At South Side Park tomorrow the
Wilmington Club will play the st.
Louis Stars, a team composed of lad
les who are touring the country, and
as this will be their first appearance

n game as some Of the professional
clubs, they play a fast game and can
make it hot for most of the amateur
teams.
They are all good hitters and base
runners and the contest should prove
novel and exciting. Miss May St
Leon, their pitcher, can shoot them
over in a style that would Go credit
to most professionals. The xvii

The Russian and the Japanese plen-

shock yesterday. The vibration was
noticed at $40 p. m. and lasted two
or three seconds. Much excitement

enough to knock down crockery or to
break windows.
Reports were received from Kittery,
across the PiscataQua river I'm Maine,
Hampton. Rye Beach and other neigh
boring points that the vibration had
been felt
Z An important detail in regard to the
conditions of peace is the fact that the
formal recognition Of Japan's posses

below Kuenchengtse, the junction of
+ the branch Of Kirin, involves payment
+ By Russia to China of a sum estimated
at s75.000.OOO. This is the Chinese
