man on duty, had made the mistake of
shutting off the valve. The court
further finds that Ensign Charles D.
Wade, of the engineer department of
the ship. was at fault in failing to see
that the steam valves and safety valve
were overhauled at the proper time and
kept in good order, having accepted the
verbal statements OF subordinates that
this had been done in March. 1t is
clear that he was negligent in the per-
formance of his duty and should be
brought before a court-martial. The
navy department has not yet acted on
the proceedings and findings.
The court consisted of Commodore
Stevenson, retired, and Captain E. },
Moore and Captain Thomas S. Phelps,

st. Petersburg. Aug. 2S.-The effect
OF President Roosevelt's personal in
fiuence towards reconeiling the differ
enees between the Russian and jana
nese plenipotentiaries is being
watched with the closest attention
here. Though all save the highest rep.
resentatives of the foreign Office are
in ignorance of the exact status of the
negotiations, it is felt generally that
the negotiators are on the verge of
a deadlock. The public at large has
practically reconciled itself to the ap-
parent necessity of continuing the war.
and there is only one opinion about the
desirability of peace-if obtainable
without humiliation. The action there
fore Of the president is far from un-
welcome.
A growing conviction is noticeable I
In official circles that if the confer |
ence failed it would be because OF in
ability to agree upon the question Of
indemnity, which is regarded now as
practically the only point on which
there is no hope Of agreement, unless
the Japanese reduce their demands
very materially.

The Seedless Apple.

A GraDd Junction Colorado fruit
grower has produced a seedless apple
that has creaied 10th interest and as
tonishment, and we may add much in.
credulity on both sides Of the Atlantic.
A company has been organized to plant
orchards all over the United States,
and Switzerland and England are pre-
pairing to put out nurseries Of 10000
trees.
King Edward has manifested keen
interest in the new fruit and there was
sent to hin a specimen of the seedless
apple.
A dispatch from London, says
Messrs. Shearn purchased for SIS three
months ago two Of the only four alleged
seedless apples which have so fan
reached England.
Columns have been written about
this fruit. Never before has an agri,
cultural product received such a boom,
and orders for the trees have poured
in from all parts of England.
But there was an army of skeptics
who talked and wrote with never
failing energy, their sole desire being
to see the two samples possessed by
Messrs Shearn put TO the test. Foul
swift cuts and those seedless and core
less apples were undone, revealing JUS
as many pips and hNrder and larger
core than most other apples have.
There was gasp OF astonishment
among the onlookers, and the com
ments which were made were as heart
less as the apples had been claimed Il
be.

Base Ball.

In a general way it may be said that
on no other athletic field are the qualities
Of ingenuity and resourcefulness more
advantageously employed than on the
base ball diamond. Football. to be sure,
demands the exercise of these ele-
ments, but not in any greater degree
than base ball. In base ball, more
over, the haza.d attending any momen.
tary lapse Of attention and intelligent
observation is greater than in almost
any other game, is frequently decided
by the passage Of player from one
base, the third, to the home plate, and
so simple and causTal thug as a fun
BILE may often result in this loss,
It's unnecessary to draw attention to
the physical advantages to the player
Of the game Of base ball. No other
game can be said to exceed it in its
ability to call into activity every mus
Gle Of the body, while insisting also
upon the exercise of swift and accu-
rate vision, Of the most careful judg-
ment in gaging distances, and of the
discrimination in play.
In exercising also the faculties of the
spirit, the ethical and moral sense Of
a man, the game of bases ball is espe-
cially to he recommended. Self restraint
under the most trying circumstances,
steadiness under the severest provoca-
ton, such as the efforts of partisan
spectators to "rattle" a player, pa.
tience in batsman and pitcher alike
these qualities are drawn upon in
every game and the man who has the
most of them in the most abundant de-
gree is, other things being equal, usually
the winner.
or course, the most striking feature
of base ball is its cleanliness and sci

Of this fact, be called kind of living
