icans, and their headquarters is New York city. They commissioned me to ' examine carefully into both the present physical condition of their road and also Its prospects for future traffic, so that they can have an accurate basis for their negotiations with the new management of the Northern Pa- cific. I had to look over the roadbed and the various buildings along the line and to examine the rolling stock." No, I couldn't tell you how I found things. That would be hardly the proper thing until I have first in- formed the stockholders.' I also went up over the Northern Pacific & Manitoba, which is the Northern Pacing feeder from the boundary to Winnipeg.' This trip was only made with reference, to the southern line. I had no instructions .from the owners of the Canadian branch., I paid but little attention to its physical condition. I've made my last examination and I will submit my report to the bondholders' within a short time." ;,.;•? * ,*-.x*£\ if. .i. •\u25a0':.\u25a0-.<\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 N. P. FORECLOSURE. Hearing on the Subject Before the Senate Sub-Committee. WASHINGTON, April 16.—The subcommittee of the senate appointed to consider the bills for the reorganization of the Northern Pacific and the Atlantic & Pacific railways, under foreclosure, held a Joint meeting today to listen to arguments in behalf of the bills. Attorney Britton, of this city, appeared for the Atlantic & Pacific, and Mr. Moncowics, of New York, for the Northern Pacific. They directed their attention especially to the priv- ileges to be extended to purchasers in connection with the stock and bonds of the reads. Consideration of the bill for settling the government's debts of the Pacific roads at this session of the house seems to be assured. At a meeting of the house committee today Chairman Powers announced that Speaker Reed had promised that the bill should be brought up In the house inside of two weeks, j and that all the time desired should be given to its consideration. An important amendment proposed by Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, was adopted, as follows: "And said companies shall co-operate ln making track connections with all railroads of other companies now or hereafter built to points of Junction with their roads, and shall . share equally with companies - owning such reads in the cost thereof, I and at any point where two or more railroad:"" shall connect with their roads they shall afford to all such con- necting roads equal tlna-7§rms, rates and fa- ' cilities for the interchange of traffic. And any contract intended Dor -any preferences is hereby declared to be unlawful." . . It was also decided to report to the house the resolution introduced by Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, calling on. the attorney general for information upon the proposed reorganization of the Northa-m -Pacific.

The Western Passenger association agreement covers the business, but under it roads, members thereof, or any. of them, may have the right to maintain equality on making proper application. The only difficulty in the matter is in regard to the division of the through rate. The Southern "Pacific want- divisions . made on the basis - of a through overland rate, $64 first class, and $58,50 second. The Western roads claim they are entitled to divisions on the ' basis of through overland rates of $68.75 first class and $62.75 second class, and there the matter stands. While the dispute remains unsettled the Canadian Pacific continues to derive the benefit from its $10 differential. \ V. J. M. EGAN'S POSITION. The St. Paul Railroad Man at Mar- ' quette. John M. Egan, the well-known St Paul railroad man, Is In Marquette, Mich., where he went several days ago to assume his duties as assistant president of the Lake Su- perior & l£hpe_ling road, a line which, although only fifteen miles in length, carries an immense quantity of ore annually, fur- nishing, as it does, an outlet for three of the largest and most Important mines ln the whole Lake Superior country. The shortness of the road Is one of the factors in the problem of how to success- ' fully haul 1,000,000 tons of traffic ln a season which at best is but little over half a year long, and It was this situation that led to the selection of such a man as Mr. Egan, whose unquestionable ability has made him a prominent figure in railroading. Mr. Egan was formerly president of the Chicago Great Western road, and has been an executive of transcontinental lines. It was he who, as the direct representative of the General Managers' association, conducted the railroad side of the great Chicago strike in 1893, and the result commanded the admira- tion of his associates. The appointment is taken as an Indication that there will be a connection established with the Milwaukee road in a short time possibly before the close of the present ship- ping season. Salaries of Agents* There will be a meeting of the Western lines in Chicago next Thursday, to consider commissions paid to agents of roads running personally conducted excursions to transcontinental territory. Some of the roads running these excuslons claim they have the right of paying the agents accompanying them salaries or commissions, or both, as best suits themselves. On the other hand it is claimed that the agents accompanying such excursions should receive no higher commissions than those prescribed In the ordi- nary schedules. Baggage on Specials. CHICAGO, April 16.— ruling was handed down today by the chairman of the Western .Passenger association regarding transporta- tion charges on extra baggage carried on special trains. He holds that it is the in- tention of the agreement that when special trains are provided there shall be one baggage car attached to It without extra charge. When, however, it becomes necessary to add a second car, it shall be charged for at the rate of 25 cents per mile, and the minimum charge shall be $15. Substitute for Party Rates. It Is extremely probable that the general passenger agents of the Western lines mean to do away with the party rate tickets after May 1. There Is sure to be some sort of substitute adopted, but what It will be has not yet been decided upon. The chances are that the Western lines will be obliged to make use of the party rate to some slight extent at certain points where they come In competition with the lines of the Central Traffic association, which still use the party rate tickets. First Boat to Start April 20. Charles W. Robinson, general agent of the Union Transit company, received notice from the company's headquarters yesterday that the first boat would pull away from the dock at Buffalo about April 20. At this time It is expected the ice will be clear of the Soo, and by the agreement between the lake lines the boats of the other companies will start out about the same time. . The Maple Leaf Route.

