Cincinnati, Jan. at is now probable
that the peace conference of the National

be held on January !. President Ban
Johnson. OF the American league yester-
day wired President Herman of the Gin

less the National league committee was
given full power to act all negotiations
would be broken off and no further action
taken toward a settlement of the baseball

AS the matter now stands. the Amer

the National league committee has full
power to act and If tflit assurance is not
given the war will continue.

An Owls Flight for Life.
From the Philadelphia Press.

While the Whaleback steamer Forest

Newfoundland banks an owl as white
as snow fell exhausted on the deck.
The owl made a desperate flight from
an iceberg to the ship. 1t was dead

without a great deal of trouble was
made prisoner.
The sailors were utterly astoniShed
at the arrival of the passenger. Some
one saw the peculiar object coming
laboriously through the air, making
a line fly for the whaleback. Away
off on the horizon line was a great
iceberg, which had worked it's way fur

When the berg" parted company
with the icefield of the far north it
probably carried with it the owl, which

was useless, a stretch of open sea
forming a barrier over which the bird
did not dare attempt flight. Like a
sensible owl, it held to the refuge in
sight, hoping for better one by and
by.
When the Britisher Forest Castle APP
peared on the horizon the bird made
it's one last dash for life. 1t was prob

such a long chase-a stern chase, too

The Rev. ]. d. Jordan, pastor of the
FIRST Baptist Church is bending every
effort to the work, and receives and
answers dozens or maybe hundreds of
letters daily. The people seem to be
very much in favor of the convention
in Savannah, and will come to this city
in great numbers.
Mr.. Jordan said yesterday that while
there was really nothing particularly
new to say about the coming conven-
ton, it was evident that it would be a
great and gratifying success. That the
correspondence he had already handled
indicated a splendid crowd and ne
was as busy as a man could be, as
surfing all who wrote that they would
find plenty of room and comforta bic
places.
