Expectations That He Would Fail.

The return of M. Witte to st. Pc
tersburg also has special interest
because, as is fully understood in The
inner circles of the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington, his appointment as a
peace commissioner to represent the
Car was given him not for his beneht
but was brought about by his enemies,
who expected that his failure to effect
successful peace negotiation would
be his permanent political undoing. 1t
was NJ. Witte who opposed the war and
favored its conclusion long before peace
was arranged. He was detested by the
military party, and the intrigues of the
Russian court placed him in an un-
comfortable position before the Gar.
1t was argued that If he could be sent
on the impossible mission of making
peace when the entire court was con-
vinced that the attitude of Japan would
make the peace conference failure, he
would return discredited and forced for
the first time in his career to approve
the continuance Of the war, which was
desired by certain of the court digni-
taries up to the time peace was de-
clared.
Still Working for his Downfall.
Now that the good fortune and the
artful diplomacy OF NJ. Wire nave con-
fused his enemies he Is no better loved
by them than he was when they con-
spired to intrust him with mission
they believed he could not successfully
perform. It is learned at Washington
that even now those same enemies are
planning future traps for the eminent
statesman who has been favored by the
god of fortune. When he appears be

The secret of success is finding out

the thing that it is easiest to do, that

Most discouraging of all the obstacles

hins. Minehan is good sized fellow, but net A giant like Overall. He stands about feet 10. I should say, and Is well built. He is a college mar, and has good noodle that Is alwa:s working. I've never seen Chech or overall work, and I un- derstand they are both good men, but If they have anything on thJ lad from Birmingham I miss my guess.'
 Calliope Joe is known all over the south as an indicator handler, end his exper- fence makes him valuable judge of players. What he says about Minehan is therefore well worthy of consideration. Burke made such a good reputation for himself as a square and competent of- ficial in the South Atlantic league last season that President Kavanaugh lost no time in signing hlm for the Southern in 1905. He has a tremendously loud and clear voice, from which he derives his nickname Burkes home Is in Birming- ham and he will umpire all the spring exhibition games in that city, including the four with the Reos.
 "Calliope enjoys one unique distinction, said Magnate Ashenbaeh of the Charles ton Sea Gulls. "He is the only umpire In the South Atlantic circuit who didn't put me off the field last year"
 That's right" came back the loud voiced one. And you know why I guess. You never let me come over to Charleston because you knew I'm no home umpire, and wouldn't stand for some of those monkey shines I've heard about"
 Burke will be in the city about two weeks visiting relatives.
 New York, February 13.-Manager Grif- fifth today received a communication from Happy Jack Chesbro, from his home in Conway, Mass, in which the great spit ball exponent notified Griffith that he is ready to accept Pop Anson's offer to wager that he can bat six spit balls out of the lot. Chesbro writes:
 T will stick to my original proposi- ton and bet dear old Pop that I will pitch him six lalls and that he can't catch any of them Jet alone hit them"
 To this Griffith added: "I will back Chesbro and will let my old manager wear an apron and then bet he can't even stop the balls that Ches will pitch him.
 New York February 13-During the exhibition trip the Giants will open two new baseball parks. On April they will play at Columbus, opening Neill park, the new home of the American association team. On April McGraw's men will open the new Washington park at indianapolis, and remain for a game the next day. Arthur Devlin, the Giants third baseman, writes from Washington that the champions may be invited to march in the Inauguration procession on March 4.
 Al Whitredge, who has signed to pitch for the New Orleans club, was married on Wednesday to Miss Laura Hayworth at the brides home in Indianapolis.
 Billy Hart has refused a fine offer to pitch for New Orleans and will go out again as umpire in the American as- sociaton.
 Billy Sweeney goes back to Rock Island this season. He played good ball for Toledo last year, and another year in the Three I will nak9 him ripe for fast company.
