decision dsmissng the suit for injunction brought
by Boer representatives with a view to preventing

lutely no Jurisdiction to interfere The horses and
mules, the court said. bought in a neutral
territory. Judge Parlange continues:

BRITAIN AND THE PANAMA ROUTE.

London. April 13.-senor Gutierrez Ponce, the

preached the British Government in any way in

LONDON, Dec 29.-The Marquis Ito.
who is now in London. loses no oppor-

he left Japan he had no intention OF COM

The latter statement is undoubtedly
correct. for 81 is now learned that he
altered his plans while he was in the

quest from the japanese Government to

to bring imperial influence to bear on the
Australian Government TO agree to ex-
clude the japanese from the scope OF the

Lord Lansdowns az the Foreign Office yes

CHEVY CHASE HOUNDS MEET.
saturday Afternoon Sees the LnrE-
est Turnout of Many Years.

The Chevy Chase hounds held the larg-
est meet Saturday afternoon they have
had for many years. There we're over
forty in the saddle. and a large percentage
OF these were ladies; in fact, there were
more sidesaddles out than has ever before
been known in the history of this club.
This is all the more remarkable as the
day was far from an ideal one for hunt
ing. the ground being in the worst pos
sible condition, owing to the recent heavy
rains and hard freezes.
The meet was at the Tenleytown power
house at o'clock. and the hounds were
cast, after the usual fifteen minutes
grace, to the north, and carried the scent
in a direct line toward the Potomac River
until the reservoir was reached. when
they trailed along up the river for four r
five miles, leading tie field over fen e
after fence where. turning again. they
started In the direction of Chevy Chase,
finally killing on the outskirts OF Ton
leytown.
The field was in charge OF Mr.. Gist
Blair, acting master. Others who followed
were Miss Parrish. Miss Paulding, Miss
Bloomer. Miss Bell, Miss Field. Mrs. Glib
son. Miss Langhorn. Miss Mitchell, Baron
Grip. Mr.. Courtland H. Smith. NJ. +. II. OF
the Hampton Hounds: Mr.. G. Barkley

berg, Or. A A. snyder. Mr.. W. C.. Mar

Larcombe, Mr.. F, l.. Huidekoper, MIR.
Reginald Huidekoper.. Mr.. Chester Kerr.
Captain Langhorn. Mr.. r. c. Knox. aud
MIR. George Wetmore.
The next meet OF the hounds will be
held on New Year Day at the Chevy Chase
Club at II o'clock in the morning, when a
wild fox hunt will take place.
