cling as the riddle Of "ALihH r. 'A"lhN'
the sphinx shoot out of the tangle Of way
ing arms and legs, and the leather hinged
umpire yells, "Strikel' with monotonous
regularity. Carter has played OF the nine
three seasons-two as pitcher and one as
first basenan and catcher. He halls from
Brooklyn, where he prepared at theP Poly
technic school. He is u years old, weighs
100 pounds and is 6 feet 4 inches tall.
Carter is in great demand among profess
siona teams, but the young pitcher says
he will never play baseball for money.
John G.. Groenway, the crack Yale
catcher, is another altitudinous athlete.
He has caught Carter for two years. He
is perhaps better known rs the Yale foot
bel team end rush than asa catcher. The
marked improvement in his batting is the
surprising feature Of his work. He came
from Phillips academy, Andovcr, where
he played two years. He is 23 years old,
weighs III pounds and is 6 feet / inch
tall. His homo is in Hot Springs, Ark.
In Hale's first game against tho New
Yorks Carter struck out three men and
was only touched up for nine hits. The
Yale men made 10 base hits, and the score
was Z to 5 i'm favor OF the New Yorks. In
the second game against the New Iorks
Yale made n much poorer showing.

He Thinks Peace Between China and Japan
VIII l,t. Permanent

WAsHINGroN, Inly a. Ez sccIetary Of
State John w Foster arrived IN Washing
ton Yesterday from Ctiha, whore Us
has tafen cpnspicuous part n the diplo-
matte branch OF the China-Japan conflict.
lie is fatigucd with his long Journey, but
otherwise is in vigorous health, notwith-
standing the hardships incident to the
close 81 the eastern war;
In answer to inquiries Mr. Foster made
q statement in which he said that there
were good reasons TO expect permanent
peace between Japan and China as the
result Of the treaty Of SimonoselSi. The
terms demanded by Japan may, he said,
under the circumstances, be regarded rs
reasonable, especially in view of the re-
procession Of the Liao Tung peninsula.
The treaty has been observed and carried
out by China with scrupulously good faith.
Her conduct in this respect has created a
very favorable impression in Japan.
The loan just concluded through Rus
sian influence viii enable China to pav
the first two installments OF the indem.
nifty. These two installmcnts cover half
OF the indemnity, and the balance, extend
ing over six years, will be n comparative
ly easy burden for the Chinese govern
ment if any skill is shown in the manage
ment Of the imperial revenues. The coun-
try has great resources, and has never yet
failed in its financial management Hence
the peace concluded at SimonoseH is not
likely TO be broken on account Of the
shortcomings Of China. If d rupture oc-
ours, it is more likely to be brought about
by the intermoddlfng of the European
powers.
Being asked why he declined the invi-
tation to remain in China as the adviser
Of the government, Mr.. Foster said that
he had spent the greater portion Of the
past 20 years in foreign lands, and that,
while his residence abroad had been gener-
ally a pleasant one, he had found no coun-
try equal to his own native land, and he
desired to spend the rest of his days in his
own country and his own home. He CON
fessed that if the invitation had come fiyo
or ten years earlier he would probably not
have declined it,

LONDON, July 9.-The following note
was addressed by tho New York World
correspondent to Sir Francis Knolleys, pri-
vate secretary to the Prince Of Wales, last
Friday when the apparently easy victory
OF the Britannia over Valkyrie III seemed
to indicate that the Britannia after all is
really the representative English yacht:
The New York World trusts that the
great interest in the United States as to
the coming contest for the Americas cup
will be deemed a sufficient excuse for ask
ing of his royal highness, the Prince Of
Wales, whether there is any truth in the
statement widely published there that he
has contemplated a visit to tho United
States for this contest, and also, in view
Of the success of the Britannia this season
and her defeat Of Valzyrie yesterday
whether there is any foundation for the
suggestion that his royal highness might
send the Britannia as the challenger for
the America S cup should she maintain her
superiority in the remaining races"
To this Sir Francis has sent the follow
ing courteous reply:
"l have submitted your letter to the
Prince of Wales. beg to inform you that
his royal highness regrets that he will be
unable TO pay visit to the United States,
and that l believe that it is settled that
