Rebuke for the London Press.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The attitude of the
English newspapers towards the visit of
Prime Henry of Prussia to the United
States has called out a rebuke from the
Westminster Gazette, which cautions the
responsible papers against a continuance
of a policy whereby Great Britain is placed
in the awkward position of being DESTROYS

the United States, while putting in a claim
for gratitude on her own account on the
score of past favors. at is not dignifed

CONGRESS OF H
Educational Value of Play and Kin
d~ergartens Discussed.

|. WASHINGTON. Feb. Estate reports
were presented at the national congress OF
mothers this morning. This afternoon the
delegates paid a visit to the White House
and congressional library and later in the
day attended a reception given by Mrs.
John c. r. Henderson.
There was a large attendance at the meet
ing Of the congress this morning. when
topics relating TO the educational value
of play and -kindergartens was discussed by
women identified with that line of work.
Mrs. Mary Page, of the Chicago kinder
garten Institute. took advanced grounds on
the general question of the educational
value of play. She said in part: The
function of play is that il is the child's
whole life. 1t is a necessity TO the very
continuance of life itself. 1t is the key TO
the nascent periods in child life. Forty
per cent. Of the idiots are lifted from a
condition of helplessness by right physical
training to the condition OF productive
members Of society. We need TO realize
that motor activity is the basis of intel
lectual development Games are a higher
development of play: they have the ele-
ments of organization in them, are gov
erned by simple laws. Games are OF great
Importance because they make for use OF
leisure time; they make the habits OF life:
they vitality assist in the direction of the
will. They demand justice, honor, right,
social relationships-the training Of the
moral nature. Play life should obtain In
schools as we'll as in kindergartens."

MADE GOOD MARKS.
NOtre Danes Athletes in the Big
Track Meet at Washington.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 26.-Notre
Danes victorious athletes have returned
from Georgetown, and were given a rousing
reception by the students. The Notre
Dame team was heralded in the Washing
ton papers before the meet as the fastest
team in the West. and it was pitted against
the Cornell University team, recognized as
one of the leaders among the Eastern re-
lay runners. Cornell was expected to win;
but Notre Danes runners literally ran
away from the IthacanS, winning by sixty
yards in 2:3S 1-5 for the three-quarters of
a mile, each man running $50 yards. This
was the best time made by any team at
the meet. Georgetown beat Pennsylvania
in 2:3S 3-5.
In the half mile Uffendell won easily in
2:O9 2-5. In the ffty-yard dash Staples ran
third TO Duffy and Seisse, two of the fast
est sprinters in the East. These were the
only contests in which Notre Dame men
were entered.
The students are now anxious to have
the same team sent to Pennsylvania Uni
versity's big relay races. which are to be
held on the last Saturday of April. The
question will come up at the next meeting
of the faculty board.

GIFT TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
Six Thousand Volumes, the "T'u shu
Chi Ch'eng," Valued mt $1,000.
York Evening Post


The State Department has notified Presi-
dent Butler Of Columbia University Of the
receipt of a dispatch from Minister Conger
at Picking, sent under date OF Jan. 2, giving
full information as 10 the gift OF books and
other material TO illustrate the instruction
in Chinese subjects to be undertaken on the
new Dean Lung foundation. II appears that

versity is known as the "Tu Shu Chi
Ch'eng.' II is the most comprehensive col
lection OF books that has been made in
China. The collection consists OF over 5000
volumes. divided into thirty-two heads or
classes, and treats of every subject known
TO Chinese literature. IL is a complete col
lection Of ancient and modern works IN
which all facts regarding China are record
ed and classified, all sources OF Information
indicated, and all authorities cited and dis
cussed. The work was originally under
taken by a commission OF eminent Chinese
scholars appointed by Emperor kang Hsi.
who reigned from 1862 TO 1723.
From the scientific point OF view. the gift
is invaluable, as IL puts at the disposal OF
American students material not heretofore
accessible to them. The monetary value OF
the collection Is at 10000 taels, OF
about 5000. It Is understood that the coll
lection is now being prepared for shipment
by the vicerOy at Nanking Liu Kun-i.
In transmitting this information. Minister
Conger added: The possession OF this col
lection by Columbia will add much 20 the
prestige OF that institution and prove an in
valuable adjunct TO the new department
Its presentation at this time and the inter-
est manifested by the officials in the mat
ter, are indications OF the friendly attitude
Of the Chinese toward the United States"

hOGRIEVER HAS SIGNED
HE WILL AGAIN CHASE FLIES IN
HOOsIER RIGHT GARDEN.
indianapolis Team Is Now Complete
A Solution to National Problem
That May Come About.

The quietness that has been prevalent
about Hoosier headquarters for the last
week or so was broken yesterday when
Manager Watkins received the signed con-
tract of George Hogriever TO again play
with indianapolis the coming season. Hog
riever has been wearing an indianapolis
uniform for so many seasons he has been
regarded as a fixture by many of the sup
porters Of the game. While he did not do
his best work last season, Manager Watkins
has faith in him and believes that the erst-
while right field scrapper will have a good
year this season and will again hit in his
old-time form.
The public is now familiar with nearly
all the men that are under contract TO rep
resent Indianapolis in the American Asso-
citation in the fight for the 1902 bunting.
The name of the new first baseman is about
the only one that is being withheld that the
fans are really anxious to know. His name
may be announced within a few days.