His Case and That of Mr. Smith Will Not 'Be Investigated Once More. WASHINGTON, April 16.—Mr. Blue's fight against tho reappoint— tent of Gen. W. B. Franklin. as a member of the board of managers of the National Home for Disabled Volunteers, which- was the feature of the proceedings in the house yesterday, ter- minated unsuccessfully today when his amendment to substitute the name of Gen. O. O. Howard for that of Gen. Franklin was rejected— 6l— l49. The debate on the subject was continued until 3 o'clock, and was at times quite spirited. Both Gen. Frank- lin and Gov. Smith, of the Leavenworth home, were eloquently defended by Gen. Grosvenor, of ' Ohio; Gen. Henderson, Mr. Hull, of lowa, chairman of the committee which reported the resolutions, and others. Mr. Hepburn (Iowa), Mr. Klrkpatrlck (Kan.) and Mr. Calderhead (Kan.) spoke against Gen. Franklin. The resolution adopted today appoints Gen. Franklin and Mr. Steele, of Indiana, to succeed .themselves; George L. L. Beat, of Maine, to succeed Gen. Fes- senden, and Gen. Thomas J. Henderson, of Illinois, to succeed Gen. John C. Black. At the opening of the session Mr. Hender- son (Rep., Io.), chairman of the Judiciary committee, secured consent for the consideration of the bankruptcy bill . on Wednes- day and Thursday of next week. Mr. Tra- cey then spoke "against Gen. Franklin's appointment. Mr. Mahon (Rep., O.) declared that he would not vote to strike down Gen. Franklin or any other man on ex parte tes- timony, but he urged the. adoption of his amendment to investigate the charges against Gov. Smith, of the Leavenworth home, with Instructions to the board to dismiss him if they . were . . substantiated. Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., O.) supported the recommendation of the military affair committee. He read a letter from Gen. James Barnett, of Cleve- land, a member of the board, commending Gen. Franklin in the highest terms. Mr. Hepburn (Rep., La.) opposed the appointment of Gen. Franklin. Ray (Rep., N. V.) asked why Mr. Blue had not presented his charges to the board of managers. "Because the gentleman . from Kansas is not an ass," replied Mr. Hepburn. "It would be an ass who would present to a court for trial charges against that court." After some remarks by Mr. Calderhead (Rep., Kan.) against Gen. Franklin and by Mr. Sperry (Rep., Conn.) in his defense, Mr. Blue closed the debate for his side of the case. He repeated his charges and concluded with the statement that some mysterious in- fluence kept Gen. Franklin in his place at the head of the board. Mr. Steele (Rep., Ind.) then presented a mass of telegrams from Leavenworth and other points signed by the chaplains of the Leavenworth home and others branding the charges against Gov. Smith as false. One of the telegrams pronounced a telegram read yesterday by Mr. Blue a forgery. Mr. Hull, chairman of the committee which reported the resolution, closed the debate in Gen. Franklin's favor. Just as Mr. Hull concluded, Mr. Blue sprang a sensation by arising to a question of privilege and denouncing the statement made in a telegram read by Mr. Steele to the effect that he (Blue) had read a forged telegram to the house yesterday as a cruel and malicious falsehood and Mr. Steele's presentation as cowardly and uncalled for. Mr. Blue was very much arous- ed and charged that the telegram was read for the purpose of having. its effect on the house. Mr. Blue then asked If Mr. Hull would allow the vote on the resolution to be post- poned for ten days. This Mr. Hull declined to do.. The, speaker decided, also that a mo- tion to recommit would not be in order. Mr. Mahon's amendment to investigate Gov. Smith's conduct was .ruled out and the vote was taken on the Blue amendment to substitute the name of Gen. Howard for that of Gen. Franklin. It was rejected on a rising vote ss to 130. On the. demand of Mr. Blue tho vote was taken by yea and nay vote and resulted— 6l to 149. The resolution was then adopted without division. Several minor bills were passed. The speaker announced the appointment of Mr. Cobb (Dem., Ala.) on the ways and means committee in place of Mr. Tarsney, who was unseated; Mr. Aldrich (Rep., 111.), on banking and currency, and Mr. Van Horn (Rep., Mo.) on labor. At 4:45 the house adjourned, RECIPROCITY URGED. A Prominent Canadian Liberal Gives His Views of It. WASHINGTON,. ApriI 16.