Marion to Lose E..rcrIs..

South Bend, Ind, Nov. %. - The
baseball doom of Marion has been
sounded, and there is not the slight
es; chance of that city retaining its
franchise in the Central league after
Jan. 1. William a. Duggan, the mag

soon go to Springfield. o., to confer
with the baseball men who are work

city, and promised, On behalf of the
circuit committee, to place the town
on the Central league map.

PARK FOR GEORGETOWN.
Favorable Report on Senate Bill Pro-
viding One.

The commissioners of the District are In
favor of the establishment of a puhIic
park In Georgetown, according; to a report
forwarded to Congess today by the Dis
tict authorities on Senate bill No. 32Ss.
providing for a public park on Georgetown
Heights. The bill upon which report is
made by the Commissioners was intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Galliuger.
and it appropriates the sum of $50 coo
with which the Commissioners are author
lied to acquire or condemn the tract of
land known as ''MontroSe," to be used for
the purposes of government reservation.
The tract of land, which 1t is proposed
to convert into public park, is situated
Immediately north Of r street and east
of Lovers Lane" on Georgetown Heights
The tract contains about sixteen acres
This is the plot of ground which large
number of the prominent women of George
town have been endeavoring to have set
aside for the purposes of a government
reservation.
The members of the Georgetown Citi-
zens' Association and many private fndi-
viduals urged the purchase of square
of land bounded by SD and 34th, Q and r
streets, for park. The cost of this square
was estimated at about $130.000
The Commissioners, however, favor the
tract advocated by the ladies of George
town as the more suitable location for
park in that section of the city.
In their report to Congress the Commits
sioners state that the location proposed in
the bill is very suitable and the price
named is reasonable. The Commissioners
mentioned that considerable number of
Georgetown citizens have petitioned them
TO establish park in the square lying be-
tween Q and r and 33d and 34th streets.

the bill.

reward, ii may be wise for us to Guido
even Great Britain in our naval program
Is it the part of wisdom to encourage an
unsafe and impetuous and adventure-loving
executive by loose talk and with big APP
preparations? Should he not be made to
feel that the sentiment of this country is
for peace. not for strife? 1t always has
been SO, and it always should be.
"Since the Spanish-American war. 1t Is
true. the people seem to have been carried
away with the glamour of military achieve
ments. The spirit of the man on horseback,
for so many years SO sore an aidiction to
the people of France, apparently stalks UNI
restrained throughout the land. A shrewdly
conducted movement was initiated about
two years ago to cultivate a public senti-
ment in favor of mighty navy.
Many prominent men whose business IL
terests were closely identified with the ship
building industries then banded together for
the avowed purpose of popularizing vast
expenditures for the naval service. So
stupendeus have the expenditures for the
naval and military establishments become
that important and needed improvements
have been indefinitely deferred"

WHEAT PASSES DOLLAR MARK.
Cereal for May Delivery Touches High
Figures at Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 19.-Attended by ex-
element not often equaled, wheat today
advanced nearly cents bushel. The
grain pits on char ge were from start to

me- mum.
The long coveted goal in speculative dol

May delivery today selling high as $10S
a bushel. The price named Is SIC. to 3esc-
above yesterdays closing figures.
Today's close was within NC. of the high
est point of the day. The sharp advance
was due to the fear that the war would
not be confined TO Russians and Japanese.
Bulges of over a cent on the Liverpool and
Berlin markets were the immediate factor
Scarcity of cash wheat suitable for milling
purposes was additional element OF
strength
Trading was extremely active, the aggre-
gate of business for the day being enor-
nous. May wheat opened at 81 90 to S1.0l.
and after touching s1.01as declined suddenly
to 995sc. on selling by the Armour interest.
The price rebounded, however, as easily
as 1t had fallen, and soon reached the top
notch again. Late in the day the price
touched $1.U3. Except during g. corner in
1898, May wheat has not reached today's
record since 1891. Advances were also
made in other speculative articles, notably
in provisions. Pork for May delivery
jumped up 521se. per 100 pounds.

SENSATION AT TOKYO.
Correspondence Relative to Chinese
Neutrality Reveals Interesting Facts.

Neutrality heVealS interesting FactS.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, February ia dispatch
from Tokyo says: A sensation was caused
here today when the Official Gazette pub
lished correspondence relating to the neu-
trality of China.
Mr.. Griscom, American minister, address,
ed a note to the Japanese government, ex-
pressing the desire of the United States
that the neutrality of China, and, as far as
possible, her administrative entity, might
be respected and the area of hostilities be
localized and limited. thereby preventing
undue excitement and disturbance among
Chinese people and causing the least posi-
BILE loss of commerce and interference with
the peaceful interests of the world.
Baron Komuri, foreign minister, replied,
giving absolute assurance that the Japanese
government was prepared to engage and
to respect the neutrality and administrative
entity of China outside of the region occu-
pied by Russia, provided Russia makes SIM
liar engagement and in good faith fulfills
its terms.
The Chinese government, in the note also
published, explains to Japan It's proposed
steps to maintain neutrality.
Japan replies to China in a note dated
February II, assuring China that imperial
mausoleums and palaces at Mukden and
Hsingking and Chinese public buildings ev-
erywhere will be respected and protected
unless they extend aid and comfort to Rus
Sia.
Japan further declares that war is being
waged by her, not for conquest, but solely
for defense of her legitimate rights and in
terests. Consequently, the Japanese gov
eminent has no intention to acquire terri
tory as a result of conflict at the expense of
China. Whatever action may be taken by
Japan on Chinese territory as a result of
military necessity will not be such as to
impair Chinese sovereignty.
There is much comment in diplomatic cir
cles upon this magnanimous and gratuitous
declaration by Japan.
