play ball. and will make a big howl when
they find them laid of. Therefore. good
fine should take the place Of the three days
lay-off.
1 believe the public enjoys plenty Of live
coaching from the lines. and would well
come the two-coach idea back. Poor games
are often livened up by original and lively
coaching, and the public must have almost
perfect ball to go away satisfied.
Since the inauguration Of the foul-etrike
rule and the developments Of the hit-and-
run game. base stealing Of the old typs
has nearly died out. To-day there are few
players who can steal a base in the old
way, for almost without exception the stol-
en- bases of to-day are originated in tho
hit-and-run game. The runner gets the sign
from the batter and runs with the pitch OF
the ball, but az 1t goes too wide the batter
does not attempt to strike at it, Thus the
runner gets what looks stolen base OF the
old variety, but had the bail come close
enough the batter would have tried to hit
1t safely and send the runner on to thiro.

Copyright Conditions in the
United States the Only Sub
ject Debated.
NEW TREATY MAY BE RESULT.
Americans Enjoy Protection in
Germany Which Germans Do
Not Have Under the Laws
Passed by Congress.

Berlin, March ls.-The Reichstag to-day
adopted the appropriation of $4,000 for the
st. Louis Worlds Fair being the first quota
of the $4,000 to be appropriated to defray
the expenses of Germany's exhibit at the
Fair
Doctor Mueller. Radical. pointed out that
great irritation prevails in the German art
industry and book trade regarding the copy
right conditions in the United States.
He asserted that the protection secured to
me art industry and book trade through
the treaty OF January 10. 1903. Is equivalent
dowsky- Wehner whether a special treaty
providing for the protection of exhibits like
those sent to the Paris exposition and those
to be sent to st. Louis existed.
Finally. Doctor Mueller asked II the Gov
eminent had taken steps with the United
States TO secure better protection for Ger
man literary and art products.
Secretary Won Posadowsky-W ehner replied
that 1t was doubtful in 1903 whether treaty
could be negotiated upon the basis of the
copyright act of 1891.

rotary added. American citizens enjoy the
same rights as Germans. but. according to

tations can occur in spite Of treaty prohibi-
items. That must be taken into the bar

am, however, willing to make the
matter the subject Of correspondence with
America. but cannot promise the latter
will change its legislation for the pur-
pose OF the exposition"
Doctor Mueller expressed satisfaction with
the Secretary's promise, but added:
Il do not agree with him regarding Chi

Secretary Won Observation-Disclosures later
In answer to a question regarding the steps
the Government intends to take at WASH

"our efrorts will be exer.ed in two differ

Although the retirement of Mr.. Tyner has
been decided upon. 1t is not likely that any
change In the office will be made for some

On account Of Mr. Tyners long service

taken in the investigation CT charges made
against his office. Forty-three years Of pub
