Art Loan Exhibition.

On acco unit of the interest which the art
loan exhibition at the old Corcoran CAL
lery of Art has aroused, and especially
since it was announced by the manage
ment that the funds raised by 1t would be
turned over for the care of wounded SOL
diers in the impending battles in Cuba be-
tween United States troops and SPAIN
forces. it has been decided to continue the
exhibition for another week. 1t was the
Intention to close the exhibition last night
with a promenade concert. but the success
that attended the closing effort inspired
the management to reverse it's decision. A
large crowd was in attendance last night.
and the many beautiful works of art came
IN for large share OF praise and atten-
ton. The Marine Band confined itself al
most entirely to patriotic airs, and several
times aroused enthusiasm to a high pitch
especially when THE Star Spangied Ban
ner" and Dixie" were played. The excel
lence of the exhibition, taken in conjunc-
ton with the laucable object for which 1t
IS now being held. should induce patriotic
citizens to come forward for the remainder
OF this week in most hearty support of it.

treaty or Peace Signed At PARIS.

their signatures on two copies of the
treaty, one copy being for the archives.
The document was prepared by Secre-
tary Moore in behalf of the United
States commission, and by Senior Viii
larutia for Spain on account of the
continued illness of Secretary Ojeda
OF the Spanish commission. Each
copy contained the English and Span
ish texts of the treaty in parallel col
umns. The wording had been ap.
proved previously by the commissions
without joint meeting, so there was
no controversy on this subject.
The signing Of the treaty would
have afforded subject for great his
torical painting. The party gathered
about the table in the stately chamber
of the foreign Office was impressive in
itself, while the fact that sense of
the momentousness of the issues which
the act decided was deeply felt by all
the participants gave an impressive
and solemn tone to the scene. Around
the great mahogany table sat the ten
arbiters of the destinies of an old and
young nation. Behind them wore
numerous attaches of the commissions.
To the Americans it was happy end
ing of the war; to the Spaniards it was
plainly bitter tragedy, none the less
painful because long foreseen. They
sat silently, as though almost crushed,
and none could withhold sympathy
from Senor Montero Rios, who, COM
ing from his bed, was bundled in great
overcoat, though logs were burning in
the fireplace nearby.
Arthur Ferguson then proceeded to
read first the English and after that
the Spanish version of the treaty.
This finished, the two copies were
passed around the table, the commits
sioners signing in the order of their
rank, as follows: VIM. r. Day, Sena-
tor Cushman X. Davis, Senator VIM.
P. Frye, Whitelaw Reid, Senator
George Gray, Senior Montero Rios,
Senior Abarzuza, Senior Garcina, Senor
Villarutia, Gen. Cerero y'Saons.

The supreme conflict of the nations
in the twentieth century is to be one
of trade. observes the New York Mail
and Express. A people incapable OF
keeping pace with the new era OF com
mercial expansion and colonial gov
ernment must sink steadily in influ
ence. Spain has lost her colonies,
and her commercial Importance has
dwindled vastly in consequences.
France has displayed the limit OF her
colonial aptness in Madagascar, and
it is SO discouraging as to promise
little of lasting value in either Cen
trail Africa or Southern China, when
compared with the accomplishment OF
other powers. Italy's fiasco in East
Africa, in her Abyssinian ambition,
dealt death blow to her foreign pros
poets. In the similarity which ex-
isted in the intellectual influences
governing the early literature OF
France, Italy. Spain and Portugal is
found the root of deterioration which
these nations experience in common
today. Present decadence runs not in
a national stream merely, but in g
current which is Latin, and, therefore,
ALIEN bracing in Southern Europe.

errors. nine by the New Yorks and six by
the Washingtons, to say nothing of un-
scorable blunders, made the game at the
Polo Grounds today something of a nov
city. The manner in which New York
supported the excellent pitching of Do
heny during the early stages of the game
was of such a discouIaging nature that
the cranks believed that a defeat was in
eyitable. But when the visitors did their
worst the final result did not remain long
in doubt
Mercer's pitching, which created the i'm
preston that he was either saving his
arm or had lost his former effectiveness,
was largely responsible for the New
Yorks' triumph. He had no speed at all,
no curves to speak of and he was as wild
as an inhabitant of Borneo. He persist
emily tried to use high ball over the in
side corner of the plate, and this plan of
action was fatal because of his inability
to control the sphere.
The Washingtons made two runs in the
first inning. With one out, Selbach
reached second on Hartman's wild throw,
and landed at third on McHale's out,
Doyle received base on balls and when
Joyce muffed thrown ball from Doheny.
Selbach scored, and Doyle reached third.
whence he counted on Davis's tumble
Again in the third. the visitors got two
more tallies. Selbach took two bases
on muff by Gleason, and McHale was
hit by pitched ball. Hartman muffed
Gradys throw and Selbach was safe at
third. Doyle was out, but on Farrell's S
scratch. Washington's left fielder scored.
Then McHale scored on a passed ball and
the score was 4 to o. Mercer was eff
fective with his "lobbing' up to the
fourth inning, when the New Yorks made
five runs AMI took the lead. Davis be-
gan the fun with a base on balls, Glea-
son singled and four balls to Hartman,

filed the bases.
Rietz gathered in Wilmot's grounder,
and a brilliant double-play resulted, on
| which Davis crossed the plate. Then af-
ter Grady received four balls, Doheny
tapped the ball to Wrigley and it looked
like a cinched third out, but a low throw
to Doyle let Gleason score. Van Haltren
