1t fs difficult to see how there could pos
sibly exist sentiment in any way adverse
to the establishing and the equipment and
use Of sufficient number of properly-lo-
Gated public Fairgrounds. Washington Is
exceedingly rich In parks-beautiful
stretches Of emerald sward shaded here
and there with magnificent trees-but of
parks that may be used freely by playful
boys and girls there IL remarkable lack
That smoothly sodded lawns and carefully
trimmed trees are essential to maintain
this city's high esthetio standard will not
be doubted. but that they take the places
Of reservations on which the exuberant
youngsters may have full swing in harm
less amusements cannot be contended for
an instant. What is needed here now is a
system Of Fairgrounds In which the chill
dren. and even some who are too large to
be known as children, shall have ample op-
portunites to indulge in healthful athletic
exercises. As things now are, there Is
only one place within the city limits. ex-
cept on vacant lots. where boys may play
baseball. 1t Is not enough that portion
Of the Monument grounds should be set
apart for this purpose, for SO far as a very
large proportion of the small boys are
concerned the Monument grounds might
as well be In Baltimore. Every section Of
the city should have its public playground
There would be actual economy in the es-
tablsment Of such resorts, for the boy
who is engaged In expanding his lungs
and Increasing his muscular powers by de-
votion to juvenile athletics is not likely to
find his way into our reformatory or penal
Institutions OF course such grounds would
need careful superintendent and it would
be the duty of the authorities to render
impossible the repeated presence of i'm
proper characters. No better Investment
of public money could be made than in the
establishment of half dozen public play
grounds.

Chicago, April 3.-Reports from every
point of Importance in Illinois indicated
that rain that was general throughout
the state fell all day yesterday. At
some points the rain had begun the
night before, thus securing good start
in its mission to "break the drouth."
The result of this steady donwpour, last
ing from "a to Sc hours, has been, to use
the idlom of the crop correspondent "to
make the farmers jubilant."
At Bloomington and other points there
has been no rain of any consequence for
six months and the spring seeding had
begun in most lnauspicious circum-
stances. The ground was very dry and
dusty. The rain has put an end to this
trouble and has given all crops good
start. The excellent condition for plow-
ing for corn has also been put in. The
rain was worth thousands of dollars to
the farmers of this state.
Topeka.-Kansas has been we'll soaked,
especially in the central and eastern por.
tions. Good rains have fallen as far
west as Phillipsburg, Sterling and Cald-
we'll, the rains being very warm.
The fruit buds are in very critical
condition and freeze can but injure
the crop, especially peaches and apri'
cots. Farmers are we'll along with Their
spring work, and tho soil is in excellent
condition.

A CRITICAL SITUATION.
Foreign Complications In Venezuela
May Involve Great Britain ana
the United states.

Washington, April 3.-The secretary of
state is much concerned by the Vene-
zuelan problem. The British ultimatum
delivered to Nicaragua is not source of
political apprehension, for it is not now
believed that the British will take action
| in tko way-os eequiring territory in thst
direction or jeopardize the property OF
Americans in Nicaragua by q lombard
ment in their efforts to collect the in
demnity demanded from Nicaragua.
These are the two moves that might
cause the United States to interfere.
But in the case of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute there is much graver
cause for apprehension. 1t appears that
our ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, has not
succeeded in inducing the British govern.
ment to give heed to the request submit.
ted by him at the direction of congress
that the boundary dispute be submitted
to arbitration. The British are profuse
in their declarations of willingness to
Schoombsrg line, but in the view of the
state department this Is a pure evasion
of the real issue, for there never has beer
any reasonable assertion of British
right to this territory, and 1t is territory
lying east of this line that forms the
substance of the contention.
The situation is believed to be alarm
ing, as armed bodies of British and vene
zuelans are pressing each other closely il
the disputed territory aud there may
be hostile clash at any moment.
The administration has been consider
ing the course to be pursued in such case
and it is entirely probable that if th'
British persist in bringing about such I
collision by their failure to hear the re
peated warnings and requests of th
United States to submit the matter to ar
bitration then the United States will fee
obliged to follow the moral aid it ha
given to Venezuela in this matter b,
more substantial assistance:

Peace Treaty with Guatemala Signed
Trouble in store for BarriOs.

City of Mexico, April 3.-The press

was informed that war could not be
averted if the presidents intended mes

conferences between the two governments
followed to no avail. Yesterday morning

claims and sign the treaty, which was
done at 10 o'clock.
New York.-A special dispatch to the
World from Guatemala says: In conse-

hard work to sustain itself. He will ask,
on the presentation of the terms of settle
ment to the national assembly, that vote
of confidence be passed.

Great Guns.

Baltimore, April 3.-Captain Mors-

in port, visited Fort McHenry yesterday
and exhibited to the soldiers u new Ger
man rifle with which he did remarkable
shooting. The rifle is one of the first
made by the German COVE tnment from
brand new inventions of Mercer, the great
German tire-arm inventor. In appearance
it is something like the KragJorgensen
military rifle now being adopted by the
United States army, but for shooting it
eclipses anything yet made. 1t is of 32-
caliber, and the barrel is made of three
tubes, one inside the other, on the plan of
the Krupp gun. The interior tube is
rifed and of hard tempered steel The
powder used is smokeless.
Fired along at the height Of the shoul-
der, the bullet will 60 nearly two miles

yards it would pierce the bodies of seven
men placed one behind the other. The
powder is nitro-glycerine explosive,

may in some measure restore to the plant
the vigor which seems to be lacking.
