RANsoMs PACIFIC REMARKS.
The New Minister to Mexico Makes
Very Friendly speech.

~ CAS EBttths
Washington, April 2e--The state depart
ment has made public the remarks ex-
changed between Minister Ransom and
President Diaz. when the former present
ed his credentials recently. Mr. Ransom
was fresh from the atmosphere Of the
state department and apparently thor
oughly imbued with the policy Of this
government toward other republics.
Among other things, the minister de-
clared that "the relations existing between
the two great republics, divided by a
conventional line extending. across the
continent from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Pacific ocean, must ever be sub
ject of serious interest to every patriotic
citizen of both countries No thoughtful
observer can cross the boundary and not
realize that every consideration of inter-
est, every obligation of duty, and every
sentiment of patriotism enjoins peace and
amity as the policy-I had almost said
as the law-between them"
THE United States and Mexico recog-
nize that justice between nations, as be-
tween individuals, is the mother of peace
and the first law of human happiness
"They regard national justice as ma
tional honor-the greater the power OF the
nation, the greater its sense of Justice
They both know that national discords
have been the most fruitful sources of
public calamity, that national friendships
have been almost universally productive
of public and personal welfare.
To-day peace Is the interest and duty
of all nations, but to the United States
and to MeKico-bound I'm territory to-
gether by the indissoluble laws of nature
and united by the ties Of commerce, by
the sympathies of popular government
and by the time honored experiences of
respect--eznity and harmony, promise the
most substantial benefcence"
After paying a tribute 10 Mexicos i'm
proving commercial condition. and referr-
ing to Minister Grays death, Mr. Ransom
delivered his credentials. President Diaz
replied with reciprocal declarations of
amity and admiration

OSCAR WILDE AGAIN IN COURT.
His Hair Cut Short and He Looks
CarewOrn and Anxious.

London, April 26.-The trial Of oscar
Wilde and Alfred Taylor for unnatural
crimes began I'm the central criminal
court, Old Bailey, to-day. Charles Parker
and other Witnesses who testified at the
preliminary hearings were called to the
stand and repeated the stories they had
previously told. Wilde looked careworn
and anxious, and was much thinner than
usual. The fact that he had his hair cut
short added to his attenuated appearance.
Taylor maintained his air of uncOncern.
Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. The
opening speech of the counsel for the pros
ecution was a repetition Of his previous
arguments. The evidence given by Parker
was vastly more disgusting than the tes-
timony he gave at the hearing in the New
street police court. Upon cross examina-
ton he swoTe that Wood and Allen had
received $40 blackmail from gentlemen
with whom they were guilty Of niscon-
duct in the gentlemens lodgings, and that
he himself had received $50 from the same
person for the same reason.

cAyLoR's BALL GOSSIP.
Features Of q Very Close and Exciting Pen
,nant Race.

| Not for years has the race Tor the pen
J nant in the National league been so Close
and exciting among SO many clubs IN niiu-
season. On July II there was less tnan
| two games difference between the hrse
and sixth clubs, while the New Yorks, In
ninth position, despite their great handl-
cap of injured players, were bat 81 games
behind the leaders. Only one club OF the
~ on that date was above the 900 per cent
mark, and seven were In the five hundreds.
It Is such a race which has brought base
hall excitement to its highest pitch
throughout the League circuit. That the
excitement of the race Ii not confined to
spectators, but dominates the players also,
Is shown almost every day by reports OF
unusual trouble with umpires and by
"scrap" now and then between tho MEM
beers of contending mines. One OF these
unfortunate affairs occurred In Chicago
during the visit Of the New York team.
pitcher Clarke and Uncle Arson had a
contention during the second game of the
series. The Chicago chief was coaching
from the limo near first, while Chicago
nlayers were on first and second bases.
Arson claimed that the ball in use was
ripped and asked for an investigation. In
stead of throwing the ball to the umpire,
Clarke thoughtlessly tossed 1t toward An
son for the purpose of letting the latter
SEQ for himself Then the astute veteran
turned a neat trick. Instead of catching
the ball, he pretended to be surprised and
lodged. The ball relied away, and the
base runners were permitted by the UNI
pire to move up. One Of them afterward
scored tho winning run. From that in
cident grew the report that Clarke had
thrown the ball at Arson in a fit of rage.
The fit of rage came after the trick, and
when the game ended New York's wrothy
