MAY COMBINE TRACKS.
Washington Jockey Club and Pimlico
J,,l


Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE Md, May 30-BaltImor-
cans, who are fond OF horse racing are in
dulging in bit of gossip just now which
is of interest to people of this city and
Washington. II is stated on good authority
that the managers of the Pimlico track
have concluded not to spend any more
money on the grounds and that they will
look for grounds about halfway between
this city and Washington. The property at
Pimlico is owned by the state and city, 1t
is stated, and must some day revert TO the
owners While nothing definite has yet
been done respecting new grounds for the
racing association, it is thought that the
officials are looking for property in one of
the counties between here and Washington.
Shout this be accomplished" said The
Stars informant Maryland will have one
of the best tracks in the country. Being
midway between the two cities. 1t would
necessarily attract the sporting people from
both places, and big crowds would attend
every meeting. The present condition of
affairs on the New York tracks and the
uncertainty of the betting question in
Washington tend to make the establish
ment of the Maryland track a certainty.
In Maryland the law recognizes bookmak-
ing on races run in the state. and such
track would therefore have legal standing
in every respect. Races could be con-
Quoted twice year. and the track would
undoubtedly become of the most i'm
portant ones in the country.
1.-THE establishment of such a track" he
continued, would also mean that other
Improvements would follow 1t would GER
tanly put Washington and Baltimore in
connection with trolley road, and would
also be followed by the construction Of a
boulevard between the two cities. Should
such track be constructed. there would
be automobiles enough in the two cities to
demand the construction of boulevard,
and it's construction would certainly fol-
low"

Hnl's double to left In the first inning Just
touched the end of Burkett's fingers. and
he would have turned a wonderful play had
he held on to the ball. as he had run quite
a distance.
Mr. Selbach. in center field in place OF
Chick Stahl, put out the entire side IN
the first inning on flies. all of which were
easy.
Manager Stahl got in a nice single In he
fourth inning. and was neatly sacrificed to

and no run was scored.

the former threw home nicely TO catch

WILL TAKE SOME TIME.
Russia Not to Hurry About Future
Course.

PARIS. May 30-The view that prevails
in official quarters here Is that some time
must elapse before Russia reaches final
determination as to her future course but
il is anticipated that she is likely to canvass
the situation among the friendly nations,
with the purpose of ascertaining the best
possible basis for the conclusion of the war.
However. the French officials do not expect
such processes to advance rapidly owing
to the leisurely methods Of Russian diplo-
macy and the conflicting internal elements.
1t Is certain that If Foreign Minister Del
casse's advice is solicited it will be exerted
in behalf of the re-establshment of peace,
but there is no indication that France will
take the initiative until definitely requested
to do so.
Conversing recently with diplomat
relative to the possibilities of peace NJ
Delcasse said II was easy to give advice.
but difficult to have 1t accepted. Never
theless his influence had Been constantly
exerted toward a pacific solution.
Premier Rouvier shares the same senti-
ments on the subject as NJ Delcasse. and
powerful financial interests are in favor
of peace.
For the moment however. the officials
here absorbed in the visit OF King
Alfonso, which affects the most vital fea-
ture of French foreign policy. and there
fore 1t is of more immediate concern to
France than Russia's dilemma. cabinet
council was held at noon and the min
listers were occupied chiefly with the final
arrangements for the kings visit.

REAR ADMIRAL DAVIS VIEWS.
Thinks Russia Must Make Peace-a
Hazardous Undertaking.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-Rear Admiral c.
H. Davis, U.S.N., was In this city today
to meet his wife and daughter, who ar
rived on the iceland. Speaking of the Rus
sian naval defeat the rear admiral said:
"If the cables are true that there has
been no relative Japanese loss in the bat
tie in the Korean strait, Russia will be In
a position where she must make peace. 1
consider Admiral Rojestvensky a very
daring and hazardous undertaking to force
the Korean strait, for it placed him in
Togo's hands.
My opinion was, and this opinion was
shared by other naval officers, including
Capt. Mahan. that there would be no en-
gagement, and that the Russians would be
allowed to get to Vladivostok. 1 did not
think the japanese would risk an engage
ment on which depended their all"

Baron Hayashi on Victory.

Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister.
in an interview in London last night. said: :
I'VE all rejoice at Togos magnificent
victory. We had confidence he would not
be so badly beaten as 1t was supposed
the Russians thought he would be. but
at the same time we were not entirely
free from anxiety concerning the out
come of this long expected naval battle
Now we feel quite easy in our minds. and
the remainder seems easy.
Whether this fight will prove a step In
the direction Of peace we cannot Judge
Outsiders cannot express an opinion of
any value on this point The question
must be regarded from the Russian
standpoint. One thing Is certain--this
makes the Japanese further naval and
continues Vladivostok may become Sec
ond Port Arthur. It seems impossible.
under the circumstances, that Russia will
send more ships to the far east.
I'VE consider the victory as the most
decisive OF modern times. It's effect will
be far reaching, and 1t will have an In
fiuencs not only on the future Of the far
east, but also on Europe. Russia can no
longer be reckoned with as a naval pow
er. It is my opinion that Togos victory
is on par with that Of Nelson. achieved
a century ago this year"

tenn of a young country. In her natur- al environment and under the stimulus of the American climate-a climate
 which makes for the development of nervous energy rather than for that Of
 sex-she doubtless is. as she rather loudly claims to be, the very blossom and crown of things feminine. But here in the Old World, not only are sur
 rounding conditions very different, but
 we women are made of slower. heavier,
 yet more passionate and dangerously infiammable, stun. Light without heat appears to be common enough in her case. In ours it is practically unknown. Andso isnotimpossiblefo us togo the
 lengths she does in certain directions take dress and filtration as example without definite and highly undesir-
 able results. It follows that, notwith- standing her brightness and, as a rule, her virtue, the influence of the Ameri- can woman not only in England but on
 the Continent, has been extremely
 harmful It has made for frivolity. for
 extrayagance, for selfishness. It has
 tended toward the decay of fine man. ners, toward lack of reverence and re- ticence, and an increasing impatience of restraint. It has brought us the in-
 terviewer-that enemy of the dignities of private life It has taught us to spell society with capital letter. It has also taught us the art of self advertisement in all it's branches. It has
 gone far to indoctrinate us with the
 hardly grace begetting belief that
 everything in life really worth having
 can be bought for hard cash, and that
 it is the primary duty a self-respect-
 ing woman owes herself to be in a
 position to buy it.-Lucas Malet, in
