ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
San Diego Union: The speech which
Joseph Chamberlain delivered at Bir-
mingham last evening was peculiarly
significant. In a defense of the Sails
bury Administration he declared un-
equivocally that the policy of the pres
ent ministry was Ito maintain the
bonds of permanent unity with our
kinsmen across the Atlantic" and that
war itself would be cheaply purchased
If in great and noble cause the Stars
and Stripes and the Union Jack should
wave together over an Anglo Saxon al
lance" Such a sentiment coming
from such a source and at such a time
is we'll calculated to cause world wide
comment. 1t can be interpreted in only
one way. 1t means that Great Britain
proposes to stand squarely with the
United States in the war in which this
nation is now engaged In this coun-
try the words of Mr.. Chamberlain will
cause profound satisfaction. Not so
on the continent of Europe. At time
when Austria and one or more of the
Powers are notorously desirous of aid
ing Spain, and when rumors of inter-
vention between the latter country and
the United States are circulated daily,
the utterance of Secretary Chamber
lain comes as plain notification to
Americas secret opponents that if they
push matters to extremes they will find
Great Britain on the side of the United
States. This is the way Mr.. Chamber
lain's speech will be interpreted in the
United States, and doubtless he in
tended it to be so construed at Vienna

Mr.. Reynolds was nearly 81 years of age.
The honorable and Christian life which
he followed won for him the respect and
confidence of all, and by his hosts of
trends he was held in the highest regard.
He was born in the state of Vermont on
March Il, 1894, and moved TO Johnstown,
Wis, in the fall of 1850. where he resided
for about twenty-eight years. leaving for
Kansas in 1873 with his family, settling

NEW SITE SELECTED
Ball Park Will be Nine Blocks
South on Main.
TO BE OPENED IN APRIL
Cincinnati Reds Will Open
the Season.

The new ball grounds and the athletic
park will not be located on North EN-
poria avenue as was at first intended. In
order to have a plot of ground large
enough on which to play ball it was found
necessary to close Fourteenth street. The
city council granted Mr.. Alexander this
privilege, but as a number of the resi-
dents living contiguous to the grounds
objected to the street being closed, the
council revoked the privilege, with the
consent of Mr.. Alexander, he having eX-
pressed himself as not wanting to antag-
onize any one. Mr.. Alexander is not one
to be discouraged nor to give up by hav-
ing a few obstacles plased in his way. lie
Immediately secured a larger ground,
which is five or six blocks nearer the CEN
ter of town and is considered by every
one to be a much more adaptable place
for ball playing The new grounds will be
on what is known as Lees park, which
is located between Main, Water. Gilbert
and Morris streets. The new grounds are
thirty feet wider than the one which was
first selected. The dimensions are 800 by
$50 feet. Half of the post holes were dug
yesterday and the posts put in place.
Work will progress all the more rapidly
on account of the time which was lost in
putting in posts on the North Emporia
avenue grounds. Mr.. Alexander is author
ity for the statement that everything win
be in readiness within two weeks and that
a game will be in progress before the first
Of April
The grounds will be formally opened by
the celebrated Cincinnati Red Stockings,
of the National league. who will come
here from their spring practice in Texas.
The date has not yet been decided upon
but it Will be the first week in April. Mr..
Alexander may know tomorrow just
what day they win be here.
Negotiations are now being made with
the Kansas City Blues for two games.
When the Cincinnatis come special trains
will be run here from Hutchinson, New
ton. Winfield and Wellington. Within the
week the new team will be organized. Sew
eral of the players who will be signed are
already here. Mr.. Alexander has large
number to choose from, and should any
of them be too slow their places will be
filled Immediately with men who can fill
the bill. This will be the first paid team
Wichita has had since 'SS.

EXPERT PATTERSON'S REPORT
Commissioners Should be Compelled
10

J. Giles Smith, chairman of the council
finance committee, with the city and
county attorneys, called on the county
commissioners in regard to the difference
of accounts between the city and county.
but as before no settlement was effected.
The commissioners have said that they
will pay nothing of the $4,000 unless I'M
der judgment secured from the district
court.
prominent citizen and business man
of North Main street, speaking Of the
matter yesterday said:
The county owes the city. Mr.. Guth-
rie's report shows it and so does the -
port of Mr.. Patterson. 1 understand that
the report of Mr.. Patterson shows more
due the city than the report of Mr.. Guth-
rie. The commissioners refuse to allow
the report of Mr.. Patterson in regard to
this matter made public. Now, the tax
payers put up the money that went to pay
Mr.. Patterson for his work and they have
a right to see that report The city Off
Gals can mandamus the commissioners to
produce the report and they ought to do
it. There is no question that the money
is due the city from the county and it
ought to be paid without any further
qubbling The commissioners say that
the shortage is due to the shortage of
Doran and that the city officials were neg
lgent in asking for reports. Mr.. Guthrie
in his interview published in the Eagle
Tuesday shows the falIacy Of that argu-
ment. He says that the shortage of the
ex-county treasurer with Sedgwck county
even according to Expert PattersOn's re-
port. occurred in the first two years Of
Treasurer Doran's term and was county
funds ard not city funds. and the entire
differences between the city and county
as claimed by the city, have arisen since
October l, 1894.
Mr. Guthrie also says that October
1894. being the first annual settlement at
which the city was charged with its pro
portion Of delinquent or unpaid taxes
October. 1898. would be the first date al
which the county gave the city any credit
on account OF redemption and assign
ments of delinquent taxes and it was in
the accounts Of October, 1895. that the
larger part Of the errors were made in
the accounts with the city Of Wichita.
The examination OF the accounts by the
city was commenced in August, 1895, and
that claim was filed in February. 1857.
This scarcely looks like negligence"

had tried 1t on one or two other occasions
and every time it had been done the Dem
ocrats had always had every Democratic
voter al the primaries and had won and
the Pops held the bag.
Judge Hatton made a motion seconded
by Chief Campbell that the management
of the campaign be left to the different
ward committeeman. Mr.. Arnold pro-
tested to this measure vigorously, and
made an eloquent speech, but he lost.
The motion was carried, all voting aye
but Arnold.
The subject of finances came up for a
hearing but nothing was done in regard
to raising the funds necessary to carry
on the campaign.
J. Giles Smith, councilman from the
Third ward, so the Pops seem to think,
has worked a clever scheme on them. He
got two or three of the Pops in the Third
ward together and got them to endorse
him for reelection. This they did. 1t
is only another Illustration of where the
Democrats make playthings of the Pops.
The bosses in the Third ward have al
ready decided upon who they will put
on the petition for school board but this
they would not divulge last night. 1t was
fixed up at the same time that the Smith
deal went through, but there is some
chance for the man to balk is the reason
his name was not given.
At the Democratic meeting which was
held in the afternoon it was decided that
each ward committeeman do all in his
power to get out all of the men and wo-
men they could, whom it was certain
would vote their ticket, and have them
register. The committeeman were also
instructed to call the ward primaries to
nominate men for the various places. This
will likely be changed now that the Pops
have concluded to petition.
The meeting adjourned to meet in Spen-