BRUSH Is SAVING WOOD.
He Has Nothing to Say Regarding
Probable Outcome of War.

John T. Brush was in a jovial humor yes
terday, but he said nothing new has come
out in the baseball war to afford him great
pleasure. He is resting on his oars and
awaiting developments. The court may de-
eide the injunction suit before long, and
that may settle the National League
his side of the National League affair will
not wait to see just what the court will do
in the matter. The time is drawing near
for action and something is sure to hap
pen within the next fortnight.
Brush, Freedman, Soden and Robson are
still closely allied, but there is a humorous
side to the SDalding faction of the big
league. Spalding has claimed that Freed
man is out Of the League and intimates
that Brush had better bid adieu TO his old
comrades. Since there has been talk of
Brush and Freedman becoming identified
with the American League John 1. Rogers
has made the declaration that the League
is still intact and that neither faction can
divorce itself from the other. Spaldlng
says one thing and Rogers says exactly
the opposite, and still Brush and his men
are going ahead quietly doing nothing az
far as the public is concerned.
To baseball men the only solution of the
problem is for Brush and Freedman to be-
come allied with the American League.
This can be brought about by Cleveland
and Washington or Baltimore, more prob
ably the latter, being bought out and max
ing room for the admission of Cincinnati
and New York. Robson would be taken
care of by combining his St. Louis Ma
tional club with the new American club
in that city, and the same could be done In
Boston. Then where would Spalding and
his supporters be? They would not nave a
chance to place powder in the wood to be
burned under the National League fire, for
they would be out in the cold. Pittsburg
would be the only city left of any conse-
qUence, and that might be procured later.
Ii it were to be taken in it is hardly likely
that Dreyfus would have the club. This
solution OF the war is only problematical,
but it will bear watching.

AN INSPIRED STATEMENT.
Evidence that the Kaiser Is Pleased
over His Brothers Reception.

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-The details of the
movements of Prince Henry and the cour-
tesies shown him in the United States con-
tinue TO be followed here with extraor-
binary interest, and the pleasure of EN-
peror William at the reception rendered
his brother has been freely expressed to
members of the royal household. In Of
fetal circles it is considered the Emperor
has personally accomplished, by sending
Prince Henry to the United states. what
it would have taken years to do otherwise.
An inspired statement has been published
by the German press with double leads. 1t
says: The highest political circles are
immensely pleased at the excellent course,
Up to the present time, of Prince HenryS
visit. The conviction is entertained that
these festive days will substantially con-
tribute toward rendering the relations OF
the two countries permanently friendly,
and especial delight is expressed at the
cordiality of the personal intercourse be-
tween President Roosevelt and Prince
Henry"
Prominent merchants. sociologists and
educators OF Germany will be among the
members of the proposed American-German
league for the preservation and promotion
of mutual understanding and friendly re-
latiOns between Germany and the United
States, for the formation of which steps
nave already been taken. The principal
mission of the association will be TO foster
the expansion of commercial relations be-
tween Germany and the United States and
thus to counterfeit the existing misunder-
standings between the two countries.
At a meeting of the Kiel Yacht Club,
held to-day, at which Admiral Won enden
Bibran, chief Of the Imperial Marine Cabi-
net, represented Emperor William, it was
decided to increase the number and value
of the racing trophies to be competed for
at the Kiel regatta next summer. The
yachts booked to participate in the APP
preaching regatta already number $50, as
against lT9 yachts in the regatta that was
held last year.

blesses the world. Yet we do not let our
hearts forecast a complete millennium; We
do not look forward TO the day when all
men will stand beside Ben Adhem in the
front line or expect ever to read upon every
tombstone that wondrOus epitaph, / loved
my fellow-man.' We do count, however,
on the ultimate establishment OF a broad
and universal commercial reciprocity. We
do forecast the day when the open door
shall Hospitality invite in all lands; when
the gates of trade shall everywhere swing
inward as well as outward. So also VIC
cherish firm hope that time Will bring uni
versal recognition that territorial aggran-
diZement is in no degree a necessary &C
compartment OF national development.
When these vital truths are brought TO the
heart of all the nations then will amity
spread its blessed wings over all the earth,
good will inspire the acts of every govern
ment and the angel of peace abide among
the peoples Of the whole world"
The dinner was concluded at n:45 p. m,
and the prince Immediately left, accom-
panied by his suite. He was very heartily
cheered as he went out Of the b~anqueting
room.

NEW YORK, Feb. %. - Rear Admiral
Evans denied to-day that he had had any
friction or trouble with the local cavalry
men detailed as honorary escort to Prince
Henry. He said:
II have heard with regret a story that 1
had snubbed one OF the local cavalry squad
rons. The statement is incorrect. On the
contrary, the cavalry boys have done ex-
cellently, and we have all praised them.
Word was sent a few times when the
weather was bad that the police escort was
ample. but the spirit Of the notice was to
spare the boys from exposure. The sugges-
ton was made by Prince Henry, and l
c%oncurred in il. l wish you would say that
I greatly appreciate what the boys have