—1n response to in- vitation Hon. Edward Farrer, one of the leaders of the Liberal* party ln Canada, has submitted to the house * subcommittee of ways and means on reciprocity, a long statement giving,tho Liberal view of a reciprocity ar- rangement between the United States and Can- ada. Mr. Farrer gives at great length a history of the commercial relations between the Dominion and the United States, points to the remarkable growth of Canada under the reciprocity treaty of 1854, and recounts the heroic, though vain efforts, of the Canadians to pre- vent the lapsing of that treaty. Touching the treaty negotiated by Mr. Blame in 1800, to bring about reciprocity between the United States and Newfoundland, Mr. Farrer holds that It contained the principles upon which a treaty might now be framed that would be acceptable to the Liberals ln Canada, seeking as they do to secure the commercial Inde- pendence of the Dominion and be relieved from the necessity of consulting England in treaty making. Referring to' that treaty, Mr. Farrer says: . . _ ... * "The articles were selected with a triple ob- ject. The first was that , they should be articles of common daily use among the people- second, . that ' they should be of such a character as to be difficult to smuggle across the lines and easy of Identification as a gen- uine production of Canada or the United States; third, that they should be, as far as possible, the production of branches of in- dustry natural to Canada or the United States. A sliding scale, by which the existing cus- toms duties were to be gradually reduced, was provided for in order to give the manu- facturers time for preparation for the change. Tho Liberal party would be prepared to negotiate \u25a0 a treaty with the United States en somewhat similar lines if it should be returned to power at the approaching elections. It is safe to say that it would be prepared to negotiate on even broader lines. It fully re- alizes that the proposition of the present government at Ottawa for a reciprocity In natural products only Is scarcely fair to the United States, for most of the gain would be to Canada.'' *.*\u25a0\u25a0> .'•*'' In further support of a reciprocity agreement, Mr. Farrer contends that It would check the immigration of Canadians into the United States, and would place upon a more satisfactory ' basis the now delicate and dubi- ous question of the bonded privilege exercised by Canadian railroads.

You' may talk tariff, If you please, but this question of money must be settled on some definite', basis.

At present there is a vast amount of money lying in the United States' treasuries that is dead to business channels^ and until our. system is changed there will be no general revival of business prosper* ity." PENSION LEGISLATION. **" ' Question Considered by the Repub- lican House Leaders. WASHINGTON, April 16.— pension*' legislation to be taken up by this congress" was the subject of a conference by Repub^ : llcan leaders today. Mr. Plckler's general pension bill, reported to the house by the committee, was discussed minutely. It was decided that it would be good policy to take up the pension question and the bill will be • brought forward ln the house and ample time given for debate on It within a few days. Under this bill discontinuances or reduc- tions of pensions will be unlawful except for*' fraud or clerical error. Commissioner Raum's interpretations of the act of 1830, which have been largely reversed " by the present administration, would be restored, and pensioners dropped from the rolls by these reversals would be restored -on application. Mr. Pickler estimates that with the bill in operation the pension budget would be Increased from two to three millions a year. THE BOUNDARY QUESTION. Heatr*-ole**s Resolution Presented to the House for Action. Special to the Globe. WASHINGTON, April 16. — Congressman: Heatwole today submitted to the house his report on the boundary question between the United States and Canada. He presented in connection with it a resolution as a eubstlr tute for the one introduced by Congressman Towne. The sum of $75,000 is appropriated to pay the expenses of a commission to act jointly with a similar commission on the part of Great Britain for the determination of the true boundary line between the United States and Canada at all necessary points between the St. Lawrence river and Lake ot the Woods. SCHRADER'S CAMPAIGN. He Is Trying Hard to Pick That Postoffice Plum. Special to the Globe. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 16.—Mr. Ernest Schrader is making a strong effort to secure the appointment as postmaster at St. Paul. He has seen the postmaster general and had a satisfactory reception. Reinforced by a let- , ter from E. V. Smalley, he called at the White house today to further urge his own selection. He learned while at the department ' that the papers in the case were with .the . president, and that If he desired to strengthen his candidacy it must be at the executive • mansion. The solution of the perplexing problem Is no nearer today than It -was a week ago.
