Confidence Expressed But British
should he Wide Awake.
LONDON, Feb. addressing the
Huddersfeld Chamber of Commrce,
Hon. James Brice, a former president
of the Board of Trade and member Of
the Cabinet of Lord Rosebery, express
ed confidence in the outlook. He said
that the expansion of trade was not
transient despite the fact that owing
to the unsettled state of the currency,
the tariff and other questions of inter
national politics, the recovery of COM
merce with the United States follow
ing the recent presidential election had
not realized expectations. He believed
that the United States Senate would
yet ratify the arbitration treaty or
something approximating it. He said
that there was no occasion for despon-
dency, but at the same time, the mer-
chants of Great Britain ought to be
stir themselves for the purpose of de-
veloping foreign trade to the utmost
possible limit.

BASEBALL STORY.
Barracks Men Pleased to- Know
the Stars VIII Play.

Barracks Men Pleased To- Know
the Stars VIII Play.
One of the men who talked baseball
to an Advertiser reporter has request
ed that his name be not disclosed. 1t
will not be, and would not have been
under any circumstances. The man re-
grets that he committed his club in his
statements, and wishes to say that the
views were his own, though he had re-
ceived similar expressions from others.
The regiment player interviewed is one
of the seven practically listed in the
team for this season. He is also one
of the six Coast men recently enlisted
by Captain Coyne in Company E
thames at handD, most of whom will
play this year.
The question of the new ball-players
in the barracks has been town talk for
a month and is not a new matter.
Imputing professional qualifications to
the new men is perhaps an error on the
part of their critics. Professional ball
players usually want more than $50 a
month and soldiers uniform for their
talents. From all accounts, they are
first-class amateur players and will,
doubtless, put up strong games. AZ
any rate, the champion Stars, ever full
of nerve and enthusiasm, say they are
ready and willing to meet them, be
they amateurs or whatnot.
lieutenant in the barracks, who is
an enthusiast on baseball, said of the
whole matter yesterday: Il am glad
the question has come UP now, for it
will be settled before the season is at
hand. Reports have frequently come
up here from the town that the Stars
would make a kick against our new
men. If the matter had gone on and
a protest been made at the last moment,
why it might have ruined our team
and prevented us entering the season
at ALL
The Star club will be out Conrad
and Chris Willis this year. AS yet the
Regiments have not secured a pitcher.
1t is not likely that Woods will again
enter the box.

Mr. EDIToR:-From the report in the
Morning News OF the action taken by the
committees Of the Regular and Union
Republicans last night, a game Is in con.
temptation that should be broken up. II
has always been the custom to at least
give the voters chance to select their
nominees for officers, though mony times
the powers that be have changed the re-
suit Of the ballots cast.
This game must stop or else serious
trouble will result. The joint committees
have no right or power to select candidates
and try to force them down the voters
throat. All the people ask Is, that they be
given according to party custom and
laws, an opportunity to express their
choice at the primaries, and 1t shall be
done at once.
There are several suitable persons
spoken of for nearly every office In the
coming city election and the delay at Or
dering the primaries is causing serious
comment. So gentlemen put up Or shut
up and that p. ID. Q. REPUBLICAN.
