HAS ADDED new PLEASURES
River View Opens lis Season Under
Promising Conditions.
Steamers w WereCrowded Wit II Patrons
of the Popular Resort Anxious TO
Renew Old Acquaintance.

Yesterday was the inaugural day OF River
View, the popular excursion resort, and,
judging from the large thr0nEs OF excur-
Eionists who. in spite of the cold and threat
enlng weather, went to the View, il has
lost none OF its old time popularity.
The fast steamer Samuel ] PentZ made
two trips leaving here at Ii a. NJ. and 8
p. M, and during the day nearly l, 500
persons crossed tie gang plank. While
IL was not ideal excursion weather. the
crowds were out for a good time and they
had Ii. For the afternoon trip every car
tothe wharf brought load OF eNCurslOnists
and when Tie steamer PentZ sailed it
looked as If sic was crowded TO her limit
but there was room on her for many more.
On the steamer and grounds Chris Arth
Jr.s fine orchestra rendered popular airs
IN manner 10 earn loud and frequent ap-
plause. The orchestra this year is far
superior Ia that OF previous years
The main attraction OF the View grounds
now is the big ciICte, which Capt. Randall
is having erected for the amusement of
the fun-loying people OF Washington DUR
ing the coming season. 1t is still in an
unfinished state, but drew the attention
OF the eNcursionlsts as soon as they landed.
The heavy timber work On the chute is so
far advanced As 10 show what ii Will be-
Ierchcd sixty feet in the air is a platform
capable Of holding about two hundred
people from this platform is an incline
36O feet long ending in lake, $50 feet
in length. 80 wide and three feet deep
The chute boats Will glide down this
Incline with the speed OF the wind
and striking the water viii bound
along like flat rock SKINNED over
water by small boy and not a drop
Of water comes into the boat. The boats
are taken back to the top OF tie incline
by an endless chain, but the Chuters are
taken up in an elevator, iow building.
All around the lake Is a platform, on
which VIII bc placed chairs for spectators
The unfinished chute was climbed over and
Inspected Toy many yesterday and all agreed
That II %ould be the newest kind Of fun.
The River View grounds are now at
ttIeir prettiest. The crowd was OH pleas
ure bent, for the roller coaster cars were
filled with laughing crowds Of young
people throughout the evening, the steam
carosSal was not allowed one minutes
rest, and the shooting alley, bowling
alley and shuttle boards were also kept
constantly in use.
This year the dining room will be run
OH both the American and European pla ns,
and if the dinners served yesterday are a
sample, The reputation of the View dining
room viii not suffer
The start for home was made at O'Clock
and shortly before the excursionists
were landed after a delightful day
Next Sunday the Lone Star Pleasure
Club will give an excursion 10 the View
and will have as usual very large at

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Two Local Teams Line Up In Lively
Contest.

very close and exciting game of ball
was played yesterday morning between
the Caldwell CraCkerjacks and Walshs
Wallpapers at Stagmeir's : bail ground, near
BladcnSburS.
These teams have been trying for some
time to arrange game, as a good deal of
rivalry has eXisteu between them. They
left the city yesterday morning under the
command Of Messrs. Stephen Cald we Ii and
Thomas WALSH, ST., in large tGlly-hu
provided for tie OCCASION ana as soon tie
pail grounds were reached play was COM
nenCcd ana the error column began 10 as
sune shape.
The score was so close throughout tie
entire game that the result was in doubt
until the last man was out. The defeat OF
the Wallpapers Is the first they fave suf-
fcred so fer, while the victory for the
Crackerj acks is tie first they have TO crow
over. 1he features of the game was the
daring base running of T. Walsh. sr., who
could teach the youngsters a trick or two
in snrinting. ana the handling of several
large and 'fIothy'' high balls by Right
fielder Caldwell.
The batting OF both teams was terrific
willie houors were about evenly divided
in tie error column.
The Wallpapers want another game with
the Cracker jacks, but the latter are about
as sore physically a the former re mentally
over losing the game, and they Will probably
have TO wair while before they are accom-
modated.

Tests Of Belligerency.
Jacksonville Citizeu.l

The tests usually applied in order to
determine whether insurgents are en-.
titled to belligerent rights are: The
existence Of de facto government Of
such character. and Of sufficient
population. and possessing such tangi.
BILE resources as entities it to be
ranked as nation; a reasonable Ca
pacity to discharge the functions of gov.
eminent; the command Of such mil.
itary force as will enable it to protect
itself and enforce its laws; the active
employment Of such military force in
accordance with the customs of war;
the maintenance of military courts;
of flags Of truce; the exchange of prison
ers; the commissioning of cruisers;
issue of letters of marque and re-
prisal; the maintenance of blockade by
the parent Government Of insurgent
ports against neutral commences; the
character of the treatment accorded to
prisoners of war by the parent State;
the sending or reception of ENJOYS to
or from foreign States. The existence
OF some or all of these elements is
usually considered by foreign States
as Of very persuasive character in de.
termining the question of belligerency.
Another essential requisite is: The
country in which people seek recogni-
ton as belligerents. must be contiguous
to that from which they seek such re.
cognition. For instance. the United
States Government could not consist.
emily accord such rights to a revolving
Chinese province having no seaport.
The principles of International law
require that recognition Of belliger-
ent rights by a foreign Government
must be fully warranted by the facts
and circumstances CT the case, Just as
a judgment Of court of justice must,
in order to be valid and binding, be
warranted by evidence pertinent to the
case at issue.
